There's nothing more exciting than walking through your favorite store and finding a super cute piece of clothing that'll show off your legs for when the weather gets warmer. However, you quickly find the dressing room and put on the shorts, dress or skirt, only to realize it's not what you'd imagined. Instead of focusing on how well it fits, you only see dimpled thighs and force yourself to forget about the adorable bathing suit on the rack just outside.
Cellulite has long been and still is one of a woman's worst enemies when it comes to body image, despite progress on social media and in clothing campaigns. Many women still have misconceptions about the prevalence and treatment of cellulite. The next time you think about putting something back on the clothing rack, remember these five facts about a skin issue that shouldn't be an issue at all.
Whether you've realized it or not, cellulite rarely makes an appearance in the public spotlight. Magazines have long used editing software to smooth out blemishes, wrinkles, stretch marks and cellulite on their models and celebrities. Even though Ashley Graham embraced her "cellulite city" thighs and Lena Dunham thanked Glamour for not touching up her cellulite, many women still associate cellulite with weight gain. It's important to know that healthy women of all shapes and sizes can be affected by its presence.
Dr. Kenneth Mark, a skin cancer and cosmetic dermatology expert in New York, simply states that "anyone can have it." Roughly 80 to 90 percent of women deal with cellulite in some shape or form. Whether it's on your thighs, buttocks, stomach or arms, the very nature of women's skin makes it very likely to show up, especially as your skin loses its elasticity in the years coming. About 10 percent of men also have cellulite, so it's also not a female-only problem.
When you go to the doctor with a range of flu-like symptoms and find out you just have a bad cold, it's both irritating and disheartening to hear you can't have antibiotics. You can try every cold symptom medicine that claims to alleviate a runny nose, cough, headache and fever all at once, but chances are, you're not going to feel much better. The same goes for cellulite: there's no panacea that will magically make every dimple and divot disappear.
To get more technical, the fat layer we can blame for cellulite has bands of connective tissue that run perpendicular from top to bottom in women and are crisscrossed in men. Between these fibers are the fat cells. According to Katie, the key fact to remember is the perpendicular connective tissue doesn't give the fat cells enough room for movement when pressure is applied (unlike in crisscrossed tissue), causing visible dimples on the skin's surface.
Now that you know the science behind cellulite, you can worry less about why you have it and focus more embracing it or finding a way to better handle it.
You probably wouldn't be able to count the number of times you've heard that a healthy diet and consistent exercise is important. Besides reducing the chance of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, living a healthy lifestyle just makes you feel and look better. If you're like many college women and struggle with finding the time to head to the gym or resisting the urge to snack at night, you may have just accepted your cellulite (hopefully out of body positivity and not body shame). And while Dr. Mark says that proper diet and exercise "can't get rid of cellulite completely," going the extra mile to try Blogilates in your room or trade in cookies for fruit at midnight can pay off.
You don't need to be a professional bodybuilder or stick to an impossible diet to lessen the severity of your cellulite. Do what you feel is appropriate and push yourself a little more each day to make healthy choices.
When it comes to most skin problems, topical creams and ointments are usually the first lines of defense. Many are cheap and can be found over-the-counter at any drugstore. For more expensive prescription creams, you can visit your dermatologist for recommendations. While obtaining these creams isn't difficult, making them work long-term can prove to be a tough feat. Dr. Mark recommends "prescription strength retinoids or over-the-counter alpha hydroxy acids like AmLactin," but you must remember that these lotions can only camouflage dimples and bumps temporarily.
Sometimes the most convenient solution to a problem isn't a solution at all, but another challenge in your path to finding the best solution. Keep in mind that topical creams won't change the physical cellulite: they'll only change its appearance for a little while.
Even though cellulite can't be cured, there are a plethora of surgical and noninvasive procedures that visibly reduce the look of it. From skin fillers to lasers, the treatments shown to most effectively get rid of cellulite come with a hefty price tag because they're done by knowledgeable skincare professionals and experts. Dr. Mark describes one of the more invasive treatments as "[introducing] a needle to break up the fibrous anchoring bands and allowing the patient to form their own collagen," which is "similar to 'subcision' for atrophic scars." Another FDA-approved treatment called Cellulaze has been shown to reduce cellulite by 70 to 80 percent within a year, but the investment ranges from $5,000 to $7,000.
If you feel that a more permanent surgery done by a professional you trust is the best route, there's no harm in researching the options. Just know that you might end up draining your bank account without monetary preparation.
It's not unusual for our self-confidence to take a dip when we see photos of women with perfect bodies and flawless skin, even though we know Photoshop is most likely the culprit. Sometimes we look at our own bodies and wonder how in the world someone could find us physically beautiful. We don't often realize that the people who love us most don't see what we perceive to be flaws. Derek*, a junior at the University of Michigan, constantly assures his girlfriend that her cellulite isn't unattractive.
Every time you look in the mirror and see yourself as unattractive, know that's not how other people see you.
Cellulite is a struggle most women have faced or currently deal with, and as Katie puts it, they "develop an identity around it for themselves that's not actually true." It's high time we educate ourselves about the reality of cellulite and embrace the journey that comes with taking care of not just our skin, but our whole bodies, one day at a time.


American Idol- for better or for worse?
American Idol kicked out two more contestants on last night's show.
Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens.
For some, this was a huge mistake on America's behalf. For others, the decision was exactly right on target.
Personally, I agreed with them. Although Andrew's renditions of random songs was entertaining, it never quite hit the mark. Katie gave off an annoying impression, but she had a good voice.
So what was wrong with them? Nothing was wrong with each of them individually. But, in the competition against other talented contestants, somebody has to go. Somebody's going to win and each week, more finalists are going to be voted off. Yes, Andrew and Katie were good singers, but in the competition, there can only be one winner.

Q: SWIG: Use different names for same template (stl vector) we are using SWIG to create wrapper classes for C# and Python for an application interface.
The interface uses several typedefs for STL containers, some of them for the same specialization.
When running SWIG, in the generated C# file, wrapper functions always return an instance of the the first defined template that matches the argument list. The generated C++ wrapper module uses the correct typedefs, though.
The following snippet is a very simplified .i file that illustrates the problem:
%module swig

%include "std_vector.i"
%template(WrappedVectorOfInts) std::vector<int>;
%template(WrappedIntVector) std::vector<int>;
%template(WrappedAnotherIntVector) std::vector<int>;

typedef std::vector<int> IntVector;
typedef std::vector<int> AnotherIntVector;

std::vector<int> GetVectorOfInts();
IntVector GetIntVector();
AnotherIntVector GetAnotherIntVector();

This results in the follwing CSharp class:
public class swig {
  public static WrappedVectorOfInts GetVectorOfInts() {
    WrappedVectorOfInts ret = new WrappedVectorOfInts(swigPINVOKE.GetVectorOfInts(), true);
    return ret;
  }

  public static WrappedVectorOfInts GetIntVector() {
    WrappedVectorOfInts ret = new WrappedVectorOfInts(swigPINVOKE.GetIntVector(), true);
    return ret;
  }

  public static WrappedVectorOfInts GetAnotherIntVector() {
    WrappedVectorOfInts ret = new WrappedVectorOfInts(swigPINVOKE.GetAnotherIntVector(), true);
    return ret;
  }

}

The generated CXX file contains the correctly typed wrapper methods:
SWIGEXPORT void * SWIGSTDCALL CSharp_GetVectorOfInts() {
  void * jresult ;
  std::vector< int > result;

  result = GetVectorOfInts();
  jresult = new std::vector< int >((const std::vector< int > &)result);
  return jresult;
}

SWIGEXPORT void * SWIGSTDCALL CSharp_GetIntVector() {
  void * jresult ;
  IntVector result;

  result = GetIntVector();
  jresult = new IntVector((const IntVector &)result);
  return jresult;
}

SWIGEXPORT void * SWIGSTDCALL CSharp_GetAnotherIntVector() {
  void * jresult ;
  AnotherIntVector result;

  result = GetAnotherIntVector();
  jresult = new AnotherIntVector((const AnotherIntVector &)result);
  return jresult;
}

I've tried with %clear and %apply already, but I always seem to make a mistake, because I never get the desired effect.
Is there a way to force SWIG to use the correct typenames in the generated C# interface?
We are currently using SWIG-3.0.2 on Windows.
Thank you!

Old Donation: a Large Community
that feels like a small family
Our parish community comes from all over the country and the world. When we celebrate the Feast of the Pentecost, we read the gospel passage in as many languages as people know (mirroring the experience recorded in Acts 2). We often have 10-15 languages represented, a reflection of broad range of ethnic and national backgrounds from which we come. Our backgrounds include a full range of life and work experiences. We are blessed by artists and musicians in our midst, as well as military families, bankers, lawyers and every other vocation you can imagine.
Our staff and vestry, as well as lay spiritual leaders, practice the truth of Christ's command to welcome the stranger and love your neighbor. It is an easy group to enter. This is a healthy community where you can be yourself and use your own talents and gifts. Old Donation is the kind of church you can call your comfortable home, while still growing and being challenged to be more like Christ.
A family with some rich history!
Old Donation Church is the third Lynnhaven Parish Church, and is the oldest church in Virginia Beach. Records show that the parish's first church services were held in 1637 in the home of Adam Thoroughgood. The first church building was constructed on Mr. Thoroughgood's land in 1639 on the location later known as "Church Point." The vestry, or governing body of the church, was established in 1640.
By 1691 the church building had begun to deteriorate, and the land around the church was slowly being eroded by the Lynnhaven River. The vestry approved the building of a new church on two acres of land purchased from Ebenezer Taylor. The second Lynnhaven Parish Church was completed in 1692.
As the parish grew the second church was no longer able to meet the needs of the larger congregation. In 1733 the vestry ordered the building of a new church that could accommodate the parish's needs. The third church was accepted by the vestry on June 25, 1736.
Princess Anne's population center gradually shifted to Kempsville on the banks of the Elizabeth River, a far superior channel over the silting up Lynnhaven. By 1856 Emmanuel Church had drawn away the remainder of the Old Donation's Church congregants, and the Old Donation Vestry held their last meeting in March 1856.
After the Commonwealth of Virginia passed a law that churches and chapels formerly owned by the Church of England and not used within a calendar year reverted to the ownership of the Commonwealth, different folks from Emmanuel Episcopal Church made annual pilgrimages to the church to hold services. When in 1882, a fire had all but destroyed the church; Reverend Thurmer Hoggard IV (1819-1902) took over this responsibility.
In 1911 an organization was founded to raise funds to rebuild Old Donation. Through the enthusiastic and tireless efforts of the Rev. Richard Alfriend and Judge B. D. White, construction began in 1912. Restoration of the church was completed in 1916, and Old Donation was, once again, open for services. The church's bell tower was erected in 1923. Old Donation underwent major repairs in the 1960s to ensure the building's structural integrity. It was during this time that the slate floors were installed. These renovations were completed in 1966.
Old Donation is included on the National Register of Historic Places.
You are invited to read further about notable people of the church, their historic homes, and general history surrounding Lynnhaven Parish Church which was renamed Old Donation to memorialize Reverend Robert Dixon's (1716 – 1777) faithful stewardship of the church's orphan boys school for 28 years and his donation of his estate, Donation Farm, for continuation of the school.

The international community has long recognized that housing is a human right worthy of protection. For instance, both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights[74] and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights ("ICESCR")[75] recognize a right to housing.[76]
Other international treaties have also affirmed the right to housing including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Canada has ratified all of these treaties.
As a signatory to the ICESCR and other international human rights instruments, Canada has agreed to take appropriate steps towards the realization of the right to adequate housing. Housing is a subset of social and economic rights more broadly and must be understood in this light. While the Code does not protect the broad range of social and economic rights set out in international instruments, it affirms the right to equal treatment in housing without discrimination on the basis of Code grounds. The values reflected in international human rights laws are to be used as an aid to interpreting the rights in the Code. For a more detailed discussion of Canada's international obligations in relation to social and economic rights and housing, please refer to "International Commitments" under the "Social and Economic Condition" section of this Paper.

The number of dead in the storms which hit Brazil's Alagoas and Pernambuco states in the country's northeastern region has reached 46, local authorities informed on Thursday.
According to the Civil Defense services, 29 people died in the state of Alagoas and 17 others in Pernambuco. Over 180,000 were affected by the storms in the two states, and 154,000 had to leave their homes due to the floods. 53,000 of them had no place to go and were taken to public shelters.
A total of 59 municipalities in the two states were damaged by the storms or by the massive flood caused by the breakdown of the Bom Retiro Dam. Nine of them declared state of calamity and 30 declared state of emergency.
According to the authorities, 11,400 houses, 79 bridges and over 2,000 kilometers of highways were destroyed. At least 20,000 people are still stuck in isolated areas.
Earlier in the day, Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva visited the region and announced the release of 550 million reais (308 million U.S. dollars) to help rebuild the damaged towns. In additions, the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) will release one billion reais (561 million U.S. dollars) to rebuild smaller companies in the region.
The federal government also sent field hospitals and food kits to the local population. Rescue workers from several Brazilian states were sent to the region to help in the rescue efforts.

Q: IAR Embedded Workbench won't compile I use IAR embedded workbench for my interfacing class and I can't compile even a simple C code. It aborts with the error:
Internal Error: [CoreUtil/General]: Unexpected windows exception (0xe06d7363) at 752EC41F

A: I had the same error and re-installing the same version as an admin did the trick for me.

A: Ok I installed a newer version and it is working now. The previous version was v5.5. I installed v6.0 and it is working now. I still don't know what was wrong with the previous one.

Q: generating mean values to empty cells I am new to SPSS and I am trying to generate average values to empty cells (basically fill in missing info by the average answer the user has given) and I cannot get my example code to work (or understand the example well).
COMPUTE QOL_puutt = Nmiss(ass, bass, grass, gas).

This part I understand
Do repeat A  = ass1 ass2  ass3. If ((Missing (A)) & QOL_puutt <= 4) A
= RND(Mean (ass1, ass2, ass3)).  End repeat.

Here something goes wrong. I understood that ass1,ass2,ass3 would refer to cells (column ass row 3)??? Here are the error codes
Error # 4285 in column 15. Text: ass1 Incorrect variable name: either the name is more than 64 characters, or it is not defined by a previous command. Execution of this command stops.

Error # 4285 in column 15. Text: ass2 Incorrect variable name: either the name is more than 64 characters, or it is not defined by a previous command. Execution of this command stops.

Error # 4285 in column 15. Text: ass3 Incorrect variable name: either the name is more than 64 characters, or it is not defined by a previous command. Execution of this command stops

A: Its a little hard to tell what the code is due to the wrapping, but you can simplify it like this
do repeatA = ass1 ass2 ass3.
if missing(A) A = mean(ass, bass, grass, gas).
end repeat.
If all the values are missing, mean will return sysmis automatically.
If you want to require a certain number of nonmissing values, say, 2,
you could write the statement as
if missing(A) A = mean.2(ass, bass, grass, gas).
HTH,
Jon Peck

Inspiration for integration. Labour market policies for refugees in five Northern European countries
Joyce, Patrick
() (The Ratio Institute)
The refugee influx in 2015 marked the largest mass movement in Europe since WWII. More than half of the arrivals applied for asylum on the northernmost edge of the continent: Germany was the top destination by far but Sweden received more asylum seekers relative to its population. The Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark also took in significant numbers. The developments in 2015 caused several of these countries to reconsider their policies on migration and integration of refugees. This paper compares the policies in these five countries after 2015 focusing on what Sweden can learn from the others.

Global Non-Compliance website > Rothschild loses libel case, and reveals secret world of money and politics
Rothschild loses libel case, and reveals secret world of money and politics
Source: UK Independent
With his long limbs and delicate gait, Lord Mandelson could no doubt manage a quite convincing turn in Thunderbirds.
He'd find Jeff Tracy most convivial: a billionaire astronaut with his own Pacific island, and now, it seems, he even has his own camera-shy friend to pull the strings.
According to the High Court, Nathaniel Rothschild, scion of the banking dynasty and friend of seemingly everyone in the spheres of finance, business and politics, is indeed "puppet master" to the Baron of Hartlepool and Foy.
The banker and Bullingdon boy has lost his libel case against the Daily Mail, which he sued for "substantial damages" over its account of his and Mr Mandelson's extraordinary trip to Russia in January 2005.
Mr Rothschild claimed he was subjected to "sustained and unjustified" attacks in the May 2010 article, which portrayed him as a "puppet master", dangling his friend Lord Mandelson in front of the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to ease the passage of colossal business deals.
Messrs Rothschild and Mandelson's Russian trip would certainly have made entertaining viewing, but maybe not for Thunderbirds fans. Nobody needed rescuing, that's for certain.
It began on Mr Rothschild's private jet from the World Economic Forum in Davos to Moscow, where they met Mr Deripaska, the aluminium plant manager who became the richest oligarch of them all, and continued on Mr Deripaska's private jet to his chalet in Siberia, where "to beat jet lag" they were whipped with birch leaves before plunging themselves into icy water – a traditional Siberian banya.
Less salacious, but seemingly more sordid, was an earlier dinner at Cantinetta Antinori, a fashionable Tuscan restaurant in Moscow. Mr Deripaska, the Mail had claimed, was dining with executives from the US aluminium giant Alcoa, negotiating a £250m deal to buy two of Mr Deripaska's aluminium plants, at which a stumbling block was an EU import tariff on Russian aluminium. Enter Lord Mandelson, then a lowly Mister, but at the time the EU Trade Commissioner. The deal is done, costing several hundred British jobs, and the tariffs come down.
Mr Rothschild claimed the trip was "purely recreational", and Associated Newspapers had to admit during litigation that it couldn't be sure that Mr Mandelson had joined Mr Deripaska at dinner or whether aluminium tariffs were discussed, and in fact the deal had been struck before Mr Mandelson and Mr Rothschild arrived in Moscow. But for Mr Justice Tugenhadt, recreation it was not.
"So far as Lord Mandelson was concerned the benefit was the trip and the hospitality itself. So far as Mr Deripaska was concerned it was a relationship with the EU Trade Commissioner," he said in his ruling. The judge rejected the notion that Mr Rothschild and Mr Mandelson had flown out as friends, not business associates, and said Mr Rothschild's behaviour had in part been "inappropriate". "That conduct foreseeably brought Lord Mandelson's public office and personal integrity into disrepute," the judge said.
Mr Rothschild's "different and developing" accounts of the Siberia trip were confusing, he continued, adding that on this subject the banker had not been entirely candid.
Mr Rothschild said he was disappointed with the judgement and intended to appeal. "The truth is, as the Daily Mail has now accepted, that I had nothing whatsoever to do with this deal and that it had in any event been completed before Lord Mandelson and I even arrived in Moscow," he said in a statement. Disputing the judge's findings, he added: "Lord Mandelson's trip to Russia was entirely recreational – as the court has accepted – and Lord Mandelson had obtained clearance for the trip from his office before undertaking it."
Puppet masters, of course, do not like the limelight, but when one pulls quite as many strings as Mr Rothschild would appear to, things will inevitably go wrong. Indeed, it is not the first time this seemingly unlikely trio has conspired to make the headlines. When Mr Deripaska moored his yacht next to the Rothschild family villa in the summer of 2008, they, along with George Osborne, managed to tie themselves up in an even more spectacular imbroglio.
Either on the yacht or in the villa, Lord Mandelson might have said unkind things about Gordon Brown and Mr Rothschild is alleged to have suggested that Mr Deripaska might be interested in making a donation to the Tories. Via the two politicians it all ended up in the press – the last place their two hosts like seeing themselves.
That leading politicians, bankers and businessmen associate with each other in fashions that blur the boundaries between work and pleasure is a secret too great to be maintained with any success, but it doesn't make the details, on the rare occasions they actually emerge, any more palatable.
A spokesman for the Daily Mail said: "This case is a reminder, at a time when newspapers are under attack for invading privacy, that the rich and powerful regularly use the law to prevent legitimate scrutiny of their activities. Had the Mail lost this case, it could have incurred costs of more than one million pounds.
"Not many news organisations, however committed they are to free speech, can afford to risk a loss of that magnitude. As Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry considers the balance between privacy and freedom of expression, the chilling effect on free speech that court cases like this one exert needs to be borne in mind."

What can we say? Almost three hundred years old, this book, written by Cox was published in 1721 describing the history of the county and its people from earliest times, and has descriptions and history of each of the places in the county.
Superb scanned images of the original pages, which, although they are in the old type style of the period, are very readable, and most certainly fascinating. Superb early background information about the county for historians and genealogists. Unusually, the book still has its original map (1695) by Robert Morden, a collectors piece in its own right.
The book arrived here from a book dealer in a very sad state, and therefore we had it professionally rebound and re-covered in a traditional style of the period, in half leather, with raised bands on the spine, an inset maroon title bar with real gold leaf lettering, and lovely hand made mottled paper covered boards. Perfect in every respect.
This exceptionally rare book can now be seen by anyone.

The Story Of Film Preview (Kirk Haviland)
The Story of Film: An Odyssey
Written and Directed by Mark Cousins
Last year Mark Cousins in conjunction with the BBC brought us a 15 part epic series entitled The Story of Film: An Odyssey. Starting last weekend and continuing through to November The Hot Docs Bloor Cinema is presenting the entire series in 2 part chunks on Sunday nights with replays on Tues nights, only taking a break to present the Toronto After Dark Film Festival in late October. Starting from back at the turn of the 20th century, The Story of Film attempts to present the most complete version of the history of film production put forward. Not content to just focus on the Hollywood scene, Cousins spans the globes for the most influential films and filmmakers of their time and presents their stories in detail.
The first two episodes cover the start of film, from the 1890's through to the 1920's/30's, and show us the innovations from across the globe, many of which still apply today. We delve into the careers of Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin while also investigating the seminal films Birth of a Nation, The Passion of Joan of Arc and many more. Cousins has certainly done his homework as the film is chocked full of details that even the most hardened of film historians may not know. His depth of research is certainly astounding and furthermore the amount of footage he has access to is stunning. Some of these films have probably not been projected since they were first put in theaters.
Dry in parts because of the sheer amount of knowledge being displayed, The Story of Film: An Odyssey is a MUST SEE for any true cinema lovers. This is the most comprehensive dissection of film's history ever put together. Do yourself a favor and get out to the Hot Docs Bloor Cinema and catch as much of this as you can. For more details on show times consult the Hot Docs Bloor Cinema schedule.

There was excitement everywhere when Superdraft got this new home project. The clients wanted a family home with a warm, Mediterranean touch. It needs to show old and new-world charms too.
The first thing we did was the arched windows, doors, and entrances. It's the mark of a Mediterranean-styled house that we can't miss. Arched openings give space for transom windows, for better daylighting. That was perfect for the tiny home office in the corner of this living room.
We completed the country home vibe with a stone fireplace, trusses, and decors made of timber and metal. Our team used a 1970s leather couch in the centre of the room. Behind it is a sliding door that opens to a private deck. We didn't give it a roof to keep it open.
Because decks are exposed to the elements, it needs annual maintenance. Wash and reseal it during late spring. Don't let the moulds, dirt, and grunge accumulate or else the wood will rot.
Once the weather is warm and dry, inspect the structure for possible repairs. Pay attention to the areas that are close to the ground and water sources. Check the spot near pipes and under the planter boxes.
Always conduct preventive measures so you can anticipate repairs. That way, you will enjoy your deck longer and protect your investment.

HealthWhat to expect when you're not expecting series
What to expect when you're not expecting XVIII: The Sharps Container
by Lord Sutch November 20, 2017
When you've made a commitment to writing out your story, and then that story ends up being way longer than you anticipated, you go searching for metaphors to represent what you're going through because metaphors are one of the great pieces of human story telling.
We're smack bang in the middle of yet another IVF round (we're not even sure what number this is, 4? 5? I dunno). This one is our longest yet! It's involved Kim pre-dosing by injecting a drug called Lucrin. This forces a menopausal state upon her so that it resets her to zero. Of course it comes with the happy by-product of all the emotional ups and downs that I'm lead to believe Menopause comes with so it's been a really hard few weeks for Kim. After her last piece, I got a lot of messages from people saying things like "is Kim ok?" "That was a sad piece, is she doing alright?". I had to go back and read it because my first reaction wasn't that it was a particularly sad piece, and also because we weren't in a particularly sad place. But re-reading it, I could see how people would perceive that. And then since that piece was published we have become a bit glum, a lot of that is down to the emotional ups and downs as a by-product of the drug but then a lot of it is the burden of going through this process again except this time with considerably less hope than previous iterations. We've moved into what I call the "cynically pessimistic" mood in relation to this. We started this IVF process with such hope and belief that this would be the fix to our problem, but to date it obviously hasn't been. And we've sunken so much into it. Both financially and emotionally. You start to look at it all without hope after a while.
So a couple of weeks of Kim taking Lucrin we move on to the "stimming" as they call it, with Kim injecting the stimulatory drugs to try and grow the follicles. Now every night we've gone from one needle to two needles. We were given a sharps container to put everything in and it's full. It's completely full of needles, vials, alcohol swabs, syringes. There is so much. And Kim has to do it all. And it's so hard. And I haven't made it easy.
I had a work trip last week to Auckland right on night two of Kim taking the proper IVF medication and I promised I'd call her when it was time to inject. I didn't call. I didn't really have an excuse, I just lost track of the time and didn't notice when Kim had messaged me to tell me she was "mixing" up the drugs. I felt like the biggest asshole. Kim was at home alone doing this really hard thing and all I had to do was call her. And I didn't. And I don't want her to feel like she's doing this on her own but in that moment I think I did make her feel that. And the sense of teamwork is one of the most important things we've found when going through something like this. She needs to know that I'm here beside her every step of the way. Because as I've said so many times, this process is not a balanced equation and so I need to take as much off her shoulders as I can and I didn't do that.
So the metaphor is that sharps container. It's full of empty vessels. And right now we feel like we're full of empty hopes. Obviously we're really keen for this round to work but …. yeah. Life is happening around us, but it seems like we're stuck in stasis (side note, I once sat in a meeting with a German man and talked about being stuck in "stasis" but pronounced it "stasi" because I thought it was a French word and you don't pronounce the final letter. It went awkwardly silent and he just said "do you mean stay-sis?" and I just nodded and said very little else for the rest of the meeting). Kim just described it as "we're running on empty but life around us is running at full speed". That's a really good way of putting it.

I've appreciated reading your brutally honest account of what this has been like for you both. Thanks so much for being willing to be vulnerable and put it out there on the internets. I know it is cold comfort, but you're not alone in this. (I serendipitously came across your blog when I too was told I had uterine didelphys, now also going through IVF after 4 years of trying but with some extra complications added in). Without a doubt, infertility is the most difficult thing I have had to face, and it is like a black hole that keeps sucking the joy out of life with no end in sight. It can be so lonely. So thanks for writing and posting this stuff – keep doing the next thing. All your readers are standing with you.


You know I don't think I ever considered myself a Yes Gal till I read this post. it's been something I've indirectly been trying to confront over the past few months, and your thoughts helped provide a much needed kick in the pants to really settle down and think this whole 'yes' thing over.
I'm always surprised by how connected things are and it was my not-so-secret hope that when I cleaned out my closets that some of my emotional hangups would sort themselves out as well.. Beautiful blog, by the way!
I completely agree, what started as a project to clear out my wardrobe has set me on a path of clearing out the clutter from all aspects of my life. It's envigorating. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to your posts.

Partial Eclipse
vol. 1: Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry
Tony Sanders — author.
Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, 1993
Subject: Poetry
About Sanders's Partial Eclipse
"Sanders brings together his own sensibility (quizzical, approaching middle-age, slightly disaffected, bemused, learned but not stuffy) and an alertness to what can be appropriated from history, myth, the daily papers." —Choice
"…a distinguished first collection from a poet about whom we will be hearing more." —Houston Post
Commenting upon his selection, Mr. Howard writes:
"Sanders proceeds through his… poems with a pervasive steadiness of diction,… a syntactic resonance quite his own yet gratefully beholden to such exacting masters as Stevens and Ashbery. The freshness of the poems is a result of their immersion in life with others, achieving the resolute tonality of a man speaking not so much out or up but on, talking his way to the horizon."
Hypocrite City
I have been unkind to you,
the way the city is unkind to strangers.
I have opened the umbrella of lies,
only to disappear into the crowd.
I have skipped every bus this evening,
only to wait for the one that's empty.
Can't you see me sitting in the back,
my streetwise eye fixed on the dark.
My heart is a city of sirens and glass.
I'm neither uptown nor downtown,
I've been so busy with the curbs.
My city is a diary of streetlamps
programmed to turn off at dawn.
Can't you see me leaning on one,
holding up the furthest street.
Yes, there is a ghetto in my heart,
the neighborhood-over-my-shoulder.
I have been unkind to myself.
The Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry is an annual, national competition resulting in the publication of a winning manuscript each fall. Partial Eclipse by Tony Sanders, the winner of the 1993 competition, was selected by Richard Howard, Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry and winner of the American Book Award.
TONY SANDERS lives in New York City; he was educated at Yale University, University of Iowa, and University of Houston. His poems have appeared in Gettysburg Review, Grand Street, Harvard Review, Paris Review, Prairie Schooner, The New Republic and many other journals. Partial Eclipse is his first collection.

DARWINISM AND DHASAVATHARAM
Creationism vs Evolution has always been a topic of hot debate between religious views and modern scientists. Why? Because science claims that human beings evolved from monkeys but these religions preach that God "created" humans and sent them to the earth. It might come as a surprise to many people, but Indians actually explained Darwin's theory of Evolution much before Darwin! This is in accordance with many other scientific discoveries/inventions that Indians made thousands of years before modern scientists.
So how does Indians explain Darwin's theory of evolution? Let me backtrack a little, for the readers who are not familiar with mythology – God Vishnu (one of the trinity in Hinduism) is said to incarnate on Earth periodically and in various "forms" (Avatars). The "forms" might be some animal form or human or humanoid forms. Indians have discovered and documented the biological theory of evolution and these stories are just a form of easy documentation.
According the modern theory of evolution, Homo Sapiens started out as Fish in the water and went through many different stages before finally evolving into Homo Sapiens. Now let's get to the actual details. I'll explain each stage of the evolution first as described by modern science and then as described by Ancient Indian texts :
Stage 1 – Chordates (Fish)
Modern Science:
Proto-Amphibians that primarily lived in the water, this can be seen as the first stage of life. Examples are prehistoric fishes.
Hinduism:
The very first incarnation of Vishnu was Matsya avatar and Matsya literally means Fish. It clearly parallels with the scientific view.
Stage 2 – Tetrapodes (Reptiles with legs)
Fish finally evolved out of water became Reptiles (with legs to be accurate). The examples are tortoise, lizards etc.
Second avatar of Vishnu is Kurma. Kurma means Tortoise which is a reptile that walks on four legs. Again it's a direct parallel with the scientific view.
Kurma Avatar
Stage 3 – Mammals
Reptiles evolved into the semi-amphibian and then the animals that live in swamps and slush and that could bear children and lived only on the land.
Varaha (Boar) avatar represents land dwelling Mammals. You may ask – why Boar? Why not a deer or monkey or some other mammal? The reason is that Boar belongs the the "Suina" family whose maxillary or teeth are in front and therefore they do not have to swallow and regurgitate their food just like us humans! It's extremely enlightening to note that Hinduism had such a very insightful knowhow thousands of years ago!
Varaha Avatar
Stage 4 – Primates (to Hominidae)
Finally primates were evolving into Hominidae forms that looked more like humans, were partially bipedalled (walk on legs) but their brains were still not quite developed. They can be figuratively seen as having partly human lower body and animal like upper body.
Narasimha avatar is a more abstract representation of a Hominidae that is half human and half animal. The interesting thing to note here is that Narasimha has the upper body of a lion but lower body of a man. This is important because this directly relates to the idea of a pre-human without a well developed brain but with the partial ability to become bipedal (walk on legs). Also, Lion was used because it's primarily a carnivore just like the early Hominidae. Another interesting observation is that the Narasimha avatar is characterized by being in the "middle" of two things (being neither and midway) and that directly correlates to Hominidae that is about halfway though to being human! So, Narasimha is a perfect way to explain the pre-Homo Erectus form.
Narasimha Avatar
Stage 5 – Hominidae before Homo Erectus (more like humans but much shorter)
Finally Hominidae got closer to Homo Erectus was evolved. He was bipedal (walk on legs) more human looking but very short (dwarf).
Vamana avatar represents a being that is very close to humans but is extremely short. I guess, the parallel is obvious!
Vamana Avatar
Stage 6 – Homo Erectus (to Homo Sapiens)
Homo Erectus and then Homo Sapien was evolved that was about as tall as present day humans and could use tools. Homo Sapien is the present day human and biological evolution ends and at this stage the human might have a wavering mind, uncontrollable and act without reasons.
Hinduism: Parashurama avatar represents a man with an Axe. As you notice, unlike earlier Avatars, this is the first avatar of Vishnu that has no animal characteristics and wields an Axe. So basically, Parashuaram is what the current day human would be who could also use tools, in other words Homo Sapien. Again, the Avatar as described by Hinduism matches perfectly with the description of Homo Sapien!
Parasurama Avatar
Stage 7 – Homo Sapiens exterminate Homo Neanderthalensis
There were other "types" of humans evolving in parallel to Homo Sapiens, they are called Homo Neanderthalensis. So, another step in biosocial evolution is the extinction of Homo Neanderthalensis so that only Homo Sapiens (us) remained. These "other humans" had distinctly different bone structures and body types and it's not a far stretch of imagination to realize that these "other humans" can very well be the "demons" (asuras) mentioned in Hinduism.
At this stage the humans developed to be perfect and they started giving importance to penance than the pleasure and started respecting other humans. The survival of the fittest started here and this led to mutinies between mankind. This was the beginning.
According to mythology, suras (gods) and asuras (demons) had been warring since the start of time and it's the Lord Rama (7th avatar of Vishnu) that finally killed all the asuras so that human beings can live in peace. Again a direct parallel.
Rama Avatar
Stage 8 – Advanced in civilizations and culture and to todays world
Mankind never stopped since they learned to use tools and all the Neanderthalensis were eliminated. Civilizations were formed, wars were fought, kingdoms were born and finally the world is as we see it today. The chief characteristic here is the increasing complexity of life and society. The perfect human with cleverness and ability to think and win developed at this stage. The humans started loving music, dance, etc…
Krishna's incarnation represents the stage where the world was in Treta Yuga and therefore far more complex than the Satya Yuga. Recent excavations of Dwarka city confirm the well planned construction of cities, towns and streets. This was the starting of a well developed civilization.
Krishna Avatar
Stage 9 – Again to Peace
Tranquility, submission, patience and passion for peace developed within mankind.
The ninth avatar was considered to be the Buddha Avatar. However some people claim that Lord Buddha was not an Avatar, some people consider that Buddha is an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Lord Buddha preached Non violence and peace to this world.
Buddha Avatar
Stage 10: End of the World
Modern Sciences:
According to Big Bang theory and other Modern theories the universe is not stable. The life in world should end at one point and the creation starts from the beginning. This whole loop continues infinite times.
According to Hindu mythology Kalki avatar is yet to be taken and this occurs when the whole life on earth ends. The avatar destroys life on earth.

IMPRESSED !!!
Very logic. Hats off to your understanding. But have an query to support.
As said Matsya avathara "Proto-Amphibians that primarily lived in the water" Puranas describes humans born and lived in that period and in every Avatara period too… so how humans born that stage… is this not an logic.
Can you pls explain this my friend!!
JaganKumar
mysteriesexplored
Dear Jagankumar,
Just relate all these vedic literature and modern science. We do not have any exact dates on these things. Indian civilization dates back than what we imagine. We don't even know whether it happened or not. It all looks like a comic story but when we start researching we come to know it is a bundle of scientific facts. Even today modern scientists say statue of Lord Nataraja formed around 700 CE depicts the Big bang theory and formation of universe. Mahabharatha was edited again and again for centuries. so you will lead to a misconception when you start going likewise.
You may have come across a verse of Geethasara.. " Whatever taken is taken from here. Whatever you give is given here.. You did not create anything and therefore you can not destroy anything…" Just relate this with the Law of conservation which says "neither be created nor destroyed". When you continue to relate likewise and try to know how intelligent our ancient Indians were you will feel the truth. Go through other posts in this site you may find few of those…
Hope you are satisfied with this reply… Thanks for your response…
SuryanarayanaAravind
superb and beautiful. But Vishnu is really Avatar Pursha. In Vishwarup he is having 108 -801=Infinite Power.
This maybe a nice attempt , but it seems like you are very desperate to get a parallel between the two ,when the two topics are poles apart and mean completely different things.Guessing, some more research has to be done on both the topics.. Darwinism and Dashavataram before writing such an article.
However, articles like electricity in Ancient India by Agastye samhita seems legit.
The Sanskrit shlokas almost translate to what you've mentioned.acceptable.
But not this article.

Thanneermalai
My warm greetings to the author of this blog,
This is a wonderful correlation between Darwinism and Dhasavatharam. I have heard about this concept some time before, and its truly wonderful to finally have someone to describe the correlation between the two elements. What I would like to share here is about the ninth avatar, Buddha which as you mentioned "some people claim that Lord Buddha was not an Avatar, some people consider that Buddha is an avatar of Lord Vishnu". I always had this doubt and I had been going around asking about it, but no one could really give me an appropriate and relevant answer. However, after watching the 1976 Dasavatharam movie in Tamil recently, I believe, I have the answer which is what I would like to share with everyone.
In the movie, during the Krishna avatar, the great Sage Narada inquires Lord Krishna about the present avatar and Lord Krishna replies by mentioning that the present avatar is his 9th avatar (not the 8th as it is widely believed). Lord Krishna goes on further mentioning that the 8th avatar is Balarama, the elder brother of Lord Krishna (Balarama and Lakshman, brother of Lord Ram, both are the incarnations of king of the serpent deities, Adisesha) Thus, the question arises as to why Balarama, Lord Krishna's brother is awarded the glorious status of being one of the great avatars of Lord Vishnu. The explanation given by Lord Krishna is as follows, during Lord Vishnu's 8th avatar (Lord Ram), it was Lord Ram's nature to give something in return to anyone who touches His feet. For example, He gave His brother, Bharata the opportunity to rule the glorious kingdom of Ayodhya for 14 years, Lord Rama crowned Vibhishana as the king of Lanka, Lord Rama liberated Ahalya from her curse, Lord Rama killed Vali and reinstated Sugriva as the king of the monkeys and many more, all because these individuals touched His feet. However, Lord Ram gave nothing in return to his brother Lakshman who was devoted to and was at Lord Ram's feet almost throughout his entire life. Thus, Lord Vishnu decided to honor Adisesha by awarding Balarama (who is also Adisesha's incarnation), the status of being one of Lord Vishnu's almighty, glorious avatar. Balarama being Lord Krishna's elder brother, also gave an opportunity to Lord Krishna to touch Balarama's feet (would not be ethical to touch Balarama's feet if Balarama was Lord Krishna's younger brother).
What is your opinion and view on this? Would love to hear it..

We've seen this strategy unfold, in a coordinated fashion and using a variety of tactics, since 2010.
One tactic is the unleashing of federal and state bureaucracies on political opponents. The best example of this is the IRS targeting of conservative non-profits. To this day, Obama acolytes and Senate Democrats characterize that targeting as a mistake by a few minor IRS employees in Cincinnati who didn't understand the law. That is a lie.
Congress held several investigations of this targeting, and the truth is clear. In the months following the Citizens United ruling, President Obama delivered speech after speech on behalf of Democratic midterm candidates, repeating the same grave warning at each stop—thanks to Citizens United, he would say, shadowy and scary organizations are flooding into our elections. He suggested these organizations might be operating illegally and might be funded by foreign players. He noted that somebody should do something about it.
These speeches acted as a dog whistle to an IRS bureaucracy that was already primed to act. Former IRS official Lois Lerner was well aware of Democratic demands that the agency go after conservative Tea Party and non-profit groups. Senate Democrats and left-wing interest groups had been sending letters to the agency for months, demanding it go after the very groups it ultimately went after. And Ms. Lerner had her own biases—we know this from her recoverable emails—that put her politically and substantively in the anti-free speech camp. The result is that the IRS deliberately put some 400 conservative organizations, representing tens of thousands of Americans, on political ice for the 2010 and 2012 elections.
It is hard not to believe that this was designed to help Democrats in those elections. We know that senior members of the Treasury Department were aware of the targeting abuse in early 2012, and took steps to try to slow it. Yet those officials did not inform Congress this was happening, and chose not to divulge the abuse until well after that year's election.
Another intimidation tactic is for prosecutors to abuse their awesome powers in order to hound and frighten political opponents. The most terrifying example of this was the John Doe probe in Wisconsin. Democratic prosecutors in Milwaukee launched a bogus criminal campaign finance investigation into some 30 conservative groups that supported the public-sector union reforms championed by Governor Scott Walker. Wisconsin's John Doe law gave these prosecutors the right to conduct this investigation in secret and to subject their individual targets to gag orders. Prosecutors secretly looked through these individuals' financial records, bank accounts, and emails.
Prosecutors also conducted pre-dawn raids on some of their targets' homes. In one horrifying instance, the target of such a raid was on an out-of-town trip with his wife, and their teenage son was home alone. Law enforcement came into the house and sequestered the boy, refusing to allow him to call a lawyer or even his grandparents, who lived down the road. They hauled items out of the house, and as they left they told the boy that he too was subject to the gag order—that if he told anyone what had happened to him, he could go to jail.
We only learned of this because one brave target of the probe, Eric O'Keefe, told The Wall Street Journal what was going on. We broke that story, and it became national headline news. But it ultimately took a lawsuit and the Wisconsin Supreme Court to shut down the probe. In its ruling, the Court made clear its view that the probe's purpose had been intimidation. The prosecutors had been sending the message: if you dare to speak, we will turn your lives into a living hell and potentially put you in prison.
More recently we have seen this tactic in the joint action of 17 state attorneys general, who launched a probe into Exxon and some 100 different groups that have worked with Exxon over the years. The implicit prosecutorial threat: get on board with our climate change agenda or we might bring racketeering charges against you.
A third intimidation tactic is for activist groups to use blackmail against corporations and non-profits in order to silence them. One subject of such attacks was the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a group that works to promote free-market policies at the state level. As a non-profit, it is largely funded by corporate donations. Because it is so successful, it has long been despised by left-wing activist groups.
These groups focused their efforts on ALEC in 2012, in the wake of the tragic shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida. ALEC had played a tangential role in crafting the popular stand-your-ground laws that the Left attacked after the shooting. On that basis, left-wing activists branded ALEC a racist organization and threatened to run ad campaigns against its corporate donors, branding them as racists too—unless they stopped funding ALEC. In a coordinated action, Democratic U.S. Senator Dick Durbin sent letters to a thousand organizations across the country, demanding to know if they supported ALEC and suggesting they'd get hauled in front of Congress if they did. ALEC lost nearly half of its donors in the space of a few months.
We've also seen this tactic employed against private individuals. One such person was Idaho businessman Frank VanderSloot, who Barack Obama's reelection campaign singled out in 2012, following a VanderSloot donation to Mitt Romney. The campaign publicly branded him a disreputable person, painting a target on his back. Not long after that, VanderSloot was audited by the IRS and visited by other federal agencies.
Out in California, left-wing activists targeted donors to the state's Prop 8 ballot initiative, which supported traditional marriage. They combed through campaign finance records, and put the names and addresses of Prop 8's donors on a searchable map. Citizens on this list had their cars keyed, their windows broken, their small businesses flash-mobbed, and their voicemails and emails flooded with threats and insults. Some of them even lost their jobs—most notably Brendan Eich, the founder and CEO of Mozilla. In later depositions, many of these targets told lawyers that they wouldn't donate to future ballot initiatives. So the attacks were successful in silencing them.
Note the use of disclosure in these attacks. We have come to associate transparency and disclosure with good government. But unfortunately, our system of disclosure has been turned on its head. Disclosure was supposed to enable citizens to keep track of politicians; but if you followed Hillary Clinton's server scandal, you know that politicians have now become expert at hiding their business. Instead, disclosure is increasingly becoming a tool by which government and political thugs identify people and organizations who oppose them.
Sadly, our federal judiciary has refused to honor important precedents that protect anonymity in politics—most notably the famous 1958 case, NAACP v. Alabama. In that case, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled against the Alabama attorney general, who had demanded a list of the state's NAACP members. The civil rights group knew this was tantamount to making targets of its members in a state that was riven at the time with race-related violence. The Court held that some level of anonymity is sometimes required to protect the rights of free speech and free assembly. The Court expanded on this precedent until the Watergate scandal, when it too got caught up in the disclosure fad. Political privacy rights have been eroding ever since.

From Singin' in the Rain and Anything Goes to Hello, Dolly! and Mary Poppins, Olivier Award winner Stephen Mear has done more than any other British choreographer to usher classic musicals into the modern era.
But adept as he is at razzle-dazzling 'em, there's more to Mear, as recent excursions like City of Angels at Donmar Warehouse and Die Fledermaus for the Metropolitan Opera prove. His contribution to the lauded Gypsy revival, opening next week at the Savoy Theatre following a triumphant Chichester run, demonstrates the combination of emotional engagement and quick-witted entertainment that makes him such a formidable talent.

Junibacken är en fiktiv plats och hem för Astrid Lindgrens barnboksfigur Madicken.

En del av scenerna i filmerna om Madicken spelades in under sent 1970-tal på gården Järsta gård (som fick föreställa Junibacken) i byn Brogård cirka 20 kilometer norr om Uppsala.

Q: Is the a way to make ALLOWED_HOSTS accept new domains dynamically in Django? I want to let users connect their domains to my site.
For example, a user has bought example.com (the domain) and wants that when someone types example.com in the browser, what the browser shows is my app. I have everything configured and working except for the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting. If I add manually the domain to my ALLOWED_HOSTS it works. But, in production server, users will be creating this connections at anytime, I can't be adding this lines manually and restarting the server.
Is there a different way of achievings this without making
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*',]
If there is no other way, I'm not sure which is the safest way to check request.get_host() in a middleware. If someone could guide me, I'd be eternally thankfull.
I hope I explained myself good enough.

A: At the end the best way was allowing everything on django ALLOWED_HOSTS, and then configuring correctly the server in production, in my case Nginx and gunicorn to only allow what I want.


Schaffhausen-based watchmaker, H. Moser & Cie, is a company that is infamous for producing a watch that looks very similar to an Apple Watch, as well as for their CEO boldly writing an open letter to the President of the Swiss National Bank immediately following the rate policy change in January 2015, which negatively affected virtually all Swiss watch companies.
Moser, as they are often referred to as, is also well known for their minimalist perpetual calendar wristwatches, powered by in-house manufactured movements. In fact, their perpetual calendar won the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix "Complicated Watch" prize in 2006.
The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar is one of the core timepiece collections at H. Moser & Cie and comes in 10 different variations. The version shown features a 40.8 mm x 11.1 mm polished rose gold case, with a silver-plated Argenté sunburst dial.
The dial displays hours and minutes with rose gold leaf-shaped hands and applied rose gold baton indexes for all the hours except 3, 6 and 9 – and with double instead of single batons at 12. There is a retrograde power reserve indication at 9 o'clock, a small seconds display at 6 o'clock, and a date display at 3 o'clock. Additionally, there is a small, centrally mounted arrow-shaped hand that points to one of the 12 indexes, with each representing a month.
Also worth noting, is that the date wheel jumps instantaneously to the next day right at 12 o'clock (something the company calls a "flash calendar" function), as opposed to doing so slowly, which is how it works more commonly on mechanical watches. And while the day of the week is not indicated, on the movement side there is a leap year indicator, making this a true perpetual calendar watch.
The hand wound caliber HMC 341 mechanical movement measures 34 mm x 5.8 mm and features hacking seconds, a double pull crown mechanism, double barrel (good for 7 days of power reserve), Moser teeth for all wheels and pinions, an interchangeable Moser escapement, an original Straumann hairspring with Breguet overcoil, a pallet fork and escapement wheel made from gold.
The movement is visible through an exhibition caseback, offering an unobstructed view of the hand-finishing the includes Geneva stripes, chamfering and polishing on the bridges, including on the traversing balance wheel bridge. Also, perlage on the mainplate, polished screws, and no less than 4 gold screwed chatons.
Overall, this is a beautifully executed timepiece. From the sunburst dial to the immaculately finished movement, every detail exudes quality. And technically speaking, there is no other perpetual calendar watch that is this simple to use. Moreover, the case size is tastefully proportioned, in regards to both diameter and thickness.

Sparkle IM now supports OpenSim
by Maria Korolov · January 13, 2010
Sparkle IM — an iPhone app that allows users to send and receive instant messages from inside Second Life — now supports access from OpenSim grids.
"It's been awhile since the last update of Sparkle IM," the company announced today. "We apologize for the silence."
(Image courtesy Genkii.)
In addition to support for OpenSim grids, the new version of the app also supports message alerts, both with sound and vibrate, and will show the user's avatar on the grid, instead of showing a floating cloud as with the previous release.
"However, if you like being a cloud, you can disable this in the settings," the company said.
The product is useful for users who wish to keep up with their social networks — but also for in-world service providers and retailers who need to be able to stay in touch with their customers while on the road.
The other major app that offers mobile access to in-world instant messaging is Touch Life from Pocket Universe.
Touch Life does not currently support access to OpenSim grids.
"This will be enabled in the near future with an updated release of the software," the company said.
Sparkle IM is available from the Apple App Store for $4.99. Touch Life is $2.99.

Q: Replace text in div and not in other elements with jquery I have an issue, here is my html
<div id="slider" class="hidden">
 <input type="button">X</input>
</div>

and here is my Jquery:
var el = $('#slider').clone();
el.removeClass("hidden");
el.text("My humble text");
$("#otherdiv").append(el);

So the issue is that when i execut this jquery, everything is replaced also the button with X .. because it seemed to be as text.
My question is how to i add text only to the div, but i let the other elements with the texts be as they are ...?

A: use .append() instead of .html()
var el = $('#slider').clone();
el.removeClass("hidden");
el.append("My humble text");
$("#otherdiv").append(el);

Demo: Fiddle
Also

*

*The resulting html will contain multiple elements with the id slider, you will have to change the id of the cloned element

*<input type="button">X</input> should be <input type="button" value="X">


Which VMWare License is needed for B & R?
since VMware does not offer an Enterprise version in version 6 anymore, we are discussing which VMWare license model we need for a completly new infrastructure. We need both the backup and replication feature from Veeam B&R. We figured out that either the Standard license or the essentials plus bundle provide the necessery features except the "vAAI" feature which is completly unknown to me. Can anyone confirm that the Standard o Essentials Plus version is enough for Veeam B&R?
Re: Which VMWare License is needed for B & R?
Only Free ESXi is not supported because Veeam B&R leverages vSphere and vStorage APIs that are disabled by VMware in free ESXi.
Standard and Essentials should work with no issues.
Thanks for your quick reply. The 'vSphere Replication' feature is not needed? Because in the Essentials license model it is only in the 'Essentials Plus' version included.
You don`t need "vSphere Replication" feature to perform Veeam B&R replication.
I didn't know that, thanks a lot.
Veeam replication process is described here. VBR just requests vCenter Server or ESXi host to create a VM snapshot and to commit it in the end.
[MERGED] vSphere Licence Type ?
I am interested in Veeam Backup Essential solution for our small ESX environnement.
But I'd like to be sure if it requiere only a vSphere Essential licence or a vSphere Essential Plus licence ?
Because the second one is far off budget.
Any paid edition will be enough, including vSphere Essential.

                <form onSubmit={search_item} className="header__search">
                    <input placeholder="Input The Keywords" onChange = {event => setSearch(event.target.value)}/>
                    <SearchIcon className="header__searchIcon"/>
                </form>

A: You have to declare a state(eg. result) initialized with null/undefined. call search_item and set the search result to that state. then use conditional rendering to render the results if it's there.
Assuming that you have a searchResult state that is set to the results, after you created a renderer function which gives a result item and returns a rendered component, it's how you can do conditional rendering for it:

  <form ...>
    ...
  </form>
  {searchResult && (

       {searchResults.map(renderResultItem)}

  )}

As part of the worldwide action taking place on or around February 15 in opposition to U.S. attack against Iraq, 25,000 people took part in a rally held in Tokyo on February 14.
At the meeting which began with John Lennon's "Imagine," Japanese Communist Party Chair Shii Kazuo gave a speech to explain the current situation clearly. He said that if the whole world demands continued and strengthened U.N. weapons inspections, the problem will be solved. That is, if Iraq is confirmed to be not possessing weapons of mass destruction, the matter ends there. If such weapons are detected, the United Nations of its own decision can force Iraq to abolish the weapons, as it did in the past.
Referring to Japan's Prime Minister Koizumi Jun'ichiro's attitude on the Iraq question, Shii criticized the prime minister for doing nothing to prevent a war and instead virtually cheering U.S. war plans on Iraq, while many countries in the world are making efforts for peace. The prime minister has acted in a cowardly manner and defamed the Constitution's Article 9, Shii said.
Representatives of various circles, including trade unions, youth, and women organizations expressed their determination to oppose war on Iraq. Former U.S. Marine Alen Nelson spoke and stressed that war produces nothing but misery.
