This quest will appear in your journal as soon as Xoti joins your team.
1. Assist Xoti's efforts to shepherd lost souls throughout the Deadfire.
As a priestess of Gaun, it's Xoti's god-given duty to harvest the souls of the dead by shepherding them into the light of her lantern.
I've decided to help Xoti fulfill her duty as we pursue Eothas.
Xoti harvested a soul at the Engwithan Digsite near Port Maje.
Xoti harvested a soul in Motare o Kōzi.
Xoti harvested a group of souls on an uncharted island.
Xoti harvested a soul at Ashen Maw.
Xoti harvested a soul in the Gullet's black market in Neketaka.
Xoti harvested a soul under Arkemyr's Manor in Neketaka.
Xoti harvested a soul at Vilario's Rest near Port Maje.
Xoti harvested a soul on Gorecci Street near Port Maje.
After I severed Eothas' tether to the adra pillar, thus restoring its light, Xoti was able to harvest some lost souls at the Engwithian Digsite near Port Maje.
Xoti harvested a group of souls at a campsite on the island of Neketaka.
Xoti was unable to harvest any souls from the ashen bodies at the Engwithan Digsite near Port Maje.
Xoti harvested a soul in the Old City in Neketaka.
2. Speak with Xoti regarding her prophetic nightmares.
When I met Xoti, she told me about her prophetic dreams. I've noticed that with every soul Xoti harvests, she behaves a little more erratically. And now her dreams are getting worse. Her changing lucidity could become a cause for concern.
I should check on her to see how she is doing.
Xoti's divine mission, coupled with the numerous souls she holds in her lantern, weigh heavily on her mind.
I encouraged Xoti to seek the light of Gaun's lantern - of rebirth after death.
I encouraged Xoti to embrace the darkness of Gaun's sickle - of death before rebirth.
3. Perform a spiritual cleansing in the Temple of Gaun.
Xoti struggles with the increasing burden of the many souls she's harvested for her god. She'd like to try a cleansing ritual before the carved statue in the Temple of Gaun. She's hopeful it may lighten her darkening mental state.
I encouraged Xoti to seek the light of Gaun's lantern - of spring following a fall.
I encouraged Xoti to embrace the darkness of Gaun's sickle - of the fall before spring.
4. Travel with Xoti post cleansing.
Xoti is unsure if the cleansing can alleviate her nightmares longterm, but she seemed to feel a little better after the ritual. In the meantime, she'd like to continue her mission by gathering more souls.
5. Speak with Xoti about her worsening nightmares.
Xoti's apocalyptic nightmares and waking visions have been increasing in both frequency and intensity. I should speak with her to assess the current state of her condition next time we rest.
Xoti confessed to me that she was never intended only to reap the souls of the dead. Her duty is to shepherd the lost souls to a successful rebirth - but so far she has only fulfilled the first part of her mission.
6. Take Xoti to a luminous adra pillar.
If I were to locate a luminous adra pillar, Xoti could release souls she has gathered into her lantern, delivering them for rebirth as handled by the gods in Hel.
I saw a luminous adra pillar in the cliffside temple.
I saw a luminous adra pillar on Port Maje, buried under the arena.
I saw a luminous adra pillar at the top of the Hylean temple in Neketaka, where the animancers are.
I saw a luminous adra pillar within the lighthouse at Hasongo.
I saw a luminous adra pillar in the Hanging Sepulchers under the Temple of Berath in Neketaka.
I encouraged Xoti to hold onto the souls she's gathered. They may make her unstable, but they also spark a frightening power within her. Despite this, she wishes to investigate a means for to releasing the souls.
I restored the luminous adra pillar at Poko Kohara.
7. Take Xoti to the animancers in Neketaka.
I've convinced Xoti to work with the animancers atop the Spire of the Soul-Seers in Neketaka in order to aid their research in creating an artifical rebirthing process. It is our best means for surviving once Eothas breaks the Wheel.
I will introduce Xoti to Flaune Elette, the lead researcher at the Spire of the Soul-Seers.

The Jordanaires were an American vocal quartet that formed as a gospel group in 1948. Over the years, they recorded both sacred and secular music for recording companies such as Capitol Records, RCA Victor, Columbia Records, Decca Records, Vocalion Records, Stop Records, and many other smaller independent labels.

In the mid-1950s, they also began lending their vocal talents to other artists as background singers in recording sessions.  They are widely known for having provided background vocals for Elvis Presley, in live appearances, recordings, and feature films from 1956 to 1972. The group worked in the recording studio, on stage, and on television with many country, gospel, and rock and roll artists.

They also provided background vocals using the name the Merry Melody Singers and the Almanac Singers, sometimes using different personnel.

Group history

Early years

In 1948, Monty and Bill Matthews left. Hawkins switched to baritone, and new lead Neal Matthews was recruited. Don Bruce came in as a new first tenor, but he was drafted the next year. The group narrowed to a quartet, with Gordon Stoker taking over as first tenor. They became members of the Grand Ole Opry in 1949. They recorded for Capitol Records in the early 1950s, and began providing vocal accompaniment behind solo singers in Nashville, Tennessee.

The quartet became well known in the Southern gospel genre, and what made them stand out from other quartets of that time was how they would bring spirituals (such as "Dry Bones") to a predominantly white audience. While continuing to turn out gospel albums of their own, the group became better known for the signature background harmonies they have provided on dozens of secular records.

Patsy Cline
The group appeared on all of Patsy Cline's Decca sessions from her first in November 1960 to her last in February 1963, during which time they backed her on songs such as:

"A Poor Man's Roses (Or a Rich Man's Gold)"
"Always"
"Blue Moon of Kentucky"
"Crazy"
"Crazy Arms"
"Faded Love"
"Foolin' Around"
"Half as Much"
"Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue)?"
"Heartaches"
"I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)"
"I Fall to Pieces"
"Leavin' on Your Mind"
"Love Letters in the Sand"
"San Antonio Rose"
"Seven Lonely Days"
"She's Got You"
"Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)"
"South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)"
"Sweet Dreams"
"That's My Desire"
"The Wayward Wind"
"True Love"
"Walkin' After Midnight" (1961 recording)
"You Belong to Me"
"You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)"
"Your Cheatin' Heart"

After Elvis and Cline

The group changed again in 1982, when Hoyt Hawkins died. His replacement was Duane West, formerly of Sonny James' backup group, the Southern Gentlemen. In 1990, the group provided backing vocals for Presley's former Sun Records labelmate Johnny Cash on his Mercury Records album Boom Chicka Boom. The group has also recorded with the Swedish group Vikingarna.

Deaths

Hugh Jarrett died at 78 on May 31, 2008, from injuries sustained in an auto accident in March.

Gordon Stoker died at 88 at his Brentwood, Tennessee, home on March 27, 2013, after a long illness. His son Alan confirmed that The Jordanaires were formally dissolved, per his father's wishes.

Everyone will tell you that there are three major types of learning styles: Visual Learners, Auditory Learners, and Tactile/Kinesthetic (hands on) Learners. In my experience as a student and a tutor, most people have a main learning style but actually learn best through a combination of all three. My goal when tutoring is to figure out what each students main learning style is, so I can present the information in a way that they will be academically successful. I use a mixture of Audio, Visual and Hands-On methods. People also retain information best when they teach it to someone else, so I have my students explain to me what was covered.
I have earned a bachelor degree in Business Administration emphasis in Accounting and a minor in Business Law from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. While earning my degree I tutored at the Learning Resource Center - ASI Peer Tutoring Program. From October 2005 - June 2007, I tutored college peers in Accounting, Finance, Statistics, Computer Information Systems, and Technology & Operations Management. After Graduation I continued to tutor as a private tutor, since I had to be a student to tutor at the Learning Resource Center.

Q: How to find PID's user name in linux Can you help me to find the PID's user name, Some time my server got high load. When i top -c, I cannot even find the PID's user name who / which is causing load on the server.

A: /proc/processID/status will have the information about user's ID which you can use to find the username.
This does the same:
uid=$(awk '/^Uid:/{print $2}' /proc/YOUR_PROCESS_ID/status)
getent passwd "$uid" | awk -F: '{print $1}'

Replace YOUR_PROCESS_ID with your process ID number.

A: Get only username from a PID:
PID=136323
USERNAME="$( ps -o uname= -p "${PID}" )"

You can also combine it with a pgrep. In this example we show all usernames executing some .php file:
pgrep -f '\.php' | xargs -r ps -o uname= -p | sort -u

Find only one username running a certain unique process:
USERNAME="$( pgrep -nf 'script\.php' | xargs -r ps -o uname= -p )

A: I'm surprised nobody has put this up yet:
Try the -p option to the ps command.
For instance, if you have PID 1234, run:
ps -u -p 1234

(The -u was added to include the username in the output)
You can the use grep or awk, etc. to extract the info you want.

A: I think the shortest way is:
id -nu </proc/<pid>/loginuid

The /proc/<pid>/loginuid file has the uid number of the user running the process; id -nu reads uid from stdin and returns a user name.

A: What do you want exactly? On my system, if I run 'top -c' I get:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S   %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  2873 matt      20   0 3022m 1.6g 1.6g S     22 21.6   2245:42 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox --comment ESX5-1 --startvm 4fd78ee9-739a-4d53-a0ce-4f9819ab9411 --no-startvm-errormsgbox
  29764matt      20   0 2779m 1.4g 1.3g S      5 18.4 210:33.51 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox --comment win2008-2 --startvm 202ec2b7-ae12-40e9-af76-2be429e553d7 --no-startvm-errormsgbox

So the PID (processus/task identifier) is the first column, and the user account the processus runs under is the second column

A: You can use the following command.
use ps aux| grep "pid"

Also,
ls -ld /proc/"pid"/exe

Q: Why did Bu-Yeon's appearance change? When Herb Master Lee heals Bu-Yeon for Lady Jin, he says that Naksu's soul will cause Bu-Yeon's appearance to change to match that of Naksu, since Bu-Yeon's soul is no longer present.
However, normal soul shifters already displace the soul upon shifting, and do not alter the appearance of the bodies that they take over. Moreover, Lee was even lying about Bu-Yeon's soul having disappeared in the first place, so his stated reasoning cannot apply.
As such, why did the appearance of Bu-Yeon/Naksu change after Herb Master Lee healed her?

Valley of the Water of Ruchill which flows northeast and then north to join the River Earn near Comrie. A narrow valley of central Perthshire, the Glen stretches over 8 miles (13km) northeastwards from Glenartney Lodge to Cultybraggan. For all of its length it follows the course of the Water of Ruchill which joins the River Earn at Comrie. The Forest of the Glen, which lies between the Glen and Loch Earn, was once part of the royal deer forest of Strathearn supplying venison to the sovereigns of Scotland.
Most walkers park their cars at Glen Artney Church car park near the end of the minor road that runs through the glen, south west from the village of Comrie. It still is used for special occasions like weddings. Walk westwards on the road for approximately 2km before crossing a stile to reach Auchinner and the start of a rough track that leads east, across open moorland and then through pleasant mixed woods, to reach The Ross, a picturesque residential area on the outskirts of Comrie. Return by the same route. Walkers should note that there are no refreshments available in The Ross, a picnic is advised.
In the Glen's forests, south of Comrie, Mary Queen of Scots often hunted with Darnley around the time of 1565. This area above Comrie is still beautiful today and there is a wildlife park at Auchingarrich. Just upstream from Comrie is the Drummond Trout Farm ( which has unfortinately closed until further notice).
An alternative walk, in wilder more open countryside, can be enjoyed by following the Right of Way across the moorland to the popular holiday town of Callander.
This higher level route also starts near Auchinner (well signposted for Callander) and gives superb views of the lesser known sides of Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin, dramatic mountains on the shores of Loch Earn. Follow the path to Callander town centre, where refreshments and shops are available, before retracing your steps to the Glen.
You can reach the Glen by taking the minor road that leads off the B827, 3km south of Comrie passed Cultybraggan. The start point for both walks is the car park near the end of the metalled road at Glen Artney Church.


Linda Janes, a woman once described in the Town Crier as a "prominent downtown Los Altos merchant," and her daughters are spending this week celebrating 35 years in the cookware sales business. They invite local residents to come "toast and party" at their shop, Cooks Junction, noon to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Cooks Junction, located at 261 Main St., stocks approximately 5,000 kitchen items, ranging from classic silver pots and pans from Cuisinart to colorful fruit palm peelers from Chef'n. The store still sells the same food processor (albeit a different model) listed in its grand opening ad from 1984. Although Cooks Junction closed for two months in 2001 to undergo renovation, Janes' business has survived multiple rounds of retail rotation in downtown Los Altos. She was not totally left unshaken, however, as she had to close her fine-china store, Janus, in 2009.
The experience of shopping at Cooks Junction, even in the wake of the online shopping boom, has kept the store afloat.
Katya, now Janes' assistant store manager, reached out to the Town Crier as a way to honor the woman who adopted her and older sister, Ilona, from Russia at ages 4 and 5.
After 10 years of considering adoption, Janes welcomed Katya and Ilona into her heart and home. Janes herself had once sought refuge – she was born in Yugoslavia and forced to flee the country with her mother, Emma Janes, brother and sister and settle in Austria during World War II. Janes' father died during the war, giving her personal experience in growing up in a single-parent home. Janes went through Rainbow House, an overseas adoption agency, which sent her a video of the girls in 1996.
"The minute I saw that video, I knew they were my girls," Janes said.
After studying criminal justice, changing her path and returning to school to study business, Katya now knows at age 26 that she shares her mother's vision. She plans to take over the business from Janes, who is already semi-retired, and at some point in the future, adopt a child or two herself.
It's a learning process. Katya continues to absorb her mother's business processes and philosophy. Beyond that, the mother-daughter pair are indebted to their loyal customers, who have visited Cooks Junction once or twice a week for years.
Cooks Junction is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m weekdays and 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays. For more information visit cooks-junction.com.

By David E. Hoffman

After all the memoirs and diaries are published, after the myths are created and exploded, there is something quite bracing about the transcripts and official minutes of once-secret White House meetings. People often have imperfect memories of what was said at a meeting, which makes it all the more important and interesting to read the official record of a dialogue as it actually unfolded.
A fresh cache of declassified and original materials on President Reagan and the Cold War is coming to light with the publication of The Reagan Files: The Untold Story of Reagan's Top-Secret Efforts to Win the Cold War, edited by Jason Saltoun-Ebin. The documents contained in the volume are raw, genuine and illuminating.
Here's a gem: a White House meeting Sept. 8, 1987, Reagan and his cabinet members were debating negotiations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan confides, cheerfully:
I have a friend who tells me that in the Soviet Union their right-wingers are starting to call Gorbachev 'Mr. Yes' because he agrees with everything that I propose."
The documents are the official minutes of National Security Council and National Security Planning Group meetings, where policy battles often played out. Saltoun-Ebin has included the declassified texts of more than 100 of these meetings that deal with the Soviet Union, as well as Reagan's letters to Soviet leaders and their letters to him, and he plans a second volume on other topics.
The documents are not verbatim transcripts. They are minutes, recording in dialogue form. Some of these meetings are mini-dramas, with conflict, wisdom and banality. In the 1987 session, for example, Reagan repeats his hope of sharing technology from the Strategic Defense Initiative with the Soviet Union. None of the cabinet members or other advisers in the room seem very enthusiastic. You can practically hear the sighs and groans.
Reagan says:
Why can't we agree now that if we get to a point where we want to deploy we will simply make all the information available about each other's systems so that we can both have defenses. So that if either side is ready to deploy, both agree to make available to the other all the results of their research."
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger responds:
I don't believe that we could ever do that.
Then, a few minutes later, Reagan returns to the subject:
Once we deploy something, won't they know about the system? So won't they try to counter it anyway, so what difference does it make if they get the information and counter it their way or if we simply provide it to them."
To which Weinberger again says no:
The key here is the price that they are asking for is too high. We ought to just hold tough."
Fragments of these documents were published earlier by Martin Anderson and Annelise Anderson in Reagan's Secret War: The Untold Story of His Fight to Save The World From Nuclear Disaster, Crown, 2009. The Anderson book makes an argument about Reagan's central role in the events, and largely focuses on what Reagan had to say. Saltoun-Ebin is reproducing the broader record, including the remarks of almost everyone around the table. Saltoun-Ebin provides some context notes, but most of the book is comprised of the documents.
Saltoun-Ebin was hired by Richard Reeves in 2001 to help with the research on his book, President Reagan: The Triumph of Imagination (Simon & Schuster, 2005.) They filed hundreds of Freedom of Information Act requests at the Reagan Presidential Library. Most of those requests were not answered before the book went to press.
When Saltoun-Ebin graduated from law school in 2007, he returned to the library and found minutes of meetings of the National Security Council and National Security Planning Group had recently been released. The book is drawn from these documents, as well as others, and Saltoun-Ebin has also posted many of them on a website, TheReaganFiles.com.
Full disclosure: I wrote a blurb for this book, which was self-published by Saltoun-Ebin through CreateSpace. There's a Kindle version now, and it will soon be available as a softcover on Amazon.com.
David E. Hoffman covered foreign affairs, national politics, economics, and served as an editor at the Washington Post for 27 years.
He was a White House correspondent during the Reagan years and the presidency of George H. W. Bush, and covered the State Department when James A. Baker III was secretary. He was bureau chief in Jerusalem at the time of the 1993 Oslo peace accords, and served six years as Moscow bureau chief, covering the tumultuous Yeltsin era.

Barack Obama's two speeches opening his second term–the Inaugural and the State of the Union–contained only the barest of mentions about reducing nuclear weapons and dealing with the legacies of the Cold War that still haunt us. Perhaps now is not the time. Certainly, these efforts take more than just a whim. They take enormous ...
Is nuclear arms control dead?
In his first inaugural address, President Obama made this pledge: "With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming plant." In his second address, the president again returned to climate change — but dropped the nuclear threat. He didn't mention it ...

Fine art. One of a kind abstract art works created by Miami-based artist Randy Nutt, inspired by nature and mind.
What's it like to live with a Nutt?
My work is about ideas, inspired by patterns we are immersed in. Forces, shapes & rhythms of nature, positive & negative space, how humans & nature interact: this is what I think about. Unknown symbols, layers of color, lines, forms & sometimes text make their way into my work. I make art so I can see what I am thinking. I make art so I can get closer to the human world and closer to the natural world: closer to life.
Media include spray paint (used with templates and stencils), collage, water-based paints, cut painted paper, pastels, colored pencils. Recently, I create the works with pastels on paper. Then I mount the paper on a canvas which had already been prepared with gesso in a thick layer so that the final top surface is softy textured. Finally, I seal the surface with a clear spray. I texture the surface so the work becomes more of an object or ARTefact, the documentation of an idea.
All the works are one-of-a kind, signed, archival, the documentation of an idea, "ready to hang." Media include spray paint (used with templates and stencils), collage, water-based paints, cut painted paper, pastels, colored pencils.
The 2D World collages were mounted on heavy cardboard. matted and framed in box frames.
The works painted directly on canvas in The Planet, Thoughts and Eternity, Time Thought Dream , Turbulent Time were painted directly on the prepared canvas, or over another layer of paint. The canvas had already been prepared: stretched over wood frame, stapled at the back, smooth side edges painted with black gloss enamel, top surface prepared with gesso. The black side edges give the picture a finished look, so it doesn't have to have a frame. Some works do have simple wood strip frames painted black, others are in floating frames. Canvases are all ready to hang.
The works painted or drawn on paper then mounted on canvas in the Cut Painted Paper, And Then, The Humans, Chasing Light, Mirrors and Summer and Fall were created on paper first. Then I mounted the paper on the canvas which had already been prepared: stretched over wood frame, stapled at the back, smooth side edges painted with black gloss enamel, top surface prepared with gesso in a thick layer so that the final top surface is softy textured. Finally, the surface is sealed with a clear spray. The reason I texture the surface is so the work becomes an object or ARTefact, archival: the documentation of an idea. The black side edges give the picture a finished look, so it doesn't have to have a frame. Canvases are all ready to hang.
Do you ever think about buying art? This could be the day you start your collection. Or add to your collection. You could look at it, see new things in it and love it every day. Go ahead, open a door, take your mind for a walk.
My art is about: the pattern of life. Virtually anything can be a source of inspiration when broken down into its fundamental parts and seen in the context of its world.
Welcome. Here at the Nutt Gallery Shop, shapes are floating by. We are immersed in the abstract patterns of our interactions with the everyday world: light, shadow, debris, dreams, nature, birds, joy, sadness... I invite you to explore the different abstract art series (Chasing Light, Cities of the Heart, 2D World, and more). Inspired by nature and mind, each series has a distinct character, making use of different elements, colors and media. Open a door and take your mind for a walk. Then take a piece of art home with you. Each unique composition tells an ongoing story, discovered and completed by its interaction with you as you view it and think about it. Enjoy!

Ebonyi: INEC To Repeat Demonstration Of Smart Card Readers
ABUJA – The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it would repeat public demonstration of the Smart Card Readers (SCRs) in Ebonyi on March 14.
The Commission made the disclosure in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr Kayode Idowu, to newsmen in Abuja.
The statement quoted Idowu as saying the decision was made when the Commission met on March 9 to consider field reports from the public demonstration of SCRs conducted in 12 states on Saturday, March 7.
He said "the Commission took a serious view of the high rate of SCRs' failure to authenticate voters' fingerprints in some areas, particularly in Ebonyi State.
"It has decided to thoroughly investigate the cause and repeat the public demonstration in that state.
"This demonstration will be conducted in the particular registration area involved in the last exercise, namely Izzi Unuhu (Abakaliki Local Government Area); as well as in Ibii/Oziza Registration Area (Afikpo North LGA.''
According to him, the repeat demonstration will be done tomorrow, March 14.
Idowu stated that the Commission's decision to deploy SCRs for the 2015 general elections had four main objectives.
The objectives, he added, were to verify Permanent Voter cards (PVCs) presented by voters at polling units to ensure originality and to biometrically authenticate the holder of the PVC.
He said that "from the reports on last Saturday's demonstration, these objectives were achieved 100 per cent.''
He added that 59 per cent of voters who turned out for the demonstration had their fingerprints successfully authenticated.
The INEC official stated that the SCR was meant to provide disaggregated data of accredited voters in male/female and elderly/youth categories.
"A disaggregation that is vital for research and planning purposes, but which INEC until now had been unable to achieve.
"The demonstration of last Saturday fully served this objective.''
Idowu listed the fourth objective to be a command action that would transmit the data of accredited voters to a central server at INEC Headquarters.
"The public demonstration also succeeded wholly in this regard,'' he said.
On the general success rate of the demonstration, the INEC official said it was satisfactory, adding that the process engendered tremendous transparency and credibility to the accreditation process.
It would be recalled that INEC had on March 7 demonstrated the use of the
