The Best Free Press Release Sites to Spread Your Message
In a previous article, I have shared over 50 different free press release sites. Instead of a large list, you need a more specific solution.

Matt Cutts on Press Releases
After reviewing a few comments from Google's infamous Matt Cutts about press releases, sharing the results with you seemed the right thing to do.
The topic is more than just about press releases however since we are really interested in getting better authority and ranking on the Internet. We are interested in how ranking is search engines is possible via press releases.
Why this matters to me: Understanding the ranking factors in search engines helps to solve the of lack of awareness. It is unacceptable that entrepreneurs and small business owners who are AWESOME offline are not getting recognized in the same way online. There are too many special companies which impact the community and offer value which are not getting found. Can press releases be tool to improve ranking and SEO?

Teach Me (feat. Jake Muzzin): Living in the United States
Jon Rosen November 23, 2018 0 Comments
Allow me to present a new LA Kings Insider recurring feature – one that has actually been in the planning stage for over a year. During the season, whether on social media or in LAKI commenting, I get asked questions about certain aspects of the team's play, travel, logistics and organizational structure. I try to answer these questions the best I can, but thought, 'why not get the answer from someone more learned and ask a player?" And thus introduces LAKI's Teach Me series, which will regularly ask a player on the team about an aspect of their profession or role that may not immediately be known by the general, hockey-watching public. We're planning on tackling a ton of topics that might not otherwise be germane to the daily question-and-answer scrums that take up so much of our time between 11 am and noon. What is getting traded like? How would you describe playing in Montreal? What kind of a teammate was Colin Fraser? How do you deal with reporters and the media? How are rookies treated? How do nicknames stick? All of these topics – and many more – will be covered in the Teach Me series.
Even as the NHL diversifies and grows into farther corners of North America and the globe than at any previous point, the league is still dominated by cold weather stars from North America, many of whom rode the buses between mid-size towns in Canadian provinces and northern border states.
Jake Muzzin is one of 13 active Kings to have played in the Canadian Hockey League, the umbrella organization overseeing the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League; 52 of the 60 CHL teams play in Canadian cities. He's also one of 10 active Kings to have played in the pressure cooker of the OHL before plying their trade south of the 49th parallel.
BREAKING: There are many similarities between living in Canada and the United States. But there are some cosmetic differences that, as Muzzin points out, take a little bit of time to get used to. And there's also one profound difference: Hockey is part of national identity and figures prominently into culture, marketing and way of life in Canada, yet is more of a regional and niche sport in most American centers.
Jake Muzzin, on core differences between living in the United States and Canada:
Well, there was no Tim Horton's. I had to learn to like Dunkin' Donuts because we were up in Manchester. So, that was a big change. I couldn't get my regular stuff. I had to adapt and you know I got through it, but it was tough. What else was new? Miles for kilometers. It's totally different. [LAKI: Are you able to do that now?] Yeah, I'm pretty set now. The temperature is always — Fahrenheit to Celsius is pretty different. So, stuff like that you have to adapt to. I had to get a social security number. In Canada we have a different kind of number. I don't know what it's called, but we had a different number. I had to get a new cell phone plan. You don't want those data roaming charges. They get pretty high, so I had to do all that stuff.
Muzzin, on the lack of an inescapable hockey culture in the United States:
Everything is football, basketball, baseball and we're used to hockey, hockey, hockey up in Canada on television. So that was a big change. The only hockey we saw were Boston Bruins games because we lived up [in Manchester]. So, that was a change as well. Although the TV in the United States is way better than in Canada, that's for sure. [LAKI: Any shows you don't get now that you enjoyed in Canada? TSN?] Yeah TSN is a big one, but most of the stuff we get here. Maybe not Trailer Park Boys. If you guys don't know what that is, great Canadian show.
Muzzin, on his first Thanksgiving in the United States:
Yeah, I was in Manch actually. One of the older guys on the team had put a spread together for everyone and it's huge here compared to back home. I feel when it's a celebration, Americans really go all out and they celebrate.
Muzzin, on fundamental differences between the United States and Canada:
I don't know, I don't want to start any fights. But there's some things that you feel and see, but I'm not going to get into it because America is my home now while I'm working in hockey and it's been great to me and my family, so I'm not starting any bad blood between the two.
Muzzin, on a core experience of living in Southern California:
When we live where we live, we're so fortunate and lucky to be here. You wake up and you see the ocean and the beach and it's a blessing. When you think times are tough and we're struggling and what have you, I mean you take a second to drink it all in and you really feel fortunate and lucky to be here.
Willie Desjardins, on celebrating American Thanksgiving:
You can't compare it. It's totally different. Even what I knew before, when I was coaching in the Western League and we'd travel into the States on Thanksgiving and you couldn't find any place to eat – the area was shut down. That wouldn't happen in Canada. It's different, but it's great to see people celebrate that. … It's certainly a big event and not quite that big in Canada.

Tim Ferriss ist ein Typ, der das macht, worüber andere nur reden: Er verwirklicht seine Träume. Und zwar ganz konsequent. "Nebenbei" ist der 31-jährige auch noch Unternehmer, Globetrotter und Autor des Weltbestsellers "Die 4-Stunden-Woche". In diesem Interview verrät er uns seine Lebensphilosophie und wie er es schafft, tatsächlich nur 4 Stunden pro Woche zu arbeiten – und trotzdem gut zu leben.
Hi Tim, let's talk. You call yourself an "ultra vagabond". What's your favorite place so far?
Tim Ferriss: Hi Anja and Peter. It's very hard to pick just one. If I had to pick one, I'd pick where I live now: San Francisco. It has everything. Otherwise, Buenos Aires for winter, Berlin for summer, and Japan for in between.
Apparently, it makes no difference where in the world you are. Do you have a motto that describes yourself or the way you live?
Tim Ferriss: Experimentalist. Testing the unknown, experimenting with simple cutting-edge technologies, pushing the envelope: all of these things result in better outcomes than possible with a traditional menu of options. It just requires that people take the first step. There's an entirely new world of options waiting.
In your book you show how to arrange your life so that you only need to spend 4 hours per week to attain the income that you need. So, Tim, when you only work 4 hours per week, what do you do with the rest of your time?
Tim Ferriss: In brief, I have fully automated and outsourced my life except for the most profitable or enjoyable activities. I'm also now investing in tech companies as an "angel investor" in Silicon Valley. For fun, I also write one of the world's top-1000 blogs at www.fourhourblog.com, which gets about 20 million hits per month. For exercise, I like rock climbing in Northern California.
On a more serious note, I would like to spark a revolution in science and math education, especially in the US, as well as literacy in developing countries. President Bush has led our country back to the Dark Ages, and it's disgusting. A group of high-profile bloggers and I have already helped fund projects for more than 15.000 students in public schools in the US (see www.litliberation.org), and we're building schools in Nepal, Vietnam, India and other countries. I'll also be looking at building alternative education for children in places like Afghanistan, where they might otherwise be sent to Madrassa terrorism schools.
I have some very, very big plans.
Sounds cool. But let's have a look at people who are just about to take the first step. What's your recommendation for anyone stuck in a routine job that pays the rent – but is not really fulfilling?
Tim Ferriss: First and foremost, recognize that accepting a tolerable mediocrity (and terminal boredom) is worse than testing other options. Common options generally lead to common results, which are underwhelming.
Do an 80/20 analysis of how you spend your time and create a "not-to-do" list. What are the 20 per cent of activities and distractions/interruptions that consume 80 per cent of your time? Use a program like www.rescuetime.com if you must, but figure out what's eating your usable time. Then write the top 2-4 on a not-to-do list and review them each morning, attempting for just 1-2 days to stop doing them. Don't check e-mail until 11 a.m. and focus on completing your most uncomfortable to-do before that time. Once determining your "relative income" – or hourly income – you can start to outsource life with small tasks via a site like www.tryasksunday.com. German-speaking virtual assistants can be found on both www.elance.com and on specific German city pages at www.craigslist.org.
1. Don't work harder to fix overwhelm. Overwhelm is due to lack of clear priorities, not lack of time.
2. Becoming aware of where time is wasted is half of fixing it. Use the free diagnostic www.rescuetime.com, which will show you the details. It's often shocking to see the results.
3. Don't allocate more time to something to make it better. Follow Parkinson's Law: a task will swell in perceived complexity to fill the time you allot it. Short deadlines and clearly defined milestones beat more time almost every time.
4. Don't try to please everyone. There is no one path to being better at work, but the one sure path to being miserable is attempting to do the impossible: please everyone.
5. Focus on your strengths and "offshore" the rest with personal outsourcing. Determine your approximate hourly income by cutting off the last three zeros of your annual income and halving the remainder. Thus, $50.000 per year turns into 50/2 = $25/hour. Use sites like www.tryasksunday.com to get a 24/7 digital butler in India for $60 per month, which equals less than 3 hours of your income and could easily save you 30-60 hours.
Now, many people are risk averse. What do you tell people who would like to change the direction of their professional life (or life in general) but are unable to do so because of their financial or family obligations?
Tim Ferriss: This is a common question, but I think it reflects untested limitations versus real ones. More than 60 per cent of the case studies in the book are people with jobs and families. The basic approaches to redesigning life – even extreme examples – are far less risky than postponing life for retirement.
What about the mother who doesn't want to spend all weekend looking for that one hot toy her son wants for his birthday the following week? She can have a virtual assistant do it, reserve it under her name at the one store that has it, and give her the number. Hours of calling and searching saved, life reclaimed. This can be done in English, German, or almost any language using www.elance.com to find appropriate people – in the case of your readers – in Germany or Poland.
What about the employee who demonstrates to his boss that he's spending 20 per cent of his time working on administrative tasks, and that the company can save $30 per hour by offloading non-sensitive online research and Excel creation to a virtual assistant at a reputable firm in India or someone else within the company? The employee makes himself more valuable by working on high-impact tasks, engaging in more interesting work and ultimately getting a raise for his greater contribution. And he doesn't pay the bill. A new father could create similar leverage to work from home once per week, after documenting increased results from fewer interruptions, etc.
Time is time, whether business or personal, and there are dozens of methods – and companies – that can help you create your ideal lifestyle, whether you're an employee, housewife, or CEO. It is equal-opportunity.
Tim Ferriss: Danke, Anja und Peter.


Wishing you all a good new year!
I don't know about the rest of you but the year 2010 will be the best one yet for me. I know it because I plan to make it that way!
This year look for a flurry of activity. Look for systems and not micromanagement. Look for enjoyment in life.
All of this comes from knowing what you want and preparing. It also means to know when to focus and when to multitask. These are things that I am having to constantly work on myself and I am sure that I am not the only one out there. I guess this means that I will have to meditate a bit more as well as getting more sleep and exercise. But it will be worth it, paying immediate dividends.
Anyway, without rambling too much more I wish everyone who reads this will have an excellent 2010 and an excellent rest of your lives while you are at it!

Sirius B and the Curious Case of the Dogon.
May 4, 2011 By David Dickinson 4 Comments
The ever-controversial star Sirius. (Photo by Author).
Every beginning astronomy student learns that Sirius is the brightest star in the sky. This brightness is apparent, as Sirius is a spectral type A1V star located relatively close to our solar system at about 8.6 light years away. Much myth and lore surrounds this star, but none is stranger that the mythology of the Dogon people. Incorporated into the mythos of these people that inhabit the plains of Mali is a bizarre tale of Sirius, which they call Sigi Tolo. They claim that the star has a small unseen companion in a 50 year orbit that they call Po Tolo. This companion star is tiny but dense, so dense that all the men in the world could not lift it. The mystery deepens as they also go on to claim that Jupiter has four large moons, and that Saturn has a ring "like that seen sometimes around the Moon, but different…" All of these claims are basically true. Sirius has a companion star, a white dwarf known as Sirius B discovered in 1862 by Alvan Graham Clark. This star is made up of degenerate matter, making it extremely dense, about 1×109 per kg/m^3. And the knowledge of Jupiter and Saturn has been around since Galileo first turned his crude telescope to the heavens…
The Dogon People…

So, what's going on here? Why would an isolated tribe have knowledge that technology only revealed to western eyes in the past few centuries? A quick search around the Internet of the Dogon and Sirius reveals no shortage of theories involving ancient alien contact. The modern pedigree of this tale can be traced back to a 1976 book by Robert Temple entitled The Sirius Mystery. Remember, the 1970's was a time when Eric von Daniken and his Chariots of the Gods was in vogue, and archeologists were seeing space-helmeted aliens everywhere. Temple based much of his book on the writings of anthropologist Marcel Griaule, who spent time with the Dogon off and on from 1931 to 1956. And much of that particular legend comes from an interview with local Dogon wise man Ogotemmeli. You get the picture. Further research with the Dogon has revealed either no trace of the legend or discrepancies with the tale. For example, they also state that there is a third star in the Sirius system they call Emme ya Tolo, which is the opposite of Po Tolo in that it is both "big and light" but no other star has yet to have been found. Also, as with any sole source, it's tough to say how much bias there may have been on the part of the recorder… it's easy to lead a subject, even subconsciously, to the data that we might want to hear. In addition, some confusion exists on whether Ogotemmeli was referring to Sirius or the bright planet Venus in reciting the tale.
The orbit of Sirius B. (Adapted from Burnham's Celestial Handbook).
In 1979, Carl Sagan proposed that the information might have been given to the Dogon by an external source, albeit a terrestrial one. Keep in mind, the legend coming to light in the 20th century wasn't really giving us any new information about Sirius; psychics perform this feat all the time when they claim to have predicted events that have already happened. When we look at ancient myths and lore, we need to be mindful of the creativity of the human mind; after all, what would archaeologists thousands of years from now make of a Star Trek episode? That we somehow had warp drive and phaser technology? A true myth having some sort of predictive power would be far more compelling. Does this mean that the discovery of a red dwarf star around Sirius, as was spuriously reported in the 1990's, would lend some credence to the tale? While interesting, I don't necessarily believe so, as red/brown dwarf stars are quite common in the cosmos; for example, it's not totally ruled out that our own sun may have a dim unseen companion!
Like white dwarfs, red dwarfs are common throughout the cosmos. (Credit: NASA/H. Bond).
What Sagan proposed is that the knowledge was passed on by a visiting explorer in the late 19th century, and incorporated into the Dogon mythos by the time Griaule did her interview. The image is compelling; an explorer eager to tell the "primitives" about the triumph of western science, imparting new information to the Dogon about their honored star. Keep in mind, another ancient African people, the Egyptians, based their calendar on the Sothic cycle and the helical rising of the star Sirius. Perhaps, said explorer had a telescope on hand to show them Jupiter and Saturn for good measure.
The original Dogon Sirius diagram. (Credit: Bad Archaeology).
But do any historical expeditions fit the bill? Well, there was in fact a total solar eclipse that passed over the region of modern day Mali on April 16th, 1893, and several expeditions were indeed in the area; these expeditions would have been well-equipped with astronomical gear and astronomy and curiosity about the heavens would have been on the forefront of everyone's minds. And yes, Saturn had just passed opposition and Jupiter would have been an early evening target in the months leading up to that date.
Jupiter at dusk in April 1893. (Created by the Author in Starry Night).
And the diagram purported to be centuries old? Well, keep in mind that it only bears a passing resemblance to an elliptical orbit; it looks a lot like an egg, which symbolizes re-birth and is prevalent in the mythos of many cultures (witness the "Easter eggs" of western culture; a throwback to pure paganism!) The original diagram sketched out by Ogotemmeli shows several other curious objects within the egg; later commentators have edited them out making the case for Sirius B to seem more conclusive than it really is. And keep in mind that we see the orbit of a binary star system generally tipped to our line of sight between either edge-on and face on; it would relatively easy to find several "matches" to the Dogon diagram in the sky.

While I think the Dogon case is more interesting than most, I don't find it compelling as a sign of ancient extra-terrestrial contact. Keep in mind, this is still giving us knowledge that we already knew; exacting knowledge, such as a chant that encoded how to build a functioning hyper-drive, for instance, would be much more inexplicable and compelling. The final fact often cited is that the Dogon believe in a heliocentric, or Sun-centered solar system, a fact that took us centuries of denial to realize. In this case, I believe that the Dogon should be recognized as astute observers of the sky; anyone can arrive at this conclusion as the Greeks initially did by merely studying the naked eye motions of the heavens and not allowing pre-conceived notions of how the world should be to cloud their judgment. All too often, we fail to give credit to the ingenuity of ancient cultures where credit is due. These people knew the sky far better than the average citizen does today and relied on it as a natural clock. Perhaps such intimate knowledge of peoples like the Dogon should be viewed for what it really is, rather than attributed as merely given to them from afar.

The Evolution Devotion: The 1500 minute moving average?
Actually it's the "50 day moving average" but on the 30 minute time scale.
I know I've posted this before, but I'm redoing it just to keep myself honest.
It is very rare for this pink dashed line to breech intraday.
It can break, and in spectacular fashion, on high volatility days.
So ultimately, I don't know how usable it is. It might be most useful to predict a larger move at tomorrow's open, if it is close to the line and you think it's going to cross. It is QUITE capable of crossing that line at the open.
So if it hugs this all day, I think it will breech it in a significant way tomorrow, but I don't know how to use it for the rest of this day. If it hugs it all day then there won't be enough movement to justify a trade.

Right from the opening cuscene, set on a rainy Manhatten bridge, you'll notice the wonderful lighting and weather effects. Never before have I seen such a realistic impression of rainfall shown during in-game graphics.
Super Smash Bros. Melee review (GCN)
Of course, Super Smash Brothers was all about multiplayer, and that hasn't changed in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Nothing beats a well-fought match against four of your best friends, pulverizing eachother, taunting eachother with your elite skills.
Max Payne review (PC)
Max Payne's developers were able to take a simple formula for a third-person shooter, and spice it up with slick controls, big guns, and a really cool controllable slow-motion feature (aka Bullet Time.) While most of the game revolves around running around killing things, the ability to toggle on your limited bullet-time makes the game all the more fun. Bullet-time slows the game down, allowing you to aim
Pikmin review (GCN)
In your search to find the ship parts, you must, of course, rely on the Pikmin to help you through your tasks. Up to 100 may be in the field at any time, either following (or fighting with) Olimar, laying idle, breaking down gates, or carrying objects back to their...
Onimusha: Warlords review (PS2)
If you're familiar with Capcom's own Resident Evil series, you'll probably have a good idea of how Onimusha plays. The simplest way to think of it is Resident Evil, in ancient China, with a few RPG elements. But that's only the simple explanation. It also has many other aspects which are reminiscent of a variety of genres. There will be
Bill & Ted's Excellent Video Game Adventure review (NES)
Because of the way things are organized, most of the game is spent fetching items and dodging the hazards that get in your way. Suppose you're after that salad dressing I mentioned. When you first enter a stage, you'll have no idea where it is located. If you talk to the locals, they might give you general clues about its location, but even then you have to do a lot of searching because the prize is never on the roadway.
The level of realism in this game can really screw you over at times, but it also gives you so many different possibilities when it comes to making it through.
Sonic Adventure 2 review (DC)
Where I find Sonic and Shadow's versus mode to be more fun than any of the others, I'm sure everyone will find something to like here. All the characters even have special moves that you can use after collecting so many rings, such as Shadow's Chaos Control. Very cool.
Dragon Warrior II review (NES)
And so it is that the first few hours of the game are spent growing accustomed to the battle system made famous in the original Dragon Warrior (sans the beautiful backdrop), then getting used to the change as a second warrior joins your party, then adapting yet again when you find the third. It's a fetch quest of the oddest sort. It's hard to question the validity of finding others to strengthen your group, yet the game throws curveballs in your face with the frequency of a Yankees pitcher.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time review (N64)
If I have one major gripe with this game, it is the perspective from which you play. (Well, that and the ANNOYING little faerie who flits around being a complete airhead.) Sometimes it became difficult or impossible to really see what I was doing due to the perspective.
Dragon Warrior III review (NES)
Dragon Warrior III is easily one of the greatest triumphs on the Nintendo Entertainment System, a gem that sparkles even in an age where all the other games on the block have larger assets. Not so much a game as an experience, this is one RPG that you owe it to yourself if the term 'role-playing' excites you even a little.
Final Fantasy Anthology review (PSX)
However, another massive mistake Square made was in the emulation of the Super Nintendo games onto the Playstation format. There's tremendous lag time between when you push a button, and when you see the results on screen. It can take up to ten seconds to get in or out of the menu screen.
Final Fantasy IX review (PSX)
I laughed, and even cried a little, at various points in the game. Not since Final Fantasy VI have I gotten so totally sucked into a game. This game will be within easy reach of my Playstation for a long, long time.
Final Fantasy VII review (PSX)
Final Fantasy VII was Square's first attempt at a Final Fantasy for the Playstation. As an RPG, as a game, I suppose one could classify it as average. But given that Final Fantasy has a history of truly extraordinary games, ''average'' is hardly a compliment.
Final Fantasy VIII review (PSX)
Like the Materia system, you lose spells when you change Junctions and magic around. And I tend to forget who has what spell, so I go to have Rinoa cast Aura, and find out that not only did I give all of her Aura to Quistis, but Quistis isn't in my party. AAAAAAACK!
Final Fantasy review (NES)
Looking at the game with modern eyes, it's easy to see a number of flaws in almost every aspect. The world map is too small. The graphics are bland at times, gaudy at others. There isn't enough diversity in the soundtrack. Monsters are too easily defeated in some instances, too challenging in others. There isn't enough variety. These are all flaws that can't be ignored. But here's the good news: they mostly don't matter.
The Legend of Dragoon review (PSX)
The Additions system was all right, but the Dragoon magic really annoyed me. First of all, in order to use the right spells, you have to have the right person in your party. There is no way for Meru to use a Fire spell, or for Albert to use a Thunder spell.
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete review (PSX)
Each character has conflicts to resolve, both outer and inner--such as the, uh, tempestuous relationship between Jessica and Kyle . . . Also, something else I appreciated is the fact that the characters were mainly original, and not stereotypes.

The unpublished case of a 90-year-old Belgian woman has been affected simultaneously with two variants of Kovit-19 | International
Will Smith Jul 11, 2021 0 Comments
A case that was not released Sunday by Belgian investigators Covid-19 died nonagenarian in March, After being affected simultaneously by two different types of alpha (British) and beta (South African), an event is undoubtedly "Underrated".
"This is one of the first documented cases of monetization of two worrying variants of SARS CoV 2," said study author and molecular biologist Anne Vankirbergan, cited in a report by the European Congress of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID).
On March 3, 2021, a 90-year-old woman with and without a specific medical history Not vaccinated, Was admitted to a hospital in the Belgian city of Alst after several falls, the case was presented to Congress and reviewed by its select committee.
According to the ECCMID, the nonagenarian who tested positive for COVID-19 initially offered "a good level of oxygen concentration and no signs of respiratory distress." However, "He soon developed severe respiratory symptoms and died five days later."The report says.
According to a biologist at OLV Hospital in Allst, "it is difficult to say whether monetization played a role in the two types of rapid deterioration of the patient's condition."
On extensive testing and deployment, the hospital found that SARS CoV 2 was infected with two strains of the virus, causing Covid-19: one originally from Great Britain, Called alpha, Another initially found in South Africa, Called beta.
"Both types were in circulation in Belgium at the time (March 2021), so there may be women Was affected by two different individuals. Unfortunately, we do not know how it got polluted, "said Dr. Vankirbergan.

To date, "No other cases have been released" Of the two variants of the coin, researcher Vankerbergen says it is "important" to sequence and study the "underestimated" series of an event.
Two cases of two different types of infections in Brazil were reported in a study in January, which "has not yet been published by a scientific journal," ECCMID said.

The Australian Government will provide an initial and immediate base payment of $1 million to 42 of the most severely bushfire impacted councils in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland to help quickly rebuild vital infrastructure and strengthen community resilience.
A further $18 million will be set aside to provide additional support to larger council areas which have experienced the most significant damage, with the National Bushfire Recovery Coordinator Andrew Colvin working with state governments and impacted local councils on determining this additional allocation.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the Government was committed to working hand in hand with regional communities to rebuild towns and villages.
"These payments will provide immediate assistance directly into the hands of local councils to rebuild roads and infrastructure, employ staff to help in recovery activities and hold events which bring the community together and bring tourists back to town," the Prime Minister said.
"We are moving immediately to support local councils and our funding will be in state government bank accounts by tomorrow.
"Importantly this is a base payment and just the start of our support for local communities, in what we know will be a long recovery."
Funding will be directed to councils which have been 'activated' by their respective state government for Category C bushfire disaster recovery relief under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA). Payments will not require matched funding from state governments.
Currently there are 40 councils across Australia in receipt of Category C assistance, including 33 in New South Wales, five in Queensland and two in South Australia (list attached).
Funding will also be provided to the Local Government Areas of East Gippsland and Towong in Victoria in recognition of an imminent request from the Victorian Government for Category C assistance for these severely impacted regions.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said the Government was backing regional communities to rebuild and recover.
"We have always known regional communities are Australia's most resilient and in the devastation of these fires we have seen again the remarkable community spirit existing in our regions, said the Deputy Prime Minister.
"The immediate payments to councils will boost affected economies by supporting local small businesses, farmers and trades as they rebuild, restock, replant and recover."
Minister for Natural Disaster and Emergency Management David Littleproud said the focus would be on supporting local communities.
"I've made it clear this won't be a Canberra led recovery, it'll be a locally led recovery and this is our first instalment in that process. We're empowering local governments to be part of that process today. We're committed to rebuilding communities but also the lives of those impacted by these devastating fires," Minister Littleproud said.
All funds will be drawn from the $2 billion allocated to the National Bushfire Recovery Agency and this is in addition to funding that is automatically available to councils through other disaster recovery arrangements.
The lump sum payments will be delivered by the Commonwealth by the close of business tomorrow to State Governments who administer payments to councils.
The only condition placed on councils is that they develop a Program of Works within three months and report back to the Commonwealth in 12 months' time.
Councils will be able to spend their $1 million payments on projects and activities that they deem essential for the recovery and renewal of their communities, including:
Rebuilding damaged or destroyed council assets such as key local roads, bridges, and community facilities;
Employing additional local staff to take on specialist recovery or planning roles to help coordinate and plan the rebuilding effort;
Hosting new public activities and events to bring communities together and attract visitors back to affected regions; and
Immediate maintenance and repairs to relief and evacuation centres.

Q: Hacer una tabla con arrays en Java pues estoy tratando de hacer la siguiente tabla en java:

Y la verdad no sé cómo, estoy haciendo un código basándome en algunos códigos que he encontrado, pero no consigo que funcione. Lo más que he logrado es que muestre las cantidades, pero aparecen verticalmente.
Esto es lo que llevo:

System.out.println(x[fila][columna]+"\t"); utilizas println es decir que luego de imprimir hace un salto de linea.
Ademas los sabores deben ser impresos dentro del primer for para ir agregando fina a fila.
Para solucionar agregue String sabores[]={"\nChocolate", "\nVainilla", "\nFresa\t", "\nOreo\t"};

ITCCS Breaking News: Brussels Court issues Summary Judgement against Jorge Bergoglio and other Ninth Circle members
Submitted by Rev Kevin D Annett on August 13, 2018 - 13:17
Here We Stand
Breaking News Communique from The International Tribunal of Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) August 12, 2018 Brussels Court issues Summary Judgement against Jorge Bergoglio and other Ninth Circle members; "Palace Coup" in the Vatican may disrupt Irish Papal visit as common law arrest teams converge on a "militarized" Dublin
Breaking News Communique from The International Tribunal of Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS)
Brussels Court issues Summary Judgement against Jorge Bergoglio and other Ninth Circle members;
"Palace Coup" in the Vatican may disrupt Irish Papal visit as common law arrest teams converge on a "militarized" Dublin
Brussels, Rome, Dublin
A European Court has issued a Summary Judgement against twelve accused members of the Ninth Circle sacrificial cult after none of the accused contested the criminal charges brought against them. "Pope Francis", Jorge Bergoglio, is named in the August 10 Judgement of the Brussels-based International Common Law Court of Justice, which reads in part,
"By refusing to respond to the Court's Summons the accused are declaring their implied guilt pro confesso, as if they have confessed to the charges brought against them. Accordingly, the Judgement requested by the plaintiffs is hereby granted, and all twelve of the accused are declared to be guilty of a monstrous criminal conspiracy to abduct, traffic, ritually torture and murder children. A Bench Warrant is hereby issued for the immediate arrest and imprisonment of the accused prior to their final sentencing."
Besides Jorge Bergoglio, the convicted cult members include Irish Catholic Cardinal Sean Brady and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, prominent European politicians and businessmen, and two top officials of the World Council of Churches, including Anglican Bishop Mark MacDonald of Canada.
The decision of the Court, which successfully convicted and deposed former Pope Benedict of crimes against humanity in February, 2013, has sent immediate shock waves through the Vatican. A source within the Curia, the Roman College of Cardinals, claims that Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria is now the front runner candidate in an impending "palace coup" that will remove Pope Francis/Jorge Bergoglio in the coming weeks, despite the upcoming papal visit to Ireland on August 25.
In Dublin, tensions are mounting as two separate teams of common law Sheriffs are preparing to enforce the standing arrest warrants against Pope Francis/Bergoglio. The Gardai police have locked down the city in response. Observers describe the "militarized" atmosphere in Ireland, the imprisonment of low income families in police stations after their eviction by landlords hoping to profit off the tourist influx, and policeharassment of protesters and common law activists, including the issuing of a so-called "terrorist watch list".
According to the ITCCS central office, which is coordinating the actions of the arresting Sheriffs,
"Despite the massive security around Bergoglio we are confident an arrest will be made. Fortunately, we will have the assistance of elements within the papal party itself as well as sympathetic Gardai officials. We are using to full advantage the ongoing factional struggle between the Ratzinger and Bergoglio camps within the Curia."

Anna Jurjewna Kikina (; * 27. August 1984 in Nowosibirsk, Russische SFSR, Sowjetunion) ist eine russische Kosmonautin.

Ausbildung
Kikina besuchte die Schule Nr. 29 für gesunde Lebensführung in Nowosibirsk. Einen Kurs beim Katastrophenschutzministerium der Russischen Föderation schloss sie im Jahr 2005 als Ausbilderin für Erste Hilfe  und einem Rettungsschwimmerzertifikat ab. Sie besuchte die staatliche sibirische Universität für Wassertransport und erwarb dort 2006 die Qualifikation einer Wasserbauingenieurin mit einem Abschluss für den Notfallschutz in Wasseranlagen und 2008 die Qualifikation einer Betriebswirtin und Wirtschaftsmanagerin für Transportunternehmen.

Beruf
Kikina arbeitete als Schwimmlehrerin, als Bergführerin im Altaigebirge und bildete Rettungskräfte beim Bergrettungsdienst aus. Außerdem war sie Programmdirektorin von Radio Sibirien-Altai.

Kosmonautentätigkeit

Ausbildung
Im Januar 2012 nahm Kikina am öffentlichen Wettbewerb um die Zulassung als Kosmonautin teil. Sie kam in die Auswahl und im September 2012 erhielt sie zusammen mit 8 anderen Bewerbern das erforderliche Gesundheitszeugnis für die Zulassung als Kosmonaut.

Im Oktober 2012 wurde Kikina Mitglied der Roskosmos-Kosmonauten-Mannschaft und begann mit dem allgemeinen Weltraumtraining im Juri-Gagarin-Kosmonautentrainingszentrum. Während des Trainings wurde in einem Wald in der Nähe von Moskau die Landung in bewaldetem sumpfigen Gebiet im Winter geübt.

Im Juni 2014 schloss Kikina das Training mit guten Noten ab. Jedoch wurde ihr aus unbekannten Gründen der Status Test-Kosmonaut verwehrt. Allerdings setzte sie ihre Ausbildung zur Kosmonautin fort. Sie erhielt ein Wassertraining zum Einsteigen in einen schwebenden Hubschrauber. Trainiert wurden die Landung in einer Wüste oder Halbwüste sowie die Notlandung in bergigem Gelände. Außerdem nahm sie an einem dreiwöchigen Fallschirm-Spezialtraining für Kosmonauten teil.

Im Dezember des Jahres 2014 wurde Kikina schließlich doch der Status einer Test-Kosmonautin verliehen.

Seit 2016 ist Kikina die einzige Frau in der Kosmonautenmannschaft von Roskosmos.

2017 nahm Kikina am SIRIUS-17-Isolations-Experiment (SIRIUS = Scientific International Research in Unique Terrestrial Station) teil, wobei ein 17-tägiger Mondflug simuliert wurde. Bei diesem Experiment lernte Kikina das Andocken an eine Raumstation und die Fernsteuerung eines Mondrovers. Sie testete Raumanzüge, die für diese Mission vorgesehen sind.

2018 absolvierte Kikina ein weiteres Fallschirmtraining für Kosmonauten, bei dem sie 40 Fallschirmsprünge ausführte.

Ebenfalls 2018 erhielt sie eine Schulung zur Durchführung visueller und instrumenteller Erdbeobachtung von der Internationalen Raumstation (ISS) aus und eine Ausbildung zur Teilnahme an der ISS-Expedition 67 (als Ersatzmannschaft) und der ISS-Expedition 68 als Hauptbesatzung.

Im Dezember 2021 gab der Generaldirektor von Roskosmos, Dmitri Olegowitsch Rogosin, bekannt, dass Kikina im September 2022 mit der SpaceX Crew-5 zur ISS fliegen würde. Im Mai 2022 wurde dieser Beschluss widerrufen und es hieß, dass aus politischen und technischen Gründen ein Flug russischer Kosmonauten auf amerikanischen Raumschiffen ausgeschlossen sei. Im Juni 2022 wiederum verkündete Roskosmos, dass Kikina in die Vereinigten Staaten reisen würde, um sich auf den Flug mit der SpaceX Crew-5 vorzubereiten. Im Juli 2022 löste Juri Iwanowitsch Borissow Rogosin als Leiter von Roskosmos ab. Am 21. September 2022 flog der Amerikaner Francisco Rubio zusammen mit Sergei Walerjewitsch Prokopjew und Dmitri Alexandrowitsch Petelin mit der Sojus MS-22 zur ISS.

SpaceX Crew-5, ISS-Expedition 68
Kikina flog am 5. Oktober 2022 zusammen mit Josh Cassada, Nicole Mann und Koichi Wakata mit einer Dragon 2 (Seriennummer C210, Name "Endurance") zur ISS. Das Raumschiff dockte 29 Stunden später am 6. Oktober um 5:01 pm EDT (21:01 UTC, 23:01 Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit) an der ISS an.

Die Rückkehr zur Erde erfolgte am 12. März 2023 um 02:02 UTC.

Sport
Kikina ist russische Meisterin im Mehrkampf und im Rafting. Sie war Mitglied des Altai-Teams im Kanuslalom und der russischen Rafting-Nationalmannschaft und beteiligte sich an den russischen Skilanglauf-Meisterschaften. Insgesamt hat Kikina mehr als 150 Fallschirmsprünge absolviert.

Anerkennung, Auszeichnungen und Ehrungen
2006 schloss Kikina ihr Studium zur Wasserbauingenieurin mit Auszeichnung ab. 2011 gewann sie bei den russischen Skilanglauf-Meisterschaften eine Silbermedaille.

2021 wurde sie zum Modell für eine Barbie-Sammelpuppe der Reihe Barbie Inspiring Women im Rahmen der Kampagne zur Ermunterung und Motivierung junger Mädchen zu einer freien Berufswahl mit dem Motto: "You Can Be Whoever You Want" (deutsch: Du kannst sein, wer immer du willst). Die Anna-Kikina-Barbie-Puppe wird nicht verkauft, sondern wird als Festtagsgeschenk vergeben oder kann als Preis gewonnen werden, bei Wettbewerben, die anlässlich des 60. Jahrestages des Starts von Juri Alexejewitsch Gagarin in den Weltraum veranstaltet werden.

Familie
Kikina ist verheiratet.

2019: We Will Dump PDP If Atiku Leaves – Group Vows
A group supporting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to vie for the 2019 presidency, says it would leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) should he leave the party. National Coordinator of "IamAtikulated2019" Ike Bishop Okoronkwo said this in a press conference in Abuja on Sunday.
According to Okoronkwo, Atiku is the only one that can transform the nation's economy, noting that he has all it takes to beat other contenders."We are protégés of Atiku. Wherever he goes, we will go. Whatever he ask us to do, we will do. We are campaigning for transformation of Nigeria's economy and employment of youths, the group's leader said.
"And having looked at the profiles of those currently aspiring to contest for President on the platform of PDP for 2019, we have identified Atiku as the only one with the character and content, political will and capacity required to bring the needed transformation that Nigerians are yearning for.
"The majority of the members of this platform, came from the various support groups that vigorously campaigned for General Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 general elections."

Bode George Joins 2023 Presidential Race
Peter Okunoren
Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George, has joined the 2023 presidential race.
Freedom Online learned that the former governor of old Ondo State joined the race after three meetings held in Lagos, London in UK and Berlin, Germany.
George, the Director-General (D-G) of the Umaru Musa Yar'Adua Campaign Organisation in 2006/2007, is still in London "strategizing and meeting some prominent Nigerians on how to actualize the ambition", said a source.
Although he is still a member of PDP, it is still not clear on which political platform George, the Atona Odua of Yorubaland, will launch the ambition.
Before leaving Nigeria for the London and Berlin meetings, Freedom Online learned that a former President and former Head of State had already endorsed the move to make George succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
This move is based on the partisan calculation that the presidency will move to the South-West.
Some members of Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organization led by nonagenarian Reuben Fasoranti, are also believed to be backing George's ambition.
Freedom Online learned that present at the London and Berlin meetings were a former Senate President, a former Chief of Naval Staff, a retired General who had issues with President Muhammadu Buhari when he was Head of State between December 31, 1983, and August 26, 1985, a prominent power broker during the administration of a former president, a former governor of a state in the North-East and two ministers during the Yar'Adua administration.
Freedom Online learned that George, an experienced administrator, orator, and politician, will unveil his presidential plans in the middle of 2020 and "the real fireworks will start in 2021".
A source disclosed that three committees – Finance, Strategy, and Contact – had already been set up, headed by the former Chief of Naval Staff, a former Minister, and a former South-South governor.
George is a prominent Lagosian, very close to the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu.
A prominent Lagos Prince, Uthman Shodipe-Dosunmu, who also confirmed the development, declared that "people may believe it is a joke now but when reality dawns on them, they will wake up.
The truth is that some prominent Nigerians have resolved to back Chief Bode George in the race for 2023. This is real and authoritative. In fact, a group, The Pathfinder Consortium, is already working underground as a foundation for a bigger and more robust national platform to actualize this presidential ambition.
"We can say 2023 is still far away but at the same time, it is not too far. Many stakeholders want real change in the country, politically and economically. This is not about PDP or APC. This is about Nigeria.
"I only attended the Lagos meeting. I was not part of the ones held outside the country so, I can't really give you details of what happened there. But, I can only tell you that this is a pan-Nigerian movement".
APC Disclaims Suit to Foist Third Term On Buhari
Ayobami Ladipo
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed a suit seeking an amendment to the 1999 Constitution to allow President Muhammadu Buhari to run for a third term in office, which was filed by one Charles Enya, whom it described as a self-proclaimed member of the party.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a statement yesterday said the party had initially chosen to ignore him but decided to disavow the suit to send a clear message to Enya and other troublemakers like him.
According to him, the president has said history would not be fair to party members if the APC collapses after his second term, stressing that what better proof is required of the president's resolve to abide by the constitution on term limit than such a statement.
He said at the last National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party, Buhari had assured party members that he would abide by the constitution and uphold the oath of office he took.
"The party is, however, by this statement sending a strong signal to such other busybodies like Charles Enya who may be contemplating testing the resolve of our government on our mission to work for the best for our country to be ready to face the law.
"We would follow this new enemy of our country, who is most likely being sponsored by the desperate and misguided opposition, every step of the way, using all legal means to thwart his devilish efforts to create chaos in our country.
"As a party, we would not take kindly to anyone or group causing an unnecessary distraction for this administration through anti-democratic actions. As a country, we are several years behind where we ought to be," he added.
The party spokesman noted that the Buhari-led administration is focused on the onerous responsibility of delivering good governance, revamping moribund infrastructure, growing the economy, fighting corruption, creating the right environment for teeming youths to deploy their creative energies and providing adequate security for all.
"We have tried to find out the status of this character claiming to be a member of our party. If he turns out to be our member, we would ensure the party organ that has the responsibility to act on this matter promptly commence the process of expelling him," he stated.
Issa-Onilu said APC as a progressive party would not tolerate anti-democratic forces and charlatans.
Bayelsa Decides: INEC Declares APC's David Lyon Winner With Over 200,000 Poll Margin To PDP's Flag Bearer
The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate David Lyon was, early this morning, declared Bayelsa State governor-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Lyon, 49, will succeed outgoing Governor Seriake Dickson, who has ruled the state since 2012
The APC thus ended the 20-year political dominance of the oil-rich Bayelsa State by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Returning Officer Prof. Faraday Orumwense, the vice-chancellor of the University of Benin, declared Lyon winner with 352,552 votes in Saturday's election. He won six of the eight local government areas
PDP's candidate Senator Duoye Diri, who came a distant second, polled 143,172 votes. He won in two local government areas.
There was jubilation in Yenagoa as soon as the Returning officer declared Lyon winner at the Prof. Mahmood Yakubu Media Centre, INEC Office, in Yenagoa.
Many people trooped to the streets of the state capital in celebration.
Southern Ijaw which is fondly called the Kano of Bayelsa state, gave the APC candidate the boost with 124, 803 votes as against the 4,898 recorded by the PDP.
The APC got 21,489 votes in Ekeremor Local Government Area of the state, while PDP scored 18344.
Senator Douye Diri, also recorded massive win in the home council of former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, Ogbia Local Government Area of the state with a total of 58,016 as against the vote of PDP of 13,763. The outcome according to political analysts is based on the open disrespect by the Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson against the former President.
Also massive was the 83,041 votes recorded by the APC in Nembe Local Government Area as against the PDP votes of 874. But the PDP had its share of massive vote at the home council of the State Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson in Sagbama with 60,339 votes and APC recorded 7,831.
At the Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Council, where the PDP flag bearer hails from, the PDP defeated the APC with 15,360 votes as against the 8,934 votes recorded by the APC.
In Brass Local Council Area where the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva hails from, the APC defeated the PDP with 23,831 as against 10,410 votes.
Declaring the winner, the returning officer of the 2019 gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa state, Mr. Faraday's Orunmwense, stated that with the power bestowed on him, David Lyon, after scoring the highest number of votes is returned as the winner of the election.
But the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in a press briefing earlier on Sunday night addressed by its flag bearer, Senator Douye Diri accused the Nigerian Army of conniving with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig the polls in parts of the state.
According to Senator Diri, though results collated by the party agents showed that the PDP has won the Governorship election, "members of the PDP were terrorized and arrested by soldiers on the orders of the General Officer Commanding the 6th Division of the Nigerian Army, General Sarham Jamil".
Senator Douye Diri, who spoke in company of the National Chairman of the PDP Campaign Council and Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed and National Vice Chairman of the Party, Elder Emmanuel Ogidi, noted that what is playing out in Bayelsa confirms the earlier red flag the PDP had raised days to the election about plots by the APC to use Gen Sarham, who had since been transferred to the Nigerian Defence Academy to defy his posting to supervise the state election.
According to the PDP candidate, critical stakeholders of the party were harassed and prevented from accessing the collation centre in Ogbia, which is former President, Goodluck Jonathan's Local Government Area.
Senator Diri said the Chairman of the Council, Hon Ebiyon Turner and a serving member of the state House of Assembly representing Ogbia Constituency Two, Hon Gibson Munalayefa were all arrested and detained by the Army operatives up till the time of the briefing.
In Southern Ijaw, he noted that PDP members who were travelling to their communities for the election including Dr Michael Amaegberi were also apprehended by soldiers at Ogboinbiri while their APC counterparts were allowed to go scot-free.
Senator Diri who commended the Independent National Electoral Commission and the media for their show of professionalism in the conduct and coverage of the election, however, urged them to maintain the tempo for the sake of democracy.
He called on the international community and lovers of democracy to prevail on the Nigerian Army to respect the rule of law and for democracy to thrive in Bayelsa and Nigeria in general.
His words, "The collation centre in Ogbia is under siege by the Nigerian Army and as we all know, this is against the laws of our land. It is an anathema because the Army has no business in determining who goes into a collation centre.
"Information available to us indicates that the General Officer Commanding, GOC, 6th Division has ordered officers and men from 6 Battalion, 343 Artillery, 5 and 29 Battalions were carrying out certain security functions to withdraw from the venue in Ogbia because they have failed to rig the election in Ogbia for the APC. It is totally unacceptable. For there to be peace, there has to be justice."

The Boston Red Sox legend would have turned 100 years old today. His legacy will live on forever.
The Reds have placed first baseman Joey Votto on the 10-day disabled list due to a right lower leg contusion, which he suffered nearly two weeks ago after being hit by a pitch against the Nationals.


I grew up in in the country outside the small town of Keokuk, Iowa. My best childhood memory is getting to be outdoors on our three acres, playing in the woods with my brothers. I loved just being still out there, listening to the wind in the trees and watching the birds and the squirrels.
When I was in elementary school, my dad and mom bought me a comic book Bible. I read that thing cover to cover multiple times. I was captivated by the story of The Father creating a good world, the brokenness of that world by mankind's rebellion, and Jesus' work of setting that world right. I experienced that story to be true through the Holy Spirit indwelt people of The Church.
My parents started me on piano when I was nine and my Grandpa got me going on an old Sears and Roebuck guitar. I played all the time and started writing and recording songs in high school. The songs and stories I write stem from life and faith, and I love to share them with others. I would love to come and play a concert for you at your church, venue or home. I hope you find some truth as you listen.

Biografia
Caterina Melzi d'Eril - in famiglia chiamata Catterina o Catti - era figlia del conte Carlo e di Carolina Barbiano di Belgioioso d'Este: avevano avuto otto figli, ma poi avevano deciso di non vivere più sotto lo stesso tetto. Sua sorella minore era Bice Melzi d'Eril che sposò il mantovano Carlo Gobio, cugino di Ippolito Nievo. Caterina Melzi d'Eril sposò l'avvocato Alessandro Curti che possedeva una villa a Gravedona, sul Lago di Como. Le due sorelle erano diverse di carattere: riflessiva, dolce era Bice, ma si dimostrò fragile; mentre Caterina era incostante, estroversa, di umore volubile, fantasiosa e si dimostrò più volitiva.

Ippolito Nievo
Nievo conobbe Caterina Curti a Milano, durante una visita in casa dei Gobio, che abitavano a casa "Belgioioso", in contrada dei Moriggi. Caterina Melzi d'Eril era sposata e già madre. Si sa il nome della sua seconda figlia: Maria Carolina Laura, detta comunemente Carolina, nata nel 1858. Sposò il conte veronese Polfranceschi e morì a quasi novant'anni.

La corrispondenza tra Ippolito Nievo e Caterina Curti Melzi d'Eril diventò fitta, fitta ad aprile 1858. Le lettere che Nievo le scrisse e che noi conosciamo sono numerose e tutte comprese nell'Epistolario, pubblicato da Marcella Gorra.
Nievo le rivelò, il 23 giugno, che stava scrivendo un romanzo, dal titolo Le Confessioni d'un Italiano. Le inviava missive lunghe e confidenti, a volte impertinenti e con sottintesi. Sorrideva, perché Caterina gli scriveva con caratteri minuti e di ciò gli chiedeva scusa: «Non conoscete i miei occhi? - le rispose una volta Nievo - Leggono sulla carta bianca; figuratevi poi nelle vostre lettere! Fossero i geroglifici egiziani, ancora almeno indovinerei la gentilezza squisita e il brioso umorismo che li detta.» Ippolito Nievo chiedeva sempre a Bice Melzi d'Eril notizie di sua sorella Caterina: «Tua sorella è a Milano o a Gravedona? Nell'ultima sua mi parlava di un bisogno assoluto di solitudine e di quiete. Io non le credo; ballerebbe colle seggiole e parlerebbe alle proprie dita.»

Dopo l'armistizio di Villafranca Nievo lascia la divisa garibaldina e va a Milano, dove pubblica un opuscolo politico, dal titolo Venezia e la libertà d'Italia. Scrive a Bice Melzi d'Eril: «Donna Caterina fanatica per gli imberbi veterani di Varese e di San Fermo, chi non avrebbe sorriso almeno a fior di labbro per ringraziar la fortuna di tanti sforzi fatti per sostenere la cadente mia ilarità? Eppur a Gravedona, se ti ricordi, io son solito a rosicchiarmi delle buone lune, ed anche l'ultima gita me ne offriva una buona occasione.»

Una lettera a Caterina
Scrisse Ippolito Nievo, da Udine, il 7 aprile 1858, a Caterina Curti Melzi d'Eril, in una delle sue più belle e lettere del suo Epistolario:

Ultimo contatto epistolare
All'inizio di luglio 1860 Ippolito Nievo è a Palermo, stabilmente a palazzo reale (oggi palazzo dei Normanni) dove ha sede l'intendenza dell'esercito garibaldino. Un diluvio di carte: pagamenti per divise, armi, munizioni; sbarchi di nuovi volontari garibaldini e partenza dell'esercito verso Milazzo; promozioni, ospedali militari e alloggiamenti; inoltre lettere dai Comuni siciliani che aderiscono alla Sicilia liberata dai Borbonici. Il 2 luglio trova il tempo per scrivere una letterina a Caterina Melzi d'Eril, per scusarsi di non averla salutata alla partenza da Milano e fa un settecentesco e impertinente accenno a Sterne:

Caterina Curti Melzi d'Eril forse rivide Ippolito Nievo, tra Natale e Capodanno 1860, quando lo scrittore passò qualche giorno a Milano, prima di recarsi a Mantova a salutare la madre e poi a Udine a trovare il padre. Nievo scomparve nel naufragio del vapore a ruote Ercole, in viaggio da Palermo a Napoli, nella notte fra il 4 e il 5 marzo 1861.

Carlo Pisani Dossi
A Milano, nel 1868, uscì un romanzo breve, dal titolo L'altrieri. Era il romanzo autobiografico e d'esordio del conte Carlo Alberto Pisani Dossi, noto come Carlo Dossi. Nato il giorno della fatal Novara, aveva all'epoca diciannove anni. Avrebbe fatto una brillante carriera in diplomazia ed è entrato nella letteratura italiana come uno dei primi e dei più dotati tra gli Scapigliati milanesi. Il suo romanzo era dunque la storia di un adolescente. Il capitolo Principessa di Pimpirampara si apre con un ballo, durante il carnevale milanese:

Caterina Curti Melzi d'Eril, che molti critici vedono come ispiratrice del personaggio di Pisana, era passata dal grande romanzo post romantico a quello d'esordio di uno Scapigliato.

Alla sua morte, la figlia Carolina la depose in una tomba, nel parco di villa Curti, a Gravedona. Chiese poi a suo zio Carlo Gobio (che dopo la morte della moglie Bice Melzi d'Eril si era risposato e aveva avuto altri figli) di poter trasferire il corpo della zia Bice da Bellagio a Gravedona, perché le due sorelle potessero dormine il sonno eterno una accanto all'altra.

Q: What is the definition of differentiation in normed space? I'm trying to generalize implicit&inverse function theorems in Euclidean spaces to the context of Banach spaces.
I'm wondering what would be the definition of differentiation in Banach space and below is what I guessed:

Let $V,W$ be nonzero norned spaces over $\mathbb{K}$ and $E$ be an open subset of $V$ and $p\in E$. (Under this setting, $p$ is a limit point of $E$)
Let $f:E\rightarrow W$ be a function.
Then, $f$ is differentiable at $x$ iff there exists a linear transformation $A:V\rightarrow W$ such that $\lim_{x\to p} \frac{||f(x)-f(p)-A(x-p)||}{||x-p||} = 0$.

Is this the correct definition?
Or, should I require $A$ to be bounded?

A: The standard definition requires $A$ to be bounded. There are many text on nonlinear analysis, like this one.

This reading order aims to provide the most comprehensive reading order for New 52 Trinity Characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Justice League titles.
– This order was born out of a number of other reading lists and my own experience, which was then extremely influenced by user recommendations and my own back issue reading. It is fluid and probably never complete.
– The order contains a list of issues featuring New 52 Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman and are considered "canon", and issues only appear once in the list at the most appropriate place to read said issue.
– Placement within the reading order is a mix of chronological and publication date. The placement is considered when it is best read.
– Cameos that aren't essential to the characters aren't necessarily included.
– Unfortunately, changes aren't tracked. Archives of older list can be found here.
– If you want a digital copy of this list, you can easily copy by printing to a PDF or copying and pasting the data into your own spreadsheet or text file.
– The links on the issue should lead you to that issue's entry at Mycomicshop.com and is a good place to see the cover and other details. Buying from that link helps support this site. Occasionally, we place other links like HC or TP which link to the collected edition containing that issue.
– New comics won't be added frequently (too time-consuming and constantly in flux anyways). No need to ask when I will update to add in the latest releases; it'll happen sometime, but not in any frequency to depend on the list to read your new issues. If you read new comics, both single issues and trades, then just read them as they come out.
Request, questions and updates: If you have any changes to request, please do so by commenting on the latest blog post or by using the contact form. You can also ask me a question on Tumblr.
First, it is not necessary to read every issue in this list.
The medium and its publication practices do not line up to a perfectly linear story, but rather a mix of concurrent stories that interact to varying degrees. This reading order will help you put an order to series you want to read – it does not necessarily improve your reading experience to read everything.
To start, we recommend any of the first titles you see in the list below, depending on which character interests you most. Or, start from one of the collections listed above, and pivot from there.
I love you guys! Thanks so much for this! I'd love to see you guys tackle the Teen Titans from the beginning someday.
This is excellent! Are you guys going to continue this list?
this is great but I would love a more comprehensive list. I have a large collection of tpb's that I organize in order of continuity on my bookshelf and I am curious about a few things (like where is the best place for Multiversity to sit) thanks.
This List appears to be a bit behind, will it be updated soon?

Q: When developing a nested for loop, how do i decide the conditions to be used? My output is not lining up correctly. The top is my target, while my output is the bottom. For this specific example the width equals 8. How should I create the conditions for my for loop?
I am a beginner developer and I have not learned discrete math yet. I believe my problem occurs in the third for loop. I want my spacing to be 0, 2, 4, etc.. How should I approach these types of problems?
The expected output:
        /\
       /  \
      /    \
     /      \
     ________

The code:
public static void methodName(int width) {
  for(int a = 0; a < width / 2 + 1; a++ ) {
    for(int b = width - 2; b > a; a--) {
      System.out.print(" ");
    }

    System.out.print("/");

    for(int c = 0; c < a; c++) {
      System.out.print(" ");
    }

    System.out.println("\\");
  }

  for(int d = 0; d < width; d++) {
    System.out.print("_");
  }

  System.out.println();
}

Actual output:
       /\
      / \
     /  \
    /   \
   /    \
 ________

A:
How should I approach these types of problems?

I would suggest approaching the problem by stepping through the code either on a piece of paper, a white board or using a debugger. See how your actual output differs from your expected output. It never hurts to draw the output or write out the code.
How?
Take a value for width and plug it in. Step through the code, one line at a time, and keep track of all your local variables like a, b, etc. Eventually you will come across the code where your expected output is different from your actual output. It should be pretty self explanatory from here.
Note: I think this is homework so I don't want to do the problem for
 you.

A: working code:
public static void methodName(int width){

        for(int a = 0; a < width / 2 + 1; a++ ) {
            for(int b =0; b < width/2-a;b++) {//get the middle - our postion
                System.out.print(" ");
            }

            System.out.print("/");

            for(int c = 0; c < (width-(width-a))*2; c++) {//Just the opposite
                System.out.print(" ");
            }

            System.out.println("\\");
        }

        for(int d = 0; d < width+2-width%2; d++) {//odd or even numbers has /2 different
            System.out.print("_");
        }

        System.out.println();
    }

(Another suggestion while debugging use "|" instead of " ", its much more easier to see and understand what is going on)

A: Have a look to generate two side of triangle help your self for remaining side and debug program to solve it.
for(int i=WIDTH; i>=0;i--) {
    for(int j=0;j<=i;j++) {
        System.out.print(" ");
    }
    System.out.print("/");
    for(int k=i;k<WIDTH;k++) {
        System.out.print("  ");
    }
    System.out.println("\\");
}

A: Try to devide the problem into small chunks and analyse them each one by one

*Look at the result and try to find the difference to what you expected it to be. Is there an error-pattern? Which part fails, which part works fine?

*Try to connect from the parts(3 lines and 2 blank spaces) of the result to the code which produces them.

*Fix the frist part you find an error in, then go to the next one
In your case:

*

*left blank space looks good

*left line looks good

*middle blank space seems to be wrong.

*right line goes down straight instead of going to the right(ignore for now, first fix 3. then look back again)

Sounds like someone is doing us a favour ensuring that any hosts with default SNMP passwords are being taken offline.
I remember reading years ago that most ISPs hadn't secured SNMP and it was possible to get the name\address details of a customer with only their IP. I never saw any details on how to actually do it though.
I'm sure the NSA and GCHQ know this trick.
Who lets SNMP in the firewall?!?
Re: Who lets SNMP in the firewall?!?
And what about the devices that sit outside your firewall?
Do you have an ISP or locally maintained Internet router that your firewall/firewalls plug into?
I've found a few home routers with insanely simple "passwords" on the SNMP side. I don't understand why SNMP is in a home router, and especially not why it is on by default with "public" as the SET community string. So it is part of my standard lock-down to mash a very long string into there, save, then turn SNMP off totally.
If the TTL can be set, then so too can the DNS Servers be changed to ones controlled by the hacker.
There are going to be a lot of routers out there that have been installed in the past few years that this attack is going to pick up.
"why SNMP is in a home router"
"I don't understand why SNMP is in a home router"
Wtf should it NOT be?
E.g. if every SoHo modem/router had the ADSL Line MIB, there'd be a lot fewer discussions on DSL SNR history etc. My D-Link DSL604+ nearly had it over a decade ago (data was there, but not in the official format). Marginally more recently my BT Voyager 21xx had it. If I knew of a current modem/router with the same capability I'd buy it today (suggestions welcome).
I do agree that having write access to the SNMP stuff in general is rather silly, especially from the WAN side of the router.
Re: "why SNMP is in a home router"
I agree; SNMP stats are so useful for diagnosing faults, particularly when trying to track down long-term trend faults that aren't shown from the noddy control panels on most devices. But no devices should be configured to answer SNMP on the WAN side by default, and the RW string should not be set to Private by default ever. Have the options configurable, but don't remove the service entirely.
Finally, somebody found a use for SNMP!
