I feel like I need to apologize for the spotty posting this week. While I'd love to post more frequently and have more thought out articles the truth is some days I'm just so tired or don't feel well and things don't all seem to come together. Thankfully I'm finished with my first trimester of pregnancy but it's still been a bit rough. And at times I still have moments when I feel so heartbroken over losing my dad just 2 1/2 months ago. I miss him every day and have so much I want to share with him but can't, it's beyond frustrating.
But I have still gotten some things done. My jewelry shop has been stocked with some updated items, including these grey & copper earrings above.
I'm signing off for the weekend as I have some catching up to do work wise as well as around the house but before I do here are some noteworthy links to get your weekend started.
My kind sponsor Twig is offering AMM blog readers a special discount of 15% off storewide (even on sale items) valid from today until Tuesday! Use code AMM15 at checkout for your discount.
The ideal outside living area, complete with peonies and lanterns.
Australian based store The Minimalist has just opened a NYC branch, make sure to check it out here.
I love the cool toned styling in this post from Ikea's blog.
H&M has (finally!) opened their webshop, including their lines of home goods here in the US. When we were in Stockholm we visited their store and brought home some great bedding.
These new Oona rugs from Normann Copenhagen are so perfect, their unusual shape and simple lined detail would fit perfectly in our home.
I'm someone who loves lemon juice and I want to get every last drop I can out of each wedge. This turn around juicer from Muuto has a thick base that I think would make it easy to really make the most of those citrus fruits.
Beautiful new items in your lovely shop, I wish you a lovely weekend, and I really hope that you can feel much better, stay strong and surround with the people who love you like your beautiful family.
Have a nice weekend and recharge. Lovely links, i love H&M too, got to know them in Italy and Zurich, and bought some pretty things too, even stockings jejee. Hope they open soon in Costa Rica, sure they will. So glad you have them online.

Exhibitions and Projects
From 1918 onwards
Opening Hours and Entrance Fee
Library and Photo Library
Gal's Club
The National Gallery of Slovenia has been carrying out its mission for several decades: to collect, protect, research and present the Slovenian cultural heritage to the public. Together with our supporters we endeavour to add to the art fund with purchases, to rescue artworks from ruin or removal from the local environment through purchases, and to raise awareness of the importance of the Slovenian cultural heritage.
Over the decades, companies and individuals with a common interest helped financially, or otherwise, to bring to fruition the vision of the National Gallery of Slovenia and its desire to grow into the temple of the Slovenian arts and culture and at the same time become a place where one could meet in a relaxed atmosphere and share one's enthusiasm for the beauty of superior art. The state resources are unfortunately far from sufficient for the consistent implementation of our mission.
Since one of our priorities, besides interpreting the heritage to a wider audience, is adding to the art fund, we invite you to join us and help us in meeting our set goals. Every donation will be gratefully and carefully used to a purposeful end. In return, we would like to make you an offer which will be right for you.
We cordially invite you to visit us personally and find out about the various ways in which we could cooperate. We look forward to your visit!
Friends of the National Gallery of Slovenia
The Society of the Friends of the National Gallery of Slovenia was established in 1995. Our friends are united and brought together by an interest for art and history, a joy for exploration and new knowledge, as well as the wish for relaxed enjoyment in the gallery. By paying the annual membership fee, you help us to enrich the programme of events and activities, with which the Gallery opens its doors to a wide range of art lovers. In the same way we welcome you to contribute your ideas, experience and knowledge from your field of work.
A varied programme of events, which includes lectures, tours of cultural monuments in Ljubljana and its surroundings, and field trips in Slovenia or abroad, is prepared for our Friends each year.
Payment of the membership fee entitles you to year-round free admission to the Gallery and guided tours, lectures and to all other Gallery events. You also enjoy a discounted price on organised trips, concerts, purchases of our publications and participation in workshops and courses. Another bonus is that you can be among the first visitors to view the exhibitions and chat with their authors.
More information about the programme, its benefits and how to sign up, is available by following this link.
Sponsors and Donors
More and more works of art that could enhance our collections are appearing on the art market, yet we are unable to purchase them with the available resources, which is why they are going into the hands of other, often foreign, owners. With sponsorship funds we are trying to harness the outflow of valuable works of art, whereas the financial support comes in handy precisely in the implementation of many other projects which consistently meet our mission and at the same time enrich the programme of the National Gallery of Slovenia.
The works of art acquired through donations are accompanied by a note of acknowledgement.
We thank the companies that support us in our efforts by publishing their company logo on our website, in selected publications and promotional materials, as well as providing free hire of the foyer, which is suitable for gala events. Free guided tours of exhibitions and much more is also organised for the employees of these companies, and we are always open to new ideas on the ways in which we could cooperate.
A helping hand is always welcomed at the Gallery. We try to show our appreciation to volunteers for their creative contribution by maximizing opportunities for them to acquire new skills and knowledge.
You can help us in various ways: at the opening of new exhibitions and at other events, with the promotion and activities for the Friends of the National Gallery of Slovenia, or by providing security to the gallery collections. Depending on your interest, experience and professional competence, you may also be able to work with the following: the curators, in the restoration studio, in the library, as part of the documentation department, technical service or in the department of education. It is precisely the latter that offers a great variety of options: you can help at the workshops for children and families, in the activities of Gal's Club, birthday parties or by preparing the materials required for all creative activities.
Let us know your proposals and together we will find the most appropriate way to collaborate.
Bequests of Artworks
Bequests play an important role in complementing and expanding the art collections. By donating works of art to the Gallery you make sure that they will be carefully stored and will be available for public to admire and study.
Donated artworks, which are included in the permanent collection, are displayed with a dedication.

"Up Front and Center- New Orleans Music at the End of the 20th Century" is the first in-depth account of this very important era in the history of New Orleans music. It is filled with vivid descriptions of many of the most significant musical performances in the last two decades of the 20th century. Jay Mazza is an outstanding writer who was a constant presence in the clubs, concert halls, and festivals of the period.
The book begins with a foreword by iconic New Orleans trumpeter and personality, Kermit Ruffins. The first chapters set the stage for a thrilling ride through history by describing in rich detail the New Orleans milieu of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Musicians, bands, and clubs come to life as Mazza skillfully weaves the story. The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival serves as the thread tying the tale together. Three chapters discussing the Jazz Fest's adolescence, developing years, and emergence as the world's premier music festival bookend the text.
Mazza also provides the reader with a thorough socio-economic and cultural analysis of the myriad changes in the music community and the city at large. The rise of Frenchmen Street, the revival of the brass band community, the expansion of the music educational system, the saga of the 1984 World's Fair, and the development of the music media are among many of the topics considered in detail.
Fittingly, the book centers on the legendary and the under-acknowledged-until-now musicians who defined the era. The careers of such important artists as the Meters, Galactic, the subdudes, Kermit Ruffins, the Rebirth Brass Band, and Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews are discussed at length. Lesser-known musicians and bands that had a major impact on the music of New Orleans, including All That, Theryl DeClouet, Tribe Nunzio, the percussionist Michael Ward, Royal Fingerbowl, and Anthony "Tuba Fats" Lacen, are given their due.
Mazza's scintillating stories put the reader "up front and center" grooving to the music at many of the clubs that defined the time period. Sorely missed hot spots that had a direct role in the development of New Orleans music at the end of the 20th century, such as Benny's Bar, Dorothy's Medallion, the Rose Tattoo, and the Glass House, are featured prominently.


I wish to voice my respect for your kindness giving support to men who actually need guidance on that study. Your very own dedication to getting the message all through became rather informative and have constantly permitted professionals just like me to achieve their ambitions. Your own warm and friendly information means a lot a person like me and much more to my colleagues. Best wishes; from each one of us.

The Värikallio neolithic rupestrian drawings found in the area of the Hossa Nature Center is the biggest monument of ancient rock art in Finland. The neolithic rupestrian drawings found on the erect stone wall rising from Lake Somerjärvi were made in the Stone Age about 3500-4000 ago.
The neolithic rupestrian drawings are found on the rock located along a water way used in ancient times. They were made by ancient people who were either in boats or were standing on the ice surface. The rock has 61 images. They deal either with hunting or with shamanism. Apparently, the drawings show the ancient people's routes or some of the events. These neolithic rupestrian drawings are the only rock art images available in the Kainuu region. They were discovered in 1977.
Yet in ancient times Hossa was located at the water ways intercrossing. They go to the Gulf of Bothnia in the west and to the White Sea in the east. Apparently, ancient people making their drawings on the rocks of Värikallio wanted to fix their routes and various events on the rock surface. Normally, the Finnish neolithic rupestrian drawings are found on rocks located along important water ways. The Värikallio rocks as well as the other similar places are special due to good echoing.
As a rule, neolithic rupestrian drawings are associated with the magic of hunting. That sort of rocks might have been places where shamans performed their rituals. There are several images of the same horned person or the same person dressed as a wild beast on the Hossa rocks. The horned person might be either a witch or a shaman as horned headwear was an item of witch's clothes. At least later, that was typical of northern peoples dealing with hunt. The drawings might have stimulated the birth rate. According to Pekki Kivikasa who studied Finnish neolithic rupestrian drawings, most Värikallio drawings show us women and some of them are in labor.
Värikallio drawings in Hossa differ from other Finnish rock art images. Small moose images drawn in lines have not been found in other areas of Finland. The image of a man with a V shaped face, eyes and a nose is special. No boat images are found on the rocks of Värikallio, which is uncommon.
Finnish rock art images were not engraved but drawn. Ancient artists used ground of red and yellow colors. They got it heating clay containing iron. They added either blood, or some fat stuff or yolk to the solution.
Värikallio neolithic rupestrian drawings are available throughout the year.
In summer one can get to the site walking along a path. There is a viewing platform in front of the rock.
In winter on can get to the site either on skis or by motor sledge.
The staff is not available in Värikallio.
Admission to the site is free, except for thematic tours.


The obverse of these 1st century BC coins feature King Azes II on horse, holding a scepter, with a Greek royal headband and the Greek legend "The Great King of Kings Azes". Azes II is connected to the Bimaran casket, one of the earliest representations of the Buddha where several of his coins were discovered. The reverse side depicts the king of the gods Zeus, holding Nike the goddess of victory in his hand. In Greek mythology Zeus oversaw the universe and was the "father of gods and men". Known for his escapades, Zeus fathered many godly and heroic children including Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Perseus and Hercules.

It is easy to dismiss the simple act of stretching as a way to better health but the truth is it is certainly part of the program. Simple stretching exercises allow our muscles to perform their function in a way that they usually do not get to do in the course of ordinary life. By performing their function during our day's activities they stay in shape and stay limber and reflexive which is a key in good health. And keeping up a practice of doing simple exercises to activate your muscles is important.
All of us can remember when we were kids and the gym teacher lead us through a routine of stretching fitness for each and every muscle in our body before we did anything else. It is that practice that we are talking about. There was a reason that this was the first thing we did before anything else. The reason is that it limbers up the muscles and prepares them for activity that they would not be prepared for without the gentle stretching. Not only that but it is a mild form of strength building since in the process of stretching we are tearing subtle layers of muscle down and building back stronger layers.
Stretching is something that even the most inactive of us should be able to do. It requires little investment of time and even less investment of effort. However, it does provide real benefits to your long-term health and flexibility. One of the laments of almost all seniors is the lack of flexibility and subtleness they experience with age. Stretching daily can prevent this from being the result. Simple stretching allows the muscles to flex themselves and stay vibrant and healthy in the way that they are meant to in order to provide years of support and flexibility.
So if you wish to maintain flexibility into old age, try some simple stretching exercises for fitness keep your body flexible. This way you physical body's strength and will support you during your life so you can age with grace and freedom.

Q: short-cutting equality checking in F#? In F#, the equality operator (=) is generally extensional, rather than intensional.  That's great! Unfortunately, it appears to me that F# does not use pointer equality to short-cut these extensional comparisons.
For instance, this code:

type Z = MT | NMT of Z ref

// create a Z:
let a = ref MT
// make it point to itself:
a := NMT a

// check to see whether it's equal to itself:
printf "a = a: %A\n" (a = a)

... gives me a big fat segmentation fault[*], despite the fact that 'a' and 'a' both evaluate to the same reference. That's not so great. Other functional languages (e.g. PLT Scheme) get this right, using pointer comparisons conservatively, to return 'true' when it can be determined using a pointer comparison.
So: I'll accept the fact that F#'s equality operator doesn't use short-cutting; is there some way to perform an intensional (pointer-based) equality check?  The (==) operator is not defined on my types, and I'd love it if someone could tell me that it's available somehow.
Or tell me that I'm wrong in my analysis of the situation: I'd love that, too...
[*] That would probably be a stack overflow on Windows; there are things about Mono that I'm not that fond of...

A: There are two options that I'm aware of.  The standard .NET approach would be to use System.Object.ReferenceEquals.  A slightly better approach in F# might be to use LanguagePrimitives.PhysicalEquality which is basically identical, but only works on reference types (which is probably correct for your purposes) and requires both arguments to have the same static type.  You can also define a custom operator of your choice in terms of either of these functions if you'd like nicer syntax.
As an aside, on .NET I get an infinite loop but not a stack overflow when I run your code, presumably due to tail call optimization.


Allmusic awarded the album with 4.5 stars. The album followed the release of the Miles Davis composition So What as a single, which was popularised by London DJs and went on to become a classic of the 1990s acid jazz genre. A second single, the smooth jazz-flavoured After Hours, became the first of many to reach the US R&B charts.
Ronald Laurence Albert Simpson, known as Ronny Jordan (29 November 1962 – 13 January 2014) was a British guitarist at the forefront of the acid jazz movement at the end of the twentieth century. Jordan described his music as "urban jazz," a blend of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B.


Toyota is bringing high-end performance from the race track to your driveway with the 2020 Toyota Camry TRD and 2020 Toyota Avalon TRD. Both sedans have a sporty look with sleek aerodynamic lines that were designed by Calty, Toyota's U.S. design studio. And they're a thrill to drive, living up to the Toyota Racing Development badge.
The Camry and Avalon TRD are powered by a DOHC 3.5-liter V6 engine, and feature 8-speed automatic transmission with sport mode and paddle shifters for precise control. Cat-back dual exhausts give these models a deeper idle and acceleration sound.
Matte-black 19-inch alloy wheels add to the revved-up attitude of the Camry and Avalon TRD, while stiffer coil springs and front/rear sway bars enhance the chassis on both models. Take a look inside the Camry and Avalon, and you'll see eye-catching red trim and accents, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching and unique TRD floor and trunk mats.
Interested in learning more about the 2020 Toyota Camry TRD or the 2020 Toyota Avalon TRD? Give us a call or stop by our dealership at 11453 S Lone Peak Pkwy Draper, UT 84020. We look forward to serving our customers from Salt Lake City and Orem!

Levelling the playing field through SS7 security
With a proven case for monetisation and increasing levels of protection against grey route usage, the A2P industry has stabilised in recent years and is now predicted to see values rise to more than $70.32 billion USD by 2020*.
"… MNOs can protect their brand reputations and customers, all while still generating revenue."
Most SMS gateways have previously operated in an unrestricted environment; terminating A2P messages without perhaps realising the consequences faced by mobile network operators (MNOs). Today, recognised SS7 Firewall experts like HAUD are levelling the playing field for both parties to guarantee permitted access to subscribers. This means routes are protected, and spoof or fake sources and other fraudulent activity can be identified so MNOs can protect their brand reputations and customers, all the while increasing revenue.
Greater awareness around SS7 security has ensured that carriers and MNOs are now also under increased pressure to take the appropriate measures to safeguard the utilisation of their networks and, most importantly, their subscribers.
With increased levels of protection for the MNO, many gateways and messaging providers have adjusted their business models to focus heavily towards the premium end of the market. But despite many MNOs now applying filtering solutions to control inbound SMS traffic at an international level, the traditional source of grey route traffic, alternate means of low cost access points to mobile networks are being exploited.
"It is this satisfaction that will become even more crucial to guarantee a future for A2P SMS revenue"
When it comes to the long-term health of the A2P messaging market, a cooperative approach of MNOs and SMS gateways is required. Both rely on each other to grow revenue, and facilitating better working relationships between both parties ensures long-term customer satisfaction. It is this satisfaction that will become even more crucial to guarantee a future for A2P SMS revenue and combat OTT services, such as WhatsApp, whom have already left a footprint in the A2P space as well.
The best approach to ensure this is by monitoring and controlling SMS traffic coming into the MNO, only then can such synergies between MNO and the gateways be made possible.
Such security and traffic control is possible by deploying an advanced traffic management system with effective SS7 Security features that is capable of effectively controlling all access points, including Local SMPP connections and Off-Net interconnection traffic. HAUD's 'ring-fencing' solution can fulfil this need and make this win-win environment a reality, where the MNO would be able to monetize the traffic whilst the SMS gateways, would have the peace of mind that there is no grey route traffic entering the network enabling them to demand a healthy market price from the content providers to terminate to the MNO.
"MNOs and gateways pursuing a unified approach, working together to mitigate risks will experience significant benefits."
Without an active and holistic solution, such as HAUD's, a significant portion of revenue will be lost, and unprotected routes are likely to attract 'lower quality' traffic, which damages the long-term viability of the A2P space, also leaving the network and the subscribers vulnerable.
MNOs and gateways pursuing a unified approach, working together to mitigate risks will experience significant benefits. Shared work streams like these certainly ensure a higher level of service for the customers, and, in turn, provide an increased slice of the market for those MNOs and gateways that have the foresight to collaborate now.

Top 6 Reasons to Study in Winnipeg
Winnipeg is the best biggest small city you'll ever find
UWinnipeg PACE
Sometimes people ask, "why would I study in Winnipeg?" Of course those of us who've spent any amount of time here know the answer is easy: Winnipeg is the biggest small city you'll live in. The city has a certain cool to it (and not just because of the cold, cold winters!). It's a city full of arts and culture, festivals and entertainment, amazing city parks and nature on our doorstep and in any direction you go, major league sports teams, with family-friendly neighbourhoods, an affordable cost of living, and of course top-notch educational institutions.
#1: Bask in the spotlight
Big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal draw the bulk of the interest of people near and far when they think of Canada, while Winnipeg has previously flown under the radar on the world stage.
"People are no longer asking where Winnipeg is; they're talking about all the things that are happening here," says Danya Spiring, President & CEO of Economic Development Winnipeg in their 2018 Annual Report.
But there is no shortage of accolades for Winnipeg. From being being featured on the cover of Time Magazine as one of the World's Greatest Places in 2021, landing the title of the World's Most Intelligent Community for 2021, and named Lonely Planet naming Manitoba the Top 10 Regions on its 2019 Best in Travel List.
Winnipeg (and the rest of our beautiful province) has been thrust into the spotlight. But the city in the heart of Canada is so much more than just a travel destination; Winnipeg is the ideal destination if you want to study in Canada.
#2: The IT factor
Winnipeg provides opportunities to succeed. We know success is important to those considering any form of tertiary education – whether it's earning their first university experience, or pursuing a post-degree diploma to add the finishing touches to a longer educational journey, particularly for those considering studying abroad.
With a burgeoning IT sector, many small and medium sized ICT companies set up shop in Winnipeg, providing a wealth of opportunities to new graduates entering the IT workforce. And it's not just the IT sector. Winnipeg's labour market outlook is positive, with an economy that generated more than 11,200 net new jobs pre-pandemic and unemployment rates are already rebounding in 2021 after the effect of lockdowns in 2020. Business development support from Economic Development Winnipeg help five companies establish and expand operations in Winnipeg, which at maturity are estimated to add $17 million in new or retained annual payroll.
#3: Immigration pathways
The Manitoba provincial government offer incentives to attract international students, skilled workers, and entrepreneurs. The Provincial Nominee Program assists people with the skills needed in the local labour market, such as those learning in PACE's industry-aligned programs, and interested making an immediate and ongoing contribution to the Manitoba economy and community in securing permanent residence visas.
Graduates of UWinnipeg are also able to take advantage of national policies in place to help smooth the transition from a study permit to a work permit for those graduates interested in staying in Winnipeg after completing their post graduate education.
As designated learning institutions, graduates from our post-degree diplomas are eligible for the post-graduation work permit, which is issued by the Government of Canada to graduates from designated learning institution who want to say in Canada and work after finishing their programs.
#4: Cost of living
Economic Development Winnipeg highlights a number of measures where Winnipeg scores well compared to other cities in Canada for affordability and economic prospects, all of which are good news for students and soon-to-be graduates entering the local workforce.
People considering studying in Canada's bigger cities have to budget much more to account for cost of living, while Winnipeg offers a distinct edge:
Manitoba has among the lowest rental and housing costs in Canada, with average housing costs that are nearly 42% lower than the Canadian average.
Outside of Quebec, Winnipeg has the lowest child care costs.
In 2018, Winnipeg ranked 2nd in GDP growth out of 13 Canadian metropolitan cities.
Winnipeg's labour market outlook is positive, with the economy anticipated to generate more than 11,200 net new jobs in 2018-19.
Former student Violet Abdul agrees. She moved from Abudja, the federal capital of Nigeria in December 2019. Violet relocated to Winnipeg to pursue a Human Resource Management Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE.
"You will especially enjoy the cost of living in Winnipeg, it is very affordable," says Violet. "As a student you can plan and live comfortably within a low budget," says Violet, who moved here with her family, including three children between the ages of five and 11.
#5 Sense of community
At around 810,000 inhabitants, Winnipeg is a small city with a big town feeling, with attractive neighborhoods, boasting their own community vibes. We asked some of our current students what they love about Winnipeg.
"I like the warmth of the city," says Violet. "Winnipeg has a moderate sized population so it's not congested. Anytime you go out shopping or visiting a fun spot, you're most likely going to run into someone you know. The residents are kind and polite, even to a fault."
Project Management Diploma student Ramandeep Singh agrees. Originally from New Delhi, India, Ramandeep has also lived in London, UK, before moving to Winnipeg.
"What I like about Winnipeg is that is a relaxed city," he says, who adds that the advantage of studying at a downtown campus means that he can live in the heart of the city and walk to school every day.
#6 Cultural hub
Winnipeg also has a lot of offer its residents when they're not busy working or hitting the books for their programs of study. With festivals year round, you can experience Winnipeg's distinct seasons while enjoying the rich cultural heritage and artistic talents of the citizens.
From the Festival du Voygeur celebrating Manitoba's francophone roots and culture during the depths of the Manitoban winter in February, to the Winnipeg Folk Festival showcasing local and international musical talent under the baking summer sun of July, there is something for everyone. Manito Ahbee, Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Pride Winnipeg, Wall-to-Wall, and the Winnipeg International Soca Reggae Festival are just a few of the festivals you can expereince throughout the year.
For those thinking of studying in Canada, choosing to study at The University Winnipeg offers the best of all worlds.
Find out which full time program is right for you. With industry-aligned, hands-on diploma programs in high-growth fields through PACE, a downtown campus in the heart of Canada, exceptional teaching quality, and engaging student life activities in a world-class city, students can make the most of time both in and out of the classroom.
Winnipeg has a strong labour market that offers opportunities for long-term career growth in a city that also offers a great quality of life, and is an affordable place to live and raise a family. That translates in great opportunities for recent grads looking to establish themselves and their families.

Q: Jquery Ajax Bad Request 400 Wordpress Widget I am trying to send a package to admin-ajax.php to save the info into a $_POST variable to handle it in cart page... But the .ajax only fail...

var sendJsonA = {'value':'Llegando desde JSON'}
var ajaxurl = $('#ele_admin-ajaxURL').attr('data-value') //this is is "https://blablabla.com.ve/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" -->>> err 400 bad request
// var ajaxurl = '<?php echo admin_url("admin-ajax.php"); ?>'; doasnt work neither error 404 not found

  jQuery.ajax({
   data: sendJsonA,
   url:ajaxurl,
   type:'POST',
   dataType:'json',
   beforeSend: function(){
    console.log('Se envia : '+JSON.stringify(sendJsonA))
   },
   success: function(response){
    console.log('Se recibe : '+JSON.stringify(response))

   }
  })
  .done(function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {
   if ( console && console.log ) {
     console.log( "La solicitud se ha completado correctamente."+ JSON.stringify(jqXHR) );
   }
  })
  .fail(function( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {
   if ( console && console.log ) {
    console.log( "La solicitud a fallado 2: " +  JSON.stringify(jqXHR)+"----------------");//this is the only message i see in the console

   }
  });
function ele_inSelectionGrid()
{
 echo "Mostrando texto antes de POST : ".$_POST['value'];
 if ( isset( $_POST['value'] ) ) {
  $numbers=$_POST['value'];
  session_start();
  $_SESSION['value']=$numbers:
     die();
 }

};
add_action('wp_ajax_ele_inSelectionGrid', 'ele_inSelectionGrid');
//this never happends

I dont know what to try...
Also I have to say that the security certificate of the host is expired for more than 100 days, every time I try to open the hosting it sends an error warning of unsafe site because it does not have a valid security certificate and it has not yet been renewed. This can intervene? Since ajax uses https. It happens that other woocommerce ajax applications work well because the console displays messages from finished XHR Loading from other applications
i dont know what else to try, to continue with this proyect.

A: You have to set the action property of the data you are sending via ajax, so that wordpress knows which wp_ajax_xxxx function to run.
For example in your case you want to call wp_ajax_ele_inSelectionGrid, so you must add a property "action": "ele_inSelectionGrid" to your data object, ie:
var sendJsonA = {'value':'Llegando desde JSON', 'action': 'ele_inSelectionGrid'};

There are some more examples in this question.


A neighborhood wine shop in the heart of Ballard, Portalis offers well-chosen wines and a bar that doubles as tasting room and classroom. KBdesign was there from the get-go to launch branding for this iconic establishment. Portalis has expanded their reach in the industry by moving into importing and distribution as well as producing their own line of wines – 1851 Cellars – and KBdesign has been along for the glorious ride.
+ While expanding our design scope on this project, we also had the much-enjoyed experience of expanding our wine-tasting palates.


Five webinar attendees will each win a copy of Microsoft Office 2010 software! The names will be chosen at random at the end of the webinar. You must be present at the time of the drawing to win.
Students and teachers can improve learning outcomes with anytime, anywhere access to content and extending the classroom across platform, devices or locations. New technologies allow school districts to improve communications regardless of what computer or mobile device anyone uses or where they are. And the district can use eRate funds to pay for it.
This webinar will show how two school districts have enabled students, teachers, and administrators to be more productive by giving them easy access to email, calendaring tools, voice mail, and instant messaging on multiple devices. You will learn how they communicate and collaborate no matter where they are or what devices they use. Additional advantages are how they've simplified IT management, provided extra security, grown with the district's needs, and saved them money.


The NIPS experiment is making waves. If you are unaware, for the last NIPS conference, the PC was broken into two independent halves A and B. A random selection of the submissions were assigned to both committees. The result: 57% of the papers that were accepted by committee A were rejected by committee B (and vice versa).
If the average number of times a paper is submitted to a conference before it is accepted is 2-3, then we as a community are doing 2-3 times more work when it comes to writing & publishing: formatting papers to the will of the conference, reviewing papers, serving on PCs, reassuring students, consoling ourselves over beer. Should we be spending our limited time & resources on this? I do understand that papers can improve between different submissions, but with higher quality, constructive reviews, resubmitting once would be much less a burden. And perhaps if people felt like the system wasn't so random, we wouldn't try rolling the dice so early and often. And perhaps we would have time to do a more thorough job as reviewers.
I have personally experienced this during graduate school and I'm sure I and my students will experience this in future. A second or third year student puts in about one year worth of work with the hope that he/she will have his/her first top-tier (FOCS or ICML) conference paper soon. The rejections and bad reviews can essentially kill the confidence of that student. To some extent, this can also happen to the junior faculty.
One colleague worried about students dropping out of science altogether as a result of this. On a personal note, I have definitely changed my publishing behavior to favor journals where, although the time lag can be great, comes with a discussion between author and reviewer via the editor. I have only had one 'bad' experience with trying to get something published in a journal. I would say that I've had a 'bad' experience with at least half of my conference submissions. I have taken to rolling the dice once, if at all.
Add this together with our lack of double-blind reviews in TCS, we may be doubly hitting underrepresented populations, whose work is more likely to be dismissed by a dominant-group reviewer.
We should fix our conference system. Or just trash it altogether. I'd like to point out that the latter option would be better for the planet.
Another issue with the "just resubmit your papers" response is that, I have seen on PCs that being rejected at another conference is seen as a demerit, making it less likely to get in the place it is currently under review. This is particularly harmful for borderline papers – the ones at the most mercy of randomness.
How does the PC know that a paper was rejected at a previous conference?
With 3-4 subreviews/reviews on each paper and the goal of trying to get experts to review the paper, there is a pretty good chance that someone who had reviewed the paper before would do so again. Also there is often someone who is on the current committee who was also on the previous committee. Or someone on the PC that knows the person who submitted the paper.

'New York Times' Reports NBA Assistant Kristi Toliver Is Paid Like An Intern
When Kristi Toliver was hired as an assistant coach by the Washington Wizards, she was just 1 of 3 active women coaches in the NBA. Coaching was a career goal for Toliver. She's also a WNBA star. She plays point guard for the Washington Mystics. But a problem emerged. If she wanted to coach in the NBA, she'd need to accept a tiny salary - $10,000 a year. Now, NBA assistant coaches typically make $100,000 a year or more. Some make over a million.
Howard Megdal broke this story for The New York Times. He's with me via Skype to explain why it is that a talented female coach is earning peanuts coaching men in the NBA. Good morning, Howard.
HOWARD MEGDAL: Good morning.
KING: So Kristi Toliver is a player and a coach. As a player, she makes a normal WNBA salary. As a coach, she's earning next to nothing - $10,000 a year. How did that happen?
MEGDAL: Well, it happened, in part, because progress has exceeded what the collective bargaining agreement between the players and the WNBA allow for. So the last collective bargaining agreement called for players to be able to be paid up to $50,000 as a team for offseason work. Now, that offseason work, by definition, did not include coaching because at that time, there were not coaches who were WNBA players.
So she came up against a very simple issue, which is that $50,000 was the max that could be paid to all the players for offseason work, and 40,000 of that had already been promised to her Mystics teammate Elena Delle Donne.
KING: So we've got a talented woman coach, and she can't make more than $10,000 a year. Did Kristi Toliver or the Wizards try to fight this? Because, as you lay out in your story, it is really galling. It just seems wildly unfair.
MEGDAL: And that is precisely it. It is galling and unfair. And, yes, they both tried to fight it. And the Wizards, to their credit, tried to do so as well.
KING: In your piece, you spoke to Kristi Toliver, and she seemed frustrated, but she also seemed pretty optimistic. What was your impression of her as a player, as a coach, as a person?
MEGDAL: I've covered Kristi for a long time. She's one of the brightest people that you're going to meet in any profession. So I wasn't surprised about it. I also think there's been an ethos in women's basketball, and really women's sports as a whole, that there's an effort to trailblaze today so that tomorrow's battles are a little bit easier to fight or don't even have to be fought at all. And I think that may play a part in it.
KING: Even though Kristi Toliver is only one person in this situation, this is likely to come up in a new contract negotiation - that this is a very unfair set of circumstances?
MEGDAL: It will definitely come up. The players association is very committed to this. And for the league, it's an opportunity to have a significant number of talented basketball minds coach, as well. So it's an extra influx of talent. So it really is something that both sides have a financial interest in getting solved.
KING: Could this have happened with a male player who also wanted to coach? Say you've got a talented point guard, and he says, in the offseason, I want to coach a women's team. Would he be in the same situation, where there is a cap on how much he could be paid as a coach?
MEGDAL: The short answer is nothing like that would occur. The cap is much higher than $50,000 on the men's side. The money is significantly different as a whole in the NBA. And as a result, it simply wouldn't be something that would be punitive for an NBA player who is tempted to do that.
KING: Howard Megdal is the editor of High Post Hoops, which is a site dedicated to women's basketball, and he broke this story about Kristi Toliver in The New York Times. Thanks, Howard.
MEGDAL: Thank you.

Small, shingled, onion-shaped domes are affixed on the high slim drums with arrow-shaped windows. It has annulated chains which are fixed to the body's bowls through the double tags.

I easily install upwards of 8 Ubuntu Server VM's every week in order to test some or other thing.  After OS installation, there is a list of settings that I change and configurations that I make in order to prepare it for any general server work.  This playbook aims to automate that as far as possible.

## Dependencies
* Ansible
* sshpass (http://thornelabs.net/2014/02/09/ansible-os-x-mavericks-you-must-install-the-sshpass-program.html)

## Usage
1. Copy `group_vars/all.example` to `group_vars/all`, and modify to taste (everything is pretty self-explanatory).
2. Create `my.hosts` with a section named "[all]", and add your target host(s) beneath it.
3. Then run `./run-initial.sh` for an initial installation (you'll need to provide your sudo user's password).  Subsequent runs can be completed with `./run.sh` if a public key was installed for your user on the remote machine.

## Todo
Add additional fluff, such as .vimrc files and what-not.

A collaborative effort, Romeo y Julieta teamed up with AJ Fernandez for a medium to full-bodied Nicaraguan powerhouse. Encased in a Cuban-seed Habano 2000 wrapper, RyJ Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez employs a skillful concoction of hand-selected Cuban-seed long-fillers. With flavors of spice, leather, and cedar, this genius partnership between two of the industry's most prominent players proved to be a fruitful venture.


By the time you get to college, you should have a reasonably good idea about how to write an essay. You will also be able to find guidelines in your course outline, and from previous examples provided by your teacher. In fact, many teachers make a point of passing around examples of essays and papers that achieved high grades and ones that got low ones. This is so that you will have a better idea of how to present your work.
There is more to the writing process than layout, research, and writing, however. Carry on reading to find out the things you should be doing every time you sit down to write an essay or paper.
Making sure your chair is comfortable and makes typing easier is an essential part of essay writing preparation. In fact, some students prefer not to sit at all. There are standing desk areas available in many campus libraries now. Give standing and typing a try if you have a paragraph or two to type out.
The environment in which you choose to type and research is as important as the words you write. Try to find a space that you enjoy working in, and alert everyone who invades that space to be respectful of your process. Research has shown that the chances of making a typo are significantly higher when you are interrupted by a loud noise or sudden movement. The place where you choose to write must be stress-free.
The device on which you choose to write should also be comfortable and ergonomically designed. The keyboard should have flat keys so that your fingers are not raised at a strange angle. Make some adjustments to the screen brightness to find the best setting for you, especially if you are working at night. Keep food and drink away from your equipment at all times. Keep it in your backpack or drawer, use it sitting away from your desk, and then return it to the correct place.
If all of this preparation has got you thinking to yourself: "I prefer someone to write my paper for me" – then you should look into hiring a custom academic writing service – they are the best way to get a well-written paper in the subject of your choice in time for submission.
Never mind spilling food crumbs or soda on your keyboard; some students don't place enough importance on food and drink in general. This will be detrimental to your health in the long and short term and affect your concentration levels while writing. Set aside designated meal times and snack times and try to eat something healthy in one or two of them.
If you begin to control the conditions and facilities that surround you, you will find the writing process much. When you are well nourished, hydrated, and comfortable, then writing becomes stress-free.
