Q: How to make intellij import scala project with scala 2.11.7 (as per build.sbt)? I'm having problems with my project which I think are due to intellij pulling in a load of scala 2.10 libraries when it created/if I reimport my project.
How can I configure it to either read the version of scala from build.sbt, or manually configure it to compile with scala 2.11.7? I'm running intellij IDEA 14 with the latest updates and it always uses scala 2.10.4.

A: Make sure you have your Scala Version set in your build.sbt
scalaVersion := "2.11.7"

The rest works seemlessly. Enable "Auto-Import" in IDEA when creating the project.

A: The 2.10 libraries are used by SBT itself. If you check the Dependencies tab for your modules, you shouldn't see them. If you do, you likely have an error in libraryDependencies in build.sbt.

Abstract In current research, most tree-based translation models are built directly from parse trees. In this study, we go in another direction and build a translation model with an unsupervised tree structure derived from a novel non-parametric Bayesian model. In the model, we utilize synchronous tree substitution grammars (STSG) to capture the bilingual mapping between language pairs. To train the model efficiently, we develop a Gibbs sampler with three novel Gibbs operators. The sampler is capable of exploring the infinite space of tree structures by performing local changes on the tree nodes. Experimental results show that the string-to-tree translation system using our Bayesian tree structures significantly outperforms the strong baseline string-to-tree system using parse trees.

Q: How to read Protocol Buffers delimited I/O functions I'm trying to read files that contain length-delimited Protocol buffer messages, each record is a varint specifying the length of the message, followed by the protobuf message itself.
But there's no way to do that by default (that I could see).
I use google/protobuf 3.6.1 library
However, the Java API in version 2.1.0 received a set of "Delimited" I/O functions which apparently do that job:
parseDelimitedFrom
mergeDelimitedFrom
Are there PHP equivalents? so I can parse those messages in PHP?
No i receive this error when use the mergeFromString method
"Error occurred during parsing: Unexpected wire type."

A: I haven't tested, but based on source this might work:
 $data = /* Length-prefixed protobuf data in string */;
 $input = new CodedInputStream($data);

 /* Read length prefix */
 $length = 0;
 $input->readVarint32($length);

 /* Limit the stream so that only $length bytes get parsed */
 $input->pushLimit($length);

 /* Parse the message */
 $msg = new MyMessage();
 $msg->parseFromStream($input);


The opening of this web page in the second half of the 21st century in Serbia marks the beginning of discussing the 3D vision and city construction place and role of the landscape architecture, as a scientific professional discipline that used to be formed and developed through social-cultural, architectural-urban history of various epochs and civilizations. For a long time, these facts have been continuously shaping this program-based landscape-architectural-urbanistic institute of scientific – professional work, as well as a special discourse with its subgroups, already having direct influence on their identity and on a qualitative different analysis of landscape architecture specificities, that actually defines the subject and goal of its activities in the form of studying, planning, design and building 3D structure, objects and artifacts of landscape architecture, culture, construction, art and cultural-park heritage.
This unique, new scientific and prospectful 3D concept, oriented toward landscape architecture mission, and its precisely defined avant-garde approach and the program for exploring its physical (3D) structures, objects and artifacts, is the only accredited concept realized through the academic subject Landscape Architecture at a scientific-research organization of higher education at the University UNION - NIKOLA TESLA, Department of Architecture and Urbanism, Belgrade, 62-64 Cara Dusana Street.
Actually, it is about the contemporary need to acquire Bachelor, Master and PhD skills, to promote creative and artistic aspirations and achievements in the field of landscape architecture through gathering information and learning about development of the original garden or park architecture, then modern and sustainable 3D landscape architecture, culture, art and cultural – park heritage.
Regarding the above mentioned facts, the understanding of basic knowledge needed to spot the difference between the previous virtual, speculative, outdated and popular 2D or quasi-terminology is promoted together with the awareness of architectural-urbanistic and landscape –architectural 3D terminology that is inevitable for understanding eco-urban reciprocity and implementation of the same detail-level in the process of urban design of high, law and landscape built physical (3D) structures. Also, when it comes to urban residence, it is all closely related to recognizing and understanding essential differences between the planned, designed and built landscape-urban structures, artifacts and properties where urban processes are dominant, and natural resources where natural processes are dominant, especially today when it is known that environmental habitat lacks 'pure' natural properties where natural resources are prevailing.
This modern scientific-professional institute, methods and study discourse as well as the articulation of landscape-architecture, culture, art and cultural-park heritage, reaching the end of Modern and somewhat ossified Post-modern architecture, that is – after representative effects and achievements during the baroque, classicist and eclectic phase, a modern 3D education in that field is being promoted and implemented at the University UNION NIKOLA TESLA in Belgrade.
In comparison to other institutions of higher education in Serbia and its surroundings, as well as their outdated and unsustainable 2D educational programs in the field of landscape-architecture and eco-urban design, the new 3D skills and knowledge are being acquired – the knowledge of the planned, designed, built, artistically shaped, sophistically cultivated and designed landscape-urban structures and their artistic, architectural and recognizable landscape-architectural-urbanistic entities, objects, artifacts and forms as a new and sustainable 3D system that is a logical connection to landscape systems within direct urban environments.
This is the moment of implementing and promoting the skills and knowledge that would be useful for both current and future generations of the students of this avant-garde University. They are provided with the possibility to distinguish landscape-urban objects and artifacts from the processes that are planned, designed, built, unlike natural resources and processes that are never planned, designed or built, being a part of natural (God) creation. Also, there is an evident need to have such planning and zoning documents that respect the same detail level and eco-reciprocity between high, low and landscape built structures. The planned, designed and built objects of landscape architecture are not free, undeveloped areas or 2D surfaces, but the pivots of sustainable urban-environmental continuity.
Therefore, in comparison to current unsustainable, quasi-professional and virtual 2D approach, treatment, interpretation and implementation of virtual or 2D antisystem of the so-called green spaces and greenery, unsustainable implementation of pseudo-urban, virtual and speculative 2D 'patents' and 2D terminology, and after too many mistakes made during the 20th and 21st century in relation to city planning through virtual or 2D images and visions of urban plans without sustainable detail level and eco-reciprocity between high, low and landscape built structures, as well as the consequential multiplication of negative ecological heritage, we were finally led to a real 'turning point', in the first decade of the 21st century.
Several decades of research have convinced the enthusiastic researchers in the validity of scientific hypothesis, analyses and synthesis. Therefore, together with the author of this text, they designed and created a 3D vision of this educational institution and discourse. Now, it is possible to promote and implement the only real, redesigned, sustainable, motivational and avant-garde 3D approach and discourse in the study of landscape architecture. Certainly, it is different from out-dated and unsustainable higher-education 2D programs and such (2D) educational versions at various faculties of architecture and urbanism as well as other faculties where the study of landscape architecture is included in the guise of horticulture. The mentioned facts have proved the sustainable arguments of the foreword of this study. Also, other explanations and statements follow and are included in the scientific-research papers of this web site.
Thus, the outdated 2D programs and education cannot be compared to this integrative and modern 3D concept and program of the landscape architecture, because the previous unsustainable 2D doctrines, hidden in the study of horticulture within the landscape architecture at various faculties in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis, Kragujevac as well as the faculties of architecture and urbanism during the 20th and 21st century, have been providing one-dimensional horticulturization and ecologization of the landscape architecture as well as its quasi-scientific stultifying through speculative 2D patents and unsustainable 2D terminology, where 2D is equal to or the same as 3D and vice versa.
This is how '2D-isms', slogans and 'patents' of urban and spatial design, as well as a quasi-scientific and meta-language and metaphorical meanings and interpretations of conceptual 3D landscape-architectural forms and familiar structures and artifacts of parks, promenades, alleys, gardens and other objects of landscape architecture, is defined and reduced to 2D virtual and so-called green space. In other words, they are presented as equal to speculative or temporary 2D voids that never have a physical 3D building personality, which leads to their purpose-change, which means that invasion of capital hegemony, powerful investors and dominant corporatocratic urbanism as well as corrupted individuals makes them the most appropriate, attractive and exclusive construction lots (sites) for pseudo-urbanization ( Shopping mall Usce in New Belgrade and various other shopping malls in Belgrade and its surroundings.
This is about 2D green space that is not and cannot be creative 3D objects, structures and artifacts of parks and other landscape-built physical units of landscape architecture. They neither possess their own architectural-urban, creative and artistic identity, nor their own 3D personality, which leads to the conclusion that they do not have architectural-urbanistic legality.
Such forms of 2D speculations in realtion to urban planning documents mislead the users or urban-environmental residence, providing them with incorrect information that the so-called green space will become the place meant for parks, alleys, gardens, promenades or other 3D landscape-urban structures, objects or artifacts.
That is why the 2D landscape architects use their knowledge of horticulture in order to 'arrange' these areas in accordance with the principles of horticulture planting plan and the so-called greening without any form of creativity. This is the key to their temporality and impermanence, that is – 3D undeveloped structures. It leads to a speculative interpretation and redesigned purpose seen as the so-called free space or 2D surface for the future pseudo-urbanization. This proves that 2D landscape architects, designers and urbanists found themselves trapped in their own unsustainable 2D patent (2D = 3D and vice versa). They did it either on purpose, led by some interests, or unwillingly because of being misled.
In this case, the only bridge between an unsustainable 2D green surface and 3D sustainable park structure is a speculative interest when needed. Then, there is a new result, since 2D green space is not a 3D park structure, but a free and undeveloped space. It is obvious that a 2D green space, the free and undeveloped surface (read: described in and urban-planning document as a non-existing park or other 3D structure of landscape architecture) is gradually becoming an exclusive place for pseudo-urbanization, through the process of purpose change and 2D terminology.
So, on the basis of such unsustainable 2D education, everybody is aware of an extended and varying metaphor of 'green space'. Also, 2D landscape architectures, urbanists and designers apply the horticulture knowledge of the landscape architecture since they ostensibly know how to design a so-called green space - unsustainable 2D space. When we say ochre, brown or red surface, nobody knows what an extensible metaphor of any of the listed 2D units is, and nobody knows how to design any of them in the form of a physical 3D structure.
Such unsustainable 2D quasi-knowledge of the landscape structures and artifacts are not applicable to high and low –built structures, because no one knows what the extensible metaphor of 2D construction or traffic area is, which means that not even 2D or 3D designers know how to design them, in the same way as these designers apply their quasi-professional knowledge in order to design 2D of the so-called green space making it a 3D physical structure. It clearly shows that, as long as there is not a single design plan for 3D high, low and landscape structures and artifacts, there cannot be a project for any of them. It means that where there is no project for any of the known or given landscape, high or low built physical structures, then there is no construction of 3D objects.
Never have the 3D constructors designed and built the so-called green space, some green-colored or unpainted plain surface, because they regard such surface to have either horizontal or vertical function. Therefore, the architectural-urbanistic history did not have distinguished constructors and builders of 'green space', but did have famous designers and constructors of physical structures of parks, gardens, subgardens, squares and so on.
It is not unknown that the proportions of 3D structures define the constructive points and plain surface and that the space is divided and the space border is a plain. It implies that the surface in conjunction with a constructive system is meant to form a specific or defined in construction terms a physical (3D) composition or a high, low and landscape built structure or artifact, as well as a relevant measurement unit for physical parts or units with or without a constructive system.
As for the space surfaces, they are distinguished by colors and measurability. Among other things, painted and unpainted surfaces are present in various architectural-urbanistic complexes or physical structures in and out of settlements. However, in terms of measurability, the surfaces can be applied in an exact and specific way to quantifying the proportions of the objects' parts or their physical units.
In that way, 2D surfaces are not to be planned, designed or built because they are not 3D structures. Or in other words, 3D landscape – architectural project for parks, gardens, squares, promenades, microambients and so on, cannot be quasi-scientifically seen as 2D horticulture planting plan and the so-called greening. In the same way, 2D horticulture planting plan of vegetative elements and the so-called greening offering everything and nothing at all, cannot be regarded as the Master plan for any 3D object of landscape architecture.
That very 2D quasi-professional possibility of building the landscape architecture structures on the basis of 2D horticulture planting plan of the vegetative elements and the so-called greening, that is, the so-called projects offering everything and nothing, is unsustainably regulated in the actual 2D legal regulations of Serbia. In accordance with the earlier and current absurd Law on planning and construction (72/2009), it is not necessary to make any preliminary or master projects for the landscape architecture structures.
In relation to 2D quasi-scientific terminology, the same Law does not recognize 3D structures, objects or artifacts of the landscape architecture, culture or cultural-park heritage, in spite of their obvious presence in the built environment. Since that same Law applies 3D terminology in case of high and low built structures, these structures are recognizable and present. Thus, the whole situation led to creating quasi-scientific and unsustainable 2D titles for urban, design and construction licenses of the Chamber of Engineers of Serbia.
What is landscape (park or garden) architecture?
It is a planning, design, construction, city-construction, artistic and eco-urban discipline. Its landscape-architectural or landscape-urban or park-construction or park-garden discipline is based on scientific, theoretical, pragmatic and sustainable 3D planning and construction principles. Various historical epochs and civilizations and their architectural-urban phases of rise, fall and development, provide the insight into landscape architecture and its antique, medieval, Renaissance, baroque, modern and postmodern achievements, aspirations, efforts and accomplishments, as well as social-cultural and traditional landscape-architectural, spatial-urban and ecologically sustainable processes of its development.
Its discipline and artifacts have participated in the process of design, construction and cultivation of urban environmental residence as well as in the process of protecting and preserving environmental habitat and landscape-scenery units and values.
Although this context reveals that landscape-architecture, culture, art and culture-park heritage has been primordially tied to architectural-urban history, ever since the antique period. Therefore, landscape architecture was created when people were not even aware of ecology problems, and when ecology did not even exist as a scientific discipline.
It means that landscape architecture was created by completely different human needs and motivation. Therefore, it was created as a city-construction discipline and is much older than ecology, which does not mean that its ecology dimension is disputable today. On the contrary, it is not; but its landscape–urban structures do not have only one one-sided ecological role and significance within city-construction. In other words – the landscape architecture is not the ecology discipline, since ecology did not appear until the second half of the 19th century. So, it could be said that the landscape architecture somehow contributed to ecology beginnings; ecology is younger discipline and less related to beneficial effects, spiritual-creative, eco-creative and environmental influence of urban-landscape structures, objects or artifacts within urban-environmental residence.
What is the landscape architecture function and activity?
Before defining the activity and objectives of the landscape architecture, it should be said that the earlier dominance of quasi-scientific 2D theories, practice, legal regulations and terminology, previous higher-education institutions have provided quasi-scientific skills and knowledge about virtual and unsustainable 2D green space, 2D green-stained antisystem of the so-called green and free surface or a 2D antisystem of the so-called greenery, then 2D antisystem of the so-called open or undeveloped surface or space. It led to unsustainable urban-environmental discontinuity, deregulation, degradation and deconstruction of the inherited or newly created urban substance.
In that way, the virtual but completely false and unreal image as well as unfounded study and interpretation of the original basis of scientific activity and objectives of the landscape architecture was created. Such distorted and unsustainable ideas about landscape architecture, creative works, culture, art and culture-park heritage under the guise of horticulture have been offered to the young for decades. That is why they do not know that the landscape architecture does not deal with planning, design, studying and preserving 2D so-called greenery systems, the so-called green space, the so-called city greening, and so on.
This explains why '2D educated generations' have been writing virtual treatise about 2D so–called greenery and green space, keeping them 'raised', which leads to the question 'when did they drop?' Also, due to acquiring such 2D knowledge and skills during the educational university years at various Serbian faculties in the second half of the 20th and early 21st century, the peak of their high-education knowledge is the suppression of the third dimension, or in other words – unsustainable learning and interpretation implying that 3D park structure or some other structure or artifact of the landscape architecture is described as 2D green space. It means that there is no difference between 2D and 3D, which led to the conclusion saying that 'green space' is the surface where the plants grow. Knowing such 2D 'green discovery' we can ask what is about the sidewalks downtown Sarajevo – they were painted in green oil in 2008? Is this another example of 2D 'green space' although there is not a single plant there?
Also, all other known structures of landscape architecture use the guise of horticulture in order to be defined as 2D so-called green space, which is obvious in the 'Green Regulation of Belgrade' passed in 2003, the book 'The Greenery of Belgrade', published in 2006, the textbook 'Landscape Architecture – planning and design', published in 2003, and other similar publications with 2D terminology that are harmful and detrimental for the theory of landscape architecture as well as for planning, design, construction and preservation of 3D structures and artifacts of landscape architecture construction, creative works, culture, art and culture-park heritage. Such synthesized 2D education initiated a law regulation in relation to unsustainable 2D or quasi terminology, and in accordance with previous laws and current Law on planning and construction parks and other 3D landscape architecture structures, no preliminary or master plan is needed, and the process of construction is based only on horticulture design without planning or construction creativity.
Actually, this is clear evidence that the so-called 2D landscape architects as well as other 2D profile designers and urban planners do not recognize the need for 3D structures and artifacts of the landscape architecture construction, culture, art and culture-park heritage, but only applies high and low built 3D structures, objects and artifacts and unsustainable 2D so-called green space – and in order to carry out such green space plan only one horticulture plan or draft of planting and greening is needed.
This illustration of devastating facts and quasi-knowledge and earlier 2D landscape architecture marginalization and its landscape-architectural achievements, systems and artifacts under the guise of horticulture, reveals that these problems and piled negative ecology heritage cannot be solved by applying the same methods and approaches that had created them. Therefore, it was neccessary for the professional and scientific staff to gather around the author of this text, at the First Institutte of Landscape-architectural-urbanistic construction of Serbia (PIPAUGS), in order to finally initiate and implement the redefined and the only sustainable 3D vision and academic education, the one that had already been implemented at the University UNION NIKOLA TESLA and led to the turning point and transformation in that field. Thus, there is a new chance for 3D educational vision meant to realize scientific-professional goals and accomplishments.
This clearly shows that the landscape architecture deals with the already realized and promoted concept of planning, designing, construction, preservence, restoration, protection, revitalization, researching, studying the structures, objects and artifacts, just like it was created before and during the time of Le Notre.
Perceived in this way, the decades-long problems, the landscape architecture has been dealing with, clearly show that the main objective of this scientific-professional discipline is to contribute to development of modern planning, design, construction, maintenance, documentation, protection, renovation, revitalization and analyzing 3D structures or units and artifacts.
So, the landscape architecture is not some plants arranging in interiors or exteriors (the so–called greening), although it used to be unsustainably under the guise of horticulture as well as the earlier 2D methods of urban and spatial planning based on 2D quasi-knowledge about the landscape architecture, culture, art and culture-park heritage, and inexplicably accredited programs of sustainable 2D education at the universities in Serbia and its environment.
Also, due to the promotion of 3D or modern integral design created in the end of the 20th and early 21st century, a scientific approach saying that structures and artifacts of the landscape architecture are not the places and space for the so-called greening, but the place where the landscape architecture is to be applied – planning, designing, shaping, construction, forming a scenery, park-urban artifacts, structures, units, forms and ambiences.
The above-written context clearly shows that 3D vision of the landscape architecture initiates, includes and interprets a scientific-expert assessment and analysis, learning, studying, monitoring and synthesizing the aspirations, efforts, achievements and sustainable development of the landscape architecture, culture, art and cultural-park heritage. It is also evident that such 3D vision enables its construction-urban, spatial-landscape, style and artistic, socio-cultural and eco-enlightening sustainability and recognizable traits. Nothing but a 3D vision is able to present a pragmatic implementation of scientific methods meant to carry out a scientific-professional research, synthesizing and presenting the forms of landscape architecture development. Finally, it is the way to establish a culture, urban and architectural dimension in relation to the principles of sustainable eco-reciprocity between high and low built landscape physical structures, as well as aesthetic, decorative, ecological and sustainable environmental habitats and their local and global scenery-landscape values.
Such significance of the landscape architecture indicates its planning, design, construction, eco-urban and architectural role and activity, and in relation to aesthetic, artistic, design, professional, architectural, eco-environmental living aspects it has a continual and traditionally important architectural, integrative, compatible and complementary role in creating, cultivating and articulation a sustainable life quality and quality of local communities development in each urban-environmental residence.
Objects, structures and artifacts of the landscape architecture are designed as physical units (3D) that are defined, formed and built by implementing a very important, integrative and compatible organic and inorganic building material. This architectural and design combination of organic and inorganic material in the construction process of building the landscape architecture structures, explicitly indicates an important difference, specific characteristics, scene features, ambiental and complex functional attractiveness of them, especially in comparison to all other oversized high and low built structures in architectural, urban and landscape memory, geography and scenery.
It is obvious that the artifacts of landscape architecture present the work of primordial man who skillfully formed and refined his own residence and habitat throughout architectural-urban history. It is about the creative work of an anonymous author or constructor, about an urban spatial, landscape unit or ambient shaped in artistic, stylish and designed way. Certainly, in indicates indivisibility of relationships between men and built (cultivated or urban) and inherited landscape, and also causal connection between city-construction and landscape architecture as well as design, planning and building high and low built architectural and landscape-architectural, park-urban or garden-park realized projects.
All this clearly indicate that 3D structures and artifacts of landscape architecture continuously take part in planning, designing and sustainable construction, urbanization and development of cities and settlements throughout construction-urban history, and not the 2D so-called green-painted or unpainted surface.

2016 Jersey Range - Revealed!
Mon 9 Nov 2015, 02:04 PM
The North Queensland Toyota Cowboys' National Rugby League Premiership defence will be carried out in fine style with the launch today of its 2016 jersey range.
The launch of the five jerseys – home and away strips, Indigenous Round, Women in League Round, and a kit for the Auckland Nines tournament in February – are available for pre-order now through the Cowboys Team Shop.
All jerseys will proudly display the club's new sleeve sponsor, The Ville Resort-Casino, with the hotel-casino entertainment resort and complex signing a three-year deal with the club.
Cowboys General Manager – Commercial Steve Mitchell said having The Ville on board for the 2016 season and beyond was a perfect fit given both entities produce first-class entertainment.
"The Ville's logo will be proudly displayed on this fantastic-looking range of jerseys which I'm certain the players will enjoy wearing as they go about defending their NRL premiership, while our valued members and supporters will, I believe, be excited by our new kit," he said.
"The designs have been well thought out and feature core team colours, with a nod to the past. Our Indigenous Round jersey is just stunning and we can't thank Torres Strait artist Sharon Phineasa enough for her bold, creative design."
The Ville CEO Brad Morgan said the three-year sleeve sponsorship deal was a perfect opportunity for the rebranded hotel and casino complex to establish a highly visible presence in the North Queensland sports and entertainment landscape.
"As 2016 heralds new beginnings for The Ville Resort-Casino signalled by our change of name, extensive redevelopment plans and our 30th birthday, it seems especially fitting to elevate our lengthy relationship with the North Queensland Cowboys to a new level," he said.
"We are immensely proud to have committed to a long term sponsorship of the sleeve – we hope to see those sleeves raised once again to hold the Premiership Grand Final Trophy in coming seasons."
Features of the 2016 jersey range include:
Having grey the predominate colour on the away strip in a nod to the "blue and grey" team colours as referenced in the lyrics of Lee Kernaghan's C'mon The Cowboys song;
Heritage-style stripes on the home-and-away kits as a tribute to the 20-year anniversary jersey proudly worn by the team during its watershed premiership campaign in 2015;
Purple as the predominate colour for the Women in League Round as a point of difference from the traditional pink jerseys used to mark this important occasion;"
An eye-popping Indigenous Round jersey, the design of which by Mrs Phineasa features striking colours and tropical themes.
Mrs Phineasa is a descendant of the Ait-Koedal (Crocodile) and Dhoeybaw (Wild Yam) clans of Saibai and Dauan Islands in the top-western Toress Straits, and gets the inspiration from her work from the Kulba Adithil ("old stories") of myths and legends passed down through successive generations of tribal elders.
In describing the inspiration for her designs – which reflect strongly on the Cowboys' battle for success in the NRL - she says: "Warriors would evoke the strength of their ancestors to give them power over their adversaries and ensure victory. Once endowed with this spiritual strength, warriors became invincible. The adornment of ceremonial war paint and markings was to strike fear in their rivals. The markings were also acknowledgement of their clans and totems that set them apart in battle."
The full range of jersey will be available by the end of the week at: Cowboys' Team Shop, Cowboys Leagues Club, Flinders St, Townsville; and online now for pre-orders at www.cowboysteamshop.com.au

I have decided to make my bedroom all in black with spashes of color. I want to make a quilt to hang behind my headboard. I want it to be mostly black with spashes of very colorful material. I want the color to really leap out at you. My problems is I can't find a pattern that will do this. Can anyone help me?
Hi labianchi, welcome to Sew Whats New.
I recently bought fabric from www.equilter.com from the Laurel Burch collection. It is extremely colourful with black backgrounds.
I guess I wasn't real clear. I want to use mostly black fabric. I want a pattern that will look good in black with using different splashy colors in the pattern that makes the splashy colors stick out. Maybe like an amish quilt pattern? I just need to find the pattern. I have the material already. Does that make sense?
If you put your blocks on point it might look nice too.
I think any and all of their designs would look great in black and brights.
Jo, I got this panel.
Woah, that is bright. I like it though.
also on the quilterscache site look at the laced star pattern that could jump out at you.
Thank you all for your help. I love all the info I got! And www.quilterscache.com is GREAT!! I really appreciate all your responses!
Mary, are you using the Laurl Burch for applique or piecing?? My honey loves that womans work and she has been beating on me to use some of her material in a quilt. Just can't decide which is the best way to go. I saw the article in Quilters Newletter about her. It was interesting.

W-D Technology > Computer > Windows 10: Don't know what's in a new update? You will now, says Microsoft
Windows 10: Don't know what's in a new update? You will now, says Microsoft
August 14, 2020 MarryComputer
Microsoft has admitted that it has done a poor job of explaining new features to users in its biannual Windows 10 feature updates. So it's now releasing a new iOS-like Tips app to make it easier for users to learn more about the new features in an update.
The new Tips app should help the one billion people who are actively using a Windows 10 device, many of whom aren't keeping abreast of the latest features being tested in the Windows Insider program, or highlighted through Microsoft blogs and tech news reports.
"We know that it doesn't always feel clear what changed with a major update, or even how you can learn about and try out new features and improvements. This means that updates can feel time-consuming without real benefit to you, and we want to change that," said Brandon LeBlanc, a senior program manager on the Windows Insider Program.
The new "post-update experience" is currently being rolled out to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel on the Windows 10 preview Build 20190. It follows the release of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, a.k.a. version 2004, which contains relatively few feature changes as Microsoft attempts to stabilise its feature updates to cater for enterprise customers and consumers.
The Tips app will highlight all the major changes in the next feature update after that update is installed. People with this preview build will see a new Tips app that shows "some of the most recent new features from the latest Insider Preview builds in the Dev Channel".
Windows 10 Insider users need to check the 'Show me the Windows welcome experience' checkbox in Settings > System > Notifications & actions. At the moment, it's available for users in the US, UK, Australia, India and Canada.
The latest preview of Windows 10 also tweaks the Graphics Settings page to allow users to pick a default high-performance GPU. On systems with multiple GPUs, users can pick a specific GPU based on the application.
This can be done via Settings > System > Display > Graphics settings, or Settings > Gaming > Graphics settings. The next time a user opens a program that asks for a high-performance GPU, that's the one that will be employed for the task.
Separately, Microsoft is improving the information available about optional updates. Microsoft recently made changes to its optional updates, which were released in the third and fourth week of every month. These updates aren't installed automatically and were referred to as 'C' and 'D' week releases, but are now called 'Preview' releases.
Along with the August Patch Tuesday security update, Microsoft updated its Settings page to show more information about these optional updates, which often fix bugs but aren't forced on users until the security update rolls out.
Now users can go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View optional updates, to see what optional updates are available. This should help them avoid using Device Manager to see whether there are update drivers for specific devices, according to Microsoft.
The timing of this new Settings feature is no accident. Microsoft's last optional update for Windows 10 version 2004 contained fixes that partially addressed compatibility issues with drivers from Nvidia, Intel and Realtek.
These issues were serious enough for Microsoft to impose upgrade blocks on specific devices affected by compatibility problems after it released this version of Windows 10 in May.
Windows Update will automatically keep drivers updated, but the new page could help users install optional driver updates when they hit driver-related issues.

Q: Texture Quality - World of Warcraft Vanilla Textures. This is something that has been bothering me since I started messing with them.More specifically, their quality in World of Warcraft Vanilla.
I searched and researched it over and over again, tried it in so many ways but it's just never perfect.
The game only accepts the file formats BLP and TGA which I never get them to be as good as PNG.I'm not sure if the issue is the converters I use (I have tried multiple ones) or if it's actually impossible.
Here's an example:
lua code
local Frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
Frame:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
Frame:SetWidth(82)
Frame:SetHeight(82)
local Texture = Frame:CreateTexture()
Texture:SetAllPoints()
-- 82 / 128 = 0.640625
Texture:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\MyAddOn\\image.tga") -- .blp .tga
Texture:SetTexCoord(0, 0.640625, 0, 0.640625)

image.png

image.blp (in-game look)

image.tga (in-game look)

PNG to BLP converter that I used in this case.
PNG to TGA converter that I used in this case.
image.blp file.
image.tga file.
Resuming: I want to have an in-game texture that is 100% (every pixel) like the original PNG image.


The incredible designs represent the legendary role that the U.S. Marshals Service had in the Old West, and pays tribute to the servicemen who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
The U.S. Marshals Service was formed when President George Washington signed the Judiciary Act into law in 1789, making it the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the country. Now, 225 years later, the U.S. Marshals continue with the same principles of justice, integrity, and service. In 2015 the United States Mint chose to honor the U.S. Marshals Service with three distinct coins that commemorate the 225th anniversary of the establishment of the Marshals.
The U.S. Marshals Service commemorative coins are something of a modern marvel. They absolutely shine with brilliance due to their minting process. The incredible designs represent the legendary role that the U.S. Marshals Service had in the Old West, and pays tribute to the servicemen who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
These coins are presented in three denominations and three metal compositions. The half dollar is a copper-nickel clad composition, the one dollar is struck in 90% silver, and the five dollar is struck in 90% gold. Additionally these commemorative coins are struck in two different finishes (proof and uncirculated) in four different U.S. Mint facilities – the proof coins were struck in San Francisco and West Point, and the uncirculated coins were struck in Philadelphia and Denver. Furthermore, these amazing coins are backed by the U.S. government to be legal tender and are guaranteed for their weight and purity.
Each denomination is presented with its own stunning design. The half dollar coin depicts an Old West scene with a U.S. Marshal and his horse in the upper left-hand side, and a modern female U.S. Marshal wearing tactical gear in the lower right of the obverse. The reverse features Lady Justice holding the scale of justice in her left hand and the U.S. Marshals Service star in her right hand. The one dollar coin depicts the U.S. Marshals Service star with a silhouette of deputies riding on horseback to pursue an outlaw on the obverse, while the reverse depicts a frontier Marshal holding a "WANTED" sign, leaning against a fence post. The inscriptions – Justice - Integrity – Service – surround this design. And lastly the five dollar coin features the U.S. Marshals Service star with a mountain range in the background on the obverse. The inscription "225 YEARS OF SACRIFICE" is located on the bottom. The reverse depicts an eagle holding an American flag. A shield with the inscription, "U.S. MARSHAL" is located on the chest of the eagle.
Four people were involved in the designing and engraving of each coin. For example, the half dollar proof coin, which was struck in San Francisco, included the involvement of Joel Iskowitz for the design of the obverse, Michael Gaudioso for the engraving of the obverse, Susan Gamble for the design of the reverse, and Phebe Hemphill for the engraving of the reverse. The dollar coin included the involvement of Richard Masters for the design of the obverse, Charles Vickers for the engraving of the obverse, Frank Morris for the design of the reverse, and Joseph Menna for the engraving of the reverse.
Now, these incredible works of art are available with the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) certification to provide further level of collectability. These coins are available in two grades – 69 and 70 – and in a wide range of labels, including the West Point Star Label, Wyatt Earp Label, and the highly collectible First Day of Issue Label. By rules and regulations that govern the coin certification industry, the NGC labels provide further guarantee of the coin's weight, purity, and overall quality. For the coins that are certified as Proof 69 Ultra Cameo or Mint State 69 grades, the NGC guarantees that these coins are a hairline away from perfection. For the coins that are certified at Proof 70 Ultra Cameo or Mint State 70 grades, the NGC guarantees that these coins have no post-production imperfections at 5x magnification.
These coins present a rare opportunity to view superb engraving skills of the United States Mint and showcase the use of multiple finishes that further display the combined craftsmanship and artistry which have produced these stunning designs. Since their release, these coins have quickly gained popularity. To obtain these coins is a challenge, as they are sold out almost everywhere. These coins are a perfect gift for any American history fan, a true numismatic enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys beauty.

Q: is there something like alternate data streams on any linux filesystem? On Windows NTFS there is a nice but mostly unused feature called
"Alternate Data Streams" (ADS) which I recently used in a hobby-dev project.
On Mac HFS+ there is also a similarly nice but mostly unused feature called "named forks".
I am thinking of porting this project to Linux, but I do not know if any Filesystem on linux has such a feature?

A: Extended attributes are supported some filesystems, particularly XFS, and (i think) JFS; but are limited in size (64k in XFS).  Reiser4 supports arbitrary sized forks; but it's not supported by any distro i know of.  Another option is ZFS, again not very usable.
In the end, it's probably wiser to just use a directory.

A: There are file systems on both Windows and Linux (and other OSes) that support extended attributes (EAs). The Windows support was added for OS/2 compat and does not have any documented interface, except for a hacky method through the backup API (that's what Cygwin does). EAs are designed to store small values only. On Windows, each EA has an ASCII name (whereas almost all other names are Unicode) and the combined size of all EAs on a file can't be larger than 64k. EAs are not files: you can't open a file handle to an EA and read it like a normal file.
Alternate data streams are a separate feature provided by NTFS which allows you to provide alternate subfiles inside of a file. Every file has a default unnamed data stream that is automatically opened unless you specify an alternate one. You can open a handle to an ADS and read (even execute) it like a normal file, with a single (Unicode) filename. An ADS can be as large as any disk file.
There is no exact analog to ADSes on Linux that I know of, but you may be able to use EAs on the Linux port instead if the data values are small.

A: The problem with ADS is that Windows will "lose" those ADS streams the second that it moves to any non-NTFS filesystem.   It does not consider those streams important, so oftentimes they are not kept around.  You'll find they aren't accessible or disappear when over a network share, when burned to CD, put on a USB drive, etc...
The long and short of it is, unless you have a very narrow focus for your application (always on NTFS), I would avoid ADS streams altogether.

A: Most Linux file systems have extended attributes. I'm not familiar with NTFS streams, so I can't compare the two. Most file systems need to be mounted with flags to enable the extended attributes, so this may not work generically for anyone's system. They are usually abbreviated as xattr or xattrs.

A: The only thing I know, which goes somewhat into that direction are extended attributes, but from what I read about ADS it's def. not the same thing. What exactly are you using that for?

A: The commonly used Linux filesystems do not support this. Instead you could use multiple files and a suitable naming scheme (just append the stream index to each filename, perhaps), or an archive containing multiple files; you will find such an approach is better in other ways anyway - for instance, what happens on Windows if someone wants to back up the files Windows to a medium with a non-NTFS filesystem?


Staying On Your Feet Longer During The Day » Life Of Veronica!
There's a lot of factors that need to be taken into account when it comes to your stamina. Did you get a good night's sleep? Have you eaten well? Are you hydrated? Have you been able to take some breaks today? The list just goes on and on, and it gets harder and harder to ignore the ache in the soles of your feet from standing around all day!
But when it comes to absolutely needing to stay on your feet for a bit longer in order to accomplish all of your tasks for the day, there are a few things you can do or invest in to make sure you're not going to wake up with broken ankles tomorrow morning. And here's a couple of those ideas worth your consideration.
It might sound like the last thing you want to do when you're already experiencing aches and pains, but it's something that's going to make sure tomorrow cache-free. Exercises help you to stretch and loosen your muscles, so take a quick five or ten minutes right now to do yourself a favor.
Try using a resistance band, or something that can offer equal pressure, and train your legs and feet to get a little bit stronger day by day. And even better, you can do these kind of exercises whilst sitting down! When you've got better resistance in your legs, you're going to tire slower, and you're going to be able to start striding with your friends who never seem to have any trouble.
Or even just the symptoms of one are. Chronic illnesses are things people learn to live with, but that doesn't mean they don't suffer. So in the attempt to make a little easier for anyone who always has some kind of a pain in their legs and their feet, here's a little reminder to do your stretches and make sure to sit down whenever you need to. Don't feel bad if others around you don't need to!
At the same time, make sure you're looking into adding new items to your wardrobe to give you more of a permanent solution here. If you're someone who suffers with effects on your legs because of the illness you suffer from, such as diabetes, you can buy some diabetic socks to protect your nerves in your feet and keep yourself on the go for a lot longer than usual. And products like this exist for almost every long term illness someone could have, so always look into solutions like this.
Being able to stand around for even five or ten minutes longer than usual is a sign of progress, but make sure you never push yourself too hard. Everyone has different stamina levels, and it's no harm if your is lower than others. It's just a different way of life, and you can live it.

Hugh of Gualdo Cattaneo (died 1260) was a hermit known for his life of prayer and penance.
For a long time he lived in the Hermitage of Saint John near Bevagna.
Shortly after the Augustinian Grand Union of 1256, in which several diverse religious communities became part of the Order of Saint Augustine, people of the town of Gualdo wanted to have this holy man living in their midst.
The Benedictines owned a long-abandoned monastery there. The townspeople of Gualdo persuaded the Benedictines to donate this abandoned monastery to the town. The town, in turn, placed the monastery under the auspices of the Augustinians and in 1258 brought Hugh and his community of hermits to live there.
Hugh was selected as the first Prior (local superior) of the new Augustinian community. Hugh died January 1, 1260. He was first buried at the little Church of Saint Augustine, which was attached to the monastery. Later his remains were moved to the larger Church of Saints Anthony and Antoninus, where they could be better protected from a group of people from Bevagna, the site of Hugh's earlier hermitage, who wanted to dig up his body and carry it back to their town.

'There has to be a little something the matter with you if you didn't like Jimmy Stewart. With the possible exception of George Burns, he was Hollywood's most likable immortal.
But if George's sweetness seemed to spring from a cosmic joy in show business, Jimmy's homespun amiability had none of that razzmatazz. Stammering and sincere, almost embarrassed by his decency, he stood for something that had its roots in Boy Scout jamborees, church socials and other manifestations of small-town values.
Like Tom Hanks does today, Jimmy Stewart wore this just-folks mantle lightly and with wit. Besides, he wasn't so much a man of the people as the people's choice - the Everyman that every man would choose to represent his interests.
As George Bailey in his favorite film, It's a Wonderful Life (1946), Stewart wasn't one of the struggling little people of Bedford Falls but, rather, the altruistic banker who touched so many lives. And as Jefferson Smith in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), he may have begun as a country bumpkin but he soon became a crusading senator.
Stewart, who died on Wednesday at age 89, was never one to put on airs. Yet despite his humility, his touch of class was unmistakable. The hint of aloofness - or, at least, detachment - that all true stars possess was always part of his appeal.
In Robert Mitchum, another recently fallen immortal, this quality came across as sexual swagger. In Fred Astaire it was airy ecstasy, and in Humphrey Bogart it often appeared as outright cynicism.
For Stewart it could be the shining idealism of someone like Mr. Smith, but it could take other, more troubling forms.
It could also be the genteel distraction of the "pixilated" Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey (1950), the closeted voyeurism of Jeff Jeffries in Rear Window (1954), the anguished dementia of Scottie Ferguson in Vertigo (1958) or the hopeless alienation of George Bailey who - let us never forget - attempts suicide in It's a Wonderful Life. If not for the timely intervention of an angel named Clarence, George would have been just another grim statistic.
Early in Anatomy of a Murder (1959), Stewart appears as Paul Biegler, an attorney whose election bid has been rejected by his fellow citizens.
This world-weary man takes a distinctly perverse pride in his own lack of ambition. But then Stewart never claimed to be an angel - although, of course, he's up there with Clarence now.
Perhaps his decency was so convincing - and so moving - because it seemed so hard-won.
Did James Stewart always play himself? If so, that self was flexible enough to be effective in movies as different as the Ernst Lubitsch comedy The Shop Around the Corner (1940) and the Hitchcock thriller The Man Who Knew Too Much (1955), the offbeat western Destry Rides Again (1939), the star-studded romance The Philadelphia Story (1940) and six dozen others.
Naturally, he tended to downplay his artistry. But his Philadelphia Story co-star, Cary Grant, once compared his influence on the art of screen acting to that of Marlon Brando.
"Jimmy had the ability to talk naturally," Grant was quoted as saying. "He knew that in conversations people do often interrupt one another and that it's not always so easy to get a thought out. It took a little while for the sound men to get used to him, but he had an enormous impact. And then, some years later, Marlon came out and did the same thing all over again . . ."
Coming from Grant, that's quite a tribute. But what Stewart meant - and continues to mean - to us is more than this. It's not only as an actor that we cherish him, but also as an emblem of something we want to believe is within all of us.
"As a movie actor, what you're doing is giving people little tiny pieces of time they never forget," he wrote just two years ago. " . . . People remember these little moments as vividly as if they were parts of their own lives. It's all connected somehow - their lives and these movie moments."
We all feel connected to Jimmy Stewart.
He gave us so many moments. He touched so many lives.

Salal Project, Jammu and Kashmir
Salal Project is a run-of-the-river power project on the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir. This was the first hydropower project, which was built by India under the Indus Water Treaty regime in Kashmir.
Salal Project, also known as Salal Hydroelectric Power Station, is a run-of-the-river power project on the Chenab River in Reasi District of Jammu and Kashmir. This was the first hydropower project, which was built by India under the Indus Water Treaty regime in Kashmir. It was constructed after the agreement between India and Pakistan in 1978. It took almost five years to build the dam. Jammu and Kashmir receives 12.5 percent of the energy generated from the project. The rest is transmitted to the Northern Grid where it is distributed to the states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Jammu and Kashmir also purchases additional power at regular prices.
History of Salal Project
The initiative of the Sala Project was taken in the year 1920 and research started in 1961 by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir. Salal Project was designed in 1968. Construction of the dam started from 1970 by Central Hydroelectric Project Control Board.
Construction of Salal Project
After the agreement in 1978, the construction of the project was entrusted to National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC). The Stage-I of the powerhouse was commissioned in 1987; Stage-II between 1993 and 1995. The final commissioning of the project took place in 1996. After the completion of the project, it was transferred to NHPC for the ownership.
Structure of Salal Project
Salal Dam is 130 meters high with an elevation of 1627 feet above mean sea level, a 40 feet gated spillway at the top and six under-sluices at an elevation of 1365 feet. Due to Pakistan's insistence, the under-sluices were permanently plugged with concrete. The gates were also reduced from 40 feet to 30 feet.

Today was great! We toured a Spanish castle with a girl from Guatemala City, went through the jungles where Tarzan was filmed, and stayed at an island where the descendants of ship-wrecked slaves live. I will write more later…on to our next excursion!
The end of another great day here in Central America, and most likely our last in Guatemala. We had an extremely early start so we could catch our bus to Rio Dulce, a small port city about 5 hours away from Flores. Although we were a bit sluggish we made it onto our bus without any hassle (well except that as Kylie was getting ready her toothbrush fell into the toilet… We're sharing now haha). The bus itself was pretty interesting. We'd wanted to avoid riding a chicken bus – a cheapo bus that is the least expensive. Typically these buses have no A/C and people cram in several to a seat- and so we got the next best thing. Turns out it was only just a step up from a chicken bus with the A/C being the only difference. Oh well, it was a beautiful drive. Guatemala is full of rolling green hills and coconut/palm trees which make this place pretty stunning to drive through. Almost reminds me of Hawaii at times. When we got to Rio Dulce we started to look for the ticket booth to get to Livingston that evening (only accessible by boat) and ran into a girl named Maria. Maria was from Guatemala City and had finished traveling with her boyfriend and was in Rio Dulce with nothing to do. Kylie worked her magic and we made a new friend.
Having Maria around was pretty fortunate. She spoke perfect English, was very friendly and wanted to hear all shout our travels. Maria is an optometrist in Guatemala City and had all sorts of insights about traveling in the region. She took us to the Castillo (the nearby Spanish castle built in the 1800's to protect the sailors from pirates) which was pretty cool. She also showed us where we could get done good local Guatemalan food. It was a lot of fun!
Honestly though, the highlight for me was our boat ride into Livingston. We boated across the enormous lake into the inland river to approach the city. Livingston is only accessible by boat so food is sent in each day along with other items. During the ride it began to rain and we were given tarps to cover ourselves as the rain bombarded us. When the rain stopped we entered the gorge area which was spectacular. The gorge rose 30 meters on either side of the river in clear cut jungle cliffs. It was spectacular to boat through as the sun cleared away the cloud layer leaving a bright, beautiful rays of light on the sides of the cliffs. I can see why Tarzan was filmed here, this place is a jungle paradise.
That's all for now! Tomorrow we set off for Belize and a Mayan chocolate farm!


This year's League Prize asked entrants to consider the notion of city limits. Cities provoke a multiplicity of readings that correspond to different points of view and locations. Architects continue to be faced with the task of reading and projecting and building cities. Practices may be simultaneously local and/or global, tactical and/or strategic.
In contrast to the Industrial Revolution, the immense scope of recent technological advances in DNA mapping and data flows originates at the compressed scale of particles and elements. How is the relevance of such minutiae affecting the conception of urban forms?
If urban conditions of proximity and density are no longer necessary to exchange information, products, ideas, and beliefs, what is the relevance of the city as a center of exchange? And if historic conceptions of cities have in part been a definition of limits, how does a reconception of boundaries due to contemporary modes of exchange alter the limits of cities?
The City Limits theme was developed by the 2001 Young Architects + Designers Committee, which comprised past League Prize winners James Slade, Yolande Daniels, and Jeremy Edmiston.
The competition jurors included Wolf Prix, Nanako Umemoto, and Mark Wigley.

"Be yourself," they say. Well, Brut Beirut totally supports this. In fact, they had a super-fun theme party Friday night where everyone's inner geek was urged to come out. Boys and girls sporting glasses, ties, suspenders and brainy attitudes came together to celebrate that geek is now chic. DJ Mario spun some nerd-friendly partylicious tunes on the decks while the crowd whipped out their dorkiest moves on the dance floor. We love geeks, and it was a really swell party!

South West is 2nd wealthiest part of the UK
A study by Barclays published this month, places Somerset in the region with the 2nd highest wealth indicators in the UK, behind only London and the South East. Amongst the factors that contribute to these findings is the relatively low unemployment and the high level of business start-ups.
Figures released by the bank have confirmed the region - which includes Somerset as well as Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire and Bristol, Poole and Bournemouth - enjoys a median household wealth of £288,300.
This figure is the second highest in the whole of the UK, just falling behind the median wealth of the South East, which stands at £309,700.
This wealth is visible through a number of different areas. The South West is now home to around 59,000 millionaires, a number which has substantially increased since 2010, when it stood at 42,000.

Q: If $X_n \to 0$ in $L^p$ then $S_n/n \to 0$ in $L^p$ Let $X_n; n \geq 1$ be any sequence of random variables and $p \geq 1$. Denote $$S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i.$$ Show that if $X_n \to 0$ in $L^p$ then $S_n/n \to 0$ in $L^p$. Also show that this is false if $p < 1$.
To start:
If $X_n \to 0$ in $L^p$ then by definition, $\lim_{n \to \infty} \mathbb{E}(|X_n|^p) = 0$. Then we have
\begin{align*}
\lim_{n \to \infty} \mathbb{E}\left(\left|\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \right|^p\right) &=
\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n^p} \mathbb{E}\left(\left|\sum_{i=1}^n X_i \right|^p\right) \\
&\leq \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n^p} \mathbb{E}\left[\left(\sum_{i=1}^n \left|X_i \right|\right)^p\right]
\end{align*}
I am unsure how to progress.

A: For $p\ge 1$: Basic result in real analysis: If $a_n$ is a sequence of real numbers and $a_n\to L,$ then
$$\frac{a_1 + \cdots + a_n}{n} \to L.$$
Use this with the following:
$$\|\frac{S_n}{n}\|_p = \frac{1}{n }\|S_n\|_p \le \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n}\|X_k\|_p .$$

A: I will help you with the case $p>1$. Since $X_n\to 0$ in $L^p$, we have in hindsight that $E|X_n|^p<\infty$ for all $n\geq 1$. Then, from the $L^p$ convergence, it follows that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a natural number $N=N(\epsilon)$ such that
\begin{equation}
E|X_n|^p <\epsilon\quad \text{for all }n\geq N.
\end{equation}
Fixing $\epsilon=0.5$, it follows that there exists $N$ such that $E|X_n|^p<0.5$ for all $n\geq N$. Let $c=\max\{E|X_1|^p,\ldots,E|X_{N-1}|^p,0.5\}$. Then, we have $E|X_n|^p\leq c$ for all $n\geq 1$. In other words, the sequence $(E|X_n|^p)_{n\geq 1}$ is bounded.
Since $f(t)=t^p$ is convex for all $p\geq 1$ and $t\geq 0$, we have by Jensen's inequality and Minkowski's inequality that $$E\left(\left|\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i \right|^p\right)\leq \frac{1}{n^p}\sum\limits_{i=1}^nE|X_i|^p\leq \frac{c}{n^{p-1}}.$$
The above proves the desired $L^p$ convergence.

Nine years after Rocky Balboa and 40 years since the original Rocky was unleashed, the iconic boxing series gets a reboot in the shape of Creed.
Starring a returning Sylvester Stallone and Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan this time Rocky is behind the ropes, working as trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson, the son of his friend and great rival Apollo Creed.
As the angry, confused and enigmatic Adonis Creed Jordan delivers a brilliant performance and links up superbly with Stallone. Moving into centre stage in a Rocky movie is a daunting proposition, but Jordan pulls it off totally.
The Rocky movies are packed with iconic moments, but the most memorable are always the heart swelling training montages and Creed has a series of brilliant ones.
Creed is released into cinemas on January 15th and will be released on DVD later this year.

Villa 4151 sits at the end of this luxury villa Estate and is a little different in layout to the others. This is the only villa where the living pavilions don't form a courtyard that accommodates the swimming pool. Here the pavilions are linked by planted and covered terraces with the pool and sizeable garden situated at the far right of the property. The grounds of this villa are also slightly more elevated from the beach and therefore it offers even more privacy and seclusion.
The first feature you notice is the classy waterfall that's opposite the entrance. To the right of that is a large manicured lawn and garden that leads to the L-shaped blue-tiled swimming pool.
To the left of the waterfall is a well stocked mature garden area and beyond that is a pavilion with two en-suite twin bedrooms. A recessed garden area separates this from a further en-suite double bedroom. And another recessed garden then leads into the master suite which has a dressing area and en-suite bathroom with bathtub and inner garden feature.
Directly in front of the entrance waterfall is the pavilion that's made up of the well equipped western style fitted kitchen, a bathroom and a huge dining and lounge area. Dividing this from the bedroom pavilion is a partially covered walkway with an attractive row of plants along the centre.
Across the entire front of the property is a covered terrace area linking the master suite to the lounge and across to the impressive sala. A raised garden then provides private access onto the golden sand beach.
An L-shaped pool runs from the sala along the lounge/dining area and then turns right across to the kitchen. The beautiful garden then extends back around to the entrance.
This is an attractive and stylish property, with well chosen furniture, tasteful art and ornament selections, and a unique layout that ensures maximum privacy, whether you're inside or outside of this functional high-quality villa. With the location of the garden and pool and with the kitchen and lounge/diner positioned directly overlooking that area this villa is ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying your stay on the island.

Ok now as you have all been seeing, lately I haven't posted a lot and there is a reason for that. I was on vacation and did not take anything related to technology with me.
Well now that I am back things will change, I've already prepared some nice posts and started remaking the tutorials and edit them properly and I have also been referring my tutorials on Securitytube so hopefully there will be more video tutorials for you to watch.
However the first priority is to finish remaking my tutorials.
Oh and one last thing, I appreciate your comments and visits, hope I can post more stuff that you guys like !
.NET vs Java programmers !
A group OF 4 Microsoft .NET programmers AND a group OF 4 Java programmers are going ON a train to AN expo. The MS programmers buy a ticket each, AND then watch the Java programmers proceed to buy one ticket between them.
The MS programmers are intrigued AND when they get ON the train, they watch the Java programmers to see what they do when the guard comes to check the tickets. It turns out that, before the guard comes, they all cram into the toilet. The guard knocks ON the door, AND asks for the ticket. The guard takes it from under the door, AND slides it back.
The MS programmers are all impressed, SO ON the way back, they buy only one ticket. Only to watch the Java folks get ON the train without buying a ticket AT all.
When they get ON the train, the MS people cram into the toilet, as they saw the Java folks ON the earlier journey. The Java programmers then knock ON the door, AND say "Ticket please". The MS programmers slide the ticket under the door, as they saw the Java programmers do earlier.
"Thank you", they say. "You steal our methods, but you don't understand them."
So I guess the rumors are true :) the Metasploit Unleashed course will be updated on a monthly basis.
We can expect a whole lot of new content being added onto the Metasploit Unleashed Wiki in the next few months, for now they have added 9 new sections.


CHICAGO – When Barack Obama took to the podium at Grant Park and gave his acceptance speech on the evening of November 4, 2008, his face appeared strangely reserved. His eyes did not reflect the overwhelming excitement of his supporters. Their grassroots efforts led to the election of a candidate whose popularity transcended national boundaries, injecting cynics with hope.
Obama could make a believer out of anyone except, perhaps, himself. With all eyes averted eagerly toward him, the newly elected President of the United States looked cool, composed and utterly daunted. Was he simply attempting to maintain a grounded calm, a la Lovie Smith? Or was he beginning to fear that his campaign had somehow oversold his abilities to clean up a mess sure to linger throughout several presidencies? Now that he had the whole world in his hands, was he afraid that he would fumble the ball?
These are the sort of thoughts you may find yourself grappling with while watching Jeff Deutchman's intriguing and occasionally chilling documentary, "11/4/08." It's not a standalone film so much as an introduction to a sociological experiment. Deutchman recruited various friends to capture images of the historic 2008 Election Day from a variety of locations, which the film jumps between as the day progresses. The locations aren't just of the familiar American variety: Chicago, Manhattan, Austin, Los Angeles, New Orleans, etc. We're also treated to images from Paris, Berlin and Dubai. It's startling to hear crowds of people overseas chanting, "Yes We Can!" The percussive sound of their voices mirror the rhythms of a Manhattan subway performer, whose drum beats accentuate the pulse of the streets, which is abuzz with Obama fever. Unlike HBO's somewhat stagnant documentary, "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama," Deutchman's film is actually for, about and made by the very people who brought this unlikely candidate to the White House.
A neon sign proclaiming Obama support glows over Brooklyn in a scene from Jeff Deutchman's 11/4/08.
There's nothing particularly cinematic about the fragments of footage assembled here, but their juxtaposition packs a genuine, cumulative power. Though several notable and gifted independent filmmakers contributed to this project, some of the most heartrending footage comes courtesy of aspiring school teacher Becky Hurwitz. At the Obama campaign headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, Hurwitz captured some memorable vignettes of the impassioned workers. One young woman gushes about her experience of motivating an elderly voter to make it to the polls. Her excitement and energy is quite emblematic of the spirit that pervaded the entire Obama movement. This monologue is soon followed by what's easily the film's emotional high point. A sixty-year-old black woman, overcome with emotion, recalls her early memory of the Emmett Till murder, before conveying her gratitude for living to see the historic election of the first black president. "If you only knew what it meant to people who look like me," she says tearfully.
The crowd erupts at Grant Park on Election Night in a scene from Jeff Deutchman's 11/4/08.
Some segments in the film are less successful. Henry Joost ("Catfish") has the promising notion of confronting Starbucks about its arguably illegal use of free coffee to encourage voter participation, but the filmmaker's plans are swiftly derailed by a camera-shy employee. Other sections of the picture are woefully underutilized, such as the trip to Indiana taken by Joe Swanberg, the great micro budget filmmaker based in Chicago, and his wife and collaborator Kris. They go door to door handing out voting pamphlets, and encounter a woman who is utterly convinced that the Black Panthers will kill her should she turn up to vote (I wouldn't mind seeing an entire film dedicated to this story thread). And for the record, Steve Backer is the only filmmaker who tries to engage his interviewees in a political discussion, asking a woman in Dubai about her opinions concerning Obama's plan to immediately withdraw troops.
"11/4/08" is both enhanced and hindered by its inherently experimental nature. At a running time barely exceeding the seventy-minute mark, the picture hardly qualifies as a feature-length film, and is best viewed online (where it is certainly most accessible). Upon finishing the movie, Deutchman hopes that viewers will check out its official website, where users will be able to upload their own footage from the day, download any available footage, and edit together their own version of the picture. Deutchman says that his ultimate goal is to create an "interactive history textbook." And since much of the hype and momentum of the Obama campaign was generated online, what better place to log its history than the Internet? This is perhaps the best artistic way to explore a subject that is still in the process of evolving. It's both exciting and heartbreaking to witness the sheer level of hope captured in this footage that has all but evaporated a mere two years later. Rarely has a document of recent history felt so achingly nostalgic.
'11/4/08' was released Oct. 22 on demand via iTunes, AmazonVOD, Sony Playstation and CinemaNow. It was edited and curated by Jeff Deutchman. It is not rated.
