iTWire - Back up there for a second – Acronis has a new foundation to build schools?
Home Development Back up there for a second – Acronis has a new foundation to build schools?
Back up there for a second – Acronis has a new foundation to build schools?
Yes, you heard right, Acronis has set up a new foundation to support education and protect knowledge worldwide, having built a school in Myanmar, another in Cambodia and with more planned for Latin America, the Middle East, South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
When one of the world's leaders in hybrid cloud data protection decides that knowledge is worth protecting in all its forms, well beyond only data back-ups, the good in social good is so much more than just goods and services.
Acronis is the company behind the plan, and to mark its 15th anniversary, it says it has "turned its belief in the absolute value of knowledge into the Acronis Foundation, which will promote learning and opportunity around the world".
The move also celebrates the company's founding principle that "all evils are caused by insufficient knowledge", and so the Foundation is "supporting multiple initiatives designed to stimulate education to gain and protect knowledge".
So, what is the first project, which lays a very solid foundation for the Acronis Foundation?
Well, it turns out that the first project is the "Acronis Schools Initiative, an international endowment that will fund the construction of 15 new schools in underserved communities around the globe during the next three years".
And so how does Acronis says this delivers on its core belief?
Here we're told that "constant learning, creating and protecting knowledge, and advancing technology are integral parts of Acronis' DNA".
"As a result, Acronis has been creating and sharing knowledge by funding research and technical training programs in communities where Acronis has research and development centres.
"For its 15th anniversary," Acronis says "it was natural" for the company "to expand on this effort".
John Zanni, Acronis' president, explained: "Acronis believes that all evils are caused by insufficient knowledge. Knowledge is always good and has the power to bring real change in the world. That belief is a core component of what drives Acronis. The company was built to protect knowledge by protecting all data, applications and system in the modern digital world."
"With the Acronis Foundation, Acronis funds programs that will spread knowledge to new audiences around the world."
Where does the "Acronis Schools Initiative" fit into all of this?
Here, Acronis points to UNESCO estimates that "more than 50% of the world's children (over 617 million) are unable to reach the minimum proficiency levels of reading and mathematics."
Acronis states its belief that "every child has the potential to learn, giving them the skills needed to gain knowledge and create opportunities for themselves and their community. As the first project, the Acronis Schools Initiative will celebrate the company's 15-year anniversary by funding the construction of 15 schools."
Jochen Berger, managing director of the Acronis Foundation, said: "School is where the path to knowledge and opportunity begins.
"Technology is the modern language of opportunity, but without a basic education, no one can learn that language.
The Acronis Schools Initiative works with local leaders and non-profit organisations to build schools that meet the community's unique needs. School projects are planned in Latin America, the Middle East, South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
What are the five guiding values?
Commitment – The success of each school will be tracked, and ongoing reports will be published of the schools' performance and community impact.
Focus – Every cent spent by The Acronis Schools Initiative goes toward school-building projects, while administrative costs are covered by Acronis.
Appreciation – Donors deserve recognition for their contribution, so each school will have a marker with their name and donors can attend the school's opening ceremony.
Accountability – This is a charitable donation with a money-back guarantee. If a donor is not happy after the school opening, their investment will be returned.
Transparency – Details about donations, expenditures, projects and payments will be fully visible to reassure partners and the public about our work.
Anyone interested in partnering and contributing to these efforts can find additional information on the Foundation's website.


Start soon for Father's Day!!!
Get started early for Father's Day! Bring in your sweet little kiddos and create some hand-painted pieces for dad and grandpa! Let us help you put handprints or footprints on mugs, plates, frames, or anything you love. We can even help encourage your little one to draw a fun picture or self portrait with pencil, which you can go over with our special glaze pencil to make it permanent! There are so many creative and fun things waiting for you at Painted Plate! Drop in and make some memories!
As summer begins to wind down (and cool down!), it's always fun to plan some last minute adventures. Summer is about fun experiences and creating memories. Maybe you and your kids want to spend some creative time before school starts back up, perhaps you need a cute gift for an end-of-the-summer wedding, or maybe you and your friends want to paint some fun mugs to take with you to college.
No matter the occasion, The Painted Plate is perfect for you!
Our hope is to give everyone who walks through the door an experience they'll treasure forever. Whether that's throwing a birthday party for your adorable kiddo or walking you through the steps to paint a piece you'll use for years to come, our staff is here to make that happen.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding new pieces of pottery to our selection! Make sure you stop on by and check them out. It's always fun to create something new and different! You can even bring in that cute design you found on Pinterest! We'll show you the right techniques to bring it to life. We'll also be adding some evening classes you can sign up for! Let us know in the comments what types of classes you'd enjoy and we'll do our best to make them happen.
So keep us in mind as you enjoy the last few weeks of summer! Head downtown and paint with us. We'll make sure you enjoy every moment!
Spring Arts Walk is about to hit downtown Olympia, and The Painted Plate is excited to be a part of the fun. Many people have enjoyed painting pottery in our studio for the last 19 years. We have been lucky to have employees who love creating art with each and every person who walks through the door. Our employees become jacks of all trades: painters, instructors, baristas, clay artists, kiln technicians, and custom artists. They work hard to create a studio with walls filled with beautifully designed pottery at the direction of the store's owner, the lovely Georgia LaRocque. But the secret is, they have unique designs their own!
This year, The Painted Plate will be showcasing some of our employees and their wonderful work. Each of our artists has their own special style and is thrilled to be able to share it with you this spring.
So take a moment and let us introduce you to The Artists Within!
Hello, my name is Kim Nelson and I'm an artist. It's been 1 day 13 hours and 24 minutes since I've picked up a pencil. As an artist, I could not stop sketching, painting, and doodling on every surface available. Even when I was diagnosed with Compulsive doodle syndrome by friends and family, I could not stop drawing. This is the torment and hopelessness of being artistically inclined. Yet here I am, cold turkey many hours and few minutes sober. How is this possible? I guess it's not, and I'm really just hoping to fail this cold turkey business and get back to creating.
All joking aside, I love to create and amuse myself, and possibly others with what I make. Thanks and please enjoy my portraits and jokes on ceramics this spring Arts Walk.
Kathryn Ginther is a visual artist based in Olympia Washington. She received her BFA at the Maine College of Art with a concentration in painting. Her studio practice focuses on the figure and exploring traditional portraiture. Her love of portraiture stems from a lifelong interest in people watching, or as her husband likes to call it, staring. every portrait is an opportunity to watch a sterile surface become a loved one, acquaintance, or stranger. For kathryn, a portrait is a person who doesn't mind being stared at, and who was in fact, created for the soul purpose of staring at you.
Cassi has no formal artist training, save one calligraphy class she took during college. But that was enough. Since then, she has become a self-taught calligrapher, more recently focusing on handlettering and brush lettering. Her love of words is what drives her art: taking simple words and wonderful phrases and turning them into beautiful works of art. She immediately fell in love with the quote, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful," so that is the mantra for her creativity.
The ceramic Pieces painted by Chrissy Giles have one purpose - to put a smile on your face. Inspired by her close relationship to the woods and creatures of the Pacific Northwest, Chrissy focuses on surrealistic animal motifs, botanical illustration, and playful portraiture. With an art school background, her motivation for creating work is to not take it too seriously. Chrissy currently studies art and sustainability at The Evergreen State College.

Q: TypeError: Cannot read property 'GoogleAuthProvider' of undefined Using Angular cli v5 and angularfire2 v5, There is no error on console and terminal, all running fine but while calling google login function getting error on browser console.
Source code :
import { Component, OnInit, HostBinding  } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularFireAuth } from 'angularfire2/auth';
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { moveIn } from '../router.animations';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-login',
  templateUrl: './login.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./login.component.css'],
  providers: [AngularFireAuth],
  animations: [moveIn()],
  host: {'[@moveIn]': ''}
})
export class LoginComponent implements OnInit {

  error: any;
  constructor(public afAuth: AngularFireAuth) {  }

  loginGoogle() {
     this.afAuth.auth.signInWithPopup(new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider());
  }

  logout() {
     this.afAuth.auth.signOut();
  }

  ngOnInit() {  }
}

A: Use both the below imports. It should solve your issue.
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/auth';

Note that importing the whole firebase (development SDK) like below will work just as fine, but you will get a warning in the console to import only the individual SDK components you intend to use. This method is not recommended when deploying Firebase apps to production.
import * as firebase from 'firebase';

A: At import section add these lines of code:
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app'; import 'firebase/auth';

In your code:
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider());

A: Got warning message while npm install again, the message is angularfire2@5.0.0-rc.5-next requires a peer of firebase@^4.5.0 but none was installed, then tried to install firebase alone with 4.5.0.
npm install firebase@4.5.0 --save
then changed the import :
from import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
to import * as firebase from 'firebase';
Runs fine now.
Note : finally added import { AngularFireAuthModule } from 'angularfire2/auth'; in app.module to avoid Uncaught (in promise): Error: No provider for AngularFireAuth!

A: Finally got solution at https://github.com/firebase/angularfire/issues/968
Just changing firebase import to import { firebase } from '@firebase/app'; solved the issue.

A: this worked for me: I'm using Vue.js
import firebase from 'firebase/app'
...
created() {
    let provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider()
}

I'm not sure how this should be for Angular.
Maybe this can help for Vue.js developers, so I'm leaving this here.

A: use this in your html page where you want to use firebase authentication.
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.2.0/firebase.js"></script>

A: If you only using import firebase from 'firebase/app'
You should get this result :

TypeError: Cannot read property 'GoogleAuthProvider' of undefined

You may add :
import 'firebase/auth'

A: I am not sure if this is related but I fix a similar issue by importing the auth module like this:
import { AngularFireAuth } from '@angular/fire/auth';
import { firebase } from '@firebase/app';
import '@firebase/auth';

A: my firebase.js (plugin)
import firebase from "firebase/app";
import "firebase/auth";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
dotenv.config();

// Import needed firebase modules

let config = {
  apiKey: process.env.VUE_APP_APIKEY,
  authDomain: process.env.VUE_APP_AUTHDOMAIN,
  databaseURL: process.env.VUE_APP_DATABASEURL,
  projectId: process.env.VUE_APP_PROJECTID,
  storageBucket: process.env.VUE_APP_STORAGEBUCKET,
  messagingSenderId: process.env.VUE_APP_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
  appId: process.env.VUE_APP_APP_ID,
  measurementId: process.env.VUE_APP_MEASUREMENT_ID
};

// Init our firebase app
firebase.initializeApp(config);

my component code
import firebase from "../plugins/firebase.js";  **//error is here**
import { required, email } from "vuelidate/lib/validators";
import { mapGetters, mapMutations } from "vuex";
import { GET_LOADING, SET_LOADING } from "../store";

enter image description here
here is what i did to fix my problem, am using vue and firebase google auth.
i was importing a plugin file i had(firebase.js) created ,instead you should import firebase/app whenever you want to use google or any other authentication method lile;
import firebase/app

not
import firebase from '../plugins/firebase.js'

now my component code looks like this.
    import firebase from "firebase/app";
    import { required, email } from "vuelidate/lib/validators";
    import { mapGetters, mapMutations } from "vuex";
    import { GET_LOADING, SET_LOADING } from "../store";

this worked for me

A: Downgrading the firebase package is a viable solution.
In your package.json, under the dependencies, change the version from 4.13.0 to 4.12.0, like so:
"dependencies": {
     ...
     ...
     "firebase": "4.12.0"
     ...
     ...
}

Then run npm install.

A: Got the same error. "Cannot read property 'GoogleAuthProvider' of undefined"
Not using Angular JS but I solved it by including the SDK of the firebase auth product in my HTML page:
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-auth.js"></script>

A:
import { initializeApp, FirebaseApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getAnalytics } from "firebase/analytics";
import { signInWithPopup, GoogleAuthProvider } from 'firebase/auth';

initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
export const loginWhitGoogle = () => {
return signInWithPopup(new GoogleAuthProvider());

}

Good morning everyone. Boy where has the week gone? It seems like yesterday was Sunday. I'm so excited to be back in my craft room doing what I love. I guess the old saying "Time Flies When You Are Having Fun" must be true or for me it is.

Few draft resistance anthems provided greater fuel for the Vietnam War protest movement than Country Joe McDonald's "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag." More importantly, he was among the first rock musicians of the 1960s to see beyond the slogans and posturing, as McDonald took an active role spotlighting the plight of returning soldiers, demanding they be treated with compassion at a time of great political and social turmoil. McDonald's most high profile moment resulted after his unscheduled solo appearance on the first day the 1969 Woodstock festival. The "Fish Cheer" (which always preceded "I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag" in his performances with Country Joe & the Fish) had the monumental Woodstock audience joyously replacing the F-I-S-H of the original Fish Cheer with F-U-C-K, soon to become one of the most humorous and memorable moments in the Woodstock movie, essentially launching McDonald's solo career at the dawn of the 1970s. Although his solo albums never reached the popularity of his 1960s albums with Country Joe & the Fish, McDonald remained prolific throughout the next decade, releasing numerous solo albums that continued to mix his unique brand of scathing critical sarcasm, political humor, and compassionate understanding.

Women's Connection Group - New year Intention Setting!
Ladies - Please join me for the first connection group in my new office space on the west side of Olympia! I'm excited to serve you tea, and cozy up together for the evening!
As we enter a new year, let's gather, connect, listen, be heard, hold space together, and focus on setting intentions for the new year!
We are all wired for connection. It is part of what feeds us and keeps us healthy, happy and feeling whole. Women have a need to connect with women. In this time of so much internet connection, we are gathering in person and holding space for each other to connect. We hold space for each other to be seen, to be heard, to inspire, to share, to support, to grow, to heighten our sense of self awareness, to help each other along on our path of self love and continually evolving from the perfection of where we are now, to the best versions of ourselves possible.
We gather with open minds, open hearts, compassion, and non-judgement for every woman in the room. We create a safe space to share.
I hope to offer these connection groups monthly again!
We will always have a group topic for the month and everyone will have a chance to share whatever is up for them in life, in a supportive environment.
This month we will discuss setting intentions for 2019!

A popular survey of the military implications of space technology--by the author of Ring of Fire (1981), a similarly-pitched review of seismic forces. It's not news that NASA, since its flowering after Sputnik, has had ties with the Dept. of Defense--a testy marriage in the halcyon days of Apollo, a more accepting alliance given the current need for military backing for the Shuttle budget. What Ritchie provides is a closer account of the early years (back to Goddard and PeenemÃœnde)--down to Air Force, Army, and civilian rivalries--and intervening developments. Back when Kennedy and Khrushchev had their standoff on Cuba, for example, reconaissance cameras on board a SAMOS satellite had already shown that vaunted Russian ICBM strength was but a tenth of US stockpiles. (Later in the decade, the films taken by Gemini cameras were so superb they were never revealed to the public.) Ritchie goes on to report rumor and fact as regards a variety of exotic weapons--from laser guns to Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems (FOBS), reportedly being developed by one or both contenders in space. (China's increasing prowess is also documented.) Ritchie's conclusion: ""We face the likely extinction of America's non-military space program within the current decade--a chilling object lesson in what can happen when the lamb lies down with the lion."" Modest, approachable, and informative. For today's big time, see James Canan's War in Space (p. 706).

I carefully got out of bed, got my running gear on and was out on the Beltline by 6:30 am and dripping in sweat in about 10 minutes.
I did a not so quick round trip down to Piedmont Park and back, around 3 miles and realized a few things.
Atlanta had become Hotlanta over the weekend and was humid as a swamp.
And the Burning Man Ultra-marathon was less than 2 months away.
I was determined to not make the same mistake I had in years past, that being driving too many hours each day and not taking the time to enjoy the scenery.
However with my packing and procrastination issues as well as needing to make a detour to deal with a giant tent and its faulty zipper, we once again are in that very familiar place of many, many hours behind the wheel and not so much time stopping to smell the roses.
We got out and on the road by around 10:30 only half and hour and a day later than I wanted to start.
The trip back West is becoming all too familiar as much as we try to alternate routes.
It's a beautiful trip up to Nashville and we were making great time.
We were enjoying our home-made sandwiches with a little impromtu picnic and the Kentucky welcome center. All was going quite well, we were making great time. My back and shoulder weren't bothering me at all although my knee was beginning to a little sore. I suppose I really should figure out the cruise control operations.
When walking back to the car, I noticed this big last piece hanging down from the underside of the car almost hitting the ground.
I crawled under to try to figure it out.
It seemed that when they did the tune-up, they may have forgotten to put things all the way back together.
I snapped some photos, thinking we might be able to do some research while we decided what we were going to do.
All while driving around 70MPH.
Skye was able to determine what the part was, how important or not-so-important it was to have said part and was working on finding a Toyota dealership in Kansas City, get an appointment and secure the necessary parts when she happened to look up and see a Toyota dealership right off the highway.
We hoped off the Interstate and headed back down the road; Skye quickly GPSed our route as we were, of course, unfamiliar with the area.
We pulled into the service area at 4:45 pm and miraculously within 30 minutes the Undercarriage Engine Shield had been re-secured.
Wow!! Talk about right place right time.
And when I asked them what I owed them, their response was, "Not a thing, just make sure to have a safe trip"
What a wonderful surprise birthday present that was.
We ending up making it half way through Missouri, after our close call in Kentucky. I got a birthday phone call from my mom, as well as texts from my old college roommate as well as a high school pal and then some hundred plus Facebook happy birthday messages, links etc.
I caught up with the highlights of the day's Tour de France, learned a new word, peripatetic (traveling from place to place, especially working or based in various places for relatively short periods) and set course for hopefully bagging yet another High Point, Panorama Point here we come.
A wonderful and very long birthday it was.

I've spent many a day of high-school and college at the Pizza Hut buffet. And I was happy.
This brings me to Pizza Hut in Alaska...I haven't been there. There's several here, yes. But I haven't been. The reviews aren't good (says Google).
Also, I'm afraid they won't have a buffet. My hopes will be dashed. Or, if they do, it will cost approximately $17.96 per person, and my hopes will also be dashed. I'm completely over the jacked-up restaurant prices 'round here.
I decided to venture into the wide-world of yeast baking again after my semi-success a few weeks ago.
It has worked out well for me so far.
I was entirely impressed with this recipe. It worked. It tasted amazing.
I admit that you do need to have a few hours on your hands in order to make these, but I have tons o' time these days, so that went in my favor.
I will certainly make them again.
This recipe came from the ladies at Our Best Bites. As someone new to yeast-baking, I found the details and pictures very helpful, so check it out!
I brushed my breadsticks with this concoction of melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley, oregano, onion powder, and grated Parmesan. The dipping sauce is jarred spaghetti sauce, pesto, and melted cheeses (mozzarella and Parmesan).
Then I ate them. And I was happy.
P.S. I still really miss the Pizza Hut Buffet.

A federal jury in New York has returned a verdict in favor of Toyota in one of the first lawsuits brought to trial since the 2008 Toyota recalls. The product defect case of Amir Sitafalwalla v. Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc., 2008 cv 03001 (E.D. N.Y.) was tried in Central Islip, Long Island, New York.
In this product defect lawsuit, the plaintiff, Amir Sitafalwalla, filed his lawsuit after a 2008 car accident involving his 2005 Toyota Scion. Sitafalwalla, a doctor from Long Island, crashed his vehicle into a tree after it experienced a sudden acceleration. Plaintiff's attorneys maintained that the single vehicle car accident was caused either by product defects in either the vehicle's electronic throttle system or its floor mats, a claim that was backed up by plaintiff's engineering experts.
In response, Toyota's attorneys claimed that the accident was a result of the driver's negligence, not its floor mats or electronic system. The jury apparently agreed with the defendants, returning a not guilty verdict in its favor after just an hour of deliberation.
The product defect lawsuit trial came after the release of a February 2011 report by NASA, which found that there was likely no defect in the Toyota vehicles. The NASA report was commissioned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in response to the 2008 Toyota recalls to investigate whether the vehicle's sudden accelerations were caused by an electrical problem. While the NASA report seemed to clear the auto manufacturer of product defect claims, the automotive safety experts also stated that the situation bears continued monitoring.
However, the Sitafalwalla verdict and the NASA report do not bode well for the pending lawsuits against the car manufacturer. In a product liability lawsuit the burden is on the plaintiff to identify and prove the existence of a product defect. The Sitafalwalla case was clearly not able to do so, citing that the auto accident was either the cause of a defective floor mat or an electronic failure. These drastically different defects, coupled with the not guilty verdict, would leave one to assume that the plaintiff's engineering experts were not able to find clear evidence to support the plaintiff's theory of liability. It will be interesting to see whether other plaintiffs fare better against the auto manufacturer.
Kreisman Law Offices has been handling Illinois product defect cases, including claims of automotive defects and manufacturing defects, for more than 35 years in and around Chicago, Cook County, and surrounding areas, including Arlington Heights, Barrington, Calumet Park, Evanston and Chicago's Roscoe Village.

Mathias Sandorf è un romanzo di avventura dell'autore francese Jules Verne, inizialmente serializzato sulla rivista Les Temps e poi pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1885 da Pierre-Jules Hetzel. Il libro utilizza numerosi espedienti narrativi tipici dei precedenti romanzi di Verne: isole, crittogrammi, sorprendenti rivelazioni di identità, apparecchiature futuristiche e un eroe solitario in cerca di vendetta.

Verne dedicò il romanzo alla memoria di Alexandre Dumas padre, sperando di fare di Mathias Sandorf il Conte di Montecristo dei suoi Viaggi straordinari.

Trama
A Trieste due piccoli delinquenti, Sarcany e Zirone, entrano casualmente in possesso di un cifrato che prova l'esistenza di una cospirazione per rendere indipendente l'Ungheria dall'Impero Austroungarico. Di essa fanno parte il conte Mathias Sandorf e i suoi due amici Ethienne Bathory e Ladislav Zathmar. Decidono allora di consegnare la prova al banchiere Silas Toronthal, che dopo averli aiutati a decifrare il biglietto denuncia la cospirazione alle autorità austriache che arrestano e processano i tre congiurati.
Sandorf e i suoi due amici vengono imprigionati nella fortezza di Pisino, dove origliando una conversazione vengono a conoscenza dei nomi dei due delatori che hanno fatto fallire il loro piano.

La loro disperazione si muta allora in desiderio di vendetta, e decidono di fuggire dalla fortezza per poter fare giustizia. Dei tre solo Etienne Bathory e Mathias Sandorf riescono ad abbandonare la fortezza buttandosi attraverso il torrente Foiba, che passava proprio al di sotto del luogo della loro prigionia. Dopo il lungo e difficile tragitto trasportati dalle violente acque sotterranee i due cospiratori pensano di aver trovato la salvezza nel paese di Rovigno, dove vengono aiutati da un disponibile pescatore di nome Andrea Ferrato, ma anche qui sono vittime di un nuovo tradimento da parte di uno spagnolo, Carpena, che li aveva visti uscire dal torrente. Egli aveva il duplice scopo di intascare la taglia che pendeva sulle loro teste e di causare una disgrazia al pescatore, con il quale era in pessimi rapporti. Scovati dalle guardie Mathias Sandorf ed Etienne Bathory tentano la fuga verso il mare, ma solo il primo di essi riesce a salvarsi, il secondo è arrestato dagli Austriaci e giustiziato.

Per la giustizia Austroungarica la storia dei cospiratori di Trieste finisce qui: due di essi sono stati puniti con la morte, l'altro è affogato nel Mar Adriatico. Per quanto riguarda il pescatore di Rovigno è condannato ai lavori forzati, ma poco dopo incontra la morte nel campo di prigionia.

Nel frattempo metà del ricco patrimonio lasciato dal conte Sandorf viene diviso tra i due delatori anonimi che avevano causato l'arresto dei tre ungheresi, una parte però rimane intoccata, è infatti destinata alla giovane figlia del conte che la riceverà in eredità quando compirà i 18 anni.

La narrazione si blocca e riprende quindici anni dopo gli eventi appena narrati, spostandosi da Trieste a Ragusa nel cui porto sbarca il ricco Dott. Antekirtt, misterioso medico arricchitosi in Oriente. Appena arrivato incontra ed arruola due acrobati francesi Punta Pescade, agile ed astuto, e Capo Matifu, dotato di una incredibile forza. Qui si mette in contatto con la famiglia Bathory, composta ormai solo dalla moglie e dal figlio Pierre di Etienne e presto scopre anche che in questa città risiedeva pure il ricco banchiere di Trieste Silas Toronthal insieme alla moglie e la figlia Sava.

Con dolore egli viene a sapere dell'amore tra il giovane Bathory e la figlia del delatore ma prima che egli possa prendere qualsiasi provvedimento arriva nella città dalmata anche Sarcany che attraverso ricatti convince il banchiere a cedergli la mano della figlia.

Quando la notizia diventa di dominio pubblico Pierre appare profondamente addolorato ed una notte viene ritrovato ferito con un coltello sul punto di morire.

Il dottore interviene ed attraverso una tecnica di ipnosi gli induce uno stato di morte apparente. Vengono celebrati i suoi funerali ma nei giorni seguenti egli stesso recupera il suo corpo e su una delle sue navi lo rianima e lo guarisce.

Pierre viene allora a sapere del tradimento subito da suo padre e la vera identità del dottor Antekirtt: in realtà egli è il conte Mathias Sandorf, sfuggito miracolosamente quindici anni prima ai flutti pericolosi del Mar Adriatico.

Insieme si dirigono a Malta dove salvano dalla miseria i figli del pescatore di Rovigno che in passato aveva ospitato nella sua abitazione i due ricercati fuggiti dalla fortezza di Pisino.

Nel frattempo a Ragusa la figlia di Silas Toronthal si oppone con tutta la sua forza all'imminente matrimonio ma, in seguito alla misteriosa morte della madre, sua unica sostenitrice, è costretta dal padre a fuggire in un luogo sconosciuto. Anche la signora Báthory viene portata via da Ragusa dal maggiordomo, perché aveva perso il senno dopo aver letto una lettera scritta dalla stessa signora Toronthal.

Scoprono quindi, sulla stessa isola, Carpena, lo spagnolo traditore, che arruolava banditi per Zirone, il complice di Sarcany. Punta Pescade riesce a farsi arruolare e sotto copertura giunge fino in Sicilia con lui.

Insieme al Conte Sandorf elabora un piano per prendere prigioniero Zirone, interrogarlo e scoprire dove era fuggito Sarcany, scappato da Ragusa insieme al banchiere ed alla figlia.

Zirone però è ucciso accidentalmente da Capo Matifu e Carpena viene fatto prigioniero in Spagna, dove era ricercato, e rinchiuso a Ceuta.

Qui il dottor Antekirtt attraverso l'ipnosi riesce a far evadere Carpena, che viene interrogato nell'isola di Antekirtta, la colonia fondata dal dottore.

Qui Carpena svela il luogo di rifugio del banchiere e di Sarcany: si trovano a Montecarlo, dove nel frattempo hanno dissipato l'intero patrimonio di Toronthal a causa del gioco d'azzardo. Quest'ultimo viene catturato da Mathias Sandorf ma il suo complice riesce a sfuggire.

Dopo essere entrato in possesso anche del secondo traditore il conte scopre finalmente la posizione della signora Báthory e la trova in condizioni disperate a Tunisi.

Dopo molti tentativi riesce a farle tornare la ragione tanto da farle svelare il contenuto di quella lettera: Sava Toronthal in realtà era la figlia scomparsa di Mathias Sandorf, che avrebbe ereditato la parte rimanente delle ricchezze sequestrate al padre dalla polizia austriaca.

Dopo aver sottoposto anche Silas Toronthal ad un lungo interrogatorio scoprono il rifugio di Sarcany, che teneva prigioniera con sé Sava: a Tetuan. Qui però non trovano nessuno ma seguendo le tracce di una carovana partita poco tempo prima giungono fino in Tripolitania dove finalmente trovano Sarcany che, alleatosi con una setta terroristica del luogo, i Senussiti, progetta l'invasione dell'isola di Antekirtta.

Grazie alle abilità di Capo Matifu e Punta Pescade, Sava viene sottratta ai terroristi e portata nella colonia.
Passano mesi ed il matrimonio tra Sava Sandorf e Pierre Báthory è pronto.

Ad interrompere la gioia di Antekirtta sono i Senussiti che tentano di invadere l'isola; grazie però al valore degli abitanti e all'efficienza dei nuovi sistemi di difesa i terroristi vengono fermati e Sarcany catturato.

I tre delatori sono finalmente riuniti nelle mani di uno degli uomini che loro stessi avevano tradito: Mathias Sandorf. In attesa di decidere la sorte dei prigionieri egli li portò su un'isoletta disabitata, dotata da lui stesso, in passato, di un sistema elettrico di autodistruzione nel caso in cui da Antekirtta fosse dato il comando per motivi di sicurezza.

I fatti però seguirono una strada diversa, durante la notte, infatti, l'isoletta viene distrutta e con sé i suoi tre ospiti, a causa di un malfunzionamento del circuito elettrico.

È la sorte quindi a privare il conte Sandorf della pesante responsabilità di vendetta ed egli accetta comunque gli avvenimenti.

Il tanto atteso matrimonio è celebrato e Antekirtta diviene una fiorente colonia patria di scoperte scientifiche e di tanti nuovi europei alla ricerca di una nuova casa.

Nabi Saleh Stands with Khader Adnan
By Popular Struggle Coordination Committee: 11 February 2012
Khader Adnan, a 33 year-old Palestinian, has been on hunger strike since mid December, shortly after he was put in administrative detention based on secret evidence. Residents of Nabi Saleh march in solidarity.
Residents of Nabi Saleh, joined by Palestinian, Israeli and international activists, devoted their weekly Friday demonstration to support Khader Adnan.
Protesters held signs and pictures of Adnan, as they marched from the center of the village towards the confiscated lands. Demonstrators were met by volleys of tear-gas canisters. Heavy fog made it extremely difficult to trace the lines of fire and avoid injuries. Nonetheless, the army continued aiming directly at protesters. The Israeli Border Police also used the "skunk", a water cannon spraying foul smelling liquid.
Following this assault, protesters created small rock barricades at the entrance to the village, aiming to prevent a deeper Israeli incursion. Others climbed the hilltops, overlooking the spring grabbed by Halamish settlers. Israeli soldiers followed, shooting sound bombs, tear-gas canisters and rubber-coated metal bullets directly at people and into houses. Some youths threw stones to ward off the soldiers. As they were retreating, soldiers shot a few live bullets above the heads of civilians.
The demonstration maintained for a number of hours. Around 4PM an Israeli military jeep carrying multiple-barrels cannon shot massive amounts of tear-gas that covered a large part of the village. The "skunk" was also used once more, more massively than before. Many suffered from gas inhalation and a few were injured from direct hit by tear gas canisters, among them a Turkish cameraman who was evacuated to a hospital with a suspected fracture.
Khader Adnan, 33, has been refusing to eat since mid-December, shortly after his arrest in the occupied West Bank, and has only drunk liquids since then. "He is not in good shape. People on a hunger strike for more than 50 days are in real danger. The doctors are extremely concerned," said Yael Shavit, spokeswoman for Sieff Hospital in the northern Israeli town of Safed, where Adnan has been taken. "He refuses to accept any treatment. He has not agreed to be hooked up to an IV," she said, referring to intravenous infusion. Despite his grave medical condition, Israeli military authorities have once again postponed action on Khader Adnan's appeal against his four-month "administrative detention" – without charge or trial. One of the lawyers representing Adnan, Tamar Peleg-Sryck, said after the appeal: "It should be made clear that he is alleged of political opinions and political activities, without a hint of any sort of violence. However the army follows Shabaq (General Security Service) claim that he "endangers the security" and should remain in detention."

Logged onto the Runners World website to find everyone had received their London Marathon packs today so dashed home in anticipation. I was well aware that the odds were not in my favour – this was the third year I'd applied. Was it to be 3 times lucky? Was 2013 'my' year?
I could see a package had arrived through the frosted glass of the front door, but not the size of it. Did it include an item of 'You're Rejected' clothing? Or was I to be one of the chosen few, to be despised on the running forums for my luck and subjected to "Why her, not me?" whispers at the running club?
Holding my breath, I opened the door to the porch. I could tell straight away it was a bulky pack. No suspense there. I had been Elvis-ed.
We seem to have started a VLM rejection club on Twitter. We're having support meetings and everything. Even have a uniform. White jackets with the VLM logo.

TBI Blogs: How a Unique & Replicable Solution Lit up the Remotest Corners of Rural Maharashtra!
Gram Oorja created a rural micro-grid with hybrid power sources funded by corporate charity to help bring power to remote rural areas.
Ecoideaz
Blog / Maharashtra / Social Enterprise
The power crisis in India has become a chronic one, affecting both industries in urban areas and farming communities in rural areas. However, this problem is more acute in rural areas due to their remote inaccessible locations. It is extremely difficult to transport grid power to distant villages as power wastage drastically increases with the length of the electric lines, due to transmission and distribution losses. Infrequent, unstable, or absolutely no electricity supply to rural areas is one of the challenges in the power sector that India needs to address in order to work towards becoming a fully developed country.
Gram Oorja, a social enterprise based in Pune, seriously pondered about this crisis. Remote villages are inaccessible, so there is a higher cost in laying power lines. Villagers are poor, so they cannot pay power bills. Government schemes are ineffective since power supply is always in deficit. They felt that corporate CSR programmes can fund such economically unviable projects, but villagers tend to misuse any equipment given to them in charity.
Further, one solution like solar power cannot provide power throughout the day.
The answer was found in micro power grids managed by local enterprises. If a village produces its own power, distributes it to households, and collects revenue to be sustainable, that would be a better model for rural electrification. So the Gram Oorja team of Anshuman Lath, Sameer Nair, Prasad Kulkarni, and Rahul Singh created an interesting model of corporate-social partnership that could solve this peculiar problem. They created a micro grid with hybrid power sources with funding from corporate charity funds.
The first village chosen for intervention was Darewadi, a picturesque hamlet nestled in the Sahyadri Mountains in Maharashtra. Darewadi was a tiny remote hamlet of just 39 households and 220 people, 140 km. from Pune, and 2 km. away from a motorable road. Gram Oorja convinced Bosch Solar Energy AG to fund this pilot project to establish a business model that works efficiently, and is sustainable as well. Shakti Foundation was the nodal NGO that provided consultation and guidance.
So Gram Oorja set up a decentralized solar power plant with a capacity of 9.4 kilowatts in 2012. The company also set up a biogas unit as backup power provider when sunlight was not available. Further, a central battery bank and an inverter managed power fluctuations, leading to better load management. Maintenance of this system is done centrally, so that it is cost-effective.
In order to ensure that villagers have a sense of ownership of the project, Gram Oorja encouraged them to participate in setting up the unit and managing it every day. It also created a village trust in Darewadi to supply power to households and collect bills every month. Apart from electrifying households, the micro-grid also provides power to a flour grinding mill and two water pumps.
The village trust manages these, depositing their revenue in a bank account as a corpus fund.
The Darewadi model of Build-Operate-Transfer proved beyond doubt that a hybrid micro-grid can function in a decentralized manner without any government intervention. Emboldened by this result, Gram Oorja soon rolled out this model in more than 10 villages in rural Maharashtra. Apart from power grids, the enterprise has also set up a biogas cooking grid in Kolvan village in Mulshi, Pune district. Each of these micro-grid projects cost around ₹2.5-3 million, which power bill revenues compensate over a period of 5-7 years.
Recently, Gram Oorja tied up with Bank of America to provide light and electricity through two solar micro-grid projects for the villagers of Humranpada and Vanvasipada. These projects catered to the energy need of 63 households and the enterprise successfully completed them in May 2016. Further, the bank helped Gram Oorja in implementing three solar PV-based micro-grid projects. These set up in Rangubeli Panchayat under the Dharni Tehshil in November 2016 and March 2017.
The 30.42 kW micro-grid now successfully provides electricity for lighting and power to over 140 households in the villages.
Gram Oorja has also implemented a biogas cooking grid at Gawaliwada for 14 households as a demonstration project. Gawaliwada is a village in the Mulshi block of Pune district, where dairy farming is the main occupation.
At present, the Gram Oorja micro-grid has an installed capacity of 45.7 kW, serving 230 households across 10 villages. This is courtesy charity foundations who have funded the company. Prominent contributors include Bosch Solar, Sir Dorab Tata Trust, ICICI Bank, Rotary Club, and Grundfos Foundation. The Build-Operate-Transfer model has been successful in numerous mega infrastructure projects, hence proving to be a great solution. Now the big question is – why can't we implement this model to create micro-grids for providing power to faraway villages?

Cops throw book at Joey
Cayman News | 10/04/2013
(CNS): Despite his continuing protestations of innocence, the former MD of the Electricity Regulatory Authority and candidate for North Side has been charge with 29 different counts of theft and fraud related offences during his short time as the ERA boss. Joeseph 'Joey' Ebanks has been bailed to return to court on 16 April to answer the multiple dishonesty charges. The controversial character, who is also facing a number of civil legal threats as a result of the allegations he has been making on his Facebook page, answered bail on Tuesday morning as required, the police said. He was then charged by officers from the Financial Crimes Unit, as Ebanks had predicted.
The 49-year-old would-be politician was arrested in the Pedro area on Wednesday6 March on suspicion of abuse of office, theft and suspicion of possession of a drug utensil, shortly after he was suspended from his job at the public authority when a number of financial irregularities turned up in a public audit.
Ebanks has categorically denied the allegations, which he says are all part of a conspiracy against him as a result of his efforts to expose corruption.
However, he has been charged with eight counts of obtaining property by deception, seven counts of theft, one count of obtaining a money transfer by deception, one count of transferring criminal property, nine counts of making a document without authority, one count of obtaining property by deception and two counts of forgery.
No charges have been laid in relation to the drug utensil.

Whārangi 8. Tea and coffee
Coffee and tea consumption
Thermette
Tea was the hot drink of choice from colonial times and for most of the 20th century. Consumption was around three kilograms per person until the 1970s, when its use declined. In 1980 consumption was around two kilograms per person – the same as coffee. By the early 2000s yearly consumption was down to about one kilogram per person.
Tea companies buy tea leaf from different countries and blend it to ensure the flavour is consistent. Tea is sold either as leaf tea, or packed into teabags, which each contain about two grams of tea. Teabags were introduced to New Zealand in 1969.
I want it for the tin
During the First World War a one-pound Bell Tea tin had exactly the right dimensions to be sent to troops overseas at a special postal rate. Friends and relatives bought the tea, emptied the tins, and packed them with food and other small items to post away. Bell struggled to keep up with demand. New Zealanders at the front lines left a trail of Bell Tea tins behind them.
The Bell Tea Company was founded by Norman Harper Bell, after he arrived in Dunedin from Melbourne in 1898. Bell took over the Amber Tips brand in 1963, and the Edglets and Tiger Tea brands in 1969. In the early 2000s the Choysa and Bushell's brands were owned by Unilever Australasia.
Quick brew
In the 20th century picnickers and travellers brewed tea outdoors, often boiling water from a stream nearby in a thermette – a metal container for water with a cavity underneath, in which a fire was lit.
Herbal teas are made from a wide range of plants. They grew in popularity in the 20th century. They do not contain caffeine, and many claim health benefits.
Coffee consumption increased with the arrival of European refugees and American servicemen in the 1940s. The introduction of instant coffee in the 1960s boosted its popularity further. By the 1980s, a cup of coffee usually meant 'instant' (80–90% of coffee sold).
The smell of coffee in the morning
In Cuba Street, Wellington, in 1926, Albert Fagg used the smell of roasting coffee to lure patrons into his shop. He also threw beans onto the footpath outside the shop, so when crushed by passers by, the delicious aroma would be released.
The use of instant coffee declined with the growth of cafés using ground coffee beans and espresso machines. The urban café culture created a big demand for freshly brewed coffee. Many new roasters were set up, and there was a proliferation of cafés and coffee kiosks in city streets.
Coffee manufacturers purchase beans grown overseas, then roast and blend them to make the desired flavours. Roasted coffee beans change from green to dark brown, and the flavours intensify. The time and temperature of the roast influences the eventual taste of the coffee. Roasted coffee beans have a shorter shelf-life than green beans, and roasting is ideally carried out close to where the coffee will be drunk. Beans are packaged and sold either whole or pre-ground.
Instant coffee is made by extracting coffee from the ground beans with hot water then freeze- or spray-drying to obtain the powder.

Cacodemons and eyes of devastation don't dig with energy bolts anymore; they stopped in commit 85f13f00f2816064f2b3d4dc3b800213a65987e2 which also stopped IOOD digging rock.
The conversation moved to mantis, but we fixed this save manually before most of the followups in this thread (by editing the save to move the player to a location outside of the vault). I did check their inventory first in case there were any unexpected ways of getting out, and didn't come up with anything.

Impact-abrasion wear of wear-resistant steels at perpendicular and tilted angles
V. Ratia (Corresponding Author), Kati Valtonen, Veli-Tapani Kuokkala
Not published at VTT
Earth moving and processing machinery has to withstand heavy wear caused by impacts and scratching by the soil. Especially, the edges are subjected to heavy wear. To simulate these conditions, impeller-tumbler impact-abrasion wear testing equipment was used to determine the wear resistance of four steel grades at perpendicular and tilted sample angles. The angles were selected to simulate the loading conditions. Natural granite rock was used as abrasive. The amount of wear was clearly smaller in the harder materials. The significance of hardness was quite similar at both sample angles in the steady-state wear of wear-resistant steels. On the initial state wear, hardness had a slightly greater effect at the perpendicular angle due to more severe wear in sample edges already at the beginning of the test. Overall, the largest differences in wear were observed in the sample edges. At the perpendicular sample angle, the sample edges were much more rounded. Some small differences were observed in the surface formations due to dissimilar movement of the abrasive. Deformed surfaces and fractured lips indicated that wear occurred mainly by the deformation of material followed by the removal of the deformed areas through impacts. In addition, scratches and dents were observed. It was found that larger sized abrasives caused higher mass loss than abrasives of similar mass but smaller size. Moreover, same amount of abrasive particles in each test reduces the scatter of the results.

Q: Local Binary Patterns for 3D images. - MATLAB Matlab's extractLBPFeatures (from R2015b) works only on 2D images but I need to extract Local Binary Pattern features from a CT image (3D).
There are other implementation available for 2D version for LBP extractions... Is it possible to modify 2D to 3D without losing sanity? ex of 2D algo: http://www.cse.oulu.fi/CMV/Downloads/LBPMatlab
If someone come across a program/algo that can work on 3D images, please share.

A: It does not exist a definition of LBP in 3D, only in 2D, for the simple reason that it's not clear which path follow to go around the voxel and and create the code.
However, you can compute the LBP code for each plan XY, XZ and YZ. So each voxel will generate three codes instead of one.

Q: Abstracting two downstream API Recently I was asked to create:

a web service that abstracts away two downstream APIs;

But I'm confused by the question as from my understanding of the subject matters turns the question in to kind of a contradiction for me.
As Abstracting is the creation of something that is not dependantent on anything el's  and only expose the data that needs to be exposed.
While Down streaming is the usage of other existing software in your own direction or for your own purpose in essence the usage of Open Source to create your own software.
The issue being that in order for me to create a Web Service that consumes 2 Web API I would be making my Web Service Dependent on those API.
I wonder if someone could clarify what is meant by this exactly:?

you are tasked with implementing an OpenAPI (formerly Swagger)
compliant web service that abstracts away two downstream APIs;


thanks for that from all the toon fans ian for what you said on twitter, you don't have to quote fact's to beat a fool like him (don't even want to mention his name).
Has he been slagging off our great leader by any chance ?
Newcastle fans will know there were times when it was terrible what was going on with him and he was a Mike Ashley man if we're going to go deep into it but the fact is he is someone I've known since 1983/84 and "I'm not saying I'm backing him and some of the poor displays at Newcastle because he's a friend but if you're in the media and you've got someone like that you can't hammer him. You can't put him away.
