Batwoman Joins The Fun In Elseworlds Night 2 Promo
Eric Joseph Dec 9, 2018 9:41 pm 2018-12-09T21:47:09-05:00
Now that the first chapter in the "Elseworlds" crossover epic is behind us, it's getting easier to imagine this going down as the Arrowverse's best mega event to date. Granted, it faces stiff competition in predecessor "Crisis on Earth-X," but there was so much fan service delivered tonight that it could make your head spin.
Seeing as how this year's mashup is a bit more personal due to Oliver Queen and Barry Allen trading places as Green Arrow and the Flash, there hasn't been much need to cram in as many heroes as possible. As such, I very much enjoyed the buddy cop element present throughout tonight's episode because we seldom see just those two guys working together.
Still, Supergirl and Superman partook in the battle against Amazo, which served as the android's proper introduction into this continuity (I'm not sure we can count a ship named for him in Arrow season 2). But shortly after everybody had a moment to readjust, Clark returned to Earth-38 in time for the rest of the gang to shift their focus to Gotham City.
With that, we have our cue to discuss the next phase in the crossover, which will introduce us to Ruby Rose's Batwoman. And if you require an appetizer of sorts, know that you can find it at the top of this article in the form of a promo.

Needless to say, there's a lot riding on tomorrow night's installment because it'll essentially serve as a backdoor pilot for the prospective Batwoman TV series. But considering how The CW has a pretty solid track record when it comes to DC-based programming, we're expecting for things to go smoothly for Kate Kane from here on out.
For more on what's to come, be sure to check out the official synopsis for "Elseworlds, Part 2":
THE ELSEWORLDS CROSSOVER CONTINUES IN GOTHAM CITY WITH BATWOMAN (RUBY ROSE) — With Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) still stuck in the other's bodies, the two get a lead on John Deegan (guest star Jeremy Davies) and head to Gotham City with Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist) to figure out why their reality has changed. While there, they meet the mysterious Kate Kane (guest star Ruby Rose) who provides them with information that leads the group to Arkham Asylum. James Bamford directed the episode with teleplay by Marc Guggenheim and story by Caroline Dries.
"Elseworlds" continues this Monday night, December 10, on Arrow before wrapping up on Tuesday, December 11 on Supergirl.
One of the worst remakes of all-time washes up on the Netflix charts
Gerard Butler's best-reviewed action thriller hits big on Netflix


If it's doing its job, you don't give it a second thought. But...when hot water is elusive for your morning shower and that sink full of dishes, or even worse, its contents are inches deep on the floor and seeping through the walls, your water heater has your full attention.
The average life span of a water heater is about 10 years. Rusting and build up of sediment in the tank could shorten its life while some preventative maintenance may extend it.
How to make life a little easier on your water heater?
· Twice a year, drain a bucket of water from your hot water storage tank until it runs clear (about five gallons). This removes sediment that absorbs heat energy and causes the unit to waste fuel. Be sure to check your appliance's owner's manual for instructions.
· Anti-corrosion anode rods in your water heater protect against rusting. The anode attracts corrosion that would otherwise attack the tank's wall. Having a plumber replace the anodes every three to four years could add to the life of your tank.
· Strapping your water heater to the wall studs can help to keep it from breaking loose of its connections during an earthquake. Insulating the storage tank and pipes can help reduce heat loss. Kits and materials for both these projects can be found at hardware stores or home improvement centers.
· For gas-fueled water heaters, check the flue assembly twice a year to be sure it's properly aligned and all its joints are sealed. If you ever smell gas, leave your house immediately and call your gas company for help.

"Ships" is a rock ballad written and originally performed by British musician Ian Hunter. The song was first released on Hunter's fourth solo album, You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic in 1979. It was later recorded by singer Barry Manilow for his sixth studio album, One Voice. His version peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is said to be about Hunter's relationship with his father.

3 Ships is the fourth solo album by Yes lead singer Jon Anderson, released on Elektra Records in 1985. It includes versions of traditional Christmas carols as well as original material by Anderson. The album title references the song "I Saw Three Ships," which states, "I saw three ships come sailing in, on Christmas day in the morning". It was dedicated to the organisation Beyond War.
The 'Holiday Card Pack, Jon Anderson Special Edition' came with a personal autograph from Jon, as well as a set of five Christmas cards. Each card displayed an image of an Anderson watercolour painting.
3 Ships was reissued on Compact Disc in 2007. This remastered '22nd Anniversary Edition' contains all of the album's original songs, plus five bonus tracks, two of which were previously unreleased.
The album received only a single star from Sounds reviewer Hugh Fielder, who called it a "soppy retreat from realism".

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Rockets were lightweight, streamlined diesel-electric passenger trains built by the Budd Company. These six trains were the first streamlined equipment purchased by the Rock Island, as well as being its first diesel-powered passenger trains. Four of the trains consisted of 3 cars each, the other two each had 4 cars.
The stainless steel trains were each powered by an Electro-Motive Corporation model TA locomotive. Unlike many other early streamlined trains, the locomotives were not permanently attached to the trains.
The trains were partially articulated, however the observation cars were not articulated with the rest of the trainsets.
The six trains as originally assigned were:
The Peoria Rocket, Chicago, Illinois to Peoria, Illinois
Articulated 3 car set:

Galactik Football is a French animated television series, co-produced by Alphanim, France 2, Jetix Europe, and Welkin-Animation. Its third 26-episode season aired in Europe in June 2010.
In the universe of Galactik Football, the inhabited worlds of the Zaelion Galaxy compete in Galactik Football, a sport analogous to football, but played seven to a side. The game is complicated by the addition of Flux, which enhances a player's attributes such as speed, strength, and agility, or grants special powers such as teleportation. The story follows the fate of an inexperienced Galactik Football team, the Snow Kids, as they aim to compete in the Galactik Football Cup.
The story begins during a football match between the home team of planet Akillian and the Shadows. As Aarch, captain of the Akillians, takes a direct free kick, an explosion is heard and an avalanche sweeps over the stadium, marking the beginning of the Akillian Ice Age and the loss of The Breath, Akillian's Flux.

The main thing that brings me to school each and every Saturday is because I want to learn and pass at the end of the year and that's exactly what ASSET on Saturdays is giving me, to improve the subjects that I don't perform well in. I would say ASSET is really doing a great job. I've seen the result when writing control tests. I used to fail Maths but because of Saturday school, I have learnt much, and I thank them a lot.


Boost your nutritional IQ with these 10 important facts about fiber.
In a recent business meeting, one employee was being especially cantankerous and another remarked that the first obviously needed more fiber in his diet. Everyone laughed and the meeting continued.
The point of this anecdote is that everyone at the meeting knew that fiber in the diet is a good thing, and that its absence can make us cranky. What they might not have known is why, nor the other remarkable benefits that accrue with adequate dietary fiber. They might be especially interested to know that fiber is a vital key to staying slim.
On the theory that we're more likely to do the stuff that's good for us if we understand why it's good for us, here are the top 10 things you should know about fiber, along with some recommendations for tasty, inexpensive ways to boost the amount of fiber in your diet.
Fiber refers to the parts of plants that humans can't digest. Generally classified as either soluble or insoluble fiber, it is found in varying amounts in all vegetables and fruits. The American diet is extremely low in fiber because we traditionally have focused on refined grain products, such as white breads and pastas, and eat few vegetables and fruits. Insufficient fiber in the diet can cause constipation, which is not only uncomfortable, but also extremely unhealthy. Good sources of fiber include whole-grain breads and cereals, beans, bran, vegetables and fruit. Flax seed and psyllium seed are also superb sources of fiber. Fiber supplements are available, but food sources are more often recommended because they provide whole nutrition.
It's hard to imagine another simple lifestyle change that could have such far-reaching implications as simply reaching for whole-grain bread and fresh fruit. If you aren't in the habit of eating fiber-rich foods, start slowly and go for what you find most delicious first. You may not be a bean fan, but you've always enjoyed strawberries. Maybe fruit has never appealed to you, but you just can't get enough carrots. Slow and steady wins the race, and the prize at the end of the road is your health. That's worth making some changes for, isn't it?
1 Fiber helps add volume to your meals without adding calories. It also helps your digestion by assisting the peristaltic process, allowing digested food to move more easily and more quickly through the colon. Fiber helps sweep away harmful toxins.
2 A high-fiber meal helps stave off hunger because its cellular structure takes longer to break down in the intestinal tract. While it's there, you don't feel as though the fuel tank is empty.
3 Fiber helps reduce the absorption of fat from food and drinks and can help prevent obesity.
4 High-fiber foods give you more energy on a sustained basis because they help maintain stable blood glucose levels. The energy is released steadily over time, rather than in short bursts, like sugar provides.
5 The recommended average daily allowance for fiber is between 20 and 35 grams. For example, one cup of cooked beans has about 12 grams of fiber, a slice of whole-grain bread has about 2 grams, and an apple has about 3 grams.
6 Most Americans eat less than 50 percent of this suggested daily fiber intake. Where do you fit on the fiber continuum?
7 A high-fiber diet reduces your risk of cancer. Insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve in water, so it moves food through your gut more quickly, which decreases your exposure to carcinogens. It also helps cleanse your colon as it moves along, acting like tiny brushes that sweep the colon walls free of potential toxins.
8 Diets high in fiber help the body absorb certain vitamins and minerals during the digestive process. This is accomplished when soluble fibers are broken down and become absorbed in the intestines rather than in the stomach.
9 Soluble fiber also helps lower blood cholesterol. A happy coincidence is that foods with plenty of soluble fiber are also delicious: oats, oat bran, oatmeal, peas, beans, barley, citrus fruits and strawberries, to name the stars.
10 Insoluble fiber is a critical part of normal bowel function. If you eat a diet rich in wheat cereals, wheat bran, grains such as rye, brown rice and barley; vegetables such as cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts and turnips; and, everybody's favorite, the apple, you may never need a laxative.
Kathryn Compton is editor in chief of Herbs for Health.
I don't know why I always wait for winter to prepare this. Maybe because my mother pushed oatmeal as the perfect winter breakfast because it would stick to our ribs while we were out playing in the snow. You can make it any time of the year and will find it a surpassingly tasty way to start the day.
Bring the water to a boil, turn down heat and stir in oats and salt. Cook for 3 minutes or so (I like mine chewy), or until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat, spoon into two bowls. Sprinkle all the other ingredients over the top, give it a dollop of molasses or honey and a splash of low-fat milk. Write us a nice thank-you note for sharing this delicacy with you.

Here's How Nokia Creates Its Maps [VIDEO]
By Emily Price 2012-11-20 21:28:56 UTC
Nokia Here, the company's upgraded and re-branded location services, launched on iOS Tuesday. The launch follows the company's big unveiling of the service last week, which takes advantage of Nokia's 3D maps.
After the event, Nokia was kind enough to show me how it creates its maps, taking me on a ride around San Francisco.
To create Here maps, Nokia is using a fleet of Volkswagen Jettas — 45 of them to be exact — to capture 3D representations of roadways and the surrounding environment. The cars don't just take into account the buildings they drive by, they're also capable of mapping street signs and even elevation.
That data can then be used provide drivers with fuel-efficient routes to their destination. For instance, Nokia knows where all the hills are in downtown San Francisco and could potentially create a driving or walking route that helps you bypass those hills –- saving fuel or energy. In the long term, it could help self-driving cars navigate through cities.
To make all that magic happen, the cars are outfitted with over $25,000 worth of computing and mapping equipment. The top of the car has a 360-degree LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) set up, which uses rotating lasers to capture 1.3 million 3D digital data points every second, essentially recreating the world around it in 3D. Panoramic cameras capture 360-degree images synchronized with the LIDAR points. (Check out all the cool mapping toys in the gallery below.)
SEE ALSO: Nokia Shows Off The Future of Maps With 'Here'
To ensure that the car knows exactly where it is and gets an accurate representation of distance, the vehicles are outfitted with military-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors to measure speed, orientation, and gravitational forces as well as GPS sensors.
Vehicles are most often driven by professional drivers, who are assigned a certain route to drive in the car each day. Focused more on attractions rather than homes and residential areas, Nokia's drivers are traditionally assigned city streets and places travelers might be looking for over residential areas that are primarily homes.
As drivers are often experts on their particular city, they'll often suggest changing areas that need to be re-mapped, and provide input on landmarks that can be used for future directions. In the future, for instance, Nokia's turn-by-turn directions might tell you to "Turn right at the horse statue," rather than onto a street that might not be clearly marked.
How do you like Here, and how could it be improved? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Mapping On-the-Fly
Drivers can see 3D representations of the streets they're driving on appear on the screen as they drive.
Long term the data collected by the cars can be used to help self-driving cars navigate through cities, and help provide drivers with fuel-efficient routes to their destination. For instance, Nokia knows where all the hills are in downtown San Francisco, and could potentially create a driving or walking route that helps you bypass those hills – saving fuel or energy – rather than directing you directly up one.
Fans In the Rear
Since the trunk of the car is packed with computer equipment, the Here cars have fans in the back seat to help cool the equipment in the rear.
Full Trunk
The trunk in the car is full of computers and storage for all of the data the car collects.

Dearly: New Poems
Free download online Dearly: New Poems CHM 9780063032491
Notes From Your Bookseller We not only love the way Margaret Atwood sees the world, we also love the way she describes the world. From sensuality in nature to growing older (which, in Atwood's world is OK for the faint of heart and memories of the past), the poems in Dearly display a sensitive understanding of the human condition with just the right amount of humor peppered throughout. It's a joy to move through this collection; to understand the change of seasons and the wonderful world that surrounds us. In Dearly, Margaret Atwood's first collection of poetry in over a decade, Atwood addresses themes such as love, loss, the passage of time, the nature of nature and - zombies. Her new poetry is introspective and personal in tone, but wide-ranging in topic. In poem after poem, she casts her unique imagination and unyielding, observant eye over the landscape of a life carefully and intuitively lived. While many are familiar with Margaret Atwood's fiction—including her groundbreaking and bestselling novels The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, among others—she has, from the beginning of her career, been one of our most significant contemporary poets. And she is one of the very few writers equally accomplished in fiction and poetry. This collection is a stunning achievement that will be appreciated by fans of her novels and poetry readers alike.

Cybersecurity Lessons from Safety
Experts have long advocated for the alignment of cybersecurity and safety to ensure overlapping protections. A number of methods, from protection layering to analytical methods, provide guidance on how to achieve this.
James R. KoelschContributing Editor
Cybersecurity needs to be thoroughly ingrained in manufacturing operations, much like safety has generally become today. That's why many cybersecurity advocates have long proposed that automation professionals exploit some of the similarities between cybersecurity and safety. The idea is to adapt best practices from safety to defend against cyberattacks.
"There are decades of experience in applying safety standards and best practices," explains Luis Duran, global product manager for safety systems at ABB. "And that experience can be beneficial for establishing new best practices for dealing with a different problem like cybersecurity."
"Safety practices are already more widely understood and ingrained than cybersecurity practices," adds Alexandre Peixoto, product manager for DeltaV cybersecurity at Emerson Automation Solutions. "So, safety comparisons help a lot with cybersecurity acceptance."
These comparisons are possible because the two disciplines are alike in important ways. Fundamentally, both are aimed at managing risks that never completely go away. Just as carelessness or unforeseen circumstances can foil well-devised safety practices, a concerted effort undertaken by a skilled attacker will eventually get past even the best cyber defenses.
The general security strategy from this vantage point is to mitigate risk by erecting several layers of defense, each aimed at preventing incidents from occurring or containing damage if defenses are eventually breached. "An effective cybersecurity posture for industrial control systems is based on a defense-in-depth strategy, which is much like the layers-of-protection analysis for safety systems," says Peixoto.
This means that, like safety, cybersecurity must be designed into control networks from the outset. "Too often, manufacturing organizations add cybersecurity defenses later," observes Peixoto. "It's more expensive and rarely as effective as building cybersecurity into the project."
The implementation of safety and cybersecurity, moreover, must go beyond technical solutions. "Both also require behavioral and cultural change," explains Peixoto. "A deeply rooted understanding of the 'why' and 'how' among everyone in the company—from management to plant personnel—is critical to driving meaningful behavioral change in cybersecurity."
Manufacturers must, therefore, support this strategy by developing policies and procedures and conducting periodic training, as they do for their safety programs. "It's paramount that the asset owner has policies and procedures defined and enforced so that secure operating procedures are clear and known by everyone in the plant," stresses Peixoto.
For both safety and cybersecurity, however, risk mitigation is not really a destination that is ever reached. Instead, Duran at ABB calls it a journey, one that requires continued vigilance, preparedness, and action suited to each stage of each asset's lifecycle. "Users should periodically reassess established practices and determine whether or not they are working," he says.
Called cybersafety, the four-step method diagrammed here describes how to analyze the cybersecurity of manufacturing operations. MIT researchers developed this method by adapting a model for analyzing accidents to apply it to cyberattacks on cyber-physical systems. Courtesy of the MIT.
Similar but different
Despite these similarities, the idea of using safety as a model for cybersecurity in industrial automation has not yet been widely implemented in industry. The reasons tend to revolve around some crucial differences between the two disciplines.
First is the lack of regulations mandating cybersecurity. Whereas regulatory bodies have been requiring and enforcing various safety standards in industry for decades now, cybersecurity standards for industrial automation are not only relatively new, but also tend to be voluntary. Hence, their adoption has mostly depended on the manufacturing organization and its perception of the risk of not implementing them.
Recently, however, Dr. Alexander Horch, vice president of research and development and product management at the Hima Group, has noticed a welcome trend. "Companies in the process industry are increasingly recognizing the importance of safety and security standards for the safety and economic viability of their plants," he says. The main standards the process industry follows are IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 for safety, and the IEC 62443 cybersecurity standard.
Horch believes that complying with such standards is as important to defending against cyberattacks as it has been for improving safety. "For safety, it has worked brilliantly for 50 years," he says. "For security, though, the standard is necessary, but not sufficient. Since the threat is constantly changing, security must also be constantly checked, not only for function, but also for effectiveness."
This constantly changing landscape is perhaps the most crucial way that cybersecurity differs from safety. "In safety, we strive to understand the physical process and how various failures in the operation or design could create dangerous conditions," explains Duran at ABB. "Then, we design mitigations. We generally do not expect new failure modes to materialize.
With cybersecurity, the situation is different. "We have to deal with malicious intent, which is very unpredictable," says Donovan Tindill, a cybersecurity expert at Honeywell Connected Enterprise. "It's more about the nature of the threat. What are the capabilities and motivations of the attackers, and how do they compare to the cybersecurity to protect the control system?"
In addition to these factors, the strategies used by the attackers are also constantly evolving, making it difficult to predict the likelihood of success or failure of any attack. Consequently, process and security designers generally cannot rely on a body of statistics similar to the data on equipment failure that is available for safety engineering.
Another factor contributing to the unpredictability of cyberattacks is the constant evolution of technology. "Each time a new technology is invented—like cloud computing, mobile devices, and quantum computing—it introduces a new set of cybersecurity challenges," notes Tindill. New controls for protection and detection must be developed and integrated into business processes and technology.
The unpredictability of cyberattacks means that designers are really guarding against different kinds of error. "Functional safety essentially deals with random errors, while security attacks are more likely to be systematic errors due to weaknesses," says Horch.
These fundamental differences lead to different implementation strategies. "Safety is usually done once, and the effectiveness of the measures taken is checked regularly," he says. "Security has to be done constantly, because the risk is constantly changing."
"You need to keep evaluating the threat landscape, as well as the probing indicators," adds Duran at ABB. "This means active monitoring of edge firewalls and system networks. It also means active involvement with the industrial control system cybersecurity community to share information and learn about trends so that you can prepare and adapt."

A new approach
Taking these key differences into account, researchers continue to leverage the similarities between safety and cybersecurity to apply lessons learned. One result of this search has been cybersafety, a top-down analytical method developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This method is an adaptation of a model developed by Nancy Levering at MIT 15 years ago for analyzing accidents of all kinds.
This new cybersafety method has four steps, according to Stuart Madnick, a professor at MIT and the founding director of Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan Consortium. The first step is to identify exactly what in the process needs to be protected. The idea is to identify unacceptable losses and the key risks that could lead to them.
Unfortunately, this exercise is not one that most companies do on a regular basis. "When you ask what are the most important functions in your business are, most executives stumble around, trying to think that through clearly," reports Madnick. "And if they give you an answer, they often change their minds in retrospect." Consequently, he stresses the need for taking the time up front to carefully identify what needs to be protected.
Once a company performs this exercise, the second step in MIT's cybersafety method is to develop a model of who or what controls the activities that occur at each function. This control hierarchy must include every influence, whether it be mechanical, computerized, or human. Who or what determines the state of the activity at hand? Then, who or what controls that controller? And the questions continue recursively at every supervisory level higher in the control hierarchy, all the way to the executive suite and even beyond to outside regulatory bodies.
Engineers can use this information to execute the third step, which is identifying control actions that could be unsafe, disruptive, or damaging. Here, Madnick says the key is to think about what the process could do, rather than what it is supposed to do. For example, what would happen if a corrupted sensor signal prevented a controller from taking corrective action or caused it to act at the wrong time? What problems would be caused by changing a sign in a variable-speed drive to make the motor run backwards?
The fourth and final step is to hypothesize how controllers could interact to issue unsafe commands, given the malicious actions of an attacker. Analysts can now identify new requirements that would prevent the worst possible outcomes named in step one.
To help with these kinds of studies, some companies are hiring external experts to conduct periodic security audits and threat tests. "This amounts to proactively employing hackers to find potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by other hackers," says Horch.
Conduct regular drills
Besides using a top-down analysis to identify risks, another best practice that cybersecurity can borrow from safety programs is to conduct regular drills. The goal here is not so much to train workers for every possible kind of attack, but to establish the necessary mindset. "Most engineers did not study cybersecurity in college, especially if they went to college more than ten years ago," notes Madnick. "So, it isn't on their minds."
He points to the attack that a disgruntled contractor launched against the Maroochy Shire water authority in Australia back in 2000. When the series of sewage spillages and other problems began occurring, the staff just assumed that the incidents were due to a string of bad luck. "They didn't even consider the possibility that they had been under a cyberattack for three months," says Madnick. "Unfortunately, that situation still remains true in many manufacturing facilities."
Regular cyber-incident drills can change that by sensitizing personnel to consider this possibility much earlier. "In a cybersecurity incident, the time that it takes to detect suspicious system behavior or compromise and to respond has a direct relationship to the severity of the impact," says Tindill.
Drills are also a good way to train the operations staff. Not only are drills an opportunity to practice responding to attacks, they are also effective at transferring knowledge to less experienced staffers. "Your most senior person may not be present when a cyber-incident occurs," notes Tindill.
Besides drills, he also advocates other measures common in safety initiatives, such as educational seminars, reminders, awareness campaigns, compliance controls, and studying data collected from behavior-based and near-miss reporting.

"a compelling glimpse into a life spinning out of control.
Shortlisted for the Dumfries and Burgh Book award.
The Irish Examiner – A triumph of teenage fiction.
In Spider the author skilfully juggles the voices of three very different teenagers – Spider, Andy and Deanna in a pacy, touching story that never palls ….. the Run – ie racing through a narrow alley in a stolen car – and the consequences of that, are what bind the story in a compelling, insightful intertwining of credible characters.
You can almost hear the wheels spin, smell the tyres burn.
When the accident happens it's with a sickening inevitability. We then share the thoughts of the main characters as they await recrimination and attempt both physical and mental recovery. Spider believes it's entirely his fault for drawing others into his web. Strachan, however, allows the reader to see a bigger picture of leaders and their followers.
Armadillo – Linda Strachan is such a compelling writer….
My life was sorted. Well, I thought so – I was pretty stupid. Ducking and diving here and there, thieving – just small things, twocking the odd car for a Run. A real peach of a girlfriend – rich too – and I had a reputation as a bit of a hard man.What more could I ask?
Some might say I got exactly what I was asking for and maybe they're right.
I just don't know or care any more. Thought I was so clever; but you can't hide from some things and when your nightmares come true….
I had one last night. A nightmare. I didn't sleep much, so it must have been in one of those moments when you just drift off. But it was so bad I woke up screaming silently, shaking and sweating, tears streaming from my eyes, not sure where I was.
But that's probably not surprising, is it?
It was shadowy and dark in my nightmare and I was looking at Deanna. She was crying and I couldn't get her to stop. There was something in her arms but she wouldn't let me see it. Her hand was covering it and when she lifted her hand for a moment it was dripping with dark red blood. She started yelling at me.
"See what you did, Spider!" I wanted to shout back that I didn't do it; I didn't mean it to happen.
I wanted to tell her that I was sorry, so sorry….


fathersullivan.com: All truth can be found in Christ.
The first reading, in speaking of God as Wisdom said, "Those who trust in him shall understand truth." In a round-about way that sentence reminds us of how St. Thomas Aquinas used the opening chapter of John's Gospel to explain the essence of Truth.
John wrote, "The Word was with God , and the Word was God, and all things were created through him," and Thomas gave an explanation for those words. He told us that God always had a perfect mental picture of himself. That mental picture of himself is what John's Gospel calls the Word.
In saying that all things were made through the Word, John was saying that God, looking at his perfect mental self image, saw all the forms which he would incorporate in creatures. In that mental picture of himself God saw DNA. He saw perfect pitch. He saw what would become your soul and mine.
John, in his Gospel, following on his telling us that the Word became flesh, went on to compare the way Jesus leads us to the Promised Land to the way that the Father led the Chosen People to their physical Promised Land. We see that Chapter One, verses 14, and 17.
14.The Word became flesh and set up his tent with ours; and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father's only Son. 17. Because while only the law was given us through Moses, grace and truth come to us through Jesus.
If you wonder in what way truth comes to us through Jesus, you could Google it. I did, and I read recommendations for finding the truth by reading the Bible. I found that to be too limiting. Since all things were created through the Word, we can count on his being knowledgeable about Literature, Nuclear Science and everything else. We can find all truth in him.


The marker marker keeps the spread between bid and ask prices.
The premium refers to the total amount received for selling the option contract not the option price. The premium means the option's contract price on a per share basis. For example, if the option contract price is shown as $1.25, this means you receive $1.25 per share or $125.00 per contract ($1.25 * 100 shares).
Calculating time value and intrinsic value is simple. You calculate the intrinsic value portion of the option premium, then the remainder is time value. The entire premium of an ATM or OTM call option will to 100% time value. The real value of option premium for sellers is the time value portion of premium. The profit in covered call returns lies solely in time value.
Parity simply means that the option is trading at intrinsic value which occurs to ITM options. Options seldom trade at a few pennies below parity. ITM options then to trade at parity when they are close to expiration or there is no expected volatility in the underlying stock.
Time decay means that the time value portion of the option premium will decay or shrink as time runs out. The intrinsic value never decays due to the passing of time. Time decay increases as the option nears expiration as time decay accelerates in the last 30 days of the options life. people who write covered calls in the current expiration month are seeking income from time decay. Remember, time value is on the side of the option seller not the buyer as time destroys the option premium of the buyers investment.
Theta is the expected change in an option premium for a single day's passage of time. If all other factors are the same, then option premium will be lower the next trading day by the theta value of the option. Theta expresses time decay as an options time value.
When selling time value, you will use a different philosophy than those stock investors looking for a stock to go up in price. Your gains will come from the time value of the options you will sell. This approach to stock selection is unusual. Most investors use fundamental analysis or technical analysis while you will use the time value of s stock's options, tempered by fundamentals and long-term hold principles.
Deciding to create a covered call trade requires choosing an expiration month and strike price. Option strategies require making modifications during the life of an option trade. The option expiration month you select will have significant impact on the success of any option trade.
There are at least four different expiration months available for every stock on which options trade. Initially, the CBOE set up only four months for options but later LEAPS were introduced so it was possible for options to be traded for more than four months on stocks with LEAPS options. When stock options first began trading, each stock was assigned to one of three cycles: January, February or March. Stocks assigned to January cycles will offer options in the months of January, April, July and October. The same quarterly sequence will hold for the February and March option cycles. Under the new rules, the first two months are always available but for the later months the original option cycles are used.
To select a stock for your covered call portfolio, you must have available a current option chain list. You can select the expiration month based on the time value of the stock options and the strike price. Then, if the stock meets your stock selection criteria, but it as the underlying stock in your portfolio.
To get an annual return of 20% or more, you must find available options with time value that will produce a 2% return each month or 5% each three months on the price of the stock. Using the option chain list, you can calculate the percentage of stock price that the time value represents. Of all the optionable stocks, you can find at least 5 to 10 stocks to consider. If the time value seems attractive, then look at the fundamental and technical analysis to make your decisions.
release and other items. Volatility can play a significant role in the pricing of options so the higher priced time value options usually have a significantly higher volatility.


Do online survey panels work in B2B research?
Online survey panels are a researcher's dream – instant, low-cost access to a pre-qualified pool of people willing to take surveys. But perhaps it's too good to be true? That suspicion intensifies when it comes to B2B audiences – are time poor, well-paid executives really going to spend their spare time filling out surveys for random companies in exchange for usually no more than one pound or dollar?
To explore this, here at Circle Research we ran an experiment. We created a survey and sent this out to panel respondents who claimed to be IT decision makers. As the responses came in, we were interested in the answers given to one question designed to determine if these panelists really were, who they say they were. This question gave a list of IT brands and asked respondents to indicate which were suppliers to their organisation. Only one of these brands was real, with the rest comprising made up brand names which bore no resemblance to real brands.
The answer was shocking. The vast majority of respondents selected brands that didn't exist suggesting that they weren't IT decision makers at all. Rather, it's likely that they were consumer respondents or automated bots trying to 'game the system' just to get their hands on the incentive payment.
So, yes, online survey panels can be used to access B2B audiences, but choose your panel partner with care and as a safe-guard include a few trick questions that will let you spot questionable respondents.


No pumpkins around here, or chrysanthemums or Indian corn cobs hung decoratively by their crisp dry husks. No turkeys either, apart from those sitting in the supermarket freezers waiting for the Christmas rush. And no tradition, lovely though it is, of taking a day every year to count blessings and be thankful for them and the friends and family you're sharing them with.
But I bet there aren't many people in New Zealand today who haven't looked at the sun shining on fresh green leaves, bouncy lambs, sparkling water, bright flowers and the faces of those friends and family, and been thankful that they're here, alive and cheerful and with good things to look forward to. Most of them.

Ocean City has the most public beaches -- and some of the most crowded. If you want to make friends, come here. The beach near the southern tip of O.C. is the widest and usually least crowded; a huge parking lot makes this a convenient place for day-trippers. The beach along the boardwalk actually gets quite narrow in a few places. Still, for those who love the boardwalk and all its shops and restaurants, this is the best beach. In northern Ocean City, land of high-rise condos, the beach widens. Crowds depend on the size of the building, but it's easy to find a place for your blanket here.
The inlet at Ocean City's southern end divides touristy O.C. from the wild and pristine beaches of Assateague Island, which doesn't have a single restaurant, gas station, or hotel. Although you can see it across the inlet from Ocean City, it's about an 11-mile drive to the visitor center and parking lots. Most of the 30-mile strip of barrier island is not open to vehicles. It's home to an enormous number of shorebirds, sika deer, and the wild ponies made famous by Marguerite Henry's Misty of Chincoteague books. The visitor center and campgrounds are the only buildings here.
The entire 10-mile stretch of Ocean City beach is open to the public free of charge. Lifeguards are on duty from 10am to 5:30pm all summer. Beach chairs, umbrellas, rafts, and boogie boards can be rented by the day or week. Attendants will position your umbrella and, if you rent for the week, have your umbrella and chairs ready when you arrive each day. They usually accept cash only.
Wicomico Street Bathhouse is at Wicomico and Philadelphia streets, near the southern end of O.C. It's privately operated and charges a fee. Public restrooms are along the boardwalk at Worcester, Caroline, 9th, and 27th streets.
The beach at the inlet at the southern end of the island is set aside for surfers on weekdays in summer. On weekends, check with local radio stations to find out which areas are designated "surf beaches." Signs are also posted, and of course you can also check at local surf shops, including Quiet Storm, 74th Street (tel. 410/723-1316), or Endless Summer Surf Shop, 38th Street (tel. 410/289-3272).
Surf fishing is not permitted within 50 yards of swimmers between 9am and 6pm, so the big poles usually come out in the evening or early morning. When the swimmers go home in the fall, the surf fishermen take over.

Q: Is there a good way to poll in a real-time process which is kernel friendly? I have an application which uses boost asio and I would like to use poll() to detect ready network events (packets) and process them as quickly as possible.
Additionally, I would like to use SCHED_FIFO for this process (which is single threaded) try to control the jitter (main problem I'm trying to solve..)
Now the limitation, the kernel is 2.6.32 (without real-time patch.) Which has the additional problem that there are some kernel processes which run on the core where my app is running which I cannot move out (i.e. the kernel doesn't appear to have true isolation - I know this comes in a later kernel - but I can't upgrade to that yet.)
So, now if I'm unfriendly, and I do the following:
while(some_condition)
  service.poll();

This process will spin the core, and because SCHED_FIFO is set, it will never relinquish to the other kernel processes that need to run on this core, and all sort of unpredictable bad stuff happens. Now my question is, how I can do this poll loop and ensure that I relinquish so that the other threads get to run for a little bit at least?
I see two options,

*

*Some sort of sleep

*if no events were handled by poll(), I could call run_one() which blocks for one event only, but the problem here is that this event could be the packet I want, and now I have jitter again...

Have I missed any other approaches?

A: I have not used Boost::asio, but it looks at first glance like you want to use .run() and not .poll().  As Patrick points out, the normative poll() system call can block passively, whereas asio::poll() explicitly will not (requiring you to busy loop), but run() does:

The run() function blocks until all work has finished and there are no
  more handlers to be dispatched, or until the io_service has been
  stopped.

Of course, this doesn't solve the problem if you are dealing with an unrelenting stream of packets -- but then I think you've been backed into a corner.  If the system must make periodic use of that core, and you must also use only that core, and giving it up introduces latency into your handling, that's a rock and a hard place.

The Fight Over 5G and Chinese Spies
There's a battle raging for the future of the internet. No, it has nothing to do with net neutrality or broadband access. This is about 5G, the shadowy world of global intelligence agencies, and a telecom giant with $108 billion in revenue that most Americans haven't heard of.
The company is Huawei, a Chinese manufacturer known the world over for its cell phones. It also makes radio arrays and is building 5G infrastructure all across the planet. Recently, the UK announced it would allow Huawei limited access to some British 5G mobile networks. The Trump White House doesn't like that and claimed Huawei's tech is an elaborate trojan horse for a Chinese spying network.
Here to help us understand the world of 5G networks and spies is Amanda Macias. Macias is CNBC's National Security Reporter. She specializes in the business of war. Amanda, thank you so much for joining us.

Here are answers to the most common questions we receive, plus links to additional information you may find helpful throughout this site.
The answers to your questions may vary depending on which area of BCG you are applying to. See alternate frequently asked questions related to LGBT, BCG GAMMA, and BCG Digital Ventures.
BCG's interview process is a dialogue, designed to help us get to know each other. Here's what to expect.
What is the ideal profile for a BCG consultant?
We seek passionate, open-minded individuals with a wide range of academic backgrounds, work experiences, perspectives, thinking styles, and expertise. Physicists, historians, chemists, and lawyers have all become successful business leaders at BCG.
Excellent academic credentials are a necessary—but not sufficient—requirement. You also must demonstrate the curiosity to ask the right questions, the courage and creativity to blaze new paths, the ability to collaborate with colleagues and clients, and the leadership skills to transform your ideas into action.
What if I don't have a business degree? Would I feel lost as a consultant at BCG?
Many talented professionals without business degrees come to BCG and thrive here. Working with your team and with clients, you will learn at a rapid pace. Your peers will support you, project leaders and others will coach you, and your career advisor will provide useful advice on how to overcome common obstacles.
You will receive intensive training and coaching based on your individual needs, as well as help and advice. Entry-level training is available, as are targeted training sessions at every step of your career. Learn more about our learning and development programs.
BCG provides many opportunities for consultants at different levels of seniority to work abroad on a particular case or to work in one of our foreign offices for an extended period. And with more than 90 locations in 50 countries, there is a lot of choice.
When and how will my consulting-team performance be evaluated?
You'll receive continuous informal feedback, as well as formal feedback at the end of each project at a minimum and from your career development advisor at various points each year. All individuals will be evaluated on a number of factors important to their development, including analytics, presentation style, conceptual ability, interpersonal skills, motivation, initiative, organization, communication skills, team skills, and overall integrity.
How does BCG's consultant internship program work?
Our consultant internship program is a chance for you to learn about BCG and for us to learn more about you. BCG internships are generally two to three months in duration, but can vary from a few weeks to a year, depending on the role and location.
We accept online applications year-round. If you are a current student, learn more about how to apply on our Students page. Otherwise, apply here for all roles at BCG.
What is the interview process for consulting candidates?
If selected, you'll participate in a series of interviews with BCG consultants. These interviews will include a case study. Learn more about BCG's interview process and how you can prepare for it.
What is the interview process for nonconsulting roles?
The interview process for nonconsulting roles at BCG varies from position to position. Candidates should be prepared to discuss examples from their work experience plus key professional achievements.
What type of client work does BCG typically do?
The world's most influential businesses, governments, and nonprofits turn to BCG to help them address their most difficult questions and challenges—how and where to expand their businesses, how to respond to changing markets, or how to invest for future growth. We work with CEOs to establish their long-term vision and with their teams to build a competitive advantage. We generate value for our clients and help them add value to society.
The challenges our clients face are often ambiguous and require change that can be difficult to manage. Although solving those challenges is not always easy, our people relish the opportunity to go beyond the obvious answers to find the best solution within given constraints.
How much travel can I expect as a consultant?
Expect to travel as a consultant—whether working with clients, interviewing their customers, collaborating with colleagues, or attending training sessions. If you don't like to travel, consulting work probably isn't for you.
BCG's innovative PTO program helps our consultants manage these demands, increase their work and personal life satisfaction, and deliver greater value to our clients.
Does BCG staff consultants on one or two projects at a time?
Our philosophy is to staff in a way that best serves our clients' needs. Our work mix tends to be one project at a time, or 100% staffing.
How much choice is there in consulting assignments?
Every consultant has a say in the projects he or she works on. However, individual assignments depend on when a consultant is available, the specific skills required by the assignment, the relative balance between client demand and consultant availability, and the career development needs of the consultant.
Over the long term, however, our consultants are able to shape their portfolio of experiences around their interests and preferences, including developing expertise in specific areas. Typically, we recommend that entry-level consultants seek exposure to a broad variety of industries and functional areas during their first years before specializing in any specific area.
How is BCG's business doing?
For more than two decades, BCG has grown on average at about 15% a year, showing strength in all regions. Our engagement pipeline is strong and focused on our long-term clients, and we are aggressively recruiting to serve this demand.
Although BCG is not immune to the business cycle, the company has grown even during difficult periods.
Should I consider consulting if I want to start or run a business?
Yes, absolutely. BCG will help you develop the skills, experience, and connections needed to build a successful career—whether you choose to stay at BCG or not. We have a global alumni network approaching 22,000 members, including many who have gone on to become CEOs of companies or start successful ventures of their own.

Joining Winston Starts
When I told a local friend that I was launching West End Learning, she asked me, "How can your community help you?" What an amazing question! I had worked for companies remotely for nearly 20 years, and had built most of my professional connections in DC, New York, and other metro areas. Over the past year, my eyes were opened to the resources right here at home.
Winston-Salem has a vibrant startup ecosystem, and I've been welcomed every step of the way. We were excited to join Winston Starts, a local incubator, in March—just days before the lockdown.
It's been a pleasure working with the team and other entrepreneurs from a variety of businesses. Looking ahead, we are excited to return to the office and join the community in-person when COVID allows.
Thanks to Greater Winston-Salem for profiling many emerging businesses here (including us) and showcasing the benefits of our community. With more people working remotely and considering different metro areas, Winston-Salem and Winston Starts look better than ever!
