Bulgarian children's cinema marks a new rise, and the proof is one of the most anticipated teenage movies - Runaway Smartphone. The film made its world premiere at the Artisan International Festival in Cannes in 2018. It was also featured in two other international film festivals in Stuttgart and Sochi. From February 8, it will be released in the cinema theatres in Bulgaria, Austria and Switzerland.
The action of Runaway Smartphone revolves around the adventures of the teenagers Phil (Simeon Filipov), Angie (Vassilena Stoyanova) and Marco (Matey Genchev), who have to find money for the treatment of Angie's sick brother. After their efforts are sabotaged, the three friends go in search of the Chieftain Valchan's buried treasure. A magical smartphone, however, turns out to be a time machine and takes them back into the past - amid fearsome haiduks. Furthermore, the journey through the centuries is not one-way.
The idea to make a children's adventure movie was spontaneously born three years ago. According to the producer, Zlatina Filipova, there is a 'hunger' for this genre in Bulgaria. Together with the director, Maxim Genchev, they decided to create a story about travel in time, carrying the adventures in the past (with a courtesy to history), the future and the present. "Let's revive the tradition of the good Bulgarian children's cinema", they invoke and thank the full cast and crew for the dedication, talent and professionalism.
The Runaway Smartphone was shot in Sofia with the support of Sofia Municipality through its film committee, established in 2015, in connection with the Capital's title Sofia -Creative City of Film. Prohodna Cave is one of the filming sites.


The king cobra is a rare and highly venomous snake. Rahul Alvares, however, is keen to get the perfect shot of the elusive reptile with his camera.
The first time I ever saw a king cobra up close was in 1995. Romulus Whitaker, famous herpetologist (expert in reptiles and amphibians), was filming the movie 'King Cobra' at the Madras Crocodile Bank.
Back then I was the geeky kid running around hoping to be useful. At the time I did not even own a camera! Seven years later, I got my first chance to handle a king cobra at the Queen Savobha Institute in Thailand.
Getting permission to handle one of these giant snakes wasn't easy. King cobras can pack quite a punch with their venom and it took a lot of pestering and a death disclaimer (signing that the institute would not be responsible for any injury or death) before they would even let me get close to the kings!
I had carried my dad's film camera and despite my limited photography knowledge, the images were decent. For the time, that is!
But by 2008 when I purchased my own Digital SLR camera, my satisfactory 2002 pictures had begun to look very unsatisfactory. I had to photograph a king cobra with my new equipment.
The trouble is that king cobras are very rare. Living in thick, leech-infested rainforests, they don't make themselves readily available. Even if you get lucky and find one, I can assure you it wouldn't be amused to have a camera thrust into its face.
Getting bitten isn't an option: its venom can flatten an adult elephant. It also doesn't help that there isn't any king cobra anti-venom available in India. With odds like these, I had little chance of safely getting a great shot of a wild king cobra.
Luckily, Amrut Singh, a fellow snake-handler who lives in Bicholim Goa, runs an Animal Rescue Squad and is well-known in the state for rescuing over a dozen king cobras from human habitations in the last few years. All the rescued snakes are released into the wild close to where they were found. It was to one such release that I was invited.
The rescued king cobra, 2.8 m. in length, was 'not very big' according to Amrut! To me, it seemed big enough and, judging by the way it charged at Amrut, wild enough too! But utterly fearless Amrut handled the snake which was twice his height, effectively and relatively effortlessly.
I, on the other hand, wasn't doing very well. For starters, it was the middle of the day (bad lighting for photography). Then there was the constantly moving snake which had the autofocus on my macro lens running berserk trying to lock onto it. About 120 shots later, I began to relax a bit. I hadn't got the perfect shot but I had managed some good images.
That's just how wildlife photography works. And when Amrut calls again, I will be ready, perhaps with even better luck, and maybe a better camera too!

Recently, I've been thinking, writing my own story within my mind so to speak, and I think it's about time we write one hell of a story, one with multiple endings and multiple ways of getting there. I'm talking about a game that is more about the journey then the end, one that relies of the players ability to tell the in game world how they feel, and not their ability to give the answer they think the game wants. Something with the needs of the Sims world, but with the world of Skyrim, or Fable. Something EPIC,a game which requires real feelings and not the preset ones that appear in most games, we need to make something different, to allow people to express themselves.
Not sold yet? Well what if I told you that a game like this could possibly will help to solve issues such as anxiety and depression? Studies indicate that telling someone your problems, and expressing yourself help you to see how you can get through a problem, so in other words if you play as an avatar who is depressed and then you speak to one of the other characters in the game about what is happening in your avatars life then won't that too help you with your problems? I believe it can, as Jane said, people are leaving reality in droves because games satisfy them so much more in terms of mental responses, this game would be able to do that.
My challenge for you is to talk about what type of game this would be, would it be set in a fantasy world with Magic, and mystical creatures, or would it be set closer to home, in a kind of modern day teen lifestyle? The possibilities are endless, leave your synopsis here and let's see what we all manage to come up with!!!!
I like this concept. It reminds me of some reading I've been doing in a book by Lee Sheldon called "Character Development and Storytelling for Games." (Which everyone should get!) I think a fantasy setting would work well, especially if you incorporate animorphs and such.
I agree, it'd allow people to have much more expression within the game; adopting the traits of their favourite animals and the like.
Heyyy, I think you just put excellent words of something I want to participate on for very long time!
I have encountered quite a few stories that hit the right chords in right time and gave me numerous insights and emotional breakthroughs (most recently Katawa Shoujo) and idea of doing something simillar sounds incredibly exhilarating.
I would definetly vote for for fantasy setting, but not only ADaD type, It could be oddworld (Another world, Heart of darkness, Abe games) or combination of settings like Longest Journey.
Would it be primarly single or multiplayer? Story or cooperation based?
for the fantasy setting, just for flexibility reasons. If it were entirely, up to me, I'd make it a single player story with a cooperative/multi player mode. That's just simply to allow people to play on their own if they want to.
What ever it is it would need to be big, and allow multiple situations to take place.
What jumped to my mind was Eliza, the early AI program that mimicked a therapist's "listening mode" type responses. Some people who played it were hooked and began confessing some pretty personal feelings and demanding more time with Eliza.
My top-'o-head thoughts would be to incorporate a similar AI-type exchange maybe as a "spirit guide" or a "sidekick," along with quests that challenge the player to solve social dilemmas. The dilemmas could involve variable/flexible Sims or real people (playing as avatars) or preprogrammed characters but the idea would be for the player to stop and "chat" with the spirit guide to think through the various actions and consequences as the action unfolds. Maybe too heady and psychological. Perhaps a fantasy game is more freeing.
That's a great idea, I hadn't thought of having a sidekick, it would definitely allow the player to develop a bond with the game. I think we'd be able to easily hook it into the game as well, so that's great.
The AI thing sounds awesome, Lorraine :)It would probably take some experimenting, but great idea.
At the moment we are just in the thought processes, but I'd like to see the idea get past the Design phase. I haven't personally written ideas for any of the characters or challenges, although I have done some brainstorming on some ideas I have for characters.
Definitely a bit of both, I'd love to see the game get up and running. I'll probably make a group or something once this discussion is finished. Just so we can see who would be interested in helping out.
@Jiri Santora Sweet as! This game would be about telling your own story, so it's an excellent place to work on your language skills, I mean, nothing worse than a story with no truth to it.
Just an update for everyone who is interested in helping out just from reading this, I've developed a list of things we are really going to need in order to get this game up and running, I've put in the main post also, just so newcomers don't have to read the latter of this discussion.


Enrollment in the 2014 and 2015 Average Revenue Coverage and Price Loss Coverage (ARCPLC) Farm programs will end on Sept. 30, according to Robert J. Nagel, Kimball County Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director.
Nagel said this is the third and final step to complete 2014 and 2015 crop year activities for enrollment in the Farm Program. Program payments if authorized for crop year 2014 would be issued this October and for crop year 2015, in October of 2016. Failure to enroll by the Sept. 30 deadline could mean a loss of potential program benefits for one or both crop years.

Josep Parellada i Faura (Barcelona (Barcelonès), 26 de març, 1872 - idem. 23 de desembre, 1942), fou un jurista i publicista català.

Va seguir la carrera de lleis a la universitat barcelonina, alternant els estudis amb treballs periodístics. El 1895 va ser director de La Llanterna de Gràcia (Barcelona), i el 1896 d'El Eco, de la mateixa localitat. Catòlic convençut i polemista per temperament, els seus primers èxits periodístics el van introduir a buscar un camp d'acció més eficaç i dilatat, ingressant en 1894 a la redacció de El Diario Catalán, òrgan de l'integrisme a Barcelona, on va figurar fins al 1900, lliurant enèrgiques campanyes contra l'heterodòxia i, en especial, contra la maçoneria.

Després del desastre colonial, Parellada i Faura, amb els documents que li va facilitar l'antic rector de Tondo (Filipines), i amb altres que ja posseïa, va publicar La Masoneria ante la Iglesia (Barcelona, 1897) i La gran traición (Barcelona, 1899), que contenen interessants documents per a la història de la pèrdua de les colònies espanyoles d'ultramar.

El 1906 va ser nomenat secretari de la Junta Diocesana d'Acció Catòlica, de la qual va passar a ser vicepresident el 1915. En aquesta entitat va treballar a totes les campanyes d'acció catòlica empreses a Barcelona contra els projectes atemptatoris a la llibertat de les consciències que els Governs d'aquella època van formular amb els títols de lleis d'Associacions, del Candado i de reformes del Concordat. No hi va haver míting ni assemblea on Parellada i Faura no deixés sentir la seva veu en defensa dels seus ideals, prenent part activa en la reorganització del tan famós, anomenat de Las Arenas, el 10 de gener de 1907.

Des del 1914 va viure dedicat al bufet d'advocat, i des del juliol del 1917 fins a la jubilació fou magistrat suplent de l'Audiència Territorial de Barcelona.

The eagerly awaited spin-off to Fathers & Other Strangers!
He's never met the woman he couldn't charm until now!
Jason Van der Bollen is to put it bluntly a womaniser. Dashing and delightful, yes. But still a womaniser. Lately, though, he's been thinking there's something missing in his life. Maybe that's why he moves back home to west Texas. After all, his brother's family is there and the idea of family has suddenly become very appealing to the confirmed bachelor.
His nephew claims Jason's been "bitten by that nesting impulse" but what does an eleven-year-old know?
Yet when Jason meets Laura Ghant, "nesting" or even "mating for life" doesn't seem such a bad idea. At least, not to Jason. Laura, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with him. Poetic justice?


The Calcutta high court allowed the BJP's 'Rath Yatra' programme in West Bengal, setting aside the state government's refusal on apprehensions of communal unrest. Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty directed the state BJP to inform the superintendents of police of the districts, in which the rallies shall enter, at least 12 hours ahead of schedule.
KOLKATA: The Calcutta high court on Thursday allowed the BJP's 'Rath Yatra' programme in West Bengal, setting aside the state government's refusal on apprehensions of communal unrest.
Justice Tapabrata Chakraborty directed the state BJP to inform the superintendents of police of the districts, in which the rallies shall enter, at least 12 hours ahead of schedule.
The party was also directed to ensure that the 'yatras' should be conducted abiding by the law and shall not impede normal movement of vehicular traffic.
The state government had earlier denied permission + for the yatras, citing 'intelligence reports' about efforts to disrupt communal harmony over the yatra. The BJP had moved court + against denial of permission by the state.
Sounding a caution, the court also said that BJP will be equally responsible for any loss or damage to property caused.
State BJP chief Dilip Ghosh said that the party will abide by the court's directives.
The 'rath yatra', touted as the "save democracy rally", is now being proposed for on Saturday, next Monday and Wednesday, said state Bharatiya Janata Party vice-president Jay Prakash Majumdar.
"We have already prepared three dates for 'ganatantra bachao yatra (save democracy rally)' from Cooch Behar on December 22, from Kakdwip in South 24 Parganas district on December 24 and from Tarapith temple in Birbhum district on December 26 to protest against the Trinamool Congress government's decision to deny permission for the rath yatra," he said.
Asked to react on the BJP's demand for holding the rally, TMC leader and food supplies minister Jyotipriyo Mullick said, "The state government had done the right thing by not giving them (BJP) the approval. The intention of the BJP is to create communal tensions in the state."

Virginia Beach Gunman Resigned for 'Personal Reasons' Before Shooting – Report
On Friday, a veteran civil engineer entered his workplace and started shooting indiscriminately, killing 12 and wounding several more. Investigators are still struggling to find a motive for the violent attack.
The man who killed 12 in the city of Virginia Beach on Friday, had sent a resignation notice to his superiors hours before he went to his workplace and began shooting indiscriminately, city officials said on Monday.
"I want to officially put in my [2] weeks' notice," the would-be gunman wrote in a letter the officials made public. "It has been a pleasure to serve the city, but due to personal reasons, I must relieve my position."

Russian Embassy in US Expresses Condolences Following Virginia Beach Shooting
Several hours later, the 40-year old city engineer DeWayne Craddock entered the municipal building where he worked for years and began shooting indiscriminately, killing 12.
The letter does not provide any insight into the gunman's possible motive nor does it shed light on his state of mind before the incident, National Public Radio report notes. However, city officials say this letter proves the man made no indication of the upcoming shooting before carrying it out.
Julie Hill, a spokeswoman for the city of Virginia Beach, underscored that the suspect's written words "contained no foreshadowing of the actions he would take later in the day."
During the shooting, Craddock killed two supervisors in his own department, including his own boss Richard H. Nettleton, but the investigators say there is no indication that the man targeted anyone specifically. Instead, they say the man shot dozens of rounds "indiscriminately."

Twelve Killed, Several Wounded in Virginia Beach Mass Shooting (VIDEO, PHOTOS)
At a press briefing that took place over the weekend, City Manager Dave Hansen told reporters the engineer was not forced to resign. According to Hansen, Craddock's colleagues did not express any concerns about him prior to the shooting.
"He was in good standing within his department, and there were no issues of discipline ongoing," Hansen said.
The investigation will continue, with some yellow crime scene tape to stay in the building, but the government complex itself will continue its usual operation starting Tuesday, NPR report says. In the meantime, mourners continue bringing flowers next to the crime scene.
Craddock was killed during a lengthy shootout with police. Several people were injured during the attack. Some 40 law enforcement members, mostly FBI agents, were dispatched to the crime scene, according to a CNN report.

Coal Consumption
India dismisses criticism over coal consumption
Dismissing Western media's criticism over its coal consumption to meet energy needs, India today said that such reports will not deter the country.PTI | December 08, 2015, 09:01 IST
LE BOURGET: Dismissing Western media's criticism over its coal consumption to meet energy needs, India today said that such reports will not deter the country from its stand at the crucial climate change conference here.
"Certain criticism without attributing any motive to them, I take it as compliment. It does not deter me from my positions," Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said.
His comments came after India was targeted by the Western media for its expansion plans for usage of coal to meet its energy needs.
India has said it was ready to reduce its reliance on coal if the developed nations provide it with finance and technology to switch to clean energy sources.
India in its climate action plan has announced its ambitious plans to have 40 per cent of its electricity from renewables by 2030.
"When we are increasing our renewable by seven fold, definitely our coal consumption comes down. In absolute terms, US and many other countries, are much more than us.
"If we are third largest emitter, we might be third in sequence but the smallest. India is burning 1/7th of coal that the first two (emitters) are doing," he said on the first day of ministerial-level talks at the summit.
When asked about a US proposal to expand the donor base for climate financing, Javadekar said that the USD 100 billion as committed by certain parties should be fulfilled first and mentioned the song 'jo wada kiya hai nibhana parega'.
"100 billions dollars is a commitment of certain parties...If you promise something you have to walk the talk. They need to fulfil the commitment. Climate action cost is not limited to 100 billion dollars. The annual cost of climate actions is in trillions of dollars which each country is going to bear," he said.
"Even the developing world will bear majority of cost of its mitigation and adaptation. 100 billion is a very important and symbolic gesture. One should not run away from it. We helped Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, African countries and many others.
"If we are doing this, it is our bilateral voluntary action. That is additional. It does not become a part of 100 billion dollars. We are doing our actions bilaterally, it is not part of the 100 billion dollars. The commitment by some should come first.
"There should not be double accounting. That should be a clean exercise which will create a new confidence in the world. Let that happen," the Minister said.

I am trying to find out why my link between two remote offices are so heavily utilized, when there is only 7 people in the office. There is a T1 that connects them to the internet, then VPN to our office. I tried running Network Monitor, but that only gives local traffic, and I do not have SMS server to use the more advanced one.
Question I have is, isnt it best to look at router stats? What commands are used to look at traffic over the router (Cisco)?
Many apps can kill a T1 if they are moving a lot of data across the line.
A terminal server can usually solve that issue.
There are several ways to look at interface statistics on Cisco routers depending upon the device and the IOS it is running. One way is to turn on ip accounting. Telnet/console into the router and enter enable mode. Go into configuration mode and select the interface you want. Type in "ip accounting", exit configuration mode and save your changes. Let it simmer awhile and then go back into the router and type "show ip accounting". You should receive a display of source/destination IP addresses along with the number of packets/bytes transmitted. The other method is called "ip nbar protcol-discovery". It is also implemented on the interface, and it will give you different statistics, like "top-n" protocols and talkers so you can discover traffic composition. Go to www.cisco.com and search on "ip nbar protocol-discovery" for the option details. Hope this helps.
you want to know what the interface traffic is on a Cisco?
depending on how your rack is setup you can look at port traffic on the switch. if your setup is computer NIC to patch panel, patch panel to switch, switch network port up to router try looking at the network port traffic or individual switch port traffic to see whats going on.

Q: How to calculate metric distance from CGsize? How can I convert CGSize to actual metric dimensions?
for example CGSize(width:300,height:300) on an 11 inch iPad is how much in mm?

A: It varies per device. You need to know screen resolution and pixel size. Just look them up in Apple's technical spec pages. Then simply multiply.  Don't forget to take into account different zoom levels (some devices can do this).

Chinese New Year and the Year of the Pig
There are two kinds of pig: there are adorable pigs like Wilbur from Charlotte's Web and there are terrifying ones like Napoleon from Animal Farm. In the period from 2000 to 2017, the public image of China was located about half way along the Wilbur-Napoleon scale. Essentially, about half of what one read was written by so-called "panda huggers", the other half by so-called "dragon slayers". From about mid-way through 2018 this started to change, and greater prominence was given to news stories about vicious Chinese repression in Xinjiang and the "Tech Cold War". Special prominence – or greater weight – started to be given to reports on China's alleged systematic state-directed theft of intellectual property, as well as the numerous non-tariff barriers that it has erected against foreign businesses that seek to expand into its market.
Say what you like about the Chinese leadership, it can hardly be denied that they have consistently brought home the bacon since this century started – and foreign investors have thrown themselves at China like so many Gadarene swine. While it may be true that a great deal of Chinese money has been wasted on massive pork barrel projects, it is also true that China's growth has left capitalists and economic commentators the world over as happy as pigs in muck. People like making money and they like to see it being made, and these two factors have had key roles to play in the "peaceful rise" narrative that has informed article after mind-numbing article in the last twenty-or-so years. According to this narrative, China's economic growth is miraculous and benevolent, and the downsides to it (unprecedented environmental destruction, the creation of a high-tech surveillance state, rampant and aggressive Chinese mercantilism etc.) will be sorted out in the fullness of time. Investors with their snouts in the trough have not had time or the inclination for a more profound analysis.
But you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. The post-1949 Chinese government has always been at the Napoleon end of the Wilbur-Napoleon scale. What changed in Western media in 2018 was the narrative, not its subject. So-called China watchers have been living on the pig's back for twenty years by telling slightly varied versions of the same two stories: (1) that (terrible) China is about to collapse and (2) that (wonderful) China is about to confound everyone's expectations of its collapse. China watchers now find themselves in hog heaven, with a brand new narrative falling into their laps, just as the old two were getting boar-ing.
2019 is likely to be a pig of year, for China and for everywhere else. I'm writing this article in São Paulo, where climate change has already increased the average annual temperature by three degrees. Meanwhile, people in Chicago are literally freezing to death. Industrial civilization is destroying the conditions for life on Earth. China and the United States are in the midst of a trade war. As growth slows, the Chinese economy finds itself burdened with mountains of bad debt. The United States and Europe agonise in the grip of conspiracy theories. Here in Brazil the government has been taken over by YouTubers.
The pig seems to me the perfect symbol for 2019, conveniently the Year of the Pig. Putting aside the usual hogwash about 'prosperity' that interlards so much of the content in articles about Chinese New Year written in English, it seems to me that we should consider the humble swine in the round. What, after all is a pig if not an agricultural animal whose production and consumption are implicated in almost all of the seven deadly sins of the modern age? Pig farming warms the climate. Too much pork causes obesity. Pigs, when farmed en masse, pollute waterways. The excessive use of antibiotics in pig farms is a key contributor to the growth of so-called superbugs. Pig blood is thrown at mosques and synagogues by racists (a flourishing demographic in 2019). And so on and so forth.
This Year of the Pig, then, should be a time for reflection. Humanity (and our domesticated suidae) stand at the threshold of a new age. Much of the frightening ecological transformations that were predicted only a few decades ago have become mundane realities in 2019. The prospect of ever more intense resource wars awaits us in the very near future. Are we to continue rootling blindly forwards, continually in search of the elusive truffle of a higher GDP? Or is it time for us to realize that we can't go on like this, and that in seeking endless growth we have traded our own and everyone else's futures for a pig in a poke? In 2019, the kind of answers you are likely to get to both of these questions sound surprisingly similar: they mostly sound like "oink."
Thanks a lot for your prompt service, it was great! I want also to tell you that your translation was very good.

Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian
TOTAL PLAN ASSETS/PARTICIPANTS: $515.4 million/6,686
AVERAGE DEFERRAL RATE: 8%
EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION: 50% match on 4%, plus 3% nonelective; additional contribution for employees with 10-plus years of service
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian's work force, with the wide-ranging educational backgrounds and income levels typical of a hospital, also has an average age of 40, average tenure of eight years, and is 75% female. The 401(k) plan for this employer, in Newport Beach, California, has managed to reach 95.9% participation and 8% average deferrals by offering a generous employer contribution, utilizing automatic design features and providing individual financial counseling for employees.
The plan matches 50% up to 4% of pay an employee defers. Employees also become eligible for a 3% nonelective contribution, effective the January 1 following 12 consecutive months of employment during which they have worked 1,000 hours or more. Additionally, Hoag makes an extra contribution for employees with 10-plus years of service. "We have many employees who have been here 15 years or more," says Jan Blue, senior vice president, human resources (HR) and support services.
"It's important to us to reward them for continuing to choose [us] as their employer and hopefully help them retire with a nice nest egg after their providing Hoag with service for all of those years." The extra contribution for long-tenured employees ranges from 0.5% for 10 through14 years to 3.5% for 25 years or more.
The plan's 2012 design changes also helped both new and existing employees to up their contributions. Automatic enrollment features began at a 3% initial deferral for new hires that year, plus the plan auto-enrolled previously eligible, noncontributing employees at 2%. "These employees also were included in the automatic contribution accelerator of 1% per year, unless they chose to opt out," Blue says.
Auto-enrollment has led to improved investment diversification, as 67.2% of participants have money in the plan's default investment, GoalMaker. The asset-allocation program from the plan's recordkeeper, Prudential, provides professionally managed allocations and portfolios. "In an organization with schedules that cover 24/7/365 and that never closes, employees usually don't have the time or interest to research investments, monitor different funds' returns and ensure portfolio balancing," Blue says. Using Goalmaker, "they can have peace of mind with respect to their retirement savings and focus on their patients," she says.
Hoag also picks up the cost for personalized financial counseling offered by the plan's adviser, Retirement Benefits Group (RBG). The advisory firm comes on-site monthly to hold financial-planning sessions, with appointments available throughout the day. "Employees can schedule one-on-one sessions with a financial planner for 45 minutes," says Tanya Barrett, Hoag's executive director, human resources.
"They also are able to schedule a session outside of Hoag directly with our retirement consultant, if that works better for their work schedule. These sessions are very popular and typically are entirely booked up within two or three days of communications sent out to employees," she says.
Having one-on-one sessions seems to have motivated the participants who attended the meetings. "We don't have hard statistics," Barrett notes, "but we estimate that 75% take some action, such as increasing their contribution, changing their investment allocation or rolling assets into the plan." —Judy Ward

Hong Kong's next big development: a giant fake island where the last pink dolphins now swim
Pui O Bay on Lantau Island.

The Hong Kong government has big development plans for Lantau Island, the 147-square-kilometer landmass west of Hong Kong Island, in spite of fierce local opposition and a slowing economy.

In a presentation made to various neighborhoods in recent months, the Lantau Development Advisory Committee spells out all that they wish to do to the area. It proposes to transform the sleepy island of fishing villages, beaches, wetlands, and the city's largest country park into a new "kaleidoscopic recreation and tourism destination," and a new shopping hub where visitors can "splurge and indulge."
Public responses to the proposals are due tomorrow (April 30) via the committee website or fax, but a growing, vocal opposition is already squaring off against Hong Kong's most powerful politicians—setting the stage for another clash between the city's residents and leadership, which is increasingly viewed as out of touch with local citizens.
Lantau has a population of 105,000 currently. The outlandish development plans include a new East Lantau Metropolis that could house up to 1 million people, to be built mostly on reclaimed land, disrupting the habitat of the few pink dolphins that remain in the Pearl River delta in a way that many environmentalists fear would be fatal.
The development plans include:
Create a "new town" on one or more artificial islands constructed in central Hong Kong harbor, and deeming it "low carbon."
Further reclamation to expand Hong Kong Disneyland, on Lantau, even as the park's visitors fall.
A railway corridor that links the city's northern "New Territories" to western Hong Kong island via tunnels and railways.
The development plans come as Hong Kong's population growth is slowing, real estate sales have fallen to SARS epidemic levels, and sales at the city's existing malls are plummeting.
Developing this green area has always been controversial, and many harebrained proposals have been stopped through the years by public opposition, says Eddie Tse, who convened the Save Lantau Alliance.
The stilt houses of Tai O.
"There have been various waves of government attempts at developing [the fishing village of] Tai O, which have been blocked since this is a very particular area with many stilt houses. And there are a lot of Sites of Special Scientific Interest on the island, not to mention the remaining pink dolphins. Some people in government accepted that the primary development measures had to be environmentally sound," he said.
But this particular expansion may be hard to stop. The Lantau committee was formed in January 2014, after Hong Kong's deeply unpopular chief executive, Leung Chun-ying, announced a plan to develop the island, part of a strategy of making Hong Kong "a bridge economy" to the mainland. In his 2016 policy address he supports the idea of a new metropolis built on an artificial island just off Lantau's small town of Mui Wo, not far from Hong Kong Disneyland.
Of the 20 members of the Lantau committee, more than half are pro-development, allies of Leung, or part of the Beijing-leaning DAB party. It includes Peter Lam, the chairman of the tourism development board; Jack So, the head of the Board of the Airport Authority; and Algernon Yau, a Cathay Pacific Airlines executive, plus a number of pro-government politicians and a few academics.
Objection to the project is strong—dozens of green groups have signed a petition, and there have been marches and demonstrations. (During a previous round of consultations, in 2007, 80% of the public opposed any further development of the island.) But it is unclear what influence that will have. There is no public vote on the project—the government says it will create "a blueprint for Lantau development, which will set out the indicative implementation timetable for related projects" after the consultation period ends.
"It is very hard to see what can be done now," says Tse. "The problem is, Lantau is so big, it is one of those 'crimes without victims,' because the plants, the birds and the animals are not victims that can voice their opposition," says Tse: "Yet it is still a crime. And we would all lose Lantau."

My name is Jája and I am a Dreamer.
This blog was created like a travel blog. I had a plan to share here my travel experiences, mainly with family and friends who ask me all the time "how was your trip?" I had a dream many years ago, to travel around the world and find something new which could help me to move on and open my eyes.
I started working a lot and saving money for traveling.
I created this blog and I wrote two articles about travel to Nepal.
I started preparing new articles about Kazakhstan and other countries which I have visited. I also started sharing pictures and my experiences on social networks. Though I put a lot of effort to do it, I didn't feel any satisfaction. What was worse, I felt that this is not the way how I would like to do it and for sure it is not the true me.
Although I do love traveling, I realized that being a digital nomad and traveling from one country to other with a 30 kg backpack would not make me happy and satisfied, for sure. I realized I don't dream about short-term friendships, about recommendations of local food or fancy style accommodation.
I realized there are days when I don't want to make a solution where I will sleep, how long I can stay and if I have enough money or not.
And when I realized all these things, my new project of writing a travel blog fell down.
However, then I made a great life change and I moved to Australia.
After a few days when I started to live on the other side of the world, and when I felt quite in shock, I decided to write a blog no matter what. For my family, for my friends, or for anyone who would like to move abroad but doesn't feel it's the right moment, or just for people who are interested how it is to be Czech living in the Land Down Under.
So you will find here articles about what I am doing, feeling, what I like, what motivates me and inspires me. Articles about what it is like living overseas, specifically in Australia.
I will be very glad when you will write me an email, or a message on Instagram or just leave a comment.


Loved recording this episode with Dara Treseder, CMO of GE Ventures, super hero mom and dedicated mentor. As I sat across the table from her, I tried hard to not laugh the whole way through (failure), with her infectious smile, her quick wit and her engaging stories. But don't let this polished charmer fool you, she's also fierce.
Fierce in the best of all ways, as she devotes herself to marketing GE's Venture Capital arm, Business Creation Group, and Licensing Business, while helping others succeed. An advisor to companies and a dedicated mentor to many individuals, especially other women of color who are battling negative stereotypes and unconscious bias, Dara has a sharp understanding of what it takes to grow and deliver.
When advising companies, CEOs and CMOs, Dara takes the first wise step to determine what the needs are and then how to translates that into a solution path. Have a listen as she gives great advice on how CEOs should be considering their portfolio of needs when seeking a CMO and how CMOs should be positioning themselves in the growth model. Also in here are great tips for any leader to assess their teams and recruits to ensure there is a cultural and strategic fit that will help the overall team succeed.

Q: Simple Kafka Consumer not receiving messages I am a newbie to Kafka and running a simple kafka consumer/producer example as given on KafkaConsumer and KafkaProducer. When I am running consumer from terminal, consumer is receiving messages but I am not able to listen using Java code.
I have searched for similar issues on StackoverFlow also (Links: Link1, Link2) and tried that solutions but nothing seems to be working for me.
Kafka Version: kafka_2.10-0.10.2.1 and corresponding maven dependency is used in pom.
Java Code for producer and consumer:
public class SimpleProducer {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9094");
    props.put("acks", "all");
    props.put("retries", 0);
    props.put("batch.size", 16384);
    props.put("linger.ms", 1);
    props.put("buffer.memory", 33554432);
    props.put("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");

    Producer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(props);
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        producer.send(new ProducerRecord<String, String>("topic3", Integer.toString(i), Integer.toString(i)));

    producer.close();

}}

public class SimpleConsumer {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9094");
    props.put("group.id", "test");
    props.put("zookeeper.connect", "localhost:2181");
    props.put("enable.auto.commit", "true");
    props.put("auto.commit.interval.ms", "1000");
    props.put("key.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
    props.put("value.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
    KafkaConsumer<String, String> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
    consumer.subscribe(Arrays.asList("topic3", "topic2"));
    while (true) {
        ConsumerRecords<String, String> records = consumer.poll(100);
        for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records)
            System.out.printf("offset = %d, key = %s, value = %s%n", record.offset(), record.key(), record.value());
    }
}}

Starting kafka:
bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties (I have already set port, brokerid in properties file)

A: First check what all the groups are available by using :
./kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --list

Then check for which group your topic belongs by using below cmd :
./kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group <your group name> --describe

Once you find your topic and associated group name (just replace group.id with your group if it not belongs to default group) then try with below prop and let me know if it works :
  props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
  props.put("group.id", "test-consumer-group"); // default topic name
  props.put("enable.auto.commit", "true");
  props.put("auto.commit.interval.ms", "1000");
  props.put("session.timeout.ms", "30000");
  props.put("key.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
  props.put("value.deserializer","org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
  KafkaConsumer<String, String> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<String, String>(props);

  //Kafka Consumer subscribes list of topics here.
  consumer.subscribe(Arrays.asList(topicName));  // replace you topic name

  //print the topic name

  java.util.Map<String,java.util.List<PartitionInfo>> listTopics = consumer.listTopics();
  System.out.println("list of topic size :" + listTopics.size());

  for(String topic : listTopics.keySet()){
      System.out.println("topic name :"+topic);
  }

A: Run the consumer before running the producer so that the consumer registers with the group coordinator first.Later when u run the producer the consumer consumes the messages.The first time u run the consumer its registering with the group coordinator.In order to find out till what offset the consumer has consumed the messages use this kafka-consumer-offset-checker.bat --group group-1 --topic testing-1 --zookeeper localhost:2181 This shows the consumer has consumed which offset of the topic last.

A: Clear Your 'tmp' folder in the drive which you accessing kafka. then open new 'cmd' command window! Restart server freshly, and post " .\bin\windows\kafka-console-consumer.bat --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic H1 --from-beginning "this code in the command window to run consumer without any error

A: Try to set enable.partition.eof parameter to false:
props.put("enable.partition.eof", "false");

That worked for me.

A: Try this one this code worked for me.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "localhost:9092");
props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
"org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
"org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
props.put(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, "test-consumer-group");
KafkaConsumer<String, String> myConsumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
myConsumer.subscribe(Arrays.asList(topicName));
myConsumer.subscribe(topics);

try{
      while (true) {
              ConsumerRecords<String, String> records = myConsumer.poll(100);
              for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records) {
                  System.out.println(String.format( "Topic: %s, Partition: %d, Offset: %d, key: %s, value: %s",
                          record.topic(),record.partition(), record.offset(),record.key(),record.value()
                  ));
              }}
    }catch (Exception e){
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }finally {
        myConsumer.close();
    }

A: I faced this issue with latest release of kafka  kafka_2.13-2.6.0.tgz (asc, sha512) when installed locally on windows 7. Messages were not flowing from producer to consumer.
Checked and found that Consumer offset topic was not created not sure why.
Installed earlier version of Kakfa
kafka_2.12-2.5.0.tgz and it started working. Consumer offset topic was created with the old version

However, we also show that such improvements depend critically on accurate forward models; indeed, the reconstruction accuracy of our simulated OPM system only outperformed that of a simulated superconducting system in cases where forward field error was less than 5%. Overall, our results imply that the realisation of a viable whole head multi channel OPM system could generate a step change in the utility of MEG as a means to assess brain electrophysiological activity in health and disease.

Jennifer 8 is a 1992 American thriller film written and directed by Bruce Robinson and starring Andy García, Uma Thurman, and John Malkovich.

Plot
Los Angeles detective John Berlin is teetering toward burnout after the collapse of his marriage. At the invitation of an old friend and colleague, Freddy Ross, Berlin heads to rural northern California, for a job with the Eureka police force. Berlin rankles his new colleagues, especially John Taylor, who was passed over for promotion to make room for Berlin.

After finding a woman's severed hand in a garbage bag at the local dump, Berlin reopens the case of an unidentified murdered girl, nicknamed "Jennifer", which went unsolved despite a full-time six-month effort by the department. Berlin notes an unusually large number of scars on the hand, as well as wear on the finger-tips, which he realizes came from reading Braille, determining that the girl is blind. He begins to believe the cases are related. Berlin does his best to convince Freddy and his fellow officers of his suspicions, but Taylor and police chief Citrine refuse to believe that the hand found at the dump is in any way connected to the other cases.

After consulting his former colleagues in Los Angeles, Berlin discovers that in the previous four years, six women, most of them blind, have either been found dead or are still missing, all within a 300-mile radius of San Diego. He becomes convinced that "Jennifer" was the 7th victim and the girl whose hand was found at the dump is "Jennifer 8", or victim #8. While investigating the links between the dead and missing blind girls, he meets blind music teacher Helena Robertson, determining that her roommate Amber was the eighth victim. Berlin becomes obsessed with the case, despite an almost complete lack of hard evidence, and becomes romantically involved with Helena, who resembles his ex-wife.

After an attack on Helena, Ross accompanies Berlin on a stakeout at the institute where Helena lives in a dorm, after leaving Helena with Ross' wife Margie. When they see a flashlight shining on the same floor as Helena's apartment, Berlin investigates and is knocked unconscious by the killer, who then shoots and kills Ross with Berlin's .32 pistol. A grueling interrogation of Berlin by FBI special agent St. Anne ensues. St. Anne makes clear to Berlin that he figures him for Ross's murderer, but also inadvertently reveals information which helps Berlin realize that Sgt. Taylor is the true killer. Berlin tells St. Anne and Citrine who he believes the killer to be, but his deductions are met with disbelief. Berlin is arrested for Ross's murder, but is bailed out by Margie, who does not believe that Berlin is the killer.

Upon making bail, Berlin returns to Margie's house only to learn that Margie has taken Helena back to the institute. Fearing that Helena and Margie are in danger, Berlin rushes to the institute, but fails to arrive ahead of Taylor, who breaks in and chases Helena through the dorm. Finally catching up to her, Taylor is shocked to discover that the woman he'd been pursuing is actually Margie. She  shoots Taylor dead, avenging her husband and closing the case.

Cast

Production
While establishing scenes were shot in Eureka and Trinidad, California, most filming took place in various municipalities of Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, including: Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam; Richmond for the rural London Heritage Farm and for the Marine Garage in Steveston; and, Maple Ridge for the dump and for "John Berlin's" farmhouse. The film's sets were designed by the art director Richard Macdonald.

Bruce Robinson later said that the film had been hurt by studio interference: "There were four different heads of studio on that movie, they all wanted different things. The worst thing happened before we made the movie and that was having Andy (García), great guy that he is, on the movie. I didn't write it for a handsome young lead, I wrote it for a shagged out old cop like Gene Hackman or Al Pacino (...) The problem is the moment you see Andy García and Uma Thurman on screen together you think, "That ain't bad. A couple of romantic leads, that's nice." The whole point was that he was this fucked guy; he was Rod Steiger if you like."

Reception

Critical response

In her review for The New York Times, Janet Maslin felt the two hour running time resulted in unnecessary details unimportant to the mystery, unhelpful as its "mystery eventually proves to be its weakest element."

Box office
 the film grossed $11.4 million at the box office in the United States and Canada.

What is The Needle?
The changing meanings of The Needle are the inspiration for these pages. Above Alexanderplatz is Berlin's television tower. The Needle surveilled the city during East German times like a threatening eye; then its meaning changed after the Berlin Wall fell. Berliners now think of the tower as a giant disco ball flirting with the city lights––a symbol of sex, electronic music and youth culture. This weekly documents the Berlin Renaissance today, mindful of a dramatic and terrifying history. Berlin is Europe's most exciting city, and The Needle is here to share.

Ticknor, Payot, Upham--Books from Boston to San Francisco
This was a tough one to title because of the two companies indicated on the 1887 postal cover: Ticknor and Company of Boston, Publishers , and Payot, Upham & Co. of San Francisco, Booksellers . Each was important to the book trades on their respective coasts, each was important to the other, and each could have been featured in a separate post. I've written previously about Ticknor and its various business incarnations through the 19th century and beyond, so more attention will be given here to Payot, Upham & Company. However, for anyone interested in Ticknor history, here's a similar cover I wrote about last year, in which some company history is outlined. The covers are quite similar with minor differences in the Ticknor logos. Until 1870, the San Francisco bookselling firm, Henry Payot & Co. dealt primarily in foreign language books from European countries, particularly France. That is undoubtedly owed to the fact that founder Henry Payot was born to F
A letter from Tiffany Thayer of the Fortean Society
Charles Hoy Fort was a writer who, after several failed novels, finally found his audience with a nonfiction book titled The Book of the Damned (Horace Liveright, 1919), which is regarded as the first book to deal with the field of anomalistics , or paranormal phenomena. Fort and his writing attracted some very influential literary pals, such as Theodore Dreiser, an old friend who was instrumental in getting Fort's work published. Many others admired his writing and became founding members in a society dedicated to Fort and his works--the appropriately named Fortean Society. Writer Tiffany Thayer started the society. Dreiser served as the first president and they were joined in membership by notable literary figures such as Ben Hecht, Alexander Woolcott, Booth Tarkington, Dorothy Parker, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and H. L. Mencken. Ironically, Fort shunned the notion of such a society and refused to participate beyond the first meeting, in which he was lured to under false prete

A pot experiment was conducted to study the response of barley (Hordeum vulgare) to inoculation with Glomus fasciculatum in unsterilised organic matter amended soils on the colonization of barley roots by (V)-Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and other rhizosphere microflora. The populations of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes were higher in amended than in control soils. Paddy straw compost (PSC) stimulated all three groups of organisms (bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes) more than city compost (CC). The fungal and actinomycetes populations decreased with increasing plant age. The effect was more pronounced in the rhizosphere of paddy straw-amended soils. The mycorrhizal spore count and the colonization of barley roots by (V)-AM were more pronounced in soils amended with PSC than in those amended with CC.

Q: How to prevent Edit from displaying value defined during Create In short, the question is, how do I force React Admin to always render input values in an Edit form according to the state of the data returned from the API?
Background Info:
In my user create & edit forms, I have a password field.
My API never returns a password key/value.
After User Create, I am redirected to User Edit and the password input is filled in with the password I set in the create form, not the value from the API response.
This is not desired.
I presume this is all due to React Admin's "optimistic rendering"... but in the case of the user edit form, I would always like React Admin to respect the state of the data coming from the API.
I've set mutationMode to "pessimistic", but this does not effect the input values when redirected from Create, and Create has no "mutationMode".
So, anyone know how to always force Edit to pull its data from the API response?

A: Set the input field type to "password": <TextInput source="pass" type="password" />

A: React-admin stores the response of the dataProvider.create() in its cache for optimistic rendering. If you say that your API doesn't return the password, is it possible that your dataProvider merges the API response with the input data? That would explain the presence of the password.
