Android Pie, the 9th iteration and a major update of Google's Android OS is finally here. Everyone is curious about when will they receive this latest update on their Android phones. Google has announced that many manufacturers are planning to launch or upgrade devices by the end of this year. But it is still not confirmed which devices will receive this update. Till now there are only few phones which are lined up to get the Android Pie flavour.
Thanks to Google's effort with Project Treble, phones like Sony, Vivo, Oppo, Nokia, Xiaomi, Essential and One Plus were able to enroll their devices in the Android Beta program. Google has confirmed that devices enrolled in the Android Beta program will receive the official Android Pie updates by the end of fall 2018. This is definitely an exciting news for the Android users, isn't it?
Android 9.0 has already made its way to the Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones. All four Pixel phones, whether they were enrolled in the Android Beta program or not, received the update on the same day. But what about other phones? When will they receive this update? Read on to find out everything you need to know about the Android 9 Pie update, which phones are compatible with Android 9 and much more.
List of Devices getting Lineage OS 16 ROM based on Android Pie.
Android Pie (Android P) is the ninth major update and the 16th version of the Android operating system. It was officially released on 6th August 2018 for Google Pixel devices and the Essential Phone. This version is the successor of Android Oreo with couple of design changes and enhanced features. Google claims that the Android Pie will make your phone more personal, more secured, more efficient and overall easier to use.
The newly added features in Android 9 feels more polished than the last few versions of Android. Some of the features include new notification panel, iPhone X like notch support, swipe gesture navigation, multi camera API, rotation suggestion, enhanced auto fill, new quick settings UI design, adaptive battery with AI support, new user interface, manual theme selection, adaptive brightness, app actions, smart replies, text selection, revamp to quick settings and volume section.
There are additional two features called Digital Wellbeing and Slices. Both of them are in beta stage and will be coming this fall. The new Digital Wellbeing feature is the Android dashboard which enables an efficient and controlled use of smartphones. While the Slices feature is a part of Google's initiative to bring more AI and machine learning to Android's interface. This lets you access important app functions without having to open the app.
With Android P, Google has completely changed the interface on the notification panel. The quick toggle button is moved inside the dark circle while the clock has moved to the left of the notification bar. Battery saver no longer shows an orange overlay on the notification and status bars. A new feature called Smart Replies included in Android P will scan your messages and will suggest custom replies for you.
Google had introduced the Doze mode with Android 7.0 Nougat OS. The Doze mode used to enable more battery backup when your phone is not in use. With Android Pie, Google has worked hard to bring the more advanced doze mode with App Standby, and Background Limits to further improve battery life. Additionally, to get quick screenshots, Google has added a Screenshot button to the power options.
We'll take a look at the list of Android devices getting the highly anticipated Android 9.0 Pie Update.
Google's Pixel phones got the Android 9.0 Pie update as soon as it was available. Along with that, Android One phones manufactured since October 2017 are also confirmed to receive the update later this fall. Unfortunately, no Nexus phones will get the update to Android 9.0 Pie.
As we all know, Samsung releases four premium phones every year. Like in 2017, they released Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, Galaxy S8 Active, and Galaxy Note 8. Similarly in 2018, Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy Note 9. We still have no news of the Galaxy S9 Active. So it's pretty easy to know which phones Samsung will release the Android 9.0 Pie update.
Sony confirmed that the Android 9.0 Pie update will be released to all high end models. The premium handsets including the Sony Xperia XZ2, Xperia XZ2 Premium, Xperia XZ2 Compact, Xperia XZ Premium, Xperia XZ1, and Xperia XZ1 Compact will be getting the upgrade starting November this year. While the Sony Xperia XA2, Xperia XA2 Ultra, and Xperia XA2 Plus can expect to get the Android 9 Pie upgrade by early 2019.
Motorola unveiled an official list of phones that will receive the Android 9.0 Pie update.
OnePlus announced that they look forward in bringing Android Pie to the OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5T, OnePlus 5, OnePlus 3T, and OnePlus 3 smartphones.
Soon after Google announced the Android Pie, Essential started to roll out this latest update for their smartphone. They quickly tweeted, "We're proud to bring Android 9 Pie to Essential Phone the same day it's released!". This proves that the Essential company is extremely fast at issuing the Android updates.
Vivo made the Android 9.0 Pie beta available for the Vivo X21 and the Vivo X21UD. More Vivo phone are lined up for receiving the Pie update later this year.
Xiaomi has announced the Pie beta update for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S. The company is working to provide the latest update for more Xiaomi smartphones.
Oppo has confirmed that the Oppo R15 Pro will be the first smartphone to receive the Pie beta update. Many more Oppo phones are expected to receive the update.
LG is yet to confirm the devices getting Android Pie. But it is expected that LG's flagships including the LG G7 ThinQ, LG G6, and LG V30 will receive the update.
HTC has announced the list of smartphones that will receive the Android 9.0 Pie update.
Huawei previously announced that the P20 and Mate 10 Pro would be updated, and followed up with an updated list that also included the Mate 10, Mate 10 Lite and P20 Pro.
After the Honor 10 and View 10 were confirmed to experience the Pie flavour, it was also confirmed that the newly released Honor Play would also be receiving the update.
Asus is yet to announce the Android P device list. But we expect two smartphones including Asus Zenfone 5Z and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 to receive the update.
BlackBerry Key2, BlackBerry Key2 LE and BlackBerry Motion are expected to get the Android 9 update.
HMD Global announced back in May that all Android running Nokia phones will be updated to Android P. Furthermore, the company confirmed that the Nokia 7 Plus will be the first of its devices to be updated to Android 9.0 this September.
Honestly, if your phone belongs to the flagship family, welcome to Android Pie, or else, you know where to buy a new device.
Stay tuned to this post where we'll keep you updated as soon as Android 9.0 Pie becomes available for your device. Till then keep smiling and Peace out!

Steve Grout
Steve Grout was at a holiday party a few years and was celebrating 20 years of service to the university where he worked – when he was caught off-guard by a homophobic comment that the school's president casually made. Afterwards, Steve did some research to see his salary as a tenured associate professor of architectural design was on par with other people at his level — and it wasn't. Steve's lawyer began proceedings against the university – and the case was settled in 18 months, to Steve's satisfaction. However, if Pennsylvania had statewide nondiscrimination protections in place, Steve would have been more protected in the first place.
"If the Fairness Act had been in place when I sued my university for sexual orientation employment discrimination, I never should have had to go to the courts in the first place," Steve says, explaining that it is so vital for LGBTQ Pennsylvanians to share their support for nondiscrimination protections. "They would have known better."

The title Baron of Dungannon in the Peerage of Ireland was associated with the first creation of the title of Earl of Tyrone.

History
When Conn Bacach O'Neill. 1st Earl of Tyrone surrendered his Irish principality of Tír Eoghain to Henry VIII in 1542, as part of Henry's effort to make his new Kingdom of Ireland into all of Ireland, Henry created him, on 1 October 1542, a week later, Earl of Tyrone; by the patent this was to descend to his eldest, illegitimate, son,  Ferdoragh O'Neill and his heirs; he assumed the more English name of Matthew. In the same patent he was created Baron of Dungannon, "to hold the dignity during the life of his father, with limitation to the heir apparent of the earldom," with extension to his heirs. This wording meant that the Barony was to behave like a courtesy title: the eldest son of each Earl of Tyrone was to be Baron of Dungannon until he succeeded to the Earldom, and also,  as a substantive title, it did confer a seat in the Irish House of Lords.

Matthew was the first baron among the O'Neills; when he fathered an illegitimate son himself, it became known, for distinctiveness, as Art mac Baron. Unfortunately, all was not so smooth; there was considerable sentiment against the change of law and authority involved in the change to an Earldom, and when Shane O'Neill, known as "Shane the Proud", Conn's legitimate son, grew up, he led a rebellion from 1551 onward, against Conn and Matthew and Anglo-Irish law.

When Matthew was killed, at Shane's order, in 1558, his young legitimate son Brian O'Neill became Baron of Dungannon; when his grandfather, Conn Bacach, died the next year, in exile from Tyrone, Brien should have become Earl of Tyrone instead. But his claim to the Earldom was never acknowledged; instead the Barony of Dungannon was treated as though it were not subject to any special condition, and Brien continued to be called Lord Dungannon; during these years, Queen Elizabeth's Government in Ireland was attempting to reach a settlement with Shane the Proud.

When Brien was assassinated in 1562 by Turlough Luineach O'Neill, tanist to Shane the Proud, "between Carlingford and the Newry," his younger brother Hugh continued to be treated as Baron Dungannon; when he grew up, he fought alongside the Queen's government against his uncle Shane and his cousin Turlough.

In 1585, Hugh O'Neill was seated in the Irish Parliament as Earl of Tyrone; in 1587, he received a regrant and confirmation of the Earldom, which also confirmed his son Hugh as Baron of Dungannon. This specificity was in part due to Earl Hugh's own marital complications; his first marriage, to his distant cousin, a daughter of Brien MacFelim O'Neill of Clandeboye, had been found invalid, and their children illegitimate; Hugh was the eldest son of his second wife, Joan O'Donnell, half-sister of the first Earl of Tyrconnell.

After an adventurous career, Earl Hugh, his family, and the O'Donnells left Ireland to seek Spanish aid in 1607, in the flight of the Earls; his son Hugh accompanied him, only to die in Rome in 1609. In 1608, King James I had attainted Hugh and his family, which deprived them of their lands and titles; the Irish Parliament confirmed this in 1614.

Earl Hugh and his relatives continued to use the title of Earl of Tyrone while in exile; few of them had legitimate sons to be heirs apparent. When Earl Hugh's last surviving son made his will in 1641, he called himself Earl of Tyrone and Prince of Ulster; he did not call himself or his (illegitimate) son Hugo Eugenio Baron Dungannon.

Holders
The following men were called Baron of Dungannon:
Matthew O'Neill, 1st Baron Dungannon, (bef. 1624 - 1558), cr. 1542.
Brien O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone (- 1562), de jure Baron Dungannon 1558-9, styled Dungannon 1558-1562.
Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, styled Baron Dungannon 1562-1585, never de jure: before his brother's death, he was not heir apparent, for his brother could have married and had sons; after his brother's death, he was de jure Earl of Tyrone, but not Baron Dugannon by the limitation.
Hugh O'Neill, Baron Dungannon, styled Baron Dungannon, 1587-1608, de jure from birth. Title forfeit 1608.

The title has also been extinct since the end of the male line of the grantee.

Q: Ubuntu won't boot after initializing the Build Environment for Android My laptop worked perfectly util I initialized the build environment for Android.
The GUI won't start. It looks like some kinds of graphics card problems.
I tried to fix it but after trying a lot of solutions on the internet nothing worked. (I only know basic linux stuffs.) I've already reinstalled the OS. However, I still want to build the Android from source.
Any idea what might cause the problem? any workaround?
Here is the command that I used to initialize the build environment:
$ sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so

My laptop model is asus u36sd. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_U36SD)
Thanks
Edit:
Base on this, I guess libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 might cause the issue.
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

The following packages will be REMOVED:
libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-quantal libxatracker1-lts-quantal ubuntu-desktop xorg
xserver-xorg-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-quantal
xserver-xorg-video-vmware-lts-quantal
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libdrm-intel1:i386 libdrm-nouveau1a:i386 libdrm-radeon1:i386 libdrm2:i386
libexpat1:i386 libffi6:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libllvm3.0:i386
libpciaccess0:i386 libstdc++6:i386

A: You have uninstalled quite a few important packages including ubuntu-desktop and xorg. This is the reason why you have no GUI. Still you have a shell running.
Before rebooting, switch to first terminal CTRL+ALT+F1 Log on. Then run
 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop xorg

Agree to remove libgl1-mesa-dri

A: I had the same problem. Simply re-installing the desktop using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop followed by a reboot worked for me.

I'll always remeber Berlin as a city from a movie We children from the Bahnhof ZOO.
At the age of eighteen, I visited Berlin by coincidence. I have just finished high school and won a prize-winning excursion. I and few other lucky people were put on a bus and sent on a trip to Berlin. At the time, thanks to my knowledge of the German language, when I searched for a post office (I needed the stamps to send postcards), I ended up at the underground instead of a post office. I perceived Berlin as this cool city. Dangerously cool. Oh, how I wanted to live in Berlin then.
The Flixbus ticket to Berlin cost me € 8, bed in ∞ bed room in the hostel because of late booking over € 20 / night, the fact that this was my last free weekend before the exam period was invaluable.
Berlin has everything. It's trendy. It's multicultural. It has a loooooot of history. Even the history that Berliners don't want to remember. In Berlin, you just cannot be bored. Even if you are there (as was I), for the second time or even a millionth time. Some attractions are simply a must. The Brandenburg Gate and the seat of parliament, the Checkpoint Charlie and 2711 concrete blocks, as a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. There is also the famous television tower on the Alexander Square and for all art lovers one and only Museum Island. There is always something to do.
But all of this was in the shadows of the main event, trying the best dönner in Germany. Although we went there in the middle of the day, after few hours spent in the collections that showed life in East Berlin, was there already a line of people. We had to waited for an additional hour to finally got our lunch.
During the week, we expanded our culinary research to a place where you get an extra good burger (as is said by American!) and on the place where you can find the best ice cream in Berlin. Sometimes we were even too hungry to take a selfie with all this food.
I managed to visit two other tourist attractions. My favorite monument, the memorial church of the Emperor Viliem or Der Hohle Zahn (A hollow tooth). Ruins of the church bell tower that was destroyed during the bombing in World War II. There is also a new church that was built after the war and could not be any more different from the old one.
And the East Side Gallery, the largest open-air gallery and a true monument to freedom. The Berlin Wall collapsed on November 9, 1989. It was consisting 45 tiles of concrete slabs, each weighing two and a half tonnes. After the fall, artists from around the world painted 105 images on the section along the river Spree. It took us more than an hour and a half to walk around. The most famous among the art works is probably a painting of a socialist kiss between Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker with the title "My God, help me survive this deadly love".
Has Mustafa the best dönner in Berlin? Is Burgermeister really the best master for burgers? And what about the Hokey Pokey ice cream at Stargard Strasse? I don't know, maybe. For me, the dönner is still kebab, and the burger is just a burger, sometimes good, sometimes not, and its taste also depends on the company you are eating it with. But for sure, the special spice on the burger is the last free weekend before the examination period.

Why the baby brain can learn two languages at same time
Research shows babies begin to learn language sounds before they're even born. What about babies who hear two languages from birth? Dr Naja Ferjan Ramirez investigates.
Published: 4 May 2016 11:23 CEST
How do babies learn language? Photo: Irene Zaccari / Flickr
Any adult who has attempted to learn a foreign language can attest to how difficult and confusing it can be. So when a three-year-old growing up in a bilingual household inserts Spanish words into his English sentences, conventional wisdom assumes that he is confusing the two languages.
Research shows that this is not the case.
In fact, early childhood is the best possible time to learn a second language. Children who experience two languages from birth typically become native speakers of both, while adults often struggle with second language learning and rarely attain native-like fluency.
But the question remains: is it confusing for babies to learn two languages simultaneously?
When do babies learn language?
Research shows babies begin to learn language sounds before they're even born. In the womb, a mother's voice is one of the most prominent sounds an unborn baby hears. By the time they're born, newborns can not only tell the difference between their mother's language and another language, but also show a capability of distinguishing between languages.
Language learning depends on the processing of sounds. All the world's languages put together comprise about 800 or so sounds. Each language uses only about 40 language sounds, or "phonemes," which distinguish one language from another.
At birth, the baby brain has an unusual gift: it can tell the difference between all 800 sounds. This means that at this stage infants can learn any language that they're exposed to. Gradually babies figure out which sounds they are hearing the most.

Between six and 12 months, infants who grow up in monolingual households become more specialized in the subset of sounds in their native language. In other words, they become "native language specialists." And, by their first birthdays, monolingual infants begin to lose their ability to hear the differences between foreign language sounds.
Studying baby brains
What about those babies who hear two languages from birth? Can a baby brain specialize in two languages? If so, how is this process different then specializing in a single language?
Knowing how the baby brain learns one versus two languages is important for understanding the developmental milestones in learning to speak. For example, parents of bilingual children often wonder what is and isn't typical or expected, or how their child will differ from those children who are learning a single language.
My collaborators and I recently studied the brain processing of language sounds in 11-month-old babies from monolingual (English only) and bilingual (Spanish-English) homes. We used a completely noninvasive technology called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which precisely pinpointed the timing and the location of activity in the brain as the babies listened to Spanish and English syllables.
We found some key differences between infants raised in monolingual versus bilingual homes.
At 11 months of age, just before most babies begin to say their first words, the brain recordings revealed that:
– Babies from monolingual English households are specialized to process the sounds of English, and not the sounds of Spanish, an unfamiliar language
– Babies from bilingual Spanish-English households are specialized to process the sounds of both languages, Spanish and English.
Here's a video summarizing the study.
Our findings show that babies' brains become tuned to whatever language or languages they hear from their caregivers. A monolingual brain becomes tuned to the sounds of one language, and a bilingual brain becomes tuned to the sounds of two languages. By 11 months of age, the activity in the baby brain reflects the language or languages that they have been exposed to.
Is it OK to learn two languages?
This has important implications. Parents of monolingual and bilingual children alike are eager for their little ones to utter the first words. It's an exciting time to learn more about what the baby is thinking. However, a common concern, especially for bilingual parents, is that their child is not learning fast enough.
We found that the bilingual babies showed an equally strong brain response to English sounds as the monolingual babies. This suggests that bilingual babies were learning English at the same rate as the monolingual babies.
Parents of bilingual children also worry that their children will not know as many words as children who are raised with one language.
Bilingualism does not cause confusion. jakeliefer / Flickr / CC BY
To some extent, this concern is valid. Bilingual infants split their time between two languages, and thus, on average, hear fewer words in each. However, studies consistently show that bilingual children do not lag behind when both languages are considered.
Vocabulary sizes of bilingual children, when combined across both languages, have been found to be equal to or greater than those of monolingual children.
Another common concern is that bilingualism causes confusion. Part of this concern arises due to "code switching," a speaking behavior in which bilinguals combine both languages.
For example, my four-year-old son, who speaks English, Spanish, and Slovene, goes as far as using the Slovene endings on Spanish and English words. Research shows bilingual children code-switch because bilingual adults around them do too. Code-switching in bilingual adults and children is rule-governed, not haphazard.
Unlike monolingual children, bilingual children have another language from which they can easily borrow if they can't quickly retrieve the appropriate word in one language. Even two-year-olds modulate their language to match the language used by their interlocutor.
Researchers have shown code switching to be part of a bilingual child's normal language development. And it could even be the beginning of what gives them the extra cognitive prowess known as the "bilingual advantage."
Bilingual kids are at an advantage
The good news is young children all around the world can and do acquire two languages simultaneously. In fact, in many parts of the world, being bilingual is the norm rather than an exception.
It is now understood that the constant need to shift attention between languages leads to several cognitive advantages. Research has found that bilingual adults and children show an improved executive functioning of the brain – that is, they are able to shift attention, switch between tasks and solve problems more easily. Bilinguals have also been found to have increased metalinguistic skills (the ability to think about language per se, and understand how it works). There is evidence that being bilingual makes the learning of a third language easier. Further, the accumulating effect of dual language experience is thought to translate into protective effects against cognitive decline with aging and the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
So, if you want your child to know more than one language, it's best to start at an early age, before she even starts speaking her first language. It won't confuse your child, and it could even give her a boost in other forms of cognition.

What childcare options are available over the summer in Spain?
How can you save money on schoolbooks in Spain?


We last left off enjoying your World Showcase Wine Walk and I promised to tell you what to do with your kids. Along the way in the World Showcase there are stations called Kidcot Fun Stops.
Some people have dismissed these gems for their kids because it looks like a craft station. It IS a craft station. Why would you want to have your kid stop and make a craft while you are at DISNEY? Simple. Next time you see one stand near the table and just listen to the conversations. These Kidcot Fun Stops have very little to do with the craft for me as a mama and everything to do with the opportunity for my child to interact with someone from that country we are exploring. They talk to the kids and the kids ask questions. It is an incredible learning experience.
And they do color something while they are there. Kids open up more if they are doing an activity with their hands. I think the Kidcot Fun Stops are nothing short of brilliance. And remember that Wine Walk Card? Your child is happy coloring and conversing with someone from another country, grab your wine card, grab your taste of wine, and sit back and soak in watching your child learn without even realizing that's what they are doing. It really is blissful. If it happens to be extra magic hours, the countries are even peaceful after the crowds clear out from Illuminations. This post had something for the kids but I think the mamas benefit too from this experience. Next week there will be a live post from Walt Disney World and you will find out what I think is a must do for any Mama on a Disney vacation that is six nights or longer.
I would love to hear from you. Email me or follow along on facebook.
Welcome to Mama Monday! Disney isn't all about the kiddos. There is plenty for the Mamas (and dads) to do while at Disney too and I am going to help show them to you!
Our first stop in our Mama Monday series is Epcot. It is one of my favorite parks for the evenings. I find it relaxing. We go hard during the day and come evening we want a nice meal and a drink or two and a stroll through the countries.
To help get you started check out the World Showcase Wine Walk. The above picture is courtesy of our friends over at The Disney Food Blog. It is approximately $20 for six wine tastings, two in each country of France, Italy, and Germany. You can start in any of the three countries and purchase the card there. They will staple the receipt to the card so you don't lose it. Then taste away. I have started in each of them personally and I like to end in France but it's your stroll so choose! The tastes really are a nice sized taste but no where near a full glass. It is about a 2 ounce pour of each wine. The wines are set though I have had them sub one out when they ran out. That is not usual though. So overall you are only consuming 12 ounces of wine.
Mamas tend to worry so much about what are the kids doing, how are they, that we can go the entire night and not even realize we are thirsty. Now with the wine walk card, you have bought the card. You are going to use it. You can't let it go to waste right? I think that is the beauty of it personally. It forces me as the mama to stop, take a breath , and enjoy just a little taste of something adult. Prior to kids, I would get the card as an appetizer so to speak with the wines. Just some little tastes and then I would choose which glass of wine I wanted at each country in addition to my little tastes. If that is more your style, it works too. But I imagine for most mamas the card alone will be a luxury. I mentioned I like to end in France. It is because I do still indulge in a full glass at the end of the evening on our countries stroll. The empty park benches below make a perfect spot to enjoy the wine.
I know what you are thinking, that sounds great and all but what about the kids? They will never let us stroll through the countries. Next week find out what to do with your children during your evening stroll. I promise they will be along for the walk! Are you ready to check it out in person? Email me for more information.


I have been playing around with the Urls that I use internally to the site. Some links have been using search engine optimized links (like ./snippets/) and some use the DAX (Divide and Conquer, like "?dax=blog.search"). At first it seemed that Google was not indexing the dynamic DAX pages (while Jeeves, Yahoo, and other search engines where); however, in the past few weeks, I have noticed that, while not often, Google does in fact make it's way to parts of the dynamic sections.
So, should I keep using the nice Urls? They add overhead to the page processing time. They also potentially create a bottle neck in the site since they all go through the error handler. But then again, so do links with the "index.cfm?dax=" format. I do like the look of the nice links and they certainly make tracking web stats much easier as they are unique pages instead of unique query params to the index file.
For now, I will keep them. But I am still building out the site. Who knows where I will optimize going forward.
Tweet This Fascinating post by @BenNadel - Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Revisiting Woot woot — you rock the party that rocks the body!
They all index regular application pages with ? etc. But it is much easier for crawlers to index SEF URLs.
Just check my name's link... Completely dynamic. Google now reads many types of links including those which contain spaces and national encoding characters.
I was thinking about rewriting urls for seo purpose but I realised that it is not worth it. What exists and works well, shouldn't be touched in my opinion. I achieved very good rankings for my site with dynamic URLs and without keywords within the URL.
On the other hand it caused me few problems thanks to lack of knowledge in the beginning. If you replace two variables and their values, the browser will give you the same content in both cases, however Google considers them to be 2 different URLs... Fortunately, I fixed it few weeks ago :) .
It is seen that dynamic URL are not search engine friendly and there may be problem with regular crawling of site..
Google do crawl both the links but if from SEO perspective you want to rank your page for that particular keyword so its better using the keyword in URL that's why these nicely named website get ranked well instead of the dynamic one. Dynamic one also do rank but according to there content and traffic.It's preferable using keywords for the URL as they will help you for SERP.

Grumpy face. Got even grumpier in the few seconds after this photo was taken.
I looked at the fish pie mix in the fridge, thought about yet another fish pie and felt uninspired. This is a simplified version of a bouillabaisse.
Melt the butter and oil and then cook the onion and garlic gently till transparent, then add the tarragon, veg, saffron, seasoning, tomato puree and tinned tomatoes (and half a can of water from the tap). Bring to the boil and then either simmer for 40 minutes or so, or slow cook (I put my in the Aga slow cooker for 3 hours). At that point, puree it, add the lemon juice and extra butter and tip in the fish, cooking till it's tender – about 10-15 minutes.
We had ours with bread and butter.
Fry the onion and garlic till soft then add the rest of the veg, diced into equally sized pieces. I was basically aiming for the same quantity of each veg, so start with your aubergine and attempt to match. Stir through the herbs and a dash more olive oil and simmer on a really low heat for as long as you have – a couple of hours at least.
I did it in the Aga simmering oven, where, I saw on Facebook, a friend used to keep their baby lamb as a child. Either it really is a very cool oven or that baby lamb was beautifully slow cooked. Or both.
We had ours with roast lamb (which the last story makes me feel a little queasy about) and had there been any leftovers, I planned to give it to Bert for lunch with some alphabet pasta in some sort of homage to tinned seventies childhood food.

Q: Can I talk Java into printing to the console under Mountain Lion? I'm using the good old System.out.println - approach to debug my Java application. Before I upgraded to Mac OS 10.8 this worked wonderfully. Now however my console wouldn't display anything. Apparently I'm not the first one to encounter this behavior - see http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/280577-system-out-println-not-showing-console.html.
Does any of you guys know a way?

A: System.console() returns null for me with mountain lion and java 6.
We have had to change our logging in our app to use log4j to output to stdout (which used to go to system.log prior to 10.8) AND produce our own log files in ~/Library/Logs which can be seen in console.app under any version.
Doesn't appear to be a sandboxing issue as i'm not seeing any sandboxing errors. Prob more investigation needed to see what device is being handed to the jvm under 10.8. At a guess maybe its being handed /dev/null for logging by mistake?

A: Does this work?
System.console().printf("Hello World!");

For me, a longtime New York baseball fan, the shock of no Yankees in the playoffs was less than the shock of not having Joe Torre in town for the summer, and I feel the same way now, at the beginning of his second year in exile. What's lost is not the winning so much as the elegant daily and weekly, home and away managing seminar on giving your team a chance to win, or get readyto win—or perhaps lose, if that's the way things turn out. This tone or strategy may be only another way of enunciating Yogi Berra's "In baseball you don't know nothin'," but it's a lesson I did not fully grasp until I had watched Torre sitting immobile in the Yankee dugout through many hundreds of innings, with his lidded dark gaze raised to the level of the field; one hand occasionally reaching back for another swig of green tea; his head now and then tilting toward the words of his bench coach; and, late in the evening, his shoulders lifting as he prepared to get up and climb the steps and trudge to the mound to change a pitcher and exchange a word or two with his catcher about the situation at hand.
He's a cinch for the Hall of Fame—as a manager, not a player—whenever he's ready to retire, and he's already in the Grownups Hall of Fame, which has a few more members than the one in Cooperstown but tougher admission standards.
Eloquent review from Angell, to be expected. Thanks for the link, YF, you trumped my paper copy tonight.
It is no shock that the daily print media and the blogosphere seem to have jumped to unfair conclusions about this book and Torre.

A reframed engagement with Afghanistan
By Annie Pforzheimer
Afghans are rightly concerned with the current engagement strategy of the international community—intermittently led by the United States—with senior Taliban leaders. Critics of the policy point to the inadvisable precedent of working with designated terrorists who control a country without legitimacy or mandate, jailing and disappearing protesters and reporters. Even those critics acknowledge, however, that some form of engagement is important to ensure that Afghanistan's people are not forgotten and can sustainably recover from the economic shocks of drought, COVID-19, and lost international assistance associated with the NATO presence.
The situation there requires attention, no matter how many other global crises exist.
With respect to the humanitarian needs of the population, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) issued a sobering November statement: nearly seven hundred thousand people have lost their jobs since the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan; 90 percent of those employed in Afghanistan earn less than the equivalent of $1.9 per day; and orphaned children and widows have been among the most vulnerable Afghan groups, often going without even one meal per day. According to the ICRC, about twenty million people in Afghanistan lack access to nutritious food, and more than twenty-four million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. The human rights environment is equally disastrous, with women barred from secondary schools, most employment, free movement, and most public services, while women and men who speak out against the regime are summarily arrested and in some cases executed, according to reputable human rights reports. Regional states—even those which previously supported the Taliban—have expressed increasing worry that terrorist groups are becoming more entrenched in Afghanistan and could export further instability.
The international community should take an "inclusive engagement" approach, rather than one that relies mostly on meeting with morally compromised Taliban leaders, to try to persuade them to rule according to international human rights norms. On balancing the scale of engagement that is currently tilted in favor of the Taliban, there are more options than either ignoring the opposition or getting in bed with the next insurgency, 1980's style. An approach espoused by an Afghan visiting scholar at the University of Notre Dame (and recently articulated by the president of the European Parliament) is to work with the "people of Afghanistan, not its rulers."
Inclusive engagement could involve talking to multiple, smaller Afghan groups that cross traditional ethnic or regional lines, with a focus not on who will eventually take power but on how to preserve basic human rights and freedoms today. Now is not the time to "pick the winner" or rely on former political parties. Emerging leaders can be found among the new diaspora, longtime exiles, former Afghan diplomats who still have convening power and the respect of their international colleagues, peace groups inside the country, private sector, and the non-Taliban religious and tribal hierarchy.
Over the past year, in a series of meetings in the United Nations (UN) Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Commission, the international community has articulated its positions on human rights and concerns about terrorism. We must stick to those redlines as firmly as the Taliban stick to theirs. A new overall international approach is urgently needed and should start, at long last, with a handover from failed US primacy. The United States should make it clear to the Taliban that there no longer exists a separate bilateral channel or agenda above a technical level and formally abrogate the deeply flawed 2020 Doha Agreement between the United States and the Taliban. Since it now has the most at risk geographically—given the increasing flow of drugs and migrants from South Asia in Europe—the European Union (EU) should take on the role of senior partner in the so-called "Western" effort. It is time to give the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, UNAMA, the political clout to implement explicit transparency and fairness conditionalities on humanitarian aid distribution, and to get results from its human rights interventions such as calling for the release of detained women protesters.
There should be deliberate speed to determine which Afghan voices speak for everyone else, while Afghans determine a mechanism for recognizing new leaders. There are international civil society organizations such as Freedom House who are engaged with groups in Afghanistan to monitor the civic space, while other efforts are underway by the EU. Given the human rights and democracy issues at stake, the US Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights should be the US lead, along with other senior international officials, to meet publicly with all these groups—a higher rank than those who meet with the Taliban, serving as a significant reminder to the Taliban that other Afghans have international legitimacy.
Some would argue that we must accept the Taliban as the government, a quasi-legitimate force that bested the corrupt former government. This is arguably the easiest way to deliver both humanitarian assistance and development aid, and there is even the quixotic idea that they can deliver counter-terrorism help against mutual enemies. But while their hold on power is clear for now, the Taliban are not the only interlocutors who will matter over time, given Afghanistan's difficult history and human terrain, their governing incompetence, and the existence of sporadic armed resistance groups and emerging or still-respected non-Taliban Afghan leaders. Working only with the Taliban would be just one more historical example of short-circuiting Afghan representation, and an elite bargain with them would end like other such agreements: in civil unrest, the growth of warlordism, and more Afghan migration. And, funding to help Afghans cannot exist without buy-in from Western donors, who are going to tire of funding a regime that proudly defies human rights and counter-terrorism norms at the same time its drug profits are skyrocketing.
This international "inclusive engagement" strategy needs to be both clear and well-broadcast, with logical carrot and stick applications. Ending pernicious human rights abuses and allowing others a voice in government is the only route to political recognition; sanctions relief must reflect improvement in the conditions which brought on the sanctions in the first place—supporting terrorism; and aid requires full commitment to international controls on international funds and a guarantee that the Taliban will use its own revenues to bring food and employment to starving Afghans. Once this strategy is in motion and well understood, we must remain patient. Afghanistan's situation presents a wicked dilemma which the United States helped create, and there is no shortcut to a solution.
A myriad of US national security policies, from promoting democracy, preventing atrocities, balancing China and Russia in Central Asia, countering terrorism and narcotics, and more, require us to remain engaged in and with the totality of Afghanistan.
