Well. It's been 10 months now I've been using Maxis Broadband since I first got it. Well, it's not something to be talked off (you can just read various raged rants at that entry), but hey, I'm using it as my secondary internet whenever I'm on go.
Well, this is the day that I decided that I want to terminate this. Reading from terms and condition, I have to bring back the modem to the Maxis center for account termination. Well here you go. The modem is put back nicely into its original packaging.
Went to Maxis KLCC for that process. I guess not much people came here for Maxis Broadband purposes. I just go straight to counter 17 without having to take the queue number.
There no more 18 months contract, and it costs RM200 if terminated before 12 months period (from T&C). But the person that handles me suggest something else. He suggested that my account to be suspended, and during this time, the bill will be RM0. So in January 2009, I just need to come here again, and terminate my account, and RM200 will be waived (since I use it for more 12 months). That sounds like a good idea.
But account suspension can only be done for maximum of 3 months, where legal action will follow after that is the account is still suspended. So I guess this will be a trick. If you have used your Maxis Broadband for 3 months already, and you want to terminate it, to save the that RM200 fee, just suspend the account, and terminate the account only after 12 months period.
A word of advice. Make sure you bring along the original packaging that you received, especially the short and long USB cables supplied. I forgot to bring my long USB cable, and the agent said that RM30 will be charged for that. Luckily it's not today that I'm terminating my account.
Anyhow, does that mean that I no longer have my secondary internet, where I can go online whenever I'm on move. Well, no really actually. I opt in for the Internet2Go Unlimited Package for my Maxis Postpaid's Value Added Services. RM99 per month only compared to RM138 per month previously when using Maxis Broadband.
One might think it's a waste though for a phone to have that. But actually, my HTC Touch Pro itself is like a mini computer running Windows Mobile. There's plenty of applications that needs data connection. I can browse using Opera Mini, which it really show the web that way you see it on PC, there Windows Live messenger, I can use IM+ software to talk to my friends on Yahoo, Google Talk, AIM, I can instal Skype. It really fun to use Google Map here since HTC Touch Pro has internet GPS receiver, and Google Maps application also requires data connection. And there's other plenty of software that rely on internet connection.
Also, my HTC Touch Pro can also be used as modem, pretty much the same concept as when using Maxis Broadband USB modem before. I just plug the USB cable, and this screen is shown. I just need to choose Internet Sharing.
Then I go to Start -> Programs -> Internet Sharing.
Yeap. I'm connected to PC / laptop using USB cable, and I want to connect to internet using Maxis Internet. Finally, I click connect.
And walla! I can access internet on my PC / laptop using Maxis 3G connection. And it's the same before. If I'm in the HSPDA area, then I'll get high speed browsing, and I'm out from 3G coveraga area, I will be browsing using either EDGE or GPRS.
I just want to get the best of what technology can offer.
eh? where is that Bulgaria post???
meaning htc pro modem dia acts sejibik macam maxis broadband ke?
that easy? plug in and tadaaa.. can use oredy?
Sorry to intrude, but I stumbled upon your blog upon searching for Maxis 3G settings on Google for HTC Touch Pro. Must I say your blog is very informative for someone like me. Haha.
I see that we're using the same kind of phone but it looks like the 3G settings are working well with yours. I didn't have any problems with the 3G configurations until I upgraded my SIM card to a Maxis 3G SIM.
The question that I would like to ask you is, how do you set the 3G settings, may I know? I tried to use the same settings so many times but failed miserably. Help?
Actually, I formatted my TP once I got it from the shop. The shop installed too much junks (which I don't need) and one of the program keeps giving an error to my phone. So I decided to format.
After I format, and once I put in my SIM card, the auto setting wizard started, which also set the Maxis 3G setting. And it works ever since.
Maybe this weekend I will try to make the screen capture of the 3G setting, so that you can set the same on your phone.
Thanks a million for this. Greatly appreciated. Gonna call them shortly.
How to use Broadband sim card with ur phone?
1. Put broadband sim card into ur 3g hp..
2.Go to hp setting, set the APN (unet for maxis.celcom3g for Celcom)..
3.browse internet using ur hp application..
hi there. the way on how to use phone as a modem varies from model to model. if it's nokia, then you need to install PC Suite. I'm using windows mobile, and it has this internet sharing option. it will use the same setting as what you phone is using to send/'receive MMS. usually, you can get that setting from maxis website, but latest phone nowadays can detect what telco you are using and set all the 3G connection automatically.
hi i have a decision to made.
Can i still terminate my broadband if i've been using it for 4 months. But now I haven't been using it. I live in perak, does this means i need to refer to maxis center in kl or somewhere nearby?
hi imran. Thanks for the post. I would like to ask u bout the suspension. Do u request to maxis to make the suspension? Or is it that u just leave ur account over limit n they will suspend ur account? so after the suspension thaere will be no cost to pay?
Hi Fatin. Last time actually the customer service guy suggested that I suspend my account to avoid penalty for early termination, and he did it for me. Not sure if this is still valid nowadays.

A predominant pathogen causing seedling disease in the north-central region of the U.S. is the oomycete Pythium. Pythium sylvaticum was the most frequently recovered Pythium species from diseased seedlings in recent surveys. Pythium can reduce crop stands by causing "damping-off" of developing seedlings. Symptoms on affected seedlings may include general discoloration, yellow to brown lesions, root rot and seed rot. A higher occurrence of damping-off caused by Pythium is often associated with cold and wet soils.
Low soil temperatures at planting keep seedlings at a germination stage at which they are susceptible to infection by soilborne pathogens for a longer period of time. Previous research under controlled conditions has shown that soybean emergence was significantly reduced by Pythium when seeds were exposed to cold stress at planting. Our preliminary research suggested that periods of cold stress within 1 to 5 days after planting may reduce plant stand particularly when Pythium sylvaticum is present.
Seed treatments are often recommended to protect against seedling disease, particularly under cool and wet conditions at planting. Seed treatments that contain the active ingredients metalaxyl or mefenoxam and, more recently, ethaboxam are recommended for control of oomycetes, including Pythium.
With checkoff funding provided by the Iowa Soybean Association and the North Central Soybean Research Program, we evaluated the efficacy of a commercial seed treatment on soybean emergence during various simulated cold stress conditions. In this study, we planted treated or untreated soybean seeds in soil with or without Pythium sylvaticum at an optimal soil temperature (18ºC/65 ºC). Two or four days after planting, we subjected the planted seeds to cold stress conditions similar to those that occur commonly during planting season.
We measured the effect of the cold stress on emergence, severity of Pythium disease, and plant growth, and confirmed that emergence was significantly reduced when P. sylvaticum was present, compared to the non-inoculated controls. Cold stress alone did not affect emergence (Figure 1).
The duration of the cold stress in the presence of the pathogen affected emergence more than the temperature or the timing at which the cold stress occurred. Our data suggest that 24 or more hours of cold stress is deleterious to emergence of soybean in presence of P. sylvaticum.
Figure. 1. Percent emergence 21 days after planting for soybean seedlings planted at 64º F/18ºC and subjected to three periods of cold stress (24, 48 or 96 hours) one day (24 hours) or 4 days (96 hours) after planting.
Different letters within the same panel indicate statistically significant differences.
Emergence of the inoculated control at 64º F/18ºC was 75.0 ± 8.0 %.
The seed treatment improved emergence under all cold stress conditions when the pathogen was present, compared to untreated seed (Figure 1). The seed treatment also reduced root rot severity and increased shoot weight of inoculated plants compared to the untreated control.
However, there was no significant effect of seed treatment on root weight. We observed poor lateral root development in inoculated plants, probably due to infection by Pythium, even with the use of a seed treatment.
In this study we confirmed previous reports that cold stress can increase the occurrence of seedling diseases and stand problems. Data from this study confirms that cold stress soon after planting can increase the risk of reduced crop stands in the north-central region, and suggests that seed treatments with metalaxyl and ethaboxam protect seedlings against Pythium infection when cold soil conditions occur soon after planting.
Damping-off caused by Pythium sylvaticum on soybeans subjected to periods of cold stress is reduced by seed treatments. Canadian Journal of Plant Pathology, 2018 (abstract).

I've booked my place!…What next?
Whether you've reserved your place by making a deposit payment or have fully booked on by paying in full, thank you!… you should receive an automated order confirmation email with details of your booking and a booking order number. This is your proof of purchase and peace of mind that your place has been booked. We do not issue out tickets and we ask that guests take a screenshot or printout of their order in case of any problems on the night. If you have more than one confirmation (i.e a deposit order number and remaining balance order number, please make a note of both order numbers.) It is rarely the case that we have to check details on the door but it's always best you have the information to hand.
No we do not issue out tickets. Instead we operate a guest list system. As soon as we receive your booking confirmation, we add your name(s) to that events list. We do advise you keep hold of your booking confirmation number issued on your order email, just in case of any confusion. If you are looking to gift a ghost hunt, we do offer gift vouchers which we are happy to post out. You can order these through the "Gift Ideas" section of our website.
My event date is coming up but I've not heard anything yet?
We are in the process of changing the way we send out welcome information and as of the 1st March 2016 we will no longer be sending out welcome emails. Instead of emailing you all a welcome email you'll be able to access all information about your event from the "YOUR EVENT" tab from the main menu. This will give you all the information you will need for your night to come, including where to park, when to arrive and what to bring/wear. These details will likely not be available until the week of your event and could be added as late as 48 hours before. If your event is a few weeks away, please keep checking the Your Event tab closer to your event date. Most general information,( google map, arrival times) can be found on the product listing in the meantime.
I've paid my deposit, when do I need to pay the balance?
Deposit options are a great way to reserve your place and to spread out the payment. We do however please ask, if opting for deposit reservations, that you pay your remaining balances on time. We will do our best to send reminders out but, as you can appreciate, that can be quite a time consuming task so please don't wait for a reminder. If your event date is 1st April, the remaining payment is due in by 1st March.
How do I pay my remaining balance(s)?
Just the same way as you paid for your deposits. Head over to the event listing, select the event you have booked on to and at the bottom you will see the drop down menu. From the menu, please select "remaining balance" and add the quantity you require into the cart. Proceed to checkout as normal.
What happens if I miss the deadline for paying my remaining balances?.
We reserve the right to release your spaces if we have not received your remaining balances in on time. We will try our best to send out a reminder email but are under no obligation to do so. It is your responsibility to make a note of when your balances need to be paid. However! You can still pay your remaining balances after the deadline ( 4 weeks before) providing we have not re-sold your places. Head over to the event you have booked onto and select the remaining balance option. If it is in stock, select the quantity as needed and proceed to checkout. If the remaining balance option appears "Out of Stock" then sadly we have re-sold your places. Deposit payments are strictly non-refundable or transferable.
I can't login in to my account to pay my balance?
You don't need to login to your account to pay balances….in fact, we've scrapped the account option to make your order process a little simpler! To pay balances, head back to the event you've booked on to. Scroll to the payment bar and instead of selecting the deposit option as you did before, simply select the remaining balance option, add the quantity into your cart and head to check out.
My order status is "processing"?
Unless you've ordered physical goods that require posting, such as gift vouchers or merchandise, your event order will remain as "processing" until after your event has taken place. Please do not worry that your event order status is "processing".
For physical goods, your order status will change to "completed" once the item(s) have been dispatched, to let you know the goods are on their way.
What happens if I can't make the event? Can I have a refund?
If you let us know with more than 4 weeks notice of your event date, we will be happy to refund you the remaining balance. (Please note deposit payments are strictly non-refundable).
If you can't attend and provide us with less than 4 weeks notice then I'm afraid you will not be entitled to a refund.
What happens if I can't make the event? Can I transfer onto a different date / event?
If you let us know with more than 4 weeks notice of your event date, we will happily consider a request to transfer your booking onto another event, however this is not guaranteed. Please note that there will be a £5 per person administration fee to transfer your dates if your request to transfer is authorised by Management. The administration fee must be paid before your transfer is confirmed. If the event you wish to transfer onto is of a lesser value than your original booking, no refund of the difference will be given. If the event you wish to transfer to is of a higher value, the difference will need to be paid, along with the transfer administration fee, before the booking change is confirmed. The event you request to transfer on to must be within 12 months of your original order.
If you can't attend and provide us with less than 4 weeks notice then I'm afraid you will not be entitled to a transfer.
I've booked 2 places but my friend can't go, can another friend take their place?
Of course they can! All we ask is that your friend is over 18 and is made aware of the T&C's. If you, the main booker, can no longer attend but you have found a suitable replacement, please do let us know their name so we can amend the guest list and again, they will have to have been made aware of our T&C's. Transfers or selling tickets to 3rd parties without our knowledge may result in a refusal of entry so please give us a call to discuss.
Where do I stand with refunds?
We hope we've covered all refund questions if you can't make the event but please check out all our Terms & Conditions for our full refund policy. You'll have been asked to have read these and agreed to them before being able to proceed with any payment/booking.

Disney Trading: It's Game Time!
by Steven Miller, Manager, External Affairs
I love fall. It is one of my favorite seasons. The fall signifies I'm another year older, but more importantly it is the start of college football season. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, so growing up the fall was always filled with tradition. For the past several years, we have released a series of pins celebrating these football traditions called "Rivalry Weekends." Gosh, there are some classic rivalries!
The Rivalry Weekends collection was first introduced 2007 by John Smith, former Product Developer for limited edition pins (funny thing is he now develops sports product for Disney). The first set of pins saw four classic rivalries. We then took a year off (still not sure why) and then introduced another set in 2009. The theme last year was "Game On" (which was a popular phrase often uttered by John).
This brings us to this year and the 2010 collection titled, "Game Time." The collection will again include four classic match ups. The pins are limited release which means they don't have a finite production number. You may also notice that the pins are focused on teams from the east coast of the United States (mostly because they will be released in Florida).
I'm often asked why we don't feature more teams. Believe it or not, there is a finite production budget each month for pins. We base many decisions about development on historic sales record, yet we like to try new things. This year we introduced a new rivalry – University of Alabama vs. University of Tennessee.
All of this brings me to one final question: which is the greatest college football rivalry today? I think you already know my answer. Look for these pins to be released on October 7, 2010, at Walt Disney World.

Army Vs Navy!!
Go Army!
Penelope on September 2, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Just want to add my preference for UCLA/USC. I can't believe Disney would miss out on this money-making opportunity – especially for a local rivalry near one of their two USA theme parks. Definitely the biggest college rivalry in the Los Angeles / Orange County area.

Mickey as a Vanderbilt Commodore vs. Pete as a UT Vol! Go 'DORES!

Yeah T vs. AL! My daughter from a Vols family married into an Alabama family. How and where can we get this pin without visiting WDW? I am coming in Sept. before they come out.
Kim on September 2, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Hey Steven – O * H! Great pins – will forward to picking them up during my trip to WDW in November!

Why yes, you do … it's virtual though:
http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/190200971.jpg
And I must say that these comments are awesome! Really a great way to kick off the season. Many mahalos to those who have taken the time to write. I'll just say, "Go Team!" Let the debate continue.
Steven on September 2, 2010 at 1:50 pm
LOVE this football series, but where is PSU? Where is JoePa? Of course I'm biased as as alumi, but from an economic perspective, PSU has the largest, active, alumni association in the USA. While I was at Disney I bought one pin for myself – a Mickey/PSU one. Go State! Thank you for the great pins you're producing!
JULIE on September 2, 2010 at 1:11 pm
How cute! I am not a "fanatic" for football but I do love Mickey and Stitch. Disney is my team! Being from Alabama I am happy for both teams (AL and AU) when they win.

Virginia Tech v. UVA – GO HOKIES!!
Kirstin on September 2, 2010 at 12:58 pm
David-I am not trying to belittle your research, nor the collection in a whole. What I am trying to point out is that perhaps its time for a change in how the series is made each year. Why not expand the series to cover more than the top 4 rivalries? I know personally have bought MULTIPLE Mickey PSU pins as gifts for family and friends and they are always a favorite gift to be received. But I have also bought friends the Ohio,Gators, Yankees and Red Sox pins in the sports lines because even though these may or may not be my favorite teams, they are the favorites of people I love and we try to bring home pins as gifts from the park.
It just seems odd to me that a collection like the Disney Pin series that tends to constantly change and grow keeps putting out the same line of Pins in one series over and over and the only thing making them different is the background or character clothing. I am not saying the Ohio/Michigan game isn't a big Big 10 game. But I am trying to point out there are other BIG college rivalries (Psu/Ohio, Army/Navy, VA Tech/WV, Michigan/Michigan State) in all the conferences and that these games could be getting made into pins making the different years of the series more exciting to the team fans, and more exciting to those of us that collect Disney pins.
And yes I do LOVE Stitch. We have more Stitch pins than I choose to admit in a public forum. And I would LOVE to see Stitch in a PSU jersey, or better yet dressed like Joe Pa. 🙂

Go BUCKEYES!!! Gotta have that pin!
Michele on September 2, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Go Blue!!!
Michelle on September 2, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Army Navy pin is a must! Go Navy!!!
Charles on September 2, 2010 at 12:17 pm
To Autumn…I could continue my research, but I believe these facts make the point as to why Ohio State is always there. The Bleacher Report has Ohio State-Michigan as the 3rd best rivalry in all of sports, behind the Yankees-Red Sox and some silly basketball thing. The Sports Dish has them at #2 behind said Yankees-Red Sox. ESPN has Ohio State-Michigan as #1. Point is, The Game is in the Top Three most everywhere you look, and that's in the whole of North American Sports, including all levels (professional and college) of all types (football, basketball, baseball, hockey, etc). Only the most successful team in professional sports (the New York Yankees) ranks as well across the board, and no other college football game comes close.
David on September 2, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Couldn't have said it better. We actually did the same kind of research. It honestly has nothing to do with me being from Columbus (that's just purely coincidence :-). We base a lot of decisions on fan interest as well as historical sales record. But we also leave the door open to trying new things.
Steven on September 2, 2010 at 12:51 pm
I'd buy an OU vs TX pin the day it came out. Boomer Sooner!
Jeralyn on September 2, 2010 at 12:14 pm
How about the UNC/Duke Rivalry???? OR USC Gamecocks & Clemson Tigers??? 2 HUGE rivals!!
Susan on September 2, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Why not release some at Disneyland. The focus on Disney World is kind of annoying. At Disneyland the obvious choice is USC/UCLA. You could even do Stanford/Berkeley.
Carlos on September 2, 2010 at 12:08 pm
It is something we can consider for next year – clearly there is interest.
I agree with Douglas, in post #6, Where is the Army-Navy pin???
Tony USNA '90 Go Navy, BEAT Army!!
Anthony on September 2, 2010 at 12:08 pm
PLEASE PLEASE add a University of SC/Clemson one!!!!

Anonymous on September 2, 2010 at 11:39 am
Alabama vs TN??? are you kidding me? Umm..when you move to AL they don't ask you "Bama or Tennessee" they ask "Alabama or Auburn' and you have to pick one or they will hound you till you do. All of Alabama hates TN but the Alabama / Auburn thing is a year round rival.
Regardless, I'm a Buckeye! LOL
Kristina on September 2, 2010 at 11:38 am
I would like to see Univeristy of Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State or even better…University of Oklahoma vs Texas! BOOMER SOONER!!!!
Hillary on September 2, 2010 at 11:36 am
I guess Steves growing up in Ohio is why Ohio is represented in every year shown here? I was kind of hoping for different pins this year, you know maybe including PSU, instead of 3 replay from last year…… I also agree an Army Navy pin is a must do.
autumn on September 2, 2010 at 11:35 am
Personally, I LOVE Stitch…and am bummed that he's not ever in the Gator gear.
GO GATORS!
Elizabeth on September 2, 2010 at 11:35 am
YES, YES, YES!!! Finally a OSU vs Michigan rivalry Pin, THANK YOU! Ohio State Mickey pin was my 1st pin. GO BUCKEYES!
Allen on September 2, 2010 at 11:33 am
Love the new pin for the Crimson Tide and the Viles…uhhh Vols! The third Saturday in October is truly an intense week around here; what a great way to represent that tradion! Roll Tide!!!!
Ed on September 2, 2010 at 11:29 am
I would love to see an Army vs. Navy pin, Go NAVY!
Douglas on September 2, 2010 at 11:26 am
LOVE that you added TN/AL! Go Vols!!!
Kelly on September 2, 2010 at 11:02 am
I love the pins and all, but why so much Stitch? It's really annoying that he's EVERYWHERE at the parks, even though most people aren't fans of him at all.
I'd like to see more of the originals, like Pluto or Goofy!
Claire on September 2, 2010 at 10:58 am
Are these exclusive to the parks, or can they be bought online too? I'd love to get ahold of that FSU/UF pin but I won't be down any time soon.
Mike on September 2, 2010 at 10:43 am
Based on the feedback here (Wow! – I guess there is a lot of passion :-), we are mostly likely going to offer a limited quantity of these pins on the Disney Parks On-Line store: http://www.DisneyParks.com/Store
It will happen in October after these pins are released in the Parks. Still plenty of time before the "big game!"
Not sure of the logistics involved, but what about a pin for what is (in my opinion) an even bigger rivalry than Michigan/OSU: Army vs. Navy?
Jim on September 2, 2010 at 10:23 am
Go Buckeyes!

Other species of mammals don't drink milk because of their inability to extract it, the lack of physical and mental capacity and, most importantly, due to different evolutionary paths.
The effects of milk on human health have no logical association with the fact that other adult animals don't drink it.
This is a popular argument among some Paleo diet enthusiasts and vegans. They state that if other animals do not drink milk from other species, therefore, it must be unnatural and humans past infancy shouldn't drink milk either.
There are two factors which make humans different from animals when it comes to milk consumption: our ability to extract milk from animals and the genetic changes that have occurred in some populations over thousands of years, as a result of that ability to extract milk.
It is technically difficult and impractical for other adult animals to feed on milk from either their mother or animals of other species.
After farming replaced hunting and gathering and the domestication of animals became widespread in some areas of the world, farmers started to extract and use milk. Initially they produced tolerable, low in lactose fermented dairy products such as yogurt or cheese.
The spread of these genetic mutations could only occur after many generations of consistent consumption of milk and milk products. Lactase persistence is currently found in approximately 32% of adults worldwide.
In contrast, other mammals did not go through the same evolutionary path and so could not experience similar genetic mutations. The ability of mammals to produce lactase reduces during the weaning period, making them gradually lactose intolerant.
It is also simply not logical to draw such a conclusion as in the myth question. Even if all the other mammals are unable to drink milk for any reason, we cannot assume that humans can't. Moreover, there are many things that humans can do and eat that other mammals just can't.

The Machine Making sense of AI
Facebook leverages AI to improve kids' safety in Messenger
Kyle Wiggers@Kyle_L_Wiggers

Join gaming leaders, alongside GamesBeat and Facebook Gaming, for their 2nd Annual GamesBeat & Facebook Gaming Summit | GamesBeat: Into the Metaverse 2 this upcoming January 25-27, 2022. Learn more about the event.
In an attempt to beat back a rise in scams and other unwanted interactions during the coronavirus pandemic, Facebook today unveiled an AI-powered Messenger feature that surfaces tips to help younger users spot malicious actors. The guidelines — which outline steps for blocking or ignoring people on Messenger if that becomes necessary — are intended to educate users under the age of 18 about interacting with adults they don't know.
The Messenger announcements follow the rollout of limits on chats users can forward and a hub that spotlights pandemic resources — both attempts to limit the spread of misinformation. Despite Facebook's renewed campaign against false coronavirus information, misleading content on the platform is still shared and viewed hundreds of millions of times, according to a report from global nonprofit Avaaz. More broadly, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has documented over 20,000 instances of messages offering bogus testing kits, unproven treatments, or predatory loans.
Facebook's efforts to supplement a shortfall of human moderators with AI haven't consistently panned out. While the network is successfully using automated techniques to apply labels to content deemed untrustworthy by fact-checkers and to reject ads for disallowed items (like testing kits and medical face masks), in mid-March a bug caused Facebook's anti-spam system to begin flagging and removing legitimate news content.
But according to Messenger privacy and safety director Jay Sullivan, the AI powering the safety tips feature — which rolled out on Android in March and will expand to iOS next week — looks at behavioral signals like an adult sending a large number of friend or message requests to users under the age of 18. This might take into account signals from user reports or previously reported content, and it's designed to improve with time as it obtains more signals from accounts interacting with one another.
In some ways, it's intended to bridge the gap between Messenger and Messenger Kids, Facebook's child-friendly alternative to the main Messenger app that allows parents or guardians to review the people their kids connect to. "Messenger already has special protections in place for minors that limit contact from adults they aren't connected to, and we use machine learning to detect and disable the accounts of adults who are engaging in inappropriate interactions with children," said Sullivan in a statement. "Our strategy to keep people safe on Messenger not only focuses on giving them the information and controls they need to prevent abuse from happening, but also on detecting it and responding quickly if it occurs."
It's this property that allows the AI to work with end-to-end encryption schemes, ensuring it will continue to function after Messenger becomes encrypted by default. As a spokesperson explained to VentureBeat, the system uses metadata, behavioral patterns, and reports, as opposed to the actual content of individual chat messages.
"We designed this safety feature to work with full encryption," said Sullivan. "People should be able to communicate securely and privately with friends and loved ones without anyone listening to or monitoring their conversations. As Messenger becomes end-to-end encrypted by default, we will continue to build innovative features that deliver on safety while leading on privacy. These safety notices will help people avoid potentially harmful interactions and possible scams while empowering them with the information and controls needed to keep their chats private, safe, and secure."
The newly expanded feature marks the latest move in Facebook's initiative to combat fake news and misinformation around the pandemic. In early March, the company gave the World Health Organization (WHO) unlimited ads to counter false coronavirus claims on its platform and pledged to remove conspiracies and profiteering marketing flagged by health organizations. More recently, Facebook began informing users who like, react to, or comment on posts about the pandemic that are later removed by moderators and directing those users to information debunking virus myths.
As of April 16, Facebook said it had served 2 billion people independently fact-checked articles about the pandemic and expanded its fact-checking efforts to a dozen new countries, bringing its total number of fact-checking partners to 60. The company also said it had displayed warnings on 40 million posts about the pandemic that had been flagged by third-party fact-checkers, ostensibly dissuading 95% of people from clicking on the content.
In conjunction with this effort, Facebook is facilitating a program that connects developer partners with health organizations and UN health agencies to use Messenger to scale their responses to the health crisis. And the Indian government and the U.K.'s National Health Service have teamed up with Facebook's WhatsApp to launch dedicated coronavirus informational chatbots.

Can Amitriptyline Help Prevent Migraine?
Medically reviewed by Heidi Moawad, M.D. — By Carly Vandergriendt on August 11, 2021
d3sign/Getty Images
Amitriptyline is a prescription tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). Amitriptyline is sometimes prescribed off-label at low doses to prevent migraine attacks.
But does it work? Evidence suggests that it does work for some people. However, like any medication, it comes with a chance of side effects.
This article explores what current research suggests about the risks and benefits of using amitriptyline for migraine prevention.
What is amitriptyline?
Amitriptyline is part of a class of drugs called tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). TCAs are typically prescribed for depression, but many have additional uses.
It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat depression in 1977 and sold under the brand name Elavil. Although Elavil was discontinued in 2000, amitriptyline is still available in generic forms.
Amitriptyline in particular has been used to treat a wide range of conditions that cause chronic pain, including migraine. It's typically used for migraine prophylaxis (prevention).
Using amitriptyline to prevent migraine attacks isn't new, with research dating back to the 1970s. For instance, a 1979 study assessed its efficacy in a randomized controlled trial. The authors concluded that amitriptyline was effective for migraine prevention.
Other countries have formally approved the use of amitriptyline for migraine prevention. In the United Kingdom, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) lists the prophylactic treatment of migraine in adults as one of amitriptyline's therapeutic uses.
How does amitriptyline work for migraine?
Amitriptyline increases the effects of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is associated with emotional well-being, pain regulation, and other biological functions such as sleeping and eating.
There's no single explanation for why migraine attacks occur. They're caused by a combination of contributing factors.
For some people, serotonin is one of those factors. Research has shown that people who experience migraine attacks are more likely to have low levels of serotonin. For many, alterations in serotonin level or activity can trigger a migraine attack.
Amitriptyline's effect on migraine might be related to its effect on serotonin levels. More research needs to be done to understand its exact mechanism of action.
How does amitriptyline help children with migraine?
A 2019 literature review concluded that there isn't enough evidence to recommend amitriptyline to prevent migraine attacks in children.
However, the review also reported that children between 10 and 17 who were treated with amitriptyline alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) were more likely to experience a reduction in chronic headaches.
What is the usual dose of amitriptyline for migraine?
The recommended starting dose of amitriptyline for migraine is 10 milligrams (mg) per day. If you aren't getting adequate migraine prevention and aren't having intolerable side effects, your doctor might increase your dose by up to 25 mg per week.
The maximum dose of amitriptyline is 300 mg per day, and higher doses are more likely to cause side effects.
Amitriptyline is available in tablet and liquid form. Since amitriptyline can make you feel drowsy, it's best to take it at night before you go to sleep.
How much does amitriptyline cost?
The cost of amitriptyline varies according to where you live and how much you buy.
According to ClinCalc.com, the average cost of amitriptyline in 2018 was $24.65 per prescription fill. In addition, the average prescription lasted approximately 44 days.
What are the side effects of taking amitriptyline for migraine?
Like any medication, amitriptyline can cause side effects. The most common side effects are mild, and include:
Although serious side effects are less common, they can occur. You should seek medical attention right away if you experience any of the following while taking amitriptyline:
changes in eyesight
eye pain or swelling
manic thoughts or behavior
racing heartbeat
yellow skin
Amitriptyline may cause headaches
Headaches (but not migraine attacks) are a common side effect of amitriptyline. This drug's dehydrating effects may contribute to this side effect. Be sure to drink lots of water when taking amitriptyline.
Can amitriptyline interact with other medications?
Amitriptyline can interact with other drugs, increasing your risk for side effects.
In particular, amitriptyline can interact with opioid painkillers such as codeine, oxycodone, or morphine. The combination can increase your risk for drowsiness and breathing difficulties.
Amitriptyline can also interact with another type of antidepressant called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), triggering dangerously high blood pressure. This can occur even after you've stopped taking MAOIs.
Before taking amitriptyline, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about substances you've taken or are currently taking, including herbal remedies, vitamins, and supplements.
The FDA adds a black box warning when a prescription drug carries potentially life threatening risks.
Amitriptyline has a box warning for suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and young adults. Adults who have major depressive disorder (MDD) are also at an increased risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors while taking amitriptyline.
The FDA warns that amitriptyline carries a risk of acute angle closure glaucoma, a potentially serious condition that causes increased pressure in the eye.
Finally, amitriptyline can pose additional risks to pregnant and nursing people.
How effective is amitriptyline?
Research shows that low doses of amitriptyline can be an effective treatment for preventing migraine attacks.
A 2010 review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness and side effects of TCAs, including amitriptyline, in treating chronic migraine. The authors reported that TCAs pose an increased risk of side effects compared to other antidepressants and that they can be an effective treatment for migraine prevention.
Similarly, a 2016 study evaluated amitriptyline's long-term effectiveness among 178 people who were prescribed low doses for headaches. The authors found that doses between 2.5 and 100 mg per day were an effective treatment for chronic headaches, with approximately 75 percent of patients reporting an improvement in their symptoms.
A more recent 2019 literature review concluded that among antidepressants commonly prescribed to prevent migraine attacks, amitriptyline has the most evidence of being effective.
Your doctor might prescribe amitriptyline to prevent migraine headaches. Although amitriptyline hasn't been approved by the FDA for migraine prophylaxis (prevention), research suggests that it's effective at low doses.
If you think amitriptyline might be able to help with your migraine episodes, talk with your doctor about your symptoms. Your doctor can help you weigh the risks and benefits of taking amitriptyline.

This issue stands as resolved. I created a new boot disk instead of using Niresh's distro which solved the issue. With Niresh's distro I even tried using /haswell bootflag to no fix.
Make sure you follow all the steps!
I was able to fix the issue by following this link: http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/01/how-to-fix-mac-app-store-error-your.html For me the third step worked: 1) I removed all the connections from Network Preferences 2) Then added them once again Note: When adding Ethernet please provide the name as "en0" in the connection name which is a must.

Singapore Airlines has been rated the world's best airline for the fourth time in the annual World Airline Awards. They received this award from the result obtained carrying out survey, which involved over 100 countries and in languages such as English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Chinese languages. 20.36 million eligible entries were counted in the results thereafter. According to Skytrax World news of July 17, 2018 on its website, all survey entries were screened to identify the IP and user information where duplicate and suspect or ineligible entries were being deleted in the survey screening process. It also noted that 335 airlines were featured in the survey results.
In its post of June 29, 2018; Skytrax, stated that the World Airline Awards are independent and impartial noting that it started in 1999 to provide a customer satisfaction review study, it also carried out an online survey throughout the world on the 335 airlines from August 2017 to May 2018 which was approximately 9 months in total. This survey also involved nominations made by previous year survey respondents from its database of 24.45 million customers all in a bid to get an accurate and unbiased result which finally brought out Singapore Airlines as the best Airline, for the fourth time in the history of World Airline Awards.
Singapore Airline CEO, Goh Choon Phong who accepted the Awards stated that the recognition received by the Airline, will motivate them to improve upon their product leadership, service excellence and network connectivity, as their main three pillars of brand promise to ensure they preserve competitive advantage and also continue to meet and exceed customers' expectations.

Patrick Reed put together a very impressive and solid final round to win the Masters and grab his first major title win, beating Rickie Fowler by one shot to claim the infamous Green Jacket.
Going into the first major of the golfing year all the focus was on Tiger Woods, back on form and back in the hunt for major honours for the first time in a long time.
However by the end of the weekend it was the new generation of American golfers who were taking the headlines.
Patrick Reed's five under on Saturday meant he started the final round at Augusta in the lead with Rory McIlroy three shots back.
Reed and McIlroy were the final pair and reigniting the rivalry from their match at the final day of the Ryder Cup in 2016. Despite winning that day the questions over Reed was whether he could handle the pressure of winning a major.
However it was the 27 year old who dealt with it better than his Northern Irish opponent with McIlroy starting strong but falling back.
Instead it was Spieth who put all the pressure on Reed. The 24 year old had already won once at Augusta National in 2015 and would have won in 2016 if it weren't for a final round collapse.
He started the day nine shots back with no one talking about him having the chance of adding a second green jacket to his collection.
However the three time major winner, who only needs the PGA Championship to collect his own grand slam, put together an incredible round.
He was five under through the front nine and incredible approach play, mixed with solid and sometime spectacular putting meant that by the time he birdied the 16th he was level with Reed on 14 under.
However Reed's own birdie at 14 put him back ahead and Spieth finally dropped a shot at 18, his first of the round, to hand the initiative back to his fellow countryman.
Rickie Fowler also put pressure on Reed late on and his -5, including a birdie at the last, put him within one of Reed and one shot ahead of Spieth as the clubhouse leader, waiting for his Ryder Cup teammate to play the last.
Spaniard Jon Rahm gave his best showing at the Masters and finished two shots further back from Spieth as the leading European.
McIlroy was the only man in the leading pack to finish over for the final round and finished on -9 having started three shots behind Reed on Sunday.
Reed's best previous finish at Augusta had been tied 22nd in 2015.

First of all, understand that your efforts to get your degree are well appreciated by law schools. They understand that it takes self-financing and additional motivation and hard work to complete a degree while working full time.
Also, a lot of traditional college students suffer from the same lack of "face time" with faculty. It's not just you. You need to think about what else you bring to the table – is there someone from work? A supervisor, a client, a vendor who can speak to your accomplishments and abilities? A community service organization that you've served? Also, remember it's not too late to get to know a professor. If you did well in a class, call up that professor and see if he/she can meet you for coffee and get to know you and whether he/she would be willing to write a letter on your behalf based on your classroom performance.
Your situation is not unique, and law schools are prepared for it. It should help to know that Letters of Rec are the least important area of your application (unless they are terrible, then you are in trouble)….
P.S. The comment below is from a former client, currently attending U. of Florida School of Law. I solicited his input because it sounds like he and Pete are/were in similar circumstances.
Whether before class, during breaks, or immediately after class, asking questions will get you face time. I built practically all of my relationships with professors by asking questions and discussing class topics. Not all professors will want to spend this time with students, however, but my experience has been very positive with only 1 professor in a hurry to get out of class. My classes ended at 10:30 PM, and I had to be at work the next morning at 5 AM–I stayed anyway to ask questions–it was well worth it.
This just makes sense. The more time you spend with a professor, the more the two of you will become familiar with each other. I purposely took classes taught by deans and other administrative leaders to develop such relationships. Doing well in these courses will help ensure great recommendations.
3) Make time, if possible, to visit the administrative offices. I was always in the office to work out my degree plan, take CLEP tests, etc. When I saw a professor or dean I recognized, I would be sure to initiate polite conversation.

Dizo Watch 2 Review: Basic features, average performance, good value
Ameya Dalvi
Published on Dec 10, 2021, 12:43 am 8 Mins Read
Dizo Watch 2 Review
Those with a budget of Rs. 2,500 or less seeking an entry to fitness wearables space generally opt for fitness bands. The decision is mainly dictated by the fact that there are hardly any good fitness watches available in that budget. However, Realme's sub-brand plans to change that with the launch of the Dizo Watch 2 that promises to offer more than a standard set of features and a larger display at a very attractive price. The company plans to go two steps further by offering a metal frame, 50 meters water resistance and 10 days of battery backup in addition to an oximeter and all day heart rate monitoring. It seems too good to be true at its asking price. Time to figure out if the Dizo Watch 2 can deliver on the promises.
Design and comfort
Looks a bit more premium than it actually is
The build quality and finish are pretty good and make the watch look more premium
The Dizo Watch 2 has a standard rectangular frame and looks like any other budget fitness watch, but there's one difference. Unlike most watches that have a plastic frame, the one here is made of Zinc alloy lending an extra bit of ruggedness. The build quality and finish are pretty good and make the watch look a bit more premium than it actually is. The gray variant that we received for review has a glossy outer ring that attracts a few smudge marks. The silicone straps feel comfortable and do not cause skin irritation even after wearing it for the better part of the day. Even better, the straps have a standard 22 mm width, and can be replaced with any third party straps of the same width. The weight of the watch is slightly on the higher side at 52.5 grams with the bundled straps, but it doesn't feel too heavy. The watch is 5ATM water resistant and you can take it for a swim in up to 50 meters deep water. The SpO2 and heart rate sensors can be found at the back, along with the charging points. You get one physical button on the right side that turns the screen on and off when pressed and also serves as a Home button from all other screens. Beyond that, the touchscreen display lets you browse through the menus and different functions of this watch.
Display and watch-faces
Above average display but just one watch-face slot on watch
You supposedly get over a 100 watch-faces for the Dizo Watch 2
Speaking of display, the one on the Dizo Watch 2 measures 1.69 inches diagonally. For some reason, the resolution of the screen hasn't been mentioned in the spec-sheet. That made me a little suspicious, but the screen turned out to be surprisingly good for an entry-level fitness watch. Though it's a normal TFT-LCD display, the color reproduction is good, and it's fairly sharp. The screen is protected against scratches by a 2.5D glass that blends nicely into the outer rim. It has five levels of brightness, and while level three is bright enough when you are away from the sun, you need to push it to level four or five under bright sunlight. As always, you can wake the screen by either flicking your wrist or pressing the physical button. The screen takes a minimum of two seconds to respond after you flick your wrist, and that's slower than usual. Beyond that, there is very little to complain about the screen. You supposedly get over a 100 watch-faces for the Dizo Watch 2 with a mix of digital and analog faces, and some that display fitness information like steps count, heart rate, calories burned etc. I did not find the faces too appealing but it's a subjective matter. What isn't is the fact that you can only store one watch-face of your choosing on the watch. Every time you want to change it, you need to go back to the companion app to do the needful.
UI and app
Simple user interface, basic and uncomplicated companion app
You get a list with the function name for everything present in the app drawer
Unlike Dizo wireless earphones that work with the Realme Link app, you need to download and install the Dizo app to sync this watch with. It is fairly basic for now, which isn't a bad thing as it keeps things simple. Other than certain watch settings and the watch-face collection, you get five cards on the home screen that display the daily activity progress, latest workout data, heart rate, sleep data and SpO2 level. You can tap on the respective cards for some more information, but again, the information is elementary and not too detailed. For instance, sleep data only covers the quantum of deep sleep, light sleep and awake time; no REM sleep information or in-depth sleep quality analysis. Same goes for workout data, but then let's not forget this is an entry-level watch meant for beginners. Keeping that in mind, the user interface is as simple as it gets. If you have used a Realme fitness watch before, it is pretty much the same. You have four basic gestures -- swipe down for notifications, swipe up to access apps library, swipe right for quick settings and left to see a handful of widgets like daily activity progress, sleep info, heart rate, weather updates and music playback. Within a menu, swiping right takes you to the previous screen, and pressing the physical button takes you to the home screen from anywhere. You have a choice between a grid of small icons or a list with the function name for everything present in the app drawer. The UI is smooth and lag free with a handful of basic transition effects. Like every other watch in this price range, you cannot install any additional apps; no surprises there.
Overall performance
Most features work as expected barring the oximeter
The Dizo app has a clean interface and provides basic fitness data
The Dizo Watch 2 has a limited feature set. It can monitor up to 15 different fitness activities ranging from the usual walking, running, cycling, swimming, yoga to some sports like cricket, basketball, badminton, football and a few more. The watch has a PPG heart rate sensor that can monitor your heart rate all day. The frequency of monitoring isn't mentioned, nor is there an option to change it. The walks and runs are tracked with reasonable accuracy. I found the margin of error to be around 5%, which is acceptable for a watch without GPS. While I do not expect built-in GPS at this price-point, it doesn't even support A-GPS (assisted GPS) and cannot make use of GPS in the phone it is paired with. The pedometer does register some false steps even if you are stationary and wave your hands, but doesn't impact your workouts as much. Sleep tracking is also available here, and as I mentioned earlier, it is elementary at best. It does get the overall sleep duration right, but due to the lack of REM sleep measurement, it is hard to trust the deep sleep figures which are consistently higher here as compared to what more advanced watches with better tracking suggest. Stress monitoring isn't available but menstrual tracking is. The Dizo Watch 2 is equipped with an SpO2 sensor, however the readings are seldom accurate. I generally found the readings to be a good five to seven points lower than a clinical oximeter. So, if this watch shows you a low blood oxygen concentration number, do not panic. Simply use a good over-the-counter oximeter to get a second opinion. The SpO2 sensors in budget fitness watches aren't meant to be taken too seriously anyway.
Other features, Battery
Standard set of features beyond fitness, but good battery life
The screen is protected by a 2.5D glass that blends nicely into the outer rim
Beyond fitness, you get the usual set of features like music controls, remote camera shutter and call alerts. You can also opt for notifications from various apps on your phone, and the messages are perfectly legible on the watch's decent sized screen, however, you cannot reply back. Similarly, you can silence or reject calls but not answer them. You also get reminders to drink water or get up and move around every hour. The sedentary reminders aren't implemented smartly and they seem to appear every hour even if you are active at that moment. The company claims that the Dizo Watch 2 can last for 10 days on a full charge, and it's not an exaggeration at all. I managed to get exactly 10 days out of it with screen brightness set to three most of the time, notifications limited to SMS and email, half an hour of daily fitness activity, two oximeter readings per day (just for testing purpose) and three nights of sleep tracking during the period. That is a solid battery backup. Your mileage may vary if you use sleep tracking daily or indulge in more activities in a week, but you should still be able to pull eight days out of it.
Price and verdict
Viable fitness band alternative for beginners on a tight budget
The Dizo Watch 2 is priced at Rs. 2,499 with a one year warranty. At times, you can even purchase it for as low as Rs. 1,999 in online sales, which was also its introductory price for a limited period at launch. Despite its limited features, the pricing is extremely competitive and just right to threaten fitness bands. It can be a good alternative for fitness bands as you get a bigger screen and better battery life without spending extra. Though not perfect, the Dizo Watch 2 is a good entry-level fitness watch for those looking for basic features like steps counter, heart rate monitor, app notifications and good battery backup. Polished looks and 5ATM water resistance are bonuses in this segment. Some of its shortcomings can be overlooked given its price-tag, and that there isn't much competition under Rs. 3,000 yet. A better option (Amazfit Bip U) is available directly close to Rs. 4,000.
Dizo Watch 2 Review Synopsis
Dizo Watch 2 is one of the most affordable fitness watches for beginners that offers basic features and generally acceptable performance for the segment barring a couple of issues.
Good Stuff:
Above average display
Good battery life
5ATM water resistant, swim-proof
Extremely affordable

Erratic oximeter readings
No A-GPS support, stress monitoring
Only one watch-face of your choice can be stored on the watch

'Skoolordes' in stede van 'bedelordes': 'n Heroorweging van die toepaslikheid van die begrip mendīcāns in die (Afrikaanse) Middeleeuse vakregister
Johann Beukes
HTS Teologiese Studies / Theological Studies | Vol 77, No 4 | a6837 | DOI: https://doi.org/10.4102/hts.v77i4.6837 | © 2021 Johann Beukes | This work is licensed under CC Attribution 4.0

'Skoolordes' instead of 'bedelordes': A reconsideration of the applicability of the term mendīcāns in the (Afrikaans) Medieval register. In this article the applicability of the Latin present participle mendīcāns in the (Afrikaans) Medieval register, with reference to the development of the four mendicant orders in the Medieval Latin West from the early 13th century onward, is reconsidered. The term mendīcāns is customarily translated as mendicant in English and as bedelend in Afrikaans (including the terminological transition to bedelordes and bedelmonnike) and familial languages such as Dutch (bedelorden and bedelmonniken) and German (Bettelorden and Bettelmönche). While the English application is by its Latinised nature subtle and not explicitly value-laden (referring not to begging but to the Latin participle mendīcāns), this is not the case in the latter languages. In the translation and terminological application of mendīcāns as bedelend in these languages, the profoundly condescending and Medievalist-patronising notion of 'begging' (which is wholly different from 'receiving alms') becomes prevalent. When, however, the idea-historical development of the term mendīcāns is reconsidered (particularly in the context of the Franciscan interpretation of the relation between usus [sustainable use within the milieu of idealised corporate poverty; ordo habeat usum, per Bonaventure]) and dominium [private ownership]), and taking into account that bedel refers not to social reciprocity (as it should in this context) but to a form of static and unilateral economic action, it seems sensible to review the term, at least in the latter languages, by a less value-determined alternative, such as skool (school). The four mendicant orders originating in the first decades of the 13th century (the Augustinians, Carmelites, Dominicans and Franciscans), shared a prominent feature, apart from not allowing themselves to own private property and the fact that they were indeed dependent on local communities for material (explicitly non-financial) support, namely the administration and conservation of a unique educational system of studia or local 'boarding schools', which functioned in a Venn-diagrammatical relationship with the young universities of the 12th century onward. The studia contributed in an unparalleled way to the academic formation of undergraduate students throughout the Medieval West. Rather than fixating on a static and arbitrary economic notion such as bedel, the vibrant academic achievements of the mendicant orders should instead be considered as their epitomising common feature – and should accordingly be reflected as such in the term describing them.
Contribution: This re-evaluation of the applicability of the Latin term mendīcāns in the Medieval register contributes to the development and ongoing refinement of the Medieval register in specifically the Afrikaans language, whereby the English translations 'mendicant friar' and 'mendicant orders', translated and applied from mendīcāns as bedelmonnike and bedelordes in Afrikaans, be henceforth instead referred to as skoolmonnike and skoolordes.

My Life in Dog Years is a non-fiction book for children written by the American author Gary Paulsen, together with his wife, Ruth Wright Paulsen. It was published first by Delacorte Press in 1997.

The book contains a chapter about each different dog in his life. As he goes through each chapter, he delves into the personality of each dog as companions and not just animals.

It begins with Cookie, a dog which rescued him from a fall through the ice while dog sled racing. Next he talks about Snowball, a dog he owned in the Philippines at age 7 (his first) who was killed in a military truck accident. It then discusses Ike, dog that became attached to him during a hunting trip. Ike continues to accompany him for about a year, but then disappears. Paulsen later discovers that Ike's owner had to leave him when he went to the war. When he returned with an injury, Ike returned to him.

Dirk, next, is a dog that he adopted during his adolescence, and served as a protector during a difficult period. While working on a farm, he met Rex, a rough collie, whom he considered one of the smartest dogs he ever knew after observing his activities for a day. He later adopted an exceptionally large Great Dane, Caesar (pronounced See-Zer) who was easily excited, but a gentle giant that loved hot dogs.

The author later became a dog sled racer. At one point, he traded one of his best dogs for Quincy, who was later to save his wife from a bear despite being only nine inches tall. The last chapter is about his current dog at the time, Josh. It is clear that Josh is one of the author's favorite dogs, as he has the most to write about him. At the time the book was written, Josh was about 20 years old.  Josh was known as the smartest dog in the world.

Q: Como aplicar uma mesma condição/operação para cada elemento de um vetor em C Oi, pessoal!
Eu preciso realizar uma mesma operação para todos os elementos de um dado vetor. Como fazer isso?
Mais especificamente, eu preciso verificar se um elemento qualquer "x" tem, nas suas duas posições adjacentes maiores que x, um número que seja igual a x+1 ou x+2. E, no caso, eu preciso verificar se essa mesma condição é válida para os outros elementos em posições maiores que vetor[x] (ou seja, preciso aplicar isso para "x" e para os n valores nas posições maiores que a de "x").
Para facilitar o entendimento, vou exemplificar. Suponha que temos a seguinte entrada:

1 2 4 5 6 8 9 12

Para esse caso, suponha que x=4.
O meu código precisa fazer algo mais ou menos assim:
5 = 4+1 ou 4+2? Sim.
6 = 4+1 ou 4+2? Sim.
6 = 5+1 ou 5+2? Sim.
8 = 5+1 ou 5+2? Não.
8 = 6+1 ou 6+2? Sim.
9 = 6+1 ou 6+2? Não.
9 = 8+1 ou 8+2? Sim.
12 = 8+1 ou 8+2? Não.
12 = 9+1 ou 9+2? Não.
E aí o programa para depois de ter feito todas essas verificações para os elementos iguais ou maiores que x. E aí o programa deveria mostrar na tela todos os casos "sim".
Consegui fazer isso para x, mas eu não tenho ideia de como fazer para os outros casos que preciso. Eu gostaria de ter pelo menos alguma noção do que eu posso tentar...
Pensei em fazer o que eu quero em um vetor e passar os elementos selecionados para um outro vetor, e aí mostrar na tela. Mas eu não sei como fazer isso... Acho que primeiro eu precisaria manipular os elementos maiores que "x", mas como?
Por enquanto, tentei isso em C:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int verifica_proximas_posicoes(int i, int x) {
    if((i == x + 1) || (i == x + 2)){
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

int main(){

    int i, numero, vetor[8], vetor1[8];

    printf("Escreva todos os elementos do vetor:\n");
    for(i=0; i<8; i++){
        scanf("%d", &vetor[i]);
    }
    printf("Escreva o número que deseja:\n");
    scanf("%d", &numero);

    for(i=numero; i<=8; i++){
        if(verifica_proximas_posicoes(i+1, numero)){
            vetor1[i] = vetor[i];
            printf("%d ", vetor1[i]);
        }
    }

A: Eu acredito que este código pode te ajudar a entender melhor como você pode chegar na solução para o seu problema.
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  // Estas variáveis foram declaradas estaticamente com a finalidade de
  // explicar melhor o funcionamento do programa por si só, mas acredito
  // que você pode ler essas variáveis dinamicamente na sua implementação
  int index_of_x = 2, x = 4, vetor_inicial[] = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12},
      tamanho_do_vetor = 8;

  for (int i = index_of_x + 1; i < tamanho_do_vetor; i++, x++) {
    if (vetor_inicial[i] == x + 1 || vetor_inicial[i] == x + 2) {
      printf("%d = %d+1 ou %d+2? Sim.\n", vetor_inicial[i], x, x);
    } else
      printf("%d = %d+1 ou %d+2? Não.\n", vetor_inicial[i], x, x);

    // Para evitar que o programa leia dados inválidos.
    if (i + 1 == tamanho_do_vetor) break;

    if (vetor_inicial[i + 1] == x + 1 || vetor_inicial[i + 1] == x + 2) {
      printf("%d = %d+1 ou %d+2? Sim.\n", vetor_inicial[i + 1], x, x);
    } else
      printf("%d = %d+1 ou %d+2? Não.\n", vetor_inicial[i + 1], x, x);
  }

  return 0;
}

Este código produziu o seguinte resultado:
5 = 4+1 ou 4+2? Sim.
6 = 4+1 ou 4+2? Sim.
6 = 5+1 ou 5+2? Sim.
8 = 5+1 ou 5+2? Não.
8 = 6+1 ou 6+2? Sim.
9 = 6+1 ou 6+2? Não.
9 = 7+1 ou 7+2? Sim.
12 = 7+1 ou 7+2? Não.
12 = 8+1 ou 8+2? Não.
