60 SECONDS WITH…
60 seconds with...Nigel Dodds, advanced nurse practitioner at St Christopher's Hospice, London
We talk to Nigel Dodds, advanced nurse practitioner at St Christopher's Hospice, London, who has been a nurse for 25 years.
Why did you become a nurse?
I think I always wanted to be a nurse. My mother wanted to be a nurse but wasn't able to be as she left school early. My sister is a nurse, so I guess I wanted to follow in her footsteps.
Where did you train?
Newcastle upon Tyne.
What was your first job?
Working on an infectious disease unit at Newcastle General Hospital.
What is the trait you least like in yourself and why?
Speaking before thinking - it gets me into lots of trouble.
From whom have you learnt the most in your career?
Professor Dame Barbara Monroe, the chief executive at St Christopher's Hospice, is pretty inspirational. She is always available to discuss professional issues despite her huge responsibilities. The ability to do strategic work as well as understand the minutiae of patient and staff problems is a real gift in a leader.
What advice would you give someone starting out?
Work in palliative care. It's a fulfilling field for a nurse. There are so many opportunities to learn and develop. You can make a tangible difference to the quality of life of patients and their carers, the sort of difference that will last for a long time - beyond the patient's life.
What keeps you awake?
My pager, when I'm on call. When I'm not on call, it's most likely to be worrying about my PhD assignment deadlines.
What's the most satisfying part of your job?
Being able to remain hands on while developing and leading services. St Christopher's is a great place to work, with its history and standing nationally and internationally.
What is your proudest achievement?
There have been many. In the last year, I'm really pleased to have developed a new nurse-led model of care for the hospice's community patients.
What do you think will change nursing in the next decade?
Greater roles for nurses that will require us to be more and more flexible. In palliative care, we need to make sure services are accessible to all who need them. This means seeing people earlier on and those who historically may not have had access to palliative care, such as non-cancer patients, older people and those from hard-to-reach and minority groups.
Healthcare and research spending should be focused towards improving quality of life rather than increasing life expectancy
What would you have done if you hadn't become a nurse?
There was never a plan B. Thank god this worked out.
What job would you like to be doing in five years?
No idea - hopefully I'll still be working at St Christopher's.
What makes a good nurse?
Compassion, empathy and being able to give people time.
If you could change one thing in healthcare, what would it be?
Focus healthcare and research spending towards improving quality of life rather than increasing life expectancy.
What's your ideal weekend?
A long distance lake or lido swim. Time with my partner and friends involving: food, booze, cinema, theatre - but the swim has to come first.
If you could spend an hour with someone, who would it be?
Peter Tatchell, for his tenacity and dedication to gay, lesbian and transgender rights and human rights in general.

Q: Can rebels attack each other? Let's suppose there are two different rebel stacks in neighboring provinces.
Can the two different stacks fight each other?
If yes, can they cross the other province to go forward without fighting ?

A: Rebels do fight each other to siege down provinces.
Especially if they are "different" rebel type like one want to convert you to x religious while another want to insert a new Pretender on throne.
I can only think of one case where different rebel may not fight each other is that one of the rebel army is already engaged in fighting. That same army may end up fighting the second one if the fight finish too quick.
That is about all I know about rebels. That said there are some fringe edge cases that can be difficult to be sure such as rebel from different country crossing path.

5KCBWDAY3 – Marvin v spammers!
So today's blogging challenge is all to do with creative photography. Eek!
But that seemed a bit dull.
Then I remembered something irritating that keeps happening whenever I tag a post with the word 'blogging'. I get some likes, follows and spammy comments from people who clearly don't care about knitting, with preachy 'How all the blogging you've ever done is wrong – and I can tell you how to do it right with my boring generic tips!' type sites. Urgh.
I'm not bothered about getting lots of blog traffic if it's from spammers. I want to read other knitting and crochet blogs and for the lovely people who write them to perhaps read my blog if they enjoy it.
One of these 'blogging guru' type sites even ended every post title with the word 'REALLY???' all in capitals, just like that, with three question marks. Who are these people? How do they expect me to respect their opinions on blogging if they can't even think of decent titles? Maybe it's just me. I can't pretend to understand the technicalities behind blogging, or know what the SEO is or how to get more organic traffic, but I just want to write posts that you'll enjoy reading.
Back tomorrow with another post!


But just as Montana has not over the long-haul properly funded preservation and presentation of our natural history through our state parks, we have not properly supported our state and local historical preservation efforts. There are outstanding exceptions to this rule, but the rule generally holds – almost all genuine and important efforts to preserve and present our history fall way short financially and infrastructurally.
SB 338 provides for a 1 percent increase in the statewide accommodations – paid by tourists who also visit Montana's history sites and traveling Montanans – an annual $8 million to $10 million revenue source that does not tap the state's general fund or reallocate existing revenues. The bill has broad support and involvement from legislators of both parties, the lodging and hospitality industry, Montana Historical Society, Museums Association of Montana, State Chamber of Commerce, organized labor, economic developers, infrastructure coalition, League of Cities & Towns, contractors association and others.
The first five years, starting in 2020, 80 percent of the revenue is combined with previous bonding authority and $10 million of private funds to construct the long-awaited and needed $34 million Montana Heritage Center. The other 20 percent will start funding the historic preservation grant program that provides for infrastructure projects all across Montana for our many museums, local historical societies and historic sites. In the first year only, special support goes to the Moss Mansion in Billings and the Daly Mansion in Hamilton, both state-owned properties.
SB 338 is an enlightened approach to preserving our important heritage. All across Montana local folks will have increasing capability of telling, housing and displaying the important stories of their people and their community. Yes, we are history and, along with the stories of our predecessors that we treasure, our stories of today, that will become tomorrow's history, can be preserved for our descendants. SB 338 helps make that possible.

Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil. Prepare curry ingredients. Cook rice in pot of boiling water for about 13 minutes. After 13 minutes, add peas and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, until peas are bright green and rice is tender.
Once rice and peas are cooked, drain well then return to pot and fold through spinach. Season and set aside.
While rice cooks, heat oil in a medium pot on medium heat. Cook onion, ginger and garlic with a pinch of salt, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes. Add curry paste and continue to cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using) and salt. Stir to combine. Add sliced courgette and fish, ensuring fish is submerged. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fish is just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Peel second courgette and carrot into ribbons and thinly slice cores; thinly slice mint; finely chop coriander. Place all in a small bowl along with vinegar. Toss well to combine and season to taste.
TO SERVE spoon green rice into bowls and ladle over fish curry. Place herby vegetables on top.

Book Review: In a Garden Burning Gold by Rory Power
Title: In a Garden Burning Gold
Author: Rory Power
Publisher: Del Rey
One Sentence Summary: Twins Lexos and Rhea have only ever been devoted to their Stratagiozi father for the past century, but unrest around them has them preparing to protect their family.
In a Garden Burning Gold is a Greek-inspired fantasy featuring twins who will do anything to protect their family. But it comes at the price of their country and makes them blind to the rest of the world. Considering they've lived for over a century, there were several things that just didn't work for me, but I absolutely adored their two younger siblings. As the story focuses on twins Lexos and Rhea, I couldn't help feeling like a lot of the interesting parts of the story were happening off page and I instead got two characters were spent a lot of time thinking. Still, the world unfolds like a blooming flower and the history teases a lot of interesting things that will hopefully fully bloom in the second book. I'm intrigued to know what happens after the ending in In a Garden Burning Gold, even though the characters were a bit of a letdown and the story felt a little too simple.
Extended Thoughts
A thousand years ago, the saints, who had stripped their power from the land, were slaughtered by one of their own, the first Stratagiozi. Over time, others rose, wresting land and power from him, eventually forming a council of Stratagiozi who rule the world, each governing their own country. A hundred years ago, Vasilis Argyros killed the Thyzakos Stratagiozi and took his place, taking his powers and eventually blessing each of his four children with powers as well.
For a hundred years, twins Lexos and Rhea have dutifully served their father and family, doing as their father bid. Lexos, as their father's second, trains to become the next Stratagiozi of Thyzakos while tending to the tides and night sky. Rhea changes the seasons, taking a consort at the beginning of each season and then thrusting a knife into their heart to end the season. But, lately, their father has become unpredictable and tyrannical, alienating an entire region and the Stratagiozi council. When Rhea goes against their father and chooses a consort of her brother's choosing, events are set into motion as both twins try to protect their family, completely blind to all the machinations around them and to each other.
In a Garden Burning Gold is a Greek-inspired fantasy full of incredible powers and the potential at a rich history. It features twins, the elder two children of a god-like man who took power for himself and his family, who will do anything to protect the family. I found their determination to do this admirable, but parts of them and the story felt a little flimsy, like explanations to solve problems while actually presenting more questions to my mind. I did love how this world functioned and parts of the world building were lovely, but, overall, the story felt a little on the simple side to me.
As the first half of a duology, In a Garden Burning Gold has a lot to offer, and ends with a lot of questions. It nicely builds the world and the history while leaving a lot unanswered. But, as the first half of a duology, I wanted more world building. I felt it unfolded very slowly, only as needed until the second half when more of the world just felt like it poured in. From Rhea's perspective, she spent most of her time either at home at Stratathoma or in Ksigora with her consort. I loved the Ksigora and especially appreciated the stark signs of neglect to this frosty region. I loved how it tied into Rhea's own family history and how everything about it tied into Rhea's decisions. It was fantastic to really get to know this one area of the world through her eyes. In contrast, Lexos traveled quite a bit more, but even that felt a little limited. It was incredible to see the bits and pieces of the world his perspective offered, and I enjoyed how wildly different each region was, but, other than how the other Stratagiozi chose to rule, I couldn't really tell how each country was different. In my mind the world looked like a big block of land with some mountains and a forest and a very interesting city. Otherwise I'd be hard pressed to say exactly what this world looked like. I just carried a miniature version of what I imagine Greece to look like to help me fill in the gaps. The history, though, was quite fascinating to me. I really enjoyed the story of the saints and how they and the Stratagiozi took their powers. I wanted to know more about the saints, but much of that has been lost to history, though I hope the second book will put more focus on it as it ties in to the story.
But In a Garden Burning Gold isn't about the world; it's about Lexos and Rhea. Told from their perspectives, it was interesting to get their different views of the world and their family, especially since they're a deeply bonded pair. So much of what they did and believed were similar, but, because they were not physically together for much of the book, there were huge differences that really made all the difference in the story. I found them to be interesting, but I much preferred reading about their younger siblings, Nitsos and Chrysanthi, more. I enjoyed how loyal they all were, but, at the same time, I wondered if they ever tired of their work and the crazy demands of their father. After all, they'd been living like that for a hundred years; I'd about had it with their father halfway through the story. But what really bothered me was how young and naive Lexos and Rhea came off as. They seemed almost blinded, but I'm not sure by what. After a hundred years, I expected more cynicism and manipulation, but they seemed more like they'd just received their powers and were exactly the young adult ages they appeared to be. I had a hard time believing that, after a hundred years of having four consorts a year, Rhea just tumbled head over heels for one consort and would do anything for him. I also found it hard to believe Lexos would actually be content to be under his father's thumb and never given anything more for a hundred years. The fact that the story just twisted around them and dragged them under with it had me scratching my head a little. They seemed a lot less worldly than I expected, and a lot younger, as though in a hundred years they only managed to reach age twenty.
Because Lexos and Rhea were so naive, the story ended up being fun and agonizing in turns. It also felt a little thin to me, but I'm more used to long, complex fantasies. This is not one of those. The pacing was kind of off to me, running headlong at the end after feeling like it was meandering a bit in the middle while the beginning kicked off at a good plod. Mostly, it felt slow to me in the middle because Lexos and Rhea both spent an awful lot of time just thinking instead of doing. I also kept getting the impression more interesting things were happening off the page, but, because this is a story told by Lexos and Rhea, the reader doesn't get any of the really juicy pieces. There is a lovely twist at the end, though, that I absolutely loved and it'll have me coming back for the second book. Still, the overall story in this one was mostly based around two siblings wanting to do anything to protect their family, without consulting with each other to align their plans, while picking apart everything else. I really wanted to enjoy the story, but nothing really interesting happened until after the halfway point, though some excellent reveals were given.
I'd have to say that my favorite part of this book were actually Nitsos and Chrysanthi. Nitsos is essentially the middle child, between the twins and Chrysanthi and, in many ways, really came off as that angry second child no one remembers or cares about. I felt he had a really interesting story there and couldn't help feeling like I was missing out. I adored everything about his characterization and loved how this half of the duology concluded for him. I can't wait to find out what he does in the second book. Then there's Chrysanthi, the sweet baby of the family who just felt like she had so much light in her. She was like a breath of fresh air and her naivety was absolutely perfect for her. She very much felt like the youngest of the family, but there's a quiet strength to her that was just a delight to see whenever it came out.
In a Garden Burning Gold is an interesting Greek-inspired fantasy, but it missed the mark a bit for me. The main characters tended to grate on me, though the secondary characters were quite amusing and a lot of fun. The story felt a little thin and simplistic as well, though I loved how much trouble Lexos and Rhea made for themselves. If they hadn't been so self-absorbed and focused on their father, I think they might have been more palatable to me. Fortunately, their younger siblings saved quite a bit of the story for me, and absolutely made the ending something to enjoy. I also wished for a bit more from the world and history. It felt like there was a whole world out there, just beyond my fingertips. I liked how it slowly unfolded, but I wanted it to be more fleshed out.

The Fawley oil refinery and Hamble oil terminal are seen on January 7, 2015 in Southampton, England.
Oil prices settled 5 percent lower on Friday after Britain's vote to leave the European Union spurred massive risk aversion and a rally in safe havens like the U.S. dollar that threatened to cut short a three-month-long recovery in global oil markets.
Financial markets have been worried for months about what a British exit from the European Union, dubbed widely as 'Brexit,' would mean for Europe's future, but were clearly not fully factoring in the risk of a 'leave' vote.
The dollar index jumped about 2 percent, its most since 2008, while sterling collapsed to a 31-year low after British Prime Minister David Cameron, who campaigned to remain in the EU, said he would stand down by October.
A rallying dollar makes oil and other commodities denominated in the greenback costlier for holders of the euro and other currencies.
Brent crude settled down 4.9 percent, or $2.50, at $48.41 a barrel. It had fallen 6 percent earlier to $47.54. U.S. crude fell 5 percent, or $2.47, to settle at $47.64, its largest one-day decline since February.
The losses were much smaller on the week, with Brent down 1.5 percent and U.S. crude 0.7 percent.
Analysts in oil markets sought to put the Brexit crisis in perspective even as some $2 trillion was wiped off equity bourses worldwide, and money poured into safe-haven gold and government bonds.
"This is an historic event and will not be swept under the rug very quickly," said Dominick Chirichella, senior partner at the Energy Management Institute in New York.
"That said, markets will not remain in turmoil as they are at the moment for an extended period of time. There is no indication that the global financial markets are anywhere near a meltdown as we saw in 2008. The UK will not collapse and the EU will not collapse anytime soon."
Despite the retreat, oil prices held above last week's one-month lows when fears of a British exit from the EU spiked and Brent hit a trough of $46.94 while U.S. crude tumbled to $45.83.
Some analysts said oil could face further pressure.
"Our view is that we have not yet seen the low oil price of the day with Brent likely to trade down towards $45 or lower before we have seen the worst of it," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodity analyst at Nordic bank SEB.
Investors paid little heed to data on Friday showing the U.S. oil rig count fell by seven this week, the first weekly reduction in four weeks.
"Higher risk aversion is likely to make it hard for prices to regain the $50 per barrel mark in anything like the near future," said Carsten Fritsch, analyst at Frankfurt's Commerzbank.


Opening a laundromat can require a good deal of start-up capital.
3 How Much Does It Cost to Start a Laundry Business?
In areas with a lot of apartment buildings or near college campuses, opening a laundromat can be a wise business venture. It can require a good deal of start-up capital to purchase machines and secure a location, but once it is up and running, the sailing should be quite a bit smoother. As long as your machines are maintained and there is always change available, you'll always be open for business.
Create a business plan for your laundromat, or have one created for you. This will be beneficial if you are seeking financing, and it can act as a guide for your day-to-day operations and long-term goals.
Decide whether you will be opening a franchise or independent laundromat. A franchise will give you more in the way of start-up and marketing support, but staying independent can mean more freedom in the long run. Also, decide if your laundromat will be fully automated or partially automated and if it will offer extra services such as folding, dropoff, pressing or food service.
Select a location. You will have to decide if you will take over an existing laundromat, or build one from scratch. Areas with a lot of foot traffic and close to bus routes are good choices. Search for a place visible from a main road and easy to get to. Try to avoid locations that are isolated and away from main sources of traffic. Obtain any necessary licenses and permits required in your state to operate a laundromat.
Purchase washing machines and dryers. Look into the benefits of buying new and used machines and decide which would fit your business best. New machines will likely require less maintenance, but will be more costly. You will also need vending machines for food, soap dispensers and machines that give change.
Market your laundromat. Try to have your storefront sign put up before you open, and include the date you will open to generate interest. Distribute fliers to your geographical area, including schools and apartment complexes.
Use a prepaid swipe card in your machines to avoid so much loose change.
Talk to laundromats you wouldn't be competing with for advice about services and procedures.
Do some serious research on the energy costs involved; laundromats eat up vast amounts of electricity and, in the event of gas-powered dryers, propane or natural gas.
Check out the energy ratings of the equipment you intend to buy.

Procreation comes before gay rights, judge says
PinkNews Staff Writer April 5, 2006
The US government's policy of promoting procreation should overrule gay rights, according to a panel of federal judges.
Judge Jerome Farris told a gay couple suing Orange County, for the right to get married, that "everything that is wrong is not discrimination."
The two men are calling California's ban on gay marriage unconstitutional because it treats gays and lesbians differently to heterosexuals.
One of the judges, Gary Taylor, ruled against their case at the US Circuit Court of Appeals, recognising the law "has a disproportionate effect on homosexual individuals," but said procreation is more important.
Mr Farris said: "I think marriage is a bundle of sticks and sticks include procreation."
Richard Gilbert, the gay couple's lawyer, said procreation is not the most important part of marriage, and one of the judges, Sidney Thomas appeared to agree.
Mr Thomas said: "I don't understand, really, the procreation argument."
The complainants, Arthur Smelt and Christopher Hammer, have vowed to take their case all the way to the Supreme Court.

In fact, marriage is not always a way out, as what Mumun, Cicah, and Ilah, tell their story in this video.

The evening commenced with Mr. Nils Boese taking the patrons through Jägermeister profile and sharing his experience with the brand. He took them on a voyage of Jägermeister history and shared some interesting insights about the company and the brand.

Recently I started using Google Analytics Custom Variables to track additional information about one of my sites. What I discovered when viewing the Custom Variables section in GA however, was that it was showing visits and not pageviews. What I wanted to see was what page each variable value was set on, and the number of pageviews it had.
Next click "Create New Segment". You will then be presented with a bunch of options of how to segment your traffic. Under "Advanced" click "Conditions". Then choose "Custom Variable (Key X)" where X is the key you used when you setup your custom variable on your site. Change the comparison operator to "exactly matches", then choose the key you used. At this point you could view your segment. However if you used multiple values for your variable, it is best to setup a segment for each value. To do this simply click the "And" button to the right of your first condition, and add a second filter with "Custom Variable (Value X)", "exactly matches" and the value of the variable in the input box. Click "Save" and you should now see results for your custom segment.
If you repeat these steps for every value of your custom variables, you can then view multiple segments and see which custom variable value performed the best.
Recently I transitioned a client from using an ec2 based MySQL server to Amazon RDS. After the migration I noticed a large number of writes to the system which was degrading the performance of MySQL. Inserts and updates were taking multiple seconds to complete, and this was on a larger sized instance than the ec2 solution.
I initially found this article that suggested changing the innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit variable to either 0 or 2 could help solve the problem. However even after this change the system was still writing extensively to disk.
I dug a little deeper and found in MySQL a large majority of queries where writing temporary tables which would explain the extensive writing to disk. After analysing the previous my.cnf file and comparing to the RDS instance I realized I failed to mirror all the variables I previously had setup. Specifically the tmp_table_size, max_heap_table_size and query_cache_size. Of the 3 the one that had the most dramatic affect on the performance and writs was the query_cache_size. After setting this variable to what the ec2 instance was using the CPU load and system writes drop substantially.
So if you run into a similar problem try tweaking your query_cache_size and see if that affects your system writes as dramatically as it did for me.
The beauty of the code is that you can trigger debugging easily by adding ?debug=1 onto your uri. This saves you from having to change the wp-config.php file, as well as solves the issue of multiple users/developers.
Note this should only be done on a development site. Having this on a live WordPress install could open up your site to be more easily exploiting as you are giving your attackers access to the notifications, warnings and errors.
I recently bought a new hard drive for my laptop. Well if you can consider 3 months ago recently. I had grand plans of installing Mac OS on the drive, and making a hackintosh of my laptop. Well I got lazy, so this brand new hard drive sat in a box, until of course this week. With an impending move to Germany, I got new motivation to install the drive, at the very least to increase my hard drive size.
One of my big issues with upgrading my hard drive was I wanted to retain all my files, and well pretty much wanted everything to work as it did before (I have multiple partitions, running primarily Ubuntu but also Windows). After a little searching, the best solution appeared to use the dd command.
Well that is simple enough. To do my hard drive upgrade I simply booted off an Ubuntu cd, opened a terminal, plugged in my new hard drive via a USB case, then ran dd. The process took around 5 hours. When it was done I swapped out my old hard drive for the new one and my system booted flawlessly.
After checking the system booted fine, I booted the Ubuntu cd one more time, then ran gparted and resized my old partitions to take advantage of the extra space of the new drive.
dd is a really simple way to mirror drives or partitions, whether for backing up or migrating to new drives. Just make sure you are absolutely sure about your input and output files to the command, because if you get the wrong, you will find yourself in tears trying to recover your data.
Lately I have been doing a lot more work in WordPress. I primarily code in Vim, and it always bugged me there was no syntax highlighting for WordPress in Vim (or at least that I could find), so I decided to write one. I started off pulling all the functions from this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference. However I found this page to be pretty incomplete, so I continued to add functions to the file as I went along.
I decided to release the file to the public in case anyone is looking for WordPress syntax highlighting. Note, by no means is this file complete, but is a good base. Feel free to contact me to fill in any functions I am missing.
Today I launched the an updated version of FauquierCam.com. I redid the design of the page so it looks a lot cleaner, as well added a blog to showcase notable pictures and videos from the camera. You can check it out at: http://www.fauquiercam.com.
At the beginning of this year I announced the launch of a webcam I had setup at my parents house in the Kootenays. In the announcement I talked briefly how the whole application worked, however wanted to get into more technical details here.
The mini Compaq computer is located at my parents place sitting in their sun room. It is connected to the Internet, as well via a USB cable it is connected to the Canon A310 camera, which is setup on a small tripod pointing out my parents window.
On the server a cron is setup to run a script every 5 minutes. The script will determine if there is daylight enough outside to take a photo, and there is it will execute a gphoto2 command that will trigger the camera to take a photo and download the image to the computer. Once the image is on the computer it is then FTP'ed to my dedicated server for processing.
A cron is setup on my dedicated server for a script that checks an incoming folder for newly uploaded images. When a new image is found, it will process the image, creating several different file sizes, upload each file to Amazon S3 for storage and distribution through Amazon Cloudfront, and store a record of the image in a MySQL database.
Finally I have a web front end that reads from the database to display the latest photo, along with an archive of all the older photos that had been taken. Lets de-construct each step in the process to document how it all works.
The wonderful open source library gphoto2 does most of the work here. Gphoto2 allows you to control a camera in Linux via the command line. There is a large list of cameras on the gphoto2 website that are supported. Since I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this project I bought an old Canon camera that was noted to work well with gphoto2.
On the mini computer at my parents a cron executes a PHP script every 5 minutes. The PHP script first checks to see if there are any other instances of gphoto2 running, if there are it exits. Next it determines at what time sunset and sunrise is, and if the time of day is between those two times as we don't want to take photos of the darkness of night. Next the script checks to see if it is in the first 15 of sunrise, or last 15 minutes of sunset, if so we want to use a higher ISO on the camera to take the photo. Finally the gphoto2 script is called to take the photo.
I will leave you to discover what all the flags do when calling the gphoto2 command, however would like to point out the –hook-script flag. What this flag does is call a script after the newly taken image has been downloaded from the camera to the computer. Thus we are able to call a second script that will upload our new photo to our server. This script is extremely basic and uses the standard linux FTP command.
As you can see, a really basic script that simply checks to see if the file was downloaded and if so to upload via ftp to our dedicated server.
I wanted to point out one final flag of gphoto2 before moving on to the dedicated server processing. An extremely handy flag when using gphoto2 with a new camera is the –list-config flag. This will tell you all the different config items of the camera you can set when using gphoto2.
On the dedicated server images are being uploaded to an incoming folder to be processed by another script. The processing script will scan the incoming folder looking for new images. Before processing an image, the script will check to make sure the image has not been written to within 20 seconds of the current time to make sure that the photo currently not being uploaded.
Once it is determined that the photo is not being uploaded we can process the image. The processing is done using the GD PHP extension, then uploaded to Amazon S3 using undesigned's fantastic S3 PHP library. Finally the image information is stored in a MySQL database table.
With this script running on a cron we can now process any new file that gets uploaded to our server, upload it to Amazon S3, and log it in our database. With the photos now stored in the database we can easily setup a simple homepage to display the latest photo, and produce an archive of photos taken over time.
With the help of a few powerful open source programs and libraries and a small bit of hardware we are able to easily setup a camera that takes a photo every 5 minutes, and posts it to the Internet. You can view the webcam I setup at www.fauquiercam.com. In the future I will extend the processing further such that after every day, week, or month a time lapse is generated using mencoder.
Today I have a guest post featured on Yahoo's YUI Blog talking about implementing YUI components on the Car Rental Express website (the company I work for). It is a general overview of some of the components we utilize the most and why we chose to use them.
After using the ec2-consistent-snapshot script for a while I realized I would eventually need to find something to rotate these backups as they were growing out of control. Some of our volumes were having snapshots done every hour, and that was adding up quickly. Google provided me with no easy solution for rotating the snapshots, so I decided to write my own script.
Essentially what I wanted was to have a script that would rotate the snapshots in Grandfather-Father-Son type setup. I wanted to have hourly backups kept for 24 hours, daily kept for a week, weekly kept for a month, and monthly kept for a year. Anything older than that I don't want, however the script can be tweaked to allow for older backups.
For a given volume organize the snapshots so that there are only hourly snapshots for 1 day, daily snapshots for 1 week, weekly snapshots for 1 month, and monthly snapshots for 1 year and collect which snapshots require deleting.
Delete the snapshots that are set for delete.
I wrote the script in PHP, mainly because it is what I feel most comfortable using. I am also once again using the Amazon PHP library. Here is the script in it's entirety.
You can either run the script by editing the call to rotate_standard_volume. You can call this method for each volume you wish to rotate snapshots for. Also feel free to change the values of the date ranges to keep snapshots for a given date range for longer or shorter periods.
Finally to make this script effective you should have it run at least once a day via cron.
If you are like me and utilize EBS snapshots for backups of your data you will likely need to rotate those snapshots at some point. With the script above you should be able to quickly and easily rotate your snapshots. With a few tweaks you should be able to easily customize the rotation schedule to suit your needs.

Today, we are living in the first generation in human history where because of the miracle of global satellite television technology, people in every country on the planet will be able "see" the prophecies of the Bible come true before their very eyes.
In Mathew 24:33, Jesus answered His Disciples and said: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Notice Jesus said "when you SEE ALL these things" - this is the generation that will see all prophecy fulfilled.
He literally means seeing, i.e. through webcams, videos, computers etc.
What are ALL the things we shall SEE?
Mathew 24:7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Ezekiel 39:21-29: And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Did you catch that? "All" the heathen shall "SEE" God's judgment and He will set His glory among the heathen.
Other generations did not have have the ability to SEE or know of earthquakes and disease on the other side of the world.
Jesus tells us these things will start out slowly like birth pangs and accelerate to apocalyptic levels. When this happens (and they are accelerating), we'll have a sign the end is near.
Why would Jesus use the examples of SEEing the evil one from field or rooftop?
How would you SEE the Antichrist, dead Pope John Paul ll standing in the holy place from a field?
With a mobile device i.e. smartphone? Could it be that this prophecy couldn't happen until we had mobile devices throughout the world?
The Antichrist, dead Pope John Paul ll will have his arrival in a UFO and conquest of Jerusalem streamed live to the internet - for all to see and hear his declaration that he is greater than the God of the universe. (2 Thessalonians 2).
Mathew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
All will be required to take a mark of the beast to buy or sell. (Rev 13:16). With so many people in the world today, we need computers to keep track of everyone - and the New World Order's synagogue of Satan (Vatican) controlled governments are doing this already.
We will all see the Antichrist, dead Pope John Paul ll standing in the holy place.
People will feel very afraid and very much alone right up until the Lord shows His mighty hand. Then even those who are are not believers in Jesus Christ will know and see the Power of God Almighty.
Ezekiel 39:22: So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.

This year, the upcoming release of Clos Apalta was awarded 100 points by James Suckling, with Sena and Almaviva scoring in the high nineties. This year, Eduardo Chadwick – the man at the helm of both Sena and Chadwick – was awarded Decanter Man of the Year 2018, whilst James Suckling in his latest Andes Report states that these wines "are great wines by all standards and rank among the best wines of the world, even when compared against classical regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy".
The success of Chilean wine has in some ways been a bit of a double-edged sword. Whilst international success has produced some highly profitable and ever growing estates, their dominance in the market has left smaller producers largely off the export radar.
Being ideally situated between the Pacific ocean and the Andes mountains, Chilean vineyards are provided with incredibly reliable weather, high levels of sunshine and no concerns about drought due to year-round access to irrigated snow melt from the Andes. The Pacific also creates cool breezes and mists – slowing down the ripening of the grapes, necessary to create complex flavours.
The high level of reliable sunshine hours and general low levels of disease enable quality wine grapes to be grown at an industrial level. Grapes are so perfectly suited to the climate, the model for most in Chile is to simply grow as much as possible. This has been great for the export of Chilean wines around the world, arguably providing the best quality wines at the lower price points. But historically, the success of the lower end has detracted attention away from Chile's potential to produce world class wines, particularly from smaller growers.
The high production levels achieved in Chile have naturally led to huge contraction of producers who dominate the Chilean landscape. Some of them have successfully ventured into the premium fine wine market, investing in vineyards at higher altitudes, which cost more to produce than the valley floor, but produce more complex wines. Producers such as Eduardo Chadwick's Errazuriz, Concha Y Toro (the winery behind Almaviva) and Viña Lapostelle (Clos Apalta) have invested in the region, taking Chilean wine quality level up another notch. These estates have managed to produce good quality inexpensive wine sold practically everywhere, excellent mid-tier wine for the drinkers looking for more depth and complexity, and are now producing top-tier, world class wines that in professional blind tastings have beaten classics such as Lafite, Margaux and Latour.
The success of these large estates investing in the potential of Chile is a worthy effort that should be applauded, but due to the huge resources at their fingertips, their success dominates much of the news that comes out of Chile when it comes to fine wine. There are however a number of smaller operations that are producing some incredibly exciting wines that are fighting for the world's attention but so far have yet to effectively reach a wider audience.
With smaller yields and less financial liquidity, this is unlikely to change anytime soon, but readers should keep an eye out for some of these lesser known fine wines from Chile. Winemakers such as Pedro Parra and Francois Massoc (the men behind the wines from Aristos and Clos des Fous) have been garnering praise from a number of critics.
Others have returned to producing wines from more traditional varietals, those associated with the region prior to the new wave of international varieties taking over in the 1980s onwards. Simonit&Sirch's Pruninguys (dedicated to preserving old vines throughout the world's great vineyards) are working with growers in the region to preserve ancient Pais vines – ungrafted vines that are 120 years old. Some of these vines look more like trees! Whilst a lot of wines made from Pais have been on the rustic side, some growers are starting to produce some fascinating examples of the varietal, often used in field blends with varieties such as Carignan and Cinsault.
While these next few weeks will be dominated by the release of the now well-established iconic Chilean wines of Sena, Chadwick, Clos Apalta and Almaviva (which should not be missed!), watch out for lesser-known releases from the likes of Aristos and Clos des Fous becoming available in the new year.

Watch: Airlines – "Colors" (Cluster 1 Premiere)
April 27, 2011 | 5:24pm ET
Psychedelic rockers Airlines recently released the four-track EP Visions on February 1st and are now ready to give fans a glimpse at the video for the effort's first single, "Colors". The three-minute clip is a DayGlo montage of all things Americana that was originally created for the country's 1976 bicentennial by animator Vince Collins. Coupled with the track's syncopated rhythms, Airlines has managed to turn a simple piece of animation into an infectious music video. One that's vibrant and bright, just like the sunny state of California where this quintet calls home.
Check out the video for "Colors" over at Cluster 1. You can also peep the full tracklist for the Visions EP below.

Remember the touted Snapdragon 675-powered Xiaomi phone? Well, rumors say it could be the Redmi Pro 2, a direct successor to 2016's Redmi Pro. The Redmi Pro 2, if released, would be the top of the line Redmi phone.
There have been rumors of a new Xiaomi phone in the works. The device is expected to be powered by the new Snapdragon 675 and also to feature Sony's new 48 MP IMX586 sensor that is slowly making its way unto a number of smartphones. According to word on the grapevine, that Xiaomi phone could very well be the Redmi Pro 2.
Xiaomi released the Redmi Pro two years ago and failed to follow it up with a successor last year. Finally coming up with a sequel will be sure to make fans of the original phone happy. For some context, the Redmi Pro was the top of the line Redmi device at the time. It was the first Xiaomi phone with two rear cameras and was powered by the Helio X20, MediaTek's premium SoC at the time.
The purported Redmi Pro 2 will attempt to build on that and while we don't know much about it, the rumors of a 48 MP camera and Snapdragon 675 would make it the best-specced Redmi phone on offer. A Redmi Pro 2 would likely be priced under US$250, providing an ideal option for those not looking to shell out US$100 more for the Mi 8.


If you are following along, this is the third post in a series about our trip to the beautiful country of Belize. See here for a riveting post about our adventure to Mayan ruins. Here are a few final notes about our Mayan trek I feel I must leave with you.
A stone's throw from the dock where we caught the boat is a three-acre riverfront property for sale. It boasts several outbuildings, houses, and a nice looking boat dock. The asking price is $800,000. The developer of the McAfee Anti-virus software, John McAfee, is the owner and he is motivated to sell. You would be too if you were on the run from the law for the alleged murder of your Belizean neighbor.
Spitting distance the other direction from the boat dock is a Belizean dichotomy, or maybe someone's idea of an insensitive joke. A rehab center sits next door to a rum distillery. Really? Must one rub a poor abuser's nose in the temptation of a midnight run next door for a rum and Coke?
On a side note, the rehab center is in need of some major rehab itself.
Remember the helpful cab driver who played our tour guide/historian? While we did the Mayan ruin tour, he apparently did a tour of the local bars and came back schnockered. On the drive back to our hotel, he drifted into on-coming traffic, passed buses with reckless abandon, and I watched him in the rearview mirror as his eyelids grew heavy and he nodded off to sleep. My husband spoke sharply to the driver and that sobered him up a bit. We made it back to the hotel safely and just in time for our own stiff drink.
On another side note, if you are tempted to climb a Mayan ruin, may I suggest you enter an Olympic training program for at least one year prior to your climb? My legs were sore for days afterward making the simple process of standing up an Olympic event.
I leave you with some Belizean signs that made me chuckle.
I like how Belizeans think.
Those Belizeans are ever so polite.
Paris is a mere 4,641 mile swim from Belize.
As a teaser to what is coming up next in this adventure, here is a shot of the un-Belize-able view from our island resort. The view would be a heck of a lot better if I could figure out how to Photoshop me out of it.
Love those signs. I'm in agreement about no working during drinking hours. We can't take the fun out of everything!
This will have to be my next trip! My soon to be ex in-laws continue to tell me to come back to the islands (Bahamas) since I seem a bit stressed out (no you think?). But I am thinking no, not right now. Belize seems like a good choice.
How can sun and sand not be your kind of thing? It was paradise! Add a good book and a cocktail and it was heaven on earth.
It's always nice to be pleasantly advised of things rather than instructed! Beautiful resort picture at the bottom there! We couldn't work out whether the pool is painted different shades of blue, or whether they are shadows?
I believe the pool tiles were different shades of blue. However, when I study the photo, I can't be sure. Therefore, I must go back to learn the truth for myself.
How are things at your blog? Get lots of traffic after your post yesterday?
Atta girl. You are a glass-half-full kinda gal!
Hilarious signs, Robin! The water looks like you photoshopped directly from Crayola's big box of blues!!!
Exactly right. Mother Nature used all her favorite blues when she designed the oceans of Belize.
You have the natural, travel essay wit of Bill Bryson. I think you have found your literary calling, my friend!
What a lovely compliment. Have you been drinking?
My tipsy compliments are every bit as sincere as my sober ones!
What? Murder is illegal in Belize? Whoda thunk it?
They are funny that way.
Some things are the same regardless of geography: Cabbies are highly unpredictable creatures.
Your continued survival pleases me, Robin.
And your snapshots are awesome, by the way!
Thanks, Hook. The photos barely capture the beauty of Belize. The water is so blue it almost hurts your eyes.
It is either laugh in the face of danger or cry like a baby! I usually cry like a baby.
I am beginning to wish that my friend and I had chosen a resort. I will only have 8 hours in Belize City, and you have shown me such more to do! Awesome!
All the more reason to go back to Belize. I'll go with you.
Near death experiences make for good stories! But seriously, my legs were soooooo sore I could barely walk up the stairs to the hotel bar. But nothing as mundane as sore muscles can come between me and a good rum drink.
I could use some dessert….
Desserts instead of stressed would be good.
Fortunately, Belize is still reasonably priced. Unlike Hawaii where a cup of coffee and a piece of toast costs $35. I hope you get there! I'm available as a travel companion . . . I'm happy to carry your bags.
Wow, and it looks like you had that view all to yourself. Stunning.
Aside from the staff, there were only about 25 other guests at the resort. It was our own deserted island. Breathtaking.
Okay, the island is sounding good…maybe well just skip the ruins and taxi ride.
Photo shop couldn't make it any better.
We had serious doubts about whether we would make it back to the hotel in one piece. My husband was close to asking the driver to pull over. We complained to the hotel who arranged for the driver and they just shrugged. I think she thought we were uptight Americans.
We Americans can be so fussy.

Not only will you face a fine from $1000 to $2500, you may receive a sentence of up to 12 months in jail or one to five years in prison. Regardless, you will have a mandatory minimum sentence of six months and receive an indefinite license suspension.

Q: Splitting Ansible output into 2 different strings I have the following on my playbook:
- name: Debug
  debug:
     msg: "{{ item.stdout }}"
  with_items:
     - "{{ tapip.results }}"
     - "{{ hostname.results }}"

Which returns me this:
TASK [Debug] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=None) => {
    "msg": "192.168.0.104"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=None) => {
    "msg": "hostname1"
}
I would like to break the hostname and ip into 2 different strings. What is the best way to achieve this?
btw, I have also tried the following:
- name: Debug
  debug:
     msg: "{{ item.stdout.0 }} {{ item.stdout.1 }}"
  with_items:
     - "{{ tapip.results }}"
     - "{{ hostname.results }}"

Which returns this:
TASK [Debug] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=None) => {
    "msg": "1"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=None) => {
    "msg": "h"
}
Any ideas would be appreciated

A: Try this

*

*name: Debug
debug:
 msg: "{{ item.stdout }}"
with_items:

*

*tapip.results

*hostname.results

A: *

*name: Debug
debug:
 msg: "{{ item.stdout }}"
with_items:

*

*tapip.results

*hostname.results

PRINT December 1992
"The Wonderful World of Hobbies"—the title of Mans Wrange's latest show—suggested a world of mild madness, obsessiveness, eccentricity, and dilettantism. As usual, Wrange's installation was comprised of a number of short narratives. The characters this time around were four fictional hobbyists, each representing a particular type of "mania": first, a systematic collector of used chewing gum, who has placed his findings—about 400 specimens—in handsome shallow vitrines of patined wood. From a distance, the gum looks like a collection of minerals, or of rubble. The hobbyist himself, however, is said to view them as "internal portraits": he believes that these rather amorphous indexical traces of the chewers' mouths constitute revealing portraits of their characters.
Next was the "sound freak," a ham radio operator who collects radio programs from all over the world and has made from them an implosive, noisy space called The Global Radio (all works 1992). Shiny antennas stand out from the wood-paneled walls in this room, a mad and pathetic version of the global village, where everything is heard but nothing said. Wrange's third hobbyist was a traveling salesman who spends more time in his company-owned car than he does at home; to make his car more homelike, he has begun embroidering its seats, but instead of buying ready-made patterns (which can be quite expensive), he uses diagrams from his work. The result is a multicolored set of "statistical car-cushions." With black humor and irony, Wrange here pinpoints a paradoxical aspect of the hobby: supposedly something we love to do in our spare time, it at the same time tends to continue the disciplinary structures of our working lives. This free activity is saturated with self-inflicted compulsion.
The fourth hobbyist—the egocentric—has never been able to free himself from a certain childhood experience: when, as a boy, he rode a train, he always believed that it wasn't the train that moved but the landscape. To recreate this delusion of his childhood, he has built an inverted model railway where the landscape circles around a stationary train. This hilarious metaphor for a self-centered universe was probably the best piece in the show.
What interests Wrange is not so much the folkloric or anthropological aspects of hobbies; it is the hobby as a kind of stylized figure of thought, and as a middle ground or twilight zone between work and leisure, creation and convention, success and failure. I suspect, though, that the four fictional hobbyists can also be read as rather mean "portraits" of well-known artistic strategies: the indexical, the media-oriented, the sociological, and the self-expressive. Whatever the case, this installation of Wrange's was his most entertaining yet.
—Lars O. Ericsson
