Errant Moggy
The place I come back to when I'm done wandering around.
Dust at the Wall
The Perihelion Cycle
Dust at the Wall: 3.40
S. A. Jinks	Dust at the Wall	Leave a comment
The blood is power.
Kevat family motto.
Night came in slow on a chill autumn evening. Everyone left the kitchen for the main room. Sarea stayed in place.
Mae appeared around the corner, in the scarlet light of a sun almost fully set, with an armload of old sacks and a worried look.
"Lots of them," she said. "Doubled the groups. Every five, ten minutes maybe. Whole lot of noise near the gates."
"We've got to get the heads," Sarea said.
"Yeah." Mae rubbed the side of her nose. "We'll have to time it right. Couldn't find the way out Pachin used. Could be he magicked himself over the wall, unseen like. Wouldn't recommend it. They've got archers."
Since when did the Instigators have archers? Sarea ducked her head, studying the sackcloth. And since when did Ionas fly? "We have to do this."
Mae took her hand and squeezed. "No risk without reward, Biter." Then, "Heyo, you're cold."
"I'm fine." Sarea pulled her hand back. "I've been cold before." <!
More men meant more torches, but Sarea stepped out into a night of faintly sweet wind and a clouded, moonless sky, only the faintest trace of blood-red flickering out onto the clouds. They had dark, at least, to hide in, but…
"They'll see my fire," she said.
"We'll make a way," Mae said. "C'mon."
The emptiness, the silence, was all the worse for the men stomping around and checking alleys and side-streets. Mae kept her on the move, pausing for bare seconds in one shadow or another before darting off again on a zig-zag across to the pit. That, at least, was out of the way of patrols. Maybe they were avoiding it.
Sarea didn't blame them. Not tonight. The pit had never been safe on moonless nights. People simply disappeared, sometimes from right behind you, without a word or a shout.
She stopped five paces from the edge, always the safe distance, certain of where it was even in shadowed grey murk. The water bubbled. She had to listen to be sure of it, so quiet was the sound. The sweetness in the air seemed all-pervading, for all it was so faint, but had lost its sickly twist. And… on the wind, she was certain she could hear a man's voice, but couldn't make out the words…
Mae caught her hand and tugged her along. Sarea didn't protest.
She scanned the edge of the marsh, through reeds struggling to survive, for the first hint, or sign, of – there. A cluster of leech-heads, bowed, sheltered in a patch of dead reeds not more than a pace off the bank. They looked runt short, heads lacking even the faintest trace of red. They hadn't fed for a long time. She tugged back at Mae's hands and pointed.
Mae whistled, low. "That's not creepy at all."
They split the sackcloth between them. A surviving sack to put the heads in, a roll of fabric for Mae to pick up the heads with, and only enough for Sarea to wrap one of her arms up, so she didn't have to watch out for both hands. On Mae's word, Sarea inched towards the cluster, holding her free hand out, back up, fingers curled slightly to hide the candle-flame flicking in her hand.
Closer. Closer. Closer –
A leech-head on the edge shifted.
Had it moved with the wind? It was swaying… but it was swaying alone. The dead reeds rustled, but not a single other leech-head moved.
Mae swore, creeping up next to her. "Hold it there, Biter."
The swaying leech-head turned, slow, towards her bare hand. The short stem seemed to lengthen as it moved. Reached. Another another one followed, and another, and another…
The man's voice was saying, "This is my mercy. This is my mercy." Over and over…
"Burn it!"
Sarea blinked. A dozen heads coming towards her. She yelped, lashing fire out at them in the very instant Mae yanked her back. She stumbled and hit the ground. Mae darted forwards, cloth in hands, snatching at the ground as charred-stinking stems snapped back into the mass of heads.
"That's one way to lure 'em," Mae said cheerfully. She held up their carry-sack. "Seven down. Moving on."
Sarea stared up at her. This is my mercy. This is my mercy. Something was wrong here, with… but the West Side was always wrong, wasn't it?
They needed to do this. She needed to.
"Yes," she said, and pushed herself up.
The trick worked the same on the second and third clusters of leech-heads, both as pale as the first, but the fourth had red heads. It coudn't keep still, tall stems that danced with each other, awake and alive. It lashed out so quick Sarea couldn't summon flame fast enough, but Mae stuck with her knife and decapitated one, and the rest fled.
They moved on.
Sarea lured, Mae warned. Sarea burned, Mae collected. They avoided Instigators and moved through the night.
The voice in the wind spoke, and only sometimes could Sarea understand it. Every time she did, her head swum, and she had to lean against something.
"Twenty eight," Mae said, at one cluster. Sarea'd lost count of how many they'd found, or the time they'd spent out here. Without the moon, she couldn't keep track of time, and there were so many leech-heads, and most of them hungry. And it sounded like the wind… was…
… laughing?
She snapped straight awake, heart pounding. Laughter. She could hear something laughing.
Sarea didn't see torches, didn't hear feet, but she edged closer to Mae and said, low, "We need to go."
Mae tensed, a little, and tied the sack up. "You tired, Biter?" She glanced around, quick blue eyes enough to pierce every shadow. "This can get rough."
"We need," Sarea said, "To go. Now."
The wind was laughing at her –
"Sure thing," Mae said, and caught at her elbow. "This way."
They made their way back along the great, curving edge of the pit, Sarea's skin prickling the whole way. The West Side was deathly silent, except for the stomping. She couldn't breathe right, not quite, like the air'd become too heavy to hold inside her.
The Instigators are following us.
It didn't make sense, but she'd never been so sure of something. They knew they were here, right here, and they were coming, and the wind laughed…
She stumbled over something in the dark. Mae turned to catch her, and off to the side, somewhere, there was a soft sound. Like a boot scuffing the ground.
Breathe, even if air wouldn't hold. Focus. Fire came so easily, now. "Stick to the plan," Sarea said, and she sounded hoarse, but at least it was quiet.
"Don't you even," Mae said.
"They want me. They won't hurt me." Sarea stepped back. Not yet. "You have to stick to the plan. That's an order."
She whirled in flames. She caught the pale face of a man ducking back behind a building before fire wisped out into nothing, and she ran.
Shouting erupted. She didn't dare look back, only listen to the sound of boots chasing her, voices calling to each other. She ran, gasping. Mae could fight. Mae could do anything. But they wanted her, were always going to, the only Durasoona left in the West Side –
Where was she? She hesitated, blinking. The world blurred around her, but she could focus on this. She stood in a dead-end ally. Someone talking behind her, calming, like she was a wild animal to be tamed. She launched herself forwards and scrambled onto a rooftop. This landscape, she'd know even if they blinded her.
She needed to hide. She needed a place they couldn't find her. Somewhere safe.
No, she couldn't go there, they'd know… something was wrong, the world blurring again…
Home. If she went home, she could work out the rest later.
She shuffled her way across ramshackle rooftops. Her feet knew the way home more than her brain did. Around this corner, hide in this shadow from running men. Across that street, down this side-street, and back to the edge of the marsh pit. A sharp turn right took her to the half-collapsed ruin of the old Durasoona house. The kitchen that used to be their entire home. The fireplace, which she climbed up like she'd never left. The creaking wood of the first floor.
She crawled into a corner that felt stable, curled up, and closed her eyes to the dark.
The water flows.
Le Nife family motto.
Someone left them breakfast – weak soup and bread – before the whorehouse opened in the morning, but the building sat quiet, not a single male voice echoing up. Sarea sat on the bed, staring at dust motes dancing in cracks of sunlight. Mae leaned against the wall, sharpening the knives from – her new knives. Or so Mae insisted.
Sarea barely knew how to use the damned things.
"Tell me," Mae said.
Sarea glanced across at her. "What?"
"Lay it out. Quiet-like. It's better than this."
Sarea hugged her legs against her chest. "When we go out, tonight, we're going to collect leech-heads."
"Yup," Mae said. Shink. Shink.
"We need a bucket and as much of our skin covered as possible. The only thing they don't like is fire. So we're going to take torches. Or you're going to. There's…" she shrugged. "I'm going to have to show you. It's a trick." More
So that happened.
Er.
Roundabout the time I last just. Stopped. Writing Dust, I hit a funk and couldn't muster up any enthusiasm for anything I was already doing. Which happens, sometimes, to a lot of people. I didn't stop writing – well. Come June, when 3.37 was posted, I kind of did. There are no words in June 2015. July is pretty low too.
2015 was a very bad no good year for a lot of people. I was one of them.
When I stopped writing Dust, I felt guilty, because I associate this place with it, so I avoided this place completely. In retrospect, I needed the month or two to get my act back together, but not the other four. My bad. The world outside my window seems to get worse and worse, and I felt… lost. Buried under a huge pile of shit and negativity. And my anxiety flared up hard all the way through December – the cold, the dark, the perpetual feeling like shit and being surrounded by crowds and screaming capitalism – I'm only just feeling like… well, me again right now.
I have a nightlight now, too. Bertha. A purple turtle that shows the stars on my ceiling. Light can banish nightmares like it was used to banish evil.
If anyone's still out there, I can't apologise for taking time away from something, or for being continually spotty, or my brain weather. I can tell you I'm back, that I promised myself when I started that I was going to finish Dust at the Wall and I will, that I know I must improve in many aspects and by all the holy fish in the world I will try, and for all I know I will fail the deadlines again and again, I will always get back up and try again and again.
Also, I did actually write.
I wrote Apocalypse Girl, a short about a woman who caused the apocalypse. This spawned more stories about what she did after, and then started to explore the furthering consequences. It's on Tumblr, where I'm Errant Moggy, and AO3, where I'm Twitchiest. It's fairly dark, and there's violence and assault and the end of the world and short-form writing. I tag it "murder murder death death stabbity" but, you know, I'm not actually one for gore, so. I like it. It's strange, for me, but I like it.
Also, you're going to see more plants. I'm on a gardening course. I am absolutely loving it, except not the weekly plant identification tests, or the prospect of double-digging a massive bed starting next week. Help. Please. Help. Can I just be 'sick' that day…? But getting to be around lovely green things and watching them grow…!
Ahem. Yes. So: See you back here on the 25th of January, twelve noon, for Dust's return. There'll be a recap released in that time, and one or two drabbles I wrote whilst I was getting my head back into it.
Here's a hope that 2016 is a better year for everyone.
Those who flee survive.
Ap-Merill family motto.
Sanctuary earned a bed behind a secret door, a wash with clean water, a candle, and a long time alone, lying on her side, hoping Amisine didn't find her.
Mae slipped in, stepped on the floorboard in front of the door. It creaked. "I like these people," she said. "They're angry."
Sarea sighed.
"I reckon we can do it," Mae said, settling on the end of the bed. "Rest up tonight. Between you and them, we got the lay of the land." She patted Sarea's leg. "What's the plan?"
"No plan," Sarea muttered. What'd she been thinking? Now she'd gotten Mae stuck here too.
"C'mere." Mae pulled at Sarea's ankle and, groaning, Sarea sat up. The Hunter nudged her. "You got a plan in there. Think it through. What you got so far?" More
Remember where the heart lies.
Gan family motto
Sarea took too long to leave the house. The sweet smell lingered out here, night shrouding all but the marsh in darkness. She could hear men shouting, distantly, to her left. Mae might need help.
What help could she bring? The air stood still. No wind or breeze to manipulate, even if she could. She could use fire –
And every noble girl in the town knew she used fire. She didn't think Commander Jorge stupid enough to ignore gossip. What could she do to help Mae that wouldn't give her away in an instant? How did she know he hadn't worked out her last name and wouldn't be waiting for her at Isaye's, the next time she visited?
Who'd stay friends with a Durasoona?
She walked along the outside of the marsh, to the right. Around, in the dangerous waning moonlight, for almost a full quarter of the pit, then right over a handful of shack rooftops to an alley. She couldn't hear any patrolling Instigators. Maybe they were all distracted by Mae.
She walked out, then right. Barely half a minute, at a walking pace, to the crossroads where they'd helped da and Ionas out of the West Side. But if she kept going… the main alley cut all the way around the West Side. She'd find Mae. Maybe find a way to help her.
She needed to leave. Out of the walls and the shacks, she'd be safe from Amisine, and the thing in the pit. Everyone seemed to insist being the Sun mattered. It'd be the right thing to do.
But how long could she going to run from the West Side? More
Dust at the Wall 3.35
Never forget, never surrender.
Pachin family motto.
The West Side stood still and silent when they crept in over the rooftops.
Mae found an empty shack and propped the door open just enough. The building, shorter across than Sarea was tall, stunk of nothing more than dried mud and rot. Sarea sat in one dark corner, hugging her knees to her chest, and Mae in the other, legs crossed, counting seconds and minutes with a hand patting her knee. Every now and then, men stomped past, armoured boots heavy on the ground.
Mae said, "One every quarter. Four to a unit."
Sarea nodded like she understood.
"Come on." Mae pushed herself onto her knees. "You show me those plants."
Sarea's knees and back ached when she crawled out of the shack, and the air smelt like sickly sweetness, but the empty quiet of the West Side soothed her nerves. She led Mae between buildings to the edge of the marsh pit by her old home, and crouched on the edge.
"I'm sorry about Aldhouse," Mae said, settling beside her. More
The sun is our guide.
Auros family motto.
It's only to keep me safe until tonight, Sarea told herself, elbow-deep in dishwater. Only until Mae comes for me.
But the kitchen – the Hunter's kitchen – only seemed to get louder and louder with each passing minute, every word and laugh another bar on the cell keeping her trapped here, pushing her down. The kitchen got busier, too, more people brushing past her, plates and bowls rattling as they were set down and she had one more stack of work to do. The acrid scent of the soap had her stomach churning. She couldn't even smell the food they were cooking.
Only a little longer. Only a bit more…
The Squirrelfic.
This is the squirrelfic. Or the squirrel crack. Depends on who you ask. It's not canon. Or rather – it didn't happen in this universe. In another version of Dust, where I let go and wrote complete crack for eighty thousand words, definitely.
(I couldn't do that. Sorry. It always gets annoyingly serious ten chapters in, and that's not the point, is it?)
It could easily take place any time between the festival and… well, you'll see. Sarea is quite snarky as a squirrel. I blame the shock of suddenly not being human… and the power of crack.
:-#-:
Sarea woke slowly. Sunlight fell through a gap in the curtains that posed for walls, right onto her. She curled up tighter in the warm patch, tail twitching. She hadn't felt like this for a while. Even if this was Durabilis, and Keyne's workshop didn't manage the same temperature as her cottage did in autumn and winter, well… the bed's comfortable, the sun is lovely and warm on my fur, and I haven't anywhere to go for hours, she thought idly.
She paused. Wasn't there something wrong with that thought?
She stretched and sat up, testing the air. No movement, just the sound of Keyne at work. She opened her eyes, sat back, and paused.
Fur? Why did she have fur?
Never mind, she decided, and leapt off the bed. She went under the curtains and jumped down the stairs. If Ionas was still here, she could take him shopping. They had the money for it, and she felt like making something for Keyne. A good meat stew, maybe.
She jumped onto one of the chair seats, and up again onto the back. In the corner, where Ionas usually slept sat upright against the wall, was just his coat on the ground. On top of it, a large red squirrel slept, curled up tight.
Jumping down, she darted up to the squirrel and sat back to stare at it. He'd gone out already, of course, but why leave a squirrel behind? She leaned in, touching it with her paw. It woke up suddenly, blinking brown eyes at her.
"Oh, hello," it said, in what was definitely Ionas' voice. "You're a little far from home, aren't you?" It got up, wincing, and cradled its right leg against its body.
She put her head to one side. "Ionas?" she said.
He focused on her intently, then looked down. "Oh," he said.
Sarea sat back, frowning at him. But the gesture felt… wrong, somehow. She touched her face with… her…
Paw. She had a paw. Four paws, she counted, standing up and checking them all. She had a long, bushy tail. And fur.
Sarea sat down again. She'd become a squirrel.
To the glory of Durabilis.
O'Hallorn family motto
Once the party was over and they got back to Isaye's home, Sarea changed as quickly as she could without ripping the beautiful dress, pulled her coat on, and went for the front door.
"Sarea!" Isaye caught up to her in the entrance hall. "You're leaving so soon!"
"I'm sorry," Sarea said. "I can't -" She closed her eyes, breathing in and out for a moment before turning back to Isaye's wide-eyed look. Still in her gown, she stood with a hand half-raised. "I need to be alone," Sarea said. "To think. I'm not use to…" She raised her hand and let it fall again. "That."
"Of course." But Isaye still looked hurt. "You looked fine, though…"
"Please. Just let me get some fresh air. I'll be back tomorrow." Sarea shook her head, turning back to the door. "It's not my place -"
Two arms around her. A firmly female presence at her back.
"You looked like a queen," Isaye whispered. "So perfect. Why can't you see that?"
Feet frozen to the ground, Sarea said, "Durabilis doesn't have queens."
Isaye laughed. "Used to."
"Please." She couldn't breathe. "I'll come back, I will, I just need -" Air. "Please."
Isaye sighed, letting go. "Tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow," Sarea said, and went for the door.
We endure.
Durasoona motto
Sarea barely finished dressing before Isaye pulled her out of the house under the shelter of a expanse of cloth on sticks and into a carriage. It was painted blue and silver, with an interior of deep red and soft, cushioned, seats.
"Where are we going?" Sarea said.
"Oh? I didn't say, did I." Isaye giggled behind her fan, gold contrasting against a blue, short puffy-sleeved gown. "The palace."
Sarea sat back and stayed still. Amisine poked her head through the ceiling and said, "It should have been ours."
"What should?" Sarea said, low.
"Sorry?" Isaye said.
Sarea managed a smile. "Thinking aloud."
"The palace. The city. The country." Amisine fell through and landed on the floor of the carriage on her back, and didn't make a sound. "The world."
The carriage rattled over a pothole.
"What would you do with the world?" Sarea said. Isaye closed her fan with a series of wooden clicks.
Dust at the Wall updates every other Monday.
The Perihelion Cycle will be back when War of Mirrors is complete.
The lotto updates every Thursday, if there's something to be had.

Theatre Royal Bath until 22 January
Words by Melissa Blease
The veteran British actor Charles (Game of Thrones; The Crown; the RSC; etc) Dance is standing centre stage wearing an ill-fitting, French Revolution-era ballgown, similarly ill-fitting white stockings and a ludicrous wig. The previous night, Tom (Marvel superstar) Hiddleston did exactly the same thing, wearing exactly the same outfit (at least, I'm guessing it was the same one; I can't see anybody wanting to keep that frock in their own wardrobe for posterity).
On other occasions, an eclectic roll-call of stage, screen and TV superstars including Ralph Fiennes, Ewan McGregor, Sir Ian McKellen, Daniel Radcliffe and Dawn French have gamely subjected themselves to the same ordeal: guest starring in aspiring playwright Thom Tuck's play-within-a-play A Tight Squeeze For The Scarlet Pimple, which Thom's comedy partner Dennis Herdman has secretly hijacked and turned into a tribute to Morecambe and Wise, with a £5,000 fee from West End producer David Pugh (who is, as it happens, the real-life production's real-life co-producer) creating added incentive for Herdman's grand deception.
Complicated, convoluted… ridiculous? Indeed. But hey, the plot matters not. What matters is that director Sean Foley (who co-created and performed in the original incarnation of The Play What I Wrote back in 2001, directed by none other than Kenneth Branagh) has created a new revival of a production that not only pays respectful tribute to one of the UK's best-loved comedy acts, but represents an utterly joyful homage to the centuries-old tradition of British comedy theatre itself.
Above left: Thom Tuck as "Tom" and Dennis Herdman as "Dennis in The Play What I Wrote
Above right: Dennis Herdman as "Dennis" and Thom Tuck as "Tom" in The Play What I Wrote
Above: Dennis Herdman as "Dennis", Mitesh Soni and Thom Tuck as "Tom" in The Play What I Wrote
Set-up, punchline, set-up, punchline, set-up, punchline, tag. Open-ended gags that never reach their conclusion. Slapstick, innuendo, intentional corpsing; cross-dressing, crossed lines, absurdity; timing, timing, timing: if you're looking for a masterclass in the customs, conventions and, if you like, etiquette of classic high-octane farce, this is the show for you.
As Dennis (the 'Morecambe' one) and Thom ('Wise'), Dennis Herdman and Thom Tuck make an entirely believable double-act, their seamless, impeccably-timed, non-stop repartee occasionally subtly tinged with the harbingers of impending failure, Thom relying on his Next Great Play to dig them out of a hole, and Dennis constantly defying desperation with optimism. As sidekick Arthur ("and, of course, Eddie Braben" – and of course, fans of Morecambe and Wise will know what that means), Mitesh Soni does a tremendous job of multi-tasking in all manner of roles and situations, his Scarlett Johansson in particular grabbing the limelight as the second mystery guest star of the evening.
If your appetite for live 'n' ludicrous is limited, there may be times during The Play What I Wrote when you could find yourself having to fight the urge to go home and watch actual Morecambe and Wise (or Reeves and Mortimer, or Horne and Corden, or even The Young Ones – Eric and Ernie's influence was far-flung, and timeless) instead of hanging on for the punchline that you know is never going to hit us. But having said that, perhaps being reminded of the original power of the influence represents the true power of a truly good homage? Ultimately, The Play What I Wrote brings sunshine to the stage.

Q: An IP address of EC2 instance gets changed after the restart I am running an EC2 Linux instance. For some maintenance purposes I shutdown the instance and started it again. However, EC2 IP has changed now.
How to keep an IP address of Amazon EC2 instance unchanged after stop and start it again?

A: Elastic IP has its limitations.
If you have reached the maximum number of Elastic IP addresses in a region, and all you want is a constant way to connect to an EC2 instance, I would recommend using a route53 record instead of using IP address.
I create a route53 record that points to the IP address of my EC2 instance. The record doesn't get changed when the EC2 is stopped.
And the way to keep the record pointing to the address of the EC2 is by running a script that changes the route53 record when the EC2 launches.
Here's the user data of my EC2:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="//"
MIME-Version: 1.0

--//
Content-Type: text/cloud-config; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="cloud-config.txt"

#cloud-config
cloud_final_modules:
- [scripts-user, always]

--//
Content-Type: text/x-shellscript; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="userdata.txt"

#!/bin/bash

# get the public ip address
# Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38679346/get-public-ip-address-on-current-ec2-instance
export public_ip=$(curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4)

cat <<EOF > input.json
{
  "Comment": "optional comment about the changes in this change batch request",
  "Changes": [
    {
      "Action": "UPSERT",
      "ResourceRecordSet": {
        "Name": "my-domain.my-company.com",
        "Type": "A",
        "TTL": 300,
        "ResourceRecords": [
          {

    }

# change route53 record
/usr/bin/aws route53 change-resource-record-sets \
  --hosted-zone-id <hosted_zone_of_my-company.com> \
  --change-batch file://input.json >
--//

Here I use my-domain.my-company.com as the route53 record for my EC2.
Also remember to replace <hosted_zone_of_my-company.com> with the ID of your hosted zone.
By using this method, you get a route53 record that points to your EC2 instance. And the record does not change when you stop and start the EC2. So you can always use the route53 record to connect to your EC2.
Remember to assign an IAM role that has route53 permissions to the EC2 instance so that you can run the user data without errors.
And remember that the user data I provided is intended for use with Amazon Linux 2, and the commands may not work for other Linux distributions.

A: Yes, you can.
Go to Elastic IP and Create one.
Then select the newly created Elastic IP and Select Associate Elastic IP and select the Instance ID to which you want to associate it with.
That's it. The IP will now be assigned even if you reboot your EC2.
Do note that AWS charges $0.005/hr for each Elastic IP, And $0.10 per Elastic IP address remap for additional remaps over 100 per month

A: Actually, When you stop/start your instance, the IP address will change. If you reboot the instance, it will keep the same IP addresses. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to reassign the address to your instance as that address would have been released back into the pool used by other EC2 instances.
If you want to avoid this issue in the future, depending on your needs:

*

*If you only need a fixed public IP address, you can assign an Elastic IP address to your instance.

*If you need both public and private IP addresses to remain the same throughout the lifetime of the instance, you can launch your instance in VPC instead. The private IP address assigned to an instance in VPC remains with the instance through to termination.

To learn more, see the aws documentation to assign elastic ip.

A: It depends on which IP you speak about:

*

*Public IP: try to use an Elastic Ip, then you will not have this problem anymore. You can allocate an new one to your instance directly on AWS Console or programmatically. But if your are using an autoscaling-group you will have to do it on your user-data or cloud-init process.

*Private IP: Unfortunately you cannot fix a private Ip address to an instance. The only way is to use DNS and in that case a private DNS zone for you VPC (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fr_fr/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-dns.html). No need to buy a domain in that case.
I would also recommend to use DNS on the first case with maybe a domain you have rather than using an IP address

A: If you don't want your IP adddress to be changed after stopping and starting your EC2 Instance, use Elastic IP.
For more reference on how to use Elastic IP:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html

A: There are two easy ways to solve this problem:
1.Use Elastic IP. However, I don't recommend this method. Last I checked, if  your instance is not running, elastic IP will cost you. This I think is to ensure you do not reserve an IP not to use it.
2.Use load balancers like application load balancer. Connect your load balancer to your EC2 instance. This way, even if you start and stop your instance, it does not matter since you are using the public DNS of your application load balancer. You can also tie your load balancer to route 53 to get a better DNS.

Inhibitory effect of N-acetyl cysteine and ascorbic acid on the development of myringosclerosis: An experimental study.
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the effects of ascorbic acid and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) antioxidants on the development of myringosclerosis (MS) in an experimental model.
METHODS: Myringotomies were performed in the ears of 15 guinea pigs, and Spongostan(®) pieces were placed on the perforated regions of the tympanic membrane. The subjects were divided randomly into three groups and treated with three different solutions on the Spongostan-group 1: (control, 0.9% saline), group 2 (ascorbic acid), and group 3 (NAC). On day 15 after treatment, specimens from the tympanic membranes were obtained and examined via light microscopy. Sclerosis and inflammation scores and the tympanic membrane thicknesses were evaluated. Immunohistochemical methods were used to evaluate the expression of VEGF, TGF-β, iNOS, and IL1-β in all groups.
RESULTS: Lower sclerosis and inflammation scores and reduced tympanic membrane thicknesses were observed in groups treated with NAC or ascorbic acid compared with the control group. Immunohistochemical studies revealed significantly less expression of VEGF, TGF-β, and iNOS in groups 2 and 3 compared with group 1. Additionally, IL1-β expression was significantly less in group 3 than in group 1. Compared with group 1, group 2 animals exhibited reduced inflammation in the lamina propria, fewer active fibroblasts, less leukocyte infiltration, and decreased thickness of the vessels; group 3 animals exhibited decreased numbers of active fibroblasts and collagen fibers in the lamina propria.
CONCLUSIONS: Inflammation scores, cellular infiltration, and expression of VEGF, TGF-β, and iNOS were reduced by ascorbic acid and/or NAC treatments, thereby decreasing MS development. Decreased expression of IL1-β was observed only in animals treated with NAC.

Q: Version control: delete branches after merging? When you branch some code, finish working with the branch, and merge it back to the trunk, what do you do with the branch? Delete it from the repository? Keep it for reference?
It seems like you would keep it for reference, but I imagine the /branches directory could get pretty cluttered.
(If this isn't something people generally agree on, please comment and I'll make it a community wiki.)
Clarification
jleedev is right - we should specify which version control system we're talking about.
I had Subversion in mind, but would love to hear responses regarding other systems, too. Please specify which one you're answering about, or, <bribery>if you want to get the accepted answer</bribery>, compare and contrast several systems.

A: Answering my own question much later
Now that I use Git, yes, I do delete branches when I'm finished with them. This is because in Git, a branch is nothing more than a label pointing to a specific commit.
When I first heard that, I didn't quite understand, but it's literally true. If you go into a project which you've got under Git version control and open .git/refs/heads, you will see one file for each branch you have, including master. Each file contains the hash of a commit. That's it.
Obviously, creating such a file is very cheap, which is why branching is cheap in Git. That, in turn, is why I can branch often, and it would be silly to have branches like add_bells_to_the_widget piling up everywhere.
Once a branch is merged into master, its commits are part of the master branch's history. The only purpose of keeping the branch would be to know which commit I considered that last one on a branch. And that's not very relevant to me when the code is in production.

A: I remove reintegrated branches since I do not need them any more. Git and Mercurial keep branching/merging history anyway. In subversion I'd keep old branches to have a reference to commit history.

A: I always prefer keeping the branches. Yes, I can use them as reference, or simply retrieve certain version any time.

A: SVN users generally tag branches to keep the branches directory clean, no?

A: In every project I work on we delete the dev branches as soon as we're done with them. We do however branch the code when we release and hold on to those for a while

A: I've never deleted branches, but consider it a matter of personal taste. You're not actually deleting the revisions from the repository when you delete the branch.

A: If there is any chance the branch will have a life of its own, obviously you keep it. If not, i would probably keep it but revoke write access. Disks are cheap.

Danny Grant
Daniel Frederick Grant (born February 21, 1945) is a Canadian former ice hockey left winger, who played in the National Hockey League for parts of fourteen seasons, most notably for the Minnesota North Stars.

Grant was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick. After a fine junior career with the Peterborough Petes and a season and a half in the minor leagues with the Houston Apollos, Grant made the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens in 1967–68, playing 22 regular season games and 10 playoff games. Grant helped Montreal win the Stanley Cup in 1968.
He was then acquired by the Minnesota North Stars, and in his 1968–69 rookie season with the club won the NHL's Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's most outstanding rookie player, thus becoming one of only four players who won the Stanley Cup the season before winning the Calder Trophy. He would remain a star for Minnesota for six seasons, scoring nearly thirty goals a season during his tenure.
Despite this, Grant was traded during the 1974–75 season in a surprising deal for defensive forward Henry Boucha (whose attraction to the franchise may have been that he was a Minnesota native), and the trade backfired badly: Grant had his best season that season, scoring 50 goals for the Detroit Red Wings while on a line with superstar centre Marcel Dionne, and becoming only the 12th player in NHL history to accomplish that feat. However, Grant was plagued by injuries from that point on, and only played partial seasons at best thereafter. He retired after the 1978–79 season to coach a Tier II junior team.
In his career, Grant notched 263 goals and 535 points while playing for the Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota North Stars, Detroit Red Wings and the Los Angeles Kings, and played in three All-Star Games (1969, 1970, 1971).
In 1985, he was inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame.
Grant went on to coach the University of New Brunswick hockey team in 1995 and 1996, and the Halifax Mooseheads Quebec league junior team in 1998. Grant has been an assistant coach for the St. Thomas Tommies men's hockey team since the 2002–03 season.
Grant now sits on the TELUS Atlantic Canada Community Board,[1] which allocates funding to organizations which involve youth and/or technology throughout Atlantic Canada.

The Effects of Achievement Motivation and Perceived Teacher Involvement in Academic Tasks on the Academic Achievement and Psychological Well-being of Rural Students in the Interior Sabah Division, Malaysia
Getrude C. Ah Gang @ Grace, and Crispina Gregory K Han, and Lay Yoon Fah, and Lawrence Alan Bansa, (2018) The Effects of Achievement Motivation and Perceived Teacher Involvement in Academic Tasks on the Academic Achievement and Psychological Well-being of Rural Students in the Interior Sabah Division, Malaysia. International Journal of Education and Psychological Research (IJEPR), 7 (3). pp. 4-10. ISSN 2349-0853
The Effects of Achievement Motivation and Perceived Teacher Involvement in Academic Tasks on the Academic Achievement and Psychological Well.pdf
This study examines the effects of achievement motivation and perceived teacher involvement on academic achievement and psychological well-being of rural students in the Interior Sabah Division (Beaufort, Keningau, Kuala Penyu, Membakut, Pensiangan, Sipitang, Tambunan & Tenom). We predicted that achievement motivation contributes to both academic achievement and psychological well-being. We also predicted teachers' involvement in students' academic work also contributes to both dependent variables. A total of 1586 students participated in this study from 21 rural schools in the Interior Division Sabah. A questionnaire, divided into four sections, was used to measure all the variables. Section A measured the demographic variables, such as the academic achievement, academic level, age, gender and location; Section B; measured achievement motivation; Section C measured the perception of teacher involvement in students'academic work and Section D measured psychological well-being. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to analyze the data. The study found that achievement motivation contributed 4% to the variance in academic achievement and 16% on psychological well-being. In regards to teachers' involvement in academic studies, it contributed 6% to students' psychological well-being but not in academic achievement. These significant findings may create awareness and bring the matter to the attention of the Ministry of Education, the schools and Parent-Teacher Association. From this study, it is our hope that the Educational Institution may provide more achievement motivational programs to enhance rural students' psychological well-being and academic achievement.

Wherever you find yourself on the Growth Probability MatrixTM, the first thing to remember is that good or bad, this isn't an objective diagnosis of your organisation: It's your opinions that are being reflected here. So, take some time to absorb your results and take a look at some of the tips for the GPIs (Growth Probability Indicators) that you have rated as low.
If you're a CEO, Managing Director and/or Business Owner then a critical next step should be to work with your senior team to build a 'Shared View' of where your business stands today and what you need to do differently.
If you're not the ultimate decision maker in your business, but you've found the Matrix and the introspection useful, why not encourage your CEO, Managing Director or Senior Partner to take a look?
You have a great chance of achieving your growth goals! Your business offers a significant opportunity for profitable and sustainable growth and, crucially, the senior team has the ability and means to fulfil this potential.
If this assessment is correct, then you are in great shape overall. But markets change and new competitors emerge; so why not explore what you could do to move further towards the top right of the Matrix and maximise your chances of success?
Your chances of success are limited. Your business has significant growth potential BUT the senior team is not as able and/or effective as it needs to be in order to realise that potential.
This situation can be difficult for everyone concerned, but if this assessment is correct and you do not address it, then you are all likely to miss out on the opportunity that you've worked so hard to create.
Your chances of success are limited. You may have a strong, talented team but the business itself demonstrates little potential for profitable or sustainable growth.
If this assessment is accurate, then you must 'correct your course' by developing the markets, propositions and capabilities that can provide this growth. On the plus side, you have a team capable of rising to this challenge!
Without significant changes, you have little chance of achieving your growth goals. Your business has limited growth potential and the senior team is not as able and/or effective as it needs to be to meet your growth aspirations.
If this assessment is correct, then you must address this quickly. Start by reflecting on what makes your business distinct: Who are your most loyal customers? What are your most profitable products and services and why? Then build a small team strong enough to help develop the markets, propositions and capabilities that you need to succeed.
It's difficult to place you firmly in one of the main quadrants. This means that all four are possible over the next few months and you have work to do to maximise your chances of success.
If this assessment is correct, then you should focus on improving those GPIs where you've scored lowest. You could soon be 'Full Steam Ahead!'.

With the automobile products coming in the market with low shelf life, it has become a necessity for the car producers to renovate the products to revive their lost sales. On an annual basis the car manufacturing companies bring in a refreshed version of their existing models to come at par with their competitors. Maruti Suzuki seems to be doing the same with its existing Swift Dzire, which it has facelifted and presented in the month of February as 'Swift Dzire Tour' for commercial taxi operations. This will be available in both the fuel base variants, the petrol variant will be Lxi and diesel variant will be LDi. The Petrol variant has been priced at Rs.4.88 lakh and the diesel variant is priced at Rs.5.91 lakh.
With the launch of the new Swift Dzire Tour the question immediately pops up for the earlier version's future. Maruti intends to direct the Swift Dzire into the taxi segment as well. The new Dzire Tour will come with the usual features like AC, power steering wheels, exterior side view mirrors, front and rear bumpers and with a tiny change in the handles of the doors which are black now.
The popular Indica and Indigo by Tata Motors did quite well in the taxi segment of India whereas Toyota Etios literally rules now in the luxury taxi segment in many metro cities. Swift Dzire was one of the dominating brands in this segment along with Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent and Mahindra Logan till Etios entered this February. The reason which made Toyota Etios instantly popular is the fuel economy, leg room anddependability in terms of adequate after sales services. Although, if we look at the after sales service of Maruti Suzuki, it is the most reliable brand with its numerous service centers. Even if we compare the price we will find that Toyota Etios Petrol sells at Rs. 6.69 lakh and its diesel variant sells for Rs. 5.14 lakh, while Mahindra Verito Petrol sells for Rs 5.97 lakh and the diesel variant sells for Rs 5.04 lakh.With the competitive price this model is being offered at, it's still lower than what the other brand models are being offer in this particular commercial car segment. Pricewise the petrol variant is the lowest in its category, the price of the LDi diesel variant will be approximately close to Tata Indigo XL.

Gershom Zajicek
"Eppur si muove !" Galileo's heroic outcry was legitimized recently by the Vatican (1). After twelve years of inquiry the Vatican concluded that both sides in the dispute acted in good faith. At that time, Galileo's arguments were still inconclusive and the Inquisition remained therefore unconvinced. It is true that the compelling evidence for the Heliocentric theory was obtained nearly a century later (2), still, doubts about the sincerity of Inquisition remain. Vatican's declaration is regarded by the scientific community as a victory in a prolonged and on going dispute on profound issues, and attention is now turned to the next, Darwin versus Creationism. However, "Eppur si muove" unveils also a hidden and unpleasant aspect of modern science, far less heroic, and relevant to medicine.
"The sun rises and the sun goes down. . ." (Ecclesiastes)
Modern science has accepted the Copernican hypothesis as dogma, regarding it as absolute truth. And yet, the Heliocentric theory contradicts our daily experience of a rising and setting sun. Does this new view of the universe justify the abandoning of ancient wisdom, e.g., that of Ecclesiastes (Chapter 1,5) ? We are told that by simplifying the representation of the universe the Heliocentric hypothesis improved the predictability of eclipses. Ptolemy's representation, based on the Geocentric doctrine, was extremely complex. Heavenly bodies moved in epicycles and the estimation of their trajectories was difficult. On the other hand in the Heliocentric universe conceived by Kepler, planets moved along simple ellipses. The universe became simpler and even more esthetic. Still, does this justify the rejection of daily experience? Why not leave Kepler's equations to Caesar and keep Ptolemy's for our daily life? Isn't Ecclesiastes' view of the universe as worthy and esthetic as Kepler's? Such a heretic view is met by modern science with contempt. Ptolemy's proponents are regarded as quacks, charlatans or alchemists, since "Ptolemy was wrong and Galileo is right !". This is the hidden aspect of Galileo's struggle. It is a struggle on absolute truth. Now, since even the Vatican backs Galileo's "eppur si muove", Ptolemy is wrong by decree of Heaven.
According to the Vatican, the Inquisition did not object so much to the Copernican theory, but to Galilelo's belief in its absolute truth. "Had Galileo not championed the absolute triumph of the Copernican hypothesis, he would not have been persecuted" (2). In view of the "benevolent" history of the Inquisition such an understatement sounds like a farce. Yet it illuminates the hidden aspect of the feud between Science and Church. The monopoly of absolute truth.
Prior to the era of modern science absolute truth was part of religious belief, revealed to mortals by prophets and demi-gods. To the first Greek philosophers, e.g., Thales, Anaximander and Heraclitus (3), truth was relative. Later on Plato laid the foundation of an absolute reality that is concealed from us. His philosophy was adopted by the exact sciences claiming that knowledge of absolute truth is achievable scientifically. This view places scientists like Galileo shoulder to shoulder with prophets and other messengers from Heaven. An unacceptable situation that the Church tries to correct with the aid of its Inquisition.
Einstein posed even a greater threat to the Church than Galileo. Galileo dethroned only the Earth, while Einstein dethroned Heaven and its inhabitants. Fortunately the Church was saved by Einstein's disciple, S. Hawking, the high priest of the "Big Bang" theory (4). Hawking's mathematical equations describe concisely the history of the universe from its very beginning, leaving the actual creation to God. While Science and Church embrace Hawking with love, his theory actually refutes the existence of absolute truth. It demonstrates that both, Copernicus and Kepler, were wrong.
According to Kepler, since planets move in ellipses, each year the earth will advance along the same route. Yet if the universe continuously expands, as maintained by Hawking, we all expand in it and earth trajectory is not an ellipse but an ever expanding spiral far more complicated than Ptolemy's epicycles. In Hawking's universe neither does the sun go around the earth, nor is the opposite true. Why not then embrace Ecclesiastes?
The censored Albert Einstein
This seemingly unexpected conclusion was obvious to Albert Einstein. His theory may be difficult to understand, yet its name reveals its philosophical background. Einstein's relativity applies to our measurements and how we conceive the universe. Since everything is relative, so is truth. According to Einstein "the two sentences 'the sun is at rest and the earth moves' or the sun moves and the earth is at rest' . . .can be used with equal justification." (2,5). Einstein's relativity of truth is ignored by the scientific community or better, it is censored in its collective consciousness.
The three theories, Ptolemy's, Copernicus', and Einsteins', are equivalent, neither replaces the other, and they are used when convenient. Kepler's laws are used for predicting eclipses, galaxies continue expanding according to Hawking's equations, and the geocentric universe still dominates our daily life since it appeals most to our common sense. The same common sense that served medicine from the dawn of mankind and was banned by the exact sciences.
Fleck was interested in the philosophical theory of reality. As physician he realized that the Platonic approach of the exact sciences is not applicable to medical reasoning and felt that neither does it applies to exact sciences themselves. "Truths" evolve and emerge (6,7). Truth in science depends on a particular thinking style by a group of scientists, or thought-collective. A thought-collective is "a community of persons exchanging ideas or maintaining intellectual interaction". The individuals of a thought-collective share the same thought-style. Truth and falsehood in science are meaningful only within a specific thought-collective and with respect to a given thought-style and depend on the purpose of investigation. Different views can be equally true (8).
Fleck maintained that even if in the thought-collective of the exact sciences truth is regarded as absolute, it is actually relative to the truths of other thought-styles. The "eppur si muove" story supports Fleck's assertion that even in the exact sciences truth is relative and continuously evolves . Science and religion belong to two thought collectives of persons exchanging ideas. In spite of their different names both may be regarded as sciences. Nothing in the scientific thought-style makes it more "scientific" than that of the Church. Yet if relativity of truth is taken as scientific hallmark, the two thought-styles differ. Why not then leave absolute truth to the Church?
The Bible as scientific document
The three western religions regard the Bible as ultimate truth and have difficulty to deal with modern scientific discoveries that are either not mentioned in the Bible or contradict it. Like dinosaurs whose remnants are obvious even to believers? Or, how to reconcile between the Genesis story and Darwinism? According to the Israeli philosopher and scientist J. Leibowitz the Bible is not a scientific document. Its sole role is to guide Jews how to serve God. On the other hand, many stories in the Bible were proven scientifically, and archeologists search the Bible for clues where to dig and how to interpret their findings, regarding it as a valuable scientific document.
From the viewpoint of the scientific thought-style, the Bible is a scientific document, and its statements, scientific hypotheses. One of them is Creationism. Despite its "Ptolemic aura", it is a valid scientific hypothesis. Yet when creationists maintain that theirs is the only correct theory they actually join the non-scientific thought collective. As long as this aspect of Creationism is explained to the students there is actually no harm in teaching Creationism in schools.
Truth in medicine
Medical thought-style (9,10) has a unique way for examining the correctness of statements. Any statement that improves the patient's well being or restores his health is medically correct. Medicine should investigate not only traditional statements, but also the so called "unproved methods", usually labeled as quack medicine, e.g., para-medical theories, Chinese method, or spiritual approach .(11). Following the example of the exact sciences, modern medicine still adheres to absolute truth, attacking dissenters, even devoted physicians and healers (12). The medical establishment does not shy away from attacking even distinguished opponents like P. Duesberg, a retro-virus expert who doubts that AIDS is caused by HIV. Duesberg may not be a Galileo, yet the scientific establishment hastily applies Inquisition tactics in order to destroy his credibility (13).
Indeed "eppur si mouve". Earth, sun , truth. Anything! (3).

26 January 2016	(Last Updated January 26th, 2016 18:30)
Lockheed Martin has agreed to separate its Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business unit and combine it with US-based defence company Leidos Holdings.
Under the terms of the deal, Lockheed will receive a one-time payment of $1.8bn, while the company's shareholders will receive approximately 77 million Leidos shares with a projected value of $3.2bn.
The remaining Leidos shares will be held by the company's existing shareholders.
Lockheed Martin chairman, president and CEO Marillyn Hewson said: "This strategic transaction is an important milestone in the portfolio reshaping strategy we announced in July 2015 and allows us to focus on our core business in aerospace and defence.
"The combination of our proven IT and technical services businesses with Leidos will create a new leader in the government IT sector."

So happy to be signing off my online blog posts finally. I've always wanted to do this but never explored or search further to find out how-to, since it wasn't one of my top priorities.
But blessings came unexpectedly when I visited a Blotanical member's garden blog two days ago for the first time! Not only was I treated to such an awesome garden display of kaleidoscopic autumn colours, but was introduced by chance to this wonderful site. It was while enjoying the spectacular autumn photos by Jan of Thanks for 2 day, that I playfully mouse over her personalized signature and viola it was a clickable image that linked to MyLiveSignature.com. It's an online personal signature maker that offers free personal signature generator to create your own signature for emails, blogs and others, besides paid service for other advance animated choices. Wow, a treasure hunt that took no effort at all on my part. Thanks, Jan!
Thus, I thought it'll be great to share here my recent delightful discovery and how easily you too can add a signature to personalize your blog posts.
Go to MyLiveSignature.com. You need not register or set-up an account for its free service. Click on Click Here To Start or the Proceed button.
To create your new signature, click on the link, Using the signature creation wizard or its icon.
Enter your name and click the Next Step button to continue.
Select the font that best suits you. There are 120 different fonts available for selection. (My selection was #29, after going through all 120 of them...hehe, just curious to see them all!). Click on the Next Step button to continue.
Select the font size for your signature, by clicking in the circle beside the size # you desire. Then, continue with a click on the Next Step button. (I've selected size #4).
Select the color for the text and background, and then click on the Next Step button to continue. For my signature's text color, I've selected #131313.
White - the default background color #FFFFFF is white. It's fine if that's your blog's background color, otherwise it'll create a box border, enclosing your signature and appear unappealing as seen in the photo below. To make it borderless, choose either one of the next 2 ways.
Choose the colour that matches your blog's background color - enter the colour hex code if you know or go to your blog's Dashboard | Layouts | Fonts and Colors, and get the color hex code of your Page Background Color from there. This will make your signature clearly defined without a border.
Transparent - tick in the box beside the word 'Transparent'. This is the best choice I've discovered after trying the previous two. Choosing 'Transparent' will automatically create a well-defined signature without a border and will fit all blogs, irrespective of the blog's background colour. An excellent choice if you have many blogs with different coloured backgrounds.
Set the slope. 10 choices from #1, and #10 having the steepest slant. That's it...when you click the Next Step button, your signature is ready to be used.
Click on the Want to use this signature? link which will direct you to the generating signature code page where it explains the need for this special HTML code.
Click on the Generate HTML code link, where you will be provided with 2 options . You can either generate a code for just your signature alone, or generate a combine code of your signature with other additional information. I've selected the first option which is most suited for my blog posts by clicking on the Generate a code for my handwritten signature link. Once the HTML code of your signature is generated, you can then copy and paste the code into your blog posts. Advisable to copy and paste it too into any text editor like Notepad or TextEdit, and save file for later use.
The website has also provided details on how to add your HTML signature in email messages, blogs and websites. Click on the respective links available to go about it.
Click the Publish Post button when all's done.
Then check the box beside Expand Widget Templates.
Then, click Preview to see whether your signatures were added and if all's well, click Save Template. Otherwise, click Clear Edits and try again.
This personalized signature can be applied to LiveJournal and Wordpress, besides Blogger, as well as to forums, email messages and websites. Isn't that awesome?
Wow, that's a great discovery! Will certainly go on a hunting spree to look for a nice signature.
Just finished editing all the signatures, blog sure looks great.
You're most welcome! It sure is with that cute siggy of yours...nice artistic flair!
Jacqueline, I just added my signature to my blog by changing the HTML code in my template, thanks to your easy to follow steps. Yahoo! I am so happy.
By the way, how did you post the screen print pictures here?
I just saw your siggy, Autumn Belle...real cute and cool! Congrats, you're a fast learner, great that you attempted the template way...it'll give you more confidence now with HTML code, right?
Re screen shots, I use the Grab Application that comes with my iMac to capture them, then save and convert to jpeg files in my computer and include text, etc in photoshop. To post here, I follow the same way as done with any other digital pics, ie using the 'insert image' icon at Compost mode of the Post Editor.
I've previously used 'Skitch' a better alternative where annotations, arrows, circles, etc can be added to the screen shots, but I've yet to update my expired version to get it running again. I'm unsure whether it can be used on Windows pc but you may want to check it out here: http://skitch.com/ to have an idea and find an alternative compatible tool for Windows, if Skitch is not applicable.
Thanks for this very informative post that Autumn Belle pointed to in her last blog post. Can you get the signature created with MyLiveSignature onto a photo? Up till now I've been experimenting with doing it with IrfanView, which works but is a little complicated.
You're most welcome, Barbara! I don't think that's possible because siggy created with MyLiveSignature are in html code. I'm not familiar at all with IrfanView. I simply use Photoshop to sign off my photos.
Great blog! Thanks for the blogger tips; I was wondering how to do a couple of these things; already added a couple to my blog and they worked great. I'll look around some more but I am also looking to add numbers to my comments in blogger. I've tried a couple tutorials and they never work out. It seems that the template I'm using might be part of the reason but typically it's a hard task in the newer version of blogger. I operate a review and giveaway blog so numbered comments would help me out greatly, instead of having to count every giveaway entry(comment) myself.
Thanks for the thumbs up, This Lil Piglet! Frankly, I think numbering comments is cool but have yet to learn how to do that...maybe someday soon, I hope!
I tried this and the steps were just perfect. However, the signature appears after the "link within" scroll bar (and far away from the end of the post).. How to set this signature just after the last line in the post.. Pls do visit my blog and see if you can help !
Hi Mom Chef! I've spent more than 3 hours scrutinizing my blog's template (@ edit template), hoping to trouble-shoot your problem but am up against a wall! I think my template is corrupted...the Expand Widget Templates is not functional, so couldn't find my HTML signature code, etc.? Hence, unable to proceed to experiment. Sorry!
Anyway, I've visited your blog and I would think that the positioning of your signature looks perfectly okay. To me, it's more meaningful as positioned now ie below the Link Within since you are the one introducing your other posts by 'saying' You might also like:....right?
It appears I am the only one having a problem with this. I have created two signatures. The first on with a transparent background...it had a slight blue border around it when I added it to my blog. I then tried with a white background and it looked exactly the same with the slight blue border around it. It doesn't look good at all. The background of your page where you add your signature appears to be the same color blue as the "slight blue" I am talking about. I don't want a border...any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks, I am sure I will back to you site often.
Thanks for the thumbs up, A Vegan Goddess!
Re your problem, you mentioned that you've tried with a transparent and a white background, yet both resulted with the same coloured border. So, I'm just deducing that it could be an issue with your browser? Have you tried viewing your created signatures with another browser?
Moreover, my background at the post footer which includes my signature among others has been purposely coloured a light grey (#f2f1f2) not blue as remarked by you... so probably you've to sort out at your end what's causing your problem. Sorry, I'm unable to help further.
I also want to thank you for such informative tutorials & information! I am extremely new to blogging & in the midst of the learning curve right now so to find your site was a blessing. I am also having the same problem @Mom Chef is having. I tried to go to her blog to see if maybe she found a fix for it but was unable to gain access. I was curious if you were ever able to find out why this happens with the signature coming after the 'linked within' & 'print friendly' widgets? Your answer to her made perfect sense to me but it just looks so weird on my blog. There is quite a gap in spacing between the end of my post & my signature. I love my signature so much, and was hoping to find a fix for it. Thank you in advance for any information you may have on this topic.
You're most welcome and thanks for your kind comments, StaceyAnne. Sorry, I'm unable to trouble-shoot and help solve your problem at my test blog as I no longer install the LinkWithin widget on my blogs. Nevertheless, revisiting an article I wrote previously on how the LinkWithin affects placement of Read More Link @ http://jacqsbloggertips.blogspot.com/2010/01/linkwithin-affects-placement-of-read.html at paragraph 5, has given me some insights that may help.
at the place where you want the LinkWithin widget to appear - in your case, place the above code below your HTML signature code if you want your signature to appear first.
This was soooo helpful. Thank you!
Happy to know that, Jen! Thanks for your appreciation.
Thanks a lot for the valuable information Jacqueline.
This was really helpful for me. Thanks again.
You're most welcome, Suntaragali! Happy to know my article was useful for you.
Excellent. This is the best article which explains all the steps to add signature to blog post in detail. I do appreciate you for the way you have simplified this process. Very helpful.
Thank you for your generous comments, Jimmy.
Hi. Kindly read and follow the steps carefully. This MyLiveSignature.com offers the personal signature generator for free.

Impeachment brief: House presses case while Americans divide over Trump's fate
Orlando Arcia's job in jeopardy? Brewers trade Zach Davies, Trent Grisham to Padres for Luis Urias, Eric Lauer
ANDREW WAGNER For the State Journal
Luis Urias struggled in 71 major league games in 2019 but posted a .998 OPS with 18 doubles, 19 home runs and 50 RBI in 73 games with Class AAA El Paso.
MILWAUKEE — The holiday shopping season doesn't traditionally start until early Friday morning but David Stearns, always on the hunt for a good deal, found one too good to pass up.
The Milwaukee Brewers president of baseball operations took his first step toward shaping his team's 2020 roster Wednesday by dealing outfielder Trent Grisham and right-hander Zach Davies to the San Diego Padres for left-hander Eric Lauer and infielder Luis Urias, along with future considerations.
"We are excited to add two young, dynamic players to our organization," Stearns said in a news release. "Both Eric and Luis vaulted through the minor-league system before contributing at the major league level at young ages. We believe that both have a chance to be impact major leaguers for years to come."
Lauer, 24, was San Diego's Opening Day starter last season. He went on to make 39 starts in all for the Padres, going 8-10 with a 4.45 ERA and is 14-17 with a 4.40 ERA in two big league seasons.
Urias, however, is the centerpiece of the deal.
Considered one of the Padres' top prospects going into last season, he hit .315 with 19 home runs, 50 RBIs and a .998 OPS in 73 games with Class AAA El Paso. And while his big league numbers weren't overly impressive (.208/.264/.354), he did close out the season on a high note, hitting.300 (24-for-80) with two home runs and 10 RBI in 24 September games.
Since signing with the Padres as an international free agent in December 2013, Urias, 22, compiled a .308 average with 36 home runs and 219 RBI in 520 minor league games.
Defensively, Urias has spent the majority of his major league career playing either second base or shortstop; positions currently filled by Keston Hiura and Orlando Arcia, respectively. Hiura, who lived up to his billing as an offensive prodigy as a rookie last season, is likely not going anywhere any time soon but Arcia, once the franchise's most highly-touted prospect since Ryan Braun, has battled inconsistency at the plate and started to show signs of slipping defensively, which was long considered his strong suit.
Adding Urias to the mix could set up another move involving Arcia, who is eligible for arbitration for the first time this winter and is in line for a significant raise from the $565,700 he earned a year ago.
"We did not have good shortstop production last year (.612 OPS, last in the National League) and we have been open about that," Stearns told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "For us to ultimately do what we want to do and be the type of team we want to be, production from that position needs to improve.
"Having competition at that position is not a bad thing. We believe we've created some of that with this acquisition. We also believe there are other positions (for Urias) to play should that be the case as well."
Davies stands to see his salary jump in 2020 as well after earning $2.6 million a year ago. Acquired from the Orioles in exchange for Gerardo Parra at the deadline in 2015, Davies, 26, went 43-32 with a 3.91 ERA in 111 starts for Milwaukee, including 10-7 with a 3.55 ERA in 31 starts last season.
Salary wasn't a primary concern with Grisham, who made his big league debut last season and appeared in 51 games, batting .231 with six home runs and 24 RBI. He was also named the Brewers' Minor League Player of the Year after combining for 26 home runs between Class AA Biloxi and Class AAA San Antonio. Milwaukee's outfield, though, is set with Ryan Braun, Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich handling the starting spots and Ben Gamel expected to return in a fourth outfielder role. The Brewers also added outfielder Corey Ray, their No. 4 prospect, to the 40-man roster and have a number of other outfield prospects in the system, making Grisham a valuable trade chip.
"It was more of a trade in an area of need for both clubs," Padres general manager A.J. Preller said. "To get good players you have to move good players."
Along with Davies and Grisham, the Padres acquired another former Brewers player on Wednesday, agreeing to terms with left-hander Drew Pomeranz on a four-year deal reportedly worth $34 million.
Milwaukee sent infield prospect Mauricio Dubon to the Giants at the deadline last season for Pomeranz, who posted a 2.39 ERA in 25 appearances down the stretch — all but one of those coming in a relief role.
Pomeranz, 31, also pitched for San Diego in 2016, going 8-17 with a 2.47 ERA in 17 starts and earning an All-Star berth before he was dealt to the Red Sox at the trade deadline.
The left-hander had a strong final two months of the season with the Brewers after being traded to Milwaukee from San Francisco. He was 0-1 with a 2.39 ERA in 25 games, including one start, striking out 45 and walked only eight of the 100 batters he faced
"We're banking that he's found a role that really fits for him and it was a chance to get an impact performer," Preller said. "He shortened up his repertoire to his fastball and curveball and both pitches became really effective pitches for him. He always had a good heater and out of pen his heater jumped up a tick or two. It became an extremely effective pitch. He always had a good curveball, and played it up."
Rays cut former Brewer Aguilar
The Tampa Bay Rays have acquired minor leaguer Brian O'Grady from the Cincinnati Reds for a player to be named and cash, and to make room for the first baseman/outfielder on the 40-man roster, the Rays designated first baseman Jesús Aguilar for assignment on Wednesday.
Aguilar, who would have been eligible for arbitration, appeared in 37 games and batted .261 with four homers and 16 RBIs with the Rays after being acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers at last season's trade deadline. He has a .256 average with 63 homers and 215 RBIs over six seasons with Cleveland, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay.
The 27-year-old O'Grady spent most of last season with Triple-A Louisville, where he hit .280 with 28 home runs, 77 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. He also made his major league debut, hitting .190 with two homers and three RBIs in 28 games over three stints with the Reds.

Q: Div to overflow horizontally (to the right) I have a div, with a few input boxes in a div and my div has a fixed height. I would like for this to overflow to the right instead of the bottom.
JSFiddle

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

<input type="text"/>

div {
  overflow:hidden;
  white-space:nowrap;
  width:200px;
  height:100px;
}

A: Use display:inline-block for the content elements you want to be horizontally scrolled, and add white-space:nowrap; to the container.
example: http://jsfiddle.net/4Lex5wdo/

#container {
    width:500px;
    background-color: #CCC;
    overflow: auto;
    height: 100px;
    white-space:nowrap;
}
.contents {
    width: 200px;
    height: 60px;
    display:inline-block;
    margin-right:20px;
}

#one {
    background-color:#ABC;
    overflow-y: auto;
    white-space: normal;
}
#two {
    background-color:#333;
}
#three {
    background-color:#888;
}
#four {
    background-color:#E29E1E;
}

Update
If you want the divs inside the container to be scrollable just add overflow-y: auto; white-space: normal; to the elements you want, for example if you want just the first div #one to be scrollable as you mentioned on your comment, do this:
#one {
    background-color:#ABC;
    overflow-y: auto;
    white-space: normal;
}

if you want all of the divs inside of it to be scrollable give this properties to the class that they all have instead which is .contents:
.contents {
    width: 200px;
    height: 60px;
    display:inline-block;
    margin-right:20px;
    overflow-y: auto;
    white-space: normal;
}

You can check the live example here on Jsfiddle or run the code snippet, it's already updated.

A: In order for you to do this, you have to get rid of the breaklines (
), and you have to add overflow-x:scroll; to your css code for the div.
You need to also set the inputs to have a display:inline-block; property.
If you want to keep the breaklines, the only way the div will overflow is if the div has less of a width than the components within it (in this case: the input fields).

Tim and Franicia — 15 Years Together Already?
It's hard to believe that Franicia and I met 18 -- yes, EIGHTEEN -- years ago! I graduated 15 years ago and, 15 years ago, we were married. 14 commands, 11 moves, 10 houses, 7 children, 6 churches, and 4 overseas moves later, Franicia and I are happier and more in-love than we've ever been. Franicia gets more beautiful every day -- she's amazing. She's a wonderful wife, a loving mommy, a brilliant woman, and the most amazing person that I've ever known.
I knew that she was the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with when I asked her to marry me. That's a funny story, by-the-way. I'll have to share it some time.
Franicia, I love you and am so thankful that you agreed to marry me and joined with me in "holy matrimony" 15 short years ago! It's been so wonderful being married to my best friend, and I look forward to seeing what the Lord does in our lives!


The Maryland Purse Protection and Retirement Program was created by the MTHA Board of Directors to provide an ongoing mechanism to fund Thoroughbred retirement initiatives, and to help preserve and promote Maryland racing by funding the Thoroughbred Horsemen's Political Action Committee (PAC).
The MTHA has designed the program to uniquely address Maryland horsemen calls to fund equine aftercare programs, while incorporating the best attributes from similar programs across the country.
The specifics of the program include an optional $10 deduction from owner's Horsemen's Account for each horse that starts a race in Maryland. The $10 deduction will be specifically allocated for the funding of Thoroughbred retirement programs ($6) and the Thoroughbred Horsemen's PAC ($4).
To offset this deduction for starters finishing beyond sixth place, Bonus Awards for participants will receive a $10 increase to $110 total.
The Maryland Purse Protection and Retirement Program will begin April 4th, opening day of the 2013 Pimlico meet.
The MTHA will distribute funds from the program to equine retirement facilities based in Maryland. An application and screening process is currently being developed for non-profits seeking funding from this program. Details will be made available within a few months time.
Owners may opt-out of this program by filling out a form available in the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association Racetrack Office any live race day between 9 AM and 4 PM or by calling the MTHA office at 410-902-6842.


One of her first projects was to use machine learning to parse breast pathology reports that has recently been published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. She collaborated with clinicians at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in which they trained a machine-learning model on pathology reports using natural language processing to extract tumour characteristics. This enabled them to build a large database of more than 90,000 pathology reports that could be searched for various cancer-related attributes. The model was tested on 500 patient reports that did not overlap the training set and revealed an accuracy of 97%, demonstrating its potential to assist physicians identify appropriate treatment protocols for individual patients.
Recognising that mammograms contain information that may be difficult for a radiologist to decipher – while computers are adept at detecting subtle changes – Barzilay has begun collaborating with Constance Lehman, head of breast imaging at MGH. Using deep learning to automate the analysis of mammograms, they are aiming to compute breast density and other scores currently done manually. Lehman and Barzilay have two ambitious goals in mind: to identify patients who are likely to develop a tumour before it can be seen on the mammogram; and to predict which patients are likely to experience a recurrence after initial treatment.
Find the Breast Cancer before metastasis , and Bob`s Your Uncle!
Detecting breast cancer before it is mammographically visible as such, is a big ask. What they are asking the computer analyses to do is to detect the soil where cancers may develop. This has long been done histologically, examining "normal" tissue in the breast that harboured the cancer. Various atypical ductal hyperplasias were associated with cancers. If they do detect mammographic abnormalities that are not overtly malignant, but precede cancer, the problem is whether prophylactic treatment is justified?


WHETHER REPORT… | Jots from a Small Apt.
Funny thing about that weather. Yesterday on the half-past five morning first dog walk of the day the weather was clear-skied, star-studded crisp and thirty-three degrees. Then again, at the morning nine o'clock second dog walk of the day, it was sunny, cloudless and crispy cold at a staggering twenty-four degrees.
My Reader impatiently asks, Where's the funny part?
I could not tell the difference, I answer.
My Reader sighs. Then tell me about that BIRD IN A BOWL.
Love all the geometric shapes implied by the light, objects, etc.
I really like your painting. The triangles and rectangles and circles and squares and all of it topped with vibrant color! …except those three black birds soaring. That little bird would do well to stay hidden a while longer.
Good Morning Raye … Trying to do a bit of catch up … Timely on this one because I see where more than a tad of rain is in your area … Then again it is the season, but not that much! Much color in this one .. the two aspects that capture my eyes (for whatever reason) are the sun/birds combo & the diagonal on the wall … and your new gravitar image is delivering British wit by starring me down. 😉 Cheers to the Rose Queen.
you walk your dog at 5:30 in the morning????? And then again at 9:00? Or am I being too literal. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last.
Love the painting Raye. The vertical line with the rectangles, circles and patterns make my eyes dance. Love this.
I don't know how I missed this curious gem. Perhaps it was the turkey, perhaps the 27 side dishes, almost all of which put the turkey to shame. Cheers,Darling!
O' you bowl me over. And put me into another 'frame of mind'.
As days grow colder, it becomes the perfect time and temperature to ask questions such as "So, tell me about the bird in the bowl…" The colors and angles of your painting make it possible to enjoy the beauty of life from a different perspective than if on a perfect sunny, summer day. Wishing you well R.
Wherever you have landed for this moment of time, R. my sensitivity tells me you are absorbing every minute that surrounds you. You share in a wondrous way…with your soul. With all the others I wait to listen to what your heart has to say. Quiet holiday wishes for you and yours. R.
Still "cold as sh*t" Keith….to quote you in this public forum! Our walks are taking less and less time. This morning Z-Z and I ran home!
No proper winter here yet in SW England!
Devil with a blue dress, blue dress, blue dress, blue dress.
Devil with a blue dress on….which means I have to buy one.
We should probably SKYPE soon!
pulling up the rear of the queue is always a treat, and I've chuckled more than once thanks to this talented group!
love the bird in the bowl, which makes us smile (again) and that's all we need – just to keep on smiling.. maybe that's chiken little, and the bowl is the anti-sky-falling safehouse!
Loved both your comments…the other one on WE RODE HORSES…many smiles here. Speaking of barefoot, I think I can one-up you….our dirt/sand was so hot on some Southern California sunny days we jumped around like fleas on sand…then ran racing for the water-filled irrigation ditches! We were a wild, dirty bunch….! Nice to see you too, Lisa. Hoping all is well. Sista R. PS: I still GAFAW out loud over Hugh's comment….
it's always great when friends nudge us to chuckles or belly laughter.. we're all lucky to have hugh, who definitely gives us coffee-spewing moments when we least expect them!
Isn't a bird in the bowl worth three in the bush? 'Love your watercolors!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!
OK, I'm confused. Perhaps too cold to press the keys? Actually similar to here. Clear, crisp, and 22 degrees yesterday on the way up the hill to the show, today, just as cold, just as clear, and me? I'm just as cold. My tea doesn't seem to be doing the job of warming my innards.
For some stupid WP reason…my reply is at the top and not here where it should be. Did you find it? R.
We're good. We can communicate externally, through the universe, just as well.

Get the appearance of longer, thicker, beautiful lashes with Bedford's best eyelash extensions and lash lift treatments. Book your appointment now with the experts at Vibe Salon | MediSpa!
Misencil lashes are more durable than mascara and more natural-looking than fake lashes! Achieve gorgeous lashes that will make your eyes pop.
Lash extensions require regular maintenance every 3 weeks. Over 3 weeks without a fill may require a new full set.
The hottest trend in the eyelash industry makes your own natural lashes look luscious and lifted and lasts for weeks! Lash lifting uses pads instead of traditional perming rollers to create a lifting effect from the base of the eyelashes. This creates the illusion of longer-looking lashes, opens the eyes, and enhances your natural lashes. Lash lifts are a suitable alternative to lash extensions and work for both short and long lashes.
Lesley does amazing lashes and is also honest when it time to give your real lashes a break. I appreciate that!
Leslie was very knowledgeable, I was super impressed with the end result is my lash extensions. I'd recommend her to anyone. Best application I've ever had.
Thanks to Lesley I discovered how much better I look with eyelash extensions. Always a good day when I get to go to Vibe!
Michele SAlways a good day at Vibe!
