In our humble estimation, Washington state provides a delicious foil against the high price of top quality claret or claret-inspired wines from elsewhere, and with the added advantage of own-rooted vines. It may also be observed that most wherever one can successfully grow high-quality apples, one can also successfully grow fine wine grapes.

Q: JQuery AJAX fadeIn content
Possible Duplicate:
Making my ajax updated div fade in

I want the content from AJAX call to fadeIn on my page, but when I use this code $('#sub_container').html(content).fadeIn(); it doesn't work, even if I set the animation speed to super slow (slow(5000))
$('.create').click(function(){
    loadingimg();
    document.title = 'Create Message';
    $.ajax({
        url: 'create.php',
        dataType: 'html',
        success: function(content){
            $('#sub_container').html(content);
            // $('#sub_container').html(content).fadeIn(); <- Fails
        }
    });
});

A: The .fadeIn() function essentially makes the element visible, so will appear to do nothing if the element is already visible. You can ensure that's not the case by hiding the element:
$('#sub_container').hide().html(content).fadeIn();

A: You need to make sure it's hidden to begin with, for example:
$('.create').click(function(){
$('#sub_container').fadeOut();    // fade out the current content
loadingimg();
document.title = 'Create Message';
$.ajax({
    url: 'create.php',
    dataType: 'html',
    success: function(content){
        $('#sub_container').html(content).stop().fadeIn();    // fade in the new content
    }
});
});

But that can get you jumping content as the element disappears so you have to account for that if necessary.

Britain's 5G Lesson: Choose or Choice Will Be Made for You
Delay in Decision-Making Left Government With Little Room to Maneuver Mathew J. Schwartz (euroinfosec) • February 5, 2020
British leaders' failure to more quickly choose and pursue a specific path for the nation's 5G rollout meant that ultimately, the decision got made for them.
See Also: Live Webinar | OT Cybersecurity Strategies for Executives
"The government seems to have been caught between a rock and a hard place," says Greig Paul, the lead mobile networks and security engineer at University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.
"Had the U.K. banned Huawei in 2018 like the U.S. and Australia, the mobile operators' 5G rollout plans would have been at an earlier stage."
"To some extent, this is the consequences of deciding too slowly," he says in a blog post. "Had the U.K. banned Huawei in 2018 like the U.S. and Australia, the mobile operators' 5G rollout plans would have been at an earlier stage. The U.S. also compensated some of its networks for the costs of equipment removal."
The so-called Huawei question is whether Chinese manufacturers can be trusted or if their technology might be used by the Chinese government to spy via other nations' networks. Other risks include essential equipment updates and security fixes getting held hostage by Beijing as part of trade disputes, as well as what many security experts say is a shoddy level of engineering in Huawei's products. In a worst-case scenario, adversaries might be able to exploit those flaws to crash parts of a nation's 5G infrastructure.
But Huawei is also the world's largest manufacturer of low-cost telecommunications equipment, thanks to its receiving substantial investment from the Chinese government. If the U.K. had completely banned the use of Huawei equipment, it would have left itself with only two other options - Finland's Nokia, which is the next cheapest option, followed by Sweden's Ericsson. Scant market competition would likely have driven up prices.
UK Allows 'Limited' Huawei
For now, Huawei will continue to be a part of the U.K.'s 5G rollout. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced last week that his government will allow "limited" use of equipment from China's Huawei for the nation's emerging 5G networks.
The controversial decision arrived after the previous prime minister, Theresa May, commissioned a telecommunications supply chain review in 2018, which was delivered in July 2019. But a formal decision didn't follow until more than six months later.
Politically and economically speaking, British leaders' inaction left little room for maneuvering. Johnson risked angering China by banning Huawei. But he risked angering the U.S., which has banned Huawei, if he allowed the widespread use of its equipment. With Britain now having exited the EU and future trade deals in the balance, Johnson cannot afford to alienate neither nation (see: 5G Security in the Balance as Britain Navigates Brexit).
Johnson's decision follows advice from the U.K. government's National Cyber Security Center, which recommended capping at 35 percent the amount of Huawei gear that each of the country's four largest mobile network providers can use as part of their non-core 5G infrastructure.
Not having to replace all of their existing Huawei equipment was a win for service providers, because they could piggyback onto existing Huawei 4G base stations, which is easier and cheaper, Paul says. Vodafone had warned that ripping and replacing all Huawei gear would have led to a delay of two years or more and cost hundreds of millions of pounds. The British government doesn't appear to have wanted to foot that bill (see: BT and Vodafone Reportedly Want Huawei 5G Gear).
UK Seeks Alternatives
The government already signaled that it will attempt to reduce the 35 percent Huawei cap and try to further squeeze it out of British networks by finding new alternatives.
Nicky Morgan, the government's culture secretary, told the House of Lords on Jan. 28 that the government is pursuing a three-prong strategy to increase the diversity of its 5G supply chain, including "attracting established vendors who are not currently present in the U.K.," as well as "supporting the emergence of new, disruptive entrants to the supply chain" and pushing for open standards that will allow gear from more manufactures to work together.
"On established vendors, she may be referring to companies that make radio network equipment but don't compete aggressively in this space: Samsung, for example," the University of Strathclyde's Paul says. "As for new entrants, there may be a hope of enticing players who supply different types of networks, such as Cisco or Juniper."
The U.S. Congress and the White House are also looking for ways to bring established and new players to the 5G market. A bipartisan group of senators, for example, has proposed a $1 billion fund to drive alternatives (see: Senators Field Legislation to Build Huawei 5G Alternatives).
Larry Kudlow, an economic adviser to the White House, this week outlined a plan to get the technology sector to agree on common standards, so that 5G software could be run on commodity devices, thus potentially reducing the reliance on Huawei equipment. He says Microsoft, Dell and AT&T are part of the effort. "The big-picture concept is to have all of the U.S. 5G architecture and infrastructure done by American firms, principally," Kudlow tells the Wall Street Journal. "That also could include Nokia and Ericsson because they have big U.S. presences."
New Alternatives: Years Away
None of these activities will lead to alternatives appearing overnight. When they do, newer entrants may also have a tough time competing in what is an extremely cost-competitive market.
"From a technical perspective, it is likely it would take three-plus years for a totally new entrant, building from scratch without buying in external intellectual property, to have a market-ready product," Paul tells me. "It would then take a further year or more to 'compatibility test' the solution with existing network infrastructure. So from a tech perspective, I reckon four to five years would be good going."
Another challenge would be manufacturing costs, especially if western governments pushed for domestic manufacturing. Today, Huawei, Nokia and Ericsson all build their 5G gear in China. "Location of manufacturing would also be another concern, and as is widely known from other sectors, it's nigh-on impossible to compete on cost with China for manufacturing costs," Paul says.
5 Years to Comply With UK Restrictions
Britsh telecom firm BT estimates that it will take five years and $652 million to reduce its use of Huawei's radios and associated equipment to the U.K. government's 35 percent cap. The same goes for Vodafone. CEO Nick Read on Wednesday told reporters that Vodafone will apply the U.K. approach to its entire European operations and cap its use of Huawei equipment.
"We have now decided as a result of the EU toolbox and the U.K. government's decision to take out Huawei from the core," he said, Reuters reports.
Last week, building on ongoing efforts, Brussels released that 5G toolbox, although it's up to EU member states to choose what, if anything, they will do. German Chancellor Angela Markel, for one, says her government's decision won't be made until after an EU meeting about 5G scheduled for next month.
How nations go about securing 5G - and whether restricting suppliers will be part of their strategy - remains to be seen. But by the time other European governments finally codify their approach to telecommunications supply chains and procurement, will the choice, in effect, already have been made for them too?

The HIV accessory protein Nef counteracts immune defenses by subverting coated vesicle pathways. The 3.7 Å cryo-EM structure of a closed trimer of the clathrin adaptor AP-1, the small GTPase Arf1, HIV-1 Nef, and the cytosolic tail of the restriction factor tetherin suggested a mechanism for inactivating tetherin by Golgi retention. The 4.3 Å structure of a mutant Nef-induced dimer of AP-1 showed how the closed trimer is regulated by the dileucine loop of Nef. HDX-MS and mutational analysis were used to show how cargo dynamics leads to alternative Arf1 trimerization, directing Nef targets to be either retained at the trans-Golgi or sorted to lysosomes. Phosphorylation of the NL4-3 M-Nef was shown to regulate AP-1 trimerization, explaining how O-Nefs lacking this phosphosite counteract tetherin but most M-Nefs do not. These observations show how the higher-order organization of a vesicular coat can be allosterically modulated to direct cargoes to distinct fates.

MEXICO CITY – Boarding the Mexico City Metro once meant squeezing in with dozens of vendors hawking everything from anti-bacterial gel and Jolly Ranchers to a global CD selection. They hawked their wares with painfully loud speakers carried on their backs, sometimes alongside bizarre "street" performances: Shirtless, homeless men being walked on as they lay on a bed of broken glass; off-key singers so bad they ought to have been paid to stop.
It wasn't a subway ride. It was an adventure.
Now the system that ranks among the world's 10 largest, carrying more than 1.6 billion riders a year, is downright civilized by comparison since authorities started cracking down on the side show that was the Metro. Authorities of the Collective Transportation System started in December kicking vendors off some cars. As of Wednesday they were banned on all 12 lines and 162 stations.
"It's the way it's supposed to be," said Jaime Lemus, a rider from Mexico City. "It was horrible, people coming in and bothering people."
In response, several thousand informal vendors — no one has an exact count — have taken their loudspeakers to the streets and to city hall, marching to complain that the Mexico City government is removing their livelihood without providing an alternative. Some marched in balaclavas Wednesday, though it wasn't clear why they hid their identities.
The city has offered them 2,098-peso monthly stipends (nearly $160), requiring that they take employment retraining classes in a variety fields, from hotel work to massage therapy.
Vendors say it's not a real offer. Most are not interested in changing careers, and can make more than three times the stipend in a month. So far, more than 2,000 have registered to receive the stipends, but only 967 have enrolled in classes, according to the city's Secretary for Economic Development.
The city also has offered those kicked off the Metro alternative spots to sell legally.
"They're offering us locations where there are no people, places other merchants have abandoned because there are no people," said Juan Jose Hernandez Diaz, who has been selling on the Metro for 25 years. "We can't live on 500 pesos a week. I have a daughter in high school. Her expenses are 100 pesos a day."
Vendors have always been banned from selling in the subway. But in a quintessential combination that makes Mexico City, people who need jobs create their own, and authorities unevenly enforce the laws. It boils down to an economic struggle seen in many venues as recent administrations have tried to tame the chaotic city, home to 8 million residents but some 20 million in the greater metropolitan area.
Because the majority of Mexicans work in the informal economy, cleaning up public areas inevitably puts some out of work.
But authorities insist that selling on the subway is inappropriate.
"The Metro is a means of transport, not a place for selling," said one transit official who wasn't authorized to speak by name about the confrontation.
He pointed to recent polls commissioned by the transit authority in which riders list the vendors as one of their top three annoyances in using the system. The polls were taken around a controversial fare hike from 3 to 5 pesos, (from about 22 to 38 cents,) which took effect in December. Officials promised the additional money would provide more trains, faster service and better security, including kicking out the vendors. Since the fare hike, the transit system not only had a full-on confrontation with vendors, last week it had to close about half the stations on its newest Line 12 because of design flaws.
The city has added at hundreds of new auxiliary police to patrol the platforms and cars. Vendors caught selling have their wares confiscated and even face short-term detention in what the city uses as a drunk tank.
Vendor Rodolfo Aguilera says he wants the government to pool the money it would give in stipends to create permanent stands near the platforms. The city counters that vendors need the capacitation classes to run the stands.
So far, there is no way out of the stalemate.
The vendors continue selling quietly, walking every car, hawking Super Glue, screwdriver kits, "The Art of Forgiveness" books that will "change your life." Now, they hide their wares in giant bags and don't begin calling out until the doors shut, so they aren't detected by police.
Even the vendors acknowledge their loud speakers were really annoying.
"It's much better," said Hernandez, who abandoned his speaker three months ago.
It's the only thing the vendors and the city agree on.

Perth life suits Rove's family

Camera IconRove McManus and Tasma Walton. Credit: Getty Images
T *asma Walton * says it makes sense to have temporarily moved to *Perth * with baby daughter *Ruby * and husband *Rove McManus *.
The trio came back to *WA * from Los Angeles after Ruby was born last December in Sydney and McManus began a stint co-hosting The Project.
Walton told Who magazine that having the support of both their families in Perth was "priceless" while the funnyman commuted to Melbourne each week to shoot the nightly panel show.
"They say it takes a village to raise a child and I think that's absolutely true," the 41-year-old said.
"My family and Rove's family are based in Perth, so it made absolute sense while Ruby is still young and learning about her world that she also gets to know her family members. And they lend a hand, which is priceless."
While Walton shot a guest role on Home and Away last year and is appearing on an upcoming episode of It's a Date, motherhood now comes first for the actress. She said being with 10-month-old Ruby was her top priority.
"When you have a small child, every day is (about) evaluating their needs and trying to fulfil them, so I'm not projecting too far into the future and I'm not missing much about the past," Walton said.
"I'm just focusing on what is happening right now."
Walton said she and McManus, above, had already taken their daughter to the US and would not rule out living there in the future.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The 60th annual Hero Thrill Show is taking place in South Philadelphia, and proceeds are going to benefit the families of fallen police and fire firefighters.
This year's grand marshal is boxing champ Bernard Hopkins, who is blown away by tens of thousands of people who showed up and honored to be a part of the event.
"To be here to support the Philadelphia fire department and all the law enforcement out of Philadelphia, it's a pleasure for me," he said.

More than 800 survivors have benefited from funds raised by the hero thrill show over the years. More than $2-million in scholarship money has been raised since 2006.


Our family goes through a lot of bananas. In fact, my 18-month-old gets pretty cranky if she doesn't get her daily fix of "nana". I actually have to be intentional about letting bananas turn brown for this recipe otherwise they would disappear.
Muffins can be finicky, but these almost always turn out amazing. Just ask my husband. These are his favorite muffins of all time. The secret to a good banana muffin is to make sure your bananas are ripe (turning brown) and also to make sure you mash them up REALLY well to a soup like consistency. Enjoy the recipe!
Step 2: Mash bananas really well and stir in melted butter.
Step 3: Mix in sugar, egg and vanilla.
Step 4: Mix in baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
Step 5: Add flour and mix until just combined. Fold in walnuts.
Step 6: Pour batter into muffin tin and bake for 18-20.
Mash bananas really well and stir in melted butter.
Pour batter into muffin tin and bake for 18-20.

How full do I fill the muffin tin?
I fill mine about 2/3 of the way full.

Alternative approach to the analysis of the process of oxidation of metallic impurities and steel surfaces in heavy liquid metal (lead, lead-bismuth) melts is presented. Development of models of the interaction of impurities with the main components of heavy liquid metal melts and with each other as well as the model for simulation of oxidation of structural steels by oxygen dissolved in the melt is a vitally important task solution of which will allow performing the justifiable selection of optimal operating conditions for structural steels in nuclear power plants operated with heavy liquid metal coolants.
It is demonstrated in the present paper that composition and stability of iron-based oxide system in heavy liquid metal melts are determined by the temperature and partial pressure of oxygen in the ambient environment. When any of these parameters changes the oxide phase the composition changes with increasing or decreasing oxygen concentration.
It was suggested to examine transfer of components of steel through the oxide film as the physical model of oxidation of steel, i.e. as the movement of cations forced by electric field the strength of which corresponds to the difference between the electrochemical potentials of the oxide systems under study. In this case the steel matrix acts as the anode, the oxide film is a solid electrolyte, and the moving coolant containing oxygen acts as the cathode. Such analysis allows binding the transition from external conditions of oxidation of steels to internal conditions within the whole comprehensive picture.

Understanding Time in Taphonomy investigates time as it affects taphonomy. All taphonomic agents operate through time, which may be long or short, so time adds another dimension to taphonomic change. The processes and modifications recorded in fossils can tell us how long the fossils took to accumulate and the geological/biological/ environmental context in which they fossilized.
Measuring time in taphonomy requires long-term studies of taphonomic processes operating at the present time. In 1976, one of the authors (PA) started a 30-year monitoring project of animals that died natural deaths at Neuadd in Wales. The study area of 680ha of upland heathland, woodland and rough grazing were monitored. Over 100 sheep, horses, foxes, badgers, rabbits and small mammals were monitored, but only 56 yielded useful results. YFJ has also begun a similar study at Riofrio in Spain, and other long-term studies are reviewed.
This 30-year study highlighted several time-specific taphonomic issues. Trampling of Neuadd specimens produced pitting and superficial scratching found commonly on fossils. Longer striations mimicking cut marks are common, particularly on bones in rocky substrates. The number and morphology of these pseudo-cut-marks are compared with cut marks made during human butchery. There is only a weak relationship with exposure time.
The extreme effects of water and wind at Neuadd quickly dispersed body parts. Modifications similar to trampling and butchery were produced in running water. In still water, three modification stages are identified: Stage 1, which is 3-5 years with broad flaking; stage 2, 10-12 years with extreme flaking and loss of surface bone; and stage 3, >18 years with deep tissue loss.
Weathering at Neuadd has a time-scale that is different from the one established for tropical environments: At 0-5 years, 92% of bones are unweathered, with 8% at stage 1; at 6 to 10 years, 73% of bones are unweathered, with 27% at stage 1; at 15 to 25 years, 17% of bones are unweathered, with 63% at stage 1 and 20% of bones at stage 2; at 30 to 35 years, only one skull survived, and it is at stage 1 weathering.
Monitoring of buried bones at Neuadd shows three time-scales of modifications resulting from soil corrosion: Progressive corrosion under dense vegetation cover with high humidity from 2 to 23 years; increasing root marks from 2 to 23 years; and corrosion from the action of lower plants such as moss and algae in 3 to 11 years.
The extent and sizes of carnivore and herbivore chewing marks was found to have no usable timescale. Dispersal of bones is slow at Neuadd and is related strongly both to the nature of the environment and to the size of the animals. Three timescales have been identified: Dispersal over 15 years is greatest for large animals in open environments, lower for medium sized animals like sheep, and the least for small and medium size animals in dense vegetation.
Future monitoring projects could use electronic marking chips on single specimens, camera traps, GPS, the Global Weathering Project, radioactive markers on bones, and aerial mapping, backed up with experimental work in controlled conditions.

LIFE BEHIND THE LENS
How Grace Victory's 'Jeremy Kyle childhood' gave her the hunger to become a YouTube star (accidentally flashing her pants at Harry Potter along the way)
The 27-year-old vlogger from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, has experienced domestic abuse, sexual assault and eating disorders
Sarah Barns
Updated: 12 Oct 2017, 9:11
GRACE Victory has been hailed the "internet's big sister" by her millions of YouTube fans thanks to her ability to tackle hard-hitting, taboo issues head on.
But the 27-year-old vlogger's honest approach to everything from coping with eating disorders to experiencing domestic violence is because she's lived through it all.
A post shared by Grace 🌱 she/her (@gracefvictory)
Grace Victory grew up on a council estate with her mum Dawn and youngster sister Charlotte, pictured together in the gardenCredit: Grace Victory
Grace grew up on a council estate in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, with her mother Dawn, younger sister Charlotte and her father, from whom she is now estranged.
She witnessed her cannabis-addled dad beat up her mum, was once kidnapped and held hostage by a relative and suffered crippling body confidence issues from the age of six.
"Now, looking back, I know it wasn't a normal childhood but at the time it was just my reality," Grace exclusively told The Sun Online.
"I watch Jeremy Kyle now, and I think that was literally my family life. It's cringe-y and embarrassing but that's what it was, Jeremy Kyle-type stuff. It was very normal for me."
Grace's new memoir, No Filter, documents how her turbulent childhood gave her the ambition to launch her eponymous YouTube channel, which currently has over 200,000 subscribers.
"Without my childhood I wouldn't be where I am today. I turned all my pain into passion," she said.
Grace appeared in four Harry Potter films from the age of 10 to 15. Pictured during filming alongside actor Rupert Grint, who played Ron WeasleyCredit: PR
"It made me want better for myself and for my future children. I'm very thankful for what happened to me which is a bizarre thing to say.
"I really believe that if I didn't have a disadvantaged childhood, I wouldn't be as driven as I am today."
As her book title suggests, nothing is off-limits, but there were things Grace was apprehensive about including.
In 2006, aged 16, she was raped by a college student while out for the evening with a friend.

She was so traumatised by the experience that she didn't tell anyone for a year.
The assault sparked a turning point in Grace's life and she spiralled into a deep depression.
She attempted suicide twice and self-harmed, covering her scars with fake tan.
This is the first time she has spoken publicly about it.
"It's the one thing I've never spoken about on the internet or rarely told many people in my life," she said.

"Obviously it's a private matter and a difficult thing to bring up in conversation. I'm slightly nervous about. I don't think people will expect it.
"I've wanted to talk about it before but I don't know if the internet is the right place to do that - the comments can get out of control and it can be quite triggering.
"Hopefully my experience is going to resonate with people and give other victims the courage to go to the police or tell someone.
"And also to let people know they're not alone. Sexual assault and rape are unfortunately quite common, especially with women."
Grace's first kiss was with the now-actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, pictured with his film-maker wife Sam Taylor-JohnsonCredit: Getty - Contributor
Grace, pictured with her blogger friends, has found fame as a body positive activistCredit: Grace Victory
During all of her dark times, Grace has sought solace through dance and her acting work.
She joined the Jackie Palmer Stage School in High Wycombe aged two, and has gone on to star in The Bill, Family Affairs and four Harry Potter films.
"It was amazing. I had a robe and my own wand! It was part of my life for five years. I loved it," she said.
"I met all the main characters, Daniel [Radcliffe], Emma [Watson] and Rupert [Grint], everyone was lovely and wonderful.
"I had school on site in a trailer where four or five of us were with one teacher. Then we'd go off on set or to lunch. Back then no one knew how big Harry Potter would be."
In the book, Grace recalls one hilarious incident while filming Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.
She was getting in a boat that was preparing to travel to Hogwarts when it capsized and tipped her into Virginia Waters in Surrey.
Grace ended up flashing her floral knickers at Daniel Radcliffe, who rushed over to help.
"Daniel found it funny, but I was absolutely mortified. It was freezing! It was winter!" she laughed.
"He took me to his trailer and then went back on set while I ate his custard creams and drank tea.
"He is a great guy and the right person to be around in that situation."
But Harry Potter wasn't Grace's first brush with fame.
Growing up her first kiss was with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, now an actor and husband of Fifty Shades Of Grey film-maker Sam Taylor-Johnson.
The pair met at stage-school and Grace described him as the "most popular boy".
"He was my first ever kiss, and it was the best f***ing kiss ever!" she writes in No Filter.
"We were on a date at the cinema although I have no idea what the film was – I was too busy staring at him, thinking he was the most beautiful person in the world."
The pair's romance was brief and they split after four months but Grace still has fond memories.
"I haven't seen him since I was about 18 but we still have mutual friends," she said.
"I think he's amazing for what he's achieved and I'm a massive fan of his. He was a big part of my childhood, so it's all positive vibes going towards him.
"He doesn't know he's in the book so it will be a nice surprise for him. He was part of my life. We have great memories together."
Grace is becoming famous in her own right. The plus-size star's Pressure To Be Perfect video in 2012 helped launch her career as a body positive activist, and she's gone on to appear in campaigns for Nike and Evans.
She has battled image issues since she was at infant school, and admits she can't remember a time growing up when she was happy with her figure.
"My wider family would pick on my weight as a child, and call me fat," she said.
"I went to dance school and that probably didn't help either. I was the biggest in terms of weight and height. I had D-cup boobs at 10 years old.
"It played massively into not feeling good enough and that I had to constantly lose weight to fit in."
Grace developed bulimia and tried out dozens of fad diets for years, until one day she knew she had to change her mind-set.
"It was March last year, actually. I was constantly in this battle of trying to lose weight and I became very drained," she said.
"My therapist told me it's not normal to always count calories. I thought that's how thin people stayed thin. That changed my whole world.
"I guess I was just tired of it. I didn't want to have disordered eating anymore."
Grace has learned to deal with her demons but continues to see a therapist and filmed the BBC documentary, Clean Eating's Dirty Secrets, last year.
"I've processed a lot of my trauma but I have therapy to lean on when I feel a bit wobbly or exposed and vulnerable. I think being vulnerable is why I connect with a lot of people," she said.
"Some days it's hard to talk about things that trigger you or make you feel sad, but it's okay to feel sad sometimes as I'm generally a happy person and I'm very positive."
Grace, who has filmed with Alesha Dixon and Katie Piper, now has her sights set on becoming a documentary maker.
"When I was first called a role model in 2011 I hated it. At the time I was self-harming, I was very depressed and I hid that," she said.
"When I began to out myself and tell people about my mental health issues, that's when I realised I'm more of a real model, not just a role model.
"I'm really gunning for a really hard-hitting documentary about kids in care, sex trafficking, the secrets of the beauty industry… I want to do Dispatches-type stuff.
"I just want to prove to people like me, hey, you can have a really difficult childhood but still come out the other end.
"Childhood trauma can be dealt with it just takes courage and a lot of time and effort."

In this chapter from Windows Internals, 5th Edition, learn the data structures and algorithms that deal with processes, threads, and jobs in the Windows operating system. The first section focuses on the internal structures that make up a process. The second section outlines the steps involved in creating a process (and its initial thread). The internals of threads and thread scheduling are then described. The chapter concludes with a description of the job object.
Where relevant performance counters or kernel variables exist, they are mentioned. Although this book isn't a Windows programming book, the pertinent process, thread, and job Windows functions are listed so that you can pursue additional information on their use.
Because processes and threads touch so many components in Windows, a number of terms and data structures (such as working sets, objects and handles, system memory heaps, and so on) are referred to in this chapter but are explained in detail elsewhere in the book. To fully understand this chapter, you need to be familiar with the terms and concepts explained in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, such as the difference between a process and a thread, the Windows virtual address space layout, and the difference between user mode and kernel mode.
This section describes the key Windows process data structures. Also listed are key kernel variables, performance counters, and functions and tools that relate to processes.
Each Windows process is represented by an executive process (EPROCESS) block. Besides containing many attributes relating to a process, an EPROCESS block contains and points to a number of other related data structures. For example, each process has one or more threads represented by executive thread (ETHREAD) blocks. (Thread data structures are explained in the section Thread Internals later in this chapter.) The EPROCESS block and its related data structures exist in system address space, with the exception of the process environment block (PEB), which exists in the process address space (because it contains information that needs to be accessed by user-mode code).
In addition to the EPROCESS block and the PEB, the Windows subsystem process (Csrss) maintains a parallel structure for each process that is executing a Windows program. Finally, the kernel-mode part of the Windows subsystem (Win32k.sys) will also maintain a per-process data structure that is created the first time a thread calls a Windows USER or GDI function that is implemented in kernel mode.
Figure 5-1 is a simplified diagram of the process and thread data structures. Each data structure shown in the figure is described in detail in this chapter.
First let's focus on the process block. (We'll get to the thread block in the section Thread Internals later in the chapter.) Figure 5-2 shows the key fields in an EPROCESS block.
An alternative way to see the KPROCESS (and other substructures in the EPROCESS) is to use the recursion (–r) switch of the dt command. For example, typing dt _eprocess –r1 will recurse and display all substructures one level deep.
The dt command shows the format of a process block, not its contents. To show an instance of an actual process, you can specify the address of an EPROCESS structure as an argument to the dt command. You can get the address of all the EPROCESS blocks in the system by using the !process 0 0 command. An annotated example of the output from this command is included later in this chapter.
Table 5-1 explains some of the fields in the preceding experiment in more detail and includes references to other places in the book where you can find more information about them. As we've said before and will no doubt say again, processes and threads are such integral parts of Windows that it's impossible to talk about them without referring to many other parts of the system. To keep the length of this chapter manageable, however, we've covered those related subjects (such as memory management, security, objects, and handles) elsewhere.
Common dispatcher object header, pointer to the process page directory, list of kernel thread (KTHREAD) blocks belonging to the process, default base priority, affinity mask, and total kernel and user time and CPU clock cycles for the threads in the process.
Unique process ID, creating process ID, name of image being run, window station process is running on.
Series of data structures that describes the status of the portions of the address space that exist in the process.
Pointer to working set list (MMWSL structure); current, peak, minimum, and maximum working set size; last trim time; page fault count; memory priority; outswap flags; page fault history.
Current and peak virtual size, page file usage, hardware page table entry for process page directory.
Interprocess communication channel to which the process manager sends a message when one of the process's threads causes an exception.
Executive object through which the user-mode debugging infrastructure sends notifications when one of the process's threads causes a debug event.
Executive object describing the security profile of this process.
Address of per-process handle table.
Address of object directory to resolve device name references in (supports multiple users).
Process details needed by the kernel-mode component of the Windows subsystem.
The PEB, which lives in the user process address space, contains information needed by the image loader, the heap manager, and other Windows system DLLs that need to access it from user mode. (The EPROCESS and KPROCESS blocks are accessible only from kernel mode.) The basic structure of the PEB is illustrated in Figure 5-4 and is explained in more detail later in this chapter.
DirBase: 1a81b000  ObjectTable: e12bd418  HandleCount:  66.
A few key kernel global variables that relate to processes are listed in Table 5-2. These variables are referred to later in the chapter, when the steps in creating a process are described.
Windows maintains a number of counters with which you can track the processes running on your system; you can retrieve these counters programmatically or view them with the Performance tool. Table 5-3 lists the performance counters relevant to processes.
Describes the percentage of time that the threads in the process have run in kernel mode during a specified interval.
Describes the percentage of CPU time that the threads in the process have used during a specified interval. This count is the sum of % Privileged Time and % User Time.
Describes the percentage of time that the threads in the process have run in user mode during a specified interval.
Describes the total elapsed time in seconds since this process was created.
Returns the process ID. This ID applies only while the process exists because process IDs are reused.
Returns the process ID of the creating process. This value isn't updated if the creating process exits.
Returns the number of threads in the process.
Returns the number of handles open in the process.
For reference purposes, some of the Windows functions that apply to processes are described in Table 5-4. For further information, consult the Windows API documentation in the MSDN Library.
DirBase: b45b0820  ObjectTable: b94ffda0  HandleCount:  99.
VadRoot 85a1c8e8 Vads 97 Clone 0 Private 5919. Modified 153. Locked 1.
After the basic process output comes a list of the threads in the process. That output is explained in the EXPERIMENT: Using the Kernel Debugger !thread Command section later in the chapter. Other commands that display process information include !handle, which dumps the process handle table (which is described in more detail in the section Object Handles and the Process Handle Table in Chapter 3). Process and thread security structures are described in Chapter 6.

The Promise Of Grutter: Diverse Interactions At The University Of Michigan Law School, Meera E. Deo Sep 2011
The Promise Of Grutter: Diverse Interactions At The University Of Michigan Law School, Meera E. Deo
In Grutter v. Bollinger, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld affirmative action at the University of Michigan Law School on the grounds of educational diversity. Yet the Court's assumption that admitting diverse students into law school would result in improved race relations, livelier classroom conversations, and better professional outcomes for students has never been empirically tested. This Article relies on survey and focus group data collected at the University of Michigan Lav School campus itself in March 2010 to examine not only whether, but how diversity affects learning. The data indicate both that there are sufficient numbers of students ...

Education And Labor Relations: Asian Americans And Blacks As Pawns In The Furtherance Of White Hegemony, Xiaofeng Stephanie Da
Asian Americans and Blacks have been, and continue to be, racialized relative to each other in our society. Asian Americans and Blacks have come to occupy marginalized positions as the polarized ends on the economic spectrums of education and labor relations, with an expanding "Whiteness" as the filler in the middle as Whites manipulate the differing interests of both subordinated groups to align with White (the dominant group's) interests. Although Whites purport to champion the interests of one subordinate group over the other, in reality the racialization of Asian Americans and Blacks in our country is rooted in the ...

Negative Action Versus Affirmative Action: Asian Pacific Americans Are Still Caught In The Crossfire, William C. Kidder
The author concludes that Espenshade and Chung's inattention to the distinction between negative action and affirmative action effectively marginalizes APAs and contributes to a skewed and divisive public discourse about affirmative action, one in which APAs are falsely portrayed as conspicuous adversaries of diversity in higher education. The author will also argue that there is ample reason to be concerned about the harmful effects of divisive and empirically unsupported claims about APAs influencing the public debate over affirmative action, particularly in Michigan, where an anti-affirmative action initiative nearly identical to California's Proposition 209 will appear on the November ...
The Diversity Rationale: Unprovable, Uncompelling, Brian N. Lizotte Jan 2006
The Diversity Rationale: Unprovable, Uncompelling, Brian N. Lizotte
Student body diversity-and the purported educational benefits diversity bestows- is the final Supreme Court-endorsed justification for affirmative action by public universities. Are the benefits of diversity indeed "substantial," as the Grutter majority claimed? The author analyzes the social scientific research upon which the Court relied in articulating the diversity interest. By critiquing its theory and methodology, the author shows how the research fails to prove educational benefits; and by considering the logic underlying social science generally, he shows how the causal relationship is, technically, not provable. The author questions, then, how the diversity interest can possibly be compelling.

This Article is divided into five parts. Part I briefly places the significance of the Supreme Court's affirmative action ruling in Grutter v. Bollinger in context, particularly the implications of its recommended twenty-five year timeframe in recognizing racial diversity. Part II examines the dangerous consequences of implicit assumptions underlying the RPI. More specifically, I investigate the potential ramifications the RPI would have had upon multiple sectors of our society, including healthcare, education, and law enforcement. In the process, I attempt to demonstrate that the concept of racial privacy is a strategic misnomer intended not to protect one's privacy ...

An Analysis Of The Supreme Court's Reliance On Racial "Stigma" As A Constitutional Concept In Affirmative Action Cases, Andrew F. Halaby, Stephen R. Mcallister
The Article's focus is confined to discussions of race-based affirmative action; it does not consider stigmatization arguments in the context of discrimination involving gender or disabilities, for example. Further, the Article's scope is limited to the stigmatization issue as between Whites and African Americans. Although similar issues exist with respect to other ethnic or racial groups, we view the White/African American paradigm as providing the clearest framework for analysis. Moreover, the cases of Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education, joint progenitors of stigmatization as a concept having constitutional significance in interpreting the Equal Protection ...

Race-Conscious Diversity Admissions Programs: Furthering A Compelling Interest, Marty B. Lorenzo
This Article argues that narrowly tailored, race-conscious admissions programs can be employed to achieve a more diverse student body and consequently a more enlightened and egalitarian society. An admissions body which looks beyond traditional academic indicators and explores the whole person of each applicant will matriculate a group of students with a wide variety of race, gender, class and other backgrounds, thereby fostering a robust exchange of ideas among these students. Pointing to the enduring precedential value of Bakke as well as the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court, this Article asserts that the Courts would likely uphold a program ...

The Evolution Of Race In The Law: The Supreme Court Moves From Approving Internment Of Japanese Americans To Disapproving Affirmative Ation For African Americans, Reggie Oh, Frank Wu
As the Court suggests, the Korematsu precedent is crucial to the Adarand decision. In Adarand, the Court analyzes Korematsu in depth, acknowledging that its own judgment had been mistaken in the internment cases, instead of simply citing the decisions as it formally had done until the very recent past. The Court nevertheless fails to appreciate the differences between Korematsu and Adarand, and in particular the consequences of using "strict scrutiny" for all racial classifications. This essay explores the complex relation-ship between Korematsu and Adarand, and offers a critique of the reasoning used in both cases. The essay argues that Adarand ...


The Good Senator from Nissan – oops, I mean, Tennessee – Bob Corker, should be asked to register as a foreign agent. He seems more interested in lowering US living standards to those found in Asia rather than helping rebuild US manufacturing so that it can provide socially useful products and productive jobs.
Corker keeps saying the UAW should lower wages – again – in order to be competitive.
But what does that mean? First, the UAW has already conceded far too much to the mantra of competitiveness in a downward spiral of wages and benefits. New workers make as little as $14 an hour in GM plants. Second, UAW retirees are taking as big a haircut as bondholders because their retirement healthcare is dependent on a convertible note that is falling in value as we speak. Third, even Fox is reporting that wages in US UAW plants are the same as those in non UAW plants. It is the lower cost of healthcare for those newer non UAW plants that is the problem.
Of course, there is an alternative – increase the wages and benefits of all workers across the board! HARMONIZE UPWARD NOT DOWN.
Now take that message back to your bosses at Nissan, Senator Bob.

Italophile Book Reviews: Downtown Italian by Campanale, et. al.
Downtown Italian by Campanale, et. al.
Downtown Italian's subtitle is: Recipes Inspired by Italy, Created in New York's West Village. The recipes and the wine accompaniments and the cocktail creations are by Joe Campanale, Gabriel Thompson and Katherine Thompson.
The sommelier, chef, and pastry chef have interpreted traditional Italian dishes to make them their own, inspired by both Italy and America. They serve this fare regularly at four restaurants in New York City: dell'anima, L'Artusi, L'Apicio, and Anfora.
The three authors are not purists; they have a very relaxed attitude to food, and working with food.
The point is to work with the ingredients, treat them right, cook with love, and create something you and everyone else wants to eat right that minute. Have fun!
The Notes on Wine section is interesting for Italophiles who are also Oenophiles. The sommelier mentions that there are more than 1000 indigenous grape varieties in Italy. He describes the wines in terms of their region, grape variety, producer, and the style of wine. He contributes all the creative Aperitivi, most of which have accompanying photographs. For each dish in the book, he suggests an accompanying wine.
There are lots of unusual Antipasti, and many salads, which are not a strength in traditional Italian cooking.
The Pasta section offers a wide variety of meat ragus and sauces, which seem quite North African.
The Secondi are solid, do-able dishes of fish or meat, that seem like satisfying, not fussy, dishes.
Contorni is the shortest section, but each dish comes with a suggested pairing with a main dish.
The Dolci are quite work involved, and very sweet compared to their Italian inspirations, so they are more for an American palate.
There is no recipe list at the front of the book. The recipe names appear only in the Index, which includes all the ingredients and instructions.
Three of the most inventive young restaurateurs in New York's vibrant East and West Villages present 100 contemporary Italian-inspired cocktails, antipasti, pastas, main courses and desserts—made approachable for the home cook.
Amid the cobblestoned streets and picturesque brownstones of New York's charming West Village, three dynamic young restaurateurs are creating some of the most inventive and delicious Italian-inspired cuisine in a city world-famous for its Italian food. Now the drinks and dishes that have inspired fanatical loyalty among customers of dell'anima, L'Artusi, L'Apicio and Anfora—including Charred Octopus with Chicories, Impromptu Tiramisu, and a sparking Roasted Orange Negroni Sbagliato—are accessible to home cooks in the first cookbook from executive chef Gabriel Thompson, pastry chef Katherine Thompson, and beverage director Joe Campanale.
Downtown Italian is published by Andrews McMeel Publishing.

Q: ReST: http 204 status code for polling for a resource after a 201 Created I have a request (POST) which creates a resource.  This resource takes a long time to create (up to hours), but its id is created immediately.
It seems to me the most appropriate flow is:

*

*POST /thing - response is 201 Created with "URI for the resource given by a Location header field" (as per http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html)

*Start polling GET /thing/id to which the response should be:

*

*As long as resource has not been prepared - 204 No Content

*Once the resource is ready - 200 OK with the resource returned in the response body
I am seeking opinions/ advice because I am basing my opinion on (a lot) of reading and less so on experience and this seems different from most recommendations to initially return a 202 Accepted and to use 204 only in response to http DELETE

A: You can choose to return 202 Accepted upon POST:

The request has been accepted for processing, but the processing has not been completed. The request might or might not eventually be acted upon, as it might be disallowed when processing actually takes place.

Now as explained here, you can alter your response body or headers to include something like a Status value indicating whether the resource generation has completed when the user performs a GET request. Any positive status code will do.
Alternatively, as advocated here, you can also return 202 for the GET while the entity is being created.
All other applicable status codes can be considered 'definitive', because when a client receives 204 No Content, it cannot differentiate between "entity not yet generated" and "entity was generated, it is empty".

Working in your home country is excellent since you are at home and you already know the working conditions. You do not need to spend on house rental because you already have one. You are also close to the people you love and the friends you grew up with. Despite the comfort of having a job in your home country, you might still want to consider working overseas.
You might find better opportunities abroad than the one that you currently have. If you choose to work in London, you will have the chance of getting a high-paying job. You will also be in a vibrant community where millions of immigrants reside. You can even improve your skills since you are challenging yourself by working in top companies. If you are unsure, these are some signs that will tell you it is time to leave your home country and give overseas employment a chance.
Evaluate your job right now and see if you are still comfortable doing it. If you do not feel satisfied anymore, it might be time for you to consider leaving. It is worse if you keep working in the same job for years, but you have no way to move up the corporate ladder. You are at a dead end, and you cannot use your skills. If you start feeling this way, you need to start thinking about leaving.
When you were younger, you felt that your CV was competitive enough. Now that you are already getting old, you might feel like your CV is not interesting anymore. If you compare it with other people your age, they have more work experience and training than you. Even if they decide to leave their job later, they will not find it difficult to search for a new one. While you think you can still find a job to improve your CV, you need to do it.
Learning a new language is easier when you are with people who are native speakers of the said language. You can still learn in a formal classroom setting, but it is different when you learn through interaction with the locals. You can improve your English if you are in the UK and you regularly speak with other people.
If you are happy with your post right now, you will not feel terrible each time someone tells you that they landed a job overseas. However, if your heart beats fast out of jealousy when you hear such news, it means that you also want what they have. You can start applying now and change your path.
When you do not feel challenged anymore, and you think that your life is becoming boring, it is time to consider working abroad.
When you finally decide to work abroad, you will need help from immigration lawyers London offers. They will guide you in the process and make sure that you obtain the appropriate visa.
