Tall people face challenges that most people don't have to when it comes to their office chair. These types of users need deeper seats and taller chair backs to accommodate their needs for a comfortable seating experience.
Big and tall office chairs can be found in just as many styles as any other computer chair, whether you're looking for something in leather, fabric, or mesh. Below we're going to break down two of the most common questions when choosing the best desk chair for tall people.
What height does someone have to be to purchase a big and tall chair?
There is no set height, but typically those who are 6'2" and over would benefit from using a big and tall office chair. Big and tall chairs are made with taller chair backs and adjustable seat pans that make it easier for a person with a taller stature to find a chair that fits their needs.
What seat depth should they look for?
People who are taller have longer legs, therefore, they typically find the seat depth on standard chairs to be an issue. In order to address that issue, people with a taller stature should look for a seat depth that is 20" or more. This will allow those with a taller frame to sit more comfortably without feeling like their knees are too far from their chair.
In summary, finding a chair that fits you is important, especially if you spend long periods of time in it. Don't waste money on a chair you'll soon end up replacing because you didn't do your homework! At OfficeChairs.com, we're here to help you make your next chair purchase easier.

A month ago the hard disk in my home desktop computer crashed. Yesterday, the hard disk in my laptop crashed. I've been using computers with hard disks for at least 15 years, and before last month, I had never had a actual, physical hard disk crash on any of my personal machines (I've had drives wiped out for various other reasons, but the actual drives were always usable). Is this the start of a bad trend? Having hard disk prices below 1$/GB isn't all that great if the disks have the life expectancy of a Microdrive.
Well, all the important stuff is backed up elsewhere, and I only lost some blog subscriptions added in the last few weeks. Still, I should try to start using Unison again (I stopped using it when I retired my Linux machine, which acted as server storage area) — it's a great way to keep all one's important files (in my case, almost everything under %USERPROFILE%) in sync between machines. Use it to sync your work and home computer, and you have automatic offsite backup.

An aerial view of Lublin. The castle, (Zamek, in Polish) is in the center of the frame, and the old Jewish neighborhood, Podamcze, is just beneath it. Photo...
Though a small and secondary city today, Lublin was once a great center of Polish Jewry and functioned for a time as the industrial capital of Poland. Its rich history belies its current size and character. The variety within its former Jewish community provides a microcosm of Polish-Jewish culture during the last centuries.

Founded during the 9th century as a fortified royal outpost situated along the busy trade routes of eastern Poland, Lublin's centrality made it a hub for provincial and foreign traders, who arrived at its renowned market days with an impressive variety of goods, including produce, spices, silk, horses, oxen, fur, leather, iron, steel, and wagons. As Lublin grew into a proper town, its teeming streets were distinguished by the variety of products and trade: tailors, furriers, brewers, bakers, artisans, shoemakers, grocers. As elsewhere, Jewish merchants and artisans were bitterly opposed by Polish guilds that rivalry continued until 1805, when the two groups joined together into unified guilds. In addition to being a royal city and an economic hub, Lublin was once also the center of Jewish self-government in Poland - the seat of the Council of Four Lands (Vaad d'arba Artzot in Hebrew) - the Jewish bureaucracy charged with overseeing all of the kehillot of Poland's Jewish communities.

Jews had first arrived in Lublin during the 14th century in response to an official invitation from King Casimir (Kazmierz), who sought the economic experience and ideas of Germans and Jews for his emerging stronghold. As in other cities, the Jews of Lublin were restricted to living in specific areas outside of the original city called Piaski Zydowskie (Jewish Sands). In the 16th century, Jews were allowed to settle at the foot of the castle and they established the new Jewish quarter called Podzamcze. Lublin's core Jewish community flowered in Podzamcze, and was initially focused around Szeroka Street (Broad Street), with its diverse array of institutions, offices, and synagogues. In modern times, the main thoroughfare became Lubartovska Street, a busy boulevard of Jewish shops both large and small. At the time of World War II, Podzamcze's "Jewish City" within the city had been developing for almost 400 years and it still was the heart of the community for Lublin's 400,000 Jews (just under one-third of the city's population).

2005-12-28 04:00:00 PDT Bethlehem, Pa. -- In the shadow of the hulking industrial carcass of the Bethlehem Steel site here, a cozy boutique called Comfort and Joy is selling "aromatherapeutic" cleaning products, herbal teas in silk pouches and $1,200 designer quilts. Down the street, another store, Home and Planet, is offering $800 end tables made from recycled steel beams.
The pricey quilts and tables are increasingly being marketed to an influx of middle-class New Yorkers who have come to the Lehigh Valley in search of affordable housing and good schools they could not easily find back home. Newcomers are recasting this former steel and coal-mining area into a new kind of bedroom community, bringing cosmopolitan tastes with them.
America's newest suburbs are neither the classic towns close to a major city nor distant exurbs built on once-empty farmland. They are aging industrial cities and their environs, on the far periphery of the most expensive metropolitan areas in the Northeast and California -- places where middle-class parents can buy homes for their growing families while keeping their big-city jobs.
In New England, the former textile cities of southern New Hampshire, including Manchester, are drawing hundreds more Boston residents than they did a few years ago. Outside Washington, the long trip down Interstate 270 from West Virginia has grown crowded with commuters. In Northern California, hardscrabble Stockton is attracting more departing San Francisco Bay Area residents than anywhere other than Sacramento, despite a 90-minute drive without traffic.
The chance to buy a spacious four-bedroom house in a place with good schools and wide-open spaces "sort of outweighs everything else," said Lou Fiscella, who moved with his family to the Lehigh Valley from Staten Island three years ago and has been making the two-hour commute to Manhattan every weekday. His bus is nearly always filled.
Longtime residents view the newcomers as a mixed blessing. House prices have jumped, making it harder for young locals to buy their first home. But new residents have helped lift long-struggling economies by luring home builders and new stores.
Not so long ago, Billy Joel sang "they're closing all the factories down" in Allentown. Now developers plan to build a casino, a hotel and new condominiums at the old Bethlehem Steel site. Part of the attraction is the middle-class population that is moving in. "The New Yorkers go out, the Jerseyans go further west, and there you are," said Barry Gosin, chief executive of Newmark & Co., one of the developers.
Near Allentown, an upscale grocery chain, Wegmans, has built three new stores in the past seven years. A new luxury mall is going up, attracted by the incomes of residents moving into the area, said its developer, Terry McEwen, president of Poag & McEwen Lifestyle Centers.
A median-priced home in the Lehigh Valley costs $190,000, according to the local Realtors Association, less than half the $461,100 it costs to buy a house in the New York region. House prices in New York have soared in recent years, while houses around Allentown have done little better than inflation until recently, when the newcomers have helped push up costs.
In 2002 the Fiscellas moved to a much bigger house than the one they had on Staten Island, in part to be closer to the sister of Fiscella's wife, Stephanie. He was able to keep his job as a computer network engineer in Manhattan.
Because of the commute, Fiscella, 45, rarely makes it home for his daughter's soccer practice or his youngest son's T-ball games. Andrew, 13, Nicole, 11, and Justin, 7, are sometimes in bed before he gets home. But he and his wife said they were happy with what they had gained.
On Staten Island, the children attended day camp at a local public school and played in the water from fire hydrants. Here, they spend summers at a camp on 150 acres of land. At school, they have a television station and computers in every classroom, none of which they had in New York.
Stephanie Fiscella said that since the family moved to the area, she has been able to find more of what she misses of New York, including her favorite brand of cold cuts. And this year she and her sister opened a children's clothing boutique that features outfits made by New York designers.
Though people have been leaving the New York metropolitan area for eastern Pennsylvania for years, the outflow has increased from about 7,000 a year in the 1980s and 1990s to more than 10,000 in 2002 and about 13,700 last year.
Farther north in Pennsylvania, the Poconos are attracting former New Yorkers who still commute to the city, though in smaller numbers.
Home builders have started to notice the demographic changes. Toll Brothers, a developer of luxury homes, started building houses in the Lehigh Valley three years ago. Tom Argyris, Toll's regional president, said that about 40 percent of the home buyers around Allentown are from the New York metro area.
One of the company's popular home models, the Coventry, a 4,400-square-foot, four-bedroom house, starts at about $625,000 around Allentown, he said. In Basking Ridge, N.J., a little over an hour by train from Manhattan, the same house goes for about $1.7 million. As a rule of thumb, house prices seem to fall by about $1,000 per commuting minute from New York.
So they ended up in Macungie, just outside Allentown, in a home that is more than twice the size of the three-bedroom ranch house they sold in Scotch Plains, N.J. He has tripled his commute time, and now his wife and their two young daughters usually eat dinner without him.
Many of the people moving far beyond New York have middle-class incomes or even higher, said Jason Bram, a regional economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Just taking the bus to Manhattan for work costs more than $400 a month.
"There are plenty of affordable places in the five boroughs of New York that people just don't want to live in," Bram said. The same is true of nearby suburbs and cities, like Yonkers. But these places tend to be poor or have troubled public schools and hold little appeal for families with more money.
"It is very rough and tiring," said Amadou Diakite, a dispatcher for a courier company in Manhattan who rides the bus every morning from Fountain Hill, near Bethlehem, where he and his wife moved six years ago from the Bronx. But his children, now 6, 4 and 4 months, all benefit from living in a large house with a bigger yard. "It is for them that I am there," he said.


The third European single from "Lifelines" is "Did Anyone Approach You?". The cover features a very blurred purple tone shot of the band. The a-ha logo and title are printed in white letters across the sleeve. There is a white border around the picture. The CD includes the following tracks: Did Anyone Approach You? (Original Album Version), Did Anyone Approach You? (Turner Remix), Did Anyone Approach You? (Reamped), Did Anyone Approach You? (Tore Johannson Remix), Afternoon High (Demo Version) and Did Anyone Approach You? (Video Clip). The German release is limited to 20000 copies and has the unique limited number printed in the top right hand corner of the sleeve. The Norwegian release has not been assigned a limited edition number.
A 2 track CD single was available in Norway. It features the Original Album version of "Did Anyone Approach You?" plus the Demo Version of "Afternoon High". The 2-track single was scheduled for release in Sweden on 31st December 2002, but was cancelled and there was no release of "Did Anyone Approach You?" in Sweden.
The promo single has a similar sleeve, but includes only the album version of "Did Anyone Approach You?" (4:10). The disc is white with a dark blue logo on the bottom left hand side.
Some copies of the German promo come with a wea records press sheet with information on the band plus German tour dates.
Israel: The German 6-track single was used for promotional purposes in Israel and comes with a Hebrew sticker on the front of the case and a "not for sale" sticker over the barcode on the back.

3 Inches Of Blood 2/18 Glasshouse Pomona Review
February 27, 2011 drainu182 Concerts, Photos 0
Written by Farhaad Esfandiary of LAHaadcore.com, Photos by Internal Arts Photography
Four months went by since we last attended a show. Much too long of a wait if you ask me, but between November and early February there was nothing worth going to. Then we remembered 3 Inches of Blood and Holy Grail were touring together with "some" folk metal band named Eluveitie. Shame on me, right? Right. Good thing for us we didn't crash on the way to the venue in the pounding Los Angeles rain, cause there would have been no pictures and videos to look at or even words to read! I forgot to mention System Divide was on this tour, but only because I didn't go inside to see them. I was outside, paranoid at the thought of my photographer being involved in a fiery car crash and being unable to attend.
We made it in just in time to see Holy Grail take the stage. FUCK. YES. I had been wanting to see them play since their debut album Crisis in Utopia came out last October. I missed them once, but that only made the album get wayyy more spins in my car, quickly making it one of my favorite albums of 2010. They were every bit as fierce, fast, fun and whatever else starts with the letter 'f' as I thought they'd be. James Paul Luna's epic voice sounded better than I thought it would and Eli Santana's shredding was on point. Hell, even the new rhythm guitarist was a fucking riot. His stage presence was truly great and the crowd, which seemed to have quite a few fans of the band, really enjoyed the theatrics. There was plenty of horns being thrown and circle pits being formed in a show of appreciation. It made me proud to be a Pasadena native. First we had Van Halen, now we've got Holy Grail.

3 Inches of Blood came next, and they took the stage to the music of when Kirk had to fight Spock. That's super Metal, right? During the sound check and setup, I wondered what their set was going to be like. I figured the absence of Jamie Hooper meant that they'd be playing more material from Here Waits Thy Doom, and less of the previous 3 albums, but I was wrong. The band kicked things off with "The Goatriders Hoarde" and went into "Destroy the Orcs," which immediately caused a ruckus in the ol' mosh pit. Hooper's vocals were used on both studio recordings, but it didn't matter because lead guitarist Justin Hagberg did an excellent job on the screams throughout the entire set. The guys were air-tight throughout, never missing a beat and playing with such great energy. Songs like "Deadly Sinners" and "Night Marauders" never sounded so intense! And Cam Pipes? In my opinion, that dude has one of the best voices in Metal. I'm talking about today, but I have to include him in the "of all time" discussion as well. I truly believe he's up there with the likes of Halford, Dickinson, and young Anselmo. I had a lot of fun watching 3IOB play, but I was a little confused by the lack of material from their most recent album. The only song they did from Here Waits thy Doom was "Battles and Brotherhood." They even played 2 new songs from an upcoming EP. The pit was pretty rough throughout the set, and I can only assume something like "Call of the Hammer" would have made things much more rowdy. However, even without the newer stuff, the set was still great. They played a lot of crowd favorites and everyone was having a great time. I'm glad I finally got the chance to see them shred.

I originally wasn't going to stick around for Eluveitie because the thought of folk metal didn't really excite me that night. I'm a fan of the genre, but only in small doses. I'm glad I did stick around, though, because they're one of the better bands I've seen in the last few years. I didn't know a single one of their lyrics. I didn't know they have 9 members, and that two of them are attractive women. Not even by metal standards either. I'm talking truly attractive. I was also unaware that they played instruments such as the hurdy gurdy, flute, violin and bag pipes. This had the makings of a fun and unqiue set. All I needed to hear was the music.. and holy fuck was it good. They have a nice Gothenburg-y (think At the Gates) sound, with gentle flute and hurdy gurdy melodies thrown on top heavy, ripping riffs and pounding drums. I was all-in after just a couple of songs, and recorded most of their set. I think my favorite moment was vocalist Chigrel Glanzmann demanding the pit-goers to go apeshit during "Kingdom Come Undone" and ordering a Wall of Death at the start of "(Do)minion." I think he bought a few beers for some folks in the pit that night too. What a nice guy.
Videos: Nil & Bloodstained Ground and Thousandfold of Eluveitie's set
It was a great night for metal aside from the pouring rain. Holy Grail set the tempo for the night. 3 Inches of Blood absolutely destroyed, and Eluveitie couldn't have done a better job of closing out the show. I hope to see all three bands again very soon.

One of the many interesting games to be announced as a world premier during The Game Awards 2018 was the awaited Mortal Kombat 11 by NetherRealm Studios. While there have been rumors and hints that the next title of the beloved fighting series was in the works, the definitive trailer is always the best source of proof.
After watching this trailer I could tell that they aren't planning to hold anything back this time around. Mortal Kombat 11 is looking to be the bloodiest, most brutal Mortal Kombat in the series! Although it is set to launch April 23, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, players don't have to wait so long to try the game themselves.
In fact, if you pre-order the game on either PS4 or XB1, then you will get to play the closed beta as early as March 2019. This is also how you unlock Shao Kahn, which I think is a poor choice as he is an iconic enemy of the series. Hopefully he will still be able to be obtained in the game legitimately.
What did you think of the Mortal Kombat 11 announcement trailer?

Q: cluster_database TRUE/FALSE what does it mean in Oracle RAC? I have 3 databases on an Oracle RAC (two nodes) one database which is running with CLUSTER_DATABASE=TRUE on both nodes, the other two runs on each node with CLUSTER_DATABASE=FALSE
what does it mean the CLUSTER_DATABASE value?
and if it is CLUSTER_DATABASE= FALSE, is it as a normal single node Oracle Database?
what happen to the database instance that runs as (CLUSTER_DATABASE=FALSE) when the node is offline? dose it goes online on the other node or it goes offline as well?

A: What the SIDs on all the nodes? Is this really the same DATABASE. For example you can have 3 node cluster having a single ASM on all the nodes, but database A is clustered on node1/node2. But database B runs only on the node 3.
The database B then is still started and stopped by the Clusterware, but is not clustered. You can also check output from:
ps -ef | grep -e lmd

The lmd process is started on clustered instances only.
EDITED: maybe I understand now. You do not have RAC database. RAC is active-active cluster. .i.e databases instances run on multiple nodes at the same time.
You have standalone instances guarded by Oracle Clusterware. So you have active-passive failover cluster. As described here :Using Oracle Clusterware to Protect
A Single Instance. Then you do NOT need the parameter cluster_database set to true. It only applies to RAC databases.

Blogs: Cutting Remarks / Diamonds
Why De Beers Wants to Hire More Women
October 6, 2017 by Rob Bates
De Beers, sometimes slagged as a boy's club, now has a new message: Women wanted.
Last week, the diamond giant forged a three-year partnership with UN Women, a division of the United Nations. As part of that deal, De Beers pledged to achieve gender parity in upper-level management by 2020, to invest $3 million to support women in diamond producing countries, and to ensure its brands are "a positive force for supporting gender equality."
(We should note that the executive director of UN Women is Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, who oversaw—and sometimes tangled with—De Beers when she served as South Africa's minister of minerals.)
De Beers CEO Bruce Cleaver calls the partnership a natural one, since 90 percent of diamonds are bought for women.
"Women are a key part of our future," he tells JCK. "There's a fair amount of research that shows more diverse teams make better decisions."
Traditionally, De Beers has lacked women in its upper ranks—with the notable exception of now-departed sales director Varda Shine. Cleaver notes that the company recently hired a female head of human resources and that she and another female executive were recently promoted to the company's executive committee.
And he clearly wants to increase their ranks.
"Our numbers are just not good enough," he says. "Twenty-four percent of our workforce is female, which is just not good enough."
"This won't be easy," he adds. "We are not just going to be paying lip service. This will change the way we hire talent."
In addition, De Beers has committed to making the marketing for its Forevermark and De Beers Diamond Jewellers brands "serve as a positive force for gender equality."
As part of that, the company will work with UN Women to "[devise] creative campaigns that reflect the diverse roles that women occupy in society."
With its research showing an increase in the number of self-purchasing women, De Beers intended to talk more to women in its advertising anyway, but now it plans to accelerate that.
"This isn't philanthropic," Cleaver says. "There's a powerful force of female self-purchase. We see a major opportunity there."
Finally, De Beers has pledged $3 million to advance the prospects of women and girls in diamond-producing nations. In Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, the money will go to accelerating the growth of female microentrepreneurs. In Canada, De Beers will fund scholarships for young women and girls from underprivileged communities who want to pursue studies in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering (STEM).
As part of this commitment, De Beers will have to publicly report every year how much progress it's made against those agreed-to benchmarks.
Cleaver says the internal feedback has been extremely positive.
"We have a tremendous response throughout the group," he says. "It makes me feel proud to be part of De Beers."

But here are our guidelines in case you want an early start!
To be eligible for consideration you must be female, female identifying or a non-conforming sapien as young as 50 years of age or older and reside in the Pacific NW. We eagerly seek persons of color in order to represent a wider range of perspectives for this innovative anthology.
What we are Looking For:
Work that specifically focuses on eroticism; ecstasy; love; sex; body love; breakthroughs; lessons learned sensuality from the perspective of aging; what it means to be a sensual, pleasure seeking person in an older body. Although we are not excluding trauma or "negative" experiences, our goal is to create a new language that defies ageism.
To help you out, we've included some prompts:
Write about an aspect of sexuality that was hidden to you when you were young but has opened to you in the aging process.
What form does sexual satisfaction take as an older person?
Think about your first sexual experience. Think about your last sexual experience. What has changed?
How have your sexual fantasies changed over the years?
Define intimacy. Then and now.
Make a sexual confession. How do you feel about it now compared to when it happened?
What was your favorite sexual position? How has that changed?
Accepted Formats:
Poetry: Traditional; experimental; metered or non; prose.
Must be between 10-35 lines…if you have a collection of poems, we will accept submissions in groups of 3-5.
Non-fiction prose and creative non-fiction essay or short story (1,500-3,000 words). Please Note for creative non-fiction: elements of magical realism to help tell your story are accepted. Overall, the base story-line should true to you as the writer. We trust you.
This is a blind submission process. All submissions must be in pdf or docx format, with title and page numbers, but no name. Times New Roman font 12.
What we don't want:
We reserve the right to request revision if the writing includes material that has the potential to damage another person's reputation.
Pieces that have been previously published will not be considered. We are looking for innovative, fresh and unique literary art. No simultaneous submissions will be accepted. We will notify you as soon as possible if your work has been accepted.
Once we have chosen the final pieces we will inform you via e-mail by _________________
We will then choose visual artists ages 18-40 to interpret the chosen work, translate each piece through visual art, so each writing will be part of a "set".
Every author included in the published anthology will be paid $20 and will be given a copy of the book.
Submission Guidelines for Artists
To be eligible for consideration you must be a female, female identifying or non-conforming sapien as young as 18 years and as wise as 40 years and reside in Oregon or Washington. We are eagerly seeking women of color in the hopes to represent a wider range of perspectives for this innovative anthology.
We are accepting submissions for samples of work that best represents your abilities as an artist
Ultimately, the finished pieces we're seeking will be work that focuses on eroticism, ecstasy, love, sex, body love; breakthroughs, lessons learned from aging and your sensual self, what it means to be a sensual, pleasure seeking person in an older body. Although we are not excluding trauma or "negative" experiences, our end goal to create a new language that defies ageism.
3-5 jpegs or pdfs of work that best represent your voice as an artist, with name of piece, medium, size and date (in that order). We will not accept links to online portfolios since this is a blind submission process. Do not include your name in the title of the piece or file name.
Artists chosen will be assigned an accepted piece of writing that they will then interpret/translate into visual art. There may be loose guidelines as far as sizing for consistency in the published anthology, which we'll include in the acceptance letter.


The past few days have been so hectic that time is beginning to lose all meaning. You're pretty sure that the latest stage in the conflict began Tuesday --- with rekard. How could you have been so blind?
Everything started off normal enough. The villagers chased rekard through the town and the woods until finally he was captured when he stopped briefly to scratch for insects in a forest clearing. He was taken back to the village commons and strapped to the burning post. But just as the benediction were being read, that Maxson boy spoke up.
"That's not Mr. rekard," he exclaimed. "It's just a giant chicken!" There was a collective titter through the crowd. "You're crazy, boy," called out someone from the back of the mob. "Just look at his hat. That's rekard's favorite hat!"
Young master Maxson took a closer look and shrugged. "I'll take your word that it was his favorite, but it's still just a giant chicken in a hat. Why can't you all see that?" Before he could say more his mother emerged and drug him away by his ear. The crowd applauded and rekard clucked nervously. his wattle twitching with fear.
When the torches approached the pyre, rekard began to try and break his bonds. As he struggled his hat slipped free into the reeds and hay piled at his feet. His disguise was broken and the town realized that the Maxson boy was right all along.
The demons? Giant chickens posing as townsfolk.
At least the pyre smelled better tonight.
After that, the nightly attacks grew more brazen. The Maxson boy was the first to be carried off, followed by his parents. Next were a few of the nameless mob, primarily the chicken farmers. They must have been trying to remove their expertise.
Day ends at 9pm Eastern (and GM processes when he can).
Blindsniper for the inexplicable vote yesterday.
Eager to hear what vision Smirker has today.

I found a good god-loving townie.. I wont reveal his/her name unless I have to though as it'd only paint a target on them.
Smirker, feel free to disagree but it's likely you vere protected last night and vill be mauled tonight. For that reason I think it vise to reweal your wision.
I'm good with blindsniper as one of our lynch candidates, given his absolutely bewildering vote. In the interest of having two in the running, I'd like to put forward Cam_Chase.
If the time jumps are intended to mean anything game-related, it's completely beyond me. Also - that narration. Kinda creepy! In a funny way of course.
There was confusion with the title not matching the actual day of the game. Time jumps fixed that.
Crassus wrote: Blindsniper for the inexplicable vote yesterday.
On ze vun hand, Blindsniper83's wote is too obvious a moof to make for somevun trying to hide. On ze ozer hand, vat choice are ve havink?
And vonce rekard claimed he vas possibly the miller last night, I knew he vas lyink. Zat is because I am ze miller. If anyvun else is counterclaimink, zey are lyink and you should be murdering zem and zen me if zey are not a volf.
Cato thinks the blindsniper was foolish whether he was villager or not. Cato thinks this might be "honest mistake", but Cato also sees that rekard was a Liar. Cato sees that could have been a very much closer vote. Cato likes the roasted chicken, but thinks maybe we stir-fry blindsniper.
Cato also sees the votes before visions come forward, and sees who talks after visions. Cato also thinks Cam_Chase is chicken, but Cato sees the second day that was like a first day. Does Cam Chase blindsniper if both are chickens?
Yikes, this easy of a bandwagon on Blindsniper makes me think we might be blowing our last misslynch. Even though I'm still not too trusting of PJ, I think it may be better to vote Cam_Chase.
I'd also like to hear from Visigoth. Rekard calling him out gives him a tiny bit of credibility, but it'd really be nice to have one of those rambling paragraphs instead of this game's flash cards. Especially since it's rather down to the wire.
I'm also fine with blindsniper83 at this time as his behavior does seem very suspicious.
Smirker wrote: I found a good god-loving townie.. I wont reveal his/her name unless I have to though as it'd only paint a target on them.
Why? Who do you think has a bigger target you, the Seer, or some random human? I really hate Seers that do this kind of crap and it really makes me suspect them more even though they are not counterclaimed.

Flash cards? If you haven't experienced the perfection of a movie that is Hudson Hawk I can't even talk to you any more. I just can't associate with heathens such as that. Begone foul creature. Oh and :p concerning my rambling paragraphs. I'll start posting them as is without editing and then you'll be sorry.
Not going to be much of a wall-o-text today. I kind of want to see Smirker killed to confirm that he's the Seer. I'm like 90% certain that it's not a bluff since no one has counterclaimed, but the whole "I found a human but not telling who" thing irks me something fierce. I can certainly see the argument for Blindsniper83 since that vote after a Seer reveal and being done to intentionally try and create a tie when vote manipulation exists is just insane. Which one could argue is a reason that he's not a wolf since why would a wolf do something so blatantly wolfy which of course leads to the inevitable flip-side which is exactly why a wolf would do something like that, etc. I can see it both ways so not sure how I feel about him right now.
I'm going with Cam_Chase again. He voted prior to Smirker revealing so that's fine, but he didn't change even though he made another post after Smirker revealed. Not amazing proof of anything of course since he's still learning the ropes, but still odd. His vote on Day 3 to push Meta4 up to 4 votes, 2 above anyone else, also bugs me. Not sure about the Day 2 one either since he did tie it up with Blindsniper83. But sides had just been revealed and might not have realized who his teammates were at that point. Plus Day 1's "throwaway" vote which broke the tie towards 7-Zark-7 is pretty much the opposite of a throwaway vote. Could simply be he's fallen into a spot in my mind that I will perpetually think of him as a wolf until I see which side he pops when he dies.
Flash cards? If you haven't experienced the perfection of a movie that is Hudson Hawk I can't even talk to you any more. I just can't associate with heathens such as that. Begone foul creature.
Heh, no I haven't. The ratings on that movie seem to be pretty resoundingly bad. But either way, Netflix doesn't stream it, so I doubt I'll see it any time soon.
And more on topic - if I was a vigilante, I'd probably attempt a shot at the beginning of the day, relatively soon. It wouldn't affect parity unless I've got my math wrong, and could settle some questions.
Regarding Visigoth, well honestly I feel that if the enemy doesnt go after me or feel they are less likely to be successful they'd take out the other known human. I was also concerned with the possibility of a chicken vigilante (fowly) taking out the other confirmed human.
But I guess l'll let those chips fall where they may as the enemy is also likely to search out other human special roles. Therefore, I'll go ahead and let the entire town know that it was (amusingly enough) Visigoth who I prayed for last night, and he was revealed to be a human (a.k.a. Villager).
blindsniper83 today, it's not adding up.
GM - are we going to have a single day weekend?

That'd be great, actually. Then we get a easy wolf.
Yea, this is part of why I went ahead and posted it. Because, it would be an even trade; even if done at EOD. And if used in another manner to finish the game as a form of vote manipulation - it wouldn't matter anyway.
One wolf vote manipulator is dead. We can't be sure they only had one, but I'm kind of betting that's out of the way now.
Cam_chase vote with more than one word please. Also Omega that is the most suspicious vote in the world. You're lucky I don't want to split the vote.

I know Day 1's being ignored by most people, but I was looking at it in case there were hints to how the wolves were selected. Might as well paste it here in case anyone else cares.
I'm not seeing solid patterns yet, even coloring in MEM as not-counter-claimed-Miller and Smirker as presumed-seer.
Also for tomorrow: at least one wolf definitely voted for rekard. He's too smart to miss that opportunity.

I would agree that is probable. However, I was talking more in the sense of using the vigi shot at EOD before to eliminate a vote in their favor.
I will vote for cam chase.
And if I read it right MEM has claimed human so he could be colored tentative human and see how that changes things.
Well, in case I don't make it tonight. good luck town. And have some delicious roast fowl at your victory celebration!

Q: *Vectorized* way to find indices of minimums for each column (excluding all already found indices) I have the following square DataFrame:
In [104]: d
Out[104]:
           a          b          c          d          e
a        inf   5.909091   8.636364   7.272727   4.454545
b   7.222222        inf   8.666667   7.666667   1.777778
c  15.833333  13.000000        inf   9.166667  14.666667
d   4.444444   3.833333   3.055556        inf   4.833333
e  24.500000   8.000000  44.000000  43.500000        inf

this is modified distance matrix, representing pairwise distance between objects ['a','b','c','d','e'], where each row is divided by a coefficient (weight) and all diagonal elements artificially set to np.inf.
How may I get a list/vector of indices like as follows in an efficient (vectorized) way:
d   # index of minimal element in the column `a`
a   # index of minimal element in the column `b` (excluding already found indices: [d])
b   # index of minimal element in the column `c` (excluding already found indices: [d,a])
c   # index of minimal element in the column `d` (excluding already found indices: [d,a,b])

I.e. in the first column we had found index d, so when we search for a minimum in the second column  we are excluding row with index d (found previously in the first column) - this would be a.
When we are looking for the minimum in the third column we are excluding rows with indices found previously (['d','a']) - this would be b.
When we are looking for the minimum in the fourth column we are excluding rows with indices found previously (['d','a','b']) - this would be c.
I don't need diagonal (inf) elements, so the resulting list/vector will contain d.shape[0] - 1 elements.

I.e. the resulting list will look like: ['d','a','b','c'] or in case of Numpy solution the corresponding numerical indices: [3,0,1,2]
It's not a problem to do it using slow for loop solution, but I can't wrap my head around a vectorized (fast) solution...

A: A loop is the only solution I can see here.
But you can use numpy + numba to optimise.
from numba import jit

@jit(nopython=True)
def get_min_lookback(A, res):
    for i in range(A.shape[1]):
        res[i] = np.argmin(A[:, i])
        A[res[i], :] = np.inf
    return res

arr = df.values

get_min_lookback(arr, np.zeros(arr.shape[1], dtype=int))

# array([3, 0, 1, 2, 0])

A: Here is my solution, which I'm sure is not the best one:
resulting list:
res = []

main function, that will search for a minimum in a column, excluding previously found indices and adding found index to res:
def f(col):
    ret = col.loc[~col.index.isin(res)].idxmin()
    if ret not in res:
        res.append(ret)

apply function to each column:
_ = d.apply(f)

result:
In [55]: res
Out[55]: ['d', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'e']

excluding last element:
In [56]: res[:-1]
Out[56]: ['d', 'a', 'b', 'c']


Hear the mix like never before.
The VIBE9 name is new, but I have been building custom in-ear monitors since 1990. My interest in designing and building custom in ears began while observing many musicians suffering hearing loss from loud stage monitors. So I conceived some of the very first custom in ear monitors to enter the market.
We custom select the driver combinations and our proprietary internal components to meet the specific audio response you want with a smooth clear signal.
Integrates the sciences of engineering and audiology with artistic craftsmanship. All of our monitors are custom tunable by you with your custom EQ monitor feed.
Our shell technology and design stops breakage and disconnects. Prevents ear wax from plugging ports and damaging drivers.
You imagine it, we make it. We mix our own color pigments and faceplate textures. Custom graphics and woodgrain are also available .
Here what our satisfied artists have to say!


This is fantastic!! Bought for 10 year old who absolutely loves it!!
Bought this for my 11 year old brother who loves odd things like this and it was perfect for him! He's even left all the tags on to make it 'more authentic' as a fire extinguisher, bless him!
My friends and I love the water botttles badly. The staff was very helpful to answer my questions before I placed an order. A very nice shopping experience. Should shop again and forward this shop to my familias and friends. Thanks a lot!
Bought for my little brother, the bottle is made to a high quality and feels sturdy. Creative design and well priced!
No need for plastic bottles anymore!
I bought 3 of these bottles, one for myself and the other two as gifts. I love the bottle, description says bottle is 600ml however it is actually 750ml which is even better. Love the design of the bottle, looks really cool. When I gave the bottle to the other recipients they also loved the bottle and it really helps to keep an eye on how much you're drinking throughout the day.
Sure, it's a great present and visually looks fantastic. However, I tried to use this a day-to-day flask unfortunately with a few downfalls. Firstly, don't try dish washing the bottle, as after a couple of cycles the paint melts off. Secondly, the plastic straw which connects to the screw-lid keeps popping out. This obviously means you have to unscrew the top and then get your juice/contents all over your hands. Shame really as it looks great, shame the build quality wasn't slightly more durable.
Really good water bottle at a great price. Now looking for the Yellow and Green ones!

Bias in mental health diagnosis gets in the way of treatment
by Howard N Garb + BIO
Howard N Garb
is director of the largest United States Air Force mental health screening programme. He is widely recognised as an expert on psychological tests and clinical judgment.
Edited by Matt Huston
Imagine the following scenario. The parents of a girl in middle school notice that she takes copious notes while studying, sometimes copying entire sections of her textbook. Her parents wonder if she has trouble learning. They decide to have her tested by a psychologist, who notes that she has cognitive weaknesses, but does not diagnose the girl as having a disorder or refer her for an evaluation for medication. The parents later learn that there is a controversy about whether attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is underdiagnosed in girls. Could a biased diagnostic process have missed the condition in their daughter?
In the context of diagnosis, bias is said to occur when diagnoses are more accurate for one group of patients (eg, males or white people) than for another (eg, females or Black people). It's not just a matter of diagnoses being made more or less frequently for one group. After all, if depression is actually more common in women than in men, differences in diagnosing rates should reflect that. But, in some cases, members of one group are more likely than others to receive an incorrect diagnosis – which could mean being diagnosed with a condition that they don't have, or not being diagnosed with a condition that they do have.
When bias in diagnosis does occur, it can happen for different reasons. It might be due to the bias of clinicians, the bias of psychological tests, or the bias of the diagnostic criteria that are used. In a recent review paper focused on clinician bias, I examined the most methodologically rigorous research on the subject conducted in the past 20 years. This body of work provides insights into when and how clinicians diagnose people differently based on the groups to which they belong.
The findings on ADHD are relevant for the scenario described above – the parents who wonder if their daughter's ADHD was overlooked – and they illustrate the challenge of detecting diagnostic bias. Recent, large-scale research in the United States found that boys were much more likely than girls to have been previously diagnosed by clinicians as having ADHD. But, in the researchers' own estimates of which children had ADHD, based on information collected from parents and teachers, the gender gap was significantly smaller. One interpretation of these results is that, in clinical practice, ADHD might be overdiagnosed in boys or underdiagnosed in girls. A competing interpretation, however, is that families are more likely to have boys evaluated for ADHD, perhaps because they can be more disruptive than girls. Thus, one interpretation suggests that clinician bias occurs, while the other interpretation does not.
To evaluate competing interpretations such as these, researchers need the experimental method. They have to manipulate the variables they are studying – the ones that are thought to result in bias – and hold the other variables constant.
It's possible that clinicians are less likely to expect female patients to have antisocial personality disorder
An experiment by researchers in Germany helps to fill out the picture on ADHD and gender bias. Participating clinicians – including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers – received nearly identical descriptions of a child. Some clinicians were told that the child was male, while others were told that the child was female. Researchers also varied the number of ADHD symptoms a child was described as having. When vignettes did not include enough symptoms to support a diagnosis of ADHD, diagnoses of ADHD were still made 22 per cent of the time for the boy version and 11 per cent of the time for the girl version. These results suggest that boys might be twice as likely as girls to be incorrectly diagnosed as having ADHD. Conversely, when vignettes did include enough symptoms to support a diagnosis of ADHD, diagnoses were made only 80 per cent of the time for the girl version and 77 per cent of the time for the boy version. Thus, it seems that we should be concerned about the risk that diagnoses of ADHD are missed – and, in some cases, improperly given – for both girls and boys.
In adults, the most notable instances of gender bias have been found in the diagnosis of two personality disorders: antisocial personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder. Antisocial personality disorder is characterised by aggressive and impulsive behaviour, while histrionic personality disorder is associated with dramatic and overly emotional behaviour. In a series of experimental studies conducted in the US, males were more likely to be misdiagnosed as having an antisocial personality disorder and females were more likely to be misdiagnosed with a histrionic personality disorder. It's possible that clinicians are less likely to expect female patients to have antisocial personality disorder and male patients to have histrionic personality disorder.
Experiments in the US and Europe have not, however, found clear evidence of gender bias in the diagnosis of other conditions of interest, such as borderline personality disorder, compulsive sexual disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mood disorders (eg, depression, bipolar disorder). And, while large-scale field studies on autism and conduct disorder have suggested that these conditions are either overdiagnosed in boys or underdiagnosed in girls, experimental data are needed to clarify these results.
What about race-related bias? Research conducted in the US indicates that race bias is a serious problem for the diagnosis of adult mental disorders – including for the diagnosis of PTSD, depression and schizophrenia. Preliminary data also suggest that eating disorders are underdiagnosed in Black teens compared with white and Hispanic teens.
When clinicians administered a psychological test to help them make a diagnosis, race bias was not observed
The misdiagnosis of PTSD can have significant economic consequences, in addition to its implications for treatment. In order for a US military veteran to receive disability compensation for PTSD from the Veterans Benefits Administration, a clinician has to diagnose the veteran. To learn if race bias is present in this process, a research team compared its own systematic diagnoses of veterans with diagnoses made by clinicians during disability exams. Though most clinicians will make accurate diagnoses, the research diagnoses can be considered more accurate, as the mental health professionals who made them were trained to adhere to diagnostic criteria and use extensive information. When veterans received a research diagnosis of PTSD, they should have also gotten a clinician's diagnosis of PTSD – but this occurred only about 70 per cent of the time.
More troubling is that, in cases where research diagnoses of PTSD were made, Black veterans were less likely than white veterans to receive a clinician's diagnosis of PTSD during their disability exams. There was one set of cases where bias was not evident, however. In roughly 25 per cent of the evaluations, clinicians administered a formal PTSD symptom checklist or a psychological test to help them make a diagnosis – and if this additional information was collected, race bias was not observed. This is an important finding. Clinicians will sometimes form a first impression of a patient's condition and then ask questions that can confirm – but not refute – their subjective impression. By obtaining good-quality objective information, clinicians might be less inclined to depend on their subjective impressions alone.
Race bias has also been found for other forms of mental illness. Historically, research indicated that Black patients and sometimes Hispanic patients were more likely than white patients to be given incorrect diagnoses of schizophrenia, while white patients were more often given correct diagnoses of major depression and bipolar disorder. During the past 20 years, this appears to have changed somewhat, with the most accurate diagnoses being made for Latino patients, the least accurate for Black patients, and the results for white patients somewhere in between.
The data are more limited for evaluating race bias in the diagnosis of child and adolescent mental disorders. There is evidence from residential treatment programmes that race bias occurs in the diagnosis of conduct disorder. Conduct disorder is characterised by antisocial behaviour and a disregard for basic social standards and rules. Unfortunately, without experimental data, we do not know if Black and Latino patients are overdiagnosed with the disorder or if white patients are underdiagnosed.
Any occurrence of bias in diagnosis is reason for concern. It could lead to the prescription of medication for a disorder a child does not have, a lack of financial support that a veteran is rightfully owed, or a diminished likelihood that a person receives appropriate therapy for their mental health condition.
For patients, the best advice might be to learn more about a disorder, and be ready to seek a second opinion
But there are steps that can be taken to reduce bias. For clinicians, one important factor is a sensitivity to cultural differences in the expression of mental disorders. For example, past research has indicated that Black people and white people who are depressed might tend to differ in how they show, and communicate about, certain symptoms of depression. Clinicians could also use symptom checklists or an evidence-supported psychological test when conducting an assessment. Organisations that conduct compensation and pension exams could make this a requirement if they have not already done so. Symptom checklists or tests can provide new information that might improve communication and help a clinician be more empathetic. Finally, clinicians could use screening questionnaires for depression or for any other disorder that tends to be underdiagnosed, to see if a patient needs further evaluation. In some clinics, this would be done with all patients, as these kinds of results are most valuable when clinicians have not considered whether a patient has a particular disorder.
To have a major impact on reducing bias in diagnosis, researchers should conduct double or quadruple the current number of studies in this area. In most areas of science, the number of studies increases exponentially over time. This has not been true for studies on bias and mental health diagnosis, at least with regard to studies that are sufficiently rigorous. In fact, the number of studies conducted on this subject has been static over the past 50 years. The Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements have recently led to a greater focus on inequities and injustices in other parts of society. If funding organisations actively support this area of research, we could see an increase in studies and, ultimately, a decrease in race bias and gender bias.
For patients and their families who are navigating the mental health care system and are concerned about bias, the best advice might be to learn more about a disorder that a patient has been diagnosed with or that it seems they might have, and to be ready to seek a second opinion. It is perfectly appropriate to learn about the formal diagnostic criteria for a disorder and to ask a clinician which criteria were met and which were not. By being informed, patients and their loved ones might be better able to avoid some of the potential pitfalls in diagnosis so that they can secure the treatment they need.

Q: jMeter error running from powershell. errorlevel=-1073741819 So I got this error when added additional parameters. Now I've got 14 parameters, when I had 11 it worked fine. Is there any way to increase number of parameters powershell can send to jmeter ?

A: The number of arguments doesn't really matter, you might be suffering from CreateProcess API function parameter length limit which is 32767 characters.
Also it might be the case there is a problem with your filesystem, follow How To Fix File System Error -1073741819 in Windows 10 article for troubleshooting steps.
Also be aware that if you're passing multiple JMeter Properties via -J command-line arguments you can avoid this by putting the properties values into user.properties file or create your own .properties file and pass it to JMeter via -q command-line argument.

Antarctic in climate crisis despite Treaty
On: 26 Giugno 2021 26 Giugno 2021 By: Gianni Varetto
When the Antarctic Treaty came into effect 60 years ago, its signatories had little idea how successful it would be. World leaders agreed to leave an uninhabited continent twice the size of Australia free from war, weapons and nuclear waste.
At that time, they declared that Southern Polar region, which is 98% ice and does not have an indigenous population, should belong to no Country and instead, be devoted to collaborative science. In the following decades, extra rules to stop companies mining minerals and drilling for oil turned Antarctica into the biggest nature reserve in the world.
Now climate change is undermining that success story. About 90% of the world's surface fresh water is locked up in the Antarctic Ice Sheet and, as the planet heats up, glaciers whose collapse would deluge coastal cities from New York to Jakarta are melting and growing less stable.
World leaders have pledged to limit warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius this century, but their current policies will heat the world by almost 3 Degree Celcius, according to Germany-based research group Climate Action Tracker. A study published in the journal Nature in May found that a global temperature rise of 3 C would lead to an "abrupt jump" in the pace of Antarctic ice loss that would, in turn, trigger "rapid and unstoppable" sea-level rise.
A second study, published in June in the journal Science Advances, found that an ice shelf that supports the 175,000-square-km (68,000-square-mile) Pine Island Glacier is breaking up into the water faster and faster. The glacier is responsible for more than a quarter of Antarctica's contribution to global sea level rise and will melt faster if it collapses into warm waters. "If the ice shelf's rapid retreat continues, it could further destabilise the glacier far sooner than would be expected" the authors wrote.
