Not Back to School week 2017!
Because it's a bit of a tradition, and I like being able to look back, here we go. Usual caveat that every week is different, etc.
This week is when many classes and groups kick off again – and thinking about how this upcoming term is going to be the most scheduled term we've ever had (half hoping it's great, half expecting it to break us so we all agree to go back to a more relaxed pace!), we thought we'd stay in.
Then we discovered Spider-Man: Homecoming was on in our local cinema, and it's cheap ticket Monday, so that was much of our morning.
M is obsessed with Spider-Man lately (again); S was less keen and brought a book along to read in the cinema, but alas, she forgot a torch.
Afterwards we came home and much Lego/Playmobil fun was had. Mondays from now on will involve S going to drop off educational provision in the woods, so it feels special to have time for the both of them to just play!
Late afternoon M had gymnastics class with a friend, while S played with hers. She then had her first non-recreational gymnastics class; she was on her own with girls much older than her, and it was much more intense than the recreational classes she is used to. She survived.
M suddenly asked for 'muscles training' in the evening so I found Tae-Bo videos on YouTube (#billyblanksforever!) and he did two full length videos aimed at adults. He did these two weight lifting videos every day this week.
First day back to a very busy pottery class after the summer break. Clay, glaze, inspiration.
Afterwards we all had a picnic/play in the park. Was nice to be back! We were there till around 1:30, when I had to take S to Spanish class. A friend offered to have M round her house – he and his friend had some quality Lego time.
S and I arrived ridiculously early at Spanish, so we went for a walk. Happened to stumble across an awesome music store – she played some broken chords on the various pianos until we discovered there was an entire room devoted to percussion instruments. She's thinking of giving up piano to have drum lessons, so it was great to get to try out some digital kits.
Spanish was Spanish – learning how to describe circus related stuff, this week. She really enjoyed it.
Then back off to pick up M – it was my birthday, and my gorgeous friend made me a cake (which she unfortunately dropped on the floor.) She left me and the kids alone while she ran to the store to get milk, and the four of us promptly fell on the cake pieces like wolves. Bare hands and all.
Normally we'd be at forest school on a Wednesday, but this week our lovely friends from London were down and staying in the local area.
We met them at Slimbridge Wildlife and Wetlands Centre – or whatever it's called. We spent a full day in the soft play, welly boot land, and somehow missed out on seeing the birds – except for the geese and swans near the entrance, who swarmed the children once they realised the kids had grain to feed them. One of my friend's kids may now have a permanent bird phobia. Whoops.
Driving to and from our meet up, we listened to Short and Curly. It's a podcast about ethics aimed at children – and it's totally awesome. Ethics is a fascinating area of study, full of critical thinking, morals, debate, challenging our own ideas. We all LOVE it.
Thanks to Groupon and the friend who spotted a deal on there, we headed off to the Mendips winter sports centre with five other families. The kids got an hour of tobaggoning on the dry slopes – which were much faster than I thought they'd be.
Everyone loved it; no one broke their skulls open.
Afterward, we went to the top of the 'alpine lodge' for lunch. Very unfortunately, M had an airborne allergic reaction to … something?
He responsibly asked for meds and took himself outside for fresh air. It was minor at that time, nothing out of the ordinary.
About ten minutes later, my friend looked out the window and saw him gasping for air/coughing.
Queue a very tense twenty minutes. No epipen was given – and luckily a nurse was on the trip with us.
M proceeded to give all his friends a lesson on how to administer an epipen.
We elected to head home rather than carry on to Chew Lake with friends – closer to hospitals if needed.
Thankfully he was fine. We cancelled our emergency GP appointment, and Suzy took both kids off to Woodcraft Folk for the first session of term. Luckily it was an outdoors session with plenty of fresh air!
That evening S and I spent a good chunk of time reading our own books in her room. Was very cozy.
Meanwhile M took proud ownership over a new Spider-Man costume, courtesy of Grandma! Lots of running around outside with it on.
Crack of dawn piano lessons were cancelled as their tutor was ill – God help me, I was so relieved and happy for a chilled morning!
Back to Capoeira late morning. I cannot recommend this more – miles better than our previous martial arts experience. Kids remembered their moves from before summer, which was great. Lots of fun and excellent music on a very rainy morning!
S wanted to have friends back to ours after class, but honestly I was too tired! We went home – kids played, we watched Night at the Museum, etc.
Just a chilled out way to end the week.
I found during this week that car rides, as ever, are where kids continue to request maths challenges. M's mental maths are off the chart – you know, if we used them!- and he particularly has been requesting more and more difficult problems. I'm still loving how we can cover a variety of topics within one thing – maths, ethics, language – and not even realise we are doing so until it's reflected on later.
All in all, a great week -next week even more things start back up. I have a feeling I may revert back to drinking caffeine!
Every year I make a list of 100 things I'd like to do that year. Big, small, silly, dead serious.
Every year for the last three years I've had 'go on a mini break adventure alone with the kids' and never managed to get around to doing it.
While this may not quite count as 'alone', it does to me as Suzy wasn't there and she's definitely the more adult/responsible one.
So that's a big tick off 2016's list. We had such a good time I think I can probably backdate my tick to 2014.
Never say no to an adventure!
About a week ago, a friend said, 'Hey, do you want to go to Spain with us?' A couple of days after that we were on a plane with her and her adorable kids.
Today's our last day here. After a few days of sun and heat, it's cooler and windy. Obviously we feel at home on cold beaches. Ha.
I was worried if I'd cope on my own with the kids. All the bedtimes, all the nighttimes, all the picky eating that new countries and food allergies bring. But you know what?
It's been a joy. A time out from normal life which has reminded me a bit more of what I'd like normal life to be like, what it once was before all the classes and clubs and meet ups.
A little bit slower, a little bit more joy and instinct led, a little more flexible.
Of course, excellent company helps. So does Spanish sunshine and water with lemons picked fresh off a tree.
Perhaps the biggest lesson (and reward) in these past few days comes from the reminder of how good it feels to say a resounding YES whenever you can.
Sometimes I forget how awesome it is to have mini adventures, just the three of us.
Today we went to a nautical/pagan storytelling, had a picnic by the water, and rode the boat taxi across the water and back again.
We wandered onto the platform of an abandoned railroad line. Some of us hopped along the track itself, feet jumping over bright wildflowers and sun warmed track.
We went up to Aardman Animations (the Wallace and Gromit people!) to have a nosy in their windows. They always have cool miniature figures and things in the windows, and huge statues and bits of movie set in the main reception. Today we spotted all the mini Gromits (and you probably don't know what this means. I must write a post on this!) and it was awesome.
We've looked in those windows a lot, but never noticed there was a boatyard right across from them. So of course we ran over to watch men working on two huge wooden ships.
Eventually we got in the car to head home, but decided to stop in a fab place (that probably also needs its own post!) we drive by every day. We had our second picnic of the day deep in the trees, then found a 'stage' along the river. I was the audience for various shows and songs, and then the nursemaid when stinging nettles struck (dock leaves grow right next to them and those 'helper medicine leaves' are well known and worshipped by both children!).
Now we are home. It's not even three pm. I wonder what the next few hours will bring….
Just say yes – and then watch what happens.
'Yes' is the most powerful message you can give to your children. Some things are direct requests.
Can we go see that horse?
Can we play Twister before bed?
Sometimes your child makes a decision to try something that is new, or seems interesting or worthwhile. You don't need to say anything, then. You just stand back and watch….and sometimes, you fetch whatever they need to help complete their scheme.
You can choose things based on what you find exciting or are curious about.
Sometimes it is a small yes. Sure, we can make cookies. We can pick up endless sticks and rocks while we walk. We can opt to skip going to gymnastics to stay home and all watch a movie together in my bed.
Often it's bigger – and means having to stand back while they assess risk, solve problems, or get incredibly messy.
We are lucky in that we have lots of time. Nothing is so pressing that we cannot explore things along the way. We have lots of space to just be, to choose what to do as we go along. So that makes things easier for us, but not impossible for people with busier schedules, or school, or …well, whatever, really.
So try it. When your child asks to do something, or just goes ahead and does it – and your natural inclination is to say no or hurry them along – just pause. Do you have five minutes to let them do this thing? Are they safe? Then say yes.
Have that wild dance party in the kitchen. Watch them collect fifty conkers and spend ages 'washing' them in a stream. Laugh to yourself as they wear costumes out of the house.
And this is the most important part: look at their face. Really pay attention to those moments when a child is learning about joy, about passion, about curiosity.
The first day of no school!
We like to explore, to see new places….or to delight in old places. This fountain is one we have seen dozens of times, one we have dipped our feet in at the lowest level. On this particular day, the kids began to wade out to the middle of the steps and climb.
My parents were visiting from America, and we were waiting for a boat to pull in and take us on a tour of the harbour. We'd already eaten outside at a pub, wandered around looking at Gromits (the subject of a future post, no doubt!), and danced along to street musicians.
And did I 'let' them explore this wet, wonderful fountain with slippery steps and the potential for cracked heads? I didn't let them do anything. They decided it was worth conquering, I thought it seemed like an awesome idea, and off they went.
At just turned four, my children are delighting in exploring the world, at making everything we do an adventure. The younger version of them might have asked me to come into that fountain, but this version? Off they ran, climbing to the very top and back down again.
Their contemporaries were putting on school uniforms for the first time and heading off to school, but these two were splashing and laughing, sunshine pouring down over them. I suppose all children this age are trying something new, stepping out into a wider world – the difference being, we aren't limited by four walls.
We can climb, we can trust in ourselves to create a day (and life) we like, we can explore anywhere we happen to be.


Here are a few easy healthy dinner recipes that make even better lunch leftovers that can be enjoyed just as much the next day.
In a dream world somewhere far, far away there are people who enjoy spending time cooking every meal. They meal plan, shop at the market, prep everything perfectly. They're able to execute chef quality meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as part of their daily routine.
That's not reality for most of us. Cooking is fun. But with other priorities on your plate, it's no surprise that cooking gets put on the back burner. Luckily there are easy, healthy dinner recipes that make even better lunch leftovers.
Easy to prepare and with many ways to cook it, chili is a favorite if you are looking for something warm and cozy. Whether it's traditional beef chili or white chicken chili, the piquant flavors of jalapeños and chili peppers tickle the taste buds and leave you wanting more.
As a lunch leftover, spoon your chili over a sweet potato, which can be baked ahead of time and frozen whole. Easy and delicious.
Regardless of the style of barbecue you enjoy, it's those deep and sweet flavors that make it an American favorite. Traditionally prepared outside on a grill, you can also use a slow cooker along with a handful of spices to make BBQ chicken.
As a lunch, toss the BBQ chicken atop shredded cabbage and matchstick carrots for a little crunch and a lot of flavor. For something handheld, wrap your BBQ chicken with sliced avocado in a leaf of bib or romaine lettuce.
Let's face it. Even on the most hectic days, a warm cup of soup comforts. This garden tomato soup delivers on all fronts — the slight acidity of tomatoes with a velvety cream finish make it soothing and delicious.
As a lunch leftover, serve tomato soup with a warm grilled cheese sourdough sandwich. Chances are, this classic combo will take you back to childhood.
There's something to be said about the luxury of cooking dinner in a slow cooker…that something so good can take so little effort. For example, if you happen to make Cuban slow cooked pork for dinner, you'll find tender shredded pork drenched in a wonderful mix of citrus notes and warm spices.
If you have leftovers, pair slow cooked pork with salad greens. Toss in some sliced apple and dried cranberries. Then drizzle with a balsamic vinegar dressing (made with leftover sauce) for a quick and light lunch.
As is often the case, the best dishes allow simple ingredients to speak for themselves. Like this classic pot roast with root vegetables. A few bay leaves, garlic, thyme leaves, and some bacon fat. Allow these flavors to meld for a few hours as the roast cooks, and you'll be happy you have leftovers.
For lunch, reheat shredded meat in a cast iron pan. Deglaze with leftover gravy. Sprinkle with fresh herbs you have on hand, like cilantro. Then bundle it all in plantain flatbread for a convenient wrap.
The aroma of curry has a fragrant complexity that is matched by few. Curry flavors pair well with coconut milk, making it creamy and mildly spicy. While there are many versions of curry dishes, this Indian beef curry combines garam masala, turmeric, and ginger — awesome on your taste buds and good for your health.
As a lunch leftover, keep it just the way it is. Box it up with some leftover cauliflower rice and you're good to go.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - March 25, 2019 - eTradeWire -- Safe Money and Income Radio host, Neil Henry, announces his new book: Safe Money. For years listeners have been able to learn from Neil about his no-nonsense approach to reducing risk and eliminating fees in retirement planning.
Now his new book, Safe Money examines those and other vital issues such as protecting retirement accounts from market risk and how to understand the danger of inflation in retirement.
Since 1988, Neil has helped folks in the Charleston region develop Safe Money strategies for their important money. Neil and his wife Nancy have lived in Folly Beach and enjoy all the treasures that living in the Lowcountry has to offer.
"I enjoy helping people from all walks of life protect and grow their retirement savings. Over the years, I've helped people protect millions of dollars in retirement savings, and none of my clients lost a penny during the last market downturn. My clients sleep well knowing their retirement dreams are protected. Many of the people I work with also utilize plans that will provide them guaranteed lifetime incomes, designed to last the life of one or both spouses. And knowing that they have a plan that's protected against losses and will provide an income, they can't outlive is extremely important in these volatile times."
Our philosophy is simple - "We're Planning on You Living to Be 100. Are You?"
Neil's book examines how to make sure your money lasts as long as you do.

ach@ach-ZenBook-UX434IQ-UM433IQ:~$ sudo dmesg | grep iwl

A: According to Linux Wireless Wiki, Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 support was added to the standard Linux kernel in kernel version 5.1.
Since you have kernel version 5.15, you should already have the support in place.
However, most Intel WiFi chips need firmware, which is not stored persistently in the chip itself and must be loaded to the chip in every boot. The kernel will do this automatically if the firmware file is available to it. If you are missing a firmware file, there should be a message about it in dmesg output after boot: run sudo dmesg | grep firmware to see it.
The firmware files for all but the very newest Intel WiFi chips is included in the package linux-firmware on Ubuntu: run e.g. sudo apt install linux-firmware to ensure you have it installed.
If you have a WiFi chip version that needs newer firmware than is packaged by your distribution, you could download it yourself from the linux-firmware git repository. The repository's directory structure is similar to the [/usr]/lib/firmware/ directory tree on your system: just find the missing firmware file based on the pathname listed in the error message in dmesg, download it using the link named "plain", and copy it to the appropriate location on your system.
If you have to install firmware manually, it's a good idea to rebuild your initramfs afterwards, so the new firmware will be available in the earliest phases of the boot process: on Debian and related distributions like Ubuntu, sudo update-initramfs -u should do it.

A: Instal proprietars driver or build from sources. See it is on a github, for example. I was do it on a debian. He have a proprietars driverin your repo (search prefix firmware)

Q: libraries in python and upnp I want to develop some protocols that helps in the functioning of UPNP(universal plug and play) and simple service discovery protocol. I need to find the libraries for python and upnp so that I can read them and it becomes easy for me to understand when i used them. Please provide me the links for it.

A: MiniUPnP is a popular UPnP library with Python hooks. For Python libraries, look in the Python distribution. Mine are in /usr/lib/python2.6 and /usr/lib/python3.1. There are libraries galore to read there.


Did you know that many black superheroes are from Detroit, Michigan? If you're like me, then you're always on the look out for minority superheroes, which is why a strange connection caught my attention.
Motovo's real estate blog posted an article called, "30 Things You Need to Know About Detroit Before You Move There" and writer Ian Douglass highlights an interesting connection between black comic book heroes and the "Motor City."
"With 82 percent of its population self reporting as black or African American during the last census, Detroit has the blackest population in the country by percentage for any city with more than 100,000 residents," Douglass wrote. "Maybe that's the reason Detroit is one of DC Comics' favorite cities for telling black superhero origin stories, like those of Amazing-Man, Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Firestorm (Jason Rusch). And those who aren't born here end up living here anyway; the television series of Marvel Comics' famous vampire hunter, Blade, was set in the Motor City."
In the 1940s, Amazing Man (Will Everett) was DC comics' very first Black superhero and he's from Detroit. DC Comics has other superheroes from Detroit. For example, Cyborg (Victor Stone) is from Detroit and so is Steel (John Henry Irons). The first Justice League spin-off organization is based in Detroit and has several prominent black members including Vixen (Mari Jiwe McCabe) and Dale Gunn. Marvel uses Detroit too since, for example, Firebrand (Gary Gilbert) is from Detroit. Milestone Comics, the first African-American comic book line, was set in Dakota City which was based on the city of Detroit.
So what gives? Why are so many black superheroes from Detroit? I've never been to Detroit, but I can think of a few reasons. There's the 60s R&B and soul movement known as "Motown" which dominated American culture. Plus, between 1910 and 1980, a large number of African Americans from the Southern United States migrated to Detroit and increased the black population over 100 times. This, combined with the so-called "white flight," left the African American population dominating the city.
It seems weird though. Why is one city singled out as the home of so many African-American superheroes?
Is this surprising to you? Why do you think so many black superheroes are from Detroit, Michigan?
That is surprising to me. Honestly, its sounds like laziness on the part of the creators to me. Maybe each person thinks they are doing something unique and all that but never bothers to check to see anyone else has done the same thing.
I figured part of it is Geoff Johns, one of DC's top writers, hails from Michigan. But yeah they could at least use Flint or Saginaw or somewhere more obscure. Though really we could use a few superheroes here in Detroit.
Very interesting I never looked at it before.
Seems like an odd location.
If Geordi La Forge was here he'd be able to tell us, crikey I'm stumped.
I've been to Detroit, and I thought it was pretty culturally diverse. There are some VERY ugly parts of Detroit, but being from St. Louis, it's pretty much on par with East St. Louis. Maybe the next black superhero should be from Connecticut.

Q: Assembler Malloc dies on me I am trying to allocate two chunks of memory and write to one of them (NASM, Linux 86_64 on Arch that I updated today, glibc):
        global  main
        extern  malloc

section .text
main:
        mov rdi, 5
        call malloc
        mov qword [array], rax
        mov qword [rax+24], 5 ; mov qword [rax+8], 5 or mov qword [rax+10000] doesn't die on me
        mov rdi, 5
        call malloc

section .bss
        array resq    1

When i do:
nasm -felf64 test.s; gcc test.o; ./a.out

I get:
test.out: malloc.c:2395: sysmalloc: Assertion `(old_top == initial_top (av) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse (old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.
Keskeytetty (luotiin core-tiedosto)

(The last line translates to English roughly as Interrupted (created a core-file), ie. core dumped)
Googling and searching SO tells me that I am probably writing into something malloc set up for its own internal use. Practical tests seem to corroborate this (the error only happens if I indeed try to write.).
However I couldn't find what I am supposed to do to prevent this. Could someone with more insight tell me what I should do?
Thank you in advance.

A: Ok, as stated by Michael Petch, malloc seems to take its size as bytes. So this would work:
        global  main
        extern  malloc

section .text
main:
        mov rdi, 40 ; 5*8
        call malloc
        mov qword [array], rax
        mov qword [rax+24], 5 ; mov qword [rax+8], 5 or mov qword [rax+10000] doesn't die on me
        mov rdi, 5
        call malloc

section .bss
        array resq    1

Constant Contact Vs Mailchimp Pricing
Constant Contact has a few drawbacks. It lacks automation features like branching points or splits. It also doesn't offer personalized emails, like some email providers do. Workflows begin with a trigger, such as an email or a website visit. Then, depending on your requirements, you can customize the order of emails and add delays between them. Constant Contact offers integrations with third party applications like Vimeo. This integration allows you to create automated email workflows for events and sell digital products. You can also respond to abandoned shopping carts.
Constant Contact also allows you to create signup forms for every visitor to your website. It is easy to create signup forms using its intuitive interface. You can copy it and paste it into your website. Constant Contact's signup forms can be tailored to the interests of your website visitors. Then, you're ready to launch your email campaign! Once you have established your list, it's time to start sending targeted emails.
Constant Contact's ability to segment its contacts by tags is another great feature. You can send targeted email to people who match certain tags or interests in your business. Constant Contact offers detailed reporting as well. The best thing? It's free to use. You can sign up for a free 60-day trial to see it in action. Just make sure you check the free trial period and read about all the features and pricing.
Constant Contact's email marketing tools are affordable and easy to use. Even newbie email marketers can understand the platform's interface. The software promises high deliverability, which means less chances of emails getting caught in spam filters. It also offers niche-specific features such as Eventbrite and Google Analytics integrations. Constant Contact can also be used to integrate social media accounts such as Facebook. You can also create Facebook ads and integrate campaigns.
Another great feature of Constant Contact is its email editor. It lets you send automated emails to new subscribers. You can also track email performance. You can segment your contacts to send them special messages and offers. The Constant Contact email editor allows you to segment contacts. If you have a Shopify-based store, Constant Contact can help you amplify your efforts. Constant Contact syncs your products and contacts automatically, allowing for targeted emails and offers to customers. You can recover lost sales and customers with Constant Contact.

Hivelocity Expands Global Edge Compute Service to Frankfurt
June 19, 2019 by Press Release
Hivelocity, a leading provider of IaaS, announced today the availability of its bare-metal edge compute services in Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt is the first in a line of several new European and APAC locations Hivelocity will be introducing over the coming months as it continues to expand the reach of its edge compute platform.
Frankfurt joins Dallas, New York City, Los Angeles, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta and Seattle in the list of markets Hivelocity offers its suite of infrastructure services. Hivelocity's platform lets users instantly deploy hundreds of Linux and Windows dedicated servers in any of these 8 global markets. Once bare-metal is deployed users can view server health and resource usage data, establish data recovery points, perform OS reloads, interact with technical support and much more. Each server has the option of being self-managed or managed with the latter including things like proactive security patches and monitoring. Hivelocity's expansion plans include adding edge compute to new markets like London, Paris, Amsterdam, Singapore, Sydney and Sao Paulo over the next three months.
"With customers hailing from over 130 countries, Hivelocity has long served a global market. As our customers' businesses have grown and matured, so have their needs to optimize and scale the performance of their applications all over the world. By enabling our customers to deploy their compute and storage resources wherever in the world their end users are best served, we are providing them with a much better opportunity to maximize the end user experience and their own bottom line," says Hivelocity CTO Ben Linton.
With more and more businesses recognizing the benefits of having their compute nodes at the edge there has been a recent surge in upstart edge providers. Hivelocity believes its 17 years of IaaS experience and its obsessive focus on customer support gives it a leg up on competitors. "Our mantra has always been to be the best service provider our customers have ever worked with. We maintain a Net Promoter Score of 74+ which is a testament to the level of satisfaction our customers feel, and frankly heads and shoulders above our competitors. If a business needs to deploy 1000 servers or just 10 servers around the globe, you can guarantee they are going to need some help and technical support along the way. Most of our competitors are new to the arena and all of their capital is invested in developers and hardware. We spend a lot of money on developers and hardware too, but we also employ nearly 100 technicians and engineers who work inside our data centers 24/7, providing the most exceptional technical support in the industry. Our support solutions involve experts with years of experience working with you in real time, their solution is to have you fix it yourself or reload the OS," says Hivelocity COO Steve Eschweiler.
Hivelocity was founded in 2002 and serves roughly 6000 businesses out of its 12 North American data centers. For more information please visit https://www.hivelocity.net/.
