Q: Exporting a patch from HgWorkbench / Mercurial does not include files that were added in that commit When trying to export a patch for a commit, the resulting patch file doesn't include empty files that were added in the commit.
Steps to reproduce:

*

*Create a new folder and initialize it as an Hg repository.

*Add some zero-byte file to that folder, and create an initial commit for that file.

*Create a second zero-byte file, and create a second commit for that file.

*In Hg Workbench, right-click on either of those commits, and choose Export >> Export Patch.

*Open the resultant patch file in Notepad / any text viewer.

*Observe that the patch file does not contain any information about the new files that were added.

It seems like the newly added files should be included.  If I exported that patch and someone else applied it, they wouldn't really be getting the full changeset, since the new files aren't included.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or why it behaves this way?  This is not the behavior I expected.
I'm using TortoiseHg 2.7.1, which includes Mercurial 2.5.2.

Creating engaging content is every marketer's goal. Creating engaging content that doesn't convert, however, is a big waste of time and valuable assets.
The big reason content falls short on conversions? It fails to reach an audience.
Facebook live video is one of the newest tools for social media marketers.
It is designed to help marketers publish engaging content that caters to, and connects with, more interactive, thoughtful audiences.
Part of the audience's favorability for Facebook Live Streaming is the chance to interact with their favorite brands in a raw, unfiltered, unscripted setting. Audiences are responding to this authenticity with regular, genuine engagement, which marketers are converting.
With Facebook Live Video Cross-Posting the ability to connect with consumers in real-time is even greater.Facebook live is about living in the moment.
When an audience is a part of the conversation in real time they are more emotionally invested in the subject matter. This personal connection to messaging is highly effective. It levels the playing field and in a way humanizes brand messaging by delivering it casually.
These casual business-consumer interactions open consumers up to a whole new spectrum of messaging.
The setting is the most powerful function here.
These conversations happen in a medium that is significantly more relaxed than threads where ads are strategically inserted. This tends to lower the consumers' apprehensions — their doubt regarding the corporate persona — which positions them to engage in real-time, click to a landing page, purchase online, or subscribe to an emailing list.
Facebook Live Video Cross-Posting allows marketers to publish a single broadcast on multiple Facebook pages.
This drastically reduces time spent coordinating content.
Consider a business with multiple brand extensions. There is the primary identity — the main chunk of what the business produces. This is the industry persona.
Then there is the non-profit brand extension. This motivates the primary identity because the success of the primary directly affects the effectiveness of this extension. This is the philanthropic persona.
There is the culturally centered spin-off of the primary brand. This could be a community forum, a physical place (like a bar or rental space), or a series of regular programming/events. This is the cultural persona.
Finally, there is the merchandising shop. This is a physical space within the business and also an online shop. This is the consumer-centric persona — a way for your audience to attach their identity to your brand via merchandise.
Each brand extension shares certain audiences. Each brand is also comprised of specific subsets of loyal followers that are not as involved in one extension as they may be with another.
One audience subgroup may visit the cultural persona for updates on local events more than they would the philanthropic persona, which has stronger messaging. Furthermore, each audience member may not even follow Facebook pages for each brand extension.
This is where Facebook Live Video Cross-Posting makes a big impact [consolidating brand messaging and audience subgroups].
Let's say the non-profit brand identity is promoting their first annual fundraising event.
This is a local event hosted by the non-profit, which is associated with, and established by, the primary brand. The cultural brand persona is an information resource for the community, so the "local event" application suites this brand's guidelines as well. Take this even further and incorporate the merchandising persona into the live broadcast, because of it's physical presence and connection to the fundraising application.
The messaging is consistent for all brand extensions. They share elements of branding, tone of voice and intent, which allows marketers to broadcast one message on every page. A single live video now has the potential of reaching four target demographics.
Marketers are in essence introducing and connecting their audience subgroups with one another by connecting multiple brand extensions with one segment of messaging. This ultimately strengthens the overall company culture.
Marketers (in this example) quantify their reach exponentially because Facebook live videos typically experience 3x more engagement than regular video content.
Do the math: 3x engagement across four brand extensions… That's more comments, more shares, more likes, more conversions than any single video could provide.
Another useful application of Facebook Live Video Cross-Posting is connecting brands from different industries.
This is an awesome way for marketers to strengthen a brand's industry authority. Not only does this attract a new audience, but it attracts an audience that is already loyal to a brand that shares similar values.
Say an architecture firm worked in conjunction with a landscape architecture firm on a large-scale design project. Their industries overlap but don't conflict. Their messaging follows similar guidelines, as do their core values. By collaborating on a live video broadcast they can consolidate loyal viewers and establish greater authority in their industries without compromising each others status.
Effective sharing through Facebook Live Video Cross-Posting is easier said than done, however. If you plan to add this tool to your marketing kit then it is still going to require strategy.
Live content is good if, and only if, it is seen by consumers, so your broadcasting schedule should adhere to your targeted demographic's schedule. The exception: steaming an event or something you cannot change the time.
Promote before your broadcast — on all platforms you plan on airing the live video.
Make formatting decisions before filming: I.e., horizontal or vertical (We recommend horizontal videos since they are easier to view on mobile devices).
Offer context regularly — if people start watching in the middle you want to make sure to reference who you are and what you're doing or discussing so new viewers aren't lost.
Always be responsive — you have live comments and reactions — use them.
Be likable — do not sell. Engage.
Give yourself a shoutout and thank people for watching.
Analyze your results — Facebook has several metrics that you can measure with live videos.


PRAY NOT WITH ARROGANCE BUT WITH HUMILITY!
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE TO PRAY.
THE PHARISEE "PRAYS" BY DISPLAYING HIS MERITS AND SCORNING OTHERS. HE PRAYS TO HIMSELF AS IF LOOKING AT A MIRROR, INSTEAD OF LOOKING TO GOD!
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO ASK OURSELVESHOW MUCHWE PRAY; WE MUST ALSO ASK OURSELVES HOW WE PRAY, OR BETTER, HOW OUR HEART IS: IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXTIRPATE ARROGANCE AND HYPOCRISY.
THE TAX COLLECTOR'S (OR PUBLICAN'S) HUMBLE AND REPENTANT PRAYER.
ARROGANCE COMPROMISES EVERY GOOD ACTION, EMPTIES PRAYER, DISTANCES ONE FROM GOD AND FROM OTHERS.
HUMILITY BRINGS ONE CLOSER TO GOD AND OTHERS. GOD HAS A WEAKNESS: A WEAKNESS FOR THE HUMBLE. BEFORE A HUMBLE HEART, GOD OPENS HIS HEART TOTALLY.
Happy reading and meditation and a Blessed Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Fr. Rolly A. www.catholicsstrivingforholiness.com, and Catholics strving for Holiness FB page.
Last Wednesday we heard the parable of the judge and the widow, on the need to pray with perseverance. Today, with another parable, Jesus wishes to teach us the right attitude with which to pray and to invoke the Father's mercy; how one must pray, the right attitude to pray. It is the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican (cf. Luke 18:9-14).
Both the protagonists go to the Temple to pray, but they act in very different ways, obtaining opposite results. The PHARISEE "stood" (v. 11) to pray, and used many words. HIS PRAYER WAS ONE OF THANKSGIVING ADDRESSED TO GOD, BUT IN REALITY IT WAS A DISPLAY OF HIS MERITS, with a sense of superiority vis-a-vis "other men," described as "extortioners, unjust, adulterers," as, for example — and he points to the other who was there – "this tax collector" (v. 11). But the problem is precisely here: THE PHARISEE PRAYS TO GOD, BUT IN TRUTH HE LOOKS AT HIMSELF. HE PRAYS TO HIMSELF! INSTEAD OF HAVING THE LORD BEFORE HIS EYES, HE HAS A MIRROR. Although being in the Temple, HE DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO BE PROSTRATE BEFORE GOD'S MAJESTY; HE IS STANDING, HE FEELS SURE OF HIMSELF, as if he were the owner of the Temple! He lists the good works he has done: he is irreproachable, observant of the Law beyond what is due, he fasts "twice a week" and pays "tithes" of all that he gets. In sum, more than praying, the Pharisee is pleased with his observance of the precepts. Yet his attitude and his words are far from the way of acting and of speaking of God, who loves all men and does not scorn sinners. On the contrary, that Pharisee scorns sinners, also when he points out the other who is there. IN SUM, THE PHARISEE, WHO CONSIDERS HIMSELF JUST, NEGLECTS THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT: LOVE OF GOD AND OF ONE'S NEIGHBOR.
Therefore, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO ASK OURSELVES HOW MUCH WE PRAY; WE MUST ALSO ASK OURSELVES HOW WE PRAY, OR BETTER, HOW OUR HEART IS: IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXAMINE IT TO EVALUATE OUR THOUGHTS, OUR FEELINGS, AND TO EXTIRPATE ARROGANCE AND HYPOCRISY. But, I ask: can one pray with arrogance? No. Can one pray with hypocrisy? No. We must only pray by putting ourselves before God as we are, not like the Pharisee who prayed with arrogance and hypocrisy. We are all prey of a frenetic daily rhythm, often at the mercy of sensations, bewildered, confused. It is necessary to learn to rediscover the way to our heart, to recover the value of intimacy and silence, because it is there that God meets us and speaks to us. Only beginning from there can we in turn encounter others and speak with them. The Pharisee went to the Temple, he is sure of himself, but he does not realize that he has lost the way of his heart.
The other, instead, the tax collector presents himself in the Temple with a humble and repentant spirit: "Standing far off, he would not even lift up his eyes to Heaven, but beat his breast"(v. 13). His prayer was very brief, it was not so long as that of the Pharisee: "God, be merciful to me a sinner!" — nothing more, a beautiful prayer! In fact, THE TAX COLLECTORS, CALLED PRECISELY "PUBLICANS," WERE CONSIDERED IMPURE PERSONS, SUBJECT TO FOREIGN DOMINATORS, THEY WERE NOT REGARDED WELL BY THE PEOPLE AND IN GENERAL WERE ASSOCIATED WITH "SINNERS." The parable teaches that ONE IS JUST OR A SINNER NOT BECAUSE OF ONE'S SOCIAL BELONGING, BUT BY THE WAY OF RELATING TO GOD AND BY THE WAY OF RELATING TO ONE'S BROTHERS. The Publican's gestures of penance and his few and simple words attest to his awareness of his miserable condition. HIS PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL. HE ACTS HUMBLY, CERTAIN ONLY OF BEING A SINNER IN NEED OF MERCY. IF THE PHARISEE DID NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE HE ALREADY HAD EVERYTHING, THE PUBLICAN COULD ONLY BEG FOR GOD'S MERCY. AND THIS IS BEAUTIFUL: TO BEG FOR GOD'S MERCY! Presenting himself with "empty hands," with a naked heart and acknowledging himself a sinner, the Publican shows all of us the necessary condition to receive the Lord's forgiveness. In the end, he who in fact was so scorned becomes an icon of the true believer.
ARROGANCE COMPROMISES EVERY GOOD ACTION, EMPTIES PRAYER, DISTANCES ONE FROM GOD AND FROM OTHERS. HUMILITY BRINGS ONE CLOSER TO GOD AND OTHERS. GOD HAS A WEAKNESS: A WEAKNESS FOR THE HUMBLE. BEFORE A HUMBLE HEART, GOD OPENS HIS HEART TOTALLY.
I give a cordial welcome to the Italian-speaking faithful. In particular, I greet the faithful of the dioceses of Mondovi and of Casale Monferrato, with the Bishop, Monsignor Alceste Catella; the parish groups, the Associations and the schools: I invite you all to persevere in your respective commitments with humility, spreading around you Christian mercy and consolation, especially to those that live in need. I greet the participants in the Course promoted by the Congregation for Saints' Causes: dear brothers and sisters, I exhort you to work, so that the causes of Beatification and Canonization re-launch in dioceses and Religious Institutes the enthusiasm of the faith and a re-flowering commitment for the mission and your own sanctification.
FRIDAY IS THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS, ENRICHED THIS YEAR BY THE JUBILEE OF PRIESTS. I INVITE ALL TO PRAY THE WHOLE OF THE MONTH OF JUNE TO THE HEART OF JESUS AND TO SUPPORT YOUR PRIESTS WITH CLOSENESS AND AFFECTION, SO THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS AN IMAGE OF THAT HEART FULL OF MERCIFUL LOVE.
A special thought goes to young people, the sick and newlyweds. DEAR YOUNG PEOPLE, DRAW FROM JESUS' HEART THE NOURISHMENT OF YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE AND THE SOURCE OF YOUR HOPE; DEAR SICK, OFFER YOUR SUFFERING TO THE LORD, THAT HE MAY CONTINUE TO SPREAD HIS LOVE IN MEN'S HEARTS; AND YOU, DEAR NEWLYWEDS, APPROACH THE EUCHARIST OFTEN SO THAT, NOURISHED BY CHRIST, YOU ARE CHRISTIAN FAMILIES TOUCHED BY THE LOVE OF THE DIVINE HEART.
Dear Brothers and Sisters: In our continuing catechesis for this Holy Year of Mercy, we now turn to the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Lk 18:9-14). JESUS CONTRASTS THE ARROGANCE AND SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE PHARISEE'S PRAYER WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR'S HUMBLE RECOGNITION OF HIS SINFULNESS AND NEED FOR THE LORD'S MERCY. TRUE PRAYER IS BORN OF A HEART WHICH REPENTS OF ITS FAULTS AND FAILINGS, YET PLEADS FOR THE GRACE TO LIVE THE GREAT COMMANDMENT OF LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOUR. Indeed, the proud disdain of the Pharisee for the sinner at his side prevents him from being righteous in God's sight. TO PRAY WELL, THEN, WE NEED TO LOOK INTO OUR OWN HEARTS AND THERE, IN HUMBLE SILENCE, LET THE LORD SPEAK TO US. THE HONESTY AND HUMILITY WHICH GOD ASKS OF US IS THE NECESSARY CONDITION FOR OUR RECEIVING HIS MERCY. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the model of such prayer. In her Magnificat, she tells us that God looks with favour on the humility of his servants, and hears their plea. May she, our Mother, help us to pray as we ought.


A long layover in an unfamiliar airport is a real drag. The great news is Tampa Airport was voted one of the best in North America in 2017, thanks to its easy design, friendly staff, and solid dining scene. To make the most of your time, here are 8 things to do on a layover at Tampa Airport.
Hunger and good layovers are basically opposites, so start your layover with a meal. About 40 eateries here serve up a range of dining options, and a lot of them are locally owned. Restaurants and kiosks offer Italian, Spanish, Greek, seafood, and classic American burgers. Cigar City Brewing is the airport outpost of a popular local brewery, and The Cafe by Mise en Place is perfect for a leisurely sit-down option. Note that most eateries close by 9:00 PM or so.
A long layover is the perfect opportunity to try out an airport lounge. If you are an economy class traveller flying on American or United (or if you belong to a lounge membership program), you can purchase a day pass to use their lounges. For a single price, take advantage of unlimited food and drinks, WiFi, comfortable seating, and news and TV, all in a quiet setting perfect for work or relaxation. See our Tampa Airport Guide for locations and details.
The shopping here isn't anything too exciting, but it certainly covers all your airport needs. A few convenience shops and bookstores offer last-minute amenities, plus snacks and souvenirs. A couple Duty Free areas are available. For the T-shirt lover in your life, visit Ron Jon Surf Shop and Hard Rock Cafe.
The airport has been showcasing local and national artists for more than 40 years. The Airport Gallery is located pre-Security, in the hallway that connects the terminal and the Airport Marriott Hotel. If you want to stay inside Security, keep your eyes peeled for the dozens of paintings, photos, and sculptures on display across all terminals.
In the airport, the Terminal Getaway Spa offers spa treatments, manicures and pedicures, and more. Rick's Massage in the Marriott Hotel offers a whole range of full and express massage options.
Stay in the airport for hours or get outdoors for sun, surf, and fresh air? Easy decision! Luckily, the airport is located just a few miles west of downtown Tampa, so if you've got at least 6 hours before your next flight, sightseeing in the city is a great option. Taxis are your most efficient option: a flat fare of $25 will have you downtown in about 20 minutes. The more affordable HART public bus route 30 saves money, but will take longer.
Once in town, check out the Tampa Riverwalk, or get some history at the Henry B. Plant Museum. Head to Ybor City, where you'll stroll past historic bungalows, coffee shops, and former cigar factories in the historically Cuban neighborhood. Take a break from the hot Florida sun with a visit to the Tampa Bay History Center or the nearby Florida Aquarium. If your layover is longer, buy a ticket to Busch Gardens, a combination theme park and botanic gardens.
Whatever exploring you do, leave plenty of time to make it back to the airport for that next flight!
Free WiFi makes it easy to pass your layover online.
Catching up on a sleep is a completely acceptable way to pass your layover. Expect a decent amount of seating, though most are equipped with armrests. The carpeted floor is a better option for spreading out, and the third floor has some hidden nooks and corners that offer some privacy and peace. Hotel more your style? There's a Marriott located inside the main terminal, and a few more hotels within a quick drive of the airport. See our Tampa Airport Guide for details and locations.
These are just a few things to do on a layover at Tampa Airport. Visit our Tampa Airport Guide for more information about more services and facilities available, such as food, WiFi, mobile charging, luggage storage, nearby airport hotels, and much more.

Ghosts have been spotted here and one you may see is George Hewell, who, in life, was a violent inmate known for attacking guards and other inmates. In 1897, a guard struck back in self-defence, and, as Hewell lay dying, he swore he'd have his revenge. Since then, Hewell has been seen many times.

After arriving in Kingston and getting a chance to freshen up, our evening dinner will be at The Public House.
This building, built in the early 1800's, was used by Sir John A. Macdonald as his law office from 1849 to 1860. Macdonald began his political career here and of course later became Canada's first Prime Minister.
And of course, the building is believed to be haunted!
Victoria Hall, Cobourg
Victoria Hall was opened in 1860 by the Prince of Wales. Our guided tour will review the building's history and will feature three rooms.
The Courtroom which was patterned after the Old Bailey Courtroom in England. Here the participants will be introduced to the "legendary " courtroom ghost".

Finally you will visit the the Concert Hall which has been restored to its 1860 glory. You may meet the Green Lady who is a friendly and fun loving ghost. Who is she?

Suicide attack kills at least 70 in Pakistan
By By Abdul Sattar And Munir Ahmed for The Associated Press
QUETTA, Pakistan — Pakistani militants struck at the heart of the country's legal profession on Monday, killing a prominent attorney and then bombing the hospital where dozens of other lawyers had gathered to mourn. The twin attacks killed at least 70 people, most of them lawyers, authorities said.
A breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks in Quetta, the capital of restive Baluchistan province, which also wounded dozens of others.
In a statement, Ahsanullah Ahsan, spokesman for the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar militant group, said its fighters killed Bilal Kasi, the president of the Baluchistan Bar Association, then as dozens of lawyers gathered at the government-run Civil Hospital, a suicide bomber targeted the mourners.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar has been behind several attacks in Pakistan in recent years, including a deadly March bombing on Easter Sunday in a park in the eastern city of Lahore that killed at least 70 people.
Witnesses described horrifying scenes of bodies scattered on the ground and the wounded screaming out for help.
A senior police official said Kasi was shot and killed by gunmen as he was on his way to his office. Kasi was among the most outspoken lawyers in Baluchistan province and was popular for campaigning for improvements in the legal community.
"It was a suicide attack," said the police official, Zahoor Ahmed Afridi. He said remains of the attacker had been found and authorities were trying to identify them.
Ninety-two people were wounded in the explosion, according to Civil Hospital director Abdul Rehman. Two journalists working for Pakistani news channels were among those killed in the attack, according to Shahzada Zulfiqar, the president of the Quetta Press Club.
Ali Zafar, the head of the country's main lawyers' association, condemned the blast as "an attack on justice." He said lawyers would observe three days of mourning and would not appear in court in solidarity with their colleagues and others killed in the attack.
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau condemned the targeting of "a hospital, as well as the judiciary and the media, two of the most important pillars of every democracy," and vowed to work with Pakistan to combat the threat of terrorism.
Survivors described scenes of panic as the blast ripped through the emergency room.
Waliur Rehman said he was taking his ailing father to the emergency ward when the explosion shook the building, knocking them both to the ground. "There were bodies everywhere," he said.
Another witness, lawyer Abdul Latif, said he had just arrived at the hospital to express his grief over Kasi's killing, and was horrified to "see the bodies of dozens of other lawyers" lying in pools of blood on the floor.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif strongly condemned the blast and expressed his "deep grief and anguish over the loss of precious human lives."
"No one will be allowed to disturb the peace in the province that has been restored thanks to the countless sacrifices by the security forces, police and the people of Baluchistan," he said in a statement. Sharif urged local authorities to maintain utmost vigilance and beef up security in Quetta.
Later Monday, the prime minister travelled to Quetta to meet the wounded and assess the situation. At a high-level meeting of security officials Sharif ordered stern action against terrorists.
"Terrorists are using innovating measures by hitting soft targets and one must respond in an advanced co-ordinated way," he said in a statement.
Earlier, Pakistan's powerful army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif also visited the hospital, and met with the wounded. According to a military statement, the army chief ordered intelligence agencies to track down and apprehend all those linked to Monday's attack.
Quetta and the rest of Baluchistan province, which borders Afghanistan and Iran, have long been plagued by insurgency. Several ethnic Baluch separatist groups operate in the resource-rich province, as well as al-Qaida, the Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups.
Lawyers have been targeted in the past by militants in various parts of Pakistan. They are considered an important part of civil society and emerged as powerful actors in 2007, when then-President Pervez Musharraf fired the chief justice, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry. Lawyers launched nationwide protests to pressure Musharraf to reinstate Chaudhry. Later, political parties joined the campaign and Musharraf was ultimately forced to resign in 2008 and Chaudhry was reinstated.

AYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH BOSTON-BASED SIMPLISAFE TO DONATE 250 SECURITY SYSTEMS TO SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES
MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH BOSTON-BASED SIMPLISAFE TO DONATE 250 SECURITY SYSTEMS TO SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES
Donation provides security to some of Boston's most vulnerable business owners with support from the Mayor's Office of Economic Development
BOSTON - Thursday, October 29, 2020 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced SimpliSafe®, maker of award-winning home security systems, in collaboration with the Mayor's Office of Economic Development, is donating 250 security systems and 12 months of free professional monitoring to Boston's small business community in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The donation, which includes hardware curated for business owners' unique needs -- such as the SimpliCam HD security camera, entry sensors, and other popular components -- as well as one year of the company's most robust monitoring plan, is valued at more than $800 per business.
"Boston's small businesses are the lifeblood of our neighborhoods, and have faced incredible challenges as they serve their communities during this time," said Mayor Walsh. "The City of Boston is thrilled to partner with SimpliSafe to bring security systems to businesses who need assistance, and I thank them for their leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing support for Boston's small businesses."
Small businesses across sectors are grappling with the challenges COVID-19 has presented, and those owned by women and people of color are experiencing a heightened number of challenges. The partnership with the City of Boston will ensure that protection gets into the hands of businesses in need throughout the city, with a specific focus on neighborhoods that have been disproportionately affected by the Coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic challenges.
"We know that small businesses are struggling to keep their doors open and stay afloat during this time, and that is especially true of businesses in Boston," said Christian Cerda, Chief Executive Officer at SimpliSafe. "With our headquarters in Downtown Crossing, we feel compelled to help fellow Boston-based businesses in our neighborhood and beyond. While we can't alleviate all of the difficulties they're facing, we can ensure that one of their most basic needs are met -- their security. The City of Boston is an instrumental partner in distributing these systems. They have personal relationships in neighborhoods throughout the city and together, we're able to give strapped business owners one less thing to worry about."
The City of Boston Office of Economic Development's Small Business Unit is assisting in distributing the SimpliSafe Boston Small Business Package directly to businesses who have expressed a need. To facilitate the donation, the Office of Economic Development has been equipped with 250 redemption codes that recipients can use to claim these systems online at simplisafe.com/boston-smallbiz.

The Thematic Relevance of Aristophanes' Parabases
In both The Wasps and The Birds of Aristophanes, the choruses are eponymous: the characters appear in the form of the title animals. This is not true, of course, of all Aristophanic comedies, but it necessitates consideration as to the purpose of the choruses in these two plays. Above all, the importance of the composition of the chorus surfaces in the parabasis, toward the middle of each play, when the figures step out of the action and address the audience. This address is delivered in the degrading and abusive manner typical of Old Comedy, but it also serves to elaborate the position of the chorus on events occurring within the dramatic sequence.
In The Birds, the true significance of the chorus of birds is far more plot-dependent than it is in The Wasps. Peisthetaerus arrives in Birdland with his companions: who else should be there to receive him but a gathering of birds? There are, however, several other reasons for the choice of birds as choral figures. As the chorus points out in the parabasis, as they provide the exhaustive description of the antiquity and majesty of their race, the birds seem to lead a comfortable and desirable lifestyle. Indeed, they even invite human beings to come and join their society:
Leader: How would you like to come and live with the birds? Do come and join us, we can promise you a very happy life. You know, lots of things that are looked down on where you come from, or even forbidden by your laws, are regarded by us as perfectly right and proper. (p. 179)
This call for immigrants becomes of course an issue later in the play, when a number of humans appear and request to join the city of Much Cuckoo in the Clouds; not only the rebellious son, whose discontent is directly mentioned in the parabasis as "the most natural thing in the world" (p. 179), but also several other figures, such as the poet and the informer, come seeking a society purely in order to gain something for themselves.
There are several seemingly irrelevant portions of the parabasis in The Birds which, upon closer inspection, appear in fact to have a strong bearing on the action in the rest of the play. The above-mentioned appeal for new citizens is the most obvious case; the lengthy discourse on the might and superiority of the birds, which makes up the first half of the parabasis, is another. This section, although interesting, has relatively few humorous or comic elements, and as such stands out from most of the rest of the play. Instead, the subject is treated with great seriousness:
In the beginning there existed only Chaos, Night, Black Erebus and Dreary Tartarus: there was no Earth, no Air, No Sky. It was in the boundless womb of Erebus that the first egg was laid by black-winged Night; and from this egg, in due season, sprang Eros the deeply-desired, Eros the bright, the golden-winged. And it was he, mingling in Tartarus with murky Chaos, who begot our race and hatched us out and led us up to the light. (p. 178-179)
Although this description is certainly a form of parody, it is nonetheless delivered in a rather dry and earnest format; this leads the audience to conclude that it was intended as a serious explanation, at least within the context of the play. If so, it comes to be of relevance in other places in the play: as an explanation of why the birds should be regarded as gods, it gives credence to the ending of the play, in which the birds do indeed become, through the marriage of Peisthetaerus with Sovereignty, the supreme rulers of mortal beings.
Perhaps the passage which bears the most directly on later issues brought up within the drama is the discussion, within the parabasis, of the laws and customs of the birds' society; here we see not only the laws regarding the treatment of parents, which will later come into play with the rebellious youth, but also a general presentation of judicial procedure. This provides a point of reference with which to compare the Athenian system that Peisthetaerus and Euelpides are trying to escape. As it turns out, the birds' society, which these men regard as ideal, bears in reality many of the same characteristics as the Athenian one they despise: there are strict laws determining social and moral behavior, and there are even litigators and political biases, as illustrated by the roasting of some anti-Democratic conservatives by Peisthetaerus.
In both plays appear, as is to be expected, the cynical and sarcastic references to the Greek theater of the day, and even to other specific plays, often written by rivals of Aristophanes. This is most noticeable in The Wasps, but it also appears in The Birds: when extolling the praises of their own race in the parabasis, the chorus of birds describes the usefulness of a pair of wings as regards the theater in explicit detail, complete with jabs at the "tragic choruses" which must be endured by those who wish to see the concluding comedy:
Have you ever thought of how useful a pair of wings would be in the theatre? No need to sit through all those tragic choruses, getting hungrier and hungrier: just fly home whenever you feel like it, have a good lunch, and get back to your seat in time for our comedy ... Oh, wings are splendid things, make no mistake. (p. 180)
The parabasis in The Wasps seems, in many ways, to have more of a direct relevance to the rest of the play. Firstly, the portrayal of the chorus of older men as wasps is purely a theatrical device, and does not rely on the plot as does the chorus of The Birds. The question of why Aristophanes chose these particular animals to be portrayed in the chorus is answered, as we have seen, within the parabasis of The Birds in a somewhat disguised fashion; in The Wasps, on the other hand, this answer is explicitly stated. It seems clear that some sort of explanation is needed by this point in the play, as the chorus leader states:
Leader: Should it strike you, dear spectators, as a somewhat curious thing
To find me thus embellished with a wasp-waist and a sting,
A word will be sufficient to complete your education
And elucidate the meaning of our garb and conformation. (p. 78)
After a rather lengthy digression about the glorious younger days of the "wasps," when they were warriors and men to be feared, the answer to the question is finally stated:
Leader: Now anyone who studies us from various points of view
Will find that we resemble wasps in everything we do ...
Observe our social structure and you'll see that it conforms
To that of wasps exactly - we are organized in swarms;
And according to the jury that we're privileged to be on
We buzz about the Archon's Court, or nest in the Odeon. (p. 79)
Of course, any audience would have understood by this time that the Wasps are supposed to be older Athenian citizens now serving as jurymen, but it is not until the parabasis that all the details of their similarities are drawn together and explicated. Here we learn, for instance, of the tenacity and ferocity of the jurymen: "No creature, to begin with, is more savage and irate, when once provoked, than we are, or less easy to placate." (p. 79) The wasps also manage, on several occasions, to clearly state their own opinions about the state of current affairs, and how things could be better organized: "I think the rule should be that if you haven't got a sting you get no jury fee." (p. 79)
There are instances in this parabasis, however, where the intended effect of the presentation becomes lost, and the relevance of the entire scene comes into question. Such is the case in the chorus' recitation of past military glories; their exaggerated nostalgia seems here not only out of place but ridiculous, since it has little relevance to anything immediately preceding or following it. It does, however, have a certain bearing on the overall message given by the drama. By the end of the play, the audience has become aware of some of the main themes in the work, one of which is a criticism of current Athenian legal practices. Significantly, this criticism is inherent to the descriptions within the parabasis, and it is from this source that they derive their relevance. The chorus states, in what we later recognize as a foreshadowing of Procleon's own evaluation, that the legalistic duties of the jurors fall a distant second place to the importance of patriotism and soldiering:
Chorus: Not one of us could make a speech.
Denounce, arraign, inform, impeach,
Nor yearned such arts to master.
From these ambitions we forbore:
A question that concerned us more
Was how to ply a lusty oar
And make the ship go faster. (p. 78)
This implied criticism of the contemporary culture finds support in other phrases in the play, and even within the parabasis itself. More than once in the dialogues between Procleon and Anticleon, disparaging remarks are made about the youth of Athens and their apparent degeneration from former times, and this sentiment is repeated in the chorus' lines in the parabasis:
Chorus: Yes, we may be poor old crocks,
But the whiteness of our locks
Does the City better credit, I would say,
Than the ringlets and the fashions
And the pederastic passions
Of the namby-pamby youngsters of today. (p. 77)
Another relevance that this denouncing of modern customs has can be seen in Aristophanes' vicious attacks on Cleon and his supporters. The most outrageous of these criticisms comes, once again, in the parabasis. Decrying Cleon as "the greatest monster in the land," the chorus then proceeds to give this portrayal of their fearless leader:
Leader: Jag-toothed it was, and from its staring eyes
Shot rays more terrible than Cynna's smile;
And in a grisly circle round its head
Flickered the tongues of servile flatterers,
Foredoomed to groan; its voice was like the roar
Of mighty floods descending from the hills,
Bearing destruction: noisome was the stench
That issued from the brute as it slid forth,
With camel's rump and monstrous unwashed balls. (p. 76)
These daring attacks are not, of course, confined to the parabasis; indeed, a case could even be made to state that they are the unifying element of the entire drama. The relevance here is clear, and the continuation of the attacks on Cleon throughout the drama makes it obvious that the ideas expressed in the parabasis are as significant and pervasive as any others in the play, or indeed more so.
The final and perhaps most interesting issue brought up within the parabasis of The Wasps relates not as much to the content, but rather directly to the action. The text is here relevant in terms of its descriptions of the contemporary Greek theater, as discussed previously with The Birds, but, more importantly, the very form of the dialogue, in which the chorus narrates the tale of Aristophanes' past successes and failures, is presented as if it were an address by a lawyer. First, there is the accusation and statement of charges, when, at the very beginning of the parabasis, the leader steps forward and presents his case:
Leader: Now once again spectators, if you love
To hear plain speaking, pay attention, please!
The author has a bone to pick with you
For treating him unfairly, when, he says,
You've had so many splendid things from him. (p. 75)
The evidence is then presented: the history of the author's reception, his attempts at pleasing the audience, and finally, the judgment: "there never was a better comedy." After all this, the prosecuting chorus now lectures the audience, advising it to be a little more careful:
Leader: And if ever in future
A poet appears
Who can give you a play
That is full of ideas,
With a plot that is fresh
And a line that is new,
I advise you to give him
The praise that's his due. (p. 76-77)
As in The Birds, the significance and relevance of the parabasis of The Wasps often only becomes clear upon closer inspection. Yet the overall effect, even if this relevance is not consciously perceived, is to add to the message of both plays, through such devices as supporting the sentiments expressed in other scenes in the play, or by directly adding to the action. Clearly, the parabasis was for Aristophanes not merely a conventional form which had to be worked into the confines of the play; instead, it was a vehicle for the expression and presentation of many of the comedy's own themes.

What would you do if you received a hand-written letter in the mail telling you how amazing you are? In today's podcast you will find out just how much one person's heart-felt idea helped make a difference in other people's lives. Hannah Brencher, author of "Come Matter Here: An Invitation to Be Here In a Getting There World, " and Kathi, sit down to talk about Hannah's love letter movement.
Make a difference one simple step at a time.
Be encouraged to show up.
Be ready to learn in whatever situation you find yourself in.
I'm thrilled to have Hannah on the show!
Listen to today's podcast to find out how you can learn to make a difference one simple step at a time.
I want to encourage others, let them know they matter and are seen and are loved. I agree with the guest. Hannah, I am most proud of this in ny one on one meeting nd relationships. In the faces of my family. Friends. The checkout person I take time to connect with and encourage. It is nice to be complimented by lots, but when the face of your daughter praises me, now that is memorable and keeps me going.
I'd love to have a positive impact with moms in my local community. I think we have been hearing the message of "not enough" for too long that moms are feeling so pressure to do all the things and this is not a healthy place for families. I'd love to start with the example in my own family.
The words about reaching the one in front of you are so encouraging. God gave me a passion for children, and God gave a friend of mine a passion for single moms. Thus, Survive & Thrive was formed (a single parent ministry). There are times we wonder if we're making a difference. Sometimes we have 1 mom at our weekly dinner and study and sometimes we have 4 or 5. I'm going to use "Reaching the one in front of you" (whether that be a mom or a child) as our vision for this fall. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for all you're doing through your ministry!
Your question at the end is where I struggle. I have never known what I wanted to be when I grew up. Now that I am a grown up I still don't know. My career took a turn, I got fired, and have not been able to return to the profession. I don't know that I would want to now. I am working in a different field now and enjoy what I do but it isn't a calling. Sometimes I wish that God would just put up a sign that I could see and point me in the direction I need to be going. I envy but rejoice in all of you who have found your passion and go for it!
My huge aim is to make a difference in my legacy. I want my child to be raised strong, confident, and knowing how much love surrounds him. I want him to understand that his life is truly worth living and that God created him to make a difference in this world.


Boil milk in a pan and switch off. Leave it to cool.
When it is lukewarm, add 2 tsp of curd and mix well and pour milk for one container to another container 2-3 times so that the curd mixes well with the milk.
Then transfer the milk into a container and close the container with lid.
Leave the container undisturbed in a warm place for 5-6 hours. The curd will set within 5-6 hours under favorable conditions.
Refrigerate once the curd sets. If you leave the curd outside for a long time, it will become sour.

Talk about a one-two punch. Just last summer, as soaring gasoline prices forced consumers to rethink their preference for large, fuel-hungry vehicles, Honda Motor Co., like most of its automotive OEM competitors, saw demand for SUVs and pickup trucks dry up. Then, last fall, the credit crisis and souring economy conspired to undercut consumer spending further. Suddenly, Honda and other carmakers found they were spending a lot of money making product for which there was little demand.
"In the current market, the changes have all come so fast," says Honda spokesman Ron Lietzke. "We had to be agile enough to quickly shift product levels based on what people want to buy."
Fortunately for Honda, the company, over the past decade, has been laying the groundwork for reacting with agility. Honda, as part of what it calls a New Manufacturing System, designed its North American plants in places like Marysville, Ohio, and Lincoln, Alabama, to use common processes and equipment. The company replaced inflexible hydraulic welding systems with programmable robotic welding systems that can be easily used to produce a wide variety of cars and light trucks. And Honda cross-trained plant workers and deployed visual management systems, allowing workers to quickly shift from building one design to another.

The Central Programming Group reserves the right to change titles of accepted proposals to enhance marketability.
In the event that a proposal is not accepted for the new collaborative programming, it will be returned to the divisions in time for consideration under the division programming process.
Note: Limited funds have been set aside and are available on a competitive basis to divisional collaborative proposals for "high draw" presenters. If such funds are requested, a budget and justification will be needed at the time the proposal is submitted.
Symposia: A symposium is a focused session in which multiple participants present their views about a common theme, issue, or question. The views may or may not be adversarial and may or may not be supported by brief mention of relevant data. The format of a symposium usually consists of an introduction to the topic by the chairperson to provide the audience with a background for the ensuing discussion. Participants then present their viewpoints, followed by interchange among participants and between the audience and participants. Often the symposium will end with an overview of the proceedings by the chairperson or a discussant. Most important, a symposium is not a paper-reading session.
Participants should prepare presentations in advance so that the chairperson or discussant can prepare a coherent summary. Participants are encouraged to speak from notes; reading papers detracts from the spirit of the symposium. The chair or discussant should not give a separate presentation. Their role is to integrate, interpret, and highlight the essential issues raised by participants.
Skill-Building Sessions: A skill-building session is a program based on teaching direct skills and application of theory to participants.
Skill-building sessions combine theoretical and experiential approaches. Leaders typically offer practical experience to help participants increase their understanding and skills in a particular area of current interest in psychology.
Conversation Hours: A conversation hour is an opportunity for informal discussion and exchange of ideas between the audience and usually one or two presenters. Presenters are chosen for their expertise in a particular area of current interest to members. The audience can ask questions and discuss relevant issues in more detail than is usual in other types of sessions.
Posters: APA especially encourages poster submissions so that research findings, new ideas, innovations, and advances in the profession may be shared with as many individuals as possible.
Poster sessions allow presenters and attendees to engage in extended discussions regarding the author's presentation that is in illustrated format on a poster board. Poster boards are 8' high with a surface of 4' x 6' and are placed in rows in a large hall. Presenters are asked to be at their assigned poster board during the entire length of the poster session. If your submission is accepted for presentation in a poster session, you will be directed to online instructions to assist you in preparing your materials in the required format.
Papers: Papers submitted to a division will be grouped together by the division program chairperson within paper sessions scheduled for either 50 minutes or 1 hour 50 minutes. Paper presentations will be allotted a minimum of 10 minutes for oral presentation. This format may provide only limited opportunity for fully presenting one's work and for interacting with attendees. Time allotments for presentations shall be determined by the division's program chairperson.
• Type of program (e.g., symposium, discussion, skill-building session, conversation hour).
• Title of program and up to two subject index terms for the program (see Section X).

In the early 2000s he fell from Grace to grass after his 5,000 church members deserted him after he announced that he no longer believed in hell, this lead to fellow pentecostal bishops branding him a "card-carrying heretic". He lost his 645-acre ranch and his church in Tulsa, Oklahoma faced foreclosure forming him to relocate.
He no preaches to a smaller congregation and says he loves his new life.
"I was loving my life, going all over the world and preaching to crowds as large as 250,000, and writing books, and I had award-winning albums. I had a great life, and I don't regret one bit of it, But I wouldn't go back. I'm still putting the pieces together, but it works for me. People thought I had lost my mind. I actually found my mind with all of this."
Carlton Pearson Nobody Goes to Hell
Through the years he began studying the ancient Greek and Hebrew Scriptures and developed a cris of faith. He began agonizing over the fate of his non christian family members as his faith doomed them to hell.
"I couldn't reconcile a God whose mercy endures forever, and this torture chamber that's customized for unbelievers. How can you really love a god who's torturing your grandmother? And that's what I went through for years."
The more he studied the Bible he saw it as the book by men about God as opposed to the wordof God. Men were prone to mistranslations, political agendas and human emotions.
He had an epiphany one night as he watched Peter Jennings' report on the parade of suffering in Rwanda.
"I remember thinking that these were probably Muslims because God wouldn't let that happen to Christians, Unbelieving Muslims, little starving babies and that they were going to die and go to hell. And that's when I said, 'God, how could you, how could you call yourself a loving God and a living God, and just let them suffer like that, then to suck them into hell?' And that's when I thought I heard an inner voice say, 'Is that what you think we're doing?' I said, 'That's what I've been taught. You're sucking them into hell.' And that voice said, 'Can't you see they're already there? That's hell. You created that.'"
"The bitter torment of the idea of an angry, visceral, distant, stoic, harsh, unrelenting, unforgiving, intolerant God is hell. It's pagan, it's superstitious, and if you trace its history, it goes way back to where men feared the gods because something happened in life that caused frustration that they couldn't explain."
When he began sharing his message he was labelled heretic and his assistant pastors quit and his congregation dropped from 6,000 to less than 300.
"When people leave by the thousands, it's like pulling clumps of your hair out at one time. It was hell. Now that's hell. The people who created hell for me are people who used to love me and will call themselves followers of Christ. It wasn't some secular, atheist, God-hating infidel that denounced me … my own brethren, with whom I sat, and ate, whose babies I dedicated."
"Religion won't let you love yourself. Religion is the accuser of the brethren, that's what the devil is. It's legal systems, religious dogmas that say you're not good enough, you're not God enough. People who believe in hell create it for themselves and others. People who believe in devils and demons become that in consciousness, and they act it out."
Carlton Pearson Gospel of Inclusion
After his fall out with Pentecostal dominations he preaches what he calls 'gospel of inclusion'. He says he believes that only a small subset of the population will receive salvation; instead, he has sought to build a more welcoming church, particularly by reaching out to the LGBT community. He said he now realizes LGBT people "need healing ministry and restorative ministry, because of the abuse that the church has given them."
"Today Pearson's ministry targets specifically and primarily the 'un or less-churched.' He makes his appeal to those who feel spiritually unresolved. His ministry now addresses issues of spiritual, social, moral, cultural, religious and political significance in a practical, yet provocative manner relating faith to culture. He likes to call himself a Sacred Activist and Spiritual Progressive and is a strong proponent of Justice and Peace issues," his website reads.
Carlton Pearson Cancer
After he lost his congregation he agonized over his new belief.
"If you think I haven't sat and asked God, 'Am I crazy? I see you bigger and better but am I, am I gonna lead people to hell?' Kill me God."
Some people believe that his prayer was answered as he was diagnosed with prostrate cancer in 2005 which saw him hospitalized the same year. He got treated and the cancer is in remission.
Carlton Pearson Church/ The Higher Dimensions Worship Center
In November 2006, Pearson was recognized as a United Church of Christ serve.
In June 2008, the Higher Dimensions Worship Center moved its social occasions to the All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa. On September 7, 2008, Pearson held his last organization for the Higher Dimensions Worship Center, and it was devoured into the All Souls Unitarian Church.
The Christ Universal Temple (Chicago)
In May 2009, Pearson was named the between time minister of the Christ Universal Temple, a huge New Thought assembling in Chicago, Illinois. On January 3, 2011, it was represented that he had left this position.
New Dimensions Chicago and return to Tulsa
In 2014 Pearson returned to Tulsa to be with his powerless father who kicked the bucket two days after Pearson's 62nd birthday. He began addressing at the 11 a.m. advantage at All Souls Unitarian Church on the third Sunday of the month, while up 'til now set out to Chicago to lecture once consistently at New Dimensions Chicago, the affiliation he set up there. Pearson in like manner began having a month to month chat with a guest before a live gathering of spectators at Tulsa's "My Studio" in May 2015. His first dialog was with Neale Donald Walsch, author of the top of the line nine-book arrangement, Conversations With God.
Carlton Pearson Daughter/ Majeste Pearson
In June 2018 Carlton Pearson daughter, Majeste Pearson, auditioned for 'The Four' season 2. She shared a little bit about her background
"My dad was at the height of his career and suddenly he had a shift in his beliefs and decided that there was no Hell and that everybody was going to Heaven. The community labeled my father a heretic. We lost everything. I can't even imagine all that he had to go through for him to still come home and smile. His heart and his determination has always been consistent and that's what inspires me and I feel like it's what I have because that's my dad."
Majeste sang Adele's hit song "Someone Like You" and blew the judges away. She was voted to the net round where she battled Carvena Jones emerging the winner. She lost her seat to a new challenger Jesse Kramer.
Carlton Pearson Divorce
In 2015 Carlton's wife, Gina Pearson, filed for divorce on August 25, 2015 citing "incompatibility issues which has completely destroyed the legitimate aims of the marriage of the parties and rendered its continuation impossible by reason of which petitioner is entitled to dissolution of marriage from respondent."
Carlton Pearson New Movie Come Sunday 2018 On Netflix
Netflix's new biopic, Come Sunday, relates the record of Carlton Pearson, a Pentecostal religious director who ended up one of the key African Americans to have a megachurch in Tulsa — and lost everything by changing his feelings. Decades after his horrifying foundation of incident and rejection, Carlton Pearson from Come Sunday now, in 2018, is so far addressing, yet with an endlessly sudden mentality in contrast with the one that started his calling.
As showed by his own particular site, Pearson today is developing a "multi-social and on a very basic level far reaching 'Metacostal' computerized gathering" that'll empower him to spread his new, modernized message of affirmation and confidence, laced with finding that through the most significant feeling of being. He furthermore settled the Metacostal Network of Churches and Ministries, which embraces on an effective procedure to interfacing with Christianity.
It's irrefutably as per the feelings showed up in Come Sunday, spouting April 13. While various priests in the overall public eye have faced examination due to shock including misappropriation or having illegal connections, Pearson's bad behavior as per his gathering was addressing that there is no hellfire. As the film inconspicuous components, that turned out ineffectively too well, undoubtedly, and Pearson went up against a great deal of stun for his as of late found feelings.

Q: Is $R/I$ flat over $R$ when $I$ is the nilradical of $R$ and $I=I^2$? This is a flowup of this question. To be precise, let $R$ is a commutative unitary ring with nilradical $I$. In the above URL, it is proved that if $R/I$ is a flat $R$-module, then $I=I^2$.
My question is whether the converse holds in general. Thanks !

A: Not in general, no.
Let $R$ be a zero dimensional local ring, and suppose that its maximal ideal $I$
satisfies $I^2 = I$.  Then $R/I$ is flat over $R$ only if $I = 0$.  (See this MO answer.)
E.g. if $S$ is a one-dimensional local domain with maximal ideal $\mathfrak m $ such that $\mathfrak m^2 = \mathfrak m$
and $x \in \mathfrak m$ is non-zero, then $R := S/(x)$ is a zero-dimensional local ring whose maximal ideal $I$ satifies $I^2 = I$.
E.g. Let $S = \overline{\mathbb Z}_p$ denote the integral closure of $\mathbb Z_p$ in $\overline{\mathbb Q}_p$, and take $s = p$.  Then $R = \overline{\mathbb Z}_p/(p)$ gives a concrete example.

Q: Difference between 'ionic build' and 'cordova build'? I started learning how to build mobile apps using the ionic framework.
I do see people using ionic build and others use cordova build.
I will like to know the difference between the two and when to use them.

A: They are the same. (emphasis added)

The build command builds an app for a specific platform. Pass in either ios or android to generate platform specific code in the platforms subdirectory.
The build command is a proxy for Cordova's build command.

Ionic | build CLI

A: Looking at the code https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/blob/master/lib/ionic/cordova.js ionic build and cordova build seems to be the same. No conditionals set for 'build' command there. Building command requires platform so it sets isPlatformCmd within the code, but it is used only with 'add' or 'remove' commands.
So the only difference for the 'build' seems to be returning success return code no matter how internally executed cordova ends.
.then(function() {
  return self.runCordova(cmdName, argv);
})
.then(function(runCode) {
  //We dont want to do anything if the cordova command failed
  if(runCode !== 0 || argv.nosave) {
    return
  }
  ...
}

A: *

*Apache Cordova is community project, letting you build mobile apps for various mobile platforms with one unique code base, as you develop your app with web technologies (HTML5, Javascript and CSS3) instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in Android, iOS, or Windows Phone.

*Ionic Framework is a set of css classes and a library of Javascript directives and modules, built on top of Cordova, with AngularJS.

UNCW Facts
Eye Size of Deep-Sea Shrimp Reveal Secrets of the Deep
Different species of deep-sea shrimp have evolved to have different sized eyes to best see one another, according to new research published by Dr. Lorian Schweikert, UNCW assistant professor in the department of biology and marine biology.
Dr. Schweikert collaborated with a team of researchers, including co-lead author Dr. Kate Thomas from the University of Texas and Dr. Heather Bracken-Grissom from Florida International University and discovered that in the case of deep-sea sergestid shrimps, the eyes are windows to the secret of life in the deep sea.
More than other ecological factors, like habitat, migration patterns, depth and even sunlight level, bioluminescence was the strongest indicator for how big the shrimp's eyes are — a finding that emphasizes the connection between vision and bioluminescence, and provides more evidence that making light is, in fact, a deep-sea form of communication.
Schweikert and team examined 454 sergestid shrimps from 16 species. Eye size directly correlated to specific types of light organs.
"I think I expected depth to have the strongest effect on eye size, because sunlight can be such a powerful entity in marine environments," Schweikert said. "That's what is so incredible about our findings. They suggest these shrimps evolved to have different eye sizes to better see the bioluminescence of their own species."
In a place as huge and expansive as the ocean, some animals in the deep sea evolved to produce light. Bright blue bioluminescence is a way to communicate. Like all communication, this language of light is about transmitting and receiving signals. Vision and bioluminescence are intertwined.
"Such a simple and elegant part of nature, like eye size, can tell you how an animal might behave and survive in its environment," Schweikert said. "Vision is so important to understanding the lives of many animals, especially those in the deep sea. I wanted to know what it was about their lives underwater that caused these shrimps to have different eyes and sensitivities in vision."
Deep-sea sergestid shrimp each have a sort of unique pattern of bioluminescence, almost like a fingerprint. That's because the light organs, called photophores, vary. Deep-sea shrimp in this study have three different variations — lensed, non-lensed and internal light organs called organs of Pesta. However, even across this species, the light organs are an array of different sizes, structures and arranged in different ways.
The largest and brightest type of photophore is the organs of Pesta, most common in shrimp that migrate to shallower waters where light levels are higher. Species with these photophores had the smallest eyes.
The deep-sea shrimp with the biggest eyes had smaller photophores dispersed along their bodies. Because they can migrate and use more deep and dark habitats, evolving to have larger eyes is a way to compensate and better detect fainter or weaker light.
"There is still so much to learn from studying these deep-sea marvels and we are only beginning to understand how and why animals use bioluminescence. I am hopeful this work will inspire others to think about all the possible ways animals may be using the language of light in the deep sea," Bracken-Grissom said.
This research was published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.

Q: Create a sequence from the starting and ending values in a SQL Server 2008 table? I am using SQL Server 2008. I have a table temp:
select * from temp

returns this:
name    start_limit   end_limit
-------------------------------
j       2             7
t       1             9

Now I want a to generate the following sequence
name    allowed values
----------------------
j       2
j       3
j       4
j       5
j       6
j       7
t       1
t       2
t       3
t       4
t       5
t       6
t       7
t       8
t       9

What should I do?

A: This will work perfectly:
;with a as(
select name,start_limit as [allowed values] from temp
union all
select b.name,a.[allowed values]+1 as [allowed values] from temp b inner join a on b.name=a.name and b.end_limit>a.[allowed values]
)
select * from a order by name,seq;

A: Here is one way using tally table no recursion required
;WITH E1(N) AS (
                 SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL
                 SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL
                 SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1
                ),                          --10E+1 or 10 rows
       E2(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E1 a, E1 b), --10E+2 or 100 rows
       E4(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E2 a, E2 b), --10E+4 or 10,000 rows max
cteTally(N) AS (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM E4)
SELECT a.name,c.N

Q: How to deploy locally multiple flows using Prefect 2.0? I'm reading Prefect documentation and trying to understand how local deployment works. I can deploy a flow locally following the below steps.
First, I build the flow:
prefect deployment build ./log_flow.py:log_flow -n log-simple -q test

Where ./log_flow.py:log_flow are, respectively, the flow's location and entrypoint. log-simple is the name of deployment and test is the work queue
Second, I start the worker using:
prefect agent start -q 'test'

To apply the deployment, I use python running the below snippet:
from log_flow import log_flow
from prefect.deployments import Deployment

deployment = Deployment.build_from_flow(
    flow=log_flow,
    name="log-simple",
    parameters={"name": "Marvin"},
    infra_overrides={"env": {"PREFECT_LOGGING_LEVEL": "DEBUG"}},
    work_queue_name="test",
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    deployment.apply()

Well, that works fine for a single flow. But how can I deploy several flows at once? I can repeat the above process for every flow, but it looks a bit unpractical to me since each build step generates another YAML file. I think would be more practical if my deployment generates a single YAML file for all flows.
Is there a way to deploy several flows at once in Prefect 2.0?

A: Yes, absolutely. You could loop over all flows from Python, bash or from CI/CD. Here are a couple of examples showing how you could approach it:

*

*CI/CD: https://github.com/anna-geller/dataflow-ops/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yaml#L35

*bash script (there are several example bash scripts in this repo for various infra/storage options): https://github.com/anna-geller/prefect-dataplatform/blob/main/deploy_locally.py

Q: file.exists() returning false in Android unit test I am trying to test some file related logic in an Android unit test, but whenever I call file.exists() it always returns false for some reason. Here is a boiled down example of a test case I have:
 @Test
    fun `some test case`() {
        val file = File("/storage/emulated/0/Photo1234.jpg")
        assertTrue(file.exists()) // Fails
    }
}

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I've also tried file.absoluteFile.exists() but that returns false also.

A: I figured it out. I was not calling file.createNewFile().
