can i avoid blocking clients who are connected on my RTMP server?

A: Move this rule:
# Allow any related traffic coming back to the server in. i moved it here to drop the attacker current connectivety as you told me
#
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -s $UNIVERSE -d $EXTIP1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

To way earlier, say after the ICMP stuff.
Add a new rule ACCEPTing your port 1935 stuff immediately after that. You didn't specify tcp or udp. I'll do tcp:
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -p tcp --dport 1935 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

This will let anybody try to make a new connection to your 1935 port. If you want to prevent people on the bad guy list then put this new rule in between the bad guy check and the conn limit check, like so:
#allow TcpPorts
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -m recent --update --hitcount 1 --seconds 432000 --name BADGUY_CONN -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -p tcp --dport 1935 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -d $EXTIP1 -p tcp -m connlimit --connlimit-above $EXTIMESENTER -j add-to-connlimit-list

Logo Launch, Rebrand, and Celebrating 25 Years!
What a year for the Trust!
Term 1 saw the Impact Facilitators working with four schools whose students completed a range of exciting projects. Each group had a unique range of interests from water conservation, to used tyre playgrounds, to local food production.
Inglewood primary had a conservation focus choosing to support their native trail area along the school's river boundary. The group was visited by guest speakers from the TRC and Rotokare Reserve to help identify the native plants and weeds, as well as birds and reptiles in the area. They identified and removed a patch of wild garlic, made up bird boxes from recycled wood to attract in birds, and created signs identifying native birds in the area.
Norfolk Primary decided on an upcycling project after researching the impact of used tyres on the environment, They created a climbing wall out of used tyres for their school to enjoy, which was installed on the side of a playground fort. To raise awareness in their community about the issue with used tyres the students then painted a sign about their project for all to see.
Egmont Village Primary students became aware of water conservation challenges when New Plymouth's water pipe was damaged in February. They decided to educate their community on the importance of saving water and the actions people can take by creating a video. The video was a hit with the head of the water treatment plant at NPDC who visited the students to talk about the local water supply. The students also helped their school by installing a recycled 1000 litre water tank to collect rain water for use on the school vegetable garden.
Spotswood College students wanted to support the school community by providing the food tech room with fresh, local, package free fruit. To do this they started an orchard, researching what fruit the food tech classes could use and what varieties of fruit could be planted in autumn. The trees they planted will be added to by later groups with support of the horticulture teacher.
As always, we are inspired by the creative ideas and actions of the youth we work with who are undertaking real world and positive environmental actions. A big thank you to TRC, NPDC and Rotakare Trust for supporting the groups with guest speakers and to Tricky Trees Specialists for providing free mulch for the Spotswood orchard.
Coming up in Term 2 we will be working with the NPBHS Green Team, Patea Area School, Hawera Intermediate and Devon Intermediate.
Kati Freeman, the GM of Sustainable Taranaki is interviewed by Charlotte Littlewood on the Hokonui Breakfast Show where she discusses the rebrand and new logo for Sustainable Taranaki, formerly known as the Taranaki Environmental Education Trust publicly.
Kati has impressive credentials and is a skilled communicator who is leading the way for Sustainable Taranaki supported by a great team of Trustees and coordinators.

Have a read of "Sustainability pioneers launch new name" by Christine Walsh.
In the first school term the Impact team have been working with groups of youth throughout the region. Each group has been really creative in researching sustainability projects in which they can take positive action on.
Inglewood Primary have a beautiful forested area along a stream on the edge of their property. The Impact team want to identify what native trees, bird life and reptiles are in the area and make educational signs to share this with their community. They are also planning to take out weeds in the area and plant more native trees.
Norfolk Primary are currently in the early stages of working towards an upcycling project, using waste materials to create something for the school.
Egmont Village Primary students are interested in water conservation, with the school being on rain water supply for their drinking water. They are researching how they can collect rainwater for their school vegetable garden. They are are looking to make a short documentary film to educate their community about how to save water.
Spotwood College are in the early stages of designing an orchard space near the boundary with Spotswod Primary. Their idea is to involve both schools in learning about growing your own produce.
In Term 4 last year, Highlands Intermediate students focused on growing fruit trees to address the issue of food miles, the resulting environmental impact, and the need in the community to provide free healthy food. The students investigated possible sites, considering water, sun, wind and access. Following this, it was decided that the current school vege garden was the area they would like to develop further. They surveyed the student body's preferences for fruit, and from within this looked at what trees are suitable to plant at in late spring. They selected citrus and passion fruit, and developed a longer term plan along side this to continue planting next winter when pip and stone fruits can be planted.
Year 8 students at Coastal School focused on two areas of interest, growing local food and undertaking an upcycling project. The orchard group investigated possible sites, considering water, sun, wind and access. Following this it was decided that the current school orchard was well placed and they would like to extend this.
"Working with Erin and Laine from Impact was transformational in the way I look at environmental education at Highlands Intermediate. Their process highly engaged the students, and had a successful project outcome. Great education, and great action." Pat Swason, Highlands Intermediate.
Being aware that the current New Plymouth landfill is due to close soon, the upcycling group wanted to make some outside furniture out of waste materials otherwise destined for landfill. They deconstructed pallets and created a table, then created seats out of old tyres and pillows. After discussing where they would like to place their creation it was decided to donate it to the local daycare centre, painting the top in chalkboard paint so that the children could make draw on the table. The table and chairs were then taken down to the daycare centre and donated to the children, where they spoke about their project to staff and children.
IMPACT an invitation to step up, get involved, and contribute to an environmentally sustainable world.
Term 4 has seen the Impact team working with Coastal School, Oakura and Omata Primary's and Highlands Intermediate on a range of sustainability initiatives – upcycling, orchard planting, beach clean-ups and increasing biodiversity.
Oakura school's group decided to work within their Enviro Centre, an outdoor area that has been planted with natives and fruit trees around 5 years ago. The Enviro Centre also provides outdoor learning spaces for the school. After brainstorming ideas, they chose to work to enhance the bird-life in the centre; and therefore, researched and built bird boxes that are suitable to native birds, such as tuis and bell birds. They also built a bird feeding station to encourage birds into the space. The youth look forward to watching the birds flourish in their newly adapted natural habitat.
After looking into a range of environmental impacts, the students at Omata school were inspired to reduce the rubbish in the area. They first undertook a school liter clean up and audit to investigate what types of wastes were being created at the school. Following this, they organised a beach clean up at their local Tapuae beach. Inspired by Lorella Doherty of Rethinking Plastic Revolution and the artwork she has created from plastics up-cycled from our beaches, the students then created an ocean themed artwork to present to the school to educate the younger students about the impact of littering and how it affects the ocean environment. Great work Omata!

Bio: Pauline Walton is a mature third-year PhD computational chemistry student. After 15 years in commercial computation she stopped to bring up her two children in Norwich, and in 2012 she began a scientific Access course. She graduated from UEA in 2015 and was offered this EPSRC-funded opportunity to study biological membranes using computational methods.
I'm Pauline Walton and I'm a computational chemist.
Well I'm looking at biological membranes and I'm looking at drugs and I'm looking at them in great resolution. When you're developing drugs you need to do experiments to find out what's happening and you can't necessarily see all of what's going on in the membrane and by being able to simulate membranes and drugs I can get better resolution to predict what is probably going on.
What fascinates you about this area?
There's just so much to know, you never come to the end of knowing it's brilliant.
What do you love about being a research student?
Yeah I love the freedom that you have to work when you want to and how you want to and when you've come across something that's really interesting you can very often pursue that and when you do and it comes out - that's just so good.
My favourite moment was when I had a stack of molecules and one was trying to join the stack and it suddenly converted into a butterfly and then joined the top, it was great.
I am a mature graduate student with a young-adult family so my life is split between home and study. Before cycling to work I take the dog for a walk in Eaton Park near the University and I use this time to consider my plan for the day. Like other PhD students, I find my research intellectually challenging and this exercise is essential to keep me physically and mentally fit.
My work is all computer-based modelling so I work in a desk-room rather than a lab. The morning is usually spent preparing simulations, making sense of results or considering ways to improve my system model. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Council sponsors me to simulate biomembrane-drug interactions which can be probed for dynamic behaviour. The theoretical models incorporate experimental data and can help to predict and explain complex atomic interactions.
During the morning coffee break I review work in progress and produce a realistic working plan for the afternoon. My work involves lots of planning and troubleshooting. For example, to quantify structural features in my model, I need to identify the contributing atoms and then find the best way to the extract geometric data. As a non-programmer this means I must be able to recognise the relevance of particular software tools and apply them correctly.
Even after 18 months the software tools are still quite new to me and after many repetitions, when a procedure eventually produces good and reliable results, I need to write it out and file it as a master. This is likely to come in useful for later work and in future supervision of undergraduate projects.
Each week I have a meeting with my PI where I am now starting to present results. This time is extremely helpful and ensures that my research will be productive and novel. I am also grateful for the good humour and experience of my colleagues in the desk-room, especially when challenges seem overwhelming.
This coffee break is also a chance to sit down – when I started my PhD I asked for a "standing desk" which encourages me to move around regularly and to recognise when I need a break. This second break is usually short and aimed at setting a small target for the rest of the day.
This target might be to develop a good image to demonstrate an interesting result and often identifies the need for more work. I like to end the afternoon on a little "win", even if it is only noting that a procedure failed. Such small failures become tasks to be addressed which helps me keep positive.
Once home I initially focus on reconnecting with the family and then later I usually do some background reading. A successful day is when there has been progress of any kind.

Q: Angular guard based on two observables I'm trying to do an "AdminGuard", that should be based on two things:

*

*Is the user logged in?

*Does the user have admin rights?

I've an AuthService that provides two Observable.
I've done the following:
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class IsAdminGuard implements CanActivate {
  constructor(private auth: AuthService, private router: Router) { }

  canActivate(
    next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
    state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable<boolean | UrlTree> {
      console.log(this.auth)

      return combineLatest([this.auth.isLoggedIn, this.auth.isAdmin]).pipe(
        take(1),
        map((authInfo) => {
          console.log(authInfo)
          if (!authInfo[0]) {
            console.error('Access denied - Unauthorized')
            return this.router.parseUrl('/auth/');
          } else if (!authInfo[1]) {
            console.error('Access denied - Admin only')
            return this.router.parseUrl('/auth/unauthorized');
          } else {
            return true;
          }
        })
      );
  }

}

the console.log(this.auth) gets called and seems to have valid values, but the second console.log never gets called and my component isn't loaded.
If I remove the guard from my route:
  {
    path: 'admin',
    component: AdminComponent,
    //canActivate: [IsAdminGuard],
  }

it works, so I'm pretty sure it's the IsAdminGuard that doesn't work.
I'm also displaying the some other things based on the same boolean values(some *ngIf="authService.IsLoggedIn | async" which are working, so I don't really understand what I messed up?
EDIT
Here is how I update the different values of the  IsLoggedIn/IsAdmin/IsUser, in my AuthService:
 constructor(public afAuth: AngularFireAuth, public router: Router, private afStore: AngularFirestore) {
    this.afAuth.authState.subscribe(async user => {
      console.log('handling auth')
      if (this._roleSubscription) {
        this._roleSubscription.unsubscribe();
        this._roleSubscription = undefined;
      }
      if (user) {
        this._user.next(user);
        this._isLoggedIn.next(true);
        this._roleSubscription = this.afStore.doc<Roles>(`roles/${user.uid}`).valueChanges().subscribe(role => {
          console.log('updating roles', role)
          if (role) {
            this._isAdmin.next(role.admin == true)
            this._isUser.next(role.admin == true || role.user == true);//Admin have also an heart, they are users too!
          } else {
            this._isAdmin.next(false);
            this._isUser.next(false);
          }
        });
      } else {
        this._user.next(undefined);
        this._isLoggedIn.next(false);
        this._isAdmin.next(false);
        this._isUser.next(false);
        await this.router.navigate(['/auth']);
      }
      console.log('values updated')
    })
  }

A: You have to use a ReplaySubject which emits the latest value. A subject only emits when there is an active subscription, and a BehaviorSubject always emits as it starts with an initial value
readonly _isLoggedIn = new ReplaySubject<boolean>(1);
readonly _isAdmin = new ReplaySubject<boolean>(1);

The house is on a very difficult build site where there is a narrow building footprint all on granite rock. The side of the house is built entirely over 1 large granite rock in a remote area with harsh winter weather!
The house is a 2 story high pitched roof long and narrow large deck view of the lake with a bump-out entry room. The only home on Seagull Lake. The other lakeside inhabitants are a pack of wolves!
Arno at Builders Commonwealth was able to build where other contractors wouldn't.
The Kitchen cabinetery work is beautiful. Birch cabinetry and trim throughout the house. Custom-built tv stand and will hire Builders to make a custom computer desk to match!
There is a small office and utility room, guest bathroom and laundry room, a big and beautiful master bedroom with 2 big closets. A larger, handicapped accessible bathroom downstairs.
Lofted upstairs bunkbed with a view of the lake.
To build a rustic-feeling home on a difficult build site adding to a floorplan already begun. This was a pre-retirement home project.
The project timeline was 9 months. Builders Commonwealth is not afraid to do anything, as though they enjoy the challenge!
Arno was really really good at figuring out what my tastes are. I entrusted him with choosing finishing details of project because of his sensitivity to style.
Arno has GREAT attention to details. For example, how the doors open. A good attic that was a waste of space was instead built out as storage rooms. Arno is sensitive to clients preferences and style. They have been really good about coming back to make additional changes—but not a lot needed to be done!
Builders Commonwealth is a design/build firm, with in-house architecture and a large custom cabinet facility. Our general construction work includes commercial and residential buildings. Recent commercial projects include the new Whole Foods Coop in Grand Marais, Minn and the renovation of the Duluth Whole Foods Coop. Our residential work includes both renovation/restoration projects, as well as new construction. We encourage our customers to incorporate energy conservation and solar options. In 1981 we received one of five national awards to build a passive solar demonstration project. Recently, we constructed an Extreme Makeover residence in South Range, Wisconsin that incorporated energy conservation, active solar and green building practices.


This Sagewood Farm rustic chic wedding inspiration was brought to life using ideas and styles from the venue itself, which by the way, was named one of the top barn venues in the world.
The team of vendors who created this lovely shoot, styled by She's Over the Moon with Haley Photography behind the lens, wanted to showcase a modern, industrial chic, and ethereal feel to their inspiration. I say job well done. Also, they featured three wedding dresses, one ballgown and a backless lace dress from Essense of Australia, and a metallic cocktail dress by Sorella Vita. Lovely indeed!
Swooning over that sparkly dress!
Love that this editorial gives barn weddings a fresh new look!
Amazing details – love all the greenery. And that cake!

Sports Asian Games: South Koreans banned from waving North's flag
Asian Games: South Koreans banned from waving North's flag
Wednesday, September 17, 2014 11:50 Email Print

South Koreans are banned from carrying North Korean flags into Asian Games venues and anyone waving one at an event could face arrest, games organisers said Tuesday (Sep 16).
Under South Korea's strict National Security Law, its citizens are banned from activities deemed to be praising or sympathising with the North. "We've been ordered to check at security screening if anyone is carrying North Korean flags into a venue, and confiscate them immediately," said an organising committee spokesman.
North Korea's presence has been one of the main talking points in the build-up to the Asian Games, which officially open in the South Korean port city of Incheon on Friday. Organisers have removed all national flags from venue neighbourhoods after anti-Pyongyang activists protested about having the North Korean emblem flying among them.
The North Korean flag is displayed along with other national flags at the official venues, and North Korean delegation members can bring their flags to events. But any South Korean who smuggles a flag into a venue and waves it with a "strong, clear intention" will be handed over to law enforcement, the spokesman said.
Non-South Korean nationals would also be "strongly urged" not to carry North Korean flags to the events. Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) rules dictate that national flags should be "freely flown" in all stadiums and the areas nearby. "Our decision may be against the OCA rule technically, but you can't completely rule out the political situation and public mentality in South Korea," the spokesman said.
South and North Korea technically remain at war because the 1950-53 Korean conflict was concluded with a ceasefire rather than a peace treaty. The North's participation in the Incheon Asiad was only confirmed after months of tortuous, heated negotiations that coincided with a spike in military tension on the peninsula. In the end it decided to send a 273-member delegation of athletes, coaches and officials.
On Monday, a number of North Korean delegates waved the national colours as their men beat China 3-0 in the football competition, which is already underway. Many South Korean spectators cheered on the North, but waved "unification flags" which are tolerated by the Seoul authorities.
The flag - a blue silhouette of the Korean peninsula against a white background - was first used in 1991 when the two countries competed as a single team in the World Table Tennis Championships. The two Koreas also marched together at opening ceremonies for the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, the 2006 Winter Olympics and the 2006 Asian Games in Doha.

You – The Second Season and Third Season Revealed!
Netflix's You has been renewed for a second season. Deadline Hollywood reported the renewal on December 19. A review of the show was published by Samantha Highfill and Jean Bentley. The two stars starred as Sera Gamble and Dana DeHaan. You is an introspective series, about a person's life. Read on to learn more about the show. In this You review, we'll take a closer look at the cast.
The show's star Sera Gamble was recently seen tweeting about the last day of shooting season three. Her tweets were accompanied by a message for her fans. She wrote: "There's still a lot of work left to do!" She later added, "The show is still in its early stages, so I'm not worried about a fourth season." The series premiered in the fall of 2017 on Lifetime, and it's already available on Netflix.
You is returning for a second season. Michaellon and Rivera recently wrote reviews for the second season. We hope you enjoy the new episodes. We wish you the best of luck. You, the Netflix show, has a great future ahead. The characters are fun and relatable. You won't want to miss any more! You can't wait to see what happens in the third season! YOU – The First Season and Second
YouNetflix tweeted that the show will return for season two. In other news, Samantha Highfill reported that production will begin in November 2020. Similarly, Nellie Andreeva tweeted that the series will return on December 31, 2020. However, there's nothing concrete yet. But this is a very exciting time for YOU fans! You can't miss this critically acclaimed comedy! And if you've missed the first season, there's no need to worry. The series has become popular on Netflix!
YouNetflix has a new season coming out. The show will feature three new episodes. We'll update you on the release date and the cast. Currently, we're not sure when season three will debut. But we know the cast and creators of the show. It's a good idea to watch it in its first year, if you're a fan of the show. If you're not a fan yet, don't worry: you will be back in the next season. We'll see if the show comes out in the second season.
You was ignored on Lifetime, but now that it's on Netflix, it's becoming an instant sensation. The cast is all atypical, with a lot of diversity. The series is a unique and powerful show that will change the way we view television. With an original, groundbreaking storyline, the series is one of the most influential shows of all time. You'll be a part of the next generation of Hollywood. And you'll be a better person for it.

Also known as.....Hebereke no Pea Pea Wōzu.
This game was supposed to come out for the Neo-Geo.
To quote some dude on Hardcoregaming101;
"The objective apparently was to move the characters around the board to match pairs of identical tiles a la Shanghai, and Sunsoft already produced several games like that, having trademarked the name in Japan and all that."
No one knows why it was cancelled, but it was allegedly unfinished, even lacking an ending!
An prototype was supposedly found by some dude, but it was damaged in a flood, and the only remnant is some magazine and flyer found in 2003.
From what we see here, the game was going to have pre-rendered graphics.
Also, an hipster Hebe.

That's an interesting game project you are showing us here... maybe you could write an article about it on the Wiki!
Thanks for sharing it, Dumi!
You know, it's funny, because Hebereke was mentioned the other day on the Wiki...
It's about the game Yeah Yeah Beebiss I, a game that was only mentioned in a mail order service in a magazine, back in 1989. (click link)
Someone in the comments said that this game is actually an American port of Hebereke on NES (Ufouria in Europe). The game was never officially released in the USA then. He said he didn't have his copy anymore, so he couldn't prove it, but he could recognize it.
However, the game was released in Japan in 1991... and this magazine is from 1989...
However, Hebereke does look like the kind of game you'd give a name as silly as Yeah Yeah Beebiss...
What are your opinions on it, Dumi? Think this Beebiss is Hebereke?

Yes, I think it was an incarnation of sorts, because I can imagine Beebiss as a game about a alien named Beebiss, who has to get home after being stranded on a planet.
I can imagine Beebiss looking like this:

Envisioning Asia
On Location, Travel, and the Cinematic Geography of U.S. Orientalism
Jeanette Roan
Film provides a window into American culture and its attitudes toward Asia of the first half of the 20th century
The birth of cinema coincides with the beginnings of U.S. expansion overseas, and the classic Hollywood era coincides with the rise of the United States as a global superpower. In Envisioning Asia, Jeanette Roan argues that throughout this period, the cinema's function as a form of virtual travel, coupled with its purported "authenticity," served to advance America's shifting interests in Asia. Its ability to fulfill this imperial role depended, however, not only on the cinematic representations themselves but on the marketing of the films' production histories---and, in particular, their use of Asian locations. Roan demonstrates this point in relation to a wide range of productions, offering an engaging and useful survey of a largely neglected body of film. Not only that, by focusing on the material practices involved in shooting films on location---that is, the actual travels, negotiations, and labor of making a film---she moves beyond formal analysis to produce a richly detailed history of American interests, attitudes, and cultural practices during the first half of the twentieth century.
"Whereas some other scholars read selected films mainly to illustrate political arguments, Roan never loses sight of the particularities of film as a distinctive cultural form and practice. Her drive to see 'cinema as a mechanism of American orientalism' results in not just a textual analysis of these films, but also a history of their material production and distribution."
---Josephine Lee, University of Minnesota
"Envisioning Asia offers an exciting new contribution to our understandings of the historical developments of American Orientalism. Jeannette Roan deftly situates changing cinematic technologies within the context of U.S. imperial agendas in this richly nuanced analysis of 'shooting on location' in Asia in early 20th century American cinema."
---Wendy Kozol, Oberlin College
"Through her vivid illustration of the role of American cinema in the material, visual, and ideological production of Asia, Jeanette Roan takes the reader on a journey to Asia through a very different route from the virtual travel taken by the viewers of the films she discusses."
---Mari Yoshihara, University of Hawai'i at Manoa
Jeanette Roan is Adjunct Professor of Visual Studies at California College of the Arts and author of "Exotic Explorations: Travels to Asia and the Pacific in Early Cinema" in Re/collecting Early Asian America: Essays in Cultural History (2002).

Praise / Awards
"Roan argues that the knowledge of Asian such films produce reinforces US Orientalism, which continues to imagine Asia and America as distinct entities despite the historic realities of the mingling of cultures."
—Y Wu, University of California, Riverside
"Jeanette Roan emphasizes context itself, taking a cultural studies approach to her study of "on location" cinema. ... This novel approach contributes significantly by drawing attention to the need in film and media research for broad historicization and contextualizing
that makes clear the role of discourse in understanding changing historical and geopolitical conditions as related to shifting technological, rhetorical, and instrumental choices in cinema."

Vasilij Brandt (left) and Pascar Sivam clocking in with success (photo: Nordgreen)
June 25th, 2018 9:37 am| by Christian W
When Pascar Sivam and Vasilij Brandt sat down to come up with a strategy for their newly-founded watch startup, Nordgreen, crowdfunding was at the forefront. But they had no idea how much of an impact that would make!
Less than a year later, they found out.
A modest campaign goal of 100,000 kroner on Kickstarter ended up netting close to 1.5 million kroner – making it the biggest fashion crowdfunding campaign in Danish history, as well as a top 10 fashion Kickstarter brand in Europe.
"It was amazing. We spent six months getting it ready, with our focus being on design, marketing and operations, but there were a lot of things to consider – we didn't even know if the campaign would work" Brandt told CPH Post.
"We were pretty much in the dark as none of us had done a Kickstarter before. It ended up being a huge proof of concept and a strong indication that we were on the right track. We were led by designer input and a lot of customer feedback – a road I would recommend most to follow. It put us on a path to success."
Bursting through
Designed by the award-winning Danish designer Jakob Wagner, who has previously worked with the likes of Bang & Olufsen, the watches attracted customers from across the globe – they had sold over 2,100 watches to customers in 66 countries by the end of the campaign. Their success, however, has brought a number of challenges, including that of logistics.
According to Sivam, in order to keep up with the overwhelming demand, Nordgreen has set up 14 localised web-shops that cater to 60+ countries in eight languages and 12 currencies, while operating across multiple marketplaces, such as Amazon. Each territory is run by a central team in Copenhagen by locals, with only the best-of-the-best being recruited. Despite the right steps being taken, it's not easy breaking into an established market like the fashion watch category.
"It's definitely not easy as newcomers. It's very competitive online and rising up above the noise is difficult. We really thought about how we could bring a unique proposition to the market, settling on being a true Scandinavian brand. Danish design, yet affordable," said Sivam.
On the CSR clock
Nordgreen is particularly proud of its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) program, which allows pledgers to support one of three causes when purchasing a watch: clean water provisions in Africa, rain forest protection in South America, or youth education in India.
Customers can type in the serial numbers on the back of their watches to track the impact of their donation.
"We did a lot of research into what sustainable really means and how we could centralise it within the brand. We identified the three causes as having fundamental elements that were relevant to modern day, global issues. Additionally, with sustainability being at the core of Danish values, our CSR initiative is close to our hearts, so it means a lot to us to do it right," said Brandt.
The crowdfunding campaign included three watches: the 'Philosopher', the 'Infinity' and the 'Native', which all boasted a stainless steel case, diamond cut hands and an Italian leather strap. They are all assembled by hand, water resistant, and come with a two-year warranty.
Currently, the team and Jakob Wagner are working on a new Chronograph collection, a male focused range – although they also have a female-centered collection on their roadmap.

Acetate oxidation coupled to Fe(iii) reduction in hyperthermophilic microorganisms.
Tor JM1, Kashefi K, Lovley DR.
No hyperthermophilic microorganisms have previously been shown to anaerobically oxidize acetate, the key extracellular intermediate in the anaerobic oxidation of organic matter. Here we report that two hyperthermophiles, Ferroglobus placidus and "Geoglobus ahangari," grow at 85 degrees C by oxidizing acetate to carbon dioxide, with Fe(III) serving as the electron acceptor. These results demonstrate that acetate could potentially be metabolized within the hot microbial ecosystems in which hyperthermophiles predominate, rather than diffusing to cooler environments prior to degradation as has been previously proposed.
Growth of F. placidus at 85°C with acetate as an electron donor and poorly crystalline Fe(III) as an electron acceptor. The results are the means of triplicate cultures; error bars indicate the standard deviations.

Today we bring you the latest installment of "I Can Munsell That." The series where I get to Munsell something unusual for my own enjoyment and curiosity and share the results with you. In this edition we will be using the Munsell Soil Color Chart on a delicious snack that someone was so kind to make and contribute to the collective grad lounge snacks. What is it you ask? Maple, peanut, and bacon popcorn! You heard me right, that's a sweet and salty popcorn mix.
This lovely snack has four main parts to examine: plain popcorn, glazed popcorn, glazed peanuts, and bacon. Due to different amounts of the maple glaze, there are an array of hues on the glazed items, so I will focus on what shade seems the most prominent. Let's begin with the base of this, plain ol' popcorn. It fits quite well with 9.5/N (white) on the white page. The glazed popcorn is where the issues of hues begin. To me, it looks around 10YR 4/6 (dark yellowish brown), side note the color depicted in the image is slightly different due to lighting but I note it like I see it. Then we have the peanuts which get fairly close to 10YR 6/8 (brownish yellow), almost a perfect match. Finally, we have the bacon which doesn't have the best color match in a Munsell color chart (surprise!) but there's a decent match. This specific bacon bit was around 10R 3/4 (dusky red).
That's all for today folks. Thank you for indulging me in my nonsense. Need more silliness? Want to know more about the Munsell color system? Click here or here to be redirected to my older posts on the subject. Or you can click here and see where the inspiration for this series came from.

Q: Convert all Objects in Array to Array I have some values that grab off an API and store them into an array $data for insertion into my tables. However, I seem to have objects within the array $data, which seems kind of messy. Is it possible to convert all the contents of array $data into array elements?
PHP Code
$data['title'] = $item->ItemAttributes->Title;
$data['brand'] = $item->ItemAttributes->Brand;
$data['color'] = $item->ItemAttributes->Color;
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);

Output
stdClass Object
(
    [title] => stdClass Object
        (
            [0] => La Martina Polo Shirt Scotland Polo, Color: Black, Size: L
        )

    [brand] => stdClass Object
        (
            [0] => La Martina
        )

    [color] => stdClass Object
        (
            [0] => Black
        )

)

A: $array = get_object_vars($object);

If the members are protected or private, do it from inside the class.
If you aren't going to define a specific class, use reflection.

A: array get_object_vars ( object $object )

for more : http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php

A: I dont get you properly but if you do something like this
$data['title'] =(string)$item->ItemAttributes->Title;
$data['brand'] =(string)$item->ItemAttributes->Brand;
$data['color'] = (string)$item->ItemAttributes->Color;

.. might lead you to something like below:-
{'title'=>'some title','brand'=>,'color'=>'something'}

But I am not sure if that is what you want


Adsense is an online advertisement program by Google. Adsense reads the texts of the popular searches and display similar ads to website or blog you visit. The website or the blog owner gets money for every click on the displayed ads. Most of the people nowadays build their own website or blog to earn money from Google Ads. This is the most intellectual way of making money online. You have to write unique and valuable content to attract more and more visitors to your website. Higher the numbers of visitors or web traffic higher will be the earning.
Google adsense revenue calculator calculate the revenue automatically and deposit money to your account. Before understanding how Google adsense earnings calculator works there are some important terms in online advertising pricing Model, which are to be known first. A sample adsense earnings calculator is also given below for doing the maths.
ad impressions: These are ads displayed on your webpages. One page can have 2-3 or more ad impressions.
CPM: Cost Per 1000 Impressions: It is the cost of displaying 1000 ads on a website.
CTR: Click Through Rate:It is expressed in percentage, the number of ad clicks per 100 individual ad impressions.
CPA : Cost Per Acquisition: It is the cost divided by the number of acquisitions, an impression, click or form submit.
Suppose you have a website and you are getting 1000 page views per day for your website. You applied for google ads and given space for ads on your site web pages. Each pages you places 3 ads, therefore you have 3 x 1000 = 3000 ads impressions. It means you displayed 3000 ads on your website.
Now if your website is experiencing 5% CTR , i.e your page visitors click on average 5 ads per 100 ads impressions. Then your total click on ads per day will be 5 x 3000/100= 150.
Now, suppose advertisers fixes the cost per click for each ads i.e CPC is 0.2 . Then the total cost per day on ads will be 150 x 0.2 =30. So your income from google adsense is 30 /day.
Therefore the CTR and CPC are important parameter for estimating Adsense revenue. CTR depends upon the your website niche where as CPC depend upon the Advertisement types.
Page views and web traffic are easily obtained from the google analytics a beautiful product of Google inc.

Q: How does one formally define sampling from a probability distribution? Every introduction to probability that I have seen describes sampling from a distribution based on an intuitive notion of a fair coin flip.
I have never seen "fair coin flip" formally defined. Is the definition implied by the axioms of probability theory?
Is probability theory predicated on some notion of an atomic coin flip operation that is not further formalized?

A: Probability is formalized in terms of measure theory. One usually talks about a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)$. Here $\Omega$ is the set of all "outcomes," $\mathcal{F}$ is the set of all "events," and $P:\mathcal{F} \to [0,1]$ is a probability measure, i.e., given an event $E \in \mathcal{F}$, $P(E)$ is the probability of $E$. These satisfy all sorts of axioms which I won't get into. It's good to have a running example, so let's say $\Omega$ is the set of possible outcomes when a red and a green die are rolled, so
$$\Omega = \{(1,1),(1,2),\dots,(6,6)\}.$$
Now a random variable is defined as a function $X:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}$. For instance, $X$ might be the sum of the red and the green dice. Thus $X(a,b) = a+b$. Usually we do not use function notation for $X$ because we are not concerned with the particular value $X(a,b)$, but rather the many values that $X$ could take on, and the distribution of those values. $X$ induces a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$, namely if $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ then the measure of $A$ is $\mu(A) = P(X \in A)$.
This measure and the distribution of $X$ are completely captured by the distribution function $F(x)=P(X \leq x)$. In our example, $F(x)$ will be a step function. In general, distribution functions are nondecreasing, right-continuous, and have $\lim_{x \to -\infty}F(x)=0$ and $\lim_{x \to \infty}F(x)=1$. Moreover, every function with those properties is a distribution function.
I have just described how to go from a random variable to its distribution function, but we can go the other way. Namely, given a distribution, we can sample a random variable from it, by which we mean we choose a probability space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$ and a function $X:\Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfying $P(X \leq x) = F(x)$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$. It is not obvious that such a random variable must exist! But in fact one does provided you have a valid distribution function.

A: In probability parlance, it means you are analyzing independent, identically distributed random variables with a given distribution.
However, when you get into the realm of statistics, the whole business of designing sampling schemes becomes a high and complex art.  In the real world, the assumption that observations are independent (or identically distributed) can be a muddy one.


The 109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force in World War II, although it began to be partially replaced by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 from 1941. The Bf 109 scored more aircraft kills in World War II than any other aircraft.
Pilot and blurred propeller included.
This is a fairly detailed model with high resolution textures. You will be able to render close ups of the airplane.
For Poser (4 and up) and any application that can import obj or 3ds files.
The poser model has parts that you can pose using these control dials (limits are applied). You can of course also move/position these parts manually in other applications too.
All control dials are grouped to the "Body".
Pose sets for showing/hiding the pilot and for switching between blurred and non blurred propeller are included.

Then, the path of the file to be open should be built as above.
Your code does not show how you redefine File in order to make the loop working. You maybe have File = Dir before the loop end. If not, I added...


Madeleine Nightingale is her magician brother's assistant. They travel town-to-town performing as The Magic Nightingales, but her brother dreams of being on the stage in a fine London theater. Madeleine wants him to be happy, so when she hears a famous theater owner will attend a Faire to be held at Sheffield Priory, she knows it's their chance. She will make sure their show goes perfectly . . . even if she has to use a bit of the true magic that has been her secret gift since childhood.
Christopher Sheffield has arranged a Faire to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. But he has an ulterior motive. He wants his mother to receive his mistress Allegra so he can connect his life in London with his life in the country. Everything is going according to plan until he chances upon Madeleine Nightingale and her brother. Thoughts of Allegra fade when he draws Madeleine into his arms.
But Madeleine isn't the easy conquest he'd hoped she'd be. Is it love? Or is it magic? And what is it going to take for him to convince her that he's thoroughly fallen under her spell?
Award-winning author Jo Ann Ferguson lives in Nevada with her husband, children, and a fat cat. She is not sure which is most spoiled.
Thanks for everything, especially your friendship!
THE GIFT IS YOURS. Look.
The child stared into the cupped hands the woman held out to her. There is nothing there.
The woman frowned, her face becoming as lined as a map of the many miles she had traveled to get here to the child. Look more closely.
Do not seek with your eyes. They will betray you. Seek always with your heart.
The woman pressed her cupped hands against the child's thin chest. I can feel your heart from within you. You must heed it.
I hear its thump, but I do not know what it means.
Yes, you do. We have spoken of it before. The woman glanced at the fire burning in front of the small wagon where the child's family slept. The faded letters painted on the wagon's side were consumed by the darkness. To find a child possessing such a gift with the family who traveled in that wagon had been a great surprise. The child's parents would have been even more astonished if they learned of the child's gift. They must not, because they might try to put a halt to the lesson.
The woman's hands clenched with frustration. Fools! Did they think they could keep the child away from her? The child was ten years old, and it was time for her to grasp her destiny. The gift she had been given was both a blessing and a burden. The woman understood that as no one else could. The gift had been hers for so many years, even though it now was far weaker than the child's. Despite that, she was obligated to instruct the girl. It was the way of those who had the gift and recognized it in another.
Help me, whispered the child. Help me hear it.
She put her hands to the child's chest again and then held them close to the little girl's ear. A smile so bright that even the moonless night could not conceal it swept across the child's face.
I hear it! she cried.
A shadow moved by the wagon's window. If someone were to peer out now... It did not matter. She had taught the child well, and now nothing was left but to bring forth the gift. Holding out her hands, cupped as if to hold water or a precious jewel, she said, Look within and discover the gift inside you. Open yourself to it, but only if you wish. Guard your gift well and use your gift wisely or it will turn its power upon you. Think well before you look once more, because there is no turning back.
The child's eyes widened as her mouth became a perfect O. Slowly, she raised her small hands and put them around the woman's. Just as slowly, the woman drew her hands away and sat back, smiling, as the child stared at her own palms, transfixed.
With a sudden laugh, the child threw up her hands, and bright lights cascaded over both the old woman and the child. She flung her arms around the woman before running to scoop up the sparkles in her long nightdress.
The woman smiled with satisfaction.
AND NOW, FOR your mystification and entertainment, The Amazing Nightingales!
Madeleine Nightingale gave the simple front of her white satin gown one last tug before she followed her brother onto the makeshift stage in front of the church. She glanced at the crowd and sighed. A score of children and half that many adults made a poor audience and would bring a meager collection at the end of the show. Unless a bigger crowd attended the performance tomorrow afternoon, she would have to dip into their paltry savings to buy food for her and her brother Roland.
The applause was more enthusiastic than she had anticipated, and her hopes rose. An eager audience might put in a generous contribution when the hat was passed at the end of the show. But she could not think of that now. She had to make sure Roland completed each trick without a mistake. A single mistake could be costly because people would not pay to watch errors. They wanted to be dazzled, and it was her duty to be certain that Roland did just that.
Holding out her arm to focus everyone's attention on her brother, she kept a practiced smile on her lips. She did not even bat away the insects buzzing around her head. After spending nearly every evening of her life standing in the bright glow of lamps, she had learned to pay them no mind. She had also learned not to open her mouth unwisely or to breathe in deeply when they swarmed around her head.
She had no time to finish the thought as she handed Roland the battered top hat. Pulling a rabbit from a hat would charm the children, although the trick was as old as stage magic itself. She brushed down the back of Roland's worn frock coat, not wanting him to chance revealing any props for upcoming illusions. He did not falter in his patter as he held up the apparently empty hat for all to see. He was accustomed to her tending to such details. In fact, he depended on her for those matters, whether he acknowledged the truth or not.
Childish squeals welcomed the bunny that Roland lifted from the hat. Madeleine took the hat and Pudgy. She slipped Pudgy another piece of the carrot that had been too soft to put in their stew. Setting them behind her, she again motioned broadly toward Roland, aiming the applause at him.
That went better than last week, he murmured under his breath as he reached for the deck of cards she offered him with another graceful wave of her hand.
Pudgy is not hungry tonight, she answered as softly. He is always more cooperative when his stomach is full.
A scowl darkened his thin mustache. Me, too, but who knows when that will be? He glanced at the meager audience.
She gave him a bolstering smile. Roland should not be thinking of anything but the next part of the routine.
Stepping aside, she folded her hands behind her, letting them rest on the cascade of deep blue ruffles dropping along the back of her gown. She watched Roland closely. With every performance, he gained more confidence. Maybe someday he would do as he had vowed and become the star in a fine London theater. Then, the rough life of traveling from town to town, wondering each day how they would afford to eat tomorrow, would be over. He wanted that desperately, and she would do what she could to help him obtain his wish.
Madeleine stole a glance beyond the lanterns at the edge of the simple stage to appraise the audience. They appeared fascinated by Roland's sleight-of-hand. More people were gathering. The day had been rainy. Maybe folks had been delayed in town by muddy roads. She must pick exactly the right moment to pass the top hat to collect whatever pennies these farmers and small merchants would part with.
She heard Roland say, And now the lovely Miss Madeleine Nightingale will... She turned to collect his baton from the table and froze as her gaze was caught by the eyes of a tall man near the back of the audience.
He walked slowly toward the stage. She did not need to take note of his elegant clothes to know he did not belong in this small village any more than she and Roland did. She could tell he was a man of some standing by the way the others glanced over their shoulders as he neared and then stepped aside. Unlike the others, who were dressed casually, he wore a top hat as dark as his frock coat. The tip of his walking stick matched the gold buttons on his vest. His stylishly trimmed mustache was the golden-brown of spun caramel.
Madeleine, assist me, hissed her brother.
She could not tear her gaze away from the man's, not even to answer Roland. Those heated eyes held her. The man paused directly in front of the stage, so close that his eyes were hidden by shadows cast by the lantern. Yet, when he folded his arms over the front of his coat, she could see the bold smile he aimed at her. Something... something unquestionably pleasurable, twisted through her.
His gaze moved easily along her, as if she were wares in a market and he was considering buying. She resisted straightening the satin straps of her gown which left her arms immodestly bare. As he looked at her breasts, his smile broadening slightly, she did not dare to breathe. She was unsure if she could have, even if she had wanted to. His attention did not linger there as it continued along her, making her aware as never before that her dress was too short for anywhere but the stage, because the hem barely reached the top of her high-button shoes. His smile curled into a knowing expression. The only problem was she had no idea what he thought he knew.
Madeleine, what is amiss? her brother demanded.
What—? She stared at Roland. He was frowning. When he gestured toward the table, she nodded.
What was wrong with her? Only once before had she lost her place in a performance, but then she had been no more than four or five years old. She had gone through his routine so often with him during so many shows that she should have been able to make each motion without thinking. She reached for the bowl he needed for the next part of their act.
The bowl slipped from her fingers and smashed into dozens of pieces that skittered across the small stage. Laughter trickled through the crowd, embarrassed laughter for the magician's assistant who could not manage the simplest task. She stared at the broken bowl, appalled. Her gaze flicked from the shards to the man by the stage. He gave her a sympathetic nod, but his smile never wavered.
What is wrong with you? Roland asked in a taut whisper.
Nothing, nothing. She hastily picked up what looked like an empty cage and held it out to him. I am sorry, Roland.
He frowned at her, but continued the performance.
Madeleine listened to his patter and waited for the exact moment to place the paisley scarf over the cage. She was astonished when her fingers trembled. She did not suffer from stage nerves. But if that was not the reason her fingers shook, what was? Or who? Although she knew she should keep her focus directed on the scarf, she looked over it to the tawny-haired man who stood right in front of her.
His eye closed in a lazy wink.
She gasped as something flapped against her fingers. A pair of doves erupted from beneath the cloth and flew up in her face. Roland cursed, and heat rose along her cheeks. The children in the audience shrieked and pointed skyward as the gray shadows of the birds vanished among the stars. Laughter rose in their wake. Not a titter this time, but a roar.
Her brother took her by the arm and turned so his back was to the audience. What is wrong with you tonight? You are never clumsy.
I... She still faced the audience and found herself staring at the handsome man whose smile sent sweet sensation through her once more.
The man leaned forward and rested his arms on the lip of the stage. Now that he stood so his face was fully lit by the lanterns, she could see that his eyes were a cool moss green. They twinkled as brightly as the lamps.
Roland's insistent voice brought her own eyes back to him. His square face furrowed with frustration. She could not blame him. Everything she had done tonight was wrong.
I am sorry, she said yet again, struggling to keep from looking at the handsome man. Was she out of her mind? Other men had tried to flirt with her from beyond the lights. Not once before had she succumbed to silly giddiness.
She managed a smile. Dear Roland! How kind of him to think of her when she had made a jumble of everything. Patting his arm, she whispered, I shall be fine. Why don't we continue?
There is only one illusion left.
The anger in his voice lashed at her. If only we knew how, I would be grateful for such a finale tonight.
Madeleine bit her lip so she would not speak the truth. Roland did not believe in magic, only illusion. If she were even to hint... No! She silenced the reckless thought, especially when he was so discomposed.
But she could not stand here and do nothing. After all, she had ruined tonight's show. It was her obligation to fix it. She watched as Roland went back to the middle of the stage and began the final deception aimed at convincing the audience that he truly controlled nature and could twist it to his will. Stepping into the shadows beyond the edge of the curtain tied back to hide its fraying edges, she closed her eyes and cleared her mind. She formed an image of Roland in her head. Her mind's eye focused on his hands. Painting them with a golden glow, she concentrated on keeping the light around his fingers. Old Saza had taught her to center all her thoughts so she could help steady Roland's hands and bring them the skill Papa had had. It was almost as good as creating the illusions herself.
Explosive applause and cheers brought her eyes open. She had done it! The audience and Roland believed the skill was his, and that was the way she wanted it. With a smile, she moved back into the light and raised her hand toward her brother as Roland took a deep bow. Even the handsome man by the stage clapped appreciatively.
She picked up Roland's top hat and went to the steps on the far side of the stage. Her eyes widened when the handsome man paralleled the stage at exactly the same pace she walked. When she reached the steps, he held up his hand to assist her to the ground.
She hesitated, and he raised a golden brow and asked, Miss Nightingale, may I?
Thank you. She gave him her coolest smile and placed her hand on his gloved palm. The leather, she noticed quickly, was uncracked and an amazing light gray.
His fingers closed around hers, and she forgot all about the fine gloves. The warmth that had whirled within her became a windstorm as the heat of his skin oozed through the leather. Slowly he drew her down the steps until her eyes were even with his. The light from the stage glowed on only one side of his face, hiding the other half. He said nothing. He did not move nearer. Even so, she wondered if she had ever been so intimately close to another human being. She was certain she had never been so close to a man who unsettled her as he did.
He! She did not even know his name. What a fool she was to let his impertinent smile delight her! She shook herself free of her own fancy and edged off the lowest step.
Thank you, sir, she said.
My pleasure, Miss Nightingale. My deepest pleasure, if I may say so.
Madeleine decided anything she said might be the wrong thing, so she simply nodded. She started to turn away, but he halted her, dropping several coins into the top hat. Thank you, sir, she said again, glad to fall back on the trite. I am pleased you enjoyed The Amazing Nightingales' show.
Strolling among those who had viewed the show, she smiled each time someone dropped a coin into the hat. Most offered only pennies, but even these few pennies would help feed them and their animals.
Excellent entertainment, said a deep voice from her left.
She sighed silently. Reverend Mr. Spinner had been kind to offer his churchyard for the performance. It was a kindness, she knew from experience, based on the expectation that The Amazing Nightingales would share part of the money collected with the parish church.
Not exactly what I anticipated, I must say, the parson continued, after you expounded on your brother's skill with sleight-of-hand.
You must not fault my brother for my clumsiness, she hurried to say. She gave what she hoped sounded like a giggle. Thank goodness Roland is patient with me at times like tonight.
He offered her a sympathetic smile, and she guessed he was sorry that anyone who worked on the stage was so apparently ungainly. I must say that the congregation enjoyed you immensely.
And we thank you for making it possible for us to present our show for them. She reached into the top hat and pulled out the handful of coins.
Her eyes widened when she saw two half crowns amidst the other coins. Who—? She glanced over her shoulder at the handsome man by the steps. When he tipped his hat to her, she looked hastily away. He must have put the half crowns in the hat. Judging by the audience's clothing, nobody else could afford to be so generous.
Miss Nightingale? the parson prompted.
Grateful that Roland was not the only one who had learned sleight-of-hand from their father, Madeleine made the half crowns vanish into a pocket within the hat. She counted half the pennies and dropped them into the parson's outstretched hand.
Thank you again, Mr. Spinner, she said. I do hope you will attend our performance tomorrow afternoon. I intend to be far more competent.
Perhaps I will. He shook the coins before dropping them into a pocket. You know that you are always welcome to perform here.
That is kind of you to say. Wishing him a good evening, Madeleine hurried back to where Roland was gathering up their props. She wanted to share the good tidings of the largesse that had come their way, but first she must apologize for being so absentminded.
He squatted by the table on the stage and did not stand or look at her when she said, Roland, I am sorry about my mistakes during the show.
I do not want to talk about it now. His lips were a straight line beneath his thin, black mustache.
He glanced at her as he packed colorful scarves into their box and reached for Pudgy's cage. Madeleine, Mama always told us to curb our tongues if we thought we could not speak calmly, for words said in anger are hurtful. I find her advice useful tonight.
She also said there should be no misunderstandings left to fester between us.
Madeleine, please! Not here. His hands clenched on the small cage.
All right, she whispered, touching his shoulder in apology. She jerked her hand back when she felt how he trembled. Was he that furious with her? When we get back to the wagon, I will make you a cup of your favorite tea. Then we can talk.
Madeleine swallowed harshly. She could not recall the last time Roland had spoken to her in such a frigid tone. Picking up the baton which had been transformed into a rose bush, she set it atop the other props.
Madeleine, I would rather finish alone.
She flinched as if he had struck her. He must be even angrier than she had guessed. Edging away, she clenched her hands by her sides. She wanted to tell him that she had not ruined the show. She had saved it... just as she had saved it so many nights before. But telling him the truth now would only infuriate him more. Her brother had ambitious dreams, and he would not welcome her being honest about how she helped him.
When she whirled to go back to the small wagon that was their home, her satin gown flowed around her legs. She dashed blindly from the stage. What a to-do! She and Roland must not be at odds with one another when they next performed, or the result could be even more dreadful than tonight.
She never wanted to come back to... She could not recall the name of the village. It could have been any of a dozen in the Kent countryside with its stone church that looked as if it had been built within days of the Norman Conquest. A small shop and several houses edged a green graced by a pair of oaks that were probably older than any of the buildings. The villages and their names blurred together after more than two decades of traveling the dusty roads between them.
As she walked across the green, paying no mind to the dew dampening her shoes, she prayed that someday, when her brother achieved his most precious dream and they were performing in one of the elegant theaters near Covent Garden, she and Roland would look back at the jumbled performance tonight and laugh. Together. She wished they could laugh tonight, but, with a shudder, she knew they would not.
The man's voice came out of the shadows beneath the closer oak tree, startling Madeleine. She spun and gasped as she looked up into the green eyes which had held her gaze on stage. What was the handsome man doing here? Waiting for her? She hoped not... and she hoped so. No, she must not encourage any stranger. Most men believed that a woman who made her living on the stage was eager to earn a bit more gold in his bed.
He slipped off his frock coat and draped it over her shoulders. His fingers brushed her bare skin lightly, but fierce electricity seared through her. His fine lawn shirt stretched across his muscular chest when he reached to lift her hair from beneath his coat.
What do you think you doing? She stepped back and pulled off the coat, holding it out to him.
He smiled, but did not take it back. I am sorry if I have given you cause for alarm. All I wished to do is be certain you did not take a chill.
You took a year off my life blurting out that question. I did not see you lurking there.
I hope that is not true. His smile broadened. What a shame it would be to deny the world even a moment of your charming talent and grace, Miss Nightingale.
Madeleine took a steadying breath. Who was the well-dressed man? Of one thing she was certain. If he was like other men she had encountered, he did not care about her life beyond tonight. He thought only of seducing her and taking his pleasure. I bid you a good evening, sir.
Must you? He put out his hand as if to take hers.
She draped his coat over his outstretched arm. Sir, I must. There is much to do before my brother and I may retire.
So the inimitable Mr. Nightingale is your brother, is he?
Yes. She hoped her coolness covered her disappointment. Just once she would like to meet a man who did not think she was easily wooed into offering a very private performance after the lanterns were extinguished.
I am glad I chanced upon your show tonight. Another smile twitched on his lips. You were very amusing, Miss Nightingale.
That was not our goal.


New York, NY –September 26, 2013 – (www.investorideas.com newswire). Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in independent research in leading sectors including biometrics and mobile security stocks features a recent in interview with NXT-ID, Inc.(OTCQB: NXTD). Technology Today blog radio host Ajay Gupta interviews biometric expert Mr. Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID (OTCQB: NXTD) to discuss recent developments in biometrics and how Apple (AAPL) is taking the lead in mobile security. Gino shares insight into what works now, what doesn't work and the future of biometrics as it becomes mainstream technology.
Apple's new OS, iOS 7, and two new phones, the iPhone 5c and 5s, have received a lot of attention. And they've sold 9 million phones in the first weekend of sales.
One feature that hasn't received as much discussion as may be deserved is the fingerprint biometric feature. That's the kind of tech we like to discuss at Technology Today and we'll do that this Wednesday at 6pm EST.
Security is an ever growing concern and the 4-digit pass code is often more of an annoyance than a deterrent. Perhaps a finger tap approach, which we are used to anyway from opening apps, will do better?
Some say this is a slippery slope that once we are accustomed to using our fingers, retina scanners, voice print and other more intrusive biometric approaches will become the norm.
The show discuses the pros and cons and takes a deeper look at the biometric teck. Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID, is a recognized expert in the technology space having built start-ups across the world. His current business, NXT-ID, is active in biometrics with special application in mobile payment security.

JEE Main 2019: NTA began the computer-based paper 1 tests today.
National Testing Agency or NTA has held the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2019 examination for the aspirants of premier engineering and technological institutes today. NTA is conducting the JEE Main - April, 2019 in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode at different Centres located in different Cities throughout the country and abroad from April 7, 2019 to April 10, 2019 and April 12, 2019. NTA began the computer-based paper 1 tests today.
"Between Physics, Chemistry, and Maths, Chemistry was the easiest subject. Most questions were straightforward and many were fact-based. This helped the students save time for other subjects. Most students felt that Physics was the toughest paper in comparison to Maths and Chemistry. The Maths paper was quite moderate even though it was expected to be much tougher. However, some questions were quite lengthy. There are conflicting opinions about the difficulty of today's exam as compared to the January exam, but many students feel that this one was slightly tougher. The JEE Main 2019 cut off is expected to be between 75-85. This is slightly higher than last year's cut off, which was at 74 for the General category."
"The National Testing Agency (NTA) successfully commenced the second phase of JEE Main Exam today. The exam was conducted in online mode. This is the first time that a candidate aspiring to be an engineer has two attempts within a span of three months and is getting an opportunity to improve his score. The April session for JEE Main 2019 is being conducted on 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th of April 2019. In the morning slot today, the overall level of the examination was 'Moderate'. There were no surprises in today's JEE exam paper. The pattern was similar to January and those of last years'. Chemistry section was scoring and easier than January session.
"On the whole, the Physics section was between 'Moderate to Difficult', while Chemistry section was 'Easy' with some questions directly asked from NCERT. The Mathematics section was Moderate in difficulty with lengthy questions. Out of 30 questions in each subject, about 5-6 questions were similar to previous year's JEE examination. Considering the trend and difficulty level of Chemistry in this slot, students can attempt this section first while appearing for JEE in future exam slots. Practicing previous years' JEE Main papers will also aid in scoring well in the exam.
"In the Physics section, there were maximum questions from Mechanics and Electrostatic & Magnetism. Questions were based on conceptual understanding of topics, making the section slightly difficult. In Mathematics section, the questions were structured similar to previous year's questions. In Chemistry, questions from Biomolecules, Polymers and Chemistry in everyday life were easy and comparatively higher in number.
"Based on the morning session, the expected cut-off will range between 78-83 marks."

"We inherited an education system which was one of the most stratified and segregated in the developed world. We're implementing a long-term plan for schools — rooted in evidence — driven by moral purpose." (Michael Gove)
Speaking to the British Chambers of Commerce about vocational education, literacy and numeracy, the Secretary of State for Education Michael Gove stated that the Government reforms aim to give children from all backgrounds a "chance to flourish".
He explained that the most successful education systems in the world have autonomy for frontline staff, "more intelligent accountability" and drive up the standard of teaching and so the reforms are both "raising standards and extending opportunity".
However, Mr Gove did agree that more is needed, particularly where vocational skills are concerned including English and maths; he therefore outlined a "national ambition" to "eliminate illiteracy and innumeracy in Britain" so that no child's future is "irredeemably blighted by illiteracy and innumeracy".
To this end, new policies are to be introduced, with a check at the end of Year 1 to make sure children are decoding words fluently, a progress check at the end of Key Stage 1, and a test at the end of primary school when it is hoped at least 85% will be at the level of literacy and numeracy that indicates they are likely to achieve good grades at GCSE.
Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said he shares Mr Gove's focus on school standards but "fears his method" is "condemning too many young people to a second-class education".
