From the time he discovered his mother's cookware, Vinny St. Marten filled his world with music. "For years I drove my family crazy, using forks and spoons to bang on pots and pans, as I listened to music on the radio. It got so bad that my family hid all the silverware from me. So in the middle of the night, I found two 4 lb. jars of coffee, dumped the coffee down the toilet, and taped the jars together. It was my first pair of bongos. We were so poor that my mother couldn't afford to hire a plumber. She spent hours plunging the toilet and screaming at me."
"One of my brothers suggested that mama should buy me a set of drums. I got my first drum set when I was twelve. One by one, 'for sale' signs went up all over the neighborhood as complaints about the noise grew. But I didn't care. Who needed neighbors? I had my drums."
Vinny was raised in Glen Cove, New York, in a neighborhood known as "The Orchard." It was home to many immigrant families, mostly Italian. There were grape arbors, and bocce courts. Behind his house was a small farm. Vinny still recalls hearing the sounds of chickens and sheep outside his window.
His father had been a farmer in Calabria. In America he found work on an estate, managing a huge garden and caring for the livestock. Vinny remembers his dad pushing him in a wheelbarrow, as he gave him a tour of the grounds. "Papa" held the same job for 65 years, until he retired.
His mother was married at twelve and had her first child when she was thirteen. Vinny was the last of sixteen children. He and his brothers slept three and four in a bed. "I remember hearing the sound of rats scratching in the walls as we tried to sleep. But I just assumed that everyone lived that way."
Vinny was born with glaucoma, which was a very rare occurrence for a newborn. His condition was written about in several medical journals. He also had recurring cataracts and endured twelve eye surgeries, until finally losing his sight when he was about eight years old. In 1956, he received one of the first corneal transplants on the East Coast. There were newpaper articles, television cameras, get well messages from celebrities, and even a marriage proposal. Sadly however, the operation was not successful.
But music became Vinny's lifeline. Once he began playing drums and singing, he formed a band and started his life as a professional musician. When he was eighteen, he left Glen Cove and moved to Manhattan. There he found studio work and played on recordings by The Four Seasons ("The Good Ship Lollipop"), Spanky and Our Gang ("Sunday Will Never Be the Same") and The Essex ("Easier said Than Done"), among others. Vinny was at one of these recording sessions during the blackout of 1965. He knew his way around the building and was able to safely guide everyone down the stairwells to the street.
In 1968, Vinny was the first artist signed to Davy Jones Records. The record was called "Gypsy Girl" and just recently, Vinny was able to find pristine copies of the 45 in Australia. He was also featured in some of the teen magazines of the day. And he continued his studio work, most notably at ABC records and Bell Sound.
He met Elysa Sunshine in 1973. She answered an ad that Vinny and his band had posted in a local newspaper. When he heard that a young woman was coming to audition, he told his bandmates that he didn't want any girls in the band. "They're too much trouble," he said. However, after hearing Elysa play and sing, he realized that he had to hire her. 33 years later, they are still best friends and musical soulmates.


Tissue distribution of teicoplanin, a large glycopeptide antibiotic, is slow but at equilibrium its whole body distribution volume is relatively large (Vss = 1.18–2.78 liter/kg), despite a high binding to plasma albumin. In vivo distribution into liver is extensive. Previous in vitro homogenate studies suggest that teicoplanin binds to cell membranes but only enters some cells. This possibility was investigated with isolated hepatocytes incubated for 4 h with [14C]teicoplanin alone and in the presence of additional teicoplanin (1 and 100 μg/ml). Uptake was determined after separating the cells by rapid centrifugation through a dibutyl phthalate layer and assessing viability by the trypan blue exclusion test. Teicoplanin cell uptake curves, initially rapid followed by slower distribution (which agrees with in vivo findings), were adequately described by a closed two-compartment model. Whereas entry into hepatocytes was independent of drug concentration, binding to the cell exterior membrane was concentration-dependent. The equilibrium distribution ratio (Kpuc ± S.D.; 42 ± 10) was somewhat smaller than estimated in vivo (106 ± 9), but similar to that reported previously in vitro using liver homogenates (54 ± 11). Also, the estimated membrane permeability-surface area product was larger in vitro than in vivo (PSu ± S.D.; 5.5 ± 2.9 versus 0.74 ± 0.10 ml/min per whole liver). The most likely explanation for this difference is that in vivo only a small fraction of the total cell surface area is exposed to the perisinusoidal space, where exchange occurs.

Books of 2017 Evening Talks
Posted on November 10, 2017 August 29, 2019 by Gilbert - Hampshire Libraries
Once again we approach the finale of another fantastic year of reads and publications with a series of discussion evenings and author talks!
Meet The Authors – Wednesday 29th November 2017
Join us to hear from a wonderful line-up of three historical fiction writers. Performance Hall, Winchester Discovery Centre
Jane Harris (pictured left) is a bestselling historical novelist. Her debut 'The Observations' was Jane Harris is a bestselling historical novelist. Her debut 'The Observations' was shortlisted for the Orange Prize. Her latest 'Sugar Money' is set in Martinique in 1765. Brothers Emile and Lucien are charged by their French master with a mission. They must return to Grenada, the island they once called home, and smuggle back the 42 slaves claimed by English invaders. With great characters, a superb narrative set up, and language that is witty, bawdy and thrillingly alive, this is a novel to treasure.
Marcel Theroux (pictured centre) is an author and broadcaster. His new novel 'The Secret Books' is a gripping story of one man whose career as a Russian spy leads him to uncover a manuscript which holds the secrets of Jesus' lost years. Based on real events, this is a page-turning adventure, a meditation on the nature of belief and an examination of the stories that humans are willing to kill and die for. Theroux takes the reader on a gripping journey through 19th century Paris, the Russian Empire and India in a world of spies, double crossing, propaganda and lost love.
Kate Griffin (pictured right) is the author of the fabulous Kitty Peck series. Kate works at the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, and her passion for historical detail is central to her writing. In this third book 'Kitty Peck and the Daughter of Sorrow' we are taken on a romp around the grimy haunts of Victorian East London, as our heroine gets sucked into a web of blackmail, murder and vice.
Books for sale and signing on the night.
Starts: 7:30pm Price: £7.00. Tickets available online and through the box office at 01962 873603.

O dm-crypt é um subsistema de criptografia de disco transparente, nas versões 2.6 e posteriores do núcleo do Linux e no DragonFly BSD. Ele faz parte da infraestrutura do mapeador de dispositivos e usa rotinas criptográficas da API Crypto do núcleo. Ao contrário de seu antecessor cryptoloop, o dm-crypt foi projetado para suportar modos avançados de operação, como XTS, LRW e ESSIV (veja a teoria de criptografia de disco), para evitar ataques de marca d'água. Além disso, o dm-crypt também resolve alguns problemas de confiabilidade do cryptoloop.

O dm-crypt é implementado como um alvo do mapeador de dispositivos e pode ser empilhado sobre outras transformações do mapeador de dispositivos. Ele pode, assim, criptografar discos inteiros (incluindo mídia removível), partições, volumes RAID de software, volumes lógicos e arquivos. Ele aparece como um dispositivo de bloco, que pode ser usado para fazer backup de sistemas de arquivos, swap ou como um volume físico de LVM.

Algumas distribuições Linux suportam o uso de dm-crypt no sistema de arquivos raiz. Essas distribuições usam initrd para solicitar ao usuário que insira uma senha no console ou insira um cartão inteligente antes do processo normal de inicialização.

Frontends
O alvo do mapeador de dispositivos dm-crypt reside inteiramente no espaço do núcleo, e está preocupado apenas com a criptografia do dispositivo de bloco - ele não interpreta nenhum dado em si. Ele depende de front-ends do espaço do usuário para criar e ativar volumes criptografados e gerenciar a autenticação. Pelo menos dois frontends estão atualmente disponíveis:o cryptsetup e o cryptmount.

cryptsetup
A interface da linha de comando cryptsetup, por padrão, não grava nenhum cabeçalho no volume criptografado e, portanto, fornece apenas o essencial: as configurações de criptografia devem ser fornecidas toda vez que o disco for montado (embora normalmente empregado com scripts automatizados) e apenas uma chave pode ser usada por volume. A chave de criptografia simétrica é derivada diretamente da frase secreta fornecida.

Por não ter um "sal", o uso de cryptsetup é menos seguro neste modo do que no caso do Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS). No entanto, a simplicidade do cryptsetup torna-o útil quando combinado com software de terceiros, por exemplo, com autenticação de cartão inteligente.

O cryptsetup também fornece comandos para lidar com o formato de disco do LUKS. Esse formato fornece recursos adicionais, como gerenciamento de chaves e alongamento de chaves (usando o PBKDF2), e lembra a configuração do volume criptografado nas reinicializações.

cryptmount
A interface cryptmount é uma alternativa à ferramenta "cryptsetup" que permite que qualquer usuário monte e desmonte um sistema de arquivos dm-crypt quando necessário, sem precisar de privilégios de superusuário após o dispositivo ter sido configurado por um superusuário.

Sounds which accompany the human kind have been changing for years. The primary soundscape was quiet, then the Industrial Revolution came and drastically increased its volume. Consequently, the human ear got used to the noise, which became an integral soundtrack of developing cities of the 20th century.
By the end of the century, the excess noise became undesirable and has been viewed as a serious problem ever since. The increasing concern about sound pollution resulted in the reduction of noise in many areas: from the public sphere, through work places, to the interiors of our homes. Thus, surroundings in which we function become quieter.
Digital and electronic solutions which are so popular nowadays, cause the presently manufactured devices to make no sound when launched. It is frequently the case, that new sounds are being added to these devices in order for the quiet objects to be more understandable for the user. As a result, digitally-generated sounds shape the current soundscape in a significant way.
It is a common practice among designers to concentrate mainly on the visual aspect of a product. However, recently the design sector has started to pay more attention to the relation between visual layer and other senses. In some cases, the material used is chosen according to user's preferences in terms of touch. Designers and stylists in the food industry consider visual aspects of equal importance as smell and taste.
Out of all the senses, one which is most frequently ignored by designers is the sense of hearing. In the light of the changing soundscape, as well as the new technological and material innovations, it seems that the time has come for furniture designers to shape the soundscape of our surroundings in a more deliberate way. It is high time for the sound to be included as a vital element of objects.

We fear loneliness the most in life. We surround ourselves with people all the time, some of them matter, while others are just distractions. Why are we afraid to be on our own? Because spending time alone can be equally liberating and haunting, but it helps in a number of ways. This MissionSelf post will tell you how and why.
"I think it's very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."
Remember the last time you spent some time alone, with yourself, just yourself? And it does not include the time when you were texting or checking out someone's pictures on any social networking site. It's hard, isn't it? Just being alone, not lonely but alone.
Our society has become extremely pro-social, and we are constantly with people; sometimes physically, sometimes virtually. Man is a social animal, and of course we cannot live alone, but sometimes you just need a break from everything. And, that is definitely not a bad thing. Loneliness is bad, but wanting to spend some lone time once in a while is not.
Sometimes I feel, we are scared of being alone. Why? Maybe we don't want to face our inner demons, or simply because we cannot pretend things are okay. Convincing others is very easy, but you cannot convince yourself. Probably, that is the most important reason why you should spend some time alone, to discover yourself, in numerous ways.
Being alone can be very liberating. It's like shedding all the layers that we put in front of people and confronting the real you. Travel alone, you will cherish the experience forever. It will help you get a new perspective on life, and memories that will last lifelong. You may be able to understand what you really want from life in those moments of solitude.
How can you love someone, if you cannot love yourself? We become so used to the support and love of our closed ones, that they tend to become our weakness. Our relationships start to define us. The person that instantly comes to your mind, the one you miss the most, will be the one who matters. It will help you figure out what you really want from your relationships.
When you are alone, you can introspect, understand what you really want in life, be true to your feelings, and take uninfluenced decisions. Even 15 precious minutes with a steaming cup of coffee in the morning are enough to relax, think, and plan your day. Just a healthy conversation with self is enough to bring a little control in life.
When you are alone you can do what you want to do without the fear of being judged. Afraid of dancing in front of people? Dance like a maniac in front of your mirror. Believe me, you won't find a better audience. The pleasure of singing in the bathroom is unparalleled. Why? Because you are alone, nobody cares how bad, and off tune you sing. Basically get totally crazy, and do all the things you can never do in public. It will help you lighten up, and lose some inhibitions. You may realize that you are not that bad a singer after all!
Is your mind caught up in a particularly unsolvable problem? It's good to ask people for advice, but finally it's gonna be your decision. Take some time off, go for a long walk, or a run, and you will find the answer you have been looking for. A witty and intellectual conversation with yourself is very satisfying. It will also make you independent. Nobody to tell you what to do, awesome isn't it? Basically, being alone helps you clear your head, and deal with all that is hidden in the deepest recesses of your mind and heart.
Being alone gives you time to recharge your physical and mental batteries. It helps you get rid of all the negative energy you compile on a daily basis. Do you really care what someone had for dinner, or who hooked up with whom? Just being away from everybody for some time will help you delete all the clutter outta your life. Do nothing, don't think, or analyze your life. Just be with yourself. Enjoy your own company.
You realize what is important in life. We are constantly running, take some time to stop. Being alone will help you enjoy the little things that you never realized mattered. Sitting by your window and watching the rain, absolute bliss! And please don't go about clicking pictures for Instagram. Just enjoy the moment. Take a stroll down the park, spend some time with nature, or go for a long ride; it helps.
You will become much tolerant and patient. Once you start becoming comfortable with yourself, you will be more accepting of people. You may start ignoring little things that used to immediately irk you before. Being on your own will help you come to terms with yourself. Of course, this will be a gradual process, and it's not gonna happen after spending a day lazing on the sofa alone.
On a concluding note, just a small reminder - Happiness starts with YOU, not with your relationships, your job, or your money, only with You.

FOR my road trip, I rented a Chinese-made Jeep Cherokee from a Beijing company called Capital Motors. It was a new industry; even five years earlier, almost nobody would have thought of renting a car for a weekend trip. But now the business had started to develop, and my local Capital Motors branch had a fleet of about 50 vehicles, mostly Chinese-made Volkswagen Santanas and Jettas.
They are small sedans, built on the same basic model as the VW Fox that was once sold in the US. At Capital Motors, I often rented Jettas for weekend trips, and there was an elaborate ritual to these transactions. First, I paid my $US25 ($41) a day and filled out a mountain of paperwork.
It was my responsibility to return the car with exactly the same amount of fuel. Week to week, it was never the same, and one day I decided to make my own contribution to the fledgling industry.
"I'm sure they would," I said.
"You don't understand Chinese people!" Mr Wang said, laughing, and the other men nodded their heads in agreement.
As a foreigner, I often heard that, and it had a way of ending discussion. The Chinese people had invented the compass, paper, the printing press, gunpowder, the seismograph, the crossbow and the umbrella. They had sailed to Africa in the 15th century; they had constructed the Great Wall. Over the past decade they had built their economy at a rate never before seen in the developing world.
They could return a rental car with exactly three-eighths of a tank of gas, but filling it was apparently beyond the realm of cultural possibility. We had a couple more conversations about this, but finally I dropped the subject. It was impossible to argue with somebody as friendly as Mr Wang.
He seemed especially cheerful whenever I returned a freshly damaged car. In the US, I had never had an accident, but Beijing was a different story. When I first came to the capital and walked around, I was impressed by the physicality of pedestrians. I was constantly getting bumped and pushed. In a city of 13 million you learn to expect contact, and after I got my licence I realised that driving works the same way.
The first couple of times I dented a Jetta, I felt terrible; after the fourth or fifth time, it became routine. I bumped other cars; other cars bumped me. If there was a dent, we settled it in the street, the way everybody does in China.
I bargained for five minutes, until the other driver finally agreed to 150. Mr Wang was satisfied; he knew you never get what you ask for. And every accident had a silver lining: dents were good business. There wasn't any paperwork for these exchanges, and I suspected that the desk men at Capital Motors sometimes kept the cash.
Another time I hit a dog while driving in the countryside north of Beijing. The animal darted out from behind a house and lunged at the front of my Jetta; I swerved, but it was too late. That was a common problem; Chinese dogs, like everybody else in the country, weren't quite accustomed to having automobiles around. When I returned the car, Mr Wang seemed pleased to see that the plastic cover for the right signal light had been smashed. He asked me what I had hit.
I couldn't tell if he was joking; he was a dog owner, but in China that doesn't necessarily involve dietary restrictions. He charged me 12 bucks for the light cover, the same price as a midsize dent.
They never asked where I was taking the Jeep Cherokee. The rental contract specifically forbade drivers from leaving the Beijing region, but I decided to ignore this rule; they wouldn't figure it out until I returned the Jeep with a loaded odometer. In China, much of life involves skirting regulations, and one of the basic truths is that forgiveness comes easier than permission.
The Jeep was the biggest vehicle on the lot, a Cherokee 7250, and they gave me a special price of $US30 a day. It was white, with purple detailing along the sides; the doors were decorated with the English words "City Special". The name was accurate — the thing would be worthless in rough terrain, because it was strictly rear-wheel drive. I figured that if I got stuck in the Gobi or ran into other problems, I'd have to rely on the assistance of other drivers.
At any rate, if things got bad in the west I could always call Mr Zhang, the feng shui master. On his business card he offered to "tow cars and trucks" — service No 22, listed between "collecting bones" and "playing horns and drums".
Yesterday I was having some work done on my car at the local garage. While I was talking to Bert, the Mechanic, a woman came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten….
Bert gave the woman a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710.
Noah's Ark discovered again: "CHINESE and Turkish evangelical explorers believe they may have found Noah's Ark – 4000m up a mountain in Turkey. The team said it had recovered wooden specimens from a structure on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey that carbon dating proved was 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have been afloat. The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, which were believed to house animals, he said. The group of evangelical archaeologists ruled out an established human settlement on the grounds that one had never been found above 3500m in the vicinity, Mr Yeung said. After the flood waters receded, the Bible says, the ark came to rest on a mountain. Many believe that Mount Ararat, the highest point in the region, is where the ark and her inhabitants came aground.
Detailed analysis and painstaking restoration over the previous two years mean that now, if it were ever to come to auction, this previously rather tatty picture could even beat the £49.5 million record for an Old Master painting achieved in 2002 by Rubens's The Massacre of the Innocents.

Back HCV Disease Progression Fibrosis/Cirrhosis Liver Cirrhosis Is More Common in U.S. than Previously Believed
Liver Cirrhosis Is More Common in U.S. than Previously Believed
New estimates indicate that more than 600,000 people in the U.S. have liver cirrhosis -- about 200,000 more than previously thought -- according to a study published online in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology. Cirrhosis was associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, heavy alcohol use, and diabetes.
Cirrhosis is an advanced stage of liver disease characterized by scarring that interferes with normal function. Over years or decades hepatitis B or C, heavy alcohol use, and other factors that injure the liver can cause cirrhosis, which in turn can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma and end-stage liver failure.
Steven Scaglione from Loyola University Medical Center and colleagues estimated the prevalence of cirrhosis in the general U.S. population using data from the National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 1999 and 2010.
Cirrhosis prevalence was approximately 0.27%, or 633,323 adults.
69% of people with cirrhosis were unaware they had liver disease.
Cirrhosis prevalence was higher among blacks, Mexican-Americans, people living below the poverty level, and those with less education.
Viral hepatitis (mostly HCV), diabetes, and heavy alcohol use accounted for more than half (53.5%) of all cases.
Mortality was 26.4% per 2-year interval among people with cirrhosis compared with 8.4% among propensity-matched control subjects.
While this figure is substantially higher than the previous estimate of 400,000, it is still likely too low since NHANES excludes populations with high hepatitis C rates such as undocumented immigrants prisoners, and homeless people.
"Public health efforts are needed to reduce this disease burden, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities and individuals at lower socioeconomic status," the study authors concluded.
Below is an edited excerpt from a recent Loyola press release describing the study findings in more detail.
Liver Cirrhosis More Common than Previously Thought, Study Finds
Maywood, Il. -- Cirrhosis of the liver is more common than previously thought, affecting more than 633,000 adults yearly, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology.
And surprisingly, 69 percent of the adults identified as possibly having cirrhosis may not know they have this disease.
"Although some of these individuals may simply have forgotten or been confused about the question, this raises the possibility of a large number of undiagnosed cases of cirrhosis," first author Steven Scaglione, MD, and colleagues reported. Dr. Scaglione is an assistant professor in the departments of Medicine (Hepatology) and Public Health Sciences of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
Alcohol abuse, diabetes and hepatitis C were the most significant contributing factors in more than 50 percent of the cirrhosis cases. All three of these factors are potentially preventable, Dr. Scaglione said.
Cirrhosis is end-stage scarring of the liver. Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, bleeding or bruising easily, nausea, swelling and confusion. But many patients have no symptoms. Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure and liver cancer. In the United States, cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death overall and the fifth leading cause of death for patients aged 45 to 54.
Dr. Scaglione and colleagues performed the first ever study to estimate the prevalence of cirrhosis in the general population. They examined data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), an annual survey of a representative sample of U.S. adults conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The prevalence of cirrhosis was approximately 0.27 percent, which corresponds to 633,323 adults in the United States. Previous best-guess estimates pegged the number of adults with cirrhosis at about 400,000.
Among the study's other findings:
People with cirrhosis had a mortality rate of 26.4 percent during a two-year interval, compared with a 8.4 percent two-year mortality rate among similarly matched adults who did not have cirrhosis.
Compared with the general population, people with cirrhosis tended to be older. Men were more at risk for cirrhosis than women. Prevalence was higher among poor people and people without a domestic partner. Prevalence declined with increasing levels of education.
A quarter of people with cirrhosis reported they drank alcohol in excess during the prior year, and nearly half tested positive for the hepatitis C virus.
The study has limitations. The technique used to determine whether subjects in the survey had cirrhosis has not been validated in the general population. Thus it's possible the technique may have misclassified some patients with mild liver disease as cirrhotics. The study took a snapshot of a representative population at a specific time, rather than following the population over time. And the true prevalence of cirrhosis is likely higher than the study found, because the NHANES survey did not include prisoners, immigrants and military veterans.

HomeOg, King of Bashan
Og, King of Bashan
August 15, 2016 Rabbi Ben Herman
One of my favorite streets in Jerusalem is Emek Refaim in the German Colony. I lived off of it when I studied at Pardes and the Conservative Yeshiva, and I loved going out on Saturday night to the restaurants-especially Burgers Bar. Emek Refaim is generally taken as meaning "valley of the ghosts" but an alternative meaning is "valley of the giants," and it is that on which I want to focus today. Og King of Bashan, who was killed in Parshat Hukkat, is described in this week's portion as the only survivor of the Refaim.[1] The Refaim were a group of giants who lived during biblical times. They were larger than any other people-as we learned in Tractate Soferim, Og was so big that he could hide Abraham's feet in the palm of his hand, and Abraham himself was the height of 74 men![2]
What happened to the Refaim? In Genesis,[3] King Chedarlaomer waged war against the Refaim and killed them all, except for one refugee[4] who told Abraham of the destruction and of how his nephew Lot was captured-and that refugee is said to be Og.[5] Abraham made Og into his servant and there is even an account of Og being Eliezer who went down to find a wife for Isaac.[6] A different account has Og surviving the flood by sitting on one of the wooden planks in the ark after promising Noah and his sons that he would serve them forever.[7]
Where in this story did things go wrong, where Og became a king who waged war against Israel during its journey in the desert? Midrash Rabbah presents a different account-that Og had told Abraham about the capture of Lot so that he would die in battle, at which point Og could marry Sarah.[8] It appears that Pharaoh and Avimelech were not the only two jealous of Abraham's marriage to Sarah. It was therefore quite to Og's surprise when Abraham can back unscathed from his defeat of Chedarlaomer, and Og would from that point on be at war with the descendants of Abraham.
In addition to Og surviving from among the Rephaim, the Torah describes him as having an iron bed which can still be found in Rabbat B'nei Amon and which was 9 cubits (13.5 feet) long and 4 cubits (6 feet) wide. According to Midrash, when Og was a boy placed in a crib, he broke through the wood and hence needed iron to sustain his massive frame.[9] He was certainly a giant of a man.
Why should we care about this? After all, Og had become an enemy of our people so his massive size should not be described in such great detail. The Midrash states that Og's giant nature needed to be described to show the greatness of Moshe in defeating him.[10] Similarly, many verses are given to describing Goliath in detail in order to show the greatness of David in being able to defeat him. This is why G-d had told Moses אל תירא אותו "Do not fear him,"[11] as you have the ability to defeat him. Through faith in G-d, Moses was able to defeat this giant and conquer his land.
As we prepare for Tisha B'Av this evening and tomorrow, the day on which we recount the destruction of both our Temples, our expulsion from Spain and all the other calamities that befell our people, we need to take a moment to have the faith of Moses that through trust in G-d we will eventually prevail over those who seek to do us harm. If the giant Og could have been defeated, how much more so can we defeat our adversaries. We also have to keep in mind the possibility that people are not always who they appear to be. According to our tradition, Og began as a "gentle giant" and full-fledged member of the household of Abraham. It's only later on that he turned against our people. As vigilant as we are and as we must be against our enemies let us also keep in mind the possibility of their repentance and turning back to join with our way of life.

Taking advantage of the state-of-the-art design methods used in the flagship line MILLE, the team of electro-acoustic designers achieved top performance, never before achieved in this category, to offer you real added value. Thanks to a design planned to the last detail, the Cento loudspeakers maintain a linear and controlled output, even at the very high listening volumes required by younger fans. Hertz Cento is the first step into the exciting world of in-car listening at the highest levels.
The two-way systems Cento CK 165 and CK 130, respectively equipped with 16.5 cm (6.5 in.) and 13 cm (5 in.) cones, share the new C 26 tweeter featuring a 26 mm (1 in.) Tetolon® dome and 20 mm (0.8 in.) voice coil for a detailed and natural reproduction of medium-high frequencies. The R&D team worked extensively to optimize the C 26 dispersion characteristics to maximize performance on the listening point, with a natural and progressive roll-off and a natural timbre that favors frequency linearity. Much time was invested in the research of the perfect material for the C 165 and C 130 woofer cones: through a long process of customization of the materials SPP-M was selected (Semi Pressed Paper-Mica), which preserves the natural sound of the semi-pressed paper and enhances it with Mica powder improving rigidity.
The result is an excellent balance between lightness and damping, essential for a powerful and controlled emission. The oversized ferrite magnet provides excellent control even at higher excursions. The ultra compact CCX 2 crossover featuring tweeter emission level control (0, +3 dB) uses selected components for a full and engaging sound. The CG 165 and CG 130 grilles included in the Cento systems brighten up the car interior with their sophisticated design. Made of high resistance ABS with metal mesh, they offer a high degree of protection within a compact size, ideal for in-car installation.


To be gleaned from the whistling breeze.
What pantheon calls back to the unworthy?
They merely imagine, the others say.
It is chosen through imagination.
So where to lay your bet?
You have already, can you be sure?
And breaks the fragile will.

What is Inositol?
HomeLifestyleWellness
By Glenda Taylor
Inositol is a carbocyclic sugar that naturally occurs in a variety of foods such as nuts, grains, beans, and fruit. Though there are nine types of inositol, most people are referring to myo-inositol when speaking about inositol. Myo-inositol has wide-ranging beneficial effects on many different conditions and disorders. Historically, the medical community also used the name vitamin B8 instead of inositol. However, because the body is capable of creating inositol, it is not an essential nutrient. This has caused the vitamin classification to fall out of favor.
1. Purpose of Inositol
The effects of myo-inositol affect many areas of the body and impact numerous biological functions. The kidneys produce between two and four grams of inositol each day. Other tissues also synthesize it, though the brain has the highest concentration of inositol. In the brain, inositol plays a vital role in making neurotransmitters and certain steroid hormones bind to their receptors. Inositol also acts as a secondary messenger in certain signal transduction pathways, meaning that it can trigger certain physiological changes. These changes affect insulin, calcium concentration, gene expression, fat breakdown, cytoskeleton assembly, and much more.

Kamal Haasan will need to get paid a large sum to work with Rajinikanth again
By candy -
Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth are argueably two of South India's biggest movie stars and fans long to see both of them share the screen. However, Kamal Haasan has said that bringing the two iconic figures together would be quite a costly affair. Kamal is preparing for the release of 'Visvaroop', which hit theaters on January 11, 2013 and has Haasan in a leading role.
'Apoorva Raangangal' was one film where both the stars were in the infant stages of their career. The flick proved to be Rajinikanth's debut film and a breakthrough of sorts for Kamal Haasan; ever since both actors have not really worked together much.
Haasan is of the opinion that if the two were to play a part in the same movie their fees would be too high to leave enough budget to actually go ahead with the filming. He said that it would take a lot of money to convince him to star alongside Rajinikanth, who is considered by many of his fans to be the re-incarnation of God himself.
For 'Visvaroop', Haasan has directed, acted and even written the script, which makes this one a big-budget thriller from the star. Other actors that play a part in the movie include Rahul Bose, Pooja Kumar, Jaideep Ahlawat and Andrea Jeremiah.

Malawi has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. From hospitals lacking essential supplies to tired and overworked nurses delivering babies with the light from their cellphones, this book examines some of the challenges of birth in Malawi. Through interviews with professors, nurses, and mothers, we'll hear about the struggles first-hand and be a part of the solution.
Proceeds from each book purchased will go towards needed supplies and equipping those on the front lines of the Malawian birth crisis.
Free Shipping
Alexandra Kulick learned about the problems facing women in Malawi after writing her first book, Re:Birth.
"Re:Birth is designed to encourage moms-to-be during their pregnancies. A few months after is came out, I started hearing stories of what women were facing in Malawi." She explained.
"I realized they needed more than just encouragement, they needed basic supplies in order to survive pregnancy and birth."
With the help of a wonderful team in Malawi, Alexandra wrote and compiled, "Birth in Blantyre" with the sole purpose of fundraising to provide needed supplies.
Esther's House Publishing is ordering latex gloves and additional supplies directly through pharmaceutical companies who are already working in Malawi to ensure timely and accurate delivery!

Q: Multiple pre-emptive thread pools in TBB We have a requirement to create a number of real time processing chains one running at n Hz and others running at x, y and z Hz in a single process. Where x, y and z are some multiple (not necessarily a simple multiple) of n. For example one chain running at 1Hz and others running at 3Hz and 4Hz. Each processing chain needs to make use of TBB to parallelize some of their computations etc. and so needs to have a pool of TBB worker threads that match the number of hardware processors, but the higher frequency chains need to pre-empt the lower frequency chains in order for the system to work. How can this be achieved using TBB?
It seems from the documentation that it is not possible to create competing pools of TBB workers that will pre-empt each other, since TBBs task groups etc. seem to share a single pool of real threads and there does not appear to be anyway to set the real system priority of a TBB worker thread, or am I missing something?

A: First, TBB is not designed for real-time systems. Though, the requirement of a few Hz looks relaxed quite enough.
Second, TBB is not designed to serve as a thread pool. It suggests a user-level non-preemptive task scheduler instead of preemptive threads scheduling on OS-level. TBB supposes that tasks are finite and small enough to provide points where the scheduler can switch between them more efficiently than OS can switch execution contexts of threads. Thus except for some special cases, it does not make a sense to request more worker threads then HW provides (i.e. to oversubscribe) and so thread-level priorities do not make sense either with TBB.
Though if you are not convinced by the arguments above and want to try your design, there is a way using two community-preview features: task_arena for work isolation and task_scheduler_observer extensions to assign system priorities for worker thread entering an arena.
TBB task priority feature looks like a more native approach for TBB to the described requirements. Though, it is limited to only 3 levels of priorities, the priority of a task_group_context can be changed dynamically which can be used to reorder tasks on the fly.

Apple inches towards its own video-on-demand streaming service with a multi-year content deal with few Hollywood biggies who will steer the tech giant's content library in the initial phase. Apple is aiming to counter SVOD spearheads Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos who are currently ruling the OTT industry.
Apple's much-touted VOD service will cater in the similar lines as of Apple Music which is available for free on Apple's TV app. A strategy pretty similar to Amazon, Apple plans to give away content at an affordable price to strengthen the foundation.
Reports also suggest that Apple could sell subscriptions for its service as a standalone product, similar to Netflix and initial pricing could be significantly less than that of the latter.


The Powers Firm - New Website Design | Orpheus, Inc.
The Powers Firm had a website redesign project under way with another firm that had dragged on for more than 4 years. They'd spent a significant sum of money, gone through multiple designs, and still the result was not what they needed it to be. Because it was originally built close to 4 years ago, the new design was not optimized for mobile devices.
Powers ultimately decided to bring Orpheus on to build a new, state-of-the-art website from the ashes of the previous project. The site was built in a responsive WordPress framework and optimized for devices of all sizes. In coordination with Powers' website committee, Orpheus created a more current design that retained some elements from the previous project and completely abandoned many others. The new site was built, tested and launched in under 3 months.
For this project, the Orpheus team developed a custom WordPress plugin called "Lawyer Data" that it now owns and licenses to law firms. The plugin creates custom post types for legal professionals, practice areas, and news items with the ability to create many-to-many relationships between the data types. This plugin provides a powerful foundation and data structure for building robust law firm websites on top of WordPress.

Researchers Have Discovered the Equation That Can Help Prevent Burnout
No matter your profession, here's how you can combat stress and stay passionate about what you do.

When you consider the emotional exhaustion, taxing hours, and stressful demands that make up a physician's work, it comes as no surprise that burnout in medicine is now regarded as a public health crisis.
"We live in an era of accelerating change, and of astonishingly rapid expansion of medical knowledge," writes Dr. Charles Lockwood, M.D., Dean of USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, in an op-ed published in Contemporary OBGyn. "While this relentless pace of change is generating extraordinary advances in health care, it also breeds burnout."
Lockwood says he often sees students and young doctors spiral into serious cases of burnout — but according to research, an alternative equation can help to combat its effects. He notes that researchers have found that the doctors who thrive in their careers, and avoid major episodes of burnout and stress, infuse a particular combination of qualities into their work: Novelty, purpose, and most importantly, grit.
"Grit can be defined as passion and perseverance to achieve long-term goals," Lockwood explains. "It requires certain building blocks, the first of which is curiosity to explore a variety of interests before settling on the one most compelling." These building blocks, which exist in any field, also serve as the premise for psychologist Angela Duckworth, Ph.D.'s research in her New York Times best seller, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. In her research, Duckworth explores the characteristics of hardworking individuals from middle school teachers to spelling bee finalists, and Lockwood says her takeaway is a vital part of success. "There is a compelling body of qualitative and quantitative data to support her thesis," he writes. "Grit might just be the key to maintaining the discipline of lifelong learning while avoiding burnout."
Duckworth's hypothesis boils down to the idea that long-term perseverance is what ultimately drives our success and happiness, even in changing fields like medicine. "For those in healthcare, like so many other industries, the twenty-first century is like no other," she tells Thrive. "It may be more difficult to maintain a sense of purpose and confidence… and mastery of ever-changing innovations and insights from medicinal science." In the face of these changes, Duckworth says that so much of our satisfaction at work stems from the intention we bring. "Passion and perseverance not only help you rise to challenges, but also work to make the entire system more supportive," she adds.
Lockwood also notes that a feeling of novelty is necessary in the effort to help beat burnout, coupled with a deeper sense of purpose in what you do. "Initial novelty is soon replaced by deep appreciation of the nuances of a given field or discipline," he notes. While many people — physicians and otherwise — begin their careers with excitement, he points out that the initial spark can fade, so genuine passion for what you do is required in order to continue feeling a sense of purpose, which can sustain you through more difficult periods. "Gritty exemplars exhibit more than interest and practice," Lockwood urges. "They have purpose."
So how can we use this information to combat burnout in our own lives? According to Lockwood, it starts at the beginning, as he finds the most successful doctors have wanted to pursue their paths from the start. "Think how hard you worked in your pre-med years," he writes. "You [first] discovered you might want to be a physician because you loved science and wanted to help your fellow man." Lockwood believes those who feel an innate sense of purpose from the get-go are the ones who stay impassioned throughout their careers. "It is that higher purpose that builds resilience in the face of adversity and exhaustion," he adds.
That's not to say that it's not still vital to manage your stress, work with your colleagues and managers to better integrate work and life, and try to avoid the kinds of punishing hours that come at the cost of sleep and your well-being. But choosing a career path that feeds your sense of purpose, and making a point of approaching your work life with grit can be major helpers as well.
Above all, Lockwood says true implementation of grit must start at the top — and infusing it into your organization will benefit everyone. "If we practice [grit] with our staff, trainees, and colleagues, we will not only create a culture of excellence, we can combat the insidious ingredients of burnout," he writes. "If we can practice in such an environment, we will thrive."

Q: 504 Gateway Time-out issue in Spring Boot Rest call for heavy record(more than 80K) I am getting 504 Gateway Time-out issue Spring Boot Rest call using HTTP GET call for heavy record(more than 80K), I am calling other service to get data using RestTemplate object resClient, code as below:
public ResponseEntity<String> getData(String endPointUrl, Map<String, Object> parameterMap, String smToken) throws Exception {
        HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.setAccept(Collections.singletonList(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
        headers.add("Cookie", smToken);
        //headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8);
        HttpEntity<Map<String, Object>> entity = new HttpEntity<Map<String, Object>>(parameterMap, headers);
        ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = null;
        try {
            SSLUtil.turnOffSslChecking();
            LOGGER.info("Start call to end point : " +endPointUrl+ " at :"+ (new Date().toString()) );
            //resClient.getMessageConverters()
            //.add(0, new StringHttpMessageConverter(Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
            responseEntity = resClient.exchange(endPointUrl, HttpMethod.POST, entity,String.class);
            LOGGER.info("End of call to end point : " +endPointUrl+ " at :"+ (new Date().toString()) );
            LOGGER.debug("Response from end point: " + responseEntity);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error("Exception while making a http call to " + endPointUrl,e);
            throw e;
        }

        return responseEntity;
    }

While debugging I am seeing Response from other service call It takes more than 4 minutes, but rather than waiting it by that time to get response it use to come out only after 3 minutes. How can we make it to wait for response coming from other service call?
I tried to resolve this issue with increasing timeout time to 5 minutes using attribute server.connection-timeout=300000 in application.properties, but I am getting empty response. I am not sure If this is right approach or not. Please help me on this issue.

A: 504 Gateway Time-out issue is generally thrown by proxy server that means server is closing connection.  If client close connection then you will get Connectiontimeout error.

A: Try this
@Bean
    public RestTemplate restTemplate(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder)
    {
        return restTemplateBuilder
           .setConnectTimeout(...)
           .setReadTimeout(...)
           .build();
    }

A: server.connection-timeout= #

Time that connectors wait for another HTTP request before closing the
  connection. When not set, the connector's container-specific default
  is used.

Use a value of -1 to indicate no (that is, an infinite) timeout. (might be bad fix)

OR Try to set it from Application
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        System.setProperty("server.port","8080"));
        System.setProperty("server.connection-timeout","300000");
        System.setProperty("server.tomcat.max-threads","yourValue"); //in-case if you want to chaneg number of thredas
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

The Adventures of Lewis and Clark
By: John Bakeless
Sale Price � $7.16
In 1803, when the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France (for a scant $15 million), it doubled the size of the young country. Stretching north from New Orleans to the Canadian border and westward from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, the area contained over 800,000 square miles. That same year, President Thomas Jefferson designated two young men — Meriweather Lewis and William Clark — as leaders of an expedition to explore this vast new acquisition, as well as other lands of the West. In the spring of 1804, the two men and an intrepid band of hunters, carpenters, gunsmiths, and blacksmiths, known as the "Corps of Discovery," embarked on a perilous journey that would truly give meaning to the term "Wild West."
In this exciting, action-packed young reader's edition, based on the author's acclaimed earlier study of the two great American explorers, historian John Bakeless chronicles the daily challenges these men faced — from encounters with indigenous people, snake-infested waterways, prairie fires, floods, heat, and thirst, to illness, famine, and frigid mountain passes.
The result is a saga of epic proportions, an amazing story of courage and determination sure to delight readers with its authenticity and vivid, dramatic style. It's a "thrilling account of one of the most magnificent expeditions in all history . . . absorbing and inspirational from start to finish." — New York Times Book Review.
