A young documentary filmmaker is making a movie about a teacher accused of having an affair with his student. Aware of the consequences that both sides of the case, which gained a lot of media attention, have already suffered and will suffer in the future, she is trying to rebuild their trust, launching a thorough investigation into all aspects of the situation. At the same time, at the school she is teaching in, she is observing Mei, a girl who is clearly having problems at home.
Do truth and justice have the same meaning when it comes to borderline dilemmas about strangers and our loved ones? What is the role of the media, entangled in the dependencies on clicks, reaches, and catchy topics? How to help using legal tools and without unnecessary publicity? This searching, insightful film is a story hitting many sensitive notes, exploring the relationship between the law and the public, but also between ethical duties and the need to protect yourself and the people you love. Harumoto once again proves that he is one of the most interesting Japanese directors of the young generation. The author of the insightful "Going the Distance" (13th Five Flavours) is, once again, awarded for a balanced, apt analysis of the reality of his motherland.

I have 5 year old twins currently working on Andantino and below. We are very good about getting a daily practice in and the kids don't complain that much about doing it per se.
The issue I'm running into is that whereas my son will just do the practice and take corrections in stride, my daughter will be a little passive aggressive if she's not feeling the practice session and have her violin sliding off her shoulder or hold her bow in a way she knows she shouldn't.
The worst thing though is that if I dare to stop her playing or correct something. She will either ignore me or just start bawling! Clearly she isn't as into practice as her brother. She just wants to get it done and wants to run through the songs and exercises as quickly as possible. I get that, that was me as a child.
When she acts like that I have a hard time keeping calm and positive and I get quite agitated which only makes the situation worse and the practice session longer.
What could have been 30 minutes of practice turn into 60 miutes of practice/crying/ finish this song or you won't get read a story!
I really want to make this a positve experience for her and I recognise that it's me that lacks the skills to make it a fun and wonderful learning experience. I am no teacher and I don't have the best patience.
I deal with same sort of thing, only it's my daughter that does her practicing and my boys I struggle with.
Pick only one thing to focus on for the entire practice. Or let her pick it. You can control this a little bit too. Give her a choice between two or three. Like bent thumb on the bowhold, straight bow on the highway, or making sure a particular finger always lands on the right tape, etc. If your teacher is giving you regular feed back on different posture points, use those. Let her change or switch it each day.
Make cards of all the pieces/activites you need to accomplish. Lay them out and let her pick what you work on next. Put the ones you finish in a different pile. Help her visualize where she is in her practice…if she's almost finidhed or not. This can be especially helpful if there have been really long practices…because she never knows if this is going to be a fast one or a "forever" one.
Sometimes you can throw one or two fun ones in. Like playing a piece in an unusual location or way (like bow upside down, or walking). Or a different activity like snuggling while listening to one of the pieces, or jumping jacks. Throw a tiny snack, bathroom break, etc. in there. Get creative. www.thepracticeshoppe.com has some great ideas and printable practice sheets. Check it out.
Decide how many times you will do something well. (We like to do 5…unless the teacher specifically says differently.) Pick a small section. Demonstrate or make sure she understands the goal for this passage. Have her perform the passage, then ask her how it went. Did it count? Rules: Both of you have to agree. And, if she doesn't know…or wasn't paying attention….then it doesn't count. Even if it was good. Because the goal with this game is active attentive participation. She has to play it 5 times correct or well before she can stop. If after several tries she hasn't been successful it playing correctly, it's too hard. Re-evaluate the passage. Break it down. Make it easier. The goal of practicing is to make things easy. (Sometimes you can up the game by changing the rules to 5 times correct in a row. But, I wouldn't start there.) Use fun toys so she can visually see how many times she has left.
Lastly, always remember tomorrow is a new practice day. A new chance/opportunity. You're practicing too. Things will get better. You're doing great!
First of all, I love Rebecca's ideas. And mine were going to be very similar. When I have students who express this type of problem I usually suggest 2 different things (both opposites believe it or not) which on works depends on the students personality.
1—practice is 30 min. long no matter what. Set a timer. Have a clear list from your teacher as to what needs to be practiced that week and check things off as they are accomplished. The more detail here the better. Good examples for the list might be. first, Play the hopping 3 part of song of the wind 5 times with mister 3 landing on the tip. next, Play long long ago with a good bow-hold the whole time—stop if bow-hold slips. Mom can lay on the floor to get a good view (kids love this). etc. when the timer dings the practice is over. If there was lots of crying and wasting time that does not make the practice any longer, just less was accomplished. If there is anything on the list that was not checked off then that is where you start on day 2.
2—there is no time length to the practice but instead a list of what must be done in one day. (again very detailed) and if everything is accomplished with a good attitude and effort then the practice might be as little as 10 min. But the more complaining or "down time" (crying etc.) that happens the longer the practice will be. BUT there should always be a limit to this. Anything over an hour at this level is not good for the student or parents nerves and a simple "well, I have to make dinner now" can end the practice without negativity if necessary.
As a parent with one violin student who started at age 4 and the other at age 6, I've seen my share of tears, tantrums, foot-dragging, whining, lolli-gagging, etc. All I can say, is, just be patient and unwaveringly consistent. Set a violin practice time and then stick to it—for years.
When they cry, whine, etc. don't get mad—remember they're allow to have feelings, too. Just don't feed those emotions—don't allow those emotions to "pay off" for the child with a delay in practice, etc. Don't give it credence by reacting to it.
I have a practice rule: "No leaking on the violins." (The term "leaking" came from a Transformers Animated episode in which Sari is crying and Bumblebee remarks that's she's "leaking" on Optimus Prime, whose spark has just extinguished. ) Which is to say, the emotion of wanting to cry is legitimate, but if they're going to cry, they have to put the violin down and then do their crying. Learning to play is a long, sometimes painful growth process; it's frustrating and downright scary (from your child's perspective) sometimes. There are going to be tears. But by putting the violin down, I've found it removes the source of the frustration / anger / fear etc. right away, and the tears stop flowing pretty quickly. Once they're composed, they can pick the violin up again.
And I'm going to get lambasted by teachers everywhere for saying this—but chocolate helps. For what seemed like the longest time, the motivating factor to do a violin practice in our home was "chocolate challenge"—do something 10 times in a row correctly, get a Wilbur bud—the equivalent of a Hershey's kiss. Hey, it worked and it didn't produce choco-holics, either. They practice now, with little or no prodding or reward (other than the joy of playing itself), 5-days a week.
Which is all any parent can ask, right?
All good ideas. I suppose I just have to work on not feeding the tantrum and not getting angry, last night's practice went very well.
One question might be this: What would have helped YOU as a child? What would you have wanted from a parent when you were in that situation?
One thing I have found helpful in my studio recently is a "Working Together Jar." It's pretty basic! You'll need a jar and something to put in it (noodles, tokens, etc). Each time you notice her working cooperatively during practice, you would place a token in the jar. Before you start, have a talk with your child about what you need to do to have a good practice together. Explain the jar and have her pick something she'll get or do when the jar is full (a trip to the zoo, an ice-cream sundae, a new toy). I would do this sometime other than practice time. You can get the jar ready when you are both in a good mood and not around the source of your angst! That way it's in place and ready to go ahead of time.
This jar has been great for other things. For example, I had a student who didn't want mom's help during practice. They are now working together well and the jar is nearly full. They may need to do a second jar, but they also may not need to. The goal is to create a habit of cooperation!
I clicked on this link because I was going to suggest you pick up a copy of Edmund Sprunger's book "Helping Parents Practice". I'm glad to see he has commented her :-) My son has been taking lessons since he was 5 and he just turned 11 and it has helped me through many years. It is nice to re-read it at times or reference parts that are helpful for the different "phases" my son might be going through.
Also, make sure you aren't trying to fix everything at one time. This is one way of frustrating a kid very quickly22. For example, if you are working on her playing a couple of measures from memory don't nag her about her straight bowing, thumb bump, curved pinky, and everything else possible all at one time. I know this is hard because technique is super important, but I have been told by many professionals to stay away from doing this and it is very good advice. We have to pick and choose our battles. Ultimately, nothing can be accomplished with a miserable kid and parent.
I try not to get myself into situations where we are pressed for time too much. I used to get particularly stressed when I saved practicing for the end of the day when we only had 30 minutes and then shower/bath time. Now I have him start much earlier while I am doing other things like cooking dinner so if achieving all of the practice objectives takes an hour and a half I don't feel so stressed or tired and therefore more prone to express frustration. If we are absolutely pressed for time then I pick ONE or TWO realistic objectives and focus on those only. Then I try to make it playful so he can focus on achieving the objective. The one objective might be just a few notes we have to fix or "make easier" to play correctly or an exercise like properly doing vibrato. My best advice would be to try your best to avoid times/situations that may cause your frustration to get more spread thin.
For slowing him down I use practice aides also. He would rush through everything too :-) You can't argue with a timer, the metronome, or the amazing slow downer…so we use those things. Those items allow me to set the pace and minimize the argument—will he argue with me at times about using those things? Most certainly, but they help define "slow down" instead of it being some vague instruction. He can handle the metronome being set at 60 or the amazing slow downer being set at 50%, but I've noticed he doesn't handle "slow down" very well :-) Make sure you are clearly defining your instructions/expectations for her. One of the most frustrating things for an individual is not truly understanding what is expected of them. A lot of times kids don't know how to express this….even the ones who have superior or very mature communication skills. They aren't going to say "mommy I don't know what you mean when you say slow down" or "please describe to me what good intonation means". :-) Often times they are thinking "I did slow down" or "I played those notes well enough". Because this is what they truly believe, not because they are trying to be fussy.
When he was little one of the things we did was "slow motion" practice too. I had a button I would hit and we would both move in slow motion. I would continue to hit the button multiple times to speed up gradually. He thought it was a game, I was using it to fix stuff.
Okay, that is all I have for now. I'm sorry it is so long. I hope I have at least mentioned one thing that will help. I understand how challenging staying positive can be. One of the reason why I enjoy going to the summer institutes is because I always overhear other parents negotiating practice times with their children as well. It feels good to know we have the same experience.
I just wanted to thank everyone for their extremely helpful feedback. Practices are going 100% better and she has a much better attitude. It turns out I wasn't communicating what she needed to do effectively enough. She really didn't get I wanted. She also wanted me to physically show her how to do whatever it was I was asking her to do, more often than I originally though she needed but I get that she is a visual learner.
I'm also trying to focus on only one thing a lesson (like keepin her bow straight). I was fustrating her because I was nitpicking all of the little techniques she was supposed to know.
Now when I correct her she just says she'd like to try it again and doesn't get upset. She has noticed the lesson is much quicker and everyone is happier. I heap praise on her when she doesn't throw a fit. Again thank you, thank you, thank you.


If your favorite decade is the 1950s and all things that came from it (satellites, Sandra Dee, and blue-suede shoes) then you're going to want to be in Las Vegas on April 17-20, 2014. That's when the world's biggest Rockabilly party will be going on. Viva Las Vegas? You betcha, Daddy-O!
So you may ask, "What is the Viva Las Vegas Rockabillly Weekender?" HOT ROD is happy to clue you in. According to VivaLasVegas.net, this largest of Rockabillly festivals attracts 20,000 attendees to The Orleans Hotel and Casino for four days of non-stop music, hot rods, burlesque, and partying. Folks from Europe and Japan and even some from South America fly over to join the revelry. Over 60 bands – some world-famous – and dozens of hep deejays will be on hand to keep you on your feet while dressed to the nines your way-out threads.
But it's the hot rod show that's captured our interest, as the Weekender hosts North America's biggest pre-1960-era car show, where you'll find hundreds of hot rods and vendors supporting the hot rod lifestyle selling vintage and reproduction tchotchkes.
Both HOT ROD and HOT ROD Deluxe are proud sponsors, and the cats on our staff attended VLV last year and had a blast. Before you know it, April will be here, so reserve your room now because some host hotels are already sold out!

Q: How are discrete time systems (with negative indices) represented in numpy? So I'm trying to represent discrete time systems in numpy, which means some elements in the array may have negative indices, for eg.

n
x[n]

-2
4

-1
5

0
3

1
1

For the array described above, x[-2] = 4 and x[-1] = 5. This would work kind of like a dictionary. Is there any way to implement this in numpy? I understand that I can just shift everything 2 spots and shift it back when doing the operations, I'm just wondering if there is any other ideal way of dealing with this.

A: Exactly for this sort of thing there is pandas. It's build on numpy, is very similar in many regards and should do what you want.
import pandas as pd

index = [-2, -1, 0, 1]
data = [4, 5, 3, 1]

df = pd.DataFrame({'x[n]':data},index=index)

Gives you
    x[n]
-2     4
-1     5
 0     3
 1     1

And you can use it similar to numpy e.g.
df.loc[-2:-1]

gives you
    x[n]
-2     4
-1     5

Here is all you need to know about Bahrain's nanosatellite Light-1

BAHRAIN launched its first-ever satellite yesterday, making history, and advancing the kingdom's fledgling space science sector.
The nanosatellite Light-1 was launched aboard the SpaceX Falcon-9 CRS-24 at 1.07pm Bahrain time, from the Nasa Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida, US and will dock at the International Space Station (ISS) today around 12.30pm Bahrain time. It was put together by a 40-person team, of whom nine were Bahraini.
The Light-1 satellite – a joint project between Bahrain's National Space Science Agency (NSSA), UAE Space Agency, Khalifa University and New York University Abu Dhabi – will be used to conduct research during lightning storms, that will help civil aviation safety experts in future.
"This joint project started with an idea in 2018 and became a reality that carried Light-1 into space," NSSA chairman and Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed said.
"Our joint nanosatellite will support global efforts to measure terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGRs) and advance our understanding of how they affect human health and aviation.
"The project is a model for scientific and technological co-operation, one that serves humanity by peacefully leveraging space for the good of humankind."
Alongside the nanosatellite aboard the Dragon-9 capsule are Christmas gifts and dinners for ISS astronauts as well as 500 research experiments, including a fully biodegradable detergent aimed at reducing water usage and a handheld bandage bioprinter.
The Light-1 satellite was named after His Majesty King Hamad's book, First Light.
The Dragon-9 SpaceX rocket took off yesterday at 5.07am Eastern Standard Time (EST) at exactly eight seconds past the minute. The precise second will prove to be crucial today as it autonomously docks at the ISS within a one-second window.
This was the final SpaceX Falcon-9 mission of the year, and Bahrain's 5.25kg 3U CubeSat is part of a 3,000-kg cargo resupply mission aboard the capsule.
The Dragon capsule will head towards the International Space Station's Japanese Experiment Module, nicknamed Kibo, from where the Light-1 satellite will be deployed into orbit. The capsule will be docked at the ISS for a month before returning.
In a Press briefing prior to the launch, UAE Space Agency space projects chief Abdullah Al Marar said projects like the Light-1 satellite usually cost "between three million and 6m UAE dirhams" (BD300,000-BD600,000).
Bahraini space scientists that built 75 per cent of 'Light-1' were Aysha Al Haram, Ali Al Qaraan, Ashraf Khater, Amina Al Balooshi, Yaqoob Al Qassab, Ahmed Bushlaibi, Ali Al Mahmood, Ahmed Al Buainain and Ebrahim Al Mansoori.
Light-1's chief mission is to observe TGRs produced through thunderstorms, and study their effects on the atmosphere and on humans. TGRs are emitted for mere milliseconds during lightning.
The spacecraft will be equipped with two sensors to detect and measure TGRs. Because the gamma rays can penetrate aeroplane fuselages, the data could be used to design safety measures to protect those on board.
The nanosatellite – approximately 10cm x 10cm x 34.5cm in size – will be in orbit at an altitude of 400km, at an orbital incline of 51.6 degrees.
Its transceiver uses an ultra-high frequency (UHF) band, with a secondary S-Band for downloading large amounts of data transmitted to three ground stations in Abu Dhabi, Denmark and Lithuania.
The data will be co-owned by participating space agencies, with plans to make it public through the Open Universe programme, New York University Abu Dhabi Centre for Astro, Particle and Planetary Physics professor Francesco Arneodo told the GDN.
"The main goal of this project is to encourage collaboration between space agencies and we are hoping that the first-of-their-kind studies emerging from this mission encourage more countries to work together in harmony."

+ When the slideshow is set to auto-rotate this setting determines how long each slide is shown to the end user before rotating to the next slide. By default this is set to 7 seconds.  Two considerations should be kept in mind when choosing a time. The first is how dense is the information in each slide.  If it takes 30 seconds to read each slide then it would be frustrating to set this value to the default.  The second consideration is the load time of each slide.  The Slideshow form does not load all of the slides when it is first rendered it continuously loads the next slide in the background when displaying a slide.  There for if it takes 3 seconds to load a slide setting the auto-rotate value to less that that will cause the end user to see a loading message instead of a slide.


Bumrah was the shining light for India with the ball as they won a historic Test series against Australia on Monday.
India T20I squad for New Zealand: Kohli (c), Sharma (vc), Rahul, Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Karthik, Jadhav, Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Yadav, Chahal, Kumar, Siraj, Ahmed, Siddarth Kaul.
Bumrah has been rested for the 3-match T20I series against New Zealand as well, a BCCI release said on Tuesday.
India squad for the ODIs against Australia and New Zealand: Virat Kohli (capt), Rohit Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik, Kedar Jadhav, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammed Shami.
Mohammed Siraj, a right-arm seamer yet to make his one-day worldwide debut, will fill Bumrah's void in the Indian squad. The list for most overs bowled across the three formats in global cricket in 2018 was also led by Lyon (636.3) and Bumrah (511.3), but the India fast bowler led the wicket charts for the year with a tally of 78.
Update: Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for the upcoming ODI series against Australia and India's Tour of New Zealand. In fact, only Nathan Lyon (242.1) bowled more overs than him in the series.
India will host Australia in five ODI matches starting February 24 in Mohali, followed by two T20 games.
Siraj, who has played three T20Is, picked up seven wickets for Hyderabad in their last Ranji Trophy clash against Punjab.
New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi and fast bowler Lachlan Ferguson have moved up to become joint-31st position holders after their credible performances during a 3-0 sweep over Sri Lanka.
The second ODI will be played in Adelaide on 15 January before the tour ends in Melbourne on 18 January with the third match.
Following that, India travel to New Zealand for a 5-match ODI series, starting January 23.

Since its construction in 1919, this building began as a meat market, but has spent most of its time hosting shoe stores until Riddles Jewelry chose the site. The Central Meat Market resided here until the 1940s, followed by Goar's Shoe Store, The Cobbler, and Sheridan Shoe Company. Riddles Jewelry moved into this location in the 2000's.

Animals Spiders Page 1 of 1
Spiders are predatory invertebrate animals that have two body segments, eight legs, no chewing mouth parts and no wings. They are classified in the order Araneae, one of several orders within the larger class of arachnids, a group which also contains scorpions, whip scorpions, mites, ticks, and opiliones. The study of spiders is known as arachnology.
All spiders produce silk, a thin, strong protein strand extruded by the spider from spinnerets most commonly found on the end of the abdomen. Many species use it to trap insects in webs, although there are also many species that hunt freely. Silk can be used to aid in climbing, form smooth walls for burrows, build egg sacs, wrap prey, and temporarily hold sperm, among other applications.
All spiders except those in the families Uloboridae and Holarchaeidae, and in the suborder Mesothelae (together about 350 species); can inject venom to protect themselves or to kill and liquefy prey. Only about 200 species, however, have bites that can pose health problems to humans. Many larger species' bites may be quite painful, but will not produce lasting health concerns.
Spiders are found all over the world, from the tropics to the Arctic, living underwater in silken domes they supply with air, and on the tops of mountains.

A work trip took me back to Austin, Texas. I knew that there is an exciting food scene in Austin and I hoped to find some time to try a few new places. Time was limited as I only had two nights but we managed to find two cool spots that both happen to be located in historic landmarks.
We arrived into Austin on a Sunday evening and I was with a group of Australians. So the top of the list was to eat Texas barbecue. Our options were limited based on the time and day but it was recommended that we head to Freedmen's Bar. Located near the University of Texas, Freedmen's is a popular spot among college students.
Freedmen's is located in the building also known as the Franzetti Store. It was built in 1869 by a former slave named George Franklin and became one of Austin's freemen's settlements after the Civil War. Over the years, the building has served as a residence, a church, a publishing house and a grocery store. The restaurant is named Freedmen's in honor of those who established a tradition of community there.
After a long day of events, we snuck out for a quick break and walked a few blocks from the event venue and happened upon Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill. Built in 1952, it was originally a trading goods store known as the "Waterloo" compound. Later a saloon and domino parlor were added. In 2003, Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill opened, serving an innovative take on classic American comfort food.
With food as good as these two places, I am working on a list of other places to check out in Austin. Next trip to Austin, I will need more than two days!

Q: Differencing between model.addAttribute("name",value) and mv.addObject("name",value)? What differencing between
model.addAttribute("name",value)
and
mv.addObject("name",value) in spring-mvc?
model is Model
mv is ModelAndView

A: Model#addAttribute(String, Object) states

Add the supplied attribute under the supplied name.

while ModelAndView#addObject(String, Object) states

Add an attribute to the model.

If you look at the source code for addObject
public ModelAndView addObject(String attributeName, Object attributeValue) {
    getModelMap().addAttribute(attributeName, attributeValue);
    return this;
}

it's delegating to the Model reference that a ModelAndView holds and calling addAttribute() on it.

A: Model  is a holder for model attributes only.
ModelAndView is a holder for both Model and View , so that the controller can return both model and view together.


This super-efficient woodstove recharges your phone, camera, and other small USB-compatible devices. Via a thermocouple, heat from the flames converts to electricity and loads an internal battery to top up your gadgets. It also powers a 2-speed fan, running a stove so lean and mean that less than 60 grams of dry wood boils 1L of water in under 5 minutes. The BioLite CampStove happily burns twigs, pinecones, wood pellets, and other biomass. Keep your gizmos charged without endless hand cranking or worrying about cloudy days. Campers and preppers rejoice.
Maximum continuous power output for USB is 2W at 5V. Peak is 4W at 5V.
Charging times vary depending on the device and fire strength. For reference, 20 minutes of charge time typically powers an iPhone® 4S for 60 minutes of talk time.
Includes stove, fire-lighter, instructions, stuff sack, and USB cord for internal battery charging. USB cables for individual devices not included.
Battery requires initial charging via USB and recharging if the stove is not used for 6 months.
The BaseCamp is bigger than the CampStove and improved in many other ways. A side-loading fuel chamber lets you add wood without taking your pot off the flame. The dual-purpose cooking surface adjusts from boiling to grilling with a flame spreading lever. The internal battery runs the fan and banks power for future use when you're not charging devices. An LED dashboard helps you adjust the fire for the best charging efficiency for phones or other USB-chargeable device. Consider it essential gear for any well-appointed basecamp or bugout location.
Recharges most USB-chargeable devices, including smartphones.
Maximum output is 5W at 5V.
Charge times vary with strength of fire. Guidelines, based on a strong fire, are 30 minutes of charging = 5 hours talk time, or 5 hours video, or 20 hours of audio on a typical smartphone.
Internal 2200mAh Lithium-Ion battery powers a fan for maximum fuel burning efficiency and stores surplus generated electricity for future use.
Cooking area is 1384 cm², big enough for 8 burgers.
Flexible plug-in light helps you see what you're doing.
Fuel rack holds sticks up to 50cm long for easier fire feeding.
20cm fold-out legs let you adjust the work surface height and keep the unit off the ground in sensitive environments.
The BioLite Portable Grill provides a safe, seamless, and fun way to cook your favorite foods on the wood-burning BioLite CampStove. Convert your CampStove into a barbecue. The unique design allows you to keep sizzling while your fire keeps burning, all without the need for charcoal or propane.
355 square cm. of cooking area.
For grilling food only. Not for holding pots or pans.
For use with BioLite CampStove only. Will not work alone or with other stoves.
Bring a single piece of cookware without sacrificing functionality or space with the BioLite KettlePot. Whether you are making a pot of coffee to start your day or cooking a meal for four at the end of a long hike, the KettlePot is a true grab-and-go system. The KettlePot becomes an instant hard carrying case minimizing volume in your pack while protecting your CampStove.
Coated folding handles for secure carrying.
Heat-resistant BPA-free lid locks tightly to the pot with a silicone seal for spill-free pouring.
Includes a bowl that fits inside the pot, lid with a spout, and a stuff sack.
Dimensions are 13.2 x 26cm.
Inspired by the outdoors while also keeping you prepared at home, the KettleCharge provides off-grid power and potable water in a matter of minutes. Unlike solar panels, the KettleCharge is ready night or day, and at 10 watts, it will charge USB devices as fast as a wall outlet, even tablets.
An evolution of BioLite's core thermoelectric technology, the KettleCharge uses the water you boil to produce electricity. It works on a wide range of stoves and serves as a perfect personal-scale generator for your everyday devices. Just fill, heat, charge.
Powers most USB-chargeable devices, including tablets.
Includes an insulated USB extender to keep cords away from the heat.
USB power output of 10 Watts (5V, 2A).
Lithium iron phosphate battery with 1250mAh capacity.
15 minutes of charge provides approximately 5 hours of talk time, 5 hours of video, or 20 hours of audio (output varies by strength of heat source).


Welcome the Chapter 5 of our Ultimate Guide to Increasing Reader Engagement on Disqus! Catch up on the most recent chapter on promoting comments on external channels. Thanks!
A highly engaged audience can be a your most valuable asset. In this chapter, we'll explore strategies for fostering loyalty from new readers and retaining your most valuable audience members through incentives and recognition.
When featuring a comment, the comment is pinned to the top of the discussion. Commenters are notified when a comment they posted is featured by the site, closing the feedback loop for their interaction.
Not only does featuring top comments recognize readers' contributions, it leads to a boost in engagement. In a study conducted by the Center for Media Engagement examining comments posted on The New York Times, they found that users whose comments were selected as "NYT Picks" resulted in an increase in commenting behavior. Comments were selected by the moderation staff that contributed to the discussion, such as by steering the discussion in a productive direction or adding new information to the story.
If a commenter inspired a story idea with a thought-provoking question, take the opportunity to mention them directly in the story. Embedding their comment is simple and places higher visibility into the ongoing discussions happening across the community.
If you have an idea of who your top contributors are but would like to discover more, visit the Top Commenters tab on your site's comments section. Just select your site's name next to the comment count and switch to the Top Commenters list to see the readers that have contributed the most to discussions. This is also a good opportunity to visit their user profile to learn more about the communities they frequent as well as their areas of interest.
Once you've identified your top contributors, one of the easiest methods for recognizing them is to interview them. On Man Repeller, a fashion site for women, they interviewed five of their most prolific commenters and featured them on the site. These incredible stories brought color to the voices that make their comments section feel vibrant and friendly every day.
To see more examples like this, check out this profile from The New York Times and our own Commenter Spotlight series that featured commenters from communities all across the Disqus network.
As readers ascend the ranks into becoming highly engaged and loyal readers, empower them to take on leadership roles. By doing so, you begin to shift some of the work of managing a growing community to the community itself. This could include things like onboarding new readers, moderating comments, and referring new readers. By tapping into this group, you've designed a path towards scaling your community to new heights.
One tactic to empower readers is to add those with a track record of posting high-quality comments to your Trusted Users list. Trusted Users have the benefit of being able to post on discussions more freely without requiring moderation review. Not only does this reduce your moderation time by prioritizing your effort, this recognizes these readers for their contributions to your site and creates a model for other readers to aspire towards.
At Stack Overflow, developers share their knowledge and help each other learn programming. New members start with limited access to capabilities like voting, editing, and moderation. By answering questions effectively, supporting other members, and otherwise being a great citizen, members earn additional privileges over time that empower them to support the community in more impactful ways.
Today, this model has propelled Stack Overflow into becoming one of the largest Q&A sites on the web spanning topics that go far beyond just programming. By aligning incentives early on to support behavior that benefits the entire community, this helped scale their growth as more users joined the community, without diminishing the quality of the content.
In the final chapter in our guide to increasing reader engagement, we'll talk about optimizing the commenting experience on your site. Subscribe to our blog to get notified when it's available.
💬 Tell us how you plan on empowering your most engaged users to scale the growth of your community.

Designer Afa Tsang, was graduated in 2008, studying Fashion Design in Hong Kong, won the Gold Key Award in school and was a finalist of Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers' Contest 2008 and Young Talent Award. After graduation, she was working in a Hong Kong local brand as a fashion designer.
Afa believes that "your brand DNA is what distinguishes you from others". She describes her brand DNA as a mix of modern vintage style, color blocking, 20's art deco, and La Garçonne. Her signature design style is using geometric shapes and color blocking to create sculpted yet modern vintage, Art Deco look. You can see the core pieces feature flat chest loose-fit dresses with drop waist. The chosen fabrics and colors either evoke a nostalgic mood or come with very bold vintage prints.
Nostalgia and fashion blend beautifully, especially with Afa Tsangs' designs. Reliving old fashion with the new modern flare is an amazing take on the evolution of fashion as a whole.


In the last decades, the spectrum of autoimmune diabetes in adults has been enlarged by the discovery and characterization of so-called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). The definition of LADA stems from the observation that a large minority of individuals who had been diagnosed as having non-insulin dependent diabetes possessed antibodies, such as ICA and GADA, that were also found in in "classical" type 1 diabetes. It has become evident that the phenotype and the progression of dysmetabolism in LADA patients differs in several respects from that of both antibody-negative individuals with type 2 diabetes and of childhood or adolescence onset type 1 diabetes. Many studies on LADA have described phenotypes with characteristics in-between those of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. These observations have given rise to the nickname "diabetes 1.5" for LADA. However, the etiology, phenotype and optimal treatment of LADA have only partly been elucidated and have been the subject of sometimes intense debate. Yet, our understanding of this form of diabetes is steadily increasing. The aim of a symposium held April 21st 2017 in Trondheim, Norway, was to provide an update on selected features of LADA and also to discuss what should be desirable and feasible in terms of future research on LADA. The papers on LADA that are presented in his thematic issue are based on the presentations and discussions during the symposium and have been supplemented by findings that are even more recent. I hope that these review articles on LADA will be of interest and relevance to researchers on LADA as well as to diabetologists who are treating LADA patients.

Chen Style Taichi Introduction - The China Taichi Guide is a Directory of Tai Chi Schools & Tai Chi Teachers in China.
Chen Style Tai Chi is amazingly beautiful to do and to watch when performed well.
It is divided up into the Big Frame (Da Jia)and the Small Frame (Xiao Jia).
The Da Jia is much more common and is itself divided into two branches: the Old Frame (Lao Jia) or orginal style and the New Frame (Xin Jia) created by Chen Fake.
Chen Lao Jia and Xin Jia each consist of the First Way (Yi Lu) form which is more restrained and the Second Way (Er Lu) or Cannon form which is dramatically explosive.
There are many modern short forms derived from these root forms such as Chen Xiao Wang's 19 and 38 and Chen Zhen Lei's 18.
Chen 56, a difficult and demanding style was created from Chen Lao Jia and Chen Xin Jia and is often used in high level competitions in China.
There are also many weapon Tai Chi forms.
Chen Style Xinyi Hunyuan from Feng Zhi Qiang is growing more common now, a blend of Xin Jia, Xinyi and Hunyuan Qi Gong, it is valued for its health aspects, although is a complete martial art still.
Chen Xiao Jia, or the small circle form of Chen taichi, might have died out in the 1960's but it survived through three Chen family teachers and is now being taught more widely, with lineages in Chenjiagou, Kaifeng and Xian. Each have developed in different ways, but the essentials are the same.
The naming of the Chen Frames is misleading as is clarified in the Chinese poem, "the big form is not big, the small form not small".
In practice the essential difference between the big frame and small frame is the learning journey.
The big frame initially emphasizes outer movements, larger circles and a physically demanding lower stance to facilitate sinking. It progresses to greater subtlety using extensive Chan Si Jing exercises (Silk Reeling), Nei Gong (internal energy work) and Zhan Zhuang (standing qi gong / meditation), along with form practice.
The small frame emphasizes subtle movement of the abdominal dantian from the beginning with the body moving in a circular way in connection with it. The circles are naturally small most of the time, but can also be large as the body relaxes more deeply. Xiaojia also starts with a middle to high stance and encourages natural sinking with a little mind guidance like Yang. There is little requirement for additional silk reeling or other techniques as the form itself is sufficient.
In the end they are not different, the big frame circles like the small frame finding their natural size corresponding to the practitioner's body. Both move fully from the dantian and eventually sink naturally without using muscles or the mind. High level practitioner's bodies will also discover new circles of their own hence the appearance of Chen Fake's Xinjia.
There is some debate as to which style of Chen family taichi is the older. What is definate is that there are many more practitioners of Da Jia than Xiao Jia.
Superficially, Chen Da Jia looks harder to learn than Chen Xiao Jia for the Western student, simply because of the low stance that is generally required for Da Jia. The Chen family are from a hard working strong agricultural class though and their bodies would not have had difficulty with this, especially given that they traditionally learn from childhood, the age of five even.
Chen Xiao Jia requires much more internal control and ability to sink ones Qi before it has any value as a martial art, therefore it seems more likely that both forms were in existence together in the family in the past and were not differentiated as seperate styles.
Whether a student spent more time with outer movement, large circles and low physically aided sinking or went quickly to inner movement will have depended on the qualities of the student and their immediate need. Many of the Chen family had to work as bodyguards, so they needed practical martial skills as quickly as possible to earn money. What became known as Da Jia probably provided a quicker path to achieve this and so naturally would have been more widespread in the family.
The division into Chen Da Jia and Chen Xiao Jia probably happened naturally over time rather than intentionally.
Yang Lu Chan's original Yang style contained Xiao Jia and Da jia versions, Xiao Jia being kept close to his family and Da Jia being taught more widely, so it seems reasonable that the Chen style he learnt from Chen Chang Xing also involved both Xiao Jia and Da Jia versions.
Yang Ban Hou, Yang Lu Chan's son and Wu Yu-hsiang the founder of Wu(Hao) style both returned to Chen Xiao Jia for additional training so this points towards Chen Xiao Jia as the more highly regarded martial teaching of the Chen family at the time.
What this doesn't imply is any kind of implicit superiority of either Chen Xiao Jia or Chen Lao Jia / Xin Jia (Da Jia) in the present day.
As the poem says, big is not big, small is not small and all that matters is the quality of the practitioner's taichi. Once the styles were split off from each other, high level practitioners appeared practising both styles and so they would naturally have both continued to evolve, Chen Fake standing out in modern history to exemplify this.
Tai Chi has a concept of lineage. The progressive line of master teachers, with each learning from the previous generation masters.
Chen Wang Ting (1600-1680), [9th Generation] founded Chen Tai Chi in the 1600's. Previous to this the Chen family practiced hard Kungfu. For many generations it was kept private within the Chen family. Even so over time the lineage has branched out and so there are many lines now.
Two significant teachers after Chen Wang Ting were Chen Chang Xing and Chen You Ben, probably brothers.
Chen Gengyun's family line included Chen Fake and Chen Zhao Pei and forms what is now considered the mainstream of Chen Style Da Jia Taichi, headed by Chen Xiao Wang within the family. His younger brother Chen Xiao Xing teaches in Chen Jia Gou.
Chen Hua Mei and Chen Hua Gui created a lineage that is now headed by Chen Zhao Sen., and this is also Da Jia, although slightly different to the Chen Zhao Pei line.
Yang Lu Chan went on to found Yang Style Taichi.
Chen You Ben's lineage are considered to be practitioners of Chen Xiao Jia.
So at this stage there is a division in the Chen Family Taichi into Chen Da Jia and Chen Xiao Jia creating two main lineages.
Within the Da Jia Lineage, Chen Fake (1887-1957) [17th Generation], was a practioner who became famous in China and lived in Beijing where he taught many students inside and outside the Chen family.
He created the New Frame of Chen taichi which again split the Chen into two, Old Frame (Lao Jia) and New Frame (Xin Jia), although many of the Chen family members still train in both styles.
Chen Fake's main students were Feng Zhi Qiang, Chen Zhao Xu, Chen Zhao Pei (1928-1981)[18th], Chen Zhao Kui and Hong Junsheng along with several others.
Chen Fake's sons, Chen Zhao Xu and Chen Zhao Kui taught Chen Xin Jia with an emphasis on strong releases of power.
Chen Zhao Pei continued teaching Chen Lao Jia within the Chen family and so after this time the main students practiced both styles. These included Chen Xiao Wang, Wang Xi An, Zhu Tian Cai and Chen Zheng Lei among others.
Chen Xiao Wang and his peers have worked hard spreading the Chen Tai Chi around the World and so its popularity has increased dramatically in recent years.
Chen Xiao Xing, Chen Xiao Wang's brother, his son Chen Zi Qiang and Chen Bing, Chen Xiao Wang's nephew all teach in Chenjiagou as does Chen Zhao Sen from the Hua Mei lineage.
Feng Zhi Qiang created his own lineage of taichi, Chen Style Xinyin Hunyuan which is usually softer than Chen family taichi. Ou Hai Bing is a high level disciple living near Changsha, Hunan. The main school is in Beijing.
Some of the other students of Chen Fake have evolved in ways which are also softer than the Chen family norm and so over time this has created the rich diversity that is Chen Style Da Jia today.
Chen You Ben appears to be the person who headed what came to be known as Xiao Jia. He had many disciples among whom were Chen Qingping and Chen Zhongsheng.
Chen Qingping (1795-1868) went on to teach Wu Yuxiang who also learnt with Yang Luchan and formed a line which included Hao Weizhen and became known as the Wu (Hao) style of Taichi. Sun Lutang learnt with Hao Weizhen along with other high teachers from taichi, Xinyi and Bagua and formed Sun Style Taichi. The Yiquan founder learnt with Sun Lutang, so this is a very impressive line of martial art masters.
Chen Xin's disciples appear to have formed the main Xiaojia line and included Chen Ziming, Chen Kezhong (1908-1960), Chen Kedi and Chen Chunyuan.
Chen Kezhong's disciples include Chen Boxiang, Chen Boxian and Chen Zhijing. I met Chen Zhijing in Chenjiagou and he said his main student was now teaching in Chen Xiao Xing's school but it is possible to learn with him still.
Chen Chunyuan's line continued in Xian with Chen Liqing (-2008) and Chen Lixian (1922-1983). Chen Lixian's son Chen Peishan now lives and teaches in Japan. Other family members are Chen Peilin and Chen Peiju.
Chen Kedi lived in Kaifeng with his main disciple being Shi Lei. There is an established Chen Xiao Jia community there.
The Xiao Jia lineage is not as common as Da Jia but is being taught internationally now and so it is possible to learn from good teachers and especially so if you can travel to Chenjiagou, Xian or Kaifeng.
Note : The Da Jia and Xiao Jia lineages are accurate to the best of my knowledge but there may be errors. It is also likely that I've missed significant teachers and lines, which hopefully will be added at a later date as I become aware of the omissions.
The China Taichi Guide : Chen Style Taichi Introduction. Chen Style Tai Chi is rapidly growing in popularity in the West now as it combines the attractions of big circular movements, jumps & fahjing punches with the relaxed, 'empty mind' movement of Tai Chi.

An 18 Watt (W) LED tube light can replace a 40W general T8 tube light without affecting the illuminance. Hence, electricity saving is more than 64 units per year, considering the light operates for 8 hours per day.
A 6-8 Watt(W) LED can replace a 40W Incandescent light. The reason is a 6-8W LED produces the same light output(Lumen) as a 40 W incandescent light per unit of electricity consumed. Hence, electricity saving is more than 93 units per year, considering the light operates for 8 hours per day.
Light output: Light output per unit of electricity consumed (Lumen per Watt) for an LED is double (120-140 Lumen/W) for that of general T8 Tube Light (60-80 Lumen/W). Hence, for the lower Watt same illumination is possible using LEDs.
Life: LED have a life of more than 50,000 burning hours i.e., 10-15 years. Whereas, T8 Tube lights have a life of 10,000-20,000 burning hours i.e., 3-4 years.

Don't panic: your last-minute Super Bowl recipes are here!
I've tweeted about this series all week, but if you don't follow me elsewhere you might have missed it. My friend Sarah is working on 14 Days of Super Bowl recipes on her blog Black and Gold Tchotchkes. She's also written a series of football recipes on Ladies..., several of which I've tried and thoroughly enjoyed. Pizza Dip, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Pizza Loaf are among my favorites and are popular with my friends. I'd love to make one of her latest creations for the Super Bowl party this weekend. But I've already committed to muffalettas and I don't think we have enough people coming to justify making something like chicharrones de pollo, tasty as it looks. But f you're still wondering what to make for your own Super Bowl party this weekend, look no further. You're in good hands with Sarah.

New Minnesota schools chief brings a teacher's eye to the job

ListenNew Minnesota schools chief brings a teacher's eye to the job
State Education Commissioner Mary Cathryn Ricker talks to teachers, support staff, students and parents in the Hibbing High School library in Hibbing, Minn., on Friday. Ricker is a graduate of Hibbing High School.

It's not hard to understand Mary Cathryn Ricker's attraction to teaching. It's in her blood.
Her father and grandfather both taught school on Minnesota's Iron Range. She can remember watching her father mentor and inspire students on community service trips. Becoming a third-generation teacher seemed like destiny.
"Watching my dad interact with [students] and watching them interact with my dad, and this respectful rapport they had with each other," said Ricker, "it showed me the world of opportunity that is in teaching and in meeting the needs of kids."
It's -20 on the Iron Range this morning and so I'm probably not the only kid getting a ride to school from her dad. 💙⚓ pic.twitter.com/wwsgouZZvv
— Mary Cathryn Ricker (@mcricker) January 25, 2019
Ricker, 50, has an opportunity now to shape education in ways few teachers ever get. As Minnesota's new education commissioner, she's responsible for guiding policy and instruction for more than 860,000 public school students in a state with some of the nation's highest test scores — and some of its worst achievement gaps.
Commissioners for decades have walked in the door vowing to close those gaps between white students and students of color only to walk out frustrated. That becomes Ricker's struggle now, one she has vowed to take up. Those who know her from her work as a St. Paul classroom teacher and union leader say she's up for the fight.
"I am an optimist," Ricker said in a recent interview. "I really, truly believe there are very few problems that are impossible to solve. I want to stay at something, stay in a conversation about something, even if there is a lot of tension present until we get to a solution, until we get to some common ground."
'Common good' negotiating
Ricker got her first teaching job at a middle school in St. Cloud, Minn., after earning an undergraduate degree from the University of St. Thomas. She holds a graduate degree from the University of Minnesota. She's also taught overseas in Yemen and South Korea.
In St. Paul, she taught and also served nine years as president of the St. Paul Federation of Teachers. For the last five years, she's worked in national labor circles as executive vice president of the American Federation of Teachers.
Former colleagues at the St. Paul union describe her as a creative and forward-thinking leader who pioneered a completely new approach to collective bargaining.

Prior to Ricker's leadership, teacher contract bargaining in St. Paul had been a standard, closed-door series of negotiations that involved lawyers, union leaders and human resources representatives sitting around tables, hammering out the details of pay and benefits.
Ricker changed that negotiating process, opening it to parents, students and community groups, said Denise Rodriguez, who took over as president of the St. Paul union after Ricker moved on to the national federation.
"Mary Cathryn [Ricker] really brought a whole new vision to our union, very forward-thinking and very student-centered," Rodriguez said. "For me, it was very hard. I kind of say I'm the old dog learning new tricks. I was so used to, for example, having all the control at the bargaining table as one of the negotiators."
Rodriguez said she remembers trying to negotiate class sizes with district leaders unmoved by her stories of trying to teach Spanish with as many as 40 junior high students in the room. Feelings changed, though, when a parent came talked about how there wasn't any space in classrooms to come in and volunteer with their own children, and suddenly the school district sat up and took notice.
Full coverage:Education
Ricker, she said, "brought this [approach], which is now known around the country as bargaining for the common good. She was on the forefront of that, getting our leaders trained in how we negotiate our contract to improve student learning."
But St. Paul public school leaders said this strategy of bringing in more stakeholders made contract negotiations more adversarial than they needed to be.
Laurin Cathey, executive director of human resources for St. Paul Public Schools, sat across the negotiating table from Ricker in 2013.
He described Ricker as passionate, purpose-driven and action-oriented. But he said "bargaining for the common good" was a negotiating technique that put the district in a defensive position.
"It leaves us as anti-common good," Cathey said, "when really what we're trying to do is make sure that our efforts benefit the entire system."
'Focus on students'
Gov. Tim Walz, a former Minnesota high school teacher, enjoyed solid support from teacher unions during his 2018 campaign. So, it made sense he'd pick an education commissioner with strong union and classroom ties.
That has union leaders excited about the next four years.
"I believe what we're going to see in this administration is respect," said Denise Specht, president of Education Minnesota, a statewide teachers union. "We are going to see support and I think that we are going to see a lot of conversations around how we support students and the people who deliver education in Minnesota."
Specht said she cried when she watched Walz's inauguration. "My heart just swelled when I saw all of the educators in that room," she said.
New ed commissioner:Ricker doesn't want to arm teachers
Still, Ricker is walking into some entrenched problems in Minnesota's education system. Racial disparities in achievement continue to be a problem, despite funding increases during former DFL Gov. Mark Dayton's eight years in office.
Senate E-12 Finance and Policy Committee Chair Carla Nelson, R-Rochester, said she's concerned about how Ricker's deep union ties might influence her decision making as commissioner.
"When we look at changing, innovations, doing things differently so that all kids can have access to very personalized education, that might be contrary to a teacher union's mission. And I think the public needs to understand that," said Nelson.
"Obviously the commissioner is in a new role now. She is no longer the president of the teacher's union," she added. "I expect her to focus on students."
Ricker said her mission all along has been to help students, and that's what she hopes to do as education commissioner.
"The answers to all of those questions in my classroom practice were sometimes simple and sometimes complicated," Ricker said. "I recognized I wanted to be part of finding those answers."

Hexo logo
Organizations: Hexo
People: Charlie Bowman, Curtis Solsvig, Jim Clark, Julius Ivancsits, Scott Cooper, Sebastien St-Louis
Musical chairs is continuing at Hexo Corp. as the cannabis company has announced the appointment of its third chief executive in six months.
Charlie Bowman has been appointed acting president and CEO, effective immediately, replacing Scott Cooper.
Cooper took on the role in October, with a strategic reorganization that saw co-founder Sebastien St-Louis leave the company.
Bowman will move into a permanent role following the successful completion of Health Canada's security clearance process for key personnel, which has been initiated.
He had been acting chief operating officer and general manager of Hexo USA.
New CFO
The Gatineau-based company also announced that Julius Ivancsits will replace Curtis Solsvig as acting chief financial officer, effective May 16, and take on the role full-time after receiving security clearance.
"We are entering the next phase of Hexo's strategic growth plan by remaining laser-focused on becoming cash-flow positive, expanding our leading brands' market share across Canada's recreational market, whilst growing our international business and launching new products for medical," Bowman said in a news release.
The shakeup follows the recent departure of former vice-president of finance Jim Clark, who left the cannabis company to take on the role of chief financial officer at Kanata software firm Martello Technologies.
Hexo recently announced plans to close its Belleville facility this summer, affecting 230 employees as it further streamlines operations.

Any chance you'll add the ability to export the graphs to a file? Right now it doesn't appear possible to share them with anyone.
Printing of graphs will be enabled as soon as JetBrains enables the API, which they have indicated will be shortly. Depending on your system (e.g. MacOSX), this may include creation of PDF versions of graphs. Export of SVG versions of graphs would be fairly easy to add, if there is interest. Export to other image formats is out of scope at this time.


The new year will see a rise in production of both bauxite and alumina from the world's largest miner. Such was the news from a production report released by Anglo-Australian mining titan Rio Tinto Group late last week.
In 2019 the company expects to produce between 8.1 million and 8.4 million metric tons of the aluminium precursor, up from last year's alumina production total of 7.98 million metric tons. Rio Tinto said that last year's production was down due to maintenance shutdowns, shaving 2 percent from its production total in 2017.
Rio Tinto's expected bauxite production this year is between 56 million and 59 million metric tons, a rise from 2018's bauxite production total of 50.42 million metric tons. Bauxite production in 2018 was off by 1 percent due to scheduled tie-in works at the CBG mine in Guinea, where an expansion of operations is underway, and a shutdown at Alunorte in Brazil, necessitating a drawdown at MRN.
The firm's in-house production remained strong at Gove and Weipa, both in Australia. However, the final quarter of the year saw a 14-percent drop on the year due to a planned transition of operations from East Weipa to Amrun. The quarter also suffered the most from tie-in operations at CBG, explained the firm.
Third-party shipments of bauxite rose by 2 percent to 32.8 million metric tons in 2018, despite a 19-percent drop in the year's closing quarter due to a corresponding drop in production detailed above.
Aluminium production this year will be slightly off from last year's total of 3.46 million metric tons, projected the firm. A 2019 total of between 3.2 million and 3.4 million metric tons is Rio Tinto's projection, peaking just below last year's total that was down by 3 percent from 2017. The company said that a labor lock-out at Becancour smelter in Quebec and a power interruption at Dunkerque in France (which is now owned by Liberty House) negatively impacted production in the just-completed year. Minus these obstacles, Rio Tinto's aluminium production was up by 1 percent, the company noted.

Recipes for life – Paul's dressing recipe
Mercedes Wilson is with her friend from Paul, a teacher in Buffalo. Paul is making dressing or stuffing. Paul says this is Recipes for life and there was a season in my life where my first wife passed away and my children were grieving. He says the holidays were coming up, we were a little nervous and I said 'oh my goodness, I'm never going to be able to make the dressing' and then it hit me, 'you know the recipe, make it' so I put together what I knew. I started making dressing for the holidays. He says we have a very large extended family and so now I am the dressing maker for our families because I decided the recipes for life, we were not going to stay in the place we were at.
Mercedes says the holidays can be a rough time for a lot of people. Our thoughts and prayers are with people who may be going through a rough time for the holiday season. She says Paul can relate and a lot of us can relate to that. Paul says you can't stay in the place you are at. He says you have to recognize the place you're at, but you have to go on and holidays will still come, there are more holidays so therefore we decided to make this, and this is one of the traditions we make in our family. Paul says he is remarried to a beautiful wife and we have three children together. He says to make memories; if anything has taught us that if we made it through 2020, make memories, live for the day, have gatherings and food is a great place to start.

Q: Is the DNS a name record relevant if I forward the domain? I'm using GoDaddy for my domains and NearlyFreeSpeech for my hosting. I want to keep using GoDaddy for my DNS needs as it comes free with the domains.
In GoDaddy, I added a CNAME record for www.mydomain.com to point to mydomain.nfshost.com. So far so good. I also set mydomain.com (no www) to forward to www.mydomain.com (still in GoDaddy).
My question is: is the A name record relevant or can I just delete it?

The reason I'm asking this is because I used to use the no-www domain for my websites, but I've decided to switch recently (I've seen the light). However, when my site shows up in Google's search results, it still says http://mydomain.com and it can't find the server.
I'm guessing this is Google's fault and that maybe this will get resolved once Google's bots refresh their index because manually typing http://mydomain.com correctly redirects to www.mydomain.com.
Thanks

A: The A record is what translates the name to IP address. e.g. mydomain.com = 1.2.3.4
The CNAME is an alias for an A record. e.g. www.mydomain.com = mydomain.com
So without the A record the CNAME wouldn't go anywhere.

As far as Google going to the right place and not thinking there are two sites mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com, I've heard people use a 301 Moved Permanently or 301 Redirect.  This tells Google you have moved and all the old records and ranking for the old page now should be associated with the new page.  I'm not sure but I believe GoDaddy will allow you to set/customize those codes.

A:
In GoDaddy, I added a CNAME record for www.example.com to point to example.nfshost.com. So far so good.

Grand. By the way, a CNAME record is not merely an alias for an A record. It's an alias for everything. AAAA records, MX records, TXT records, whatever.

I also set example.com (no www) to forward to www.example.com (still in GoDaddy).

Ah, how? You see, there's really no way to forward domains, per se, in DNS. There's the CNAME record, which means this is the same as that. But what I think you want here is a redirect, and that's done with HTTP. That means that your example.com must have an A record (and/or an AAAA record) pointing to a web server, and that web server must output a HTTP 301 or 302 response redirecting the browser to www.example.com.
Where is that web server? Well, perhaps GoDaddy handles it for you, with a "redirect" record type, but that's what's happening under the hood.
Could you have a CNAME record for the bare domain, so that example.com has the CNAME example.nfshost.com or whatever? No, you can't.

*CNAME records are not merely aliases for A records; they're aliases for everything. Any domain with a CNAME record may not have any other kind of record.

*A domain must have NS records.

The conflict between these two rules means that CNAME records can exist only for subdomains.

Q: Tracking User's Actions in a Business Application The company I work for is redesigning our application in .NET. Our application is sold using the Software as a Service model.
We track all of our users actions in the software for reporting purposes (searching for things, downloading assets, completing forms, what is associated with the form they are creating, snap shot of the user's profile and details upon login, etc). Previously we had written a very robust tracking logic to complete all these details in our old application.
Before I complete this initial redesign in the .NET application I wanted to know if anyone has recommendations of off the shelf tracking solutions or open source tracking systems they have implemented in the past that are fairly robust.
Additional Details:
We have a lot of custom data (specific to our application) that needs to be tracked and our application is only accessed via company intranet sites so details on where people are coming from is not needed as we already know this.
I am planning on tracking page hits so a user's visit can be recreated if necessary.
EDIT (11/20/2009): There does not appear to be exactly an off the shelf solution to fit my problem but I'll be updating this question with a design and direction we are going to implement in the next couple of weeks. So if you are interested in what happened with this question then check back soon.

A: Well... there are really three different types of tracking (loggin) levels that you mentioned and different tools for each.
In your post you mention:

*

*Tracking the pages the users visits:
To me this would be a function of the web server. IIS (I assume IIS because you said it is .Net) will log all this stuff for you. There are several tools to mine that information.

*Business transactions:
Suff like, the user printed a report. The user ran a process, etc. These aren't really always specific to any data changing. Using a tool like log4net and an IoC container to inject this type of logging into your business objects would work well.

*Data modifications:
This is data level tracking. There are several ways to do this. But, I would recommened putting it close to the data base. It is probably a bit easier to do it in the DAL but what if someone changes data in the database outside of the application. Of course that may not be possible in your case. I have seen this done with triggers. But, SQL 2008 added
change tracking inbuilt.
So, I would say you need a combination of all three tools. Perhaps you can consolidate all the data into a single table or two to simplify viewing and mining it.

A: Our company uses log4net for tracking users actions.  We also have actions inserted into the database for any action a user takes on our applications.  With log4Net you can get pretty granular in what you log and where it logs. here is a direct link download of their binaries for version 1.2.10 (latest as of today).  Once you have it configured, it is really easy to use and log information.
Hope this helps,
Scott

A: Microsoft's Enterprise Library has some parts that may be helpful with some of the basic plumbing you may want for exception handling/logging for reporting purposes.  There may be other software packages like log4net that could also work for a specific part of the application that others could suggest.
Just a couple of ideas for things to evaluate how well they would work for you.

A: Level of indirection.  Implement a reverse proxy with input filters (Apache?) that log both requests and request parameters to a DB.  Reporting and session recreation become greatly eased.


While prepping materials for my recent presentation at Spring 2015 Convergence, I remembered a Google Chrome extension called ShortenMe that Pete Caggia had shared at the last Convergence I attended. I realized that I could use it both for prepping my presentation and during it. Unfortunately, this extension was no longer listed in the Chrome Web Store.
Fortunately, I found a workaround by downloading and manually installing the extension from Crx4Chrome. If you're looking for ShortenMe, look no further than the link below! Enjoy!
