Turns out not that many people use Popcorn Time, after all
Janko Roettgers Mar 17, 2014 - 3:59 PM CDT
http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/popcorn-time-reality-check-usage-of-the-piracy-app-is-actually-tiny-1201136445/
BitTorrent-based video streaming app Popcorn Time may be the media darling of the moment, but it doesn't account for a whole lot of P2P traffic — at least not yet. Popcorn Time usage makes up for less than 1 percent of torrent downloads in March, according to Variety, which tapped German P2P analytics company Excipio for the data. Popcorn Time offers users the ability to stream videos directly as opposed to having to download them first to their hard drives. The app first surfaced in early March, got briefly shut down by its own developers soon after, and resurfaced only days later on different servers.

N.J. teens saw grandparents struggle to book vaccine appointments, so they launched a site to help
Updated: Mar. 31, 2021, 11:30 a.m. | Published: Mar. 31, 2021, 11:30 a.m.
New Jersey teens Dhillon (right), 17, and Shaan Choudhri (left), 15, launched a website to help the elderly easily book COVID vaccine appointments.
By Steven Rodas | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
When Sharda and Sudhir Mathur were born, the personal computer was still decades away from being invented.
So, their grandchildren were not surprised when the Edison couple, who are in their 70s, had trouble navigating the state's COVID-19 vaccine website to book appointments.
First, the retirees had to chose the correct New Jersey vaccine site near their Edison home. Then, they had to sort through the safety protocols once they arrived and prepare for the vaccine's possible side effects.
The couple's daughter provided help over the phone from 28 miles away at her home in Lawrenceville.
But it wasn't easy.
"'Wait. What do you mean I have to click there?'" Deepika Choudhri recalls her mother saying as she tried to book an appointment online.
"My kids definitely recognized the problem as far as the government asking elderly people to register online," Choudhri said.
Aware of how much their "Nani" and "Nana" struggled to navigate the state's vaccine appointment hubs — and hearing similar anecdotes being broadcast on the news —brothers Dhillon, 17, and Shaan Choudhri, 15, decided to launch www.njvaxfinder.com for people like their grandparents.
"There's a lot of information available online on these websites but it's not really centralized anywhere. We thought we could make something where everything is on one page and it's very simple to use," said Dhillon, a junior at the Lawrenceville School, a private prep school in Mercer County.
Realities of COVID-19
Dhillon and Shaan have been confronted with the realities of the coronavirus pandemic on multiple fronts since last March. It curtailed their baseball season – the pair play for the Big Red at school and the Diamond Jacks as part of a summer league. Their classes, like millions around the country, shifted to remote instruction.
"We weren't able to go places on top of that," said Shaan, a freshman. "I don't think we really even left our house for a month besides maybe grocery shopping and things like that. That can take a toll on you."
Dhillon said the state of hospitals in the midst of the pandemic hit home too. Their father, Ajay, works as a surgeon and specializes in intervention radiology — medical imaging for minimally invasive surgeries used for various conditions.
"He was on the frontlines and so he had been dealing with a lot of the stress while hospitals were being overrun with COVID," said Dhillon.
A few times early in the pandemic their father remained downstairs at their home for fear he may have been exposed to the virus at work – fastening on a face mask and keeping distant.
While no one at home became sick, Dhillon says their experiences in the past year taught them about the serious threat posed by the virus.
"When [vaccines] became available, my dad told us about how important this was for people to do. That was a big part of what drove us too," Dhillon said.
New Jersey teens Dhillon (left), 17, and Shaan Choudhri (right), 15, launched a website to help the elderly easily book COVID vaccine appointments.
Launch and upkeep
Dhillon and Shaan – who are both savvy in programming - spent their spring break getting their website ready for launch.
The bare bones website includes a list of vaccine locations and a map, which you can easily scroll through.
Shaan said the rudimentary look of the portal is on purpose after taking a cue from their mom, who works as a pharmacist. "Just imagine it's your grandmother going onto a website to find a location for her shot," she told them as they drew up plans.
Visitors to the website are able to simply type in their zip code and pull up nearby vaccine center based on settings that can be toggled to 5, 10 or 25 miles. The brothers also included helpful CDC links for vaccine types, information on how the inoculations work and what to do prior to your appointment.
There's also an option that sends patients to an online reporting tool in the event they experience adverse effects from their doses.
The website relies on a database the brothers keep up to date. They ask that anyone with more up-to-date information or ideas for what should be added to reach out.
Even with baseball and in-person classes starting up again Tuesday, Dhillon and Shaan said they will continue improving the website and plan to launch a complimentary app this summer.
"What made me and my husband most proud is that they're able to balance their rigorous curriculums and still do this," said Deepika. "They really wanted to do their part."
Dhillon, who is starting to consider colleges, says he is mulling a career in computer science or politics and law. Shaan, who says he's relieved to reunite with friends in class this week, is leaning more toward the sciences.
Although much remains undecided, the pair agrees they've gained a new appreciation for their family — including sharing chicken, rice and naan with their grandparents, once they were finally able to get vaccinated.
"We weren't able to see them for all of last year. Once they were vaccinated we waited two weeks and then went to see them in mid-March," said Dhillon. "It was a pretty crazy experience… being able to see them in person, being able to hug them. We didn't have to wear masks or anything. We didn't have to think about the threat of the virus."

Major U.S. indices closed mostly higher on Tuesday November 27. Russell 2000 closed down. The volume was mixed. Dow Jones Industrial Average and Dow Jones Transportation Average traded in higher volume. S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000 traded in lower volume.
The S&P 500 recouped losses to finish with a gain of 0.3% in a volatile session on Tuesday. The stock market was able to shrug off early angst caused by President Donald Trump reiterating his hard-nosed tariff stance.
Overseas, European equities finished modestly lower on Tuesday with Germany's DAX (-0.4%) showing relative weakness. Elsewhere, Asian equity markets finished mixed with China's Shanghai Composite unchanged.
The key takeaway from the report [Conference Board's Consumer Confidence] is that consumer confidence remains at historically strong levels due in large part to positive views on the labor market.

Q: Shouldn't a VSYNC'ed cycle in a game take a constant amount of time? I am writing a little snake game in C, using SDL, on Windows.
On each frame I move each square a constant amount of pixels (e.g. 2 pixels).
As long as I have Vsync enabled, the movement is very smooth. However, I was trying to achieve the same smoothness without Vsync, just to learn how things work, and after a lot of struggle I have managed to time the cycles down to almost a perfect 0.016667 seconds (60Hz monitor here) by using the Performance Counter to measure repeated SDL_Delay(1) until 0.014 seconds of a cycle + an empty loop up to 0.016667s. This works great (so it's not a matter of SDL_Delay(1) taking more than it should) I guess, because 1 in 1000 frames is off by 0.1ms, and this should not be noticeable.
But the movement is still jerky sometimes - as if it doesn't move at all for one frame and then catches up double on the next. This I think boils down to the fact that the game is updating and rendering when it should, but the actual display on the monitor takes place a little sooner than it should, and then a little later than it should.
So I did some time measurements and the results are very surprising to me - see attached graphs. With Vsync enabled, the measured cycle times are all over the place - much much worse than the non-vsynced version - and I was expecting a perfect constant time. So the question is: Is the actual time between 2 consecutive drawings to the physical monitor not constant? Because if that is the case there is no way you can achieve what I am trying without some sort of feedback of when exactly the last drawing took place...
P.S. The update and rendering are very very fast - e.g. if the cycle is not limited it can go millions of times per second. So that is not slowing the cycle down.

A: For the question: Is the actual time between 2 consecutive drawings to the physical monitor not constant? the answer is NO because it will depend on what it needs to be render.
You are saying that you move your squares on each frame and thats an error because as you see, the frames aren't displayed in constant time. You need to code this behavior (and all your game logic) in a framerate independent manner, instead of moving N pixels each frame, you need to set a speed based in time, could it be 2pixels each 3ms and then each frame you should compute the elapsed time between frames (google that for SDL) and with that elapsed time you could move your objects. Eg (in pseudo code).
float speed = 10;
float timeFrameInMS = 2;

onNewFrame(){
    float elapsedTimeInMS = ...getting the elapsed time.. // lets say it is .5ms
    float movePercentage = elapsedTimeInMS/timeFrameInMS // .25
    float distanceToMove = speed*movePercentage.
    /*Move objects*/
}

You need to start thinking in time instead of frames, because the device running the game could at some moment have a "freeze" and the time between frames could be 1 second for example (it happens). It could also be the other way, there could be a device running at twice the framerate you are developing, if you base your logic on frames then this device will have everything at double the speed.
Here is a book on the topic and with other basic tecniques for game development: Game Programming Algorithms and Techniques: A Platform-Agnostic Approach

Eating: Eating, eating, eating. What else does one do in February? Two current obsessions – one clean, one not so clean.
Greek yogurt with frozen organic wild blueberries stirred in. Stir and eat before the berries thaw. It's like candy, in your healthy yogurt!
Boulder Canyon olive oil chips – a bag literally fell into my grocery cart. And on sale! They need to make a bigger bag. It's a problem. We solved this dilemma by ordering 3 bags at a time from Jet.
Drinking: 100% fresh squeezed orange juice from Fresh Market. Drink your fruit!
Wearing: black yoga pants. every day. like they are my uniform. I may need an intervention. Soon.
Feeling: I have a new tag line for this hella year. Relentless optimism. It's the healthy alternative. Join me?
Weather: Feb.18, sunny and a high of 72°. The forecast for the next few days? Equally fabulous.
Wanting: a reason to try Boomboxgifts.com. I wish I'd known about this very cool way to create a memory box last year for my sweetie's birthday. The concept is to purchase a beautifully designed box, collaborate with friends and family to capture in writing a loved one's story through vignettes, stories, jokes, quotes, etc. Boombox is your project manager complete with online dashboard. Check it out. It's a neat idea.
Needing: a visit to our local Farmer's Market. We're a bit in the winter doldrums in our kitchen. Stews, soups and chili have lost their top rankings. The warmer weather calls for less stove-top cooking and more grill time. Tonight we're having a Mediterranean feast, our version of "hello fresh": One Skillet Paleo Mediterranean Chicken. Time tested, mom approved!
Thinking: that these are the sweetest days. Frank gave me roses for Valentine's Day. Our love is such a treasure to me. This 50'something time of life is amazing. Time for simple pleasures, best-laid plans, belly laughs, late dinners and early nights.
Watching: Odd Mom Out. I discovered this light, chick flick genre, laugh out loud Bravo series in a roundabout way. I spend a lot of time in my car during the week driving from client to client. One day I heard Jill Kargman on Sirius XM radio. To be honest I didn't dig her at first. I think it's a generational thing. But I kept listening and liked her more and more. She's got a sharp wit and she doesn't hold back. So when she made references to her television series, Odd Mom Out, my curiosity was piqued. I'm a fan. I could binge watch seasons 1 and 2 but I'm choosing to go slowly until Season 3 is in the bag.
Yesterday was Random Acts of Kindness Day. I think we should make 2017 Random Acts of Kindness Year instead.

Whether you have a full-time job, part-time job, or you are a stay-at-home mom, a great way to supplement your income is by finding a legit side job. An online side job, otherwise known as a side hustle, can be any type of paid work you complete.
Most online side jobs allow you more freedom than having a second job because they are flexible and can pay you per job instead of by the hour. Plus, the only requirements are a computer, internet service, and often times a telephone.
The only problem that arises when finding an online side job is finding jobs that are legit. There are a ton of spammy sites and scams on the internet especially when it comes to finding paid work. Many sites will promise you a high amount of money, but the work you are doing is not what they describe on their site.
For example, I have come across numerous rebate processing jobs that sound amazingly easy to complete with a large amount of money. Every single one of these jobs that I have looked into consisted of you selling a service and trying to get people to sign-up so that you got paid. You do not actually process any rebates. These are the kinds of jobs that you need to beware of when it comes to finding paid work online.
After searching for good online side jobs, I have found a select few that are legit. Below you will find a list of legit online side jobs along with where you can look for open positions.
Writers are in huge demand. Many websites and blog owners do not have the resources to create new content, so they need to outsource it to freelancers.
If you are an expert in a particular or subject or have good writing skills, you can check these sites and apply for job openings: Upwork and Guru.
See this post for more freelance writing jobs.
Tasks can include scheduling, social media management, administrative duties, bookkeeping, etc. Depending on your schedule many virtual assistant jobs can be both part-time or full-time and can be done when it fits into your schedule.
Virtual Assistant jobs can have a wide range of people who will hire you. To find work you can search blogs, check your local job posting sites, Indeed, and FlexJobs.
For this side job you definitely need to have the experience needed to complete graphic design work. Starting out as a freelancer is the perfect way to start your career while still working as many hours as you desire.
Some of the best places to find work online for graphic designers include Coroflot and Authentic Jobs.
This online side job normally entails you answering questions, helping customers with a problem or complaint, and general product information. Most customer service representatives who work from home do need to work set hours and shifts. This side job does not have as much flexibility, but you can do it from the comfort of your home.
You can find customer service representative jobs on Working Solutions or even search at home customer service representative. A lot of companies will have this type of position listed on their own personal job boards.
This is one area where you need to be careful. There are a lot of websites and companies who are looking to have people enter data into their software systems. The best part of these jobs is the work is easy, and you do not need to have a lot of experience to get hired. But make sure to watch out for the companies that only pay pennies per document and that have hyped-up ads.
If you are seeking a data entry job that you can do from home take a look at VirtualBee or Dell, who hires Data Entry Operators.
Make sure you take the time to properly research any company before divulging personal information or accepting a position. If they seem "too good to be true," more than likely they are. Even though there are a lot of scams online, you can still find legit work from home jobs that you can complete in your spare time.
What side jobs have you done?

The documentary film follows the challenging lives of five American students who face bullying on a daily basis. Hirsch, a former victim of bullying himself, has said that he made the film for middle school and high school-aged children. Currently, the MPAA is under fire for giving the film an R rating effectively limiting access to the film's intended audience.

The Grammys Used To Be Awesome....
The Grammys Used To Be Awesome. They're Not Anymore.
February 10, 2015 by E. Spencer Kyte
Above: Kanye West stole the spotlight at the Grammys once again by rushing to the stage when Beck won the Album of the Year award for his 'Morning Phases'
The Grammys have never been a true measuring stick for the best in music.
Go back at look at some of the past winners and nominees in the biggest categories like Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year – which are not the same thing, though the same song has earned both awards a number of times, making it all the more confusing – and it's obvious that The Grammys are another awards show where people that don't actually have their finger on the pulse of what is awesome and deserving of praise in the industry gets acknowledged.
But at least the show itself used to be good. You'd see a bunch of awards handed out, sometimes to people you had never heard of before or to Best New Artist winners that had actually been around for quite some time, and the performances were usually top notch.
The Grammys were a night to show out in front of industry people and a large, captive audience watching at home on television. Even if your favourite singer, band, duo or group didn't take home a little golden gramophone statue or two (or four as was the case for Sam Smith on Sunday), at least there were a handful of kick-ass performances that made the night entertaining.
Not anymore.
The Grammys used to be one of the best nights of the year for music fans. Now, they're tedious, laboured and annoying and the performances aren't holding up their end of the bargain either.
The highlights of Sunday's show weren't the featured artists, but rather the "special guests" that performed alongside of them: Annie Lennox showcasing her pipes with Hozier, Jeff Lynne of ELO upstaging Ed Sheeran, Mary J. Blige teaming up with Smith for "Stay With Me." Outside of those appearances, the night was mostly disposable.
Arianna Grande singing some ballad designed to let her do little vocal runs? Blah.
Tom Jones and Jessie J doing an awkward duet of a Maverick and Goose classic? Pass.
Pharrell doing a Hans Zimmer-infused version of "Happy," a song that feels like it has been around forever already? Tip of the cap for trying something different, but wrap it up.
Katy Perry not doing some song where she's dressed like Cleopatra or doesn't have fireworks shooting out of her boobs? Yawn.
When the best overall performance of the night is Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga doing a jazzy little number where Ms. Germanotta sets aside her usual accoutrements and just sings (which she's actually quite good at doing), that's saying something because Tony Bennett is pushing 90. Dude is 12 years away from having been around for a full century and he was half of the best performance of the night in a night designed to celebrate the best in music.
Props to Tony Bennett, but that's a sure sign that The Grammys need fixing and quick.
For starters, enough with LL Cool J as the host. Yes, he stars in CSI: Portland or NCIS: Phoenix or whatever on CBS, but he's built to be a host. He's only a marginally better actor. Find somebody with a little moxie and playfulness and let them actually host the show rather than sending James Todd Smith out there to throw to different presenters and performances because it doesn't work.
Second, don't put something as powerful and moving as Common and John Legend performing "Glory" at the end of the show. It's the kind of piece that moves people and something that belongs closer to the start of the program. Put that effort after Bubblegum Grande's ballad and you would have won some people back. Instead, Tom Jones and Jessie J followed and people stopped paying attention.
And as much as everyone loves a good ballad when they're singing at home by themselves or driving with the windows up, have 47 of them on a live television broadcast is rough, especially when the performances that would normally inject some life into the proceedings – Usher, Kanye, Beyonce – are all keeping it low key. Madonna was the only performer to really put on a performance, outside of Kristen Wiig doing Sia as Sia stared at the wall.
Madonna is 56. Not that she didn't bring it, but aren't there any more youthful acts that can actually light it up at The Grammys any more?
The best part of the night were Taylor Swift's various appearances. Whether presenting or grooving in the aisle, T-Swift was on point.
Come to think of it, that's who should host next year.
And every year.
She gets it.
The people at The Grammys clearly don't.

MONTRÉAL — Choosing to stand and hold the microphone in his hand during his post-match press conference to avoid any further cramping, Denis Shapovalov, less than an hour after unquestionably earning the landmark victory of his tennis career, was asked how he was feeling after spending two hours and 46 minutes exchanging groundstrokes in anger with Rafael Nadal – and beating him.
He could have said elated, as he surely was. He could have said shocked, which he definitely was. Instead, he admitted that he was…ready for bed.
You would want to go to sleep as soon as possible, too, knowing your upcoming dream will actually be about the realization of the hundreds of dreams imagined before it.
One cannot come close to being hyperbolic in attempting to put into context Shapolavov's triumph over the world's No. 1 men's singles player, 15-time Grand Slam champion Nadal, in the cool Montréal evening on Thursday. Let us count the ways in what makes this win one of the more historic victories by an unseeded player in any tournament in the sport's recent history.
At 18 years and three months, Shapovalov is now the youngest-ever quarterfinalist in ATP Masters 1000 history (since 1990). He also is the youngest Rogers Cup quarterfinalist since 1974, when a young Swede named Bjorn Borg made the last eight at 18 years and two months.
How did that Borg guy turn out afterward?
Furthermore, Shapovalov is the youngest player to beat a Top Two opponent in a completed match since Nadal, at 17 years old, defeated then world No. 1 Roger Federer in the third round of the ATP Masters 1000 in Miami.
How did that Nadal guy turn out afterward?
That is the class Shapovalov just joined tonight. It was his punishing inside-out forehand that was his biggest weapon in his arsenal (49 winners overall, 33 on the forehand), yet the partisan, deafening crowd noise from his fellow Canadians – turning the atmosphere to that you might witness before the start of a Montréal Canadiens home playoff game – might have been the most devastating weapon.
One of those supporters in the stands happened to be none other than hockey legend Wayne Gretzky. Undoubtedly the country's best-ever sportsman, Gretzky, who is friends with Shapovalov's manager, got to see one of Canada's biggest-ever wins in the sport of tennis. In the process, the Great One also got to see some great escapes from Shapovalov tonight, especially in the beginning of the third set. After winning the second set, 6-4, Shapovalov was under pressure on his serve time and again, only to pull himself out of the fire each time. Nadal held at least one break point on each of Shapovalov's first three service games, and had six of them combined during that stretch. All of them were erased by Shapovalov, who also wiped out a 3-0 deficit in the final set tiebreak, winning seven of the last eight points of the match.
As monumental as the win is for Shapovalov personally, it may also actually serve as a seminal moment for the Tennis Canada program. All this week at Coupe Rogers, the 10-year anniversary of the launch of the National Tennis Centre, located on the grounds of this tournament, has been celebrated. Before 2007, there was no central training hub for up-and-coming tennis players in the country, as those players, if they chose to stay in Canada during their formative years in tennis, primarily worked with their own coaches and remained with their tennis clubs in the provinces they resided. Shapovalov spent most of his development just north of Toronto being coached by his mom, Tessa, and personal coach Adriano Fuorivia, who still consults him. It was only at the beginning of this year that Shapovalov decided to continue his development here in Montréal.
Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard, the country's two biggest current hopes for tennis glory, developed their games here in Montréal during their final years as juniors, and have both reached the final of a Grand Slam. Both have also experienced struggles on tour recently, particularly in the showpiece tennis event that takes place on Canadian soil, with both being eliminated from the tournament this year in their first match. (Bouchard's match in the Rogers Cup took place in Toronto.) Shapovalov's win is already being compared to, arguably, the biggest singles win ever by any Canadian player. That is when then 19-year-old Daniel Nestor – ranked No. 239 in the world – shocked world No. 1 Stefan Edberg in five sets during a 1992 Davis Cup tie between Canada and Sweden in Vancouver.
Shapovalov, during the on-court interview with TVA Sports, mentioned that Nadal was his idol growing up while acknowledging that he could not have pulled out the victory without the crowd support. He got the chance to play his idol, though the fairytale surely was put on hold when he actually felt the weight of every shot coming from the other side of the net.
Shapovalov not only matched Nadal's competitive fight, but outshone him in the biggest moments of the match.
That dream became reality, but a dream finish in Montréal is not over just yet. Let him get to bed as soon as possible and see if he can make that dream come true as well.


And any details you would like to share, which teams were playing, end result scoring, if you know how many other fans attended, how far did you travel to see the match, etc, etc.
I've seen lots of great matches, but I guess the 'best' one has to be the one that still gets mentioned as one of the greatest comebacks of all time.
20th February, 2001: Tranmere Rovers 4 - 3 Southampton.
It was the FA Cup fifth round. Tranmere were in Division 1 (and ended up finishing bottom) and Southampton in the Premiership. Tranmere had managed to hold Southampton to a 0-0 draw in Southampton, so the replay was at Prenton Park. I had a Tranmere season ticket because they were my local club and child's season tickets cost about £25 for the season. However, the friends I went with couldn't make it, so I went with my dad (who I usually only went to Liverpool matches with).
Southampton went 3-0 up, and were still 3-0 up by the 58th minute. However, Paul Rideout scored a hat-trick and Stuart Barlow scored a fourth to win the game 4-3, without even needing extra time!
Tranmere went into the quarter finals against Liverpool, and I watched from my Tranmere season ticket seat, but cheered all 6 goals as Liverpool won 4-2. I certainly wasn't the only one doing that!
Seen many great games, seen a fair few gruellers too, including the worst FA Cup final ever, although the end result was very special. A very satisfying match i saw was at City Ground, Notts Forest v Man United in '99 i think it was, we battered them 8-2, including 4 goals from Ollie Gunnar Solskjaer who started as sub.
I must remember that game better than you! It was 8-1.
Elessar wrote: I must remember that game better than you! It was 8-1.
Yeah you're right i must have the thrashing we gave Arsenal this season on my mind, i bet you remember the worst ever FA Cup final too, 1996.
Only vaguely; it was a couple of years before I started following football. I know it was a disappointing result though!
Elessar wrote: Only vaguely; it was a couple of years before I started following football. I know it was a disappointing result though!
The result was good for me, Cantona whacks in the only goal after about 86mins, but a terrible game, and Liverpools match day suits were just as bad remember them? if not, look for a picture, i'm sure lots were taken.
Not the best match I would see but the most memorable was my first, when my dad took me to see Wales v England in the 1974 Home Internationals. England won 2-0 with Keegan scoring one of his (if not the) first England goals, and Stan Bowles his only England goal. It was, I if I remember rightly, England's first game without Ramsey in charge (Joe Mercer was caretaker boss until Revie). Got a load of autographs after the game and remember Shilton driving off in a knackered old blue VW Beetle; in contrast to the blinged-up supercars that are standard issue these days.
Live I think the best game was the play off semi final against Watford when we won 4-1. The atmosphere was unbelievable that night. When we went in front on the night, I had so much adrenaline going round my system, I felt sick.
The game when we beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates I watched on TV and that was amazing. All of a sudden, we were living the dream. Then I recall a game in our second Premier League season when we beat Man City 2-1 and totally outplayed them.
The best match I've witnessed in terms of absolute football brilliance was Liverpool v Notts Forest at Anfield 1988. Liverpool won 5-0. I remember Brian Clough actually applauding the Liverpool team as they went off. John Barnes always says it was the best game he'd ever played in too. Think I've got it on VHS somewhere, have to dig it out.
John Motson, who was commentating on the game, described it as "almost fantasy football". Liverpool's performance was described by former England international Tom Finney as "the finest exhibition of attacking football ever seen"., while former European Footballer of the Year Michel Platini said Liverpool resembled "a continental team, not an English one". In his 1999 autobiography, John Barnes said it was "the best Liverpool performance he ever played in.
August 2008, Scottish League Cup - Hibernian v Morton. Morton are my team and it's always exciting playing an SPL team away from home in a Cup game. We went into the game not expecting much so it was a surprise when we went in at half time 1-0 up.
About 65 minutes in we went 2-0 up after a brilliant 25 yard free kick. Could the impossible happen? The clock ticks down to 80 minutes and Hibs pull one back, and then with four minutes to go they make it 2-2.
Into extra time we go and in the first minute Hibs score again to make it 3-2, and the HIbs fans start singing "2-0 and you f*cked it up".
Half time in extra time and the score is 3-2, and it looks like the Hibs players are starting to slow a bit, thinking the game is in the bag. With six minutes left of extra time we win a penalty after a hand ball, which is scored to make it 3-3, and with two minutes to go - the impossible does happen. A free kick out wide is driven in right on top of the Hibs keeper, he catches it, spills it and a Morton player is on hand to tap the ball into the empty net. Bedlam in the away end and choruses of "3-2 and you f*cked it up" ring around Easter Road. The final whistle goes with the score Hibernian 3 Morton 4. The best football match I have ever been to and it will take something extra extra special to beat it. It makes being a fan of a small team worth while!
I wasn't there this year but was following it live from my city, we finished 13th after a too bad season, but won the national cup after 73 years (we won the first in 1939). It was so emotive, we welcomed the team home as if they had been world champions.
Easy one this - I was lucky to get a ticket about two days before the September 2009 Manchester Derby (I had applied in the ballot but not been succesful but picked one up on the official ticket exchange after luckily being online at the right time to buy it). Absolutely incredible game of football where I thought we had blown it when City equalised in stoppage time to make it 3-3. I just slumped into my seat at that point but two minutes later was hugging strangers next to me when Michael Owen scored the winner. Brilliant finish, brilliant atmosphere and the last derby game I went to.
I'm too partisan to evaluate good games involving Utd, although the 3-3 with Barca in 1998 and a 3-2 victory over Juve a couple of years earlier would be up there.
Which leaves games that I've been to as a neutral, of which there are very few - a few League Cup finals, a Bury game and a couple of Swindon games.
...Of which, I would nominate the 1993 playoff final between Swindon + Leicester. Glenn Hoddle was player manager of Swindon at the time, and scored a good first goal, paying for my ticket as I had him for first goalscorer at 25-1 (my only ever winning bet). Swindon got two more in the second half, immediately followed by 3 Leicester goals, leaving it 3-3 with 20 minutes to go. The match was then won by a penalty in the last 5 minutes, sending Swindon to one of the worst Premier League season performances ever, and Hoddle to Chelsea.

Comcast Bids $30B for Sky TV in UK, Threatening Murdoch Bid
Just moments after Comcast placed its bid, Sky said it is withdrawing its recommendation to shareholders to accept 21st Century Fox's bid
Published Apr 25, 2018 at 4:20 AM | Updated at 4:22 AM PDT on Apr 25, 2018
Leon Neal/Getty Images, File
This May 9, 2017, file photo shows the Sky News studios at the Sky headquarters in Isleworth, London. U.S. media giant Comcast made $30 billion bid for Sky on Wednesday, April 25, 2018, topping a rival bid by Rupert Murdoch's Fox.
U.S. media conglomerate Comcast has made a 22 billion pound ($30 billion) bid for London-based pay TV operator Sky in a move that threatens a rival bid by Rupert Murdoch.
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said his company's cash offer, made Wednesday, values each Sky share at 12.50 pounds, above the 21st Century Fox offer of 10.75 pounds.
21st Century Fox issued a statement saying it remains committed to its offer and is "currently considering its options."
21st Century Fox has offered to insulate Sky's news operations from the influence of Murdoch and his family, who already own several other media titles in the U.K., to win approval of its bid.
Comcast committed to maintain funding for 10 years for Sky News.
Just moments after Comcast placed its bid, Sky said it is withdrawing its recommendation to shareholders to accept 21st Century Fox's bid.
Comcast is the parent company of NBCUniversal, which owns this TV station.

Russia's Top Search Engine Yandex Launches Elvish Translation Service
The largest Russian search engine Yandex can now translate to and from Sindarin, a fictional language spoken by Elves in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series.
Those who watched the Lord of the Rings series remember hearing Elves talk to each other in their own language. Fortunately we had subtitles underneath to understand what the Elves were talking about.
Now with the help of Yandex one can learn to understand Elvish. The Russian internet company that operates the most popular search engine in the Russian-speaking world launched the translation function from Elvish to mark Tolkien's birthday.
© YANDEX
Russia's Yandex Launches New-Look Challenger to Google's Chrome Browser
Sindarin is written in Tengwar, an ancient Elvish alphabet. Tolkien, apparently, based some of the grammar and phonetics of Sindarin on Welsh and other Celtic dialects. The fictional language was also influenced by Old English and Old Norse, spoken by inhabitants of present-day Scandinavia more than 1,000-years ago.
Yandex launched its translating service in full beta-version in June of 2012. At that time the service only had three available languages — English, Russian and Ukrainian. Since then, Yandex expanded its translating service to 66 different languages.
What's next? Should we expect Yandex to include Troll and Orc grunts any time soon?

The administration and staff of the Perris Union High School District, believe that if a student is absent from class, the educational experience lost during the absence is irretrievable as the interaction in the classroom setting can seldom be duplicate through make-up work. The maximum number of allowable absences for students is based on a certain number of days per semester. The maximum number of absences per semester shall be twelve (12) unexcused days. Students absent for more than the allowable number of absences in a semester will receive no grade and loss of credit for that class.
A student, who accumulates absences because of a legitimate medical reason, a special religious holy day, or a personal family tragedy, may be eligible for a waiver. A waiver request must be submitted in writing to the site administrator and the applicant must have appropriate documentation in support of the waiver. A waiver request will be reviewed and approved by the administrator in charge of attendance. A waiver request must be submitted within 20 days of the absence. A medical doctor must verify legitimate medical reasons.
School-related activities, with prior approval from administration, will be excluded from the number of allowable absences.
A student suffering serious illness or injury may be eligible for home/hospital teaching or an independent study contract if deemed appropriate by the administrator in charge of attendance.
Students absent from class due to school-related business are considered in attendance.
Students participating in religious instruction or exercises are excused if they attend minimum day not to exceed more than four days a year.
A student who has twelve (12) days of unexcused absence in any class in a semester may receive no grade and lose credit for the class although he/she may remain in the class for enrichment purposes, may be dropped from the class and/or be referred by the school's Student Study Team for alternative placement. Parents will be notified of absences on a timely basis.
ATTENDANCE RESPONSIBILITIES (Education Code Section 48200) — PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PUNCTUAL AND REGULAR ATTENDANCE OF THEIR CHILDREN.
Illness, death, or funerals in the immediate family and medical/dental appointments are the only excusable reasons for absence. It is recommended that dental and medical appointments be made for non-school hours. Because of the need to interpret California School Attendance laws, the school determines whether the absence was excused or not. Excessive tardiness and/or unexcused absences may lead to loss of credits, removal from class, or referral to the Student Attendance Review Team (SART). If the problem persists, the student will be referred to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB), and/or be placed in an alternative education program.
Parents must call the school at (951) 672-6030 ext. 22125 or 22126 during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) the first day the student is absent.
Excused — Absence for illness, funeral or death of any immediate family member, medical/dental appointments (verification required), and court (verification required).
Unexcused — Absences that don't qualify according to State Education Code Section 48200. Students may not make up missed schoolwork.
Truant — Absences that are not cleared by parents. Student may not make up schoolwork.
THERE ARE NO SCHOOL-SANCTIONED "DITCH DAYS".
Students are expected to complete all work assigned in each class. When a student has an excused absence, he/she will be given one day for each day of absence to make up class work. Homework may be requested for absences of three (3) or more days. Please contact the Counseling Office. Please allow at least 24 hours for teachers to respond with information regarding your request. Some teachers may require make-up work upon a student's return to school. Teachers are not required to provide homework or make-up activities to those students who have been suspended as the absences during a suspension are not excused absences.
Messages and deliveries for students will only be distributed between classes. Classroom interruptions jeopardize student learning. All messages and deliveries must be a valid emergency. Please note that items such as flowers, balloons and gifts will not be accepted for delivery to students by the PVHS staff.
It is the student's responsibility to obtain a signed pass when he/she is out of class for any reason. Passes require students name, time, destination, date, and teacher's signature. This includes all students, regardless of status or schedule. Unscheduled visits to classes will not be tolerated. The School Resource Officer will issue a truancy citation to any student caught out of class without a legitimate pass from his/her teacher.
Students leaving campus prior to the end of their regular school day must be signed out in person with the Attendance Office staff by a parent/guardian, or an emergency contact designee. The person signing out the student must have a picture I.D. Student drivers must present their driver's license, along with a note from a parent/guardian indicating the time and reason the student is to be released.
Any student who leaves the campus without being properly signed out, will be marked truant. Attendance staff will not check a student out of school after 2:00p.m.
Students need re-admits to clear their absences they may obtain these before school, during nutrition, and during lunch. The Attendance Office will not issue re-admits during class unless a parent accompanies the student.
When clearing absences, please note that only a parent or guardian can clear an absence.
Board Policy states that a student has 72 hours in which to clear an absence in order to make up any missing assignments.
Clearing absences is the responsibility of the parent and student. Failure to clear absences in a timely manner could affect a student's grades.
Whenever a student leaves school grounds during the day with or without permission, or with permission during the lunch period, the parent or guardian of such pupil is notified that neither the District nor any officer or employee of the District shall be liable for the conduct or safety of any pupil during such time as the student has left the school grounds(Ed. Code Section 49808.5).


When it comes to starting out with anything, practice makes perfect. And with practice comes trial and error.
A wise person once said, "You must learn from your mistakes." But, lucky for you, we have put together a list of eight common beginner painting mishaps — so you can learn what not to do, without actually having to find out the hard way.
Also known as not setting up your palette the same way every time. This can lead you down a path of color chaos.
Constantly looking at your palette for a specific color, or accidentally dipping your brush in the wrong color can put a damper on your painting progress. Laying out your palette consistently allows you to work faster and focus on your painting, not the paint.
Also known as mixing too many colors in one. To avoid muddy hues, try sticking to only two or three colors. And, don't over mix your pigments. As soon as you see the color you want, stop mixing.
Also known as painting too far away from the subject of a still life. Make sure you are no more than two or three yards away from your subject when painting a still life. Likewise, if you're right-handed, place your still life on your left, so your arm doesn't block your view (and vice versa for left-handers).
4. It's getting hot in here.
Also known as storing art materials in a warm area. When it comes to storage, keep completed work, works in progress and your materials in a cool, dry area away from light. It is also advisable to store your work in a relatively dust-free space. Particles can stick to wet paint and ruin the texture of your surface.
Also known as neglecting to add a focal point. Many beginning painters tend to think too much about accuracy and not enough about the alluring, more dynamic qualities of their art. Use a viewfinder, if you are overwhelmed by the scene in front of you. And, make sure to determine what your focal point is before starting your next art piece.
6. Do you think that paint grows on trees?
Also known as wasting paint. You can find ways to save your materials for practically any medium. Oil painting palettes, for example, can be stored in the freezer, which extends their longevity.
For watercolors, try a palette with a lid. When the unused paint on the palette dries, it can be packed away easily and safely. When you're ready to paint again, just add water.
7. Forgetting about prime time.
Also known as not priming a canvas. Working on an unprimed canvas is certainly doable, but nothing prevents the paint from soaking through the surface and deteriorating the canvas.
Primed canvas allows artists to skip the process of mixing and applying the sizing and ground, which many beginning artists prefer. However, unprimed canvas is less expensive. And, frequent painters find it beneficial to learn how to apply their own priming, because it cuts costs and enables them to create a texture specific to their painting needs.
8. Don't be a stranger!
Also known as forgetting about freebies and reaching out. Art supply manufacturers want your business. And, as a result, tons of manufacturers will offer free test sizes of materials online and even at some stores. Don't be afraid to reach out to art companies directly for additional information. They love hearing from artists.
If the above tips just weren't enough, or if you are hungry for more beginner painting instruction, check out this quick video tutorial below. All you need for beginner paintings are these three crucial things: the surface you use, the brush you choose and your palette. Start here!
And, be sure to check out The Absolute Beginner's Big Book of Drawing and Painting to build your confidence in both drawing and painting with more than 100 easy-to-follow lessons in pencil, watercolor and oil. Onward, artists!

The Belgrade Theatre showcased some of the region's up and coming writing talent in The New Black Showcase, which featured readings of scenes from new plays written by some of the region's newest voices, and ran in B2 from 14 to 17 October 2009.
The writers that featured in The New Black Showcase had all graduated from the Critical Mass programme, a script writing course for Black and Minority Ethnic communities run by the Belgrade Theatre, based on an initiative run in association with The Drum, Birmingham, Britain's only black arts centre, and the Royal Court Theatre in London, the country's leading new writing venue.
This was the participants' first opportunity to see excerpts of plays they were working on performed in front of a live audience by a company of professional actors.
On every date during the run there was a workshop production of Monster Fit For a King – Lola Johnson.


We are delighted to remind you that the annual village fete takes place next Saturday 11th June, in its now traditional setting on Church End Green and down Flint Street.
This wonderful slice of village life draws together lots of local organisations to offer stalls and fund-raising attractions, as well as information about the various voluntary groups that help to make Haddenham the friendly and supportive place we know and love.
There's also a group of Open Gardens to enjoy, as well as tempting cakes and refreshments in St Mary's Centre.
And don't forget the display of vintage and classic cars to reminisce over, outside the Tythe Barn at Manor Farm — for more details on this, see here.
Although not part of the village fete as such, watch out for the Annual Wheelbarrow Race, which will be getting underway from the Sports & Social Club pavilion at 4.00pm on the same afternoon and will see hard-working fancy-dressed barrow-pushers panting their way from pub to pub through the village, with a human passenger seated in their luxury vehicle of choice! Fete goers will most likely encounter these brave(?) souls as they emerge from Skittles Green and travel down past the Egg House Butchers Shop, towards the Rose and Thistle, then on to the Green Dragon and up Churchway and Willis Road towards the finish line back at the Recreation Ground. More details here.
On the Sunday immediately following the fete (12th June) there will be a village picnic on Church End Green, with a BBQ will be provided by Ricky Jeffrey (from Egg House butchers) on a first come first served basis from 12.30pm, paid for from some of the proceeds from the village fete. All welcome — bring a blanket, your family and friends and enjoy the al fresco delights of a community picnic. More details here.

Q: Building custom mp3 player for website - can't figure out how to write play last song, play next song functions I am building an mp3 player on my site, ustreet.com, that can be controlled by custom buttons that I have put in my HTML.
Here is a picture of what it looks like:

JSript has built-in audio object controls for playing and pausing, and I've figured those out, as you can see:

                    <audio id="music" src = "LetsDance.mp3" type = "audio/mp3"></audio>

                    ►►
                    ►
                    ll
                    ►►

I have an array of mp3 file source names also:
 mp3sources = ["a.mp3","b.mp3","c.mp3","d.mp3"];

I am trying to figure out how to write a function that syncs the audio object being called by these buttons with this array. When the site is first loaded, the play button will cue the first string in mp3sources. Clicking the next button will cue the next song in the list to play, and clicking the last song will cue the previous song from the array. Please help me write this function - I'm not too good at JScript. I am better at PHP.

A: This is fully working code (for compatibility with old browsers you can use some flash fallback):
HTML:

    <audio id="music"></audio>
    ◄◄
    ►
    ll

    ►►

JS:
function run() {
    var i = 0; // current song index
    var songList = [
        'a.mp3',
        'b.mp3',
        'c.mp3',
        'd.mp3'];

    var audiocontainer = document.getElementById('mp3Player');
    var ae = document.getElementById('music');
    ae.src = songList[0];
    var infoDiv = document.getElementById('info');
    var btnLast = document.getElementById('last');
    var btnPlay = document.getElementById('play');
    var btnPause = document.getElementById('pause');
    var btnNext = document.getElementById('next');

    //add event handlers
    ae.onplay = function () {
        infoDiv.innerHTML = 'Now playing #' + (i + 1) + ' ' + songList[i];
    };
    ae.onended = function () {
        next();
    };
    btnPlay.onclick = function () {
        //if (ae.paused)
        ae.play();
        //else ae.pause();
    };
    btnPause.onclick = function () {
        ae.pause();
    };
    btnLast.onclick = previous;
    btnNext.onclick = next;
    //ae.play(); //to start playing automatically when when page is loaded

    function previous() {
        i = (i > 0) ? i - 1 : songList.length - 1; // choose previous index
        ae.setAttribute("src", songList[i]);
        ae.play();
    }

    function next() {
        i = (i < songList.length - 1) ? i + 1 : 0; // choose next index
        ae.setAttribute("src", songList[i]);
        ae.play();
    }
}

Q: Wildfly 10 periodic log rotation I am using Wildfly 10 (JBOSS) server. This is the my log rotation configuration in my server environment.
<periodic-rotating-file-handler name="FILE" autoflush="true">
    <formatter>
      <named-formatter name="PATTERN"/>
    </formatter>
    <file relative-to="jboss.server.log.dir" path="server.log"/>
    <suffix value=".yyyy-MM-dd"/>
    <append value="true"/>
</periodic-rotating-file-handler>

A log file (server.log.2018-mm-dd) is getting created daily with the above configuration. but the size of this file is very huge around 1.5 to 2gb. so i want to get a tar file created instead of direct file. what to add in the above configuration to get a zipped file created ?

A: That functionality isn't available in WildFly 10 by default unfortunately. You could replace the org.jboss.logmanager module with 2.1.2.Final which contains an enhancement for this.
The only other option would be to add a cronjob or something similar to execute when the log is rotated.

Razer's new gaming chair will make you want to never move; has screen, vibration and more – Latest News, Breaking News, Top News Headlines
by Cvbj January 13, 2021, 2:41 pm
Editorial: Gaming / Facebook / Twitter / YouTube / Instagram / News / Discord / Forums
CES 2021 is taking place and there are a lot of great products being shown. The most exciting are prototypes or product concepts that may never go on sale. One that caught our attention is a new Razer gaming chair that includes a drop-down screen.
At CES 2021, Razer announced Project Brooklyn, a product it describes as its vision for next-generation gaming chairs. It is an avant-garde chair built with carbon fiber and RGB lighting.
In case you missed it: What is a Sneakerhead and why could Reebok x Tom & Jerry make one for you?
While aesthetics are important, the reality is that Project Brooklyn wants to be more than just a cool chair. The thing is, it wants to take immersion to another level by having a 60 "drop-down screen, tactile feedback in the seat, and a surrounnd sound system to make you feel right into the action.
"Project Brooklyn is an exciting concept developed in the true essence of a fully immersive gaming station," said Min-Liang Tan, Razer CEO. "Haptic feedback, visuals, and overall functional design with attention to ergonomics will deliver a unique gaming experience."
A chair that also seeks to be comfortable and customizable
This all sounds great, right? However, it would mean little if it was uncomfortable and you never wanted to sit on it. Razer knows this very well and this is why they are made so you can spend hours on it.
According to Razer, Project Brooklyn is inspired by its Razer Iskur chair, introduced in October 2022. This means that it features high-density cushions that support the body shape of the person sitting. In addition, it has a leather covered backrest that is built on a robust carbon fiber body to help you maintain a perfect posture.

We also have the fact that the armrests are modular and hide folding tables. This means that you can choose what you need to have in front of you. Do you want a table to put your keyboard? You can have it. Do you prefer freedom? Remove it without problems.
It is worth mentioning that Project Brooklyn will evolve over time and with community feedback. Thus, it is possible that its commercial version is somewhat different, if it ever exists.
And to you, what did you think of this product? If Project Brooklyn became a reality, would you buy it? Tell us in the comments.
