The ACT government is considering charging a new levy on businesses which dump waste.

The aim is to make dumping less cheap relative to recycling. Officials are working out how high the levy should be to make it work - too high and it's a heavy burden on business; too low and it's not a disincentive to throwing stuff out. On top of that, if any new charge on dumping in the ACT is too high, the waste will get carried to where it's cheaper - like over the border to NSW. NSW already has a scheme with a variable waste disposal levy across the state. Each tonne of rubbish costs the dumper $140 but that amount drops as you move away from Sydney. In the areas of NSW immediately around the ACT, landfills don't levy trucking companies for dumping rubbish. The public wouldn't pay the levy on waste dumping directly but the expectation is that if, for example, a builder did work on your property, the price would incorporate the disposal of the rubbish. And that adds a further complexity: if the ACT has too high a levy, officials recognise that companies thinking of locating here might be put off investing. No final structure has been decided nor a time frame but the number crunching and economic analysis are already underway. One option is just to charge each truck that turns up at a landfill dump - the trucking company pays the levy no matter how far the load has come - and the bill is passed on to the original dumper. But that might encourage companies from far away to just take loads to whichever dump proves cheapest, weighing transport costs against the levy. The other option is to have a register of waste disposal companies and bill them according to the weight of the load and how far it travels. This method would deter companies from trucking waste across states to the lowest cost dump but would be more bureaucratic. Queensland is to bring in a levy on dumping in 2019 because companies in NSW, where there's already a levy, were transporting rubbish north to dump at the cheaper option. When the Queensland decision was made, business groups said the levy would be another burden that would squeeze their profits. Opposition politicians there said that the cost would fall on ordinary people. "This tax will hit every industry from construction to manufacturing, tourism and hospitality because it will cost more for businesses to dispose of their waste," one said.

ACT officials say they will talk to all the people and groups which might be affected, including in New South Wales.

New ACT levy on dumping waste?
The ACT government is considering charging a new levy on businesses which dump waste.
Households would be exempt, but waste from businesses such as builders and restaurants would be subject to the new charge.
The idea is to make the dumping of refuse more expensive to try to deter businesses from taking it to landfill sites and to recycle instead.

As a youngster, Leeroy into punk music, thanks to his big sister's fascination with The Buzzcocks, The Clash, etc. He also went through a mod phase. Electrician/handyman Leeroy spent his spare time at raves in Essex during the early 90s. It was here he met Keith, and the two became known as a little 'double-act', both with unique dancing styles. He picked up his dancing skills through being a fan of James Brown and similar related acts. Leeroy, possibly the least known member of the main four, happens to be the most crucial member to the Prodigy's existance, says Liam. His first ever solo work - the Dreamer EP - was released back in 1996 on limited edition vinyl. The title track has since found its way to the internet, via The Earthbound Network. He currently sports a chin-stud and is very tall indeed! He is the only member of the band who likes soccer. Although the band are Playstation addicts, Leeroy must certainly be the one with the most well-worn thumbs! Leeroy Thornhill is the quick footed, fast dancing phenomenon of The Prodigy. He has got some mad skillz when it comes to dancing. He picked up a lot of great moves from James Brown. He'd listen and watch James Brown in action 'til the cows came home, and eventually he'd have his own kind of dance. Although most of his great moves aren't seen in any of the latest videos released by Prodigy, they were showed in earlier videos such as Everybody In the Place and No Good. His unorthodox method of dancing can also be seen while performing live.
Leeroy had enough of staying in the background, and being prominent only on stage, so he started to work on his own and record some solo material. He has only released one EP called Dreamers under the pseudonym The Longman (referring to his height of about 2 meters). The single contains the following tracks: Dreamers, The Suspect, The Smoker, Rock It. The following excerpt is from a MixMag article: "He also provided a track for Kris Needs' 'Needs Must' compilation and laid down a remix for fellow Essex ravers Shades of Rhythm.
As the group prankster, Leeroy often plays cruel tricks on his fellow Prodigarians. One night. However, after drinking very heavily, the other members were able to gain revenge on his endless stories and locking-out incidents. With a video camera rolling, they stripped him, spun him on the floor, poured liquid on him and tormented him while he had no means to fight back.

NASA Caught In Mind Blowing Temperature Fraud In Greenland

The Apollo Mission hoaxes, The International Space Station hoax, The Space Shuttle disaster hoax and it goes on and on and on.
Whether the fraud is big or small NASA thinks they can fool them all.
It seems the Khazarian Satanists of NASA are also the bagmen for the global warming fraud. Here's CGI images of Greenland purportedly melting, referenced in the article below about the Fraudulent Greenland Meltdown. I can't tell if these images are even CGI they're so bad. Maybe it's crayon or possibly a sharpie?
GHCN temperatures for Nuuk, Greenland show a sharp cooling trend over the past decade, of more than 3°C
[url=file:///Users/benwellesley/Downloads/html 2/threads/826.html]ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/daily/all/GL000004250.dly[/url]
NASA data is based on GHCN, so it should be the same. But they don't show much cooling over the past decade.
They accomplished this through a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering, which has raised recent temperatures more than 2.5 degrees relative to the 1960's.
But the fraud is much worse than it seems. Over the past four years, GISS has also wiped out Greenland's warm past. Greenland is much cooler now than it was 75 years ago, and NASA has to hide that fact in order to keep their fraudulent Greenland meltdown story intact.
NASA GISS data is managed by Gavin Schmidt of RealClimate, whose other most famous member is fraudster Michael E Mann.

Lately NASA has been releasing "satellite" information which suggests that Antarctica is growing. They actually try to argue that there is more ice because it is *warmer*, which apparently is causing more ice to melt and then refreeze. WTF? www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/antarctic-sea-ice-reaches-new-record-maximum
This is on top of the 18-year "pause" in global warming... Meanwhile, Obama is saying that "climate change deniers" are a threat to "national security." Are they just intentionally making the lies obvious, like with the Boston smoke bombing and other recent false flags, to fuel the "climate change" distraction?

I have a basic idea of global warming being a hoax, but I haven't really looked into it to see the "other side". But I didn't put much stock into GW because it seems to me from what little I know, earth has been warming and cooling in cycles for millions of years...Anyway, I went to youtube looking for videos, and I watched one and started watching a second one, but then I noticed in the comments people were throwing out "shill", which I'm still not certain what that means, but I've seen you guys mention it here, so I wondered if I was watching the wrong ones and decided to come ask, lol. Also, I'm looking for info about the existence and/or purpose of CERN. I have only read about some machine they supposedly built to "recreate the big bang in a test tube", but I'm thinking if they don't have space technology, or nukes, then they probably wouldn't have that technology either. So, GW and CERN.....Information would be appreciated

There is no denying that the entire 'Climate Change' campaign is a complete hoax, designed to scare the public and to allow 'green' taxes.
There have never been more polar bears than we have now, and the ice is not melting at the pole, in fact there is more ice this year than last year. There have been no recorded rises in global temperature since 1997. The whole 'global warming' concept is a complete scam.
Scientists need funding, and if they publish climate change papers, based on false evidence, they get paid big money to do so.
Watch the documentary 'The Greenhouse Conspiracy'. It is a British documentary made by Channel 4 in 1990, and it fully revealed the entire fraud that was to come. It highlighted how they move the temperature monitors into hotter, inner city areas in order to make it look like the entire planet is warming.
A few years ago, emails from the University of Ipswich were leaked. The University supplies most of the information that the UN uses, released under the banner of the IPCC. The emails revealed that all of the scientists know and admit in private that they are lying, that they have no evidence and that they are fraudulent. It also revealed how bitter and hate filled they were to anyone who correctly outed them for their nonsense.

"The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through
changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically "adjusted" to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified.
Two weeks ago, under the headline "How we are being tricked by flawed data on global warming", I wrote about Paul Homewood, who, on his Notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, had checked the published temperature graphs for three weather stations in Paraguay against the temperatures that had originally been recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a marked warming.

Thank you for posting the TED video, it completely destroys the concept of constants in science. The "speed of light" and the "big G" are shown up as complete fantasies.
Thanks for the links Ha! GW is just part of Agenda 21? How did I not put that together? It seems that everything leads back to it. And the more it concretes with me, the more disgusted I am that there are people in the world who think like that. :/
If anyone out there is still taken in by Al Gore's convenient lie, namely man-made "global" warming, take a look at these two documentaries which show how this fraud is meant to instigate the first ever world-wide tax, a UN carbon tax paid to the same international banksters engineering the current economic bust. Above is Global Warming or Global Governance? below is The Great Global Warming Swindle.
Climate-Gate: Hackers Expose Global Warming Fraud
Last week hackers broke into emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University which expose deceit, duplicity and collusion between climate researchers to maintain the fraud of the manmade global warming theory. They found that supposed "scientific researchers" were plotting to shut out dissenting editors from peer-reviewed journal boards, falsify data, and manipulate the submission of papers.
Among the thousands of emails and documents hacked or leaked from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University last week are several references to an agenda to shut down scientific debate on global warming by stifling counter-evidence from other scientists. Dating back to 1996, the emails show that both U.S. and U.K. based scientists referred to any research offering alternate viewpoints as "disinformation", "misinformation", or "crap", that needs to be kept out of the public domain. The emails include deliberations amongst the scientists regarding efforts to make sure that reports from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change include their own research and exclude that of dissenting scientists. In one of the emails, Phil Jones, the director of the East Anglia climate center, suggested to climate scientist Michael Mann of Penn State University We "will keep them out somehow - even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!"
For anyone who believes the media/IPCC hype that "all" scientists agree that Earth is warming and it's due to human carbon emissions, please take a look at The Oregon Petition. This petition has been signed by over 31,000 climatologists and meteorologists (vs. the IPCC's 2,500, half of whom are just UN bureaucrats) stating that "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."
Knee-jerk ridicule, just like they've been taught to do about GW and FE:

Tampering with the data.
Scientist who advocates prosecuting climate skeptics 'paid himself & his wife $1.5 million from govt climate grants for part-time work'
From 2012-2014, the leader of the 20-scientist effort to prosecute climate skeptics under RICO reportedly paid himself and his wife $1.5 million from government climate grants for part-time work.
George Mason University Professor Jagadish Shukla, a Lead Author with the UN IPCC, reportedly made lavish profits off the global warming industry while accusing climate skeptics of deceiving the public.
Shukla is leader of 20 scientists who are demanding RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) charges be used against skeptics for disagreeing with their view on climate change.
Shukla reportedly moved his government grants through a 'non-profit'. The group "pays Shukla and wife Anne $500,000 per year for part-time work," Prof. Roger Pielke Jr. revealed.
"The $350,000-$400,000 per year paid leader of the RICO20 from his 'non-profit' was presumably on top of his $250,000 per year academic salary," Pielke wrote. "That totals to $750,000 per year to the leader of the RICO20 from public money for climate work and going after skeptics. Good work if you can get it," Pielke Jr. added.

From childhood you're told to beLIEve about the Earth using gases called the atmosphere to trap heat from the
Sun, keeping it from escaping into the far reaches of OUTER SPACE.
Everywhere across the face of the Earth, the Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates, that hot flows to cold; that
is until we go above the Stratopause, up into the realm of the NASAsphere; then heat can flow in both directions!
Temperatures in the NASAsphere continue to climb, reaching as high as (3,600°F)

The Global Warming Obsession
Rests on Acceptance of Billions of Years of Evolutionism
The global warming hoax, like so many other hoaxes, clearly has its obvious motives, including the standard bearers of fear based control and financial parasitism, but......
"The real story behind the increasingly impassioned rhetoric of global warming advocates is very different from "the sky is falling" arguments about melting glaciers and all the rest."(1)
"The pressure from the all-knowing "Theoretical Science Idol" is what is driving all the hype. The USA has been a holdout on bowing to some of the dictates of this Idol--most especially on the issue of evolutionism--and this global warming concept is handcuffed to that "theory". Indeed, its climatological models are based on an earth that has allegedly been evolving for over four and a half Billion years."(1)
"Never mind that historical records plainly show that comparable warming periods--and "little ice ages"--are cyclical phenomena, not doomsday scenarios.
Never mind that the same ozone patterns have been around since anybody started looking.
Never mind that the elevation of the Maldives Islands out of the Indian Ocean (av. 3 ft.) has not measurably changed in spite of all the hoopla about how much the icecaps have melted and how coastal cities around the world will be flooded in fifty years."(1)
"So why is the political, scientific, and economic offensive to get the USA on board with the Kyoto agenda so intense? Just about everyone agrees that profit-driven corporations, etc., will pollute land and sea if they aren't controlled by law. So such control is not the real motivation behind this Global Warming Obsession."(1)
"The "Global Warming" issue's real importance lies in its name, i.e., it is GLOBAL in its outreach!
"As the world of sovereign nation states morphs into a global economic, cultural, and soon-to-be political and religious system, the long-hidden chief goal behind all of it comes into focus. That over-riding goal, that long-sought but now achievable political triumph over nation states is, above all else, religious. And not just religious, as we shall see, but specifically anti-Bible, anti-Christian religious."(1)
"Global Warming is one among many deceptions aimed at securing a final victory for a Religion that has one overriding goal which it is achieving through its control of the "theoretical" science establishment: That goal is the final destruction of all remaining resistance (in the USA particularly) to the acceptance of billions of years of Evolution as the one true "scientific" factor of how all that exists came to be as it is."(1)
"Once faith in the evolutionary explanation for the origin of all that exists is established in people's minds, there are two and only two belief systems available that will take hold and color every aspect of such a believer's life: First: They can become atheists, believing in no religion or "god", but solely in random chance "evolution". Second: They can accept some New Age "Force" or little g'd or g'ds which have worked with or "used" billions of years of evolution to create all that is, including mankind, (but belief in the God of the Bible Creationism is not an option)."(1)
"Since the Truth about the Origin of all things is unarguably the foundation of all knowledge, it is certain that the entry of the evolution-dependent "Global Warming" Model into the Origins Sweepstakes is quite different from what its propaganda is telling us."(1)
"Indeed, one needn't dig very deep to determine that the now famous Al Gore documentary scaring the bejabbers out of everybody with its doomsday ice-melting, oceans-rising scenario, has as many critics from the world of science and politics and economics as it has supporters. We just aren't hearing from the critics as much."(1)
"The money and prestige stakes in all this are enormous, of course, but "evolution science" is the real beneficiary. It stands to score three big home runs, namely: 1) Resistance to evolutionism in the USA, etc., will be further weakened; 2) Resistance to the Global Warming agenda and environmentalist extremism in the USA, etc., will be dealt a hard blow; 3) Another hard blow will be dealt to Bible Credibility regarding it's plain teaching of a Creator God."(1)
"This brings us to those big questions growing out of the "billions of years" that are the lifeblood of evolutionism. Followed by their answers, they are:
Q) What religion and what science are providing those eons of time?
A) Writing in Kabbala in the 1st century A.D., Pharisee Kabbalist Nechunya ben HaKanna--using a 42 letter name for g'd--determined the age of the universe to be 15.3 billion years. This is the same age that is in today's textbooks. Other concepts of today's Pharisaic cosmology (relativity, heliocentricity, Big Bang, expanding universe, superstrings, parallel universes) are found in 13th, 16th, 20th century Kabbalist writings.
Q) Does this Pharisee religion and this Kabbalist "science" have a g'd; or is it atheistic? Or, can it be either so long as it keeps the billions of years of evolution??
A) As long as the billions of years of evolution are retained, this Religion with its mystic Kabbala writings can accommodate both atheists and any g'd or g'ds or "Force", etc., just so long as the God of the Biblical six day creation is eliminated."(1)
"When Global Warming Zealots point to a host of "scientists" who support their dire warnings, they are not only pointing to scientists who are strong believers in the evolution model that encompasses billions of years of climatological change on the earth, they are pointing with equal conviction to a universe that is many billions of years OLDER than the earth."(1)
"What they have not known (or have ignored!) is that a BIG FACT has emerged in the last dozen years or so which puts an entirely new face on everything that is dependent upon or otherwise connected with "evolution science". That fact tells the world: a) That a 15 billion year old cosmos is the first of several indispensable concepts that make up today's Big Bang Cosmology, and; b) That it and ALL of the other essential concepts have their source in century's old "holy Rabbinic writings" found in the mystic Kabbala, and; c) That those concepts, i.e., these Kabbalist "holy writings", constitute today's textbook cosmology which is an alternate, contra-Biblical (and contra-Koranic) "creation or origins scenario"."(1)
"This "scenario" has been conceived and nurtured in secret over many centuries by Pharisee Kabbalist Sages, and has been erected by a Theoretical Science Establishment made up of conspicuously Kabbalist-friendly "scientists" in all fields of "knowledge". Moreover, this whole masquerade--which has deceived the world into believing its "science" was entirely secular, but which doesn't have a secular bone in its body--has now been taught todo el mundo to be the scientific cornerstone of all "knowledge" with public funds. What a trick! What a deal!"(1)
"Clearly, this now-out-of-the-closet fact automatically re-labels and transfers all of the "science" that is based on billions of years of evolutionism into a new category. All such "science" is automatically re-labeled and transferred out of the "secular" science category of information into a "religious" category of information. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this re-labeling of evolutionary "science". Scientists--and all the rest of us--have been taught that "evolution science" is "secular" science with no "religious" agenda or source or connection of any sort. We now know that all of that teaching was wrong."(1)

I have lived in my current city for at least a decade, and in the last few years I've watched a significant change in climate during the summer months. Summers here used to be overcast, wet and windy. Then in 2013, the summers switched to perfect blue skies everyday and an oppressive heat like nothing before.
We know they have the power to control the weather through ionospheric heaters and chemical spraying by planes. And "climate change" is their explanation for weather abnormalities.
We keep hearing about how the Antarctic ice sheets are melting and causing severe changes. What if they are using HAARP to break open the Antarctic ice barrier?

Personally I think that attempts at Geo-engineering are real. It is being researched, funded and put into practice. Does it work? Is it all just fakery like NASA? Could be.
Global Warming / Climate change is a hoax to extract money from us through guilt association. So maybe they just need the "geo-engineering to skew the data and reinforce the scam.

I think extorting money for climate change is a good opportunity, but perhaps not the underlying motive. If you controlled the Fed, why not endlessly deposit digital currency into your bank account? Just add zeroes. (As long as you don't cause hyper-inflation). By comparison, a climate tax seems a bit petty.
It was just an anecdote that some people might relate to. I'm not assuming there is a permanent change in climate, but rather a pattern of unusual weather. Remember the recent heat wave in New York, and the heat wave in Europe in 2003 (which killed 50,000+ people).

Each cosy hideaway entrance has been finished in beautifully soft plush and the tope bedding area is great for perching and watching the world go by. It has also been fitted with a beautifully soft filling to add to the experience.
At 120cm tall, this is a mighty construction that will make your kitty feel on top of the world!


As some of you may know, Jason Morse of The Crypto Crew has been researching and investigating bigfoot reports in New Hampshire, namely around Newmarket.
Jason recently took in a report of a possible sighting in that area, post can be read HERE, that we think may be the same bigfoot in some earlier reports.
Here is some of Jason's earlier reports and investigation work - HERE & HERE & HERE.
These post include photo and details about the investigation. We even have some possible bigfoot sound recorded and I will post the video at the end of this post.
Now we have gotten a new sighting report coming from Raymond, NH. I'm told this is around 10-15 minutes from Newmarket, where there has been several sighting and some evidence.
Here is the report I received via email and my exchange with the person.
D said - " I would like to know if the sighting from nh in march of 2012 was in Raymond nh? My husband had a weird experience by a swamp last month that looks very familiar to the ones in the pictures. We have also heard some unusual noises input area. Not sure if we are just reading into things, but we usually don't believe in these things. Look forward to your reply."
My reply - "These sighting were in and around Newmarket. I don't know how close that is to Raymond"
D replied - "It's about 10 miles away. My husband said he saw what looked like a bear on two legs cross the street where there is a swampy area on both sides early one morning.
Two days later I heard what sounded like a bull in the woods. And the next night I left to run an errand and came home to an awful odor outside. Ten minutes later when I put my dog out it was gone."
I am still trying to gather information about this sighting and will update any important info. The activity in New Hampshire has been good over the last year and we will continue to investigate.
Very interesting. Living in Boston,with no chance of seeing a Bigfoot around here, knowing that a few recent reported sightings within an hour and a half or so away from me, makes me want to go up there tonight and look around.
If I didn't have kids and if I wouldn't crap my pants if I saw one.
Like this blog very much.
Thanks Chris, more reports are coming in from the area.
What video? the one above is just a audio one.
Not saying its not a bigfoot.
But I live in new England and screams like that come from either a Fisher Cat..more likely a red fox. It sounds like if I were to scream at the top of my lungs for a second and do it repeatedly.
But you never know. Ive always bought that the bigfoot sounds were deeper and longer.
I have had very similar to that while hiking solo while in Sandown NH. So, I typically get out of the woods about an hour before sunset both winter and especially early spring.
While in and around my home both myself and others have heard several "screams" and "woops" while varying times of day and night. I am surrounded by swamps, small ponds, bogs, conservation land and a .25 mile from the ATV trails. I just stay out of the woods around here at night.

Item - The Lost Sword
Combined By Edition
Paths of Doom — no. 2
Varian, Nancy Virginia
dal Lago, Alberto
MWP-5002
Number of Endings:
User Summary:
A young prince has a vision of his father's death in a pirate raid, and he must find a magical sword to avert the prophecy.
amesgames's Thoughts:
An uninteresting plot with a blank slate protagonist. Long, unnecessarily overly verbose passages leading into completely random choices. The player's outcomes entirely based on luck alone. Grammar and editing mistakes not uncommon. Apparently only one good ending, the rest all bad (and long winded to boot). Paths of Doom: The Lost Sword is a great example of how to make a boring and terrible game book. I can't recommend this amateur hour effort to anyone unfortunately. I believe the author (Nancy Virginia Varian) put an honest effort into this work, but she was clearly out of her element. I gave up trying to find the good ending, and ultimately went with a bad ending, just to have The Lost Sword over and done with.

Demian's Thoughts:
I'm sure I've read a fair percentage of Nancy Varian's Dragonlance fiction, though I honestly can't remember a single detail of her novel, and I have only scattered memories of her short fiction. I should probably have taken this as a bad sign, but I was still hopeful that this second volume would have managed to outshine the previous adventure in originality and readability. Unfortunately, that did not prove to be the case....
Once again, we are in familiar territory -- a quest for a magic artifact in a strange and dangerous location; there's even gratuitous bad poetry courtesy of an old crone to get things rolling. All of this could have been at home in an Endless Quest adventure. The problem, though, is that the familiar formula is never put to particularly engaging use.
As with the previous adventure, the book lacks an appealing protagonist. Prince Delvin is generically young, strong and loyal, and the illustrations portray him as the lead singer of an eighties metal band. The text of the book gives him no real personality, and the choices do little to allow the reader to develop his character in any particular direction. The reader never feels that they are Delvin, nor do they have much reason to care what happens to him or his family.
Even though the plot barely registers and the hero is a cipher, the book could have saved itself through interesting game design. Unfortunately, that is completely missing here. It is somewhat difficult to find the one true ending, but that is not due to clever puzzles or challenging choices -- it's mainly because the adventure is a maze of random events. There is little or no logic to most decisions, and there are many different ways (some of them featuring highly jarring transitions) to reach the book's negative endings. With so many similar and repeating fates, I quickly found it difficult to remember (or care) where I had previously been and what I had previously done. I eventually found my way through by drawing a map of the book's sections, and for all the book's longwindedness, it manages to deliver a final insult in the form of an astonishingly rushed and unsatisfying conclusion.
This is just about the worst that the gamebook form has to offer -- an unoriginal and uninteresting story made exponentially more tedious through the addition of interactivity that forces the reader to experience it over and over with minor, meaningless variations. Don't waste your time.
The Paths of Doom series really needed a stronger start than its first two volumes could offer it. It quickly plummets from "passable" to "awful," and I can't imagine any new readers being won over to gamebooks by these adventures. I certainly don't envision veterans having much fun here when it's so much more enjoyable to revel in nostalgia and read real Endless Quest books. Still, I haven't given up hope. The series has its heart in the right place; if somebody can just put the pieces together in a more satisfying way, this could still produce something worth reading. My fingers are crossed for the next batch....

Guillermo's Thoughts:
Instead of the fantasy Egypt setting used in the last book, this book returns to a genre that has already been used way too often in gamebooks: Dungeons and Dragons-style fantasy. Written by a person who, as far as I can tell, has no previous experience with interactive fiction, this proves to be disappointing both as a story and a game.
The writing is painstakingly dull, being more worthy of a school-child than of a professional author. While none of the text sections drags on for too many pages, just reading through any of them could prove a good cure for insomnia. As if this weren't enough, the writing is often awkward and the book seems to have been rushed to the printer without so much as a look on the part of an editor. Grammar and spelling mistakes are very frequent throughout the text, and there's even one point where the 'turn to' instructions are reversed, so when making one choice you're instead choosing its opposite. The book is so poorly edited I couldn't resist making some quotations. Here's one from page 82: "He wrung water from his hair, suddenly glad he hadn't disappearing (sic.) in his scaly transformation." Another one, from the very first text section: "Certainly no one would think he was going to the one place the people of his father's hold when only went (sic.) in desperation..." You get the idea.
The writing alone is bad enough, but the story adds insult to injury. Despite the fact that any path to the only successful ending feels rather long, the author somehow managed to write a highly incoherent story where absolutely nothing seems to happen... nothing exciting, at least. I still wonder, just to cite one example, what was the point of that magic trip to the player character's future life – it contributes nothing useful and only adds to the tediousness of the book.
There is no real point to the gameplay, either. Although the path to victory is quite narrow, finding it is not nearly as interesting as in other gamebooks. The first stages of the book will consist of plodding through way too many dead-end paths, since the path to victory is hidden among them. There was no real strategy in finding it that I could identify; the author seemed to think hiding it like a needle in a haystack and having the player read through a multitude of overly-long paths that often branch out and mostly lead to the same bad endings over, and over, and over again was somehow supposed to be fun. You'll almost surely be tired and frustrated by the time you stumble on the 'true path' and even then you'll find it to be as boring and pointless as the rest of the book (and filled with choices which ask you to act nobly and trust strangers blindly, in the all-too-clichéd fashion of many earlier interactive books). I'm not usually one to leave books unfinished, but after reaching the successful conclusion (which took me several tries) I left the book alone for good, despite the fact that there were many paths I had not traveled down. Sincerely, I couldn't care less for them.
I don't mean to offend anyone with this review, but whoever wrote this book needs to grow both as a fiction writer and as a game designer in order to produce something really worthwhile. Careful editing also wouldn't hurt (it's a must, in fact, considering the state of this published product). While the idea of new Endless Quest-style books being published in 2006 seems exciting enough, this completely fails to live up to the standards set by that classic series (or by the first PoD book, Sete-Ka's Dream Quest, for instance).
If you're looking for something worthwhile to spend your money on, I would suggest instead Sete-Ka's Dream Quest, or difficult books in the Endless Quest series like Vision of Doom and The Fireseed (this last one, by the way, handles the tropical island setting much better than The Lost Sword). If you're not averse to weird science fantasy, I also recommend the Hark series by R. L. Stine, which manages to combine a fair dose of strategy and a good feel for the absurd in a more effective way than this book achieves.

This year we've never had more reason to talk about our obsession, the weather, in particular, the snow. In January the world's eyes were upon up as London came to a standstill and our airports and rail services struggled to cope; this time it seems that only Gatwick airport has improved its snow equipment and Heathrow is once again in the news for the wrong reasons with very few flights and people stranded.
This could be the coldest winter since 1979 with some areas of the UK getting up to 40cm of snow. For those of you who were/are trying to get home for the winter festivities I wish you well/good luck. Let me know your experiences please. And if you are still dreaming of a white christmas and want to hear the Bing Crosby classic then click here.
So, I'll take this opportunity to help you understand some idioms which are related to the weather.
1. I can't attend the meeting because I'm snowed under.
2. The recession has been difficult for our company but I think we'll weather the storm.
3. There's a tube strike but because of the meeting I'll be there come rain or shine.
4. He lost his job and then his car was stolen, it never rains but it pours!
5. I didn't enjoy the party because I was under the weather.
Enjoy yourselves come rain or shine over the festive season and I hope you continue to read our blog in 2011.

Los microdominios de membrana son regiones de membrana que exhiben una composición, estructura y función biológica diferente del resto de la membrana que los rodea, independientemente de su estabilidad, tamaño o el mecanismo de formación. El tipo de microdominio descrito principalmente es el de las balsas lipídicas, pero existen también las caveolas y los dominios ricos en tetraspanina.

Tipos de microdominios
Los microdominios, o mejor llamados dominios nanoescala, por su tamaño menor a 200 nm, se clasifican en tres tipos: balsas lipídicas, cavilosa y dominios ricos en tetraspanina; en general todos tienen características en común.

Balsas lipídicas
La composición básica de una balsa lipídica es colesterol o esteroles y esfingolípidos, con ácidos grasos saturados y de cadenas largas que se agrupan formando regiones muy estables. Las proteínas presentes en estas balsas son las que presentan un anclaje con glicosilfosfofatidilinositol (GPI). Dentro de los glicolípidos asociados, el que se encuentra en mayor proporción es la glicoesfingosina. Se tiene que tomar en cuenta que la membrana es asimétrica y en la monocapa interna de una balsa se presenta otra composición en la que están, además de concentrar proteínas ancladas a lípidos como la Src cinasa que está involucrada en la señalización.

Caveola
Microdominio definido como un pozo de 60 a 80 nm de diámetro presente en la membrana plasmática. Se caracteriza por ser una invaginación de la membrana que presenta la proteína caveolina, de la cual se estima que existen 144 moléculas por cada caveola, y está enriquecida con muchos de los componentes que también se presentan en una balsa lipídica, es por eso que algunos autores lo consideran un subtipo de balsa lipídica.

Dominios ricos en tetraspanina
Son unidades preorganizadas de la membrana plasmática que incluyen un arreglo de receptores relacionados funcionalmente. Presentan heterogeneidad en cuestión de tamaño entre células y tienen anclados las proteínas tetraspaninas, las cuales son una superfamilia de proteínas que pueden oligomerizarse y reclutar varias proteínas para establecer dominios estables.

Historia
En 1987 Simons y Van Meer, descubrieron que las redes de glicoesfingolípidos se encontraban en el aparato de Golgi antes de ser enviados a la parte apical de la célula epitelial polarizada. No fue hasta 1997 que Simons y Elina Ikonen fueron los que descubrieron estas estructuras y fue que las denominaron como balsas lipídicas en la revista Nature.  Se dieron cuenta de que cuando se disolvían, la membrana presentaba regiones resistentes a los detergentes empleados, quedando remanentes de la membrana. A estos remanentes se les llamó membranas resistentes a detergentes, DRM's por sus siglas en inglés.

Por otro lado las caveolas fueron identificadas en 1953 por Palade utilizando microscopía electrónica. A partir de eso se empezó a emplear el término caveolas, las cuales llevan su nombre por tener forma de cueva que son invaginaciones de la membrana y por contener en gran cantidad proteínas llamadas caveolinas.

Existen otros dominios que son ricos en tetraspaninas; estas fueron clonadas a inicios de los años 90's. Las primeras técnicas utilizadas, basadas en inmunoaislamiento, revelaron que tenían una habilidad para asociarse de forma cis con otras proteínas de membrana y con otras tetraspaninas.

En 2006 las balsas lipídicas fueron denominadas como "dominios pequeños" (20-100 nm), que son heterogéneos, altamente dinámicos y enriquecidos con esteroles y esfingolípidos. Las balsas lipídicas pueden, a veces, estabilizarse para formar plataformas largas mediante las cuales hay interacciones proteína-proteína y proteína-lípido (Pike). Se les atribuyen actividades como promotoras de resistencia a drogas en células cancerígenas, o como una vía de entrada a virus.

Importancia
Dentro de estos microdominios de membrana se encuentran ancladas diferentes tipos de proteínas dándole una organización a la membrana; se sabe que tienen una importancia fisiopatológica en la que se involucra los depósitos de la membrana para los cambios morfológicos celulares, por ejemplo la citocinesis, el proceso de vesiculación, la distribución de proteínas, ya sea receptoras, de señalización, etc., y también la entrada de agentes infecciosos tales como retrovirus, influenza o VIH. En el sistema inmune se sabe que juega un papel importante en la señalización ya que existen receptores de las células T ancladas a estas regiones.

Depósitos de la membrana para la deformación celular
La deformación celular se refiere a los procesos en los que la célula cambia su forma por deformaciones o polarizaciones de la membrana plasmática. Diversos estudios se han realizado para determinar las regiones de la membrana enriquecidas en colesterol y proteínas durante los procesos de citocinesis durante la división celular, la polarización de la célula (por ejemplo en las células epiteliales) y la formación de regiones donde la célula se estruja (squeezing).

Sitios de vesiculación de la membrana
Se tiene un modelo teórico del proceso de vesiculación el cual propone la dependencia de distintas propiedades para que esto se lleve a cabo. El modelo teórico está basado en observaciones experimentales que se han llevado a cabo; entre estas se destaca la formación de microvesículas de neutrofilos activados enriquecidas en colesterol, lo cual puede indicar que es esencial la presencia del colesterol en ciertas regiones de la membrana para la formación de dichas microvesículas. Por ende se sugiere que las balsas lipídicas o dominios de lípidos más grandes de cierta composición pueden ser puntos iniciales para el proceso de vesiculación.

Distribución de las proteínas
Los dominios membranales con una composición específica de lípidos sirven como plataformas en las que se acumulan o excluyen proteínas membranales. Se sabe que existen propiedades biofísicas de la membrana,como el grosor, que pueden afectar la acumulación o exclusión de proteínas. Dichas propiedades dependen de la composición lipídica de la membrana.

Entrada de agentes patógenos a la célula
Los agentes infecciosos tales como las bacterias, toxinas, virus y parásitos tienen como objetivo de infección a los lípidos de membrana. Se sabe que la toxina de la bacteria del cólera se une específicamente al gangliósido GM1 por su subunidad B; de igual forma, el virus Simian 40 (SV40) se une al gangliósido GM1 e induce una invaginación de la membrana. El virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) también presenta unión con GM1 y con DiIC16 en los dominios de membrana. Lo anterior demuestra que los dominios de membrana son importantes para las infecciones ya que se pueden utilizar para nuevos tratamientos.

The Journey of Islamic Banking in Pakistan
By Dr. Burhan Ali Shah & Dr. Ghulam Shabbir Khan Niazi
The history of Islamic banking in Pakistan is unique having paramount significance. The seed of Islamic banking was sown by the Quaid e Azam in his inaugural address at SBP on July 1, 1948 followed by constitutional provisions requiring abolition of Riba and promoting Islamic banking. The role of CII is critical in promoting Islamic banking in the country. Islamic banking emerged with full swing in 1980s but was declared against the principles of Shari'ah by the FSC in 1991 and SAB in 1999 respectively. The current form of Islamic banking emerged in 2002 in parallel with conventional banking and spread all over the country. However, it still needs to put efforts to be universally recognized.

Q: How to find only last row from second table, along with its first table row I have two tables.
journals and volumes.
Journal Table has unique rows, and volumes table have rows  based on journal table id, name is journal_id(may be multiple).
journals table is:
id | journal_name

1  | journal1
2  | journal2

volumes table is:
id | journal_id | volume_name

1  |    1       |  volume1
2  |    1       |  volume2
3  |    1       |  volume3
4  |    2       |  volume4
5  |    2       |  volume5

Now I need join with row from journal table and only last rows of volumes based on journal_id.
Result should be:
id | journal_name | journal_id | volume_name

1  | journal1     |   1        |   volume3
2  | journal2     |   2        |   volume5

Not all the rows from volumes table. (Need only last rows from each group of journal_id).
required result from mysql query is:
SELECT J.journal_name,V.id,V.journal_id FROM journals AS J
INNER JOIN (SELECT *
FROM volumes
WHERE id IN (
SELECT MAX(id)
FROM volumes
GROUP BY journal_id
)) AS V ON J.id = V.journal_id

Now my try in laravel is:
controller is:
public function index()
{
$volumes = volume::with('volumes')->orderBy('id','desc')->limit(1)->get();
    return view('welcome',compact('volumes'));
}

volume model is:
function volumes()
 {
      return $this->belongsTo(journal::class, 'journal_id');
 }

But it is giving only one row from entire volume table. I need last one row from each group of journal_id in volume table.

A: You can use a HasOne relationship:
class Journal extends Model
{
    public function latestVolume()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(Volume::class)->orderByDesc('id');
    }
}

$journals = Journal::with('latestVolume')->get();

Be aware that this will still fetch all volumes from the database. It then discards the "old" ones.
If you want to improve the performance by really only fetching the latest volume, you can use this package I've created: https://github.com/staudenmeir/eloquent-eager-limit
The package allows you to apply limit() to the relationship:
class Journal extends Model
{
    use \Staudenmeir\EloquentEagerLimit\HasEagerLimit;

    public function latestVolume()
    {
        return $this->hasOne(Volume::class)->orderByDesc('id')->limit(1);
    }
}

A: The right way to define the models would be:
Journal model
function volumes()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Volume::class);
}

Volume model
function journals()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Journal::class);
}

Now $journal->volumes should return all the volumes that belong to that journal.

Q: How to run code before/after cucumber suite? I'm trying to figure out how to run some code before and after all my cucumber tests run.
I've been tracking down a bug for a few days where some our processes create jobs on a server, and don't properly clean it up.  It's easy to miss so ideally I don't want engineers to have to manually add a check to every test.
I was hoping there'd be a way to put a hook in before any tests ran to cache how many jobs exist on the server, then a hook at the end to ensure that the value hasn't changed.
I know this isn't really the best way to use cucumber, as that is more of a system test type thing to do, but doing it this way would be the best way to fit it into the existing infrastructure.

A: Use @BeforeClass and @AfterClass annotations in your run file.
@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@Cucumber.Options(
    format = {"json", "<the report file>"},
    features = {"<the feature file>"},
    strict = false,
    glue = {"<package with steps classes>"})
public class TestRunFile {
    @BeforeClass
    public static void getJobNumbersOnServerBeforeStarting() {
        //Implement logic
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void getJobNumbersOnServerAfterCompletion() {
        //Implement logic
    }
}

A: How about using tagged hooks.
@Before("@jobCheck")
public void beforeScenario() {
  // actions
}

@After("@jobCheck")
public void afterScenario() {
  // actions
}

And then for each scenario that requires this check, add @jobCheck before the Scenario definition as below.
Feature: Some feature description
  @jobCheck
  Scenario: It should process a sentence
    // The steps

More on JVM hooks here: https://zsoltfabok.com/blog/2012/09/cucumber-jvm-hooks/


A Maryland man told federal investigators he had communicated online with a 12-year-old girl from Blue Springs over the past five months before allegedly picking her up early Sunday morning and setting off an AMBER Alert.
According to the Office of the U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Missouri, William Lee Dela Cruz, 22, of Maryland, has been charged with enticing a minor to engage in illicit sexual activity.
The suspect's brother, Jason Dela-Cruz who was driving the vehicle, is still on the loose.
News4 has removed her name and photo because she is now a victim of a crime. He called 911. Then two customers at the Six North Cafe in the Wentzville Bluffs saw the two sitting outside on the patio.
"They actually arrived in the Wentzville area at some point during the middle of the night" said Wentzville Chief of Police, Kurt Frisz.
Authorities said Apple was found safe about 2:15 p.m.in the Wentzville area.
They also say this case is proof that the Amber Alert system works, as it helped them find the girl less than 24 hours after she vanished.
Police say the girl and DeLa Cruz met online and had been talking for some time.
Police say William DeLa Cruz and Jason DeLa Cruz travelled from Maryland to Blue Springs to meet the girl. The girl was taken to a hospital to be checked out and released to her father.
As soon as she came out, she started dialling the numbers of her relatives when her colleagues got to know about the matter. But at her office, her strength and courage are still dominating the conversation". "We did not tell her".

Q: Easy to understand and follow books on jQuery and javascript? I would like to know your opinion of a good jQuery and JavaScript book. There are just too many of them [when I try to search]. Please suggest some really good books which I could buy.
My current knowledge on these technologies - Close to Zero.
Thanks in advance,
Rahul

A: Rahul,
Most books on JQuery seem to assume some working knowledge of Javascript on the reader's part.
You say that your knowledge on both Javascript AND JQuery are near zero.
I would recommend starting with an introductory book on Javascript like, "JavaScript in 10 Simple Steps or Less".   A basic book like that can help bootstrap you quickly into a working understanding of Javascript.  Enough so that moving on to something like "Beginning Javascript and CSS Development with JQuery" becomes understandable and useful.
Of course, read the JQuery blogs (Remy Sharp has great info!!) or take tutorials at Lynda.com (Dori Smith's Javascript courses are the best!).
Oh... and make sure JQuery and Javascript are on your "interesting tags" list on StackOverflow.

A: One book on jQuery i find good and interesting is jQuery in Action. If you want to read javascript you should follow javascript.crockford.com

A: I personally like Rebecca Murphey's jQuery Fundamentals.
Other great (free) online resources:

*

*Mozilla Developer Network's JavaScript Reference — Might as well make this your homepage.

*jQuery's Documentation

*MDN's JavaScript Guide

*W3School's JavaScript Tutorial
I had a friend recently ask me whether it was better to learn unadulterated JavaScript before beginning to use jQuery. After some thought, I decided it wasn't entirely necessary. jQuery just enhances javascript and makes it easier to use, and it'll always be around, so why get into document.getElementById() when you'll always have access to jQuery's selector engine? I suppose it's akin to learning math via a calculator, but if you're just looking to write some awesome webapps, you needn't be a JavaScript-amatician.
Also note: JavaScript is sort of a vague term. According to StackOverflow's wiki:

JavaScript is the common name for ECMAScript, and the name of Mozilla's implementation of ECMAScript. ECMAScript was developed as a standardization of a common subset of features of Mozilla's JavaScript and similar languages.

In layman's terms, this means that JavaScript is a dialect of ECMAScript. This is sort of convolutes things. Basically, Mozilla developed the JavaScript language, and Microsoft developed JScript to compete (and for compatibility issues). The two were reconciled into the ECMAScript standard. So, a body of people publish a standard, then it's up to the developers of the JavaScript Engines to implement them to standard.
Hence, no JavaScript engine is the same (damn you, IE). This is also why you will be hard-pressed to find a definitive JavaScript reference. Mozilla's Developer Network has come up with about as complete a reference as you can find.

Palm City in Martin County offers both wonderful waterfront homes along the meandering South Fork of the St Lucie River, but also some fabulous golf course homes and gated communities. Palm City's waterfront has more direct waterfront properties with homes and docks than Port St Lucie's North Fork, which has more lush preserves and natural habitats.
Seagate Harbour lies directly at the intersection of the St Lucie River as it comes off the inlet and where the North and South Forks of the river separate, offering magnificent wide views of the great river. Bay Pointe and Pelican Cove plus other luxury riverfront homes line the waterfront north of the SW Martin Downs Blvd. and SW Martin Highway / #716.
Palm Cove Golf and Yacht Club lies just west of Seagate Harbour and has a Yacht club with boat docs and homes directly on the water, plus a choice of single family, town home and condominiums on the lakes and golf course.

Climate Change Made Hurricane Irma Worse: Al Gore Warned This Would Happen But People Didn't Listen to His 'Inconvenient Truth'
By Tufayel Ahmed On 9/8/17 at 12:04 PM EDT
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore attends a screening for "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" in Los Angeles on July 25. Mario Anzuoni/Reuters
Culture Al Gore Climate Change Hurricane Irma
When Al Gore's climate-change documentary An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power opened to less than $1 million at the box office in early August—coming in 16th place in its first weekend of wide release—the right-leaning media was quick to dismiss it as a "bomb." The sequel's takings, the likes of Fox News noted, were far below its Academy Award–winning predecessor, An Inconvenient Truth, released in 2006.
But to dwell on An Inconvenient Sequel 's box office receipts is to the miss the point. The film's message—a warning wrapped in the guise of a blockbuster movie experience—is no more critical than it is right now.
The devastation of Hurricane Harvey in August has flooded the city of Houston. In the first week of September, more tropical storms are already foretold to cause even more chaos. The Category 4 Hurricane Irma has ripped its way through the Caribbean on its way to Florida, while Hurricane Jose is tipped to closely follow behind it in ravaging several Caribbean Islands. A third hurricane, Katia, could hit Mexico by Saturday morning. That country was just hit with a major earthquake Thursday night.
The back-to-back disasters may not be directly caused by climate change, but the intensification of global warming certainly played a factor, scientists say. Rising temperatures on the earth's surface and sea can "badly exacerbate" the impact of a storm, climate scientist Anders Levermann told Bloomberg earlier this week. That echoes research by MIT meteorology expert Kerry Emanuel, who in March said that "climate change potentially affects the frequency, intensity and tracks of tropical cyclones."
In spite of science, climate deniers and skeptics, like President Trump, who pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement on climate change earlier in 2017, continue to dismiss the effects of human activities affecting our environment. But Irma and company are just the beginning. By the end of the 21st century, according to the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, hurricanes will be a lot more powerful and dangerous due to rising temperatures of seawater.
Someone tried to warn us—even as little as a month ago.
Al Gore's Inconvenient films, packaged as major motion pictures with all the polished sheen and expensive marketing one expects from a superhero movie, are not just slick popcorn films. They're packaged that way to make them more palatable to the average Joe. So if you missed the former vice president's movie when it hit theaters last month, now is the time to see it.
The trailer for An Inconvenient Sequel alone is pretty damning of the blind eye being turned to climate change. "The most criticized scene in the movie An Inconvenient Truth," Gore says of his first film, "was showing that the combination of sea level rise and storm surge would flood the 9/11 memorial site. And people said, 'What a terrible exaggeration.'" Cut to footage of 2012's Hurricane Sandy, which did indeed flood the memorial.
The earlier Inconvenient film foresaw that incident, while the latest features an eerie prediction for the Florida-bound Irma.
In the film, Gore visits Miami, parts of which are under several inches of water due to rising sea levels. Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine tells him they are circumventing water flooding the streets by using pumps and raising roads. But Gore points out that it's a temporary measure at best, as sea levels continue to rise. "Kind of hard to pump the ocean."
If Irma hits Miami—and it might—the impact could be disastrous because of the already high water levels, the consequence of which would be more flooding.
Gore told Newsweek last month that Trump pulling out of the climate accord is not yet a done deal—the earliest the U.S. would be able to withdraw is just after the next presidential election. If a new president is elected, the U.S. could choose to remain part of the Paris Agreement.
So there is still time to act. According to Gore's Inconvenient marketing, at the state level, more than 100 million U.S. citizens live in places still committed to climate action, representing 36 percent of the population. In the wake of Irma and other tropical storms, that figure could realistically increase. Here's how the movie advises you to take action:
We're asking YOU. Tell the people in power where you stand & urge them to protect our home. Act now: https://t.co/IVpuGTbYm0 #BeInconvenient pic.twitter.com/SwlwIZag66

By the way, An Inconvenient Sequel is still in theaters across the U.S. to help you get educated.

Q: Return the read cursor to the start of the file I'm trying to read into two file (name,number) at the same time and get value of each possible pair.
The two file are like this:
*name1
John
*name2
Paul

*number1
25
*number2
45

What i'm trying to obtain are label and result like:
*name1 *number1 John 25
*name2 *number2 John 45
*name2 *number1 Paul 25
*name2 *number2 Paul 45

Since i come from python i've tried to do it with two loop like this:
name=/home/davide/name.txt
number=/home/davide/number.txt
while read name; do
    if [[ ${name:0:1} == "*" ]]; then
        n=$(echo $name)
    else
        while read number; do
                if [[ ${number:0:1} == "*" ]]; then
                    echo $number $n
                else
                    echo $name $number
                fi
        done < $number
    fi
done < $name

I have the first two pair so my guess it's that i need a command to start from the beginning of number again (like seek(0) on python) but i haven't found a similar one for bash.
I also get an "ambiguous redirect" error and i don't understand why.

A: After setting up your input files:
printf >name.txt '%s\n' '*name1' John '*name2' Paul
printf >number.txt '%s\n' '*number1' 25 '*number2' 45

...the following code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
name_file=name.txt
number_file=number.txt

while IFS= read -r name1 && IFS= read -r value1; do
  while IFS= read -r name2 && IFS= read -r value2; do
    printf '%s\n' "$name1 $name2 $value1 $value2"
  done <"$number_file"
done <"$name_file"

...properly outputs:
*name1 *number1 John 25
*name1 *number2 John 45
*name2 *number1 Paul 25
*name2 *number2 Paul 45

What changed?

*

*We stopped using name and number both for the filenames and for the values read from them. Because of this, when you ran <$number, it no longer had the filename number.txt in it after the first iteration; likewise for $name.

*We started quoting all expansions ("$foo", not $foo). See the http://shellcheck.net/ warning SC2086, and BashPitfalls #14, explaining why even echo $foo is buggy.

*Running read with the -r argument and IFS set to an empty value prevents it from consuming literal backslashes or pruning leading and trailing newlines.

*Using two reads inside the condition of each while loop lets us read two lines at a time from each file (as is appropriate, given the intent to process content in pairs).

A: Bash operates more easly on "streams", not like, on the data itself.

*

*first substitute every second newline starting from the first for a tabulation or a space or other separator

*then "paste" the files together

*Then rearange columns, from *name1 John *number1 25 to *name1 *number1 John 25

cat >name.txt <<EOF
*name1
John
*name2
Paul
EOF

cat <<EOF >number.txt
*number1
25
*number2
45
EOF

paste <(<name.txt sed 'N;s/\n/\t/') <(<number.txt sed 'N;s/\n/\t/') |
awk '{print $1,$3,$2,$4}'

will output:
*name1 *number1 John 25
*name2 *number2 Paul 45

A: In your script, you use the variable name for both the file path and the while-loop variable.  This causes the "ambiguous redirect" error. Two lines need fix e.g.:
name_file=/home/davide/name.txt
done < $name_file

No need to for seek(0) in shell scripts. Just process the file again, e.g:
while read line ; do
    echo "== $line =="
done < /some/file

while read line ; do
    echo "--> ${line:0:1}"
done < /some/file

This is less efficient and less flexible than a more real programming language where you can seek().  But that's about differences, advantages and disadvantages between shell scripting and programming.
By the way, this line:
n=$(echo $name)

... is merely a awkward way of just doing:
n=$name

This can cause your script to behave quite unpredictable when $name contains special character like *. And since $name is read from a text file, this not unlikely to happen. (thanks Charles Duffy for making this point)

A: First, in your example you overwrite the variable $number. So you have issues on reading file $number beginning from the second loop-run.
Solution with paste
Command paste can combine multiple files, and with option -d line-by-line.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
name=/home/davide/name.txt
number=/home/davide/number.txt

# combine both files linb-by-line
paste $'-d\n' "$name" "$number" |
while read nam
do
    #after reading name to var 'nam', read number to var 'num':
    read num

    # print both
    echo "$nam $num"
done

if you want TABS or any other separator and no other processing, you don't need the while loop. Examples
paste "$name" "$number"
paste -d: "$name" "$number"
paste -d\| "$name" "$number"

A: $ cat tst.awk
NR==FNR {
    if ( NR%2 ) {
        tags[++numPairs] = $0
    }
    else {
        vals[numPairs] = $0
    }
    next
}
!(NR%2) {
    for (pairNr=1; pairNr<=numPairs; pairNr++) {
        print prev, tags[pairNr], $0, vals[pairNr]
    }
}
{ prev = $0 }

$ awk -f tst.awk number.txt name.txt
*name1 *number1 John 25
*name1 *number2 John 45
*name2 *number1 Paul 25
*name2 *number2 Paul 45

Q: Prevent a download to saturate all bandwidth on Linux In Linux, a single download can use all available bandwidth, so that any other connection can't be started. (e.g. if I am downloading updates, I can't surf the web at the same time)
Is there a way to set some kind of fair queueing between different connection, to allow for sharing?
I checked tc with sfq qdisc, but it seems one has to tune it to the current available bandwidth, which could be difficult on xDSL, where maximum downstream bandwidth could not be fully available depending on the provider.

A: It is also possible to use Trickle for that

A: A quicker temporary fix that may yield some benefit is to write a couple of iptables rules for outgoing packets to give a different Type-Of-Service for SYN packets (i.e. what is sent for a new connection request - a new web page to load) and incoming SYN-ACK.
You could probably extend this to test for port number(s) too etc and maybe make use of the state table that iptables keeps for connection sessions.

A: I've personally never tried any applications for bandwidth throttling, but if you'd like a good place to see some applications for Linux, check out the "external links" section of the Bandwidth throttling Wikipedia entry.
Amongst the mentioned solutions, I've heard about trickle and Squid based implementations (like in the Bandwidth Limiting HOWTO).
