Well, I suppose you are delighted to see my handwriting in ink once more, something I like myself. Now for my adventures.
On Wednesday evening I was still flat on my back at Mr. Meachen's quite sick. I was summoned in great haste, put into a wagon and rushed off with the troop to Bull Run, at a place called Stone Bridge Ford, the enemy being on the advance from towards Fairfax Courthouse in overwhelming numbers. The whole of Cocke's brigade took the same position, and we were tolerably well established by night but I had to sleep on the ground, which was not good for a sick man. I was sent by the surgeon, the next day, to this place in an ambulance, for I could not sit on my horse. This is a quiet hotel where are boarding some nice people; amongst them was Mrs. Hyde and her pretty, attractive niece Constance Cary who had come out of Alexandria when the yankees occupied it.
When the troops fell back it was done by preconcerted plan, and done without firing a gun. The enemy advanced, they thought, to certain victory but they were vastly mistaken. You must know that parallel to the Manassas Gap Railroad runs a stream to towards the Potomac called Bull Run, along which our army was placed in three positions. The center was at Mitchell's Ford which is the ford where the road to Manassas from Centreville crosses the run; the right wing was down at a ford near where the railroad crosses the same run, and the left wing was under the command of Colonel Cocke, near the stone bridge, which is the bridge over which the pike from Warrington to Washington passes. General Beauregard commands the center in person – who commands the right wing I do not know. From Manassas to Mitchell's Ford is three miles, from Centreville to the Ford is four miles. The Federal headquarters are at Centreville. It is about four miles from Manassas to our right wing. I think they call it Blackburn's Ford. From Manassas to the stone bridge is six miles. Most of our troops are on the right and on the center. I have no idea of how many we have. I only know of Cocke's brigade on the left, with which my command is operating under his orders.
About nine o'clock yesterday morning the enemy commenced an attack on Mitchell's Ford and repeated it several times. Our position there is a strong one. All of our men behaved nobly. The Virginians stood with the coolness of veterans, yet fought with the fury of tigers in the charge. Our loss, however, was very small. I learn that no member of the Home Guard was killed, wounded or missing. Major Carter Harrison, your cousin and mine, I hear was killed. You can imagine my suspense while lying helpless in Manassas and hearing the battle raging within three miles.
The thunder of guns woke me up from a troubled sleep and at first I thought it was a morning thunder shower but as I became more awake, and heard the people in the house calling to each other I realized what had happened; the battle was commencing. I tried to spring out of bed but my first movement showed me I was still in no condition to join my company so all I could do was lay back, trying from the dim sounds to visualize what was going on at the front. Below me in the road I could hear the mustering of forage details that were in the rear, the jangle and rattle of an artillery company going up at a gallop, ammunition wagons creaking as the driver prodded their horses to greater effort. Now and then the hooves of a courier went past while news and rumors were relayed up from the front of the house to the upper floors by excited shouts. I strained my ears to every word. In the next room I could hear a woman praying, between sobs, for her husband. When John Scott came up i scanned his face, it was as stolid and unmoved by the battle as by any routine maneuver. "What is happening, how is the battle going?" I asked anxiously. "Them yankees ain't doin' nuthin," he answered unmoved by the excitement. "Them yankees are just marchin' up and bein' shot to Hell." John Scott was too much of an old warrior not to be able to sort out the facts from the many rumors that were flying about and I felt easier, especially when I discovered the fighting was going on well away from our position in the lines. As th excitement outside and in the house calmed down, the sound of the fighting remained unchanged and soothed by John Scott's unemotional reports I was able to relax and sleep.
Fortunately Cocke's brigade was not engaged yesterday and there is no fighting anywhere on the line today. I expect to join them before my company is engaged.

Both public and private developers find themselves in a dilemma at present. On the one hand, there is less and less space available for play and exercise areas for children and teenagers, especially in inner city areas, while on the other hand aggression and the need to let off steam are increasing.
The dangers associated with play and leisure areas represent increasing risks for operators, but at the same time the funds available for such outdoor facilities are becoming scarcer. Safety surfaces are indispensable and are now gaining in importance, not least for insurance reasons.
REGUM elastic and safety surfaces and edgings are the economical answer to these problems.

TO: The Principals of Nursing Education Institutions
Cancellation of the Nursing Examinations Scheduled for February 2007
The South African Nursing Council regrets that due to a serious breach in security we have had to cancel all examinations that were scheduled for 21 and 23 February 2007 and nullify the examinations that were written on 19 February 2007.
The South African Nursing Council learnt on 20 February 2007 that examination papers that were sent to an invigilator were intercepted and some learners had access to the examination papers prior to date on which they were due to write the examination.
In these circumstances the Council had no option but to take the decision to cancel the examination. Furthermore we only learnt of the breach in security on 20 February 2007 which was a day after the first examination was written on 19 February 2007.
The Council will be reconvening the examination for the affected learners as soon as we possibly can, however we also need some time to put in place tighter security measures to prevent the recurrence of such an incident in future examinations.
The South African Nursing Council will inform all institutions providing nursing education of the new date for the examination which we anticipate at this stage to be around the end of March 2007.
Kindly ensure that all the learners are duly informed of the situation and assure them that the South African Nursing Council is doing everything to resolve the situation speedily. Learners will be informed about the future date of the examination through the nursing education institutions. We also appeal to the learners not to contact the Council directly.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience and disruption this has caused the learners and the education institutions, your support and understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Q: Computing sandbox with ptrace inspecting I want to launch untrusted compute-only executables in linux server. Process will have no access to system and files except stdin and stdout
My idea is to use ptrace to catch and block syscalls to linux kernel. Also i use it to get and set process internal state(registers + RAM). Is it safe sandbox? What ways you know to brake it?
Also i want to limit RAM and CPU time usage to avoid DOS

A: This is exactly what seccomp is for. Seccomp is supported in most modern Linux kernels and is designed to filter syscalls. It comes in two forms, called mode 1 and mode 2.
Mode 1 seccomp
The process is allowed only 4 system calls: read(), write(), rt_sigreturn(), and exit() (note that this is the exit() syscall, not the function. The glibc function uses the non-whitelisted exit_group() syscall). If any other calls are attempted, they will not return, and the program will be killed. This is intended for computing untrusted bytecode in a secure broker process. The trusted code can create an untrusted process which executes potentially dangerous bytecode after enabling mode 1 seccomp, and can communicate with the parent through pipes.
Mode 2 seccomp
This is also called seccomp-bpf, as it uses eBPF bytecode to create a dynamic filter for restricting syscalls based on both their number and their arguments. It can furthermore be set to take a variety of actions on violation, from killing the process by force, to denying the syscall and raising a signal to be trapped without killing the process, to returning a custom errno, to simply denying the syscall for testing purposes. The libseccomp library abstracts much of this, making it unnecessary to write eBPF bytecode yourself.
Both of these methods are significantly faster than a ptrace-based sandbox, which would incur significant overhead. Also, a ptrace-sandbox would not necessarily send its filters to any child, so calls like execve(), fork(), vfork(), and clone() would need to be disabled, lest you become vulnerable to TOCTOU race conditions. Both seccomp modes, on the other hand, preserve the filter across any execution or fork.
Example using mode 1 seccomp that securely runs "return 42" in bytecode:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <linux/seccomp.h>

void main(void)
{
    /* "mov al,42; ret" aka "return 42" */
    static const unsigned char code[] = "\xb0\x2a\xc3";
    int fd[2], ret;

    /* spawn child process, connected by a pipe */
    pipe(fd);
    if (fork() == 0) {
        /* we're the child, so let's close this end of the pipe */
        close(fd[0]);

        /* enter mode 1 seccomp and execute untrusted bytecode */
        prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT);
        ret = (*(uint8_t(*)())code)();

        /* send result over pipe, and exit */
        write(fd[1], &ret, sizeof(ret));
        syscall(SYS_exit, 0);
    } else {
        /* we're the parent, so let's close this end of the pipe */
        close(fd[1]);

        /* read the result from the pipe, and print it */
        read(fd[0], &ret, sizeof(ret));
        printf("untrusted bytecode returned %d\n", ret);
    }
}

Example using mode 2 seccomp, with several arbitrary syscall filters:
#include <seccomp.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

void main(void)
{
    /* initialize the libseccomp context */
    scmp_filter_ctx ctx = seccomp_init(SCMP_ACT_KILL);

    /* allow exiting */
    seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(exit_group), 0);

    /* allow getting the current pid */
    seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(getpid), 0);

    /* allow changing data segment size, as required by glibc */
    seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(brk), 0);

    /* allow writing up to 512 bytes to fd 1 */
    seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ALLOW, SCMP_SYS(write), 2,
        SCMP_A0(SCMP_CMP_EQ, 1),
        SCMP_A2(SCMP_CMP_LE, 512));

    /* if writing to any other fd, return -EBADF */
    seccomp_rule_add(ctx, SCMP_ACT_ERRNO(EBADF), SCMP_SYS(write), 1,
        SCMP_A0(SCMP_CMP_NE, 1));

    /* load and enforce the filters */
    seccomp_load(ctx);
    seccomp_release(ctx);

    printf("this process is %d\n", getpid());
}

There are a few important things to remember with seccomp:

*

*Calls which are not "true" system calls but rather vDSOs such as gettimeofday() and time() cannot be filtered. For performance, they execute in userspace, avoiding an expensive context switch. However this also prevents seccomp from being aware that they are running. This typically isn't a problem because the only syscalls that can be implemented as a vDSO are typically very simple and expose virtually no attack surface area.

*Prior to Linux 4.8 (?), a whitelisted ptrace() call can be used to escape the sandbox by modifying the registers after the call had been permitted, but before it actually executes. The solution on kernels older than 4.8 is simply to not whitelist that call.

*As syscalls work by passing registers to the kernel, seccomp (and any ptrace-based sandbox) can only filter based on the contents of the registers themselves. This means that arguments which contain pointers to memory, such as the file name provided to open(), cannot be filtered. Seccomp only checks the contents of the registers, and cannot examine memory.

*Filters cannot be revoked or changed once they are in place. If you want to use multiple stages of sandboxing, start out with a more loose policy, and ensure seccomp() (on >= Linux 3.17) and prctl() are whitelisted until the next stage loads, since they are necessary for adding new filters. The second stage sandbox should either whitelist of the same syscalls as the first stage, minus ones you want disabled, or a selective blacklist of the syscalls you want disabled.

Raw pumpkin just didn't sound appetizing to me or to hubby. He wrinkled up his nose when I told him I'd be making raw pumpkin pie. I figured if it was gross, I could always cook it. But, to both of our surprise, this raw pumpkin pie recipe is delicious. Not sure I'll ever cook a pumpkin pie again. Yeah, it's that good.
Place all ingredients into powerful blender and mix until all ingredients are blended into a very smooth and creamy filling. Pour into raw pie crust and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled. Makes one full size pie.

Glimpses of India Summary Class 10 English First Flight
Glimpses of India Part 1 Summary
A Baker From Goa Summary
'A Baker from Goa' is a pen portrait of a traditional Goan village baker who still has an important place in his society. The narrator is travelling through the memory lane thinking about the loaves of bread a baker delivered every morning. The baker, who visited the narrator's place, was like a friend, companion and guide. His visits were always a welcome one. He wore a traditional dress and collected his bills at the end of the month. The ladies in the house used to prepare sandwiches, cakes and bolinhas for different occasions.
Coorg Summary
The writer has depicted the beauty of Coorg which is the smallest district of Karnataka. It attracts many visitors as it is in the lap of nature. This place is more fascinating because of the sweet aroma of a variety of spices. Today this culture is a mixture of Greek or Arab and the local people. Coorgi people are known for their valour and boasts of the most decorated army personnel. It abounds in flora and fauna. The Brahmagiri hills present a panoramic view. The fascinating beauty of Coorg refreshes one's heart and soul.
Tea From Assam Summary
Tea from Assam' is an interesting and informative lesson about tea plantation, its history and its significance. The writer has tried to make it interesting by using a dialogue method. Two young boys Pranjol and Rajvir are going to Assam. Rajvir is excited as he passes through tea gardens and wants to share his knowledge with Pranjol. They talk about various Indian and Chinese legends behind tea. Rajvir tells Pranjol a very interesting story of a Chinese emperor who discovered tea by chance.
He also tells Pranjol another story which is very strange and illogical. This story tells us about the growing up of tea leaves out of the eyelids of a monk. Thus, through these interesting dialogues, the writer has attempted to develop a sense of curiosity among the young readers.


Pipe to Pipe Goalie School was founded by former NCAA goalie and current NCAA coach Kevin Lerg. Kevin grew up in Michigan and began playing goalie in 5th grade. He continued to play goalie through middle school and high school and was named a 2010 US High School All American while helping lead his team to two final four's. After high school, he moved onto compete at NCAA Division III Adrian College. At Adrian, he was a three-time all conference athlete, two-time team captain, and helped lead the Bulldogs to four NCAA tournament appearances. Upon graduation, Kevin took his first coaching opportunity at NCAA Division I program the Virginia Military Institute. At VMI, he worked year round with the Keydet goalies in individual and group sessions as well as practice. After VMI, Kevin was named an Assistant Coach at Division III Hiram College. At Hiram, he worked year round with the Terrier goalies and also worked with Force Lacrosse Club instructing weekly goalie clinics and ran private lessons for local youth-high school boy and girl goalies. Kevin is currently in his second year coaching at Hartwick College, also working with the Hartwick goalies year round. He has continued to teach goalies during winter and summer camps throughout the United States.
GG: What are some attributes and abilities that a youth lacrosse coach should look for in players to recruit as goalies?
KL: There are various attributes and abilities that a coach can look for when trying to find a goalie for their team. Courage is something that most if not all goalies have. It takes courage to step into the cage with little padding and lacrosse balls coming at high speed towards you. Identifying players that have great attention to detail translates well to goalie. It is a position that can be broken down into many different parts. Goalies who can digest and understand all the moving parts give themselves the best chance at success in the cage. Often overlooked, stick skills are important for goalies as well. Too many times I see a goalie make a great save then throw an outlet pass out of bounds or to the other team resulting in playing more defense. Communication and a high level IQ is important as a goalie. As goalies get older, defenses add more moving parts and a goalie has to be the eyes and voice of the defense. Size is an attribute that many coaches may look at. It helps to be bigger but size is not everything when it comes to the position. There are many high level goalies who are average sized. Some bigger goalies lack the quickness that smaller goalies may have. Any goalie at any size can be successful.
GG: Tell us a little about your own path to becoming a goalie?
KL: My start as a goalie began in 5th grade. I got a short stick and all player equipment for tryouts and participated as an attackman during the first day. I did not notice it but we went through the first day without a goalie. At the beginning of the second day of tryouts, our coach brought everyone in and asked if anyone wanted to try goalie for the day. After no hands went up, I raised mine. I remember briefly thinking I did not like running that much on the field and figured if I was the only goalie I would play a lot of games. Without any proper goalie equipment, I grabbed a goalie stick and played goalie the whole tryout. There was some nerves and fear to start but I settled in and continued at the position through college.
GG: Who were the biggest influences for you in developing as a goalie?
KL: When I was growing up lacrosse in Michigan was not very popular. The popular sport in my family was hockey. My cousin Jeff, six years older than me, was an accomplished hockey goalie who has since played professionally in the United States and overseas. He was always someone I looked up to at the goalie position. Attending some of his games, I saw how he would stand in front of pucks moving quickly towards him and how athletic he was moving in the crease. Growing up we did some off ice training together to work on reaction speed and quick hands. My dad was also very involved in helping me develop as goalie. We had a goal in the backyard and he would always take time to shoot on me. My youth coach, John Van Antwerp, was great as well. He played his college lacrosse at UPENN and came back to run our CYO program. He made sure the goalies were given the proper attention at practice in order to improve.
GG: What are your top recommendations for things a goalie can do to develop their skills and abilities on their own? How about recommendations for a high school coach in working with his/her goalies?
KL: There are many skills and attributes that goalies can work on that do not require a coach, parent, or teammate to be present. Footwork is an important aspect of the goalie position that can be developed without wearing any pads or holding a stick. Drills to improve this include jump rope, ladders, hurdles, shuttles, and line jumps. These drills do not take long either. Goalies who can move quickly and under control are most successful. These drills help build leg strength while improving quickness. Wall ball is another area goalies can improve. Use both hands and work on hitting the same spot on the wall consistently. Use proper throwing mechanics while throwing overhand. Throw different types of passes including hard, soft, and arc passes. Hand eye coordination is another area goalies can improve while working by themselves. Juggling, throwing a tennis or racquetball off the wall and catching it are a few drills. For coaches, working with a goalie on their fundamentals is very important. Goalies may have multiple weaknesses. Focusing on improving one weakness first before moving onto another. Be consistent in how the goalies prepare for practice and games. Make sure they are properly warmed up before going into drills. If you find a drill that works, continue doing that drill while adding a variation or two. Allow the goalie to have a voice in what they feel they need to improve on.
GG: How important are on field communication skills in becoming a successful goalie?
KL: On field communication from a goalie is very important. It becomes more important as a goalie grows older. As many people say goalies are a different breed. Some are the loud obnoxious guys while some are quiet and reserved. Personally, I am more of a reserved person but I knew that had to change when I stepped onto the field with my teammates. Doing so gave our defense the best chance to be successful. Goalies who have a high IQ and communicate well can be difference makers without even saving a shot. The best defenses sometimes do not have the best players but they operate very well as a seven man unit with the goalie being the eyes and voice. Communicating in a tone that teammates respect and respond to is what the best goalies do. It is easier said than done. This is something that will take time to develop. Goalies should communicate essential parts of the defense including who is sliding, who is next to slide, what defensive package the team is in, when to slide, check calls, and clearing.
GG: What are your thoughts on the impact that the new NCAA Men's Lacrosse rules, including the shot clock and shortened substitution box, will have on goalie play?
KL: The new rules will be interesting across all NCAA lacrosse. They are designed to increase the pace of play and scoring opportunities. I think goalies will see more action in general. That could be off a turnover or save from the other teams goalie and the ball is coming to your end quickly. Most goalies will probably enjoy this instead of standing in their defensive end for extended periods of time. Goalies will have to be prepared for odd man situations coming at them such as 6v5's or 5v4's. It will be important to communicate effectively to stop transition and force teams to make as many passes as possible while trying to force a poor shot. Clearing will be another new element goalies will have to adjust to. Off a save, goalies who can get the ball out of their stick quickly will beat the 20 second count and not let the opposing team set up in their ride.
GG: You played high school and college lacrosse in Michigan, and are now coaching in New York, so you have plenty of experience with playing in cold weather. What tips do you have for goalies on staying warm and loose in those conditions?
KL: It seems like every year more of the season is played in cold temperatures. The biggest thing for a goalie is being comfortable. You have to be able to move while also staying warm. Some goalies are superstitious and will wear shorts and a t-shirt in 30 degree temperatures. Some will wear sweatpants in 80 degree temperatures. Personally, I would always try to bundle up as much as possible with layers. I would keep the layers thin. Wearing a full sweatshirt was difficult to move in. 3-5 thin long sleeve shirts designed to be worn in cold weather and a pair of sweatpants was comfortable to play in. Another aspect of playing in the cold is losing feeling in your hands. Many games I would have the other goalies on the bench hold a pair of hand warmers. They would use them during the game and then would pass them to me at any timeout, end of quarter, or halftime. Finding something that is comfortable is the first step in playing in cold weather.
GG: Tell us a little about Pipe to Pipe Goalie School, and what participants can expect from your upcoming Albany area clinic.
KL: Pipe to Pipe Goalie School was founded to help boys and girls of all ages improve as goalies. We offer camps, clinics, and private lessons year round. Specifically we focus on developing and improving the basic fundamentals of the goalie position while providing a small learning environment which allows the staff to provide feedback to the goalies. Our events will have very little standing around for goalies aside from teaching points and other instructional opportunities. Goalies will always be involved in a drill whether that is in the cage, passing a ball to a shooter, or working on small drills on the side. Our drills are designed to challenge goalies while allowing them to learn and have fun. Goalies will be split into groups based on age and will receive a Pipe to Pipe Goalie School jersey.

Final Brass Monkey rumours quashed
Shawn McAvinue
Wheels still turning . . . Brass Monkey Rally committee member John Willems, with his 2018 Yamaha Super Tenere, wants to stop speculation next year's event in Oturehua in Central Otago will be the last. PHOTOS: SHAWN MCAVINUE
Rumours next year's Brass Monkey Rally will be the last are just that – rumours – a rally committee member says.
Rally committee member John Willems, of Dunedin, said the annual rally in Oturehua, Central Otago originated after a group he was in travelled on motorbikes to the Cold Kiwi Rally in Waiouru more than 40 years ago.
Crossing the Cook Strait on the trip back to Dunedin, the group discussed holding a similar event in Otago.
A 6ha rally site on a farm in Oturehua was chosen because it was near Ophir, the coldest place in New Zealand.
About a year later, the Otago Motorcycle Club held the inaugural rally.
About 300 people attended, transforming a farm block into a "tent city", where a "huge bonfire" roared and a band played.
Each year, the attendance rate grew, peaking at 5000 people at the 10th event.
The people made the rally, he said.
"People are there for a good time and it's great to see them."
About 950 patrons attended the 39th rally earlier this month.
A reason for the smaller crowd was three unwarranted and unregistered riders being involved in separate accidents on the Dunstan Trail in 2017.
Consequently, for the past two events the committee decided to stop running an escort along the trail from Poolburn to Idaburn Dam for riders on bikes which were not road legal.
After the accidents, police had checkpoints on the trail.
The club had a good working relationship with police.
"Bikes needed to be road legal and that lowered the numbers down for us . . . The people just didn't come."
Other reasons for fewer people attending the event this year included bad weather in Dunedin and other events being held in the city, such as the University of Otago's 150th anniversary celebrations, he said.
The 40th rally would definitely go ahead next year and a large fireworks display was "on the cards".
"The club has not made the decision the 40th would be the last."
A decision on whether a rally would be held in 2021 would be made at a club meeting at the end of this year, then an official announcement would be made.
The 12 people on the committee were volunteers.
Holding the rally was getting harder, including finding volunteers.
"We are finding it difficult to recruit younger riders."

The use of time series analysis in real estate related data analysis and forecasting is not yet prevalent in Germany. Potential reasons are insufficient data, high fragmentation of the markets, and a practitioner-driven preference of qualitative forecasts. Deviations from the mainstream are dominated by standard linear regression techniques, which suffer from strong assumptions such as linearity and parameter constancy. A powerful alternative is offered by the Structural Time Series Analysis approach (STSA), that describes the components of time series in a clear and unambiguous manner and pursues a straightforward approach to forecasting. Furthermore it allows to explicitly include cyclical components, which are known to be a common feature of real estate time series. And while the mathematics involved in the estimation process are complex, the use of a software tool called STAMP (Structural Time Series Modeler and Predictor) renders this method applicable also for statistically trained practitioners. In this article a closer look is taken at the advantages and disadvantages in comparison to other dynamic modeling approaches, making use of a practical example with rent data of the Frankfurt office market.

Branding & Graphic Design | Maha I Design
Chasing Zest Branding
Work done: Logo Design, Brand Identity, Business Card, Flyers, Roll Up
Chasing Zest is an inspirational website that was founded by Rachael Bruford in June 2017. This online magazine publishes articles about the outdoors, fitness, travel, nutrition, and wellness, and aims to create a community of like-minded individuals who can help one another and share experiences. Chasing Zest aims to inspire an active, outdoor lifestyle in the Middle East & beyond.
We wanted to create an energetic brand that would inspire its readers to lead a more active lifestyle. The United Arab Emirates' natural landscape inspired the use of blues and orange, while the font embodies the energy of the brand. A secondary logo includes an animated figure comprising of the initials 'C' and 'Z'. Textures of sand, as well as an arabesque design, add to the brand aesthetic.
It goes without saying that the past 2 years have
10 years. I landed in the UAE 10 years ago yesterd
Wishing you all Eid Al-Adha Mubarak! (Watercolour
As somebody who knows nothing about graphic design, I decided to make use of Maha's services for Chasing Zest. Communication was always swift and easy, from the initial mood board stage right up to the delivery of files. Maha seemed to know exactly what I wanted and came up with a range of options for me to choose from. It turned out to be a hard choice, as I loved them all! Any amendments were done quickly, and Maha's knowledge of which colours worked together was invaluable. I have had nothing but positive feedback from readers and clients, and really wish I had such a talent! I later had some marketing collateral, such as flyers, a roll up and a gazebo produced, all of which Maha assisted with to ensure the printing was top quality. I look forward to working with Maha in the future!

Q: How to make a button appear only when input is focused here is my HTML:
<template>

      ID
      <input
        id="id"
        v-model="id"
        type="text"
        readonly
      >
        <button
          type="button"
          @click="doCopy"
        >

        </button>

</template>

Here is my CSS:

I want something that will only display button when the input is focused, tried a number of approaches like trying to call the button from within. input:focus but the IDE complains of this. Trying to pair input:focus + button  but that is also not working so not sure how to chain both together :(
Any pointers would be great.

A: You can use the CSS adjacent sibling selector (+) to accomplish this:
   input:focus + button

to select a button that comes immediately after an input:focus element.

input {
  margin-left: 2px;
  border: none;
}

input:focus {
  border: 1px solid #21abd4;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

input:focus + button {
  visibility: visible;
}

button {
  visibility: hidden;
  border: none;
  background: none;
}

    ID
    <input id="id" type="text" readonly />
    <button type="button" @click="doCopy">
      Copy
    </button>

That said, there would also be ways in Vue to update a shared state, and set the visibility of the button based on the state of the input.

A: This can be done fairly easily with jQuery:

$("input").focus(function() {
  $("button").css("visibility", "visible");
});

$("input").focusout(function() {
  $("button").css("visibility", "hidden");
});
button {
    visibility: hidden;
}

<input type="text"/><button>Submit</button>

Senate Hearings for Supreme Court Pick to Begin March 20
The Associated PressFeb 16th, 2017, 10:33 am
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Judiciary Committee will begin confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch on March 20.
That's the word from Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who made the announcement Thursday after consulting with the panel's top Democrat, Dianne Feinstein.
Grassley says he expects the hearings to last three to four days. The first day will have opening statements by committee members and the federal judge tapped for the high court vacancy.
Questioning of Gorsuch will begin March 21.
Gorsuch has been paying courtesy calls on senators for the past few weeks.
The vacancy happened more than a year ago when Justice Antonin Scalia died. Republicans refused to consider former President Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, insisting the voters should have a say.

Q: replacing string in python I have the following sequences in C code:
variable == T_CONSTANT

or
variable != T_CONSTANT

Using Python, how can I replace these by SOME_MACRO(variable) or !SOME_MACRO(variable), respectively?

A: A very simple and error-prone method is to use regular expressions:
>>> s = "a == T_CONSTANT"
>>> import re
>>> re.sub(r"(\w+)\s*==\s*T_CONSTANT", r"SOME_MACRO(\1)", s)
'SOME_MACRO(a)'

A similar regex can be used for the != part.

A: OK, I know you've already accepted the other answer. However, I just couldn't help but throw this out because your problem is one that often comes up and regular expressions may not always be suitable.
This chunk of code defines a tiny limited non-recursive Parsing Expression Grammar which allows you to describe what you're searching for in terms of a series of compiled regular expressions, alternatives (tuples of different matching strings) and plain strings. This format can be more convenient than a regular expression for a computer language because it looks similar to the formal specifications of the language's syntax. Basically, [varname, ("==", "!="), "T_CONSTANT"] describes what you're looking for, and the action() function describes what you want to do when you find it.
I've included a corpus of example "C" code to demonstrate the parser.
import re

# The @match()@ function takes a parsing specification and a list of
# words and tries to match them together. It will accept compiled
# regular expressions, lists of strings or plain strings.

__matcher = re.compile("x") # Dummy for testing spec elements.
def match(spec, words):
    if len(spec) > len(words): return False

    for i in range(len(spec)):
        if   type(__matcher) is type(spec[i]):
            if not spec[i].match(words[i]): return False
        elif type(()) is type(spec[i]):
            if words[i] not in spec[i]: return False
        else:
            if words[i] != spec[i]: return False

    return True

# @parse()@ takes a parsing specification, an action to execute if the
# spec matches and the text to parse. There can be multiple matches in
# the text. It splits and rejoins on spaces. A better tokenisation
# method is left to the reader...

def parse(spec, action, text):
    words = text.strip().split()

    n = len(spec)
    out = []
    while(words):
        if match(spec, words[:n+1]): out.append(action(words[:n+1])); words = words[n:]
        else: out.append(words[0]); words = words[1:]

    return " ".join(out)

# This code is only executed if this file is run standalone (so you
# can use the above as a library module...)

if "__main__" == __name__:
    # This is a chunk of bogus C code to demonstrate the parser with:

    corpus = """\
/* This is a dummy. */
variable == T_CONSTANT
variable != T_CONSTANT
/* Prefix! */ variable != T_CONSTANT
variable == T_CONSTANT /* This is a test. */
variable != T_CONSTANT ; variable == T_CONSTANT /* Note contrived placement of semi. */
x = 9 + g;
"""

    # This compiled regular expression defines a legal C/++ variable
    # name. Note "^" and "$" guards to make sure the full token is matched.
    varname = re.compile("^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$")

    # This is the parsing spec, which describes the kind of expression
    # we're searching for.
    spec = [varname, ("==", "!="), "T_CONSTANT"]

    # The @action()@ function describes what to do when we have a match.
    def action(words):
        if "!=" == words[1]: return "!SOME_MACRO(%s)" % words[0]
        else:                return "SOME_MACRO(%s)"  % words[0]

    # Process the corpus line by line, applying the parser to each line.
    for line in corpus.split("\n"): print parse(spec, action, line)

Here's the result if you run it:
/* This is a dummy. */
SOME_MACRO(variable)
!SOME_MACRO(variable)
/* Prefix! */ !SOME_MACRO(variable)
SOME_MACRO(variable) /* This is a test. */
!SOME_MACRO(variable) ; SOME_MACRO(variable) /* Note contrived placement of semi. */
x = 9 + g;

Oh well, I had fun! ; - )
