Dr. Rangarajan made me feel comfortable from the start. He is very professional and made my experience at the doctor fun. I was able to move forward with confidence knowing he is always there if I have questions.
When you live in the Mid-south, it is not hard to find someone who has experienced a problem with chronic sinus infection. It is less common to find a person who had been totally satisfied with the course of treatment their doctors have provided. The level of care I have received from Dr. Beckford has been exceptional. I am healthier now than I have been in months because of the treatment they have provided me. I highly recommend either of these physicians to anyone searching for a doctor who is highly knowledgeable and professional, and blessed with kindness, patience, and a sense of humor.
With the holidays coming up, I needed a dermatologist – and fast! I called to make an appointment with Dr. Allison Jones with UT Dermatology and was seen within two days. She was incredibly knowledgeable and super easy to talk to – with the BEST bedside manner. I'm definitely going back and am recommending her to all of my friends and family.


We finally made it to 'The Kitchen Table Cafe and Bake'. Tucked away on Moray Place, I have often driven past this cafe and thought i'd like to try it. It was a very sunny Friday when we popped in for a visit and with the large glass street frontage it made for a warm and bright spot to dine - sun glasses were a must!
When we arrived at the cafe, although split over two levels it is pram friendly and with the helpful staff, they made it very easy to accommodate most group arrangements. From small tables, to couch areas to large spacious kitchen tables, 'The Kitchen Table Cafe and Bake' creates an easy going relaxed atmosphere.
We set ourselves up in the couch area and were provided with a toy box and high chair by the cheery welcoming staff. We downed out Common ground coffees and delicous Fiands greedly (i will be back for more).
Various cabinet food options as well as menu options made to order, as all food is made on the premises means they can accommodate most dietary requirements. When we headed out the door squeezing past the lunch time rush I noticed they also make Fresh juices, this will also be on my list to try next time!

King and kingdom will never end.
Her demeanor was humble and meek, and Gabriel took no issue with answering her inquiry. His answer resounds with the OT picture of the glory of God hovering/brooding over the tabernacle. That's the picture he gives of the Most High's shadowing of her life.
If all of this seemed impossible for Mary to believe, verse 37 shows her that even her barren and old relative was with child. Impossible is never a descriptor of the Most High God.

Has The Performance Of The S&P 500 Always Been So Top Heavy?
Last Updated August 3, 2017 by by
Technology stocks, particularly large capitalization ones, have been on a tear as the following chart shows.
Since there is overlap between the two indices, I was curious to know how the largest technology companies have impacted the overall S&P 500 return.
Over the past six months, the S&P 500 has produced a return of approximately 9.60%. The index is capitalization-weighted. This means that the more valuable a company, the higher weight it has within the index. The index is rebalanced quarterly. The following table shows the companies with the 10 highest weightings:
Source: http://slickcharts.com/sp500
Company Weight
Apple 3.896517%
Microsoft 2.573882%
Amazon 1.882054%
Facebook Class A 1.712969%
Johnson & Johnson 1.676605%
Exxon Mobil 1.65391%
Berkshire Hathaway Class B 1.518357%
JP Morgan Chase 1.483905%
Alphabet Class A 1.407767%
Alphabet Class C 1.367334%
Apple 37.92%
Microsoft 14.55%
Amazon 30.09%
Facebook Technically there are only nine companies represented since two classes of Alphabet's stock are counted. I want to focus on the technology companies for this analysis. These are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, and Alphabet (formerly Google). Assuming the weights haven't changed over the last six months which I know is not accurate but a good working assumption for this analysis, let's see how these companies did compared to the rest of the index.
These companies produced the following six-month returns:
Alphabet 25.68%
If we take their weighting times their six-month return then we can come up with the weighted return for these five companies. Combined, these companies represent 12.84% of the S&P 500. They have produced a weighted return of 3.57% during the past six months or 36.8% of the index return. The other 495 stocks have produced a weighted return of 6.03%, or 1.2% on average. In some ways, the S&P 500 is a form of momentum investing in which more money is added to the better-performing stocks and moved away from the weaker performers. The larger the company, the greater the weight, and the more index funds need to buy of it to keep adhering to the index weights. Strength begets strength.
The iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor is a momentum-oriented ETF. Its approach is to buy what is working and weed out those stocks that are not. So what percentage of the ETF is invested in the five securities listed above? Remember their combined S&P 500 weighting is 12.84%. As of the latest reporting, the fund's allocation to those five companies was 21.30%. Its allocation was approximately 70% higher than their S&P 500 weighting.
The following chart shows how these five companies have been generating significant and growing excess return since the beginning of the year.
Has the performance of the S&P 500 always been so top heavy? One way of measuring this is to compare to the return from the equally weighted S&P 500 ETF (RSP) which has an approximate allocation of 0.2% of every company in the index to the S&P 500 which is capitalization weighted. The following table shows the returns during different time frames.
S&P 500 Equal Weight Difference
3 Months 1.82% 0.36% 1.44%
1 Year 14.99% 14.14% 0.85%
2 Years 13.61% 11.32% 2.29%
5 Years 89.03% 97.55% (8.52%)
10 Years 60.53% 79.66% (19.13%)
What's clear from the table is that something changed over the last two years which shifted the trend from S&P 500 underperformance relative to the equally-weighted index to outperformance. Let's look at the five tech titans and see how they have performed over the last two years.
Amazon 130.90%
Facebook 87.77%
Assuming the weights have not changed over the past two years which I know is not accurate but still probably not materially off from reality, then these five companies have produced approximately 58% of the S&P 500 return over the past two years. Clearly, a top heavy, momentum based strategy has paid off. It's interesting to see how Apple has only tracked the S&P 500 during the last two years. Given that it has significantly outperformed it over the past six months, then this means it underperformed the index for the 18 months prior to that.
I will leave you with one more interesting chart showing how the 10 largest companies have produced more than 50% of the return over the last month.
Given how large these companies are, I don't see a major change in the weightings even if they have significant pullbacks. It would seem like investors have some pretty heavy exposure to these companies influencing the index going forward. If they pull back or stagnate, the weights of the other companies aren't meaningful enough to make a big difference in the returns. It might make sense to have more exposure to an equally weighted index if you think these companies may underperform.
Over to You:
Will there be a future pullback or will the S&P 500 remain top heavy?

The Hilary Duff Film Re-Enactment Festival
Review by Emma Brand on 24 Jan 2019
If you have not seen the films the performances are based on, this will be the strangest introduction to them. I would therefore suggest, in classic early 2000s style, popping out to the video store and renting the movies.
The title of this show truly does not lie; it is a literal one (sometimes two) person re-enactment of the chosen movie. For my event it was The Lizzie McGuire Movie.
Playing her cards right, Nicola Macri leans into her audience humour, proving that there is (a sold out) audience for these niche performances. Almost like a group therapy session, Macri throws the audience back into the midst of early 2000s, to the height of Hillary Duff's heyday.
Jam-packed full of millennial absurdity, this show really speaks to those who grew up in the 2000s. If anything, it demonstrates how a group of millennials can come together and truly bond over one shared similarity.
The audience interaction was perhaps the best I have ever experienced at a Fringe show. Macri consensually invites the audience to play along, generating an animated atmosphere.
To allow the show to progress, Macri does not force the audience to participate, but rather uses the participation as a way to add a bit of extra spice to the already compelling performance.
Macri has a natural talent for not just surviving but gliding through technical errors. As seen by her unfazed approach to her malfunctioning microphone, Macri utilises the opportunity to show off her natural talent for quick reactionary humour.
Nicola Macri is also performing Cadet Kelly ('now with overt lesbianism') and A Cinderella Story.
This is a festival celebrating the achievements of Hillary Duff, so if you attend one performance you can receive discounted ticket to another night (yay, budget friendly!).
Emma is back in action for round two at FringeFeed. She enjoyed it so much last year, she is now sporting a fringe herself! Now armed and ready with a Bachelor's degree, Emma is relying on her humour and zany attitude to fumble her way through more adult life.


Science Night: An Evening of Drunken Experiments returns this April 12th to the beautiful Palladium Theater at Hales Ales in Fremont.
This is most fun you can have without breaking the laws of physics and the only show of its kind!
Doors open at 7 and the Stage Show starts at 8 sharp.
Science Night is a hands on Science Experiment free-for-all, with dozens of ever changing exhibits to try. Blow things up with air! Levitate metal! Make homemade lightbulbs, cube-shaped bubbles, 3-d art, float stuff on air, and more! Ever wanted to shatter flowers with liquid nitrogen? See sound waves? Tesla Coils? Jacobs Ladder? Oh my! We have got you covered. This is not a lecture... instead its a fully interactive science fair. Come ready to have your mind blown.
As if that weren't enough, we have AMAZING mainstage performances by Johnny Jetpack of America's Got Talent, The Mysterious Dr. Owl and his Tesla Coils, Secret Special Guests and Isaac Vicknair, part time wizard.
Be on time to catch all the fun and dress for a mess, as some of the experiments are hilariously messy.
PLEASE NOTE: Science Night always sells out. There will possibly be some limited tickets at the door, but it is strongly encouraged to get your tickets early.


FRISCO, Texas – This has to be a record for the fastest the torches have ever been lit by an NFL fanbase.
The adage says that you never want to overreact to Week 1, and that is true. It's also fair to be alarmed by what we saw last week in Carolina. Eight points and 232 yards of offense, when this team is as healthy as it might be all year, isn't a lot to get excited about.
As usual, I'm going to fall somewhere in the middle. It's 100 percent acceptable to have concerns, but it's probably a little early to be starting petitions for regime change in mid-September. A month from now we'll have a much clearer idea of whether this team is any good. Until then, it seems prudent to take a deep breath – or five.
1. I know that Landon Collins is in the news for supposedly trash talking Dak Prescott, but that's not what worries me heading into Week 2.
Throw on the tape of the Giants' game against Jacksonville, and you're not going to see much of Collins where you traditionally find a safety. New York's Pro Bowler was making his living in the box, where he could wreak the most amount of havoc. He was blitzing off the edge, clogging the middle, sniffing out passes near the line of scrimmage and just generally making a nuisance of himself right where the Cowboys don't want him – right in the thick of the run game.
We saw how much trouble the Cowboys had with extra defenders in the box last week. Now obviously, any team that's facing Ezekiel Elliott is going to commit to the run. But it feels like another level to deploy a safety almost exclusively in the box, where he can theoretically be an extra hat on the ball carrier.
This is obvious, but Collins & Co. are going to make it another tough night on Elliott if Dak Prescott can't make the Giants pay in the passing game.
2. Speaking of Dak, I'm not even sure what to type about the Cowboys' quarterback heading into Week 2.
I have long expressed my confidence that Prescott can continue to play at a Pro Bowl level, and I still hold that confidence. But I'm not going to lie to you and say it wasn't shaken by that game against the Panthers.
It's not losing, or even losing ugly that will do that. But the missed reads, reluctance to throw and inaccuracy that we saw on Sunday was deeply concerning. Those are throws and plays that we've seen Dak make before – even against good defenses – and he couldn't do it.
Again, one week is too soon to write the book on anything. I don't think the Giants' pass rush will be quite as fearsome as Carolina's – although their secondary is markedly better. Dak is going to have his work cut out for him again.
In a weird way, though, watching the Panthers game back restores some of my faith. A lot of the missed plays from Week 1 were thinks we've seen Dak Prescott do 1,000 times. Perhaps he just didn't trust his protection, perhaps it was a case of preseason rust. The Cowboys don't need Dak to do the impossible to get the chains moving, they just need him to make plays he's made before.
He can do that. Regardless of how ugly it looked in Week 1, these are fixes I think he can make in Week 2.
3. At the very least, you can always count on Dak to have the right response to the situation.
Prescott faced a hoard of reporters on Thursday afternoon, as might be expected after a disappointing performance. He fielded plenty of questions about his demeanor and his preparation after digesting his performance in Week 1.
Easily the best quote of the interview, though, was his response to this week's comments from Landon Collins. The Giants' Pro Bowl safety said on Wednesday that the Giants' goal is to limit Ezekiel Elliott enough to put the game in Prescott's hands.
"If we do that, put the ball into Dak's hands, I think we have a better shot at winning," Collins said.
Only time's going to tell if he's up to the challenge on the field. But you've got to love his approach off of it.
4. That Dez Bryant would be watching the On the Run II tour in an AT&T Stadium suite with Jerry Jones is about the least surprising thing in the world – and no it doesn't mean the Cowboys are planning a Dez comeback.
First of all, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are amazing. I've seen both of their tours live, and it's easily the best concert experience I've ever had. Hits on hits on hits, not to mention the choreography – and the short films! Holy cow, the short films. It's like getting a concert and a movie-going experience in one.
Anyway, back to Dez. This isn't surprising because we've heard Dez say about 10 times, and once as recently as last week, that he doesn't hold any grudges with Jerry Jones.
This is Jerry Jones at his finest – the master of relationship-building and of people skills. The man has inducted several of his players into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, because of what he meant to them. And at the end of the day, Dez Bryant is one of this franchise's best-ever.
Wherever his career is going from here, Jerry Jones wants Dez Bryant to be able to return to AT&T Stadium in an alumni blazer at some point – and maybe eventually see his name go up in the Ring of Honor. The guy doesn't burn bridges easily, and Tuesday night serves as a reminder.
But also, Jay-Z and Beyoncé forever.
4. If he plays his cards right, DeMarcus Lawrence is going to be in line for a new contract by Sunday night.
If you're looking for bright spots from Week 1, Lawrence was certainly one of them. The guy didn't look like he lost a step off his Pro Bowl season, as he racked up seven tackles, three tackles for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery against a depleted Panthers offensive line.
Lawrence didn't want to talk about it after the game, but I will: the dude looked like an utterly dominant, havoc-wreaking wrecking ball. And yes, the Panthers offensive line is not among the best in the NFL – but Lawrence will get several more opportunities against leaky units.
Case in point: enter Ereck Flowers and the Giants' offensive line this week. Flowers has long been maligned as a misusage of a first-round pick, and he looked like that again in Week 1 against the ferocious Jacksonville pass rush.
As effective as Kawann Short was for Carolina against Dallas, I think Lawrence has the opportunity to do that to Flowers. This is a decided mismatch, and the Cowboys would benefit greatly if Lawrence takes advantage.
Last year, Lawrence got a jump on his Pro Bowl campaign by tallying an absurd 6.5 sacks in the first three weeks of the season. He just might add a couple to his tally on Sunday, and then his bid for a new contract will really start picking up steam.
5. Chalk it up to the quirks of the NFL scheduling formula, but it's wild to me that the first meeting between the Cowboys and Giants is going to happen this Sunday, Sept. 16 – and then they won't see each other again until the season finale.
I guess there's not necessarily anything wrong with that, but it's just strange. Typically, when the Cowboys have played the Giants early in the season, the second meeting has always been at the midpoint – either in October or November.
It's been that way going back to 2012, when this impressive run of early games against the Giants really started. Dallas opened at New York that year, and the rematch was Oct. 28. In 2013, the two teams opened the season in Dallas and rematched the week before Thanksgiving. In 2015, after the dramatic last-second touchdown in the season opener, they played again on Oct. 25.
Even last year, the second meeting was a full month earlier at the start of December.
Like I said, I'm not sure this really means anything, it's just a long time to wait to see a divisional opponent. This year's games against Washington are just four weeks apart, and the two games against Philly are a mere three weeks apart.
It's a damn near guarantee that both Dallas and New York are going to be completely different teams by Dec. 30, when they finally meet again. Hopefully for the Cowboys, it'll be for the better.
6. We've talked plenty about the Cowboys' issues with tackling against the Panthers. When Sean Lee has multiple missed tackles in a game, you know there's an issue. The guy is basically a lock to make every play he has a chance at, so it just might not be your day if even he is struggling.
I was curious, though. The rigors of the NFL don't really allow for teams to tackle in practice – at any point in the year, really. But certainly not during the six-day grind to get ready for games. There's just too much at stake to risk players to injury working on your fundamentals during a game week.
So I asked Lee: what exactly do you work on to improve tackling, considering you can't actually tackle in practice?
"You can work on tackling – everything up to taking someone to the ground, when it comes to footwork, putting your body on people, doing everything except actually dumping someone on the ground," he said.
Lee said it's not fun watching bad tape, but it can be useful.
Just a hunch on my part, but I think Lee's gonna be alright.
7. Much like the Cowboys, I'm not sure you can open a season worse than what I showed with my picks last week. Hopefully that's a good thing, because it means I don't know anything about what to expect from the league this year. You never want to overreact to Week 1, but it was fun to see so much parity around the league.
With the NFL Draft still to go, what does the Cowboys' offense look like at the moment? Let's try to project the starting lineup for 2019.
Here is the irony of the 2019 NFL Draft for the Dallas Cowboys, the annual doings now just six days away, er, seven for the Cowboys unless something drastically unforeseen occurs.
Previo al draft, los Cowboys han reunido un grupo de jugadores bastante talentosos. A continuación proyectamos la alineación titular para la defensa 2019.

Q: The Linux + Windows Issue I face a problem. A common one. I want to use Linux for pretty much everything it's good for. But I also want to use Windows for the things Linux currently can't do.
I'd like to be able to instantly, or near-instantly switch between a Windows and a Linux installation.
What do you think is the best way to get that done?

*

*I will not accept Wine or Dual-Boot as an answer. I don't want to restart to switch between OSes

*I will not accept a "Traditional" Virtual Machine setup as an answer either.
(By traditional I mean just installing Linux in a virtual machine software in Windows and calling it a day, for a VM solution to be acceptable, I need to be able to seamlessly switch between Windows and Linux, and the VM needs to be at least nearly indistinguishable from a real physical installation. Using a physical partition for the installation is not an issue.)
This is what i tried, and the most feasible solution i've found so far:
I set up Linux, then tried to set up a Windows virtual machine with VGA(PCI)-Passthrough, passing through my 670GTX gaming card to the Windows machine, and using my 550GTX on the Linux host. I tried, and tried, but it seems I'm just not proficient enough to get it right without dedicating like a week to trying again repeatedly.
I followed this. It's not easy to follow, and even if I would succeed I get the feeling that updating my Linux system would become a problem since it requires a custom kernel, and I don't know a way to automate that process in arch. (Only thing I know that can automatically update a custom configured kernel with a system update is Gentoo)
I tried that and as you can see, failed. It seems like the best solution that I could find, but since I'm having no luck getting it to work I'm thinking of alternatives, alternatives like:

*

*Is it possible to have a compatibility layer (like Windows) using the original Windows system files rather than open source written ones (like Windows does). That way I could simply use the real Windows files that I've got in my Windows installation and get rid of my compatibility issues on Linux. Sounds too good to exist, so I'm guessing this can't be done. (Yet)

*Is there any way I could set Windows up so that I can switch between consoles like in Linux (Ctrl+Alt+F1-F7 in Linux). And use that functionality to switch between Windows and a virtual installation of Linux?

*

*If I get that or something similar working, is there a way I could pass through one of my graphics cards to the virtual Linux installation from Windows?

Can 1 or 2 be done to your knowledge?  (so I can test it) Do you have another idea?

A: As people already said the best is to have 2 separate boxes and run the respective OS on each of them. File sharing between the 2 can be achieved via smb/cifs/nfs/nas whatever you are comfortable with.
If you have good enough HW i would suggest using XEN with 3 VM's (one linux, one windows and one thin client) with passtrough for one of the video cards (that can be picky to boot at the start though).
On the thin client run nothing it is just so you can have access to video and stuff. Everything else is ran on the heavy VM's via either X11 forwarding/VNC/rdesktop.
To seamlessly integrate windows apps in linux env (and have a windows server) look at WinConn (http://stanev.org/winconn/)
Also an option is to look at Ulteo OVD http://www.ulteo.com/home/

A: This is an experimental thing, not reliably working as of now :
Use kexec. See this SU question.
It's a way to transfer control from one kernel to another. At the very least you can skip 16-bit mode completely.
There's a windows version too.
This will be bleeding-edge of course, but this is the cleanest unless you actually want to use both simultaneously.

A: Have you had a look at coLinux? It does basically what you want by running a Linux instance in windows, but without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine.
It's not very easy to setup, and as far as I can see from their website only works with older kernels, but it might be able to do what you want.

A: As Darius commented, using a KVM switch is a very viable option if you have the resources for it. But I have looked for alternatives, and found some.
An alternative to KVM is setting up a dedicated windows computer, hooking it up to the same router/switch as your Linux machine and streaming it which can be done with various tools. I have the most faith in the streaming software Valve(Steam) is currently working on.
Another solution is CoLinux, a good alternative if you're running a 32 bit windows installation, there are however 2 problems with it.
1: It cannot access your GPU directly. (And therefore X needs to be installed on windows, which can be done with Xming or Cygwin/X)
2: I don't see much activity in it's development since 2011, and as such it's growing obsolete fast.
Another is Cygwin, which will allow you to access some Linux programs (including X) on Windows. It's flaw is however that programs need to be ported to it to work, so it'll never support half as many programs as Wine does.
Finally, it's VirtualBox's Seamless Mode, get that + VGA-Passthrough on VirtualBox working and you've got a seamless Linux + Windows setup granted you have capable hardware. Of course if running games is not a big deal then you don't need the VGA-Passthrough part, just enough RAM and CPU power to support both operating systems.

A: I think your best bet would be using Windows as main OS and install Cygwin.
But really, what you are asking for can not be done, but this would be the closest I could think of.
Is it gaming that you need to do on Windows? Else most applications has a free alternative. :)

Solutions Security Secure Remote Access
Secure, direct user access to enterprise applications in hybrid environments
Digital transformation efforts have led to most enterprises having applications, services and data distributed across data centers and public cloud. Traditional network-centric approaches such as VPNs for remote access are ill-suited for new business scenarios where there are more applications and data outside the network than inside. Further, VPNs deliver wide open access to all applications inside the network, vastly increasing the potential for lateral movement and breaches. VPNs cannot enforce per-application access based on identity, thereby exposing large attack surfaces to malicious actors.
ColorTokens Xaccess enables Zero Trust-based application-centric access for enterprises, avoiding the security risks associated with network-centric access.
Xaccess offers higher security, lower complexity, and an enhanced user experience for today's business scenarios that cannot be addressed by VPNs.

Identity-based secure remote access
Xaccess provides Zero Trust-based (Never Trust, Always Verify) secure remote access to specific applications even on the same network segments. The connection is allowed only after authenticating the user's identity and verifying the device security posture. Users are only permitted to access the applications that they are authorized to access, based on least privilege policies. With Xaccess, applications are never exposed to the internet and are hidden from bad actors and unauthorized users.
Seamless user experience
Unlike traditional VPNs that are complex to administer and provide a poor user experience, Xaccess provides significant benefits in user experience, agility, adaptability and ease of policy management. Cloud-based Xaccess places the security controls where the users and applications are - in the cloud. For cloud or on-premises applications the same granular access control is enforced with the same interface, making the user experience seamless and effortless, regardless of the location, network and application being accessed. This normalizes the user experience – on-prem or off-prem.
Cloud-based ease of adoption
100% cloud-delivered and SaaS-based, Xaccess delivers scalability, low latency and low complexity. Deployed in minutes and simple to manage, the benefits of Xaccess are immediate. There is no VPN or appliance required, and no changes to firewall or network configurations. Users can access specific applications for which they authorized and are automatically connected to applications after successful authentication.

Q: I2C Isolation using Switch In my design I have a controller which is interfaced to the processor (or SoC) using I2C. The processor has internal pull ups for I2C lines so I don't need to put external pull ups.
The voltage rail for controller is on regardless of the state of processor (on or off).
The voltage rail for the processor is on when the system is on.
The issue is when the system is off the I2C lines of controller are in undefined state and it consumes more power. This issue is not observed when the system is on and the I2C lines are in a valid state.
If I put pull ups outside powered by an always on rail then I see a leakage on the pull up resistors to the processor I2C pins - possibly leakage through clamping diodes for the processor pins.
How can I isolate the I2C lines of processor and controller without causing leakage and undefined state?
I2C lines for controller and processor work at 1.8 V.

A: (I can't comment yet - not enough points, so this is more of a comment than an answer.)
Please clarify the power supply conditions for the SoC and the controller when both are on and when "the system is off."
- When "on," are they both operating at the same voltage (what voltages)?
- And when the system is "off", you mean the SoC is off and the controller is on?  From your comment that the I2C lines are in an undefined state, that appears to be the case (the SoC supply is off, so the I2C lines are no longer pulled up).
The leakage you are seeing is from the controller supply to the SoC I2C pins' ESD diodes to the SoC supply.  If you check, the SoC supply is probably not at ground but is pulled up a little by the external pullups you added.
By "it consumes more power," are you referring only to the current in the pullup resistors or also to supply current of the controller IC?  CMOS input logic needs to be driven at a supply or ground level to avoid drawing current (crowbar current or shoot-through current) that occurs when the input is somewhere between the supply and ground voltages.
Here's an option that might avoid an isolator:
Add external pull down resistors on the I2C lines to ground.  Make these weak, on the order of 100kohm.  If the SoC is not powered, then this will be sufficient to ensure the lines are pulled to ground and the leakage in the controller input logic will be avoided.  And when the SoC is on, there will be additional leakage current through these, e.g. 3.3V/100k x 2 = 66uA.  If that is negligible in your power budget then this might be a decent solution.

A: There is a specific point of importance here: the very nature of I2C as a bus (and perhaps the only bus) specifically designed to allow zero leakage with one or more chips on the bus powered off. I2C accomplishes this by being an open collector bus and open collector means that there is nothing pulling the data lines high inside a compliant IC. But alas, a generic digital IO pin in a microcontroller or wherever, which can be driven high or low, cannot satisfy this condition.
A push-pull digital pin has a P channel high side driver and protection structures connected to the power supply rail, which means that such a pin will always leak current towards the power supply rail if the voltage of that rail is less than the voltage at the pin, minus a diode's forward voltage. Such pins have a VI,MAX condition of VCC+0.6 volts or such stated in the datasheet. Can you check if the datasheet states such a condition for the pins? If it does, in reverse it means that the minimum for VCC in such an IC is the I2C bus voltage minus 0.6 volts.
As a consequence, microcontroller can have an I2C -style port (which is not I2C logo certified), or use generic I/O pins to communicate with I2C devices, but it is only logically compatible with I2C when the microcontroller is powered up. I2C compliant devices must use specific IO pads for the I2C signals and they cannot have the high side driver, and I suspect pull-ups of any kind would be at least problematic.
If you want to take advantage of I2C's zero leakage powerdown properties, you must either use only specific I2C ports or convert a generic IO pin to an open collector (or open drain) -style arrangement somehow, cutting all current paths to the high side. It would seem to me that if you would have a signal of sufficiently higher voltage than your I2C bus voltage of 1.8 volts (3 volts or more), you could use NFETs (n-channel, enhancement-type mosfet, the 'normal' kind) to "cut" the SCL and SDL lines when the SoC has no power. You would connect the NFETs with source towards the SoC, drain towards the bus and gate to a 3 volt enable signal. Choose an NFET with a sufficiently low threshold voltage so that the channel is surely conducting when the signal is at 1.8 volts. So at most 1.2 volts if your enable signal is 3 volts.

A: A) an I2C isolator should do the trick.  I have had good luck with http://www.analog.com/en/interface-isolation/digital-isolators/adum1250/products/product.html
B) Internal pullups on processors tend to be weak pullups, and the resistance may be too high for reliable i2c function.  You might consider external pullups of the right size.

According to a 2015 report of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Maharashtra state with India's biggest economy, also has the highest number of polluted river stretches in the country. And, at 161, it also has the most number of cities and towns along polluted stretches.
Of the 156 locations where the CPCB has set up its monitoring units on the 49 rivers and tributaries in the state, 153 do not meet the water quality criteria, according to the CPCB. The MPCB has issued more than 5,300 show-cause notices to erring factories between 2011 and 2017. Toxic waste has been choking the state's rivers, and fishing communities complain that their daily catch is only 10% of what it used to be.
As per a report, MPCB has not used 80 per cent of funds given for environment protection. In 2015-16, it got Rs393.8 crore from the govt but it spent only Rs68.26 crore. In 2016-17, of the Rs350 crore it got, only Rs80 crore was spent. For 2017-18, the department has set a budget of Rs150 crore.
The agency was also found grossly understaffed and poorly equipped as there were 249 vacant posts. Of a total of 840 openings, only 591 were filled. Fifteen posts of regional officer across the state were vacant, 36 of sub-regional officers and 32 of regional inspectors were also empty.
Govt claims it will enforce stringent laws to tackle river pollution In Sept. 2017, adopting a multi-pronged strategy to tackle river pollution, the state govt, while pledging to make higher budgetary allocations, has decided to preserve and rejuvenate the state's rivers by enforcing stringent laws to prevent dumping of untreated waste and undertaking a plantation drive. Guidelines are being reworked on putting a cap on construction activities along river fronts and following stringent norms. An integrated policy to revive rivers and make them pollution-free is underway. Desilting of rivers that have shrunk has also been included in the plans.
-The water resources proposal under consideration suggests the recycling of water for agriculture and treatment of water by local bodies before allowing it to flow into rivers. However, the state government's foremost concern is to make sewage treatment commercially viable.
Another assessment by MPCB found the water at the mouth of the Mithi river and Versova beach to be the dirtiest, with pollution levels almost 13 times above the safe limit. As per MPCB, untreated industrial waste pumped out by effluent treatment plants from industrial areas and domestic waste from residential areas are responsible for the high levels of pollution. MPCB officials said 30 per cent of the city's sewage is not being treated and ends up in the seas through outfalls.
Kasadi River Pollution: Taloja CETP Issue In Feb. 2017, after MPCB identified that chemical effluents from CETP at Taloja were polluting the Kasadi river, the board have directed to Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) to cut 40 per cent of the water supply to industrial plants from Feb. 1. According to the letter issued to the industrial plants, earlier they were receiving 24-hour water supply but after MPCB's directive, the plants would not receive water from 12am to 8am, effective from Feb 1.
As per latest report, CETP at Taloja is rated as the worst-performing among 25 such units in the state. The plant has been pumping out untreated waste into Vashi creek. Given its environmental impact, the MPCB board had sought remedial action by the MIDC however, there has been no improvement in its capacity or maintenance.
Supreme Court Ulhas, Waldhuni rivers almost died due to pollution In August 2017, the Supreme Court rapped the state government for allowing the Ulhas and Waldhuni rivers to degrade gradually because of pollution. The apex court also asked the principal secretary, state environment department and member secretary of the MPCB to be present in person during the next hearing on Sept. 18.
The western bench of the NGT in its July 2015 order held Dombivili Industries Association (DBESA), Ulhas Nagar Municipal Corporation, the KalyanDombivili Municipal Corporation, the Ambarnath Municipal Council and others guilty of polluting Ulhas river with untreated effluents. The judgement imposed a penalty of Rs96 crore to restore the river. The SC, however, said that the penalty amounts may not be deposited at this stage.
The court also ordered the two state government officers to appear before the court only after taking stock of the revival plan for the rivers after consulting the director, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, concerned authorities from the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur and the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO).
Pune rivers most polluted in Maharashtra The latest MPCB report published in Feb 2017 mentioned that Pune region has maximum number of river stretches where the water quality index is either "bad" or "very bad" due to industrial and domestic pollution. Among the rivers that were found having bad quality of water were Mutha, Pavana, Indrayani and Bhima, all part of the Bhima basin. The Bhima river which brings water into Ujani is one of 49 rivers in the state, whose stretches are found to have high amount of pollutants by CPCB.
Citizens worried with little progress on cleaning Pune's rivers Pune district has five rivers, namely, Mula and Mutha being the main rivers and the three smaller rivers in the form of Ram Nadi, Dev Nadi and Ambil nullah. Pune's two rivers, Mula and Mutha rivers originate in the Sahyadri ranges and traverse across the city and district. The two rivers further meet and upon their confluence Mula-Mutha river is formed which drains into the Bhima river. The total length of these three rivers traversing through the city is about 44 km. Mutha river has three dams- Khadakwasla, Varasgaon and Temghar while Mula river has Mulshi dam that controls the release of water in the rivers. The rainfall only in the catchment area below the dams finds its way into the rivers.
Also see the link for Gumrah a 2016 Hindi documentary on Mutha river by INTACH.
The Mula, Mutha rivers have been identified by the CPCB among country's polluted rivers.
PMC ready with Rs 2,618 crore river beautification plan In the first week of July 2017, PMC proposed a Rs 2,618-crore plan to beautify the 44-km of river stretch passing through the civic limits. The project covered both side of 44-km of river stretch passing through the city — including 22.2-km stretch of Mula, 10.4-km stretch of Mutha and 11.8-km stretch of Mula-Mutha river. The plan envisaged creation of nine more STPs apart from 11 existing in the city in addition to construction of Ghats and embankments along Pune rivers. Seems like this is similar to the controversial Sabarmati River Front Development Plan, which was essentially get the land out of the river bed and flood plain for the real estate development.
Nagpur: Nag River Rs 1,600cr Nag riverfront development (AFD) – French Development Agency- has completed survey of Nag river and is likely to submit detailed project report (DPR) of riverfront development plan in April, according to municipal commissioner Ashwin Mudgal. AFD is likely to provide Rs 1,054.58 crore of total estimated project cost of Rs 1,600 crore. Under this plan, NMC will beautify both sides of Nag river, provide recreation facilities, develop pilgrimage and tourism spots etc.
NMC's Nag pollution abatement plan of Rs 1,252.33 crore was also approved last year and JICA has started the process to fund that project. The process was on hold for want of a certificate from state govt. Centre will bear 60%, state 25% of the cost while and rest will be borne by NMC in pollution abatement plan.
Appreciate your detailed painful analysis about Maharastra pollution.

Police Officer Breaks Hot Car Window To Rescue a …Baby Doll
We don't really know what the news is here. These realistic dolls or the police officer's action?
Aris Apostolopoulos July 28, 2017, 1:00 pm
Hot cars are an important issue during the hottest months of the summer. As a result, police officers, always keep an eye on them and try to rescue babies (and puppies) whose parents have forgotten about them in a temperature that can only prove fatal.
Sometimes, however, art can be so deceiving that broken windows save nothing but a …baby doll. Yeap, you read that right. A baby doll!
A police officer, Lt. Jason Short, saw an infant in a hot car parked in a Walmart parking. In fact, the "infant," according to the police photographs, was also wrapped in a cloth. Lt. Short had to take action and broke the car window:
"It was draped with a light blanket, and I could see little feet out with the non-soled shoes and a bottle of milk," Short says.
Using his baton, Short smashed the window and breathed into a "dead and lifeless" body, as he describes the baby doll. When he put his finger into the "baby's" mouth, it was all resistance and realized he was just looking at a doll.
Carolyne Seiffert, the baby doll owner owns about forty dolls to cope with the loss of her son. As she confesses, people used to laugh at her collection but, as she says, "you can't know how people choose to deal with their losses in life."
Also, this is not a collection to laugh at keeping in mind that just the doll that was in her smashed car is valued at more than $2,000.
The police officer offered to pay for the damage and Seiffert placed a bumper sticker on her window to help people understand that the doll is not a real baby. "I would never assume that it's a doll," she said. "I would always assume that it's a child. I would never do anything different," she continues.
Well, yeah. To be completely honest, this is a great, realistic piece of art!

Q: Prevent Express.js from crashing I'm quite new to Express.js and one of the things that surprised me more at first, compare to other servers such as Apache or IIS, is that Express.js server crashes every time it encounters an uncatched exception or some error turning down the site and making it accessible for users. A terrible thing!
For example, my application is crashing with a Javascript error because a variable is not defined due to a name change in the database table.

TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined

This is not such a good example, because I should solve it before moving the site to production, but sometimes similar errors can take part which shouldn't be causing a server crash.
I would expect to see an error page or just an error in that specific page, but turning down the whole server for these kind of things sounds terrifying.
Express error handlers doesn't seem to be enough for this purposes.
I've been reading about how to solve this kind of things in Node.js by using domains, but I found nothing specifically for Express.js.
Another option I found, which doesn't seem to be recommended in all cases, is using tools to keep running a process forever, so after a crash, it would restart itself. Tools like Forever, Upstart or Monit.
How do you guys deal with this kind of problems in Express.js?

A: The main difference between Apache and nodejs in general is that Apache forks a process per request while nodejs is single threaded, hence if an error occurs in Apache then the process handling that request will crash while the others will continue to work, in nodejs instead the only thread goes down.
In my projects I use monit to check memory/cpu (if nodejs takes to much resources of my vps then monit will restart nodejs) and daemontools to be sure nodejs is always up and running.

A: I would recommend using Domains along with clusters. There is example in doc itself at http://nodejs.org/api/domain.html. There are also some modules for expressjs https://www.npmjs.org/package/express-domain-middleware.
So when such errors occur use of domain along with cluster will help us separate context of where error occur and will effect only single worker in cluster, we should be logging them and disconnect that worker in cluster and refork it. We can then read logs to fix such errors that need to be fixed in code.

A: I was facing the same issue and I fixed using try/cache like this. So I created different route files and included each route files in try/cache block like this.
try{
  app.use('/api', require('./routes/user'))
}
catch(e)
{
  console.log(e);
}

try{
  app.use('/api', require('./routes/customer'))
}
catch(e)
{
  console.log(e);
}


European Union is an organization formed by some European countries that cater for economic, political, military and other common factors affecting the member states. European Union law was initially referred to as European Community Law. EU law is a body of court judgments, treaties and law which acts together with other legal systems in the European Union member states. The law is highly respected in the member countries and in case of conflict whether economic, political or those involving human rights, the law is given priority over the national law in the member countries. EU law is generally categorized into three categories namely; primary law, secondary law and supplementary law.
The primary law basically comes from the treaties that form the European Union. These are the treaties on the EU and the treaty in functioning of EU. The treaties are directly negotiated and agreed between the governments of the member states. The founder treaties of EU are the Paris treaty of 1951 and the Rome treaty of 1957. After adequate negotiation, the agreements are laid down in form of treaties that are subject to ratification by the parliaments of the member states (Reich 2005).These treaties define the role of the member countries, institutions found in the EU, bodies involved in decision making processes and legislation, executive and other practices that constitute community law and its implementation. The primary law includes law governing the amending of EU treaties, the protocols annexed to the founding treaties and to the amending treaties and the treaties on new member states 'accession to the EU. The power giving treaties set broad policy goals and then establishes institutions that have a main role of ensuring that those goals are achieved by enacting legislation. The legislative acts of the EU come in two forms and directives.
One of the major effects of the European law to English legal system is on direct applicability or direct effect. For instance, the British constitution establishes that parliament is sovereign. This means that no other law in Britain that are above laws made by the government. Relative to its sovereignty it is clear that Parliament is the highest legislative authority in UK: only Parliament can create law, No court in UK can impede or restrict Parliament's law making ability. Parliament can make whatever laws it wants, and the courts must apply that law, Parliament's sphere of legislation has no limits; it can legislate on any matter of its choosing (E.g. retrospective legislation) and No parliament can bind a future Parliament. Therefore, Parliament can make or cancel any law it chooses, and the courts must enforce it. However, membership of the EC has compromised this principle (Reich 2005).

Saurian is a survival simulation video game, developed and published by American studio Urvogel Games for Microsoft Windows. It focuses upon accurately simulating the natural ecosystem of the Hell Creek Formation in an interactive format where players take control of a dinosaur. The game uses the Unity engine as its base. It was launched on Steam as an Early Access game on August 2, 2017. Versions were also planned for MacOS and Linux, but have yet to be released as of 2022.

Gameplay
Saurian is a survival simulation game focused on the life of a dinosaur. The game is set in the Hell Creek Formation during the Cretaceous. Locales include woods and rivers. Originally, the player would take on the role of a lightly feathered Dakotaraptor. New playable animals were subsequently added, including Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Pachycephalosaurus, Anzu and Ankylosaurus.

As a Dakotaraptor, the player has a family consisting of parents and siblings. The player's goal is to survive through life, which requires eating and sleeping. A scent-tracking feature is used to locate other dinosaurs, as well as lizards which can be consumed for nourishment. The player starts out with a biting ability. Upon growing into a young adult, the player can leap onto other dinosaurs and tear into them using its toe claws. Older raptors ignore the player as a baby, but will fight back as the player ages and becomes a competitor for food. The player's Dakotaraptor parents sometimes resort to cannibalistic behavior, or may abandon the player.

Development and release
Saurian was developed by Urvogel Games, based in Duluth, Minnesota. The game was conceived by Nick Turinetti, a dinosaur enthusiast who owned a 10-percent stake in Urvogel. Turinetti conceived the idea for a dinosaur simulation game around 2008, after playing a dinosaur shoot 'em up game, which sparked an interest in developing a scientifically accurate dinosaur game. Over the years, Turinetti would carry around a notepad to write down ideas whenever he felt inspired. He eventually began assembling a team of developers to put the game together.

Saurian was largely inspired by Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (2003), although other games were also influential, including Jaws Unleashed (2006), Spore (2008), and Red Dead Redemption (2010). Turinetti finalized the basic concept around early 2013, when part-time development began, with the use of the Unity game engine. The development team conducted various research into dinosaurs to ensure up-to-date authenticity, an idea supported by paleontologists who expressed interest in the project. An emu, owned by one of the game's animators, was studied as a model for the game's dinosaurs. Hell Creek was chosen as the game's setting due to an extensive amount of research that had been undertaken there. The developers sought to accurately recreate the area's prehistoric flora and fauna.

Urvogel launched a Kickstarter campaign in May 2016, hoping to raise $55,000 to fund full development of the game. The necessary funds were raised in two days, and the campaign closed a month later, raising more than $220,000. Turinetti credited the desire for dinosaur accuracy – including feathered dinosaurs – as the reason for the Kickstarter's success. The development team consisted of approximately 14 people from around the world who worked on the game remotely. The team worked together using Skype, Discord, and Dropbox. Differences in time zones presented challenges for the team, which was divided across four continents. Turinetti served as the project manager.

Saurian was released for Microsoft Windows on August 2, 2017, as an Early Access game on Steam. It had also been planned for release on MacOS and Linux. A virtual reality version was also planned. However, the game is only available for Windows as of 2022.

Reception
Christopher Livingston of PC Gamer found the game difficult when playing as the Dakotaraptor. Alec Meer of Rock Paper Shotgun described the game as "more Walking With Dinosaurs than Jurassic World". He found the gameplay repetitive, and questioned whether new playable dinosaurs would be enough to sustain players' interest in the game.
