El Concilio de Worms se celebró en mayo de 868. Fue un concilio de la iglesia de Francia Oriental. Fue convocado por el rey Luis el Germánico a petición del papa Nicolás I. Se condenó como herético al Concilio de Constantinopla de 867 y condenó a la Gran Moravia por rebelarse contra el rey.

Al sínodo asistieron dos arzobispos, veinte obispos, un obispo y siete abades. Fue un alto nivel de asistencia para el siglo IX en Francia Oriental. Estuvo presidido por el arzobispo Liutbert de Mainz. Fue convocado en respuesta al Cisma de Focio, que dividió el Este griego y el Oeste latino, buscando defender la enseñanza occidental y la primacía papal.

Emitió una respuesta contra la herejía de los griegos (en latín: Responsio contra Grecorum heresim) para refutar el concilio de 867. En respuesta a años de disturbios en Moravia y las marcas de Panonia y Carintia, el sínodo autorizó la confiscación de la propiedad privada de los rebeldes y su excomunión. El clero rebelde fue depuesto de sus cargos. Es probable que el sínodo tuviera en mente a los misioneros bizantinos Cirilo y Metodio, que habían estado trabajando en Moravia, pero para el 868 contaban con el apoyo del papa Adriano II en Roma.

El concilio emitió 44 cánones. Siete de ellos fueron camino hacia el Decreto de Graciano, un número más alto que para cualquier otro sínodo franco, excepto el Concilio de Tribur. Los obispos en Worms estaban influenciados por los Concilios de Toledo. En materia de autoridad episcopal, los cánones citan la Collectio Hispana y no los Decretales pseudoisidorianas, ya sea porque estas últimas eran desconocidas en Francia Oriental o no se consideraban autorizadas allí. Sin embargo, las copias de los cánones se extendieron regularmente, de modo que algunas tienen hasta 80 cánones (36 falsos). Hay casi 100 fuentes manuscritas supervivientes de los cánones de Worms. Además de por Graciano, también son citados por Regino de Prüm, Burcardo de Worms, Bonizo de Sutri e Ivón de Chartres.

Contents Edit
Raven Rock is one of the more interesting colonies of Morrowind of the last two centuries. So much has happened to this tiny town in such a short amount of time, and so many lives have been affected by it, I felt it necessary to describe its rich history within these volumes. During my research, I lived in Raven Rock for almost three years, and I got to know many of my fellow Dunmer who call Raven Rock their home. I hope that my readers will appreciate the amount of fortitude and perseverance that it must take to endure life in such an inhospitable and untamed land.
Raven Rock was founded in 3E 427 by the East Empire Company in response to the discovery of a rich ebony mine on the southern edge of the island of Solstheim. The construction of the town took several months, and the mine immediately started yielding ebony ore that the miner's shipped to Windhelm in Skyrim. By 3E 432, the town was home to over thirty people, all of whom depended on the mine for their livelihood. At this time, Raven Rock was almost exclusively inhabited by Imperials and a few Nords who were drawn to the mine's wealth.
When the Oblivion Crisis arose in 3E 433, Raven Rock remained largely untouched by Mehrunes Dagon's forces and work continued as usual. The bulk of the Imperial Guard that was stationed in Raven Rock was recalled to Cyrodiil to fight the invading forces, but a few soldiers remained behind in order to protect the ebony mine from bandits. It's uncertain whether any Oblivion Gates ever opened on Solstheim, as there appears to be no record of such an event ever occurring there.
In the first year of the Fourth Era, after the destruction of Ald'ruhn, many of the Dunmer Great Houses sent out small groups of their own to seek places to reestablish themselves. House Redoran's group was led by Brara Morvayn who immediately struck out for Solstheim. After some quick negotiations with the East Empire Company (and some speculate quite a bit of coin changing hands), Brara's group was allowed to settle in Raven Rock where they quickly became a part of the mining colony's way of life. The Dunmer proved to be both hard-working and reliable when it came to working in the mines, impressing the East Empire Company and solidifying their relationship.
All was going quite well until that fateful day in 4E 05 when the Red Mountain suddenly erupted, sending a massive blast across the Sea of Ghosts that struck Solstheim with its full fury. Raven Rock was heavily damaged by this wave of force, which toppled several of its stone structures and obliterated many of the wooden ones. Ironically, the mine once again proved to be the town's saving grace, as most of the population of Raven Rock was working underground at the time, and was completely shielded from the blast. This event wasn't without cost, however. Raven Rock was heavily dependent on nearby Fort Frostmoth for its defense, but the eruption had almost completely wiped it from the face of Solstheim. The few soldiers that survived took residence in Raven Rock itself and attempted to set up a makeshift garrison there, but these scant few were hardly a match for potential threats to their town. With the East Empire Company's permission, Brara brought in some of house Redoran's elite "Redoran Guard" to fill the void. The guard proved to be an ideal replacement for the fallen Imperial soldiers and have been guarding the town ever since.

202/366 – Picking up the Pieces
Day 60 of 100 Word Prompts: Drink
The blindness left behind in the wake of the stranger cleared from Zhen's eyes a moment after they had gone. From where he still lay on the floor, attempting to protect Meng from the attacker's blade, he looked down to find her staring up at him completely uninjured.
"You saved me," Meng said, her eyes brimming with tears before she threw her arms around his neck.
"No," Zhen said, shaking his head, "someone else saved us both."
Meng pulled away, a confused expression on her face. "What? But that thing is gone."
"There was a bright light," Zhen began, suddenly feeling awkward on the floor with her. He moved away and got back to his feet, helping her up as well. "Sorry for getting so close. I thought it was going to kill us."
"What do you mean there was a bright light?" Meng asked. "Like how bright?"
"Blinding," Zhen replied. "I thought we were both dead. That thing threw you against the wall and moved to stab you. I tried to block it, but there was a flash, and I couldn't see anything. I heard someone yell something about it being the scourge of the land, and then there was nothing. Whoever they were, they called that thing a revenant."
Meng burst into tears and fell into a chair, covering her face. Her sobs came in great heaves as her body shook.
"It's okay, Meng. We're both fine," Zhen said.
Zhen wanted to touch her and comfort her, but he was having trouble wrapping his mind around what had happened too. The words had come out of his mouth, but the reality of what had just occurred settled in, and he froze. He knew he had gotten closer to death than he had ever been at the hands of the revenant, but someone had come in and saved them both. A sniffle from Meng snapped his attention back to her, and only then did he realize she was staring at him.
"What?" he asked.
"I just can't believe we're alive," Meng said. "I'm so happy you're okay."
"Okay might be a strong word at the moment," Zhen replied, "but alive, definitely. Who was the person that saved us? Do you know them?"
Meng shook her head. "Probably a cleric or something," she replied.
"That power," Zhen said, taking a seat across from her. "As strong as that thing was, I'm surprised that they were able to deal with it so fast. That's crazy."
"Clerics are powerful conduits for the gods," Meng said, wiping the tears from her eyes. "I need a drink. Would you like one?"
Zhen nodded as Meng walked to the water pitcher and grabbed two cups. He watched her pour the water with shaky hands before returning and handing him one. She sat across from him and just stared into the liquid with distant eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhen asked, drawing her attention back to him.
"I didn't want to say anything," Meng said, "but I recognized that thing when I saw it."
"You recognized it?" Zhen repeated, not believing what she was saying.
Meng nodded.
"It looked like my brother," Meng replied, "but it couldn't have been. Yin died a span ago and was buried."
"You think it was your brother, then?" Zhen asked.
"The way he was acting wasn't right. He was a gentle man who cared for others," Meng said, shaking her head. "I can't imagine him ever being like that."
"Do you know what a revenant is?" Zhen asked.
"I've heard of them before, but my brother died because he was sick. He didn't have any reason like that to bring him back," Meng said. "Besides, who would he take vengeance on?"
"He came here," Zhen said, "Do you think he wanted to come after you?"
"No," Meng said. "I sat beside him the entire time. He went peacefully. Whatever that thing was, it was not my brother."
Silence fell over the room for a few minutes while they both thought about what had occurred. Zhen had a creeping feeling that there could be more of those monsters out there. That somehow something might be going on under the noses of the citizens in the city.
Meng rose from her chair and set her cup on the table. She moved with such forceful effort as she bent and began picking up the broken pieces of her home. Zhen joined her in her endeavor, cleaning the house together until the morning light peeked through the window.
"Thank you," Meng said as she took the last pieces of the broken door from Zhen's hands. "I'm sorry that this happened."
"It's not your fault," Zhen said.
"I know what I said, and I know who my brother was, but it doesn't make any sense. Why else would he come back from the dead and come here? I must have done something. I must have wronged him somehow," she said, searching Zhen's face for answers.
"I don't think that was it. That thing referenced something about sacrifice and a prison," Zhen reasoned. "Was your brother involved with a cult or something?"
"No," Meng said, shaking her head. "He lived only to serve the people."
"You said he got sick before he died?" Zhen asked. "Did the clerics at the temple not help him?"
"They tried," Meng said. "More than once, actually. They said that there was something else happening. I had assumed that they only wanted money to save him."
"Which clerics saw your brother?" Zhen asked.
"Ametiel, from the temple of Eldath," Meng replied. "They tried hard to save him. I didn't see it in my grief initially, but things were happening so fast. They just couldn't save him."
Zhen thought about it for a moment, looking at his newfound friend's sadness. Though she tried to hide it, he caught her eyes darting to the empty doorway frequently as though expecting to see the revenant again.
"I suppose the market is opening soon, and I should find a carpenter to replace my door," Meng said with a sigh.
"Let me do it," Zhen said. "I have to go out anyway. It's the least I can do for letting me spend the night."
"Let me get you some coin," Meng said, turning away from him.
"I'll be back before you know it," he called behind him as he ran out of the house.
Zhen would see the carpenter first, but then he needed to make a stop at the temple to see the cleric. There were more questions as well, like who had known that the revenant was at Meng's home to arrive so soon after the creature. Maybe he would find some answers there.

mac, linux, blogging
I've been plagued by temptation lately to buy a Pinebook Pro. My current laptop is really a desktop replacement, a beast that can hardly last an hour untethered from a power socket. It's usually not worth the hassle of extracting it from its tangled nest of cables when I want to compute elsewhere, and that's fine - it's the workhorse. But as a result, the idea of a light, efficient laptop is alluring, especially when it's one that runs Linux.
Out with the New
However, I don't really like to buy new devices without good reason. I already have another laptop that meets the criteria of being relatively light and portable - the MacBook Pro that served as my main work machine between 2015 and 2019 when my wife and I were floating around Ireland, France and Spain and living out of the back of our car. I have been using it as a more portable option already on occasion, but it has a few annoying problems:
The battery isn't in great shape, so while it's a lot better than my main laptop, it's nothing like that expected of the Pinebook Pro.
The OS is outdated. It's demanding constantly that I update to a newer version of MacOS, but I don't want to. Apparently it could run the latest version, but I don't trust Apple to preserve the usability of old devices.
It runs MacOS. MacOS is fine - it's a Unix, it's not Windows… but it still has a lot of little annoyances, it's proprietary, and to be honest, I'm bored with it.
Basically it's lost its shine, and isn't fun to use anymore.
A Cunning Plan
One of Linux's oft-heralded killer use-cases is in giving old hardware new life. I've never really used it for that explicit purpose - whenever I use Linux, it's just because I prefer to use Linux, even if it happens to be on old or low-powered machines. This one isn't exactly an ancient artifact, but I thought maybe installing a Linux distro with a lightweight desktop environment would help stretch the battery life and make it feel a bit snappier, more like a new machine.
The two distros I considered were ElementaryOS and Xubuntu. I'm not sure how lightweight Elementary's DE is, but I liked the look of it, so I decided to try it out with an eye to maybe using it as my main OS some day.
First impressions were great - it only used 700MB of RAM after booting (compared to nearly 4GB for MacOS!), and the degree of visual flair and polish were incredibly impressive. Unfortunately a couple of things put me off - when I cut the CPU frequency to 800MHz I began to experience occasional lag, and at one point the shell crashed with no way to recover it!
I didn't have any experiences like that with Xubuntu. I ran it for a whole day from a USB stick, installed a bunch of software, worked on a blog post, and had no issues - so that was that decision made! It's definitely not as visually impressive as Elementary, but I'd rather a responsive system than a pretty one in this case.
Installation was pretty smooth, especially compared to installing Linux on PowerPC Macs back in the day. The only snag was with the proprietary wireless driver. This was easily enough installed using the "Additional Drivers" settings dialog when running from the USB stick, but after installation the required driver was no longer available. Having no other means to connect to a network, this was a serious problem!
Solving this involved a couple of steps. First I enabled the "CDROM" source in the Software & Updates settings, under the "Other Software" tab. This caused the driver to become available in the Additional Drivers dialog, but it wouldn't install. The problem was that the live USB stick was mounted somewhere under /media/kevin, but apt expected it to be mounted at /media/cdrom, which didn't even exist. Unmounting the USB stick and running the following commands sorted it out, and allowed me to connect to the WiFi to install and upgrade other packages.
sudo mkdir /media/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom
sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
Unfortunately the results were not quite what I'd hoped. I performed a test where I played a movie and music on a loop under both OSes, and Xubuntu was down to 10% battery in 1 hour 46 minutes, while Mac OS took 2 hours and 28 minutes to reach the same level. This was with all cores throttled to 800MHz under Xubuntu, and MacOS doing whatever it does naturally to save energy, but full screen and keyboard backlight brightness on both.
While Xubuntu runs great, and is much more pleasant to use for me, it doesn't seem to achieve the same battery life under similar loads. I'm torn now between the user experience I prefer under Xubuntu and the superior energy efficiency of MacOS… Or perhaps buying a Pinebook after all!

The operation of multirotor drones is much simpler as compared to other drones and is hence preferred over the other types of drones. By changing the speed of the rotor and through the adjustment of thrust produced by each rotor, multirotor drones can be controlled. Application of multirotor drones is seen in business and commerce, defense and law enforcements. There will be a significant increase in the use of multirotor drones in defense and law enforcement vertical and a substantial growth in the market for multirotor drones will be visible.
The global multirotor drones market is segmented into its payload, application, and geography. On the basis of payload, the global market is divided into cameras, electro-optical sensors, wireless HD video transmission systems, Wi-Fi, LiDAR, GPS/INS, laser designators, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) sensors, and sense and avoid/tracking system. On the basis of application, the global multirotor drones market is segregated into aerial shooting, law enforcement, defense environment inspection and business and commerce. Diversification of the global multirotor market is seen into regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa and Latin America.
Features of multirotor drones such as efficiency, ability to endure extreme conditions, advancement in technology in this field and innovations carried out on multirotor drones are expected to grow the global market significantly. In addition, use of multirotor drones in non-military applications such as aerial shooting, environmental inspection, agriculture, sports coverage has positively influenced the global multirotor drones market. Benefits derived from multirotor drones include flexibility in operation, low operational cost, low cost of ownership and high precision in action, which are driving the multirotor drones global market. In the coming future, a major share of demand may be visible from the business and commerce sector due to which the potential for growth of the global market will increase appreciably. However, factors hampering the growth of the global multirotor drones market include declining defense budgets, procedural issues, lack of skilled pilots, and air traffic management norms in terms of compulsory supervision on the drone.
Asia Pacific and the Middle East are anticipated to grow at the fastest rate in the multirotor drones market. Major reasons for this growth can be attributed to the political unrest and disputes in these regions. India, China, South Korea, and Australia are the new growth regions in Asia Pacific owing to the high investments made in research and development. Growth in North America and Europe is expected to be on a slower pace due to the budget cuts and economic downturn. Countries such as the U.S. and the U.K. are experiencing economic difficulties. A considerable amount of growth is seen in France, and Germany in Europe. The budget cut is anticipated to slow down the defense industry and adversely impact the multirotor drones market in North American and European regions. The Rest of the World region has a potential for growth in the multirotor drones market.
Some of the major companies in the global multirotor drones are DJI Innovation, AeroVironment Inc., Microdrones GmbH, Israel Aerospace Industries, 3D Robotics, Draganfly Innovations, Aibotix, Cyberhawk Innovation Ltd., Coptercam, and Aeryon Labs.

Economic interactions
Capitalism, industry and the mainstream
Nick Crossley
This chapter argues that musical interaction is often also economic interaction, involving interdependence and power. It elaborates upon these ideas, discussing both the music industry and the interplay of music and capitalism in doing so. It concludes with a discussion of the distinction between mainstream and alternative music.
in Connecting sounds
Film, Media and Music
This chapter introduces the book, outlining its main argument, setting it in context and providing a brief summary of the content of the chapters which follow.
Mainstream and beyond
The musical universe and its worlds
This chapter picks up on the idea of the mainstream, introduced in the previous chapter, and also the concept of 'music worlds', briefly discussed earlier in the book. It elaborates further upon both, developing a concept of a musical universe comprising both a mainstream and multiple alternative music worlds. The chapter concludes with an empirical demonstration of some of these ideas.
Music as social interaction
Embedded, embodied and multivalent
This chapter begins by asking what music is. It first considers the idea that music is 'humanly organised sound' before progressing to a definition of music as social interaction. This idea is unpacked throughout the chapter and it is argued that musical interaction is embodied, multivalent and multiply embedded.
Musicking networks
Nodes, ties and worlds
This chapter picks up and further develops the idea of 'networks', which has been introduced in earlier chapters. Drawing upon formal social network analysis and the body of literature associated with it, it explains how we might think about networks in relation to music, how and why they develop and why they are important. There is an extended discussion of social capital and its relevance to music.
Political interactions
Publics, protest and the avant-garde
The final chapter considers the various ways in which musical interactions might be considered political interactions. It begins with a critical discussion of Adorno's account of the politics of avant-garde and popular music respectively, moving on to a discussion of the ways in which music might help to create a public sphere. It then considers both how music might serve as a political resource and politics as a musical resource, before discussing the ways in which music worlds sometimes serve to incubate alternative values and identities, potentially prefiguring wider political changes. Music worlds can be political worlds too.
Practical interactions
Use, taste, identity
Continuing and further developing the theme of meaning from the previous chapter, this chapter explores how music is used by listeners, particularly in the context of their identity work, and how this affects their tastes. It is argued that our stronger musical preferences are often for pieces, artists or genres who have in some way become bound up with our identities and the ongoing work of maintaining them.
Semiotic interactions
Meaning, communication and affect
This chapter argues that musical interactions orient around meaning, that the meaningfulness of music is one key reason for its sociological importance, and it offers a discussion of one facet of musical meaning: semiotic meaning. Drawing upon the work of C.S. Peirce in particular, it is argued that various aspects of music function as (meaningful) signs, and that music has both internal and external meanings.

Q: Is there a direct approach to format numbers in jinja2? I need to format decimal numbers in jinja2.
When I need to format dates, I call the strftime() method in my template, like this:
{{ somedate.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }}

I wonder if there is a similar approach to do this over numbers.
Thanks in advance!

A: You can do it simply like this, the Python way:
{{ '%04d' % 42 }}

{{ 'Number: %d' % variable }}

Or using that method:
{{ '%d' | format(42) }}

I personally prefer the first one since it's exactly like in Python.

A: Formatting and padding works well in the same way.
{{ "{0}".format(size).rjust(15) }}

A: I want to highlight Joran Beasley's comment because I find it the best solution:
Original comment:

can you not do {{ "{0:0.2f}".format(my_num) }} or {{ my_num|format "%0.2f" }} (wsgiarea.pocoo.org/jinja/docs/filters.html#format) –  Joran Beasley Oct 1 '12 at 21:07`

Indeed, {{ '{0:0.2f}'.format(100) }} works fantastically.
This is just python string formatting. Given the first argument, {0}, format it with the following format 0.2f.

A: You could use round it will let you round the number to a given precision
usage is:
 round(value, precision=0, method='common')

The first parameter specifies the precision (default is 0), the second the rounding method from which you can choose 3:
'common' rounds either up or down
'ceil' always rounds up
'floor' always rounds down

A: I know the OP says 'direct' but after a good hour wasted on this I personally came to this conclusion: 'direct' solutions for printing numbers in Jinja2 are either:

*

*hard to read (if you don't code in Python every day all day);

*or do stuff you may not necessarily want (e.g. drop trailing zeros.)

Ended up with this which is short and gives me code that's easy to read:
@app.template_filter()
def two_decimals_rounded_up(value):
    """
    Filter to always print with two decimals, rounded up.

    We need this because:
    - The built-in `round` filter provided by Jinja2 will drop trailing zeros.
      e.g. `|round(precision=2, method='ceil')`
    - String formatting in Python is fucking unreadable.

    On rounding up: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9232310/1717535
    """
    return '{0:.2f}'.format(math.ceil(value * 100.0) / 100.0)

And then in the template:
{{ duration|two_decimals_rounded_up }}

MPharma aims to eventually supply drugs to public hospitals as well as private pharmacies.
A Ghana-based start-up has received $1.5 million from Ebay billionaire Jeff Skoll to support its work in changing Africa's pharmaceutical industry to make medicines more affordable.
MPharma is one of five social businesses to receive awards from the Skoll Foundation.
Pharmacy owners in African countries such as Ghana and Nigeria have to negotiate prices individually with drug suppliers.
The biggest challenge in many African countries is the availability of products, the quality and the affordability.

De Medaille met de Heilige Kroon is een Hongaarse onderscheiding uit de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw.

Geschiedenis
De Oostenrijks-Hongaarse onderscheiding Signum Laudis bleef onder een andere naam en in een andere vorm in Hongarije voortbestaan. In 1921 maakte de Hongaarse regent Miklós Horthy bekend dat ook Hongarije een Signum Laudis (Hongaars: Katonai Érdemkereszt) zou verlenen. Er kwamen na 14 juni 1922 twee uitvoeringen van deze medaille.

 "Signum Laudis voor "volkomen erkenning" aan een groen lint.
 "Signum Laudis voor "volkomen en bijzondere erkenning" aan een groen lint met rood-witte bies.

Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog volgde nog een Signum Laudis aan een rood oorlogslint met groen-witte bies en met zwaarden op het lint. De medailles werden in brons en in zilver toegekend.

De eerste medaille was voor burgers, de tweede voor militairen.

Voor "persoonlijke moed" werd de onderscheiding aan een lint met vier rode en vier witte strepen, alle strepen zijn even breed, toegekend. De medaille heette van 1921 tot 1929 "Zilveren Medaille voor Moedige Daden" en na 1929 "Medaille voor met persoonlijke moed volbrachte daden". De onderscheiding werd tachtigmaal aan dit lint toegekend.

De medaille werd ook tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog aan de aan Duitse zijde vechtende Hongaarse officieren toegekend. Het patriarchaal kruis uit het oude Hongaarse wapen verving het portret van de Oostenrijkse keizer en ook het randschrift werd vervangen. Men koos voor een lauwerkrans in plaats van een tekst. Boven de medaille verbond een niet al te gedetailleerd weergegeven Stefanskroon de onderscheiding met het lint. Op de achterzijde staan de woorden "SIGNUM LAUDIS".

De medaille werd omgedoopt tot Medaille met de Heilige Kroon. Hongarije kende ook een Orde van Verdienste die in het Hongaars "Magyar Érdemrend, Signum Laudis polgári" heette. Het renomé van de oude keizerlijke onderscheiding was zo groot dat men de medaille in Hongarije in de wandeling "Signum Laudis" bleef noemen.

De regent stelde ook een "groot Signum Laudis" in. Deze medaille werd niet zoals dat in het Keizerrijk was voorgeschreven, op de linkerborst gedragen maar werd aan een rood lint met een witte rand om de hals gedragen. Het kleinood was schitterend uitgevoerd met een zeer gedetailleerde gouden Stefanskroon met afhangende infulae en groen geëmailleerde bladeren in de lauwerkrans. Er werden militaire exemplaren "met de zwaarden" verleend waarbij twee gekruiste zwaarden onder de kroon werden bevestigd. Het gouden patriarchaal kruis uit het oude Hongaarse wapen werd op een zwart gemaakte achtergrond geplaatst. Op de achterzijde staan de woorden "SIGNUM LAUDIS".

Op 14 februari 1945 werden de statuten herzien en werd een derde graad, het "Gouden Signum Laudis" ingesteld. Men behoefde niet eerst in een lagere graad te zijn benoemd om een zilveren of gouden medaille te kunnen ontvangen maar van verlening is niets meer gekomen. In april 1945 werd Hongarije door de Russen bezet. De in 1946 uitgeroepen republiek en ook de volksrepubliek hebben het Signum Laudis niet verleend.

The microprocessor is the most fully tested, and most reliable part in my kits. When there is a problem people seem to leap to the conclusion that the micro must be bad. But in reality they rarely fail. I have sold 1000's of kits and maybe a dozen or two replacement micros, In almost all those cases the customer was disappointed that the micro didn't fix their problem.
Assembly errors, bad solder joints, shorts, broken wires.
The most difficult problems are intermittent ones. These can be frustrating to localize, because doing some thing like changing the micro may cause the until to start working again. But this was not the real problem, some intermittent contact or short, corrected itself, only to re-appear sometime later. Intermittent problems are never a micro issue, they are usually a poor connection somewhere, though I have seen at least one intermittent Crystal, most likely due to an intermittent internal connection.
Reformatting the DDS Micro EEPROM solves many problems, the procedure can be found in the manual under "Function Switch Operation"
MIcros are only offered for the purposes of repair or upgrade of a previously purchased a DDS kit.
Note that the vintage version s/w requires a 16x1 LCD (1 line of 16 characters). The standard version will work with many different LCD types, but a 16x2 is recommended. Either will work on any PCB Oct 2011 or later.
Note: All micros (both original or replacement) have security bit set so that they cannot be copied. We do not release code under any circumstances.

Biografia
Illarion Michajlovič Prjanišnikov nacque a Timašovo (oggi appartenente all'Oblast' di Kaluga) da una famiglia di mercanti. Dal 1856 al 1866 studiò alla scuola di Mosca di pittura, scultura e architettura nelle classi di Evgraf Sorokin e Sergej Zarjanko.

Il suo quadro Burloni. Gostinij Dvor a Mosca, dipinto durante l'ultimo anno scolastico, gli portò immediatamente una larga fama. In questa piccola tela egli trova una soluzione originale per il tema dell'umiliazione della dignità umana, l'insensibilità e la crudeltà del mondo, dove tutto può essere comprato e venduto. Vengono rappresentati dei mercanti ubriachi che con scherno costringono un anziano ufficiale a danzare al suono della concertina, l'artista volle così mostrare una serie di deformità morali e il compiacimento della decadenza. Il dipinto causò l'indignazione di alcuni aderenti all'arte ufficiale dell'accademia a cui sembrava che il giovane pittore volesse distruggere la destinazione "elevata" dell'arte ovvero l'espressione della forma ideale delle verità eterne.

Nel 1870 ricevette il titolo di "pittore di primo grado". Dal 1873 fino alla sua morte fu insegnante alla scuola di Mosca di pittura, scultura e architettura, e tra i suoi allievi ci furono: Konstantin Korovin, Vitold Bjalynickij-Birulja e Michail Nesterov.

Dalla nascita del movimento dei Peredvižniki, egli ne fu membro e dopo la seconda mostra fu uno ne fu uno dei direttori. Prjanišnikov visse quasi tutta la sua vita a Mosca, visitando spesso il nord della Russia dove disegnava. Prese parte alla decorazione della cattedrale del Cristo Salvatore.

Prjanišnikov morì a Mosca dove gli fu intitolata una via.

That means 4 colors is all that is on the reel. Leadcore does not do well rubbing on rod tips or in releases. You will be disappointed if you try leaving the leadcore at the rod tip or in a release. Some guys will do segments like 3 colors then mono for 50 ft then 4 colors and then mono- that way then can let out 3 colors and clip on the mono on a board etc..
Saw this on Mpls a-sales-site - get the word out [email protected] While driving down the road today I came across someone's hunting gear. I decided to pick it up out of the road for a couple of reasons. 1. people were either driving over it, or swirving to miss it (neither is safe). 2. I'd hope that someone would do the same if it were my gear. While I could make use of it, I'd prefer it get back to the rightful owner. I can only imagine the anguish he is feeling right about now....getting up to the hunting spot only to find some important items are missing. So I figured even though it's a longshot, I'd advertise and see if the owner and I cross paths. Ask around and see if any of your buddies had the misfortune of losing some gear. If so have them contact me here describing what was lost in detail. The rightful owner will know what is missing, what brand(s), size(s), color(s), number(s) of each item. Thanks.

Q: Should closed questions qualify for Announcer, Booster, and Publicist badges? I've been running a publicist badge experiment lately.
I think it is safe to say that there is a strong benefit to sharing most of the questions.
However, is it worthwhile to reward users for sharing gimmicky closed questions like "What's your favorite programmer cartoon?"
Is there a net benefit to the site, or does it bring people to the site in the wrong way?
I think the answer is: probably not worth it. They probably shouldn't count towards sharing badges. As it stands, there is an incentive to share such questions because they are indeed very interesting to many.
Edit

*

*There may be another category of questions that shouldn't apply, such as some locked questions. What is your best programmer joke?

*This experiment involved rapidly sharing questions on relevant subreddits and hacker news. This lasted about 9 days and was enough to generate some backlash from reddit. I do not recommend sharing questions in this matter, especially over a prolonged period, as it can impact other communities' views of SO in a negative way.


An oldie but still an immensely relevant and potent classic training DVD produced by one of my favourite obedience trainer, the late Patti Ruzzo who still inspires me today whenever I watch or listen to any one of her DVDs or CD.
Recorded in 1996 as part of the "Power of Positive Training" Series Patty explains and demonstrates laying the foundation for the basics of heeling, attention and retrieving including a video sequence of the progression from the early stages of a young puppy through adolescence.
Recorded in 1997 as a sequel to "Competition Basics" Patty demonstrates using reinforcement to polish "fronts & finishes" and increase competition scores. In the second half of this disc Patty gives some ideas for changing reinforcement and practice routines to keep the dog's intensity, interest and maximize performance.

Chocoholic Weekend at Three Ways House, The morning after the night before!
The bubbles from the night before and the chocolate clearly had an effect on us because the following morning we were awake before the birds. Making the most of the peace and quiet we exchanged our anniversary cards and pondered the idea of breakfast.
Still being full from the night before we both entered the restaurant with slight trepidation. But once I caught sight of the full english buffet, my stomach suddenly rumbled....it never has been known to turn down a good hotel breakfast!
Of course, it wouldn't be a chocoholic weekend with the presence of a Pain au Chocolat!
On the back of the menus there was a list of the suppliers that all of the breakfast was bought from. I thought this was a nice touch, it's a great way of knowing that you are eating quality, reasonably sourced food without having to be "that person".
Mr M was starting to waiver by this point, it was a lot of chocolate to take and I guess it's just too much for some! Luckily we had the treasure hunt to take his mind off of it. The Treasure Hunt was themed on chocolate, every answer to the clues were well known chocolate bars. We were given a list of clues that took us on a tour of the local villages. It was great fun and I should imagine that the villages we drove through were lovely.....however I wouldn't know. I got too excited by the hunt and spent the entire hunt shouting "GO GO GO! DRIVE FASTER!"
Oddly enough, we were the first back to the hotel but did just as dismally as the other couples involved, failing dramatically with only 4 of 10 answers correct.....!
After a quick rest with another hot chocolate we were led into the cooking demonstration where we were taught how to make truffles, chocolate mousse and a 2minute microwave pudding. We also got the chance to taste varying cocoa content chocolate, starting with Dairy Milk at 20% and ending with a 90%. The demonstration wasn't my favourite part of the whole weekend, I'll be honest. Perhaps I was still on a come down from the treasure hunt but I felt as though we could have been shown some more exciting recipes.....or maybe I just need to get out of the kitchen a little more.
At the end of the demo each couple was given a goody bag with all of the answers from the hunt inside along with the recipes for the recipes in the demo to take away with us.
This weekend is the best weekend I have had in a very long time and I would recommend it to anyone who asked. It isn't cheap costing £145 per person for just one night stay in a standard room, it certainly isn't a cheap get away but it is worth every penny. It is a must for any foodie or chocolate lover out there!
The hotel was gorgeous, with just the right balance of cosiness with style. The food was superb (I still dream about that steak now....) But the thing that made our weekend the most was the staff. With a special mention to Ollie on Front of House who was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, the whole team were brilliant.

"You seem to imply you just wouldn't be able to help yourself at Skara Brae. It's not a matter of huge willpower though? Erm shall I shan't I? Oh I simply must, I can't hold myself back, it's beyond my control? Surely not.
Also you seem to imply I'm being dishonest to myself for claiming I wouldn't do it. But I'm far from perfect and I really don't think I would. I think I could bear to hold myself back. It wouldn't be too much of a dilemma."
Er that's a no. I deliberately clarified it for you in the next post.

Share this Story: Harper's move to Calgary will cut tax duty
Harper's move to Calgary will cut tax duty
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who will be resigning next week but will remain as the member of Parliament for his own riding of Calgary Heritage, is moving back to Calgary. While this may seem like a logical decision, given that he must vacate the official PM residence of 24 Sussex Dr., his choice to leave Ontario for Alberta prior to year-end is a tax-savvy move that could save him tens of thousands in taxes in 2015.
Jamie Golombek
That's because provincial residency and where you pay provincial tax is based on where you live on the last day of the year, regardless of where you lived during the year. Of course it's not as simple as checking into an Alberta hotel before midnight Dec. 31 to be considered a provincial resident of Alberta for the year. The determination of provincial residency looks to the province where you have the "most significant residential ties."
Harper's move to Calgary will cut tax duty Back to video
Significant residential ties include the location of your home, your spouse or partner and family. Mr. Harper should have no problem satisfying this test as his wife and daughter, who is already enrolled in a Calgary school, will also be living in Calgary. His son will continue studying at Queen's University in Ontario.
Of course, sometimes it's not practical for a family to move midway through the school year, in which case the determination of provincial residency also looks at secondary ties, which can include: maintaining a recreational membership in the province, using that province's hospital or medical insurance coverage, continuing to drive a vehicle registered in the province and holding a driver's licence from that province.
The Canada Revenue Agency has stated that it is indeed possible for someone to be resident in more than one province. The CRA will look at all the facts to determine in which province you have the most significant residential ties. If that province can't be determined, then your province of residence would be the province in which you have the most secondary residential ties.
So how much tax will Mr. Harper potentially save in 2015?
Given the PM's salary of $335,000, adjusted slightly downward to $307,000 for 2015 since he will only receive an MP's salary for the last two months of the year, and assuming no other income or tax credits, his combined federal/Ontario tax bill would have been $125,000, putting his average tax rate at about 41 per cent and his marginal tax rate on any additional income at 49.53 per cent.
By moving to Alberta before the end of the year, Mr. Harper's federal/Alberta combined tax bill on his Parliamentary income drops by about $18,000 to $107,000, resulting in an average tax bill of 35 per cent and a marginal rate on other income of 40.5 per cent.
So, if you're a high-income Canadian contemplating a move to Alberta over the next number of months, you may want to follow in Mr. Harper's footsteps and accelerate that move before Dec. 31.


One of the most visible changes, at least during the installation process, is the revamped dialog for creating local users. There is a full screenshots-packed description of the original problems (at usability and code levels) and the implemented solution in the description of this pull request at Github.com.
Spoilers: the new dialog looks like the screenshot below and the openSUSE community now needs to decide the default behavior we want for Tumbleweed regarding password encryption methods. To take part in that discussion, read the mentioned description and reply to this thread in the openSUSE Factory mailing list.
Beyond the obvious changes for the final user, the implementation of the new dialogs resulted in a much cleaner and more tested code base, including a new reusable class to greatly streamline the development of new installation dialogs in the future.
In the highlights of the previous sprint, we already explained the YaST team is putting a lot of effort in rewriting the layer that access to disks, partitions, volumes and all that. One important milestone in such rewrite is the ability to examine a hard disk with a complex partitioning schema (including MS Windows partitions, a Linux installation and so on) and propose the operations that need to be performed in order to install (open)SUSE. It's a more complex topic that it could look at the first glance.
During this sprint we created a command line tool that can perform that task. Is still not part of the installation process and will take quite some time until it gets there, but it's already a nice showcase of the capabilities of the new library.
If a download error occurred during the installation of any module or extension requiring an EULA, YaST simply exited after displaying a pop-up error, as you can see here.
Now the workflow goes back to the extension selection, to retry or to deselect the problematic extension. Just like this.
Snapper and libstorage now build the Git "master" branch continuously on ci.opensuse.org (S, L), and commit a passing build to the OBS development project (S, L), and if the version number has changed, submit the package to Factory (S, L).
The same set-up works on ci.suse.de (S, L), committing to the SUSE's internal OBS instance (S, L) and submitting to the future SLE12-SP2 (S, L).
This brings these two packages up to the level of automation that the YaST team uses for the yast2-* packages, and allows releasing simple fixes even by team members who do not work on these packages regularly.
While installing software, YaST provides a visual overview of the free space in the different mount points of the system. With Btrfs and its subvolumes feature, the separation between a physical disk and its mount point is not that clear anymore. That resulted in wrong reports in YaST, like the one displayed in the left bottom corner of this screen.
The actual calculation of free space is performed by libzypp (the Zypper library), YaST only takes care of rendering the result of that calculation in the screen. Thus, we closely collaborated with the Zypper developer, Michael Andres, to teach libzypp how to deal with Btrfs subvolumes. Thanks to his work, with any version of libzypp >= 15.21 (already available in Tumbleweed), you can enjoy an error-free disk usage report.
To ensure we have no regressions, the YaST team also contributed a new test to openQA. See it in action.
We have received several bug reports about problems executing AutoYaST or YasT2-Firstboot in combination with complex network settings or third party services… and even in some simple scenarios. Many of these problems boil down to a single culprit – the dependencies of the YaST related systemd units.
During this sprint we have simplified the unit files for Tumbleweed and SLE, as you can see in this pull request. It's a small change but with a huge impact and several implications, so a lot of time was invested into testing during the sprint. The problems seem to be gone, but more AutoYaST and YaST-Firstboot testing would be highly appreciated.
As usual, this is only a brief collection of highlights of all the job done during the sprint. Using Scrum terminology, this represents only 27 story points out of a total of 81 story points delivered by the team during this sprint. Using more mundane words, this is just a third part of what we have achieved during the last three weeks.
Hopefully, enough to keep you entertained until the next report in other three weeks!

MY SAFETY
Attorneys rest in Miranda murder case
Chelcey Adami
The Californian
The prosecution and defense rested Monday in the jury trial of a man accused of vehicular hit-and-run deaths of two women while under the influence of marijuana two years ago.
Francisco Miranda, 25, is being prosecuted for the deaths of 24-year-old Linda Rascon Williams and 57-year-old Cynthia Lane on Nov. 20, 2013.
Williams, a hospital security guard, was returning a backpack to Lane, a patient who had just left the hospital, when Miranda allegedly drove his vehicle into the two women on East Laurel Drive at Constitution Boulevard just after 7 p.m. Both died shortly after.
Prosecutors have said he ran them over while driving under the influence of marijuana.
Miranda faces two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence causing injury, hit-and-run resulting in injury and death, and driving with a license suspended due to a prior DUI conviction.
Miranda continued his testimony under cross-examination on Monday.
He repeated much of his statements last week, stating that he smoked a marijuana "blunt" a few hours before the incident and that he wasn't still "high" when it occurred.
Miranda described the street as "pitch black" the night of the incident and that he didn't see a person waving hands at him to stop as well as that he would have seen that person if the person hadn't been wearing dark clothing.
Miranda pulled over after the incident and then left for more than 20 minutes before he returned to the scene.
Deputy District Attorney Angela McNulty questioned him over a series of phone calls and a text that occurred during that time. Miranda said that while his mother told him to return to the scene, it was something he was already planning to do.
He also said that he was "in shock" after the incident occurred and that he didn't recall many details McNulty questioned him over.
Miranda further repeated that he knows he is not impaired while driving under the influence of marijuana, based on his own personal experience from smoking marijuana for years.
At one point during Monday's testimony, Miranda made a statement to the effect that it was his car that hit them, it wasn't his fault, and it was an accident.
Loved ones of the deceased were emotional during the testimony, and at this point, some squeezed their eyes shut and turned their heads away.
Several witnesses were recalled to the stand after Miranda's testimony and by early afternoon, the attorneys rested their cases.
Miranda was previously convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol twice and has said he didn't feel the judge's admonishment to not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs didn't apply to marijuana, due to his personal belief that marijuana isn't a drug.
In California, a person can be convicted of second-degree murder for killing someone in an accident while driving under the influence, known as a "Watson Murder," based on the idea of implied malice: that if they were previously convicted of driving under the influence, they would be aware of the danger it poses and have a conscious disregard for human life.
If convicted of all the charges, Miranda faces 34 years to life in prison and an additional six months in the Monterey County Jail, according to past reports.
Miranda has been held on $2.4 million bail and has also pleaded guilty to his role in a fight at the Monterey County Jail. He has not been sentenced for that felony yet.
The case will return for continued jury instruction and closing arguments at 1 p.m. on Tuesday. The jury won't deliberate Wednesday due to a scheduling conflict for a juror.

The Fourth Online Maternity Clothing Shop
A Canadian maternity wear brand based out of Edmonton, Alberta, The Fourth is short for the "fourth trimester," the 12-week postpartum period after women gives birth and transition into motherhood. As a mom of three, founder Iris Toon wanted to design maternity wear clothing that fit her petite body, would be versatile enough to last beyond pregnancy, and matched her preference for a minimalist aesthetic.
Paige Nursing Tank (Grey) from The Fourth Maternity Shop
Opening The Fourth helped Iris overcome her postpartum anxiety (PPA), which is a sometimes-stigamatized and not-talked-about-enough condition that affects approximately 10% of new moms. In her own dealings with PPA, a personal journey which Iris shares on The Fourth blog, she reveals how after having three kids, she felt like she had lost her own identity, forgetting about herself, what she loved, and what brought her joy. With the guidance of a counsellor, she began to make small and simple changes in her life, like making more time for self-care (beginning with a Sephora splurge on skincare products!), waking up early to enjoy a mug of coffee with no interruptions, and watching romantic comedies which made her laugh.
According to Iris, in hindsight, starting her own business with The Fourth was one of the biggest blessings which came from her PPA, and provided her with a creative outlet to connect with other moms and support their needs.
The Fourth online maternity wear shop launched in April 2020 (yes, in the midst of a pandemic), carrying maternity, nursing and lifestyle apparel pieces, with almost everything designed in Canada.
The cuts and colours in The Fourth's curated collection are versatile enough to be mixed-and-matched and worn over and over again. Think: oversized cardigans, cute dresses with simple patterns, tees and blouses which double as nursing tops, and hoodies and longsleeves. Most of the pieces are one size, with details on the website suggesting approximate fit. Many of her maternity and nursing pieces also cross-over into her 'lifestyle' collection, meaning the fit and cuts of The Fourth pieces are versatile enough to take you through to the fourth trimester.
If you're a fan of a minimalist aesthetic and neutral colour palettes for pieces that'll last you from the first to "fourth" trimester, check out The Fouth at the-fourth.ca.

Once a reel hits twelve symbols, it will transform into a Queen Reel where extra red queen and wild symbols will be added.

Government to List Hospitals That Falter in Heart Attack Care
In a dramatic bid to improve hospital performance, the government plans to post a consumer-friendly comparison of hospitals' heart attack and heart failure death rates on the Internet.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched a dry run of the program in December by telling nearly 4,000 hospitals how their 30-day death rates for 2003 compare with the national Medicare death rates of 17.8% for heart attacks and 11.6% for heart failure.
"If we could get the higher-mortality hospitals to achieve the performance of lower-mortality hospitals, we could save probably 10,000 or more lives a year," says Harlan Krumholz of Yale University, who with colleagues at Yale and Harvard developed the statistical methods used in the analysis.
Experts say 30-day death rates offer a more reliable index of a hospital's performance than inpatient deaths and don't reward hospitals that transfer or discharge patients before death.
"The main purpose of all this is to improve quality," says Michael Rapp of CMS. "If I'm running a hospital and see that I fall in a category that's worse than 98% of hospitals, that's going to grab my attention. I'd look to see if we can improve."
Consumers will gain access to the results of the analysis in June, when the agency posts data from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 on a Medicare website called Hospital Compare, hospitalcompare.hhs.gov. Rather than directly posting hospitals' death rates, the site will simply report whether a hospital performs better, worse or on par with the national average.
Hospital Compare now offers a rundown of hospitals' diligence in providing the best therapies for heart disease and other conditions, based on the available scientific evidence.
These so-called performance measures, set out first in the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, can reassure consumers that doctors at their local hospital are following treatment guidelines, but they don't reveal how patients do after they leave the hospital.
Some hospital administrators, though they support the goal, say the statistics may be misleading.
"It clearly needs to be done, but I'm not sure 30-day mortality is the right measure," says Gary Noskin of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. "A patient could have a heart attack (and be treated successfully) and get hit by a bus after he leaves the hospital."
Medicare officials counter that the statistical methods used in the analyses highlight patterns of care, good or bad, not individual cases. The approach was approved by the National Quality Forum, a consortium of professional organizations, businesses, consumer groups, hospital chains and health plans.
"It's very clear that the public is unhappy with the quality of care that's been delivered," says Thomas Balcezak, associate chief of staff in charge of quality at Yale-New Haven Hospital. "This offers a new level of transparency by CMS, a way to show the public how care is being delivered across the U.S., a new opportunity to improve care."

The real star of this season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's crumbling marriage.
"Kim is having a really, really difficult time holding it together right now!" an insider close to the family exclusively revealed to Radar.
"She seems absolutely miserable and would like nothing more than to turn this around," the insider said, "but at this point it seems like she is just hopeless."
While KUWTK will capture a lot of the drama, off-camera the couple is even worse. "The two of them are constantly fighting behind closed doors and she just seems tired of playing this charade with him," the source confessed.
She's tried to turn to her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, but they "are at a loss for words!" according to the source. "Kim seems trapped and no one knows what to say because she wanted this marriage so bad."
Do you think Kim should leave Kanye? Let us know in the comments!

The Uncertain Future of Genocide Denial Laws in the European Union
By Gorton, Sean
In 2011, Gyorgy Nagy was arrested at a rally in Hungary for holding a banner that read, "The Shoah [Holocaust] did not happen." In early 2013, Nagy became the first person to be convicted under the 2010 Hungarian Holocaust denial law, which makes " 'denying, questioning, or making light of the Holocaust' illegal."1 Nagy was sentenced to eighteen months in prison, which was suspended for three years, and probation.2 In addition, Nagy must visit either Budapest's Holocaust memorial museum, Auschwitz, or Yad Vashem, which is Israel's memorial to Jewish victims of the Holocaust in Jerusalem, and record his observations.3
Genocide was first recognized as a crime by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which was ratified on December 9, 1948.4 Article 2 of the convention defines genocide as follows:
[A]ny of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.5
Gregory Stanton, President of Genocide Watch, has divided genocide into eight distinct stages.6 These eight stages include: classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination, and denial,7 the last of which will be the focus of this Note. Stanton argues that denial extends the crime of genocide to future generations of survivors because it is a continuation of the intent to destroy the group.8 Genocide denial can take a number of different forms, including, but not limited to, denying that there were any mass killing at all or questioning and minimizing the number of victims.9 In addition, genocide deniers employ a number of different tactics, including: claiming that the deaths were caused by famine, migration, or disease, blaming out-of-control militias for the killings, casting the victims as disloyal insurgents during wartime, claiming that the dead were victims of a civil war, and attempting to demonstrate that the deniers' group also suffered huge losses during the "conflict," which attempts to cloak and legitimize the genocide as selfdefense.10
Genocide denial has been recognized as a serious problem in a number of Western countries;11 however, there is a wide degree of variation in how these countries approach genocide denial from a legal standpoint.12 For example, in the United States, any attempt to restrict the freedom of speech is generally met with strong opposition, and the hope is that the free exchange of ideas will expose genocide deniers as liars and racists.13 In other words, harmful speech is combated, and hopefully defeated, with more speech.14 While this approach is appealing to the United States, other countries employ different methodologies, including the use of criminal sanctions.15 The seriousness of genocide as a crime, coupled with the fact that genocide denial extends the genocide to surviving generations,16 has prompted a number of E.U. member states to take affirmative and, in some cases, drastic steps to eradicate genocide denial.17 Austria,18 Belgium,19 the Czech Republic,20 France,21 Germany,22 Hungary,23 Luxembourg,24 Poland,25 Romania,26 Slovakia,27 Slovenia,28 and Switzerland29 have all criminalized genocide denial to a certain extent, and the punishments for violating a country's respective genocide denial laws range from a modest fine to a lengthy prison sentence.30 In addition, on a supranational level, the European Parliament has passed legislation to address the issue. The most recent piece of legislation regarding genocide denial is the 2008 Framework Decision on combating racism and xenophobia (2008 Framework Decision), which requires all member states to criminalize genocide denial in certain contexts. …

Foles was set to earn a $1 million incentive for giving the Eagles a chance to play in the postseason and if he played 33 percent of the team's plays, but the star player only ended up playing 32 percent of the team's snaps because a rib injury ended his day early.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles led the defending champions back to the playoffs Sunday, defeating the Washington Redskins 24-0.
Foles was set to earn a $1 million incentive for giving the Eagles a chance to play in the postseason and if he played 33 percent of the team's plays. Unfortunately, Foles only ended up playing 32 percent of the team's snaps because a rib injury ended his day early, according to ESPN.
Foles was 28-of-33 with 221 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the win. He was replaced by Nate Sudfeld.
Philadelphia will look to recreate some of the magic from last season. Their first playoff game is next week against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Foles will find out more about his ribs injury Monday, according to the Press of Atlantic City.

No Man's Sky: Release Date in the Dark, Likely to Coincide with Morpheus, And More Details
Hello Games had revealed snippets about No Man's Sky at the E3 on June 15 and then everything is quiet on that front again. It is believed that the secrecy is because Hello Games wants the interest in the upcoming game to increase and hence they are not giving out any information to the fans.
Latinos Post has revealed that new information about No Man's Sky is going to be revealed at the upcoming New Yorker Festival in October. iDigital Times has informed that Hello Games isn't keeping the release date of No Man's Sky a secret. The release date hasn't been finalized yet since the game is still in development.
What Hello Games is doing is, they are showing the fans how far No Man's Sky has evolved since the time it was first developed. Fans have agreed to this and have also confirmed that the gameplay that they have seen so far is surely very promising.
The New Yorker Magazine had a very elaborate and long article on No Man's Sky at the beginning of this year by Raffi Khatchadourian. This article stated that the gameplay for No Man's Sky was developed by a team of almost 12 members.
Each of these individuals are brilliant in coding lines and creating mathematical rules that helps deduce the age and the arrangement of celestial objects like planets, moon, stars and asteroid can be understood.
The team of coders is head by Sean Murray, who had started his career in Electronic Arts and then moved out of the company to create Hello Games along with three other friends. They believed that having a small team is better than having a large team.
The first game that Hello Games released was Joe Danger, which gained positive reviews from players and critics alike. The game had a great gameplay and the plot of full of humor. The game, however, lost its charm in comparison to the hugely successful No Man's Sky.
No Man's Sky is rumored to have an astounding number of planets, roughly 18 quintillion of them, each with their unique features and gameplay. The gamers are convinced that there is not going to be any player who can ever finish the game in their lifetime. The gameplay will require the players to start on one planet with the goal to reach the center of the universe.
Although Game Spot has reported that No Man's Sky is going to be featured in The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the release date of the game is still not stated anywhere and the developers have been ever elusive about this point.
Design & Trend will offer some good news for the fans of No Man's Sky with their report that Hello Games' Sean Murray is going to be hosting a 90 mins conversation about the upcoming game and it is likely that he will broach the topic of the release date for the highly anticipated game.
Fans are rushing to get tickets for the October 3rd event since they want to be there to witness any new developments that are being made in their favorite No Man's Sky.
There are some speculations that No Man's Sky is going to launch the game to coincide the release with the release of Sony's Project Morpheus. Some are of the opinion that the game is going to be perfect for the VR headset.

Q: Should my Backbone defaults be an object or a function? I have been reading and following several Backbone.js tutorials and when it comes to defaults for the model people seem to do it one of two ways.
First Way - Defaults are an object
The first way is that defaults are declared as an object, for example;
my_model = Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults: {
        title: 'Default Title'
    }
});

This makes most sense to me, I immediately know that the defaults is an object and it works fine.
Second Way - Defaults are a function
The second way I have seen this is is that defaults are declared as a function, for example;
my_model = Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults: function() {
        return {
            title: 'Default Title'
        }
    }
});

This function obviously ends up returning an object, and to me makes little sense (unless you wanted to pass something into the function eventually.
My Question
My question is, is there a benefit to using one over the other assuming that you will not be passing any parameters using the function way. My feeling is that there may be a minuscule overhead from having the anonymous function be called but would love a more informed opinion.

A:
Remember that in JavaScript, objects are passed by reference, so if you include an object as a default value, it will be shared among all instances. Defaults containing objects passed by reference should be defined using a function if you do not wish to share objects between all instances

https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/issues/1145
Pretty much sums it up. The function method is only recommended when you have object attributes.

A: I think there are not any performance difference between the 2 techniques you have described. The way the defaults is resolved (= function called or just the object returned) is decided by this line in underscore.js:
return _.isFunction(value) ? value.call(object) : value;

As for the benefits. The regular object offers a static way of declaring the model defaults. You declare them when extending and thats it, they won't change. The function on the other hand provides you with the ability to change the model defaults of the fly without re-creating the whole class, by modifying the object the function is supposed to return.

A: Another reason to use a function instead of an object is if one of your defaults depends on a method in the model.
e.g.
defaults: function() {
    return {
        title: this.getTitle()
    }
