Cell Systems & Anatomy
The present study was undertaken to explore the protective effect of melatonin against isoproterenol bitartrate (ISO)-induced myocardial injury in rat. Treatment of rats with ISO increased the level of lipid peroxidation products and decreased the reduced glutathione levels in cardiac tissue indicating that this synthetic catecholamine induces oxidative damage following oxidative stress. Pretreatment of ISO-injected rats with melatonin at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, i.p. prevented these changes. Additionally, melatonin also restored the activities and the levels of antioxidant enzymes which were found to be altered by ISO treatment. Treatment of rats with ISO resulted into an increased generation of hydroxyl radicals with melatonin pretreatment significantly reducing their production. Finally, treatment of rats with ISO caused a lowering of systolic pressure with reduced cardiac output and diastolic dysfunction whereas melatonin pretreatment significantly restored many of these parameters to normal. The findings document melatonin's ability to provide cardio protection at a low pharmacological dose. Melatonin has virtually no toxicity which raises the possibility of this indole being a therapeutic treatment for ischemic heart disease.

CONCERT PREVIEW: My Morning Jacket takes a circuitous route to hard rock
By popmusiccritic on June 20, 2011 at 2:30 PM
My Morning Jacket (photo: Danny Clinch)
By MIKEL TOOMBS
The new My Morning Jacket album, "Circuital" (ATO Records), which made its debut at No. 5 on the Billboard Albums chart, starts in a manner that's, in the words of a classic "Almost Live!" sketch (you know, the one with the headbanging attitude that MMJ often shares), inexcusably lame.
Happily, after this four-song Lame List "Circuital" (frontman Yim Yames, the once and future Jim James, pronounces it "sir-cue-a-TAL") hits its stride on the uproarious "Out of My System." Here's an ode to the virtue of indulging your vices ("They told me not to smoke drugs, but I didn't listen") early that combines MMJ's epic-rock tendencies with steel guitar and an arrangement that recalls the Beach Boys' version of "Sloop John B."
The equally delightful "Holdin' on to Black Metal," complete with horns and "Black Metal Girls" choir, follows and MMJ is back to vintage, at times eccentric ("Got to radiate the gold," Yames/James sings of the aptly titled "Slow Slow Tune'), form.
Granted, this six-song stretch makes the already-short "Circuital" (sorry) even more brief. But surely the Louisville-bred rockers will expand on and ramp up the material, much as they did with the underwhelming (opinions differ) '05 MMJ CD "Z," when they perform live Sunday, June 26, at Seattle's Paramount Theatre (where, incidentally, I was introduced to the band eight summers ago as openers for Foo Fighters).
Tickets remain, although only for reserved seats in the Paramount's acostically challenged balcony. To purchase, click here.

I completely fell in love with this book! I had heard my auntie talking about this book and giving us a briefing on the storyline. I had to run out and purchase it.
It's a very heartwarming book about a street cat, which practically adopted his owner. They have both gone through hard times, but have helped each other overcome their troubles; such as drugs, injuries, fears.
This book tells you the main storyline about how they met and how they go about their everyday lives, but it also includes short stories.
Luckily, there is now a new book out following this one – and they are planning on making a movie about their touching story.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone of any age.
I absolutely love this book! Such a lovely heartwarming story! Have a great new year!

Home > Bishkek 'Slaves'
Bishkek 'Slaves' [1]
Sultan Jumagulov [2]
The Kyrgyz authorities do little to prevent the exploitation of Bishkek's massive illegal workforce.
Once the haunt of Bishkek's courting couples, the lovely avenue of Molodoi Gvardii has recently been renamed Mahatma Ghandi Prospect. But it's still far better known to Kyrgyz as "Kulbazar" - the "Slave Market".
This three kilometer-long road is the site of the largest illegal labour market in Kyrgyzstan, and a magnet for unemployed workers in search of short-term or seasonal work. As summer approaches, and opportunities for seasonal work increase, the number of "slaves" for sale is steadily rising. Every day, the avenue is lined with labourers avidly watching every car that drives by, in the hope its driver will stop and offer work.
Kadyrbai, a 44-year-ol father of six, is one of an estimated 1,500 strong army of Bishkek job-hunters. He started coming to the "Kulbazar" six years ago, after his career as a truck driver ended when he lost all his documents. Replacing them is almost an impossible task in the bureaucratic labyrinth of Kyrgyzstan - every piece of paper would have required a signature and a stamp, all costing money, and all requiring months of pleading before endless ranks of bureaucrats. It was all beyond Kadyrbai's means, and he was left with no job, no truck, and not a penny to his name.
With no farming experience, and unwilling to get involved in private enterprise, he left his family behind in Naryn and travelled 100km to the capital, becoming a regular day-labourer at "Kulbazar".
Competition is fierce - every car that stops draws a desperate crowd - but Kadyrbai's skills and experience mean he is rarely without work. He is amongst the first to be picked to work on the extravagant homes of the nouveaux riches or "new Kyrgyz".
"At first I was uncomfortable about it," he said. "It's a shameful business, standing around selling your labours. And the name of the market! But now I'm used to it - you have to feed the kids." If his earnings allow, Kadyrbai gets home once a month. Otherwise, he may not see his family for three months at a time.
Some labourers, such as 34-year-old Taalaibek, are educated professionals. He quit teaching when his salary of 600 som ($12) proved inadequate to feed his family.
Most, though, are emigrants from Kyrgyzstan's southern and central regions and first generation city dwellers who live in large housing blocks on the outskirts of the capital.
Under Kyrgyz law, only legally registered residents of Bishkek have access to education or legal work - most of the day labourers are unregistered and unskilled, and are left with little choice beyond the "Kulbazar".
Employers are happy to employ such cheap labour, especially if it means avoiding the tax inspector. But labourers are less content: the work is hard - unloading stones, menial construction work - exploitation is common, and wages are pitiful. "Two days ago I earned 100 som (US$2)," said 24-year-old Turat, from the shores of lake Issyk-Kul. "I paid for my lodging, had something to eat, bought some cigarettes, and that left me with ten. If I don't earn anything today I'll end up with nowhere to stay."
Turat's family - he has three children - used to lodge tourists in their lakeside home. There was a plentiful supply of visitors from other Soviet countries, and one season's work would finance Turat's family for a year. Since independence, though, tourists have been few on the ground, and Turat joined Kyrgyzstan's mass of unemployed, most of whom were created when lucrative military contracts for the Soviet Union dried up, and state enterprises laid off thousands.
It's a long way from Soviet days when full employment was sacred, and the criminal code carried a special punishment for "sponging."
Kyrgyz authorities have been attempting to regulate the "slave market" by creating a job centre. This, they say, would protect citizens' labour rights, and - perhaps more importantly - also allow for the collection of taxes.
The ideal location for the centre would be near the "Kulbazar". But so far, thanks to a lack of political will and funds, no suitable home has been found. Until authorities get their act together, the "Kulbazar" will continue to flourish.

Proteins are the building blocks of all cells in both human and all our living creatures of the world. Most of the work in the living organism is performed by Proteins. Proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers which are biomolecules or macromolecules. The tertiary structure of protein represents the three-dimensional shape of a protein. The functions, classification and binding sites are governed by protein's tertiary structure. If two protein structures are alike then the two proteins can be of the same kind. To detect the similarity of proteins accurately in real time is crucial in the research. In this thesis, we present an analysis on local binary pattern histogram, Wavelet transformed Local Binary Pattern Histogram, Separate Row Multiplication Matrix with Uniform Local Binary Pattern Histogram, Neighbor Block Subtraction Matrix with Uniform Local Binary Pattern Histogram and Atom Bond for protein structural class prediction. We have used them on the distance matrix of α carbons of proteins which are used as an image for feature extraction. The experiments were done on a 40 percent reduced dataset of PDB files. We have demonstrated the usefulness of this feature over a large variety of supervised machine learning algorithms. We propose the use of Random Forest as the best performing classifier on this dataset using the selected features. Secondly, Protein-Ligand binding is accountable for managing the tasks of biological receptors that helps to cure diseases and many more. So, binding prediction between protein and ligand is important for understanding a protein's activity or to accelerate docking computations in virtual screening-based drug design. Protein-Ligand Binding Prediction requires three-dimensional tertiary structure of the target protein to be searched for ligand binding. In this paper, we've introduced a supervised learning algorithm for predicting Protein-Ligand Binding which is a Similarity-Based Clustering approach. Our algorithm works better than most popular and widely used machine learning algorithms. So, our work is divided into two parts, Protein Structural Class Prediction & Protein-Ligand Binding Prediction.

Joy is a city writer and kickass fitness instructor. Jeremy is a professional chef. Both of them love Los Angeles, urban murals and the video game Street Fighter II.
I remember once Joy described herself as a "bridechilla" instead of a bridezilla, which turned out to be totally true. I loved getting to know these two throughout the wedding planning, from the first meeting to the venue visit to the wedding day. They are the only couple I've ever seen enjoy a ceremonial shot of whiskey as part of their vows.
Beyond having their wedding at the artistically converted warehouse Millwick in Downtown LA's Arts District, it was great seeing Joy's personal style work itself into all the details of the day, from gold-painted pineapples to her tropical bouquet of Hawaiian Protea flowers. The day was filled with good cheer and their relaxed sense of joy was contagious.

Beim Verrichtungsprinzip werden alle artgleichen Betriebsmittel in einer Werkstatt zusammengefasst.

Deswegen heißt dieses Ablaufprinzip auch Werkstättenfertigung. In dem Beispiel im Bild Räumliche Struktur beim Verrichtungsprinzip ist erkennbar, dass sich durch diese Art der Anordnung je nach Fertigungsablauf ein umfangreicher "Materialtransport" einstellen kann, wobei die Anzahl der Transportvorgänge selbst noch nicht einmal das gravierende Problem darstellt. Wichtiger ist es, dass zur Organisation des Fertigungsablaufs eine umfangreiche Materialflusssteuerung erforderlich wird und damit ein erheblicher Organisationsaufwand für die Logistik, und dass in der Praxis gewöhnlich deswegen und wegen der Losbildung sehr hohe Liegezeiten entstehen, daraus folgend entsprechend hohe Durchlaufzeiten, hohe Materialbestände mit hohen Liquiditätsbelastungen und Kapitalbindungen.

Dennoch gibt es Auftragsstrukturen, die das Verrichtungsprinzip angeraten sein lassen. Je höher die Typenvielfalt der gefertigten Produkte ist und je kleiner die Auftragsgrößen werden (im Extremfall 1), desto mehr bewährt es sich. Je kleiner nämlich die Losgrößen werden und je verschiedener die Aufträge sind, desto wichtiger wird die Kompetenz der die Anlagen betreibenden Beschäftigten, die dann Auftragspapiere wirklich lesen, Zeichnungen in Maschinensteuerungen umsetzen können und über eine hohe Routine in der Nutzung "ihrer" Anlagen verfügen. In solchen Situationen ist der aus der kompetenten Routine der Mitarbeiter resultierende Zeitgewinn höher zu bewerten, als die Aufwendungen für die zahlreichen Transporte und deren Organisation.

Q: assembly system call non-effective I want to print AAAA with the following:
BITS 32;

;write;
 push 0x41414141;
 pop ecx        ;
 mov eax, 4     ; write is syscall 4 for Ubuntu 32-bit
 mov ebx, 1     ; stdout
 mov edx, 4     ;
 int 0x80       ;

;exit;
 mov eax, 1     ;
 mov ebx, 0     ;
 int 0x80       ;

Yet, once assembled and linked this code only exits, no errors, what is wrong ?

A: A quick fix of your code:
push 0x41414141 ; put 'AAAA' into stack memory
mov ecx,esp     ; pointer to the 'AAAA'
mov eax, 4      ; write is syscall 4 for 32-bit Linux
mov ebx, 1      ; stdout
mov edx, 4
int 0x80
add esp,4      ; restore stack

No explanation, as you should first check what I did ask in comment, then the fix will be either obvious, or you will have to ask about something particular you don't understand...
If you run your original code with strace ./my_program, you'd see write() return -EFAULT because you passed a bad address.  Always use strace to debug programs that make syscalls and don't behave the way you expected.


The Oakland Raiders offense has been lost this season under first-year coordinator Todd Downing. Sunday's tilt versus the L.A. Chargers could be the young coach's final leading Derek Carr & Co. if Jack Del Rio decides to make a move again this offseason.
On Wednesday, Del Rio admitted the apparent: The Raiders' production cratered after an offseason switch from Bill Musgrave to Downing.
"Well, obviously, a lot of things have gone on in a negative direction," he said, via the team's official website. "But I do know the guy is super bright. He's going to be a really good coach in this league. I believe in him. Those are not things that people want to hear right now because the reality is we've underperformed offensively this year. So naturally there's going to be those kinds of questions. I think we all understand that. I understand it. He understands it."
Whether you read that as a small vote of confidence or Del Rio being kind to a man he plans to fire likely depends on your bend.
What isn't debatable is the Raiders' offensive struggles this season. Oakland went from No. 6 in total yards per game (373.3) and No. 7 in points (416) in 2016 to No. 19 in yards (323.3) and No. 23 in points (291) in 2017.
Del Rio made the offseason switch from Musgrave to Downing in order to keep the younger coach from getting an OC gig elsewhere. The decision had a decidedly negative effect on the disappointing organization.
Part of the struggles could be blamed on Derek Carr's back injury suffered in Week 4, but the quarterback didn't look comfortable even before that hindrance occurred. Carr, who supported Downing, has been plagued by poor decisions and been gun-shy to pull the trigger on downfield throws.
Downing's scheme has been criticized for its simplistic route concepts and the head-scratching decision to take a powerful offensive line and ask them to run stretch-zones, rendering Marshawn Lynch and the run game mostly impotent.
Given the systematic problems this season, another OC switch could be coming soon for Del Rio -- if owner Mark Davis doesn't decide to wipe out the entire coaching staff after Sunday's season finale.

Given that the width of this building as you are looking at it is 8 feet wide, how tall do you think it is?
I'm terrible at eyeballing stuff like this. My husband is saying it's about 14' tall overall. I'm hoping it's more like 12. I'd really like to buy it and use it as a chicken house, but the law in Ohio says a load must be no taller than 13'6" tall in order to transport.
As the building is currently 2 hours away from us in Chillicothe, that might be an issue, lol.

Single Mom Left Speechless after Asking for 69 Cents Donation & Getting Much More
https://news.amomama.com/159479-single-mom-left-speechless-asking-69-cen.html
A struggling single mother was stunned by the response when she asked Twitter users for a 69 cent electricity donation so she could cook food for her children.
Thabisa Xhelithole is a single mother of two from South Africa who found herself in dire straits, with no money to pay for the electricity she so desperately needed.
On June 16, 2019, Thabisa appealed to Twitter users for a 69 cent - or R10 - electricity donation, giving them her meter number in the hopes that some generous soul would help her out. She was in for quite a surprise.
A SINGLE MOM STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET
33-year-old Thabisa who has a 10-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter used the data she had left on her phone to post an appeal on Twitter.
The single mom desperately needed electricity to cook porridge for her children, who were hungry, and had no money, and no-one to turn to.
"At that point I was desperate. There was nothing, I wanted to cook some porridge for my baby who was desperately hungry," she said.
TWITTER RESPONDED TO SINGLE MOM'S PLEA
To Thabisa's astonishment, within hours she had R30 in her electricity account, and a week later the donations had mounted up to R4000 worth of electricity, equivalent to $58.
"The first token I got was for R30. When I got that I was happy. I'd be glad if that's all I got. But people kept on sending and sending and sending. I told them that it was enough, but they kept on sending anyway," she said.
GRATEFUL MOM THANKS TWITTER
Thabisa went back to Twitter, this time to thank the tweeting community for their solidarity and support. The single mom revealed that she got donations from as far away as Canada, and the help keeps pouring in.
THE POWER OF THE INTERNET COMMUNITY
Thabisa's story is far from unique and shows the power social media holds, and its enormous potential for good.
The spare change of people from around the world has made a huge difference to a woman who lives in one of the poorest regions in the world.
"I have been overwhelmed by people's reactions. I appreciate each and everyone who helped by sending electricity, money or just retweeted. It means a lot to me. I'd like to thank everyone," Thabisa said.
It is stories like Thabisa's that make us all proud to be part of this wonderful social media community that holds now boundaries and reaches every corner of our world.
SINGLE MOM IS RESCUED BY "SECRET ANGEL"
Single mom Tawny Nelson was already at her wit's end when her car broke down and left her stranded in a grocery store's parking lot with her 4 young daughters.
Single mom shared emotional response to customer who left her $0 tip on $187 bill

Single Mom Shares Her Struggle of Losing Two-Year-Old Daughter to Dementia 'Piece by Piece'
Tawny sat in her car in the pouring rain at a loss on what to do when a man knocked on her window.
The elderly man handed her a plate of chicken strips and biscuits, and some bottles of water.
"Feed those babies and yourself young lady. I have a tow truck on the way, and my wife will be here shortly to take y'all home," said the man.
The next day a mechanic brought her car back to her house. He had replaced her battery and alternator and also fixed her car window, but when Tawny asked him how much she owed him for the repairs, the mechanic told her the bill was already paid.
Tawny's secret angel had paid for the repairs and made the single mom's life a lot easier.

No sentido de igualdade, parecido.
Our personalities are very alike.
On the other hand, we could point out that there are people that "have complementary or similar personalities"; take for example a case of a couple living under the same roof, they could have complementary traits and personalities.
But one seeing from outside would state that "opposites atracts" what wouldn´t be actually the case.
People of similar personalities tend to be friends, or constitute a clique, group who share the same interest or aim, etc. So, they are like-minded people.


According to Zillow, our home is currently worth $859,825 (up $17,203 in the last 30-days). The traditional spring-summer spike in real estate has been great for property values, but the reality is whether or not it is up or down, it really doesn't mean much to us since we have no intention of selling our home. We mainly post these updates to see the remaining mortgage balance and keep us motivated to push forward to be debt free (including our mortgage) one day!
For those that have not read the Preface on our home equity, we currently hold a 15-year fixed rate mortgage at the incredibly low rate of 2.875%. My goal is to retire within 9 years and 0 months (108 months) so we are setting out to pay off our mortgage on or before my retirement date. Right now we are a few months behind the target retirement date. Currently, we have approximately 9 years and 10 months (118 months) left on our mortgage. Nevertheless, I would like to have it paid off in roughly 8-9 years. If we accomplish that, I plan to use the money we use to pay our mortgage and aggressively build our passive income to help supplement our retirement and defer tapping into the 457K as long as we can so it can continue to grow.
Below is a recap of the dividends/partnership distributions that we received from our family's dividend stocks portfolio – MAY 2018 (recap).

Spain receives about 12.5 million visitors a year. More than half of these come through only four airports: Palma de Mallorca, Malaga, Alicante and Reina Sofia on Tenerife - the gateways to the beaches. But, as true adventurers know, these areas have much more to offer than the average package tours to overcrowded beaches and high-rise apart-hotels. If you book a low-cost airline flight and hire a car, you can have a totally different experience to that of the package holidaymaker, often for less than the price of a package.
Where the masses go: Benidorm.
Where to escape them: If you want a proper Spanish city close to the Costa Blanca, you won't be disappointed. About an hour's drive south-west of Alicante, you'll find the ancient town of Murcia, founded in 831 by the Emir of Córdoba. There is architecture worth seeing dotted around the streets and squares, two of the main sights being the Episcopal Palace from the eighteenth century with a rococo facade, and the cathedral from the fifteenth century with its distinctive baroque sculptures. There are enough bars and cafés to keep even the most ardent coffee and beer-lover busy. A short drive from the city you can visit the spas in Archena or Leana.
Where the masses go: Torremolinos, Fuengirola and Marbella.
Where to escape them: If you fancy getting away from the commercial coastal tourism, stay in a finca - a Spanish farmhouse - called HumbleBee (00 34 952 11 18 69), about 60km (37m) north-west of Malaga . The closest village, Valle de Abdalajís, is 3.5km (2m) away, so don't worry about the neighbours. The house, run by two Norwegians, is in a valley full of lemons, oranges and almonds, and within easy driving distance of the Garganta del Chorro, a deep gorge popular among rock-climbers. The mountain of El Torcal is also nearby, where you'll find some amazing limestone formations. There's a marked trail starting and ending at the visitors' centre; if you want to step outside it you'll need to hire a guide. Prices at HumbleBee are €30 (£21) per person, per night, including breakfast.
Around 3km (1.8m) outside of Ronda, you can stay in the Villa Arancha, with its pool, almond and olive trees, and a little underground bodega. The house sleeps six, and costs £1,171 for one week, property only, or £328 per person based on six shar ing, including flights from Gatwick to Malaga and car hire. Contact Spanish Affair (020 7385 8127).
For those wishing to venture further afield, 60km (37m) east of Granada you'll find the city of Guadix, which has an amazing cave settlement of about 10,000 people. You can stay in a studio flat in Albaicín with The Individual Travellers (08700 780 194) from £402 per week. It is part of a converted sixteenth-century house which now contains seven flats. The flat sleeps two people and has a view of the Alhambra Palace. The price includes car hire, but not flights.
Where the masses go: The honeypots of the island are mostly clustered around the southern part, Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos.
Where to escape them: The city of San Cristóbal de la Laguna is a Unesco registered world heritage site. And for good reason: its sixteenth-century architecture is well worth a visit. The city, now the second largest on the island, was founded in 1496 by the conquistador Alonso Fernández de Lugo. San Cristóbal de la Laguna is only a short drive from the island's capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where you can stay at the sumptuous five-star Hotel Mencey. The Real Spain (020 8686 3638) offers seven nights from £799 per person, including return flights and transfers from London Gatwick to Tenerife North. The price is based on two sharing, and is valid between 1 January and 12 February.
Where the masses go: Magaluf.
Where to escape them: Drive 42km (26m) outside of Palma and stay at the finca Es Figueral (00 34 971 65 16 41) a restored farmhouse dating from 1900. It has enough room for 16 guests. As well as the proprietors, Maria and Miguel, a few animals live there, including dogs, cats, a horse, peacocks, parrots and even a toucan. Around the finca there are 12 hectares of fields with orange trees and a big garden with a swimming pool surrounded by palm trees. If you get bored of the farm itself, you're not far from the city of Campos or the beaches Ses Covetes, Sa Rápita and Es Trenc. Double rooms start at €55 (£39), including breakfast, which when the weather permits can be eaten on the patio.
The arrival at Alicante airport is not the best introduction to one of the most popular parts of Spain.
Poster after poster advertises the coastal cancer: cheap, mass produced, featureless housing estates. Images with garish colours and badly drawn houses with as much charm as a camper van are everywhere.
If you thought only the off-the-beaten-track tourists noticed the pressure on areas such as the Costa Blanca, think again. The Spanish have not only noticed it, they are actively exploiting it.
Not far from the coast, a group of 10 councils around the Sierra de Crevillente mountain range has come together to form an area called La Isla de Interior, The Inland Island, with 'the best alternative to the coast' as its catchphrase.
One of the 10 towns is Hond¿n de Las Nieves, a little gem for those who want to get away from the suntan lotion and buckets and spades. If you don't know what you're looking for, though, you're likely to drive straight past it. Many of the towns around here are easy to miss, with the main roads whisking past the outskirts.
Hondón de Las Nieves is the southernmost town of La Isla de Interior. Even a short visit to the town pays dividends. The small baroque church, dating from 1685, does its best to make up for the lack of grand cathedrals.
When I spent Christmas at Hondón de Las Nieves with my expat Norwegian parents, who live there, I found it a low-key event. The villagers were scattered about the town square, sitting on benches soaking up some of the winter sun.
In a side street a large group of older men, all dressed in black, were standing around four gentlemen playing cards. A CD with Christmas carols was playing on a loop from a building down the street. The building, which also happens to be home of the Pensioners' Club and the Housewives' Club, contained the traditional Spanish belén , an elaborate Nativity scene with figures and buildings depicting everything from the arrival of the three kings to the farmers in the fields and the carpenters in their workshops, not just a baby in a manger.
Small towns such as Hondón de Las Nieves have much to gain from more tourism, and recent figures from the Association of British Travel Agents show that independent travel is on the increase - just the kind of tourism the area needs.
In a way, the group's geographical position gives it a great advantage. Only 20km (12.5m) from Europe's palm tree garden, Elche, and 35km (21.8m) from Alicante, there is easy access to a major tourist airport. The lack of beaches and resorts filters out the more alcohol-fuelled kind of tourism, hopefully attracting a more discerning visitor.
Karin and her husband are now looking for a house in the region around Aspe, another of the 10 members of La Isla de Interior.
Back in Hondón de Las Nieves, the realisation that almost everything is closed on Christmas Day left us wondering whether we would have to leave the town feeling thirsty. But our search for a bar ended successfully. Sitting outside and enjoying the view makes you realise that the exchange of a seascape for a mountain-scape might be radical, but it is no less picturesque.
The La Isla de Interior website has information about all the towns.
Flights: EasyJet (0871 7500 100) flies from Gatwick to Alicante, Malaga and Mallorca from £40.98 return. Ryanair (0871 246 0000) flies from Stansted to Murcia from £39.99 return.
Car hire: Lead-in prices for seven-day, pre-paid, including unlimited mileage, collision damage waiver, theft protection and tax: Avis (00 34 96 568 27 79 /08700 100 287) - Palma: £124.22;Tenerife: £157.62; Malaga: £121.22; Alicante: £121.22. Hertz (0870 844 88 44) - Palma: £126; Tenerife: £127; Malaga: £150; Alicante: £151.


Wireless hotspots are just about everywhere in the bigger cities or towns in Norway. Places like gas stations, city centres, cafés, shopping centres, hotels, etc.. though not all access is free.
In the hotels most of them offer internet access, and some may offer a computer with internet access for guest use. The national telecomm provider Telenor sells prepaid wireless 3G internet dongles for about NOK 700 (about €100). These can be purchased at mobile phone shops.
DOMESTIC CALLS: Phone numbers in Norway are eight digits and no area codes are necessary.
INTERNATIONAL CALLS: Do you want to call international, you can dial directly using the access code of 00, then the country code plus the phone number.
The international country code for Norway is 47.
Mobile phone coverage is universal in urban areas and generally good in rural Norway, though some rural valleys might have poor coverage in spots. Many connections will be faster closer to the major population centres, where 4G-networks are well established. You should also expect to lose connectivity in some tunnels, both for roads and trains.
Good tip is to try to restrict your use of mobile data services to locations where you can access a local wi-fi network. These are very widespread in Norway. Most restaurants, cafes, hotels, shopping centres or even petrol stations have free Wi-Fi available.
•7-Eleven, both shops and in Shell-stations, as well as the Narvesen kiosks, offer SIM-cards or start-up packs from Telenor Mobil, NetCom, Chess, MyCall, OneCall, Interfone and Lyca Mobile.
•OneCall SIM-cards may also be ordered online and can then be picked up at any Narvesen kiosk later.
•Electronics shops such as Expert, Elkjøp, Euronics, Lefdal and Siba may sell SIM-cards for a variety of network operators.
•Some of the major operators also have their own shops, selling only their own subscriptions.

I've been asked by quite a few different shooters if Howa factory barrels are difficult to remove- the short answer is, no, they aren't. You don't even need specialized equipment to do it. In this quick post, I'll show you how I remove factory Howa 1500 barrels.
You don't need a specialized action wrench for a Howa 1500. The top of the receiver is a nominal 1.35″ and the bottom is flat. This means your Mauser style wrench for a Remington 700 will work- I like the one shown from Brownells. Simply use the top half against the flat bottom and tighten it down.
Next, you need to secure the barrel in a vise, I like this bushing model from Brownells. It uses a set of interchangeable aluminum bushings (1.175″) that grab the barrel. I like to coat the barrel in Rosin to prevent anything from slipping.
Now all you need to do is unscrew the barrel. Check out the video below, this is a factory barrel on a factory action that has never been removed.
You'll notice I used an aluminum "cheater pipe" on the action wrench handle and the action broke free instantly.

Joel Robideaux's reliance on a well-connected lobbying firm to set the table for his tenure as mayor-president deserves a few raised eyebrows.
I've had an uneasy feeling since early November, when Joel Robideaux confirmed that The Picard Group would lead his transition into the halls of Lafayette Consolidated Government. I've been wondering what it is about us as citizens that we find nothing unusual about our freshly minted mayor-president appointing a lobbying firm to coordinate the start-up, staffing and priorities of his incoming administration.
Not that there's even the whiff of scandal associated with The Picard Group. There's not. Its head is attorney Tyron Picard, and his top associate, former state Sen. Mike Michot (who's directly tasked with the transition, including, presumably, recommendations on hiring and firing of key staff), has an admirable record in and out of government. A junior associate with the firm, attorney Corey Meaux, is serving as transition coordinator. And, no, there is no fee paid to them for their service.
But there is much more to consider than an absence of fee for service. So, you say, what's the big deal about that? Well, lobbyists — with exceptions — are paid professionals typically hired by corporations and other well-heeled interest groups to exert influence upon government that benefits the interests of their clients, much too often to the exclusion of the public interest.
The net impact of lobbying upon government at virtually every level is far too often an unhealthy one (you may want to read this recent Washington Post story to understand what's going on at the state level throughout the country). Sure there are exceptions. But at the end of the day, lobbyists, like lawyers, get paid for their services.
Few citizens truly understand how political sausage is made. Like the meaty form, it's often unpleasant to witness. Special interests bearing cash for campaign coffers, contributions to the wife of a governor's pet charitable project, a trip to an all-expenses paid hunt at a cushy duck camp, and other "favors" to people of influence in government have a long, tawdry record of impacting the decision making of government regulators, be they elected legislators or heads of state agencies. Access is a lobbyist's stock in trade. To understate the point, average citizens and their interests lack this access. Dysfunctional government is one of the consequences of this disparity.
So let's say it again. The firm isn't being paid for its services. But to deny there exists a quid pro quo would be disingenuous. The Picard firm will tout to clients new and existing this plum assignment. It screams ability to access and influence government. Who, given the benefit, would blame them for doing it for "free"?
Perhaps, or even probably, this transition will go smoothly, and lobbyist-managed staffing decisions may well turn out to be wise ones. But it would be wiser to consider the precedent set here. Citizens take note. It's a bad one. It shouldn't be repeated.

Interesting read not sure if it has been posted but don't have the time to clean it up.
I thought he gave that up after Mty?
whatever the case...I think Arm Chairs post posted on mainboard is one of the best I have ever read.
Arm Chair you and I share a deep interest in this mysterious guy. He powerful yet we hear so little. People are under the mistaken belief that because an entity is quiet that is the sign of weakness, it often means, with strong criminal groups, "under control".
His loyalty is rare. that is what made me so interested in him, how he chose BLO instead of Sinaloa, out of pure loyalty, and saved BLO from going the way of the dinosaur.
Many thanks to everyone for sharing.
If there is more, we would all love to hear.
I have always been fascinated by CIF.
isn't tortillero one of the lizzaraga ontiveros brothers?
those are not the only lizarraga ontiveros brothers deelucky.... Samuel lizarraga ontiveros is "el tortillero", and i think he is the only brother that is not locked up at this point, seeing as how Geovany and Marcos were both arrested in may 2011.
Thank you Buela coming from you that means a lot. We share many of the same curiosities and as you know will always carry my respect. As for CIF as I notice is the new handle being thrown about, you know you have become something when people start to use an acronym to describe you or your organization... BB has been here for his rise and will be here for his fall. Not many wrote about him and I believe we were one of the first, certainly one the first in english to cover his escapades. Our articles are now source for many that have been written since. The archives of both the main page and forum have become in my opinion one of the finest, most detailed and accurate places to find cartel information. The DOJ knows this, Insight Crime knows this, hell even Strafor and their smug overly ambitious selves have used us. BB is home to the largest english archive of cartel activities in existence right now.

7 Movies Like The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo
MoviesLike: The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo
Monster is a biographical depiction of Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron), a prostitute and serial killer who murdered seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. The film follows the burgeoning relationship between Wuornos and young Selby Wall (Christina Ricci, in a role based on Wuornos' real-life girlfriend Tyria Moore), as she grows increasingly desperate to provide for her young companion financially. Her desperation and her rage against men, brought on by years of both childhood and adult abuse, leads her down a dark path of murder and theft, even as she struggles to shield Selby from the horror of her crimes. The overwhelming highlight of the film is Theron's mesmerizing performance as Wuornos—a role that won her a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Actress in 2004. She's almost unrecognizable and altogether phenomenal as the volatile and increasingly unstable Wuornos, whose ferocity is interwoven with surprising affection for young Selby. This unexpected tenderness lends the film an air of tragic poignancy, and provides a bittersweet portrayal of a severely troubled woman. Very much intended for mature audiences only, Monster is a fascinating recreation of a disturbing yet compelling chapter in the annals of true crime in America.
The story of a single mother trying to raise an unstable teenager and their interactions with the world surrounding them, Mommy is a movie that aims straight for the heart and doesn't miss. It is so intense that you are likely to feel a kind of emotional tiredness after watching it. However, it is a beautiful intensity so to speak. Because while it has many joyous moments as well as funny ones, its true brilliance is reached while you are being punched in the guts. This is the more impacting with perfect the performances from the cast, the elaborate soundtrack and Xavier Dolan's impeccable staging. Think of Mommy as the most beautiful heartbreaking movie you will ever watch, it will hurt, but you will never regret watching it, and you will find yourself recommending it to everyone you know.
The movie starts with Luke (Ryan Gosling) as a stunt driver who learns he has a newborn child. Luke wants to properly provide for him, so he turns to robbing banks. That causes conflict with the mother (Eva Mendes) and a police officer (Bradley Cooper), which ends up spanning two generations. The Place Beyond the Pines is gritty and emotional, and at the heart of it, a good take on father-son relationships and long-term consequences.

School of Medicine, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia.
A key issue to address in the design and implementation of any assessment system is ensuring its reliability and validity. University assessment policies often require staff to prepare parallel examinations for students who are unable to sit the initial examination. There is little published literature to give confidence to staff or students that these examinations are indeed reliable or equivalent. This study was conducted to determine the validity, reliability and equivalence of two parallel examinations that have been developed under highly defined quality assurance (QA) processes in a university setting. Collated assessment results for all the 76 participants who sat the parallel examinations were subjected to statistical and correlational analysis to test for significant differences between mean scores and their associated standard deviations. Item analysis was conducted for each assessment by computing the difficulty index (DIF), discrimination index (DI) and Kuder-Richardson 20 (KR-20) reliability using classical test theory. Results indicated comparative proportions of difficulty, functional distractors and internal consistency of the assessment items on both examinations. Comparison of student performances in both examinations revealed that there was no significant difference in mean scores. However, a highly positive and significant correlation (r = 0.82) between student total scores in both examinations was evident. Approximately two thirds (62.5 %) of students with low scores in the first examination also achieved low scores in the second examination. Furthermore, two thirds of the students were ranked in the same order based on performance in both examinations. The established QA processes for assessment in the school provided a strong basis for the generation of multiple sources of data to support arguments for the validity of examinations. It is possible to develop valid, reliable and equivalent parallel tests in university settings with the presence of well-defined QA processes.

Q: Convert Html to plain text I used tinymce editor for rich text editor. My problem is when i save the text, its saves in html format like
<p> Hello world<p/>

I need a plain text i.e. "Hello World" in above example.
I search on google and I find something like html encode. I don't know what that is. I am new to this concept. I am using asp.net MVC 5 and I have used tinymce as:
Model is
namespace ProjectNSAS.Models{
public class AboutModels
{
    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    [UIHint("tinymce_jquery_full"), AllowHtml]
    public string Content { get; set; }
}

A: It's probably not the best of help,, but a .txt file is also a form of plain text. If you just want to see the code and not run it, try doing something with .txt.

A: HTML has some characters which mean special things to HTML. Specifically, opening and closing tags ("<" and ">"), when put together, mean that the content between them specifies an element. If you have these characters when they aren't meant for HTML tags, HTML parsers have trouble. When an HTML file wants to represent literal greater-than or less-than characters, it "encodes" them by replacing them with ">" and "<", respectively. Browsers and other HTML-consuming products know that those two strings represent "escaped" HTML characters.
.NET has a small library for escaping/unescaping HTML strings - it's the HttpUtility class. specifically, check out HttpUtility.HtmlEncode and HttpUtility.HtmlDecode

A: Under the hood the editor provides a getcontent method, the integration doesn't provide an access point that I can easily find. However the implementation is rather simple.
TinyMCE has the following code to convert it's html to text:
In: jquery.tinymce.js:
... t.getContent().replace(/<(?:"[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^'">])*>/g, "") ...

Which basically is just a javascript regex replacement, do the same in your C# code, and then decode the html.
Here is a sample controller:
public class TinyController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(TinyMCEModelJQuery model)
    {
        var foo = model.Content;
        Regex regex = new Regex("<(?:\"[^\"]*\"|'[^']*'|[^'\">])*>");
        var htmlPlainText = regex.Replace(foo, string.Empty);
        var plainText = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(htmlPlainText);
        // do what you need with plainText

And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work. He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. ... Scripture Image
"You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening. The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. Scripture Images
Throughout history, many artists have acknowledged God's sovereignty and position as the ultimate Creator depicting in their work the accounts and truths which God has given to his people through the Bible. Virtually every biblical account has been visually portrayed at least once and usually many times throughout history and across cultures. In museums, galleries, churches, cathedrals, and homes around the world, such works of art are helping people gain a deeper understanding of the Scriptures.

Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great. Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon, for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) Moreover, the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly sought it out. ... Christian Art and Gifts
From the very first verse of Scripture, God reveals himself as the Creator, an Artist. Everything within the universe is a magnificent element of the Great Artist's masterpiece. As works of art created in God's own image (Gen 1:27), people are endowed with the ability to create as well. We can choose to join the Master Artist by being artists ourselves.

Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes." The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt. Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it: ...
"Now I am sending Huram-abi, a skilled man, endowed with understanding, the son of a Danite woman and a Tyrian father, who knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone and wood, and in purple, violet, linen and crimson fabrics, and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to execute any design which may be assigned to him, to work with your skilled men and with those of my lord David your father.

He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three minas of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold. There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its rear, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. ... Scripture Image

Software Engineering Phases
by Dinesh Thakur Category: Software Engineering
Software engineering shares common interest with other engineering disciplines. Like other engineering domains where a given problem (for example, building a bridge) can be solved by following a series of interrelated steps, the software development process also comprises a number of steps or phases. The main objective of software engineering is to develop methods for large systems, which help developers obtaining high-quality software in minimum time and at low cost. Therefore, it is essential to perform software development in phases. This phased development of software is often referred to as the software development life cycle (SDLC) or software life cycle.
A software development process comprises different phases. These phases follow a top-to-bottom approach, implying that the phases take inputs from the previous phases, add features, and then produce outputs. The outputs from different phases are referred to as intermediate product, work product, or derivable. Various phases involved in the systematic development of software. The phases of the software development process are shown as a comparison to the process of building a bridge in Table.
Table Building Bridge and Corresponding SDLC Phase
Building Bridge
SDLC Phase
Formulate the problem by understanding the nature and general requirements of the problem.
Understand the locations where the bridge is to be built; estimate the traffic that would pass on from the bridge along with its size requirements such as height and width; and so on.
Defining the problem precisely.
Specify the exact location where the bridge is to be built along with its size and type.
Requirements specifications
Detailing the solution to the problem.
Determine exact configuration, size of the cables and beams, and developing blueprints for the bridge.
Correspond to actual building of the bridge.
Software coding
Specify load, pressure, endurance, and robustness of the bridge.
Specify the essential repairs that are to be made such as repainting, repaving, etc.
This phase commences with discussion on the requests made by the user. The requests can be for a new system or for modifying the existing one. In this phase, it is determined whether the user's requirements can be met with the available hardware and software technologies. Preliminary investigation verifies the problem and understands the need for the required system. It involves determining whether the proposed system is beneficial for business and can be developed within the specified budget. In addition, the time factor that determines the duration of the project is also considered.
Preliminary investigation should be quick and cost effective. The output of preliminary investigation decides whether the new system should be developed. There are three constraints on which the decision to go ahead or not depends. These are listed below.
Technical: This evaluation determines whether technology needed for the proposed system is available and if it is available, then how it can be integrated within the organization. Technical evaluation also determines whether the existing system can be upgraded to use new technology and' whether the organization has the expertise to use it.
Time: This evaluation determines the time needed to complete a project. Time factor is an important issue in software development as cost increases with an increase in the time period of a project.
Budgetary: This evaluation looks at the financial aspect of the project. Budgetary evaluation determines whether the investment needed to implement the system will be recovered at later stages.
This phase studies the problems or requirements of software in detail. These requirements define the processes to be managed during the software development. After analyzing the requirements of the user, a requirements statement known as Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is developed. After analysis, planning for the project begins, which includes developing plans that describe the activities to be performed during the project development such as software configuration management plans, project and scheduling, and quality assurance plans. In addition, the resources required during the project are also determined.
In this phase, the requirements are given a 'defined' form. Design can be defined as a process of deciding information structures in terms of efficiency, flexibility, and reusability. Software design serves as the blueprint for the implementation of requirements in the software system. Each element of the analysis model in the analysis phase provides information that can be used for creating design models. The requirements specification of software together with data, functional, and behavioural model provides a platform to feed the design task to achieve the desired functionality and quality.
First, a top level design is made to outline the problem solution. Next, detailed designing is carried out to specify all the details needed so that the programmers can easily implement the1design. Some of the basic design principles that are used for a good design practice are listed below.
Software design should be traceable to the analysis model: As a single design element often traces multiple requirements, it becomes essential to have a means for tracking how requirements are satisfied by a design model.
Software design should demonstrate uniformity and integration: A design is said to be uniform if its appearance is consistent in the design model. In most cases, rules, formats, and styles are defined in advance to the design team before the design work begins.
Software design should be structured to adapt to changes: The software design should be flexible enough to adapt to changes easily. To achieve the flexibility, the basic design concepts such as abstraction, refinement, and modularity should be applied effectively.
Software design should endeavour to minimize conceptual (Semantic) Errors: The design team ensures that major conceptual elements of designsuch as ambiguity and inconsistency have been addressed in advance.
The coding phase can be defined as a process of translating the software requirements into a programming language, using tools that are available. Writing an efficient software code requires a thorough knowledge of programming language and its tools. Therefore, it is important to choose the appropriate programming language according to the user's requirements. A program code is efficient if it makes optimal use of resources and contains minimum errors.
To write software code efficiently and with minimum errors in a programming language, a coding style is followed. A coding style comprises several guidelines known as coding guidelines that are used to implement individual programming language constructs, comments, formatting, and so on. The objective of using these guidelines is to reduce complexity and errors in programs and improve the understanding of the source code. A set of comprehensive coding guidelines encompasses all aspects of code development. To ensure that all developers work in a harmonized manner (the source code should reflect a harmonized style as if a single developer has written the entire code in one session), the developers should be aware of the coding guidelines before the inception of a software project.
Software testing is performed to ensure that the software is free from errors. Efficient testing improves the quality of software. To achieve high-quality software, testing requires a thorough analysis of the software in a systematic manner. A test plan is created to test software in a planned and systematic manner. In addition, software testing is performed to ensure that the software produces the correct output. This implies that outputs produced should be according to user requirements, produced by following rules and guidelines. These rules and guidelines that are followed while performing testing are known as principles of software testing and help perform testing efficiently and effectively. The commonly followed principles for software testing are listed below.
Define the expected output: When programs are executed during software testing, they mayor may not produce the expected output. This can be due to different errors present in the software. Hence, before software testing begins, it is necessary to define the expected output.
Inspect output of each test completely: The output of each test should be inspected thoroughly in order to determine the performance and functionality of the software.
Include test cases for invalid and unexpected conditions: Software produces correct outputs when it is tested using precise or expected inputs. However, if an unexpected input is given to software, it may produce erroneous outputs. Hence, it is necessary to develop test cases that detect errors, when unexpected and incorrect inputs are given.
Test the modified program to check its expected performance: Sometimes, when certain modifications (such-as adding new functions) are made in the software, it may produce unexpected outputs. Hence it is necessary to test the software after modifications to check whether it performs in the expected manner.
Plan test to find errors: Testing is planned with an intention of finding errors in software. It should be viewed as a process that locates errors rather than as one that proves the correctness of the software.
This phase comprises a set of software engineering activities that occur after the software has been delivered to the user. The objective of this phase is to make the software operational as per the user requirements and to provide continuity of service. To achieve this objective, software maintenance focuses on fixing errors, recovering from failures such as hardware failures or incompatibility of hardware with software. In addition, it facilitates future maintenance work by modifying the software code and databases used in the software.
After the software is developed and delivered, it may require changes. Sometimes, changes are made in a software system when user requirements are not completely met. To make changes in a software system, the software maintenance process evaluates, controls, and implements changes. Note that changes can also be forced on the software system because of changes in government regulations or in policies of the organization.
Software is developed using different software process models. It must be noted that software maintenance is applicable to every software system regardless of the software process model followed. Software maintenance is performed to accomplish tasks such as detecting and fixing errors, supporting enhancements, and improving software to accomplish user requirements.
