Q: virtualenv confusion So I open a terminal, cd to my desktop, and run:
virtualenv test_env
I then create the following file in my normal environment:
/home/jesse/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/foo_package/__init__.py
This file contains one line:
print "importing from normal env"
In the test_env I create:
/home/jesse/Desktop/test_env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/foo_package/__init__.py
Containing:
print "importing from test env"
Now I open a terminal and run:
$ /home/jesse/Desktop/test_env/bin/python
And then do:
>>> import foo_package
Which outputs:
importing from normal env
Why doesn't it import the file from test_env?  I thought that was the whole point of virtualenv.  Am I missing something here?
Edit:  Jon H informed me that I need to activate the environment.  But this doesn't seem to fix the problem...

Edit 3:  I found this:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-virtualenv/+bug/339904  Apparently there are some issues with virtualenv + python 2.6 + ubuntu 9.04.  Not sure if that's related to my issue...  I tried uninstalling the python-virtualenv package via Synaptic and then installing version 1.3.4 of virtualenv via easy_install, but still have the same problem...

This looks like a step forward, because test_env stuff is appearing in the path, but it's still not working.  I think my current problem is that '/home/jesse/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages' occurs in the path before '/home/jesse/Desktop/test_env/lib/python2.6/site-packages'
Edit 4:  Roger suggested creating the env with the --no-site-packages option.  I tried that.  Same problem.

Again, it looks like the problem is the site-packages in my ".local" appears earlier in the path than the site-packages in "test_env".

A: You're running into a bug in virtualenv. It has not yet been updated to handle .local directories properly. I've filed an issue for this at the bug tracker.
UPDATE: this bug is now fixed in virtualenv 1.4.2 and later.

A: From the steps you mentioned, it seems you haven't activated the virtual env. Do:
source bin/activate

.. within the virtualenv you created. You should see something like:
(test_env)computername:foldername$

Running python from here should get your virtualenv version.
Without this step it will still use your default Python installation.

A: Edit: Post above me is correct, you forgot to activate. Using virtualenvwrapper I've never really done that step so my bad :)
Looking at that, it looks like you're doing everything right but I would like to make a suggestion incase you've never heard of it: virtualenvwrapper makes working with virtualenv so much quicker and easier. Might be fun to try it out and see if you still get the same issue, maybe you'll find what you were missing.

A: And you need to create the virtual environment with the option --no-site-packages

Lululemon: After a Big Quarter, Is It 'Firing on All Cylinders?'
David Marino-Nachison
June 1, 2018 11:07 am ET
The only thing that might be able to slow Lululemon Athletica down these days is its stock's own success.
Heck, even its own guidance appears to be insufficient. In March, the company told investors to expect fiscal Q1 (ended April 29) EPS of no higher than $0.46; last night, it reported $0.55, making some analysts' projections look kind of silly in retrospect.

The Barron's Next 50
"Nobody's doing a victory lap," Executive Chairman Glenn Murphy said on a Thursday afternoon conference call. Still, investors were happy: The shares were up nearly 15% in morning trading.
Management crowed about widening margins and same-store sales that increased 8%; Lululemon's (LULU) direct-to-consumer sales also jumped, rising more than 60%. (They also said the search for a new CEO could be moving toward its conclusion.) Signals that customers like what Lulu is selling were, in short, confirmed with style.
Results like yesterday's arguably make it difficult to know what to make of management's guidance; nevertheless, the Barron's Next 50 company raised full-year sales estimates from the $2.98-$3.02 billion range to $3.04-$3.07 billion; EPS projections went from $3.00-$3.08 to $3.10-$3.18.
Both revisions are less aggressive than the company's Q1 outperformance; Instinet analysts guessed Thursday that its Q2 projections will "prove conservative," noting that the company tends to beat its own numbers.
With the shares up more than 50% in 2018, well ahead of the S&P 500, some analysts now find the stock's chief fault is its price. "Current valuation multiples limit the upside potential," wrote Cannacord Genuity, which set a $95 price target — well of current levels around $120 — on the shares.
Others, however, aren't so shy. Susquehanna raised its target to $121 on Friday, instructing investors to buy "even after the recent increase in the stock price. The company is firing on all cylinders and is not complacent."

The Tragic Story Behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", Now Those Involved Reveal What Happened
By Tanya | Nov 02, 2018
Sony BMG Music Entertainment
Pearl Jam is one of those iconic 90s bands that everyone remembers hearing. They were edgier than the popular music, instead fitting in alongside Nirvana in the grunge style of music that was becoming popular.
Like Nirvana, Pearl Jam originated from Seattle. The band has remained extremely successful in the years since its inception, but one song they wrote definitely brought the band to the attention of a lot more people.
In 1992, their song "Jeremy" was released as a part of their debut album. The song was their first foray into more story-driven lyrics, but a lot of people don't actually realize what the song is actually about a real event.
Pearl Jam lead vocalist has explained that "Jeremy" is based on two different real life incidents involving school shootings.
One was from his own childhood, where he said a boy named Brian opened fire in a classroom of his school, but the other was pulled directly from the headlines.
Lead Singer Eddie Vedder in Jeremy Music Video. Sony BMG Music Entertainment
A 16-year-old boy named Jeremy Delle was attending Richardson High School in Texas. It was January 8th, 1991, when he arrived late to class at 9:45 am.
His teacher told him to go to the office to get an admittance slip for being late, but when he returned to the classroom he allegedly said "Miss, I got what I really went for," and pulled out a gun and shot himself before anyone could react.
The tragic and horrific event was unexpected to everyone in the classroom and especially the young man's mother. She never spoke publicly about her son's death until this year, finally giving her opinions on what happened.
Jeremy Delle's mother, Wanda, shared her story. WFAA ABC 8
At the time of her son's suicide, Wanda was at work. She received a call and was stunned to hear what had happened.
"I was in my office at work," Wanda said in an interview with WFAA "... I didn't believe it. I was in shock. Not my son. I was going to pick him up that afternoon at school."
Heartbroken over her son's life, Wanda still wants people to know that it shouldn't be all people remember about him.

"That day that he died did not define his life," she said. "He was a son, a brother, a nephew, a cousin, a grandson. He was a friend. He was talented."
It took her a long time to come to terms with the loss of her son, and while she's obviously still devastated by it, twelve years ago she started her own grief support group to help others who are going through losses like this and putting her own experiences to good use.
She's not the only one speaking up about Jeremy's suicide, as the segment also followed up with one of the students who was in the classroom at the time of his death.
Brittany King talking about classmate Jeremy Delle WFAA ABC 8
Brittany King, a fellow student, felt like the incident made her "grow up pretty quick, literally overnight."
She said it was like "a big wakeup call" and that there was often more than meets the eye. "Like, you know what? Life is not all hunky-dory all the time. Real things, tragedies happen."
King said that after the gunshot rang out, all the students rushed away, crowding at the back of the room. That was when she made a choice that she still thinks about to this day.
"Should I look?" she recalled thinking. "I remember thinking that. 'Should I look?' And I did, I looked. I don't know why. I don't know why I looked. And I'll never forget. I will never forget it."
Brittany King was upset by Pearl Jam's song. WFAA ABC 8
When the song came out, King was upset by it. "I was angry at them for writing that song," she said. "I thought, you don't know. You weren't there. That story isn't accurate."
After seeing Delle's story in newspaper, Vedder decided that it was a good topic for a song. In an interview he explained his process for writing the lyrics.
The child in the Jeremy music video stands at the front of the class before it cuts out, showing the other children covered in blood. Sony BMG Music Entertainment
"Now, uh, I remember one night in this basement when I was writing that … that I thought, man … I guess they can't sue us for this one because I'm writing about it after it happened, you know?
Some kid did this. I didn't make that up and that's a fact. It came from a small paragraph in a paper which means you kill yourself and you make a big old sacrifice and try to get your revenge.
That all you're gonna end up with is a paragraph in a newspaper. Sixty-three degrees and cloudy in a suburban neighborhood. That's the beginning of the video and that's the same thing is that in the end, it does nothing … nothing changes.
The world goes on and you're gone. The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself. Be stronger then those people. And then you can come back. That's kinda what I did. Now all those people who were my enemies want to be my friends. They don't understand why, uh, I don't respond to them."
The classroom set of the Jeremy music video cast children younger than what Jeremy actually was at the time of his suicide. Sony BMG Music Entertainment
But it's easy to see why King and Delle's family was upset by this band profiting off of their horrible experience.
Vedder claimed that he didn't want to contact the family at the time of recording because it would be "intrusive" but just assumed the story of the young boy based on his other experiences.
The song is one thing, but by making the music video the way they did really must have been hard for the friends and family of Jeremy Delle to see as it attempted to recreate the incident.

Do you think that Pearl Jam should have used this story to write a song, or should they have just left it alone?

Hootie And The Blowfish Are Making A Comeback In A Huge Way
Hootie and the Blowfish are one of those bands that helped define the 90s. You couldn't go more than two hours without hearing one of their songs after they hit it big.But as is the case with most bands, Hootie and the Blowfish decided to take a break. In 2008, their lead singer Darius Rucker went solo, and became successful on his own.

The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

Hanson Reveals What 'MmmBop' Actually Means, And What It's Like To Sing It 20 Years Later
When we think back to the 90s, we can pretty much hear the epic pop tunes as they sail through our memories. Whether you were a Backstreet Boys fan, a Spice Girl devotee, or Nirvana aficionado, there was one song that forced its way into the collective unconscious of us all. "MMMBop" was released in 1997, and thanks to the constant repeating loops on the radio and the repetitive chorus, it became stuck in each and every one of our heads for eternity. Even though a lot of boy bands and girl groups went their separate ways, Hanson has stayed

Mission challenges, lessons learned and guiding principles; policing with communities in fragile and conflict-affected states.
"Policing assistance within an international mission environment is widely recognised as being complex and fraught with challenges. Within security sector reform programmes, policing is a central pillar, encompassing a range of activities that have moved beyond monitoring of local police organisations to reforming, rebuilding, restructuring and redeveloping. There is broad recognition of the need to better understand the challenges faced by police practitioners within this context. Recent and ongoing initiatives by international organisations including the United Nations and the European Union are working towards the development of mission 'best practice' through a 'lessons-to-be-learned' approach and transfer into guidance material."

A man has been given a suspended sentence after he threatened a friend of his sister with a knife when he had been drinking.
Leeds Crown Court heard Malachy Boyle went round to the address of his sister Sarah in Ruskin Grove, Deighton in the early hours of July 19 last year.
While in the property he began arguing with her about the death of their mother. Her friend Samantha Jeffrey intervened and spoke up for her.
She snatched the knife from him, suffering a cut to her hand in the process and Miss Boyle then pushed her brother out of the house and locked the door to prevent further trouble.
The court heard from a probation officer that Boyle uses cocaine and heroin but could be given another chance with a drug rehabilitation requirement under a suspended sentence.
Boyle, 48 of Spencer Terrace, Deighton, admitted affray and was given 10 months in prison suspended for two years with a nine month drug rehabilitation requirement, 30 days activity and a six month electronically monitored curfew from 8pm to 6am each day.
Judge Tom Bayliss QC told him the curfew was to stop him going out drinking.

Bobby Hernandez pleads guilty to kidnapping charges
Cleveland – The Alabama man who spirited his young son away from the boy's mother in 2002 and brought him to Cleveland where they lived for 13 years under false identities has pled guilty to kidnapping and related charges, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty announced today.
Bobby Hernandez, 53, entered a plea of guilty to two counts of Kidnapping, 10 counts of Tampering with Records, two counts of Interference with Custody and one count of Forgery. All counts, except the Forgery, are felonies.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Cassandra Collier-Williams accepted the pleas, found the defendant guilty and set a sentencing date of April 13. Mr. Hernandez faces up to 54 years in prison.
"This conviction is meant to send a message to anyone else who might seek to punish the other parent by kidnapping their child: There will be a high price to pay," Prosecutor McGinty said after the hearing. "Depriving a mother of her child and a son of his mother's love for 13 years is a cruel crime."
Mr. Hernandez and his former girlfriend were ending their relationship in August of 2002 when he and their son disappeared. Police reports at the time indicated that Mr. Hernandez had told the boy's mother that if she ever broke up with him, she'd never see her son again.
Mr. Hernandez brought the boy to Cleveland where Mr. Hernandez created false identities for himself —he went by the name Jonathan Mangina — and his son.
Cleveland police arrested Mr. Hernandez on November 2, 2015, after the FBI received a tip that he and his missing son were living in Cleveland.
"We weren't going to let this go and proceed lightly," Prosecutor McGinty said. "Just think if this was your child or your grandchild, what a terrible thing it would be. You would wonder everyday what had happened to him."

CBN Claims $2.6bn Not $26bn as Diaspora Remittances!, By Henry Boyo
ColumnistBusiness NewsEditor's Pick
By Olaotan Falade	 On Oct 21, 2019
Mr. Henry Boyo
BY HENRY BOYO
In the World Bank's 2018 report, titled "Nigerians Living abroad sent $22bn home in 2017", the Bank noted that, the top recipients of Diaspora remittances were India with $69bn, Chile ($64bn), Philippines $33bn, Mexico $31bn, Nigeria $22bn and Egypt $20bn. Notably, however, sub-Sahara Africa, attracts the most expensive average remittance cost at about 9.4 per cent, compared with the global average of 7.1 per cent. The cost of remittance for Nigerian beneficiaries, clearly, exceeds 19 per cent as N305=$1 instead of N360=$1, is ultimately paid to recipients locally.
Furthermore, in another article titled "Diaspora Remittances 2015-2018: Positive indication on human capital development" by Inwalomhe Donald, in The Guardian Newspaper of 18th June 2019, the author noted that "data from CBN, with regard to Diaspora remittances, had outpaced oil revenue in 2015 as $21.2billion was officially sent home, by Nigerians abroad, compared with $19.6billion oil export proceeds. Similarly, Nigeria's Diaspora remittances in 2016 and 2017 were $19.7billion and $22billion respectively, compared with oil export revenue of $10.4billion and $13.4billion. The Guardian report also noted that CBN'S ANNUAL ECONOMIC DATA, confirms that "the oil revenue was $18billion while Diaspora remittance was $25.1billion in 2018; this value confirms Nigeria as the number one African country and among the top five countries globally for such remittances!" which CBN indicated "were equal to 5.6% of Nigeria's GDP in 2017!"
PWC, an International Intervention Conglomerate, also reported that 2018 Diaspora remittances, was 14 per cent higher in 2017, and 7 times the total foreign aid of about $3.359bn to Nigeria; the PWC report also confirmed that the 2018 remittances of $25bn represented 6.1 per cent of Nigeria's GDP, and 11 times the value of Foreign Direct Investment, but was equal to 84 per cent of 2018 budget. Consequently, PWC expressed concern that "one may never know or be privy to the fundamental reasons why Nigerian Governments have serially failed, to harness the significant human and material Capital of the Diaspora Communities, as catalysts for our developmental aspirations, as some other countries have successfully done"!
Incidentally, on Saturday, 12th October 2018, Andrew Nevin, the PWC Chief Economist, expressed this same view on Channels TV, Sunrise programme, when he emphasized the need to create a Special Purpose Vehicle, to transform Nigeria's economy and GDP with the significant annual harvest from the Diaspora.
There is, clearly indisputable consensus, up to this point, between World Bank Reports, and CBN and PWC official estimates on the value of Diaspora remittances.
Inexplicably, however, CBN's record of the value of these remittances, seems to have changed radically, in the THISday Newspaper report, of Sunday 13/10/2019 titled "CBN Clarifies Diaspora Remittances; Says Official Inflows is $2.6bn, Not $26bn!!"
The CBN's unexpected pushback, was published, barely 7 days after Anthony Ani, who was Finance Minister 1993 to 1998, queried the present destination of Diaspora dollar remittances, in an article, titled, "$26bn Diaspora Remittances: Where are the Dollars?" In that article, Tony Ani alluded to the alleged abuses identified by a columnist, Henry Boyo, in the Punch edition of September 9, 2019.
Curiously, the former Minister, believes that these Remittances are massively laundered by Nigeria's banks, and therefore explained that, "When in 1995 we at the Ministry of Finance, reviewed the country's sources of foreign revenues, we found out that nothing was coming in from Nigerians in the Diaspora, whereas India and Jamaica were living on foreign exchange from their citizens abroad." "When I enquired why Western Union and MoneyGram could not receive money from Nigerians abroad, I was told that it was due to our tax laws."

CBN allays fears as foreign reserves dip…
This development according to Etubom Ani, necessitated the change in Nigeria's tax laws to accommodate those in the Diaspora; expectedly, with the enactment of new tax laws in 1996, Diaspora remittances have increased, exponentially.
However, the former Minister is categorical "that Diaspora remittances are not presently domiciled in Nigeria and therefore observed that there is collaboration between CBN, Nigerian banks and Western Union/MoneyGram to retain the dollars abroad"; consequently, Ani advised that government must investigate the infraction, punish money launderers, and recover all past Diaspora remittances retained abroad!"
However, in an unexpected somersault on its earlier favourable reports on Diaspora Remittances, Mr. Isaac Okoroafor, Corporate Communications CBN's Director, has surprisingly, queried the sources of data being referenced by critics; the details of Okoroafor's chat, with James Emejo of THISday were published on Sunday 13th October, 2019, with the title "CBN Clarifies Diaspora Remittances, Says Official Inflows Is $2.6bn, Not $26bn." According to Okoroafor, the 2018 data, purported to be from the World Bank, "had earlier, also, been queried by CBN's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC)", because they did not reflect the actual amount of inflows from abroad. Okoroafor therefore cynically reported that "we are looking for the so called $26 billion Diaspora cash, because such cash will impact positively on our reserves!" The CBN Director, according to the same report therefore chuckled at those bandying such figures and therefore advised that, an understanding of the methodology through which the data was sourced, could provide an insight into why critics' Diaspora figures might be off the target! Okoroafor, also claimed that, instances of such inaccurate statistics, further lent credence to the recent call by President Muhammadu Buhari, that homegrown data should predicate the policy recommendations of its latest Economic Advisory Council!
Indeed, President Buhari recently faulted the statistics on Nigeria produced by the IMF/World Bank, and described them as wild estimates, while Okoroafor, similarly, observed that "the IMF and the World Bank have also churned out data, suggesting structural weaknesses in Nigerian's economy and, therefore, advised government to activate urgent reforms.
Okoroafor also suggested that "the calculation of remittances by these foreign bodies, usually include data from inward official sources like Western Union, as well as money/cash being brought by Diaspora Nigerians, coming home for any social or family function; for example, he explained, that "my brother is in the USA, wants to send money home but has a friend in Lagos." "That friend in Lagos wants a shoe from Harrodsburg. The friend in London uses his credit to buy the shoe in Harrods', and (then) sends it to Lagos and tells the guy in Lagos to (then) give the naira equivalent to the Diaspora's relative in Lagos." The same (exchange) process is similarly adopted, according to Okoroafor for goods bought in Nigeria by Nigerians migrants in China.
In such event, the CBN Director explained that, "now, when the World Bank sums up the dollar value of all these various activities, they say we receive Diaspora remittances of $26 billion. I'm disappointed that enlightened people could now say remittance is $26 billion; this gives the impression as if CBN has it in its pocket." In practice, it is not unusual for the federal government and foreign bodies to differ on such data; for example, government and World Bank also differed recently, on the source and value of spending on Social safety nets, which the World Bank claims, is funded primarily from Development/Aid Partners.
The Minister for Finance/Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, also differed with the World Bank, on source for funding Nigeria's social investment programmes; the Minister explained that "Nigeria's intervention programmes, conversely, include pension, health and disability insurance programmes and several other programmes that other countries put together and highlight."
Ultimately, however, irrespective of the above differences, the CBN should defend its earlier celebrations of Nigeria's premium rating in the value of Diaspora remittances to Africa and also explain why Nigerian beneficiaries of even its reported modest $2.6bn were not paid in dollars by respective banks!!!
If the CBN is unable to respond, in plain language, to allegations of massive money laundering, by banks, with Nigeria's Diaspora remittances, then, it would be inevitable to conclude that CBN is possibly also involved in a massive cover-up. What a shame this will be, if it is so?

Was Cameron's Deep Dive as Useless as Manned Space Flight?
If excitement is the real product, Cameron should be hunting giant squid.
Christopher Mimsarchive page
Ninety-nine percent of what we know about the solar system came to us from unmanned probes. There can be no argument about comparative value of sending humans to other worlds, at least from a scientific perspective, because our relatively cheap, versatile, expendable robot spawn will win every time.
Does Enceladus harbor life? Maybe we'd know by now if we weren't so busy sending meat sacks into the harsh vacuum of space.
Indeed, had we spent the money we wasted on the shuttle program on unmanned probes, we would probably know already, for example, whether or not there is life in the watery oceans of Enceladus. Watching astronauts eat space food while weightless is great and all, but wouldn't you rather know whether or not we're alone in this universe?
It's worth asking whether the same logic applies to filmmaker James Cameron's just-completed dive to the deepest place on the planet – the Challenger Deep. During the expedition, the hydraulic pump on the submarine's sample gathering arm failed, which means Cameron failed to bring back anything of scientific value.
In addition, by Cameron's own account, he saw nothing while on the bottom of the Challenger Deep.
Plus, it's not as if the ship Cameron used even needed him on board. Before Cameron climbed aboard, it made the dive once before, sans pilot.
Al Dove and Craig McClain point out at Deep Sea News that remotely operated vehicles are already the tool of choice for exploring the deep ocean. Without the need to support a human occupant, these far cheaper, smaller, more reliable and more nimble probes can stay down longer and get more done. For the cost of Cameron's expedition, and entire fleet of ROVs could be deployed to the Challenger Deep.
ROV's certainly seem to be the tool of choice these days. Why is that? The answer is basically pragmatism. There are incredible challenges to sending people into the abyssal depths and beyond. The pressures can exceed a thousand atmospheres, which has been described as equivalent to inverting the Eifel Tower and resting its point on your big toe. That kind of pressure means that a titanium sphere is about the only object that can maintain a 1 atmosphere internal environment.
By contrast, no passenger means no need for air spaces at all, so ROV's can be built more cheaply and easily, and without the need for complex life support systems that can ensure the safety of the vehicles occupant(s). An ROV can allow for longer bottom times not constrained by tired pilots or scientists with small bladders. ROV's allow for a whole array of scientists to participate in the dive, all sitting in the same control center in the mother ship watching HD monitors.
Yet Dove and McClain are, ultimately, fans of Cameron's effort. Because even though automated probes and ROVs are the workhorses of our efforts to explore the final frontiers, nothing compares to the excitement of sending an actual human being.
The rise of the ROV is therefore rational, sensible, effective and … boring.
One does not have to have been to a hydrothermal vent in Alvin to appreciate [human occupied submersibles] anymore than one has to have been to the moon on Apollo 11 to appreciate Armstrong and Aldrin.
The ultimate value of Cameron's expedition is in the excitement it generates around the valuable deep sea scientific exploration already being conducted.
To that end, here's my suggestion for Cameron and his sponsors: Drop the pretense of science. Bring to your deep sea dives the same sense of excitement – of narrative – that we find in Cameron's movies.
From the only set of images of the giant squid ever captured in the wild, by T. Kubodera and K. Mori
In other words, instead of descending to the deepest part of the ocean only to snap pictures of a lunar wasteland, Cameron should build a new submersible. And this one should be designed with one aim in mind: Following in the footsteps of Captain Nemo, it should be used to hunt for the monsters of the deep which we already know are present, but principally, the grandfather of all our nautical nightmares, the giant squid.
The real product of the Deep Sea Challenge is excitement – don't sell us short.

In addition to providing basic cleaning services and exams, education is a staple of our practice. Using X-rays and other images, we show you what we're seeing, learn about your goals and create a plan together on how to achieve those goals. If you come to us with any discomfort, we will take the time to explain the source and then discuss how to find a solution.
When you do need a cavity filled, part of our process is making sure that you are comfortable and informed. The patient should always feel in control of appointments, so you will always know what to expect in terms of procedural steps and time. We learn about your personal sensitivities and anxieties, then take the appropriate steps to alleviate those whenever possible.
A crown or bridge may be necessary to strengthen teeth or bridge gaps, which often improves both health and appearance. Because you should always be in control of any decisions regarding your health, we will discuss every option available to find the best solution for you aesthetically, functionally and financially.
Implants provide patients with a fixed solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are strong, durable, stable, and provide patients an alternative to removable dentures. While this procedure may initially seem unsettling, your visit to our office prior to the procedure will make you prepared, informed and comfortable.
Because tooth removal can be more problematic for the function of a healthy mouth, we will always try to save the tooth with endodontic treatment if possible. This therapy removes bacteria and decay using medicated dental materials and restores the tooth to its full function. We recognize the amount of trust you are placing in us when we perform any type of procedure, and your comfort is always at the forefront of our practice. We take as much time as you need to explain the procedure as well as pre- and post-procedure care.
While we typically try to avoid extractions, we will work with you to find the best solution rather than mandating a procedure. In the event that an extraction is necessary, post-care is just as critical as the procedure itself. We will make sure you know the best practices for avoiding infection and minimizing discomfort. Communication between you and our office doesn't stop simply because a procedure is complete. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask us immediately.
We want to see a satisfied smile as much as you want to perfect yours. When we design your partial or complete dentures, we do our best to make them accurate, comfortable and attractive. We understand that partials and dentures can be a difficult transition, so we use your feedback to make the process as smooth as possible.

Q: Restrict given Jenkins jobs from being manually aborted The use case I am trying to solve is preventing developers from cancelling/stopping running build/s in Jenkins. The need for this is provoked by that these jobs run Terraform scripts which execute plan and apply steps, locking terraform state in our backends. If a job is aborted there are some race conditions which prevent the unlocking of the tf-state which causes numerous issues further on.
The ideal solution will be even after the user cancels the running Jenkins job the shell terraform script to continue running(in background) until completion.
Alternative solution can be having an option/plugin using which we can restrict the manual interventions on specified jobs. Meaning that the Jenkins administrator can specify which jobs cannot be cancelled manually by regular users.
Has anyone faced this problem before? And what approach have you taken to solve it? Any ideas will be appreciated.

A: Updated
You can use role-based strategy plugin, and create different roles as per your requirements and user group(active directory groups) , assign the roles to relevant group and you should be good.
I believe the plugin documentation is old, I can see job cancel option in my Jenkins box, please see below screenshot

There are many steps to take to protect yourself in a divorce. This article will get you started. Your best bet is to talk to a lawyer before you do anything.
1. Talk to a Marriage Counselor or other professional who may be able to help you save your marriage.
Even if you don't think there's hope for the marriage, "divorce counseling" can help you discover what went wrong, how to cope, and how to pick up the pieces and go on. Don't wait for your spouse to participate. If you don't know how to find a qualified counselor, our firm will be glad to recommend one or you can check out the directory of professionals at stayhappilymarried.com. Your employment, social or religious contacts might also provide leads.
Even if you don't end up hiring an attorney to handle your separation or divorce, you would be well advised to get as much information as you can before you even discuss divorce with your spouse. There's a lot to know about divorce in North Carolina?our laws are complex and even the simplest situation can be very confusing to families already in distress. Actions you take now may very well affect the outcome of your divorce (see #3) and you need to understand your options ahead of time?not some time down the road when it may be too late to alter the outcome. Click here to find attorneys who are well versed in the intricacies of North Carolina divorce law.
In this case, honesty may not be the best policy. In addition to the fact that adultery is illegal in some states, admission of an affair can have other dire consequences. If your spouse is a candidate for alimony, any illicit sexual behavior on your part (during the marriage?which includes the time you are separated) could end up costing you thousands in additional alimony payments.
Other protective measures you might consider in your divorce planning include: (1) protecting your own credit rating by freezing or closing joint cards and by blocking your spouse's access to other joint credit such as a home equity loan; (2) closing joint bank accounts and opening accounts in your own, individual name; (3) changing the name of the responsible party on utility and other bills; and (4) spending where possible your spouse's separate property first, marital property next, and your own separate property last.

Q: Permission denied (publickey). when disabling PasswordAuthentication I have 2 machines:

*

*Windows machine with WSL installed, that serves as a client.

*Ubuntu machine, with a test-user user, that serves as a server.

Both computer are on the same network.

On the Ubuntu computer, what I did:

*

*I used ssh-keygen to generate two keys, I copied the id_rsa file to the WSL.

*Make sure the ssh service is up, with systemctl status ssh.

On the WSL, what I did:

*

*Copied the id_rsa file as key.

*Changed the permission of the key file with chmod 600 key.

*Connect to the server machine :

ssh -i key test-user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

This works well, but it also ask me the password of the user.

hamuto@DESKTOP-HLSFHPR:~$ ssh  -i key test-user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
test-user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX's password:

The problem with this thing is, that with Github Actions, I can't enter the password.

So I changed the file  /etc/ssh/sshd_config in the server:
# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
PasswordAuthentication no <-- I've changed that to no, and uncomment the line
#PermitEmptyPasswords no

When I retry to connect with ssh:

hamuto@DESKTOP-HLSFHPR:~$ ssh  -i key test-user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
test-user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX: Permission denied (publickey).

Why is that?

A: After days of research, I found the solution:

*

*First thing first, I needed to understand that you only need one pair of key, generated on the Ubuntu server.

*In the server, you have to copy the id_rsa.pub in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

*Set the permission correctly:

chown -R username:username /home/username/.ssh
chmod 700 /home/username/.ssh
chmod 600 /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys

*

*Change the value of PubkeyAuthentication in the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config to yes and uncomment it.

*Copy the private id_rsa key, to the client. Set the permission to 600.

You can connect to the server:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa test-user@XXX.XXX.XX.XX

Now it works.

Sandys, Francis
Sandys, Francis (fl. 1788–1814). Irish-born architect. He was in the service of Frederick Augustus Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry (1730–1803), at whose expense he travelled in Italy (1791–6). He built the Earl-Bishop's Palace at Ickworth, Suffolk, in 1796, consisting of a Pantheon-domed elliptical rotunda connected to wings by quadrants, and apparently based on a design by Mario Asprucci (1764–1804). Ickworth had a predecessor in the Earl-Bishop's great house at Ballyscullion, Co. Londonderry (begun 1787, and designed, probably, by Shanahan, Sandys, and Sandys and his brother Joseph), and possibly James Wyatt), influenced by Plaw's Belle Isle, Windermere (1774–5). The portico of Ballyscullion now forms the front of St George's Parish Church, High Street, Belfast. Ickworth was a more Neo-Classical version of Ballyscullion.
Sandys remained in Suffolk, in Bury St Edmunds, where he built up his practice, designing Finborough Hall, Suffolk (1795), the entrance-lodges at Chippenham Park, Cambs. (c.1800), the Assembly Rooms (now Athenaeum), Bury St Edmunds (1804), the County Gaol, Worcester (1809–13—demolished), Dorchester Bridge, Oxon. (1813–15), and the County Courts and Gaol, Durham (begun 1809 and completed by George Moneypenny and Ignatius Bonomi in 1811 after Sandys was dismissed following his loss of a legal action by the Durham Magistrates). This event seems to have ended his career by 1814.

The Race Is on in Japan to Build a Space Elevator Through Open Innovation
Newsletter icon-search
In Japan, concepts for space elevators are being developed, and the finish line to the final frontier is within reach.
by Yasuo Matsunaka
Manufacturing - Dec 14 2021 - 5 min read

A space elevator is an electric vehicle that drives up and down a tether between the ground and a satellite in orbit.
Space elevators could be an alternative to rockets that consume massive amounts of fuel and allow for more people to experience space at a lower cost.
The highest honors from the 2018 European Space Elevator Challenge went to two college students from Japan for their climber's design.
Since the Apollo moon missions of the '60s, only a few more than 500 astronauts have reached the hallowed height of 100 kilometers (62 miles) into space. But with the advent of commercial space tourism by Virgin Galactic, many more people—and nonastronauts—will be able to experience Earth from above. Blue Origin, an aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight-services company started by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, is already selling tickets for space trips.
An expensive ticket will buy the view from space, but even then, the experience of zero gravity lasts only a few minutes. Will the time come when everybody gets to experience weightlessness for long hours and with no training? In Japan, researchers are working on a "space elevator" to make this happen in a way that minimizes cost and environmental impact, unlike traditional rockets that consume massive amounts of fuel.
What Is a Space Elevator?
The space elevator is an electric vehicle called a "climber" that drives up and down one thin tether between the ground and a satellite in stationary orbit, using another outside tether for balancing with centrifugal force. The total length of the tether extends to 100,000 kilometers (62,137 miles).
Before 1991, a material strong enough for the tether's construction didn't exist outside of science fiction—until physicist Dr. Sumio Iijima discovered the mechanism of the carbon nanotube, a material light enough and with the theoretical strength to realize the tether. In 2012, Obayashi Corporation announced its Space Elevator Construction Plan, connecting earth and space by 2050.
Test Case: Developing a Precision Raptor
To inspire young scientists and promote the space-elevator concept, a competition called EUSPEC (European Space Elevator Challenge) took place at the Technical University of Munich in Germany in 2011, 2012, 2016, and 2018. Team Raptor, a team from Nihon University that has participated in all four competitions, consists of Kaishu Koike and Naoki Arakawa. They're both fourth-year university students and members of the Aoki Laboratory, led by Yoshio Aoki—a professor in Nihon's Department of Precision Machinery Engineering, College of Science and Technology.

The team has been working on strength calculations, durability, and the safety of building mechanical structures, as well as proactively promoting space-elevator research. In the 2018 challenge, Team Raptor achieved overall victory in the Advanced Class and received category awards in Safety, Construction Quality, and Innovation. Each team developed a climber evaluated for speed, efficiency, and accuracy.
To build the climber, the team modeled parts using CAD software and then assembled them, adjusting as they went. "We created a frame around the drive motor, positioned the motor while considering transmission method, and modeled and inserted a spur wheel and bevel gear," Koike says. "We adopted the method of deciding on the shape by first assembling the big parts and gradually moving on to the fine parts."
The key to maintaining speed with the maximum eight payloads of 1.1 kilograms (2.42 pounds) each was to keep the weight of the space elevator itself as light as possible, using 3-axis CNC for the machining. "By using the honeycomb approach, the main frame was hollowed out as much as possible, and we lightened the weight about 60% while also maintaining sufficient rigidity and good appearance," Koike says.

Raptor's 3D-printed endcaps were inspired by the radome (radar enclosure) of an airplane.
There were four metrics for this competition: number of payloads, speed, accurately ascending to a predetermined height (as well as descending safely), and using as little energy as possible. "The airframes were only halfway complete, and coming up with a design that would satisfy all the above points was quite difficult," Aoki says.
The team "designed the Raptor at a pretty fast pace while conducting simulations at the same time," Aoki says. It achieved the maximum speed of 110 kilometers (68 miles) per hour, and even when the maximum weight was used, the Raptor maintained speed and an effective braking mechanism. "Above all, I think accomplishing the difficult task of stopping at exactly 100 meters [328 feet] with the control technology was really something," he says.
When Team Raptor conducted its operation test, the speed-reduction ratio wasn't enough with the first design, and it wouldn't be possible to elevate eight payloads. The team made changes just before the competition, retrimming the frame and remaking the gear. The design and CAM were combined with Autodesk Fusion 360; when shape changes were made on the model, the team quickly trimmed a new part, saving time.

The Science Council of Japan is proposing a "hybrid space elevator" approach, which means simultaneously developing a concept that would be built from the ground and one to be constructed in space. The Department of Precision Machinery Engineering is going forward with the development of the space lift on the ground and also aiding the research for a space-elevator construction in outer space.
Additionally, a joint-development project between Shizuoka University and Obayashi Corporation called STARS-Me (Space Tethered Autonomous Robotics Satellite-Mini elevator) involves moving a small climber on a tether that links two CubeSats (small satellites). The Aoki Laboratory is taking on the tether-deployment mechanism and climber design development.

Because this is uncharted territory, there are issues besides the technology surrounding the space elevator that need to be resolved prior to launch—which could happen in the not-too-distant future.
"We still don't have any measures to sufficiently address legal and safety issues of how we should deal with threats such as terrorism," Aoki says. "Dealing with such difficult aspects will be required moving forward. But if we are able to get past such issues, and if more corporations support us, I believe that an operating cargo transport space elevator is entirely possible in the 2030s."

TV news ready to shift gears after impeachment saga ends
by: DAVID BAUDER, Associated Press
Posted: Feb 5, 2020 / 05:59 PM CST / Updated: Feb 5, 2020 / 05:59 PM CST

Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., left, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., leaves the Senate chamber after presiding over the impeachment trial and today's acquittal of President Donald Trump, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2020. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
NEW YORK (AP) — The Senate's vote to acquit President Donald Trump not only ended the impeachment saga Wednesday, it shut off the source of hours of programming for television news networks.
The vote, shown live on ABC, CBS, NBC and the cable news networks, came after one final twist in the announcement of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney's decision to convict Trump, making him the only senator to stray from party-line voting.
"Today — the final act," NBC's Lester Holt said to open his network's coverage.
"Today — no more mysteries," said ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
News anchors sat by silently to let the roll calls on two articles of impeachment play out. The Senate's decision to restrict the number of cameras to show its proceedings proved a real hindrance when it came time to vote, however. Viewers had only an overhead shot of the Senate floor and could not see individual senators proclaim "guilty" or "not guilty." Instead, they heard disembodied voices.
Cable news viewers were able to see Romney less than two hours earlier as he took to the Senate floor to announce he would vote to convict Trump on abuse of power, but acquit him on obstruction of justice.
"Wow," said a visibly moved Brooke Baldwin on CNN when he was done. "That was pure honesty and emotion from Mitt Romney."
"That was a true profile in courage speech that we just saw," echoed analyst John Avlon.
Fox News Channel moved immediately to a sharp interview Chris Wallace had conducted with Romney earlier in the day, in which the senator sought to explain his thinking to a television audience likely stocked with Republicans who would be upset with him.
Both Romney and Wallace understood the stakes, with the news anchor asking whether it could mean the end of his political career. Romney said it couldn't get much worse for him, politically speaking, than losing the presidential election to Barack Obama in 2012.
"It's going to get pretty lonely in this town for you," Wallace said.
Romney did succeed in changing the emphasis of news coverage for what was largely a preordained event; broadcast networks spoke immediately about his decision upon opening coverage of the Senate vote.
There appeared to be some tension on CBS' set after newly hired analyst Reince Prebius, Trump's former chief of staff, declared impeachment a "fiasco" that was flawed from the beginning because there were no alleged crimes in the articles of impeachment.
CBS analyst John Dickerson moved to correct his new colleague.
"We don't want to leave people with the misimpression that you have to commit a crime to be impeached," Dickerson said. "The vast majority of legal scholars" say a president can be impeached for acts that are not specifically crimes, he said.
Minutes after the acquittal, commentators on Fox News' "The Five" were on the attack against Democrats.
"This was a big, fat waste of time," said Fox's Greg Gutfeld. "The only winner in this whole thing — us. The network is pulling in millions of eyeballs. God knows what the ad money is. My second home is buying a third home."
In fact, Fox appeared to benefit from the impeachment more than its rivals. Its viewership during daytime hours for the months of November, December and January was up 19% compared with the same three months a year earlier, the Nielsen company said. Rivals CNN and MSNBC saw a decrease in viewers, perhaps due to a lack of suspense in the eventual outcome.
The same pattern held true in prime time, where Fox News saw a 28% increase year to year, Nielsen said.
CNN aired the most of the Senate's impeachment trial live, showing 63 hours, or 95% of the trial time through Monday, according to the watchdog group Media Matters for America. MSNBC aired 61 hours live, or 94% of the trial, the group said.
Fox News aired 38 hours of the Senate trial live, or 57% of it. That's because Fox generally didn't air the trial when it was on in the evening, preferring instead to let its prime-time opinion hosts give their take on what was happening.
For the most part, major broadcast networks showed the trial during the day but didn't pre-empt prime time programming at night.
Now, without impeachment as a topic for discussions, the news networks will have to move on. But the election offers a seamless transition; CNN had set aside prime-time hours Thursday for town hall meetings with Democrats in New Hampshire.

Nevin was taken No. 1 overall in 1992 by the Houston Astros, and admittedly he didn't handle it well.
There aren't many men on the planet who know what Casey Mize is going through.
Phil Nevin is one of them, and he's got some words of wisdom for the kid.
"Just keep baseball fun," Nevin, now the third-base coach for the New York Yankees, told The News late Monday night, as the Yankees were preparing to board a plane from Detroit to Toronto.
"Obviously, get your work in, but just keep it fun. He'll work his tail off for sure — he had to, to get where he's at — but, also, listen. Keep your ears open and listen to all the great people around him."
Nevin is now 47, and 12 years removed from his last major-league game, and 26 years removed from 1992, when the Houston Astros made him the No. overall 1 pick in the 1992 Major League Baseball Draft. On Monday, the Tigers made Mize, 21, the Auburn ace, the No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft.
Detroit's game-day stadium crew showed the announcement on the videoboard at Comerica Park on Monday night, when the Tigers and Nevin's Yankees were playing Game 2 of a doubleheader.
Nevin, by the time he talked to The News after Monday night's game, had seen Mize interviewed, and came away impressed — and certain Mize will handle things better than he did.
"I think the pressure's gonna still be the same," Nevin said.
Nevin, a big, right-handed slugger, actually was drafted in the third round out of high school by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but chose not to sign.
Instead, he attended Cal State-Fullerton, and three years later, he was the Astros' top pick.
Nevin, a 21-year-old firecracker back then, thought he should head right to The Show.
Instead, the Astros sent him to Triple A in 1993 — still a lofty starting spot, at least by today's standards. He stayed there all of 1994, too, playing a total of 241 games at Triple from 1993-94. He wasn't happy.
"There were some conflicts," Nevin said. "It was immaturity on my part.
"I didn't use the learning process of the minor leagues to get better. I didn't use the resources around me, the good people I had around me. Eventually in my career, it hit home and I was able to apply those things, but (at first) I thought I had it all figured out, I didn't need any guidance."
Finally, Nevin got to the major leagues in 1995, but by that time, relationships between him and Astros brass were severely strained, and when the Tigers came calling on that player-to-be-named from an Aug. 10 trade of former All-Star closer Mike Henneman, the parties settled on Nevin.
In June 1992, he was the No. 1 overall pick. He played 18 games for the Astros before he was traded.
Nevin played parts of three mostly unremarkable seasons with the Tigers, from 1995-97, before Detroit gave up and sent him to the Angels, along with catcher Matt Walbeck, for someone named Nick Skuse.
It took until 1999 with the Padres, already his fourth team, before Nevin became a legit standout. Over the next eight years, he averaged 22 homers, 81 RBIs and an .842 OPS.
"My best advice, don't put a timetable on it like I did," said Nevin, who later in his baseball career managed the Tigers' Triple-A affiliate in Toledo (2011-13) and had on his staff A.J. Sager, who now is a roving pitching coordinator who will work closely with Mize. "I didn't expect to be where I was at, and I didn't handle it well. It wasn't where I wanted to be, the timetable I set for himself."
Mize, by most accounts, could pitch in the major leagues right now and be just fine, after a three-year, decorated at Auburn that's still going, after this weeknd's regional win.
Scott Pleis, Tigers director amateur scouting, says he has MLB-stuff "right now."
After Monday night's 4-2 victory over Nevin's Yankees, Tigers star Miguel Cabrera joked Mize should pitch in the majors this year, like, you'll remember, Andrew Miller did late in 2006, after the Tigers drafted the lanky left-hander out of North Carolina earlier that summer.
Asked about that off-the-cuff comment, Mize delivered a measured and mature answer — and answer that would've had Nevin nodding his head.
"I would say," said Mize, "I would like to get there as efficiently as possible, not as quickly as possible."
Things are different in the draft today than they were way back when.
Nevin was holed up in an Omaha, Neb., motel room, as his Fullerton team was in town playing in the College World Series. ESPN wanted a staged shot of the "phone call," on the hotel rotary phone. It was a call that Nevin got over other standout amateurs like Jeffrey Hammonds (No. 4 to the Baltimore Orioles), and Derek Jeter (No. 6, to the Yankees).
The MLB Draft wasn't broadcast live like it is these days, like Monday, when Mize's emotions were front and center, for all to see, in real-time on MLB Network.
There's also the money issue. Nevin got $900,000 in 1992, a nice chunk, but a pittance by today's standards. Mize will fetch more than $6 million and maybe as much as $8 million. Even Nevin's own son, Tyler, received way more than he did — $2 million — "and he was a sandwich pick," Phil Nevin said, laughing. Tyler Nevin was the 38th overall pick by the Colorado Rockies in 2015.
Nevin had some advice for Mize on that front, too.
"It's life-changing money for this kid, obviously," Nevin said. "Just surround yourself with good people. Watching the interview today, and listening to him, I'm sure he does.
"Keep those people close, and he'll get the right direction.

Apple claims that the PCI-e SSD in the new MacBook Pro is more than twice as fast as the 2015 model, and early benchmarking of the 13-inch MacBook pro with Function Keys bear out the claim that the new portable family from Apple is the SSD speed champion.
Apple notes that the drive in either the 13- or 15-inch model of the MacBook Pro has sequential read speeds of 3.1 gigabytes per second. Write speeds are said to be 2.2 gigabytes per second on the 15-inch version, and 2.1 gigabytes per second on the 13-inch model. An OWC teardown and benchmarking session confirmed Apple's drive speed claims in the 13-inch model.
The early 2015 MacBook Pro that the new model replaced posted read speeds of 1.5 gigabytes per second, and 1.3 gigabytes per second writing to the drive.
From a practical standpoint, copying a batch of mixed files has been noted as being significantly faster than its predecessor and versus other laptops in its class, with the 13-inch MacBook Pro with function keys pulling down 508.9 megabytes per second during the transfer, and the October-released Dell XPS 13 managing 339.3 megabytes per second.
The fast SSD speeds will somewhat mitigate speed issues brought about for some users because of the RAM being limited to 16GB due to architectural limitations. Virtual memory page-outs will be relatively faster on the new SSD as compared to previous ones, further cutting back the performance hit induced by the transfer contents from very fast physical RAM to virtual space allocated on storage media.
