Sometimes you want to know the related package of a file, before installation, or when it is already there. This is of great help during system hardening or general system cleanups. In this article we have a look at several ways to determine the relationships between files and the package they belong to. We have gathered this information for multiple Linux distributions.
If you use dnf, then you can query files from the packages that are in your repositories. The package itself does not have to be installed.
Use the -q option with dnf to show only the relevant output.
To show what files are in a package, use the rpm command.
If you have the file name, you can turn this around and find the related package.
The output will provide the package and its version.
To just see the package name, use the –queryformat option.
With yum you can do a similar request to see the related package.
And with DNF there is the provides argument.
This will give you possibly multiple hits, as a file can be part of packages from different repositories.
This data is less easy to parse due to the different types of lines.
If you want to find the related package of a binary (or file), we first have to know the full path. If you know the binary, then use the which command to discover where it is stored. Using the find command is another option, but may be less efficient. With the dpkg package management tool we can find the related package.
Without the awk command, the output will look like this.
If you already know the package name, you can quickly look up the files that are installed by a Debian package.
Let's do the same for the at package and see what it exactly installs (and where).
The first option is using equery, which is part of the package app-portage/gentoolkit.
The package itself should be installed.
Systems running the distributions from SuSE can use the zypper tool to find the link between a file and a package.
Got more useful commands to share? Let it know in the comments and we add them to the article.

Make art supply organization for your little artist using felt and embroidery floss. This is perfect for kids and organizing small spaces in your home.
When I made the new art display for the art corner in our living room, I knew I'd need to figure out a way to incorporate colored pencil and crayon storage. Before, we just had all the pencils tossed in a large mason jar so every time Clara wanted a new color she'd dump the whole jar. Super convenient, y'know?
I was planning on turning my husband's old office into a playroom, so I had been holding off on figuring out art storage, but enough is enough. The office is too far away from the main part of our house, so I had to move to plan B.
And honestly? I think I love it more than plan A!
This art supply organization is super simple, but looks great! Plus, it's easy for Clara to maintain! That's always a major bonus!!
Cut your felt to size depending on what you'll be putting in the pouch. For colored pencils, you want about 6″ for the front part and 7″ for the back.
Depending on the size of felt you get, you just need to fold the felt in and then trim any excess. It's nice to have the backside a little higher than the front to hold in the pencils better.
Cut an 8″ piece of embroidery floss. Tie a knot on one end and then thread your needle. Starting at the bottom, stitch up your sides. Just make sure and start on the back so the knot isn't seen from the front.
Don't worry about leaving space in your pocket for art utensils since the felt has a bit of stretch.
For large pouches, add a stitch right in the middle to hold the felt together a little better.
Once you have both sides stitched and knotted, poke a hole in the top of your felt on the back piece for your s hooks and then hang that puppy up. I love how it turned out and can be moved around on our new kids art display depending on what art is being clipped up at the time.

Criminal Minds is ending with season 15 and fans are emotional
The CBS crime drama has been renewed for one more season and will end after 324 episodes.
Bad news for everyone who loves a good crime drama... Criminal Minds is finally coming to an end at CBS after 15 seasons.
Yep, one of your favourite show has been cancelled but don't worry, it won't be ending with season 14... it's been confirmed that we will still get one more season before it ends forever. The series has been renewed for a fifteenth and final season that will consist of 10 episodes. Those final episodes will be filmed right after they finish filming season 14 and will air at some point in 2019.
With those final 10 episodes, the show will finish with a mind-blowing 324 episodes in total, making it one of the longest-running scripted shows in television history.
Speaking to TV Line, show runner Erica Messer said about the series' cancellation: "It's really bittersweet, but I'm so, so grateful to CBS for giving us this heads-up, I think one of my biggest fears was always, 'Oh man, what if we don't know' and then they just don't bring back the show? But they respect this series and the cast and the crew and the fans enough to end this properly."
Criminal Minds will end at CBS after 15 seasons. Picture: CBS
Back in 2018, Messer told E! News that she could "see this show going another 300 episodes... As long as we have heroes who want to keep chasing the bad guys I feel like we could keep going, and going, and going."
But unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Of course, everyone is in their feelings about the cancellation of their favourite show and people are preparing to say goodbye to a series that's been in their lives for almost 15 years.

Who Are You–in a Pandemic?
James Curtis
"I'm Nobody! Who are you?/Are you—Nobody—too?" Emily Dickinson defiantly asked. If there is one American artist who can help us understand ourselves during a pandemic, it's Emily Dickinson. Like us, she lived in enforced isolation. (It's not well-known that she suffered from epilepsy, and the family wanted to keep her out of public sight.) Unlike us, she was a genius, so she could articulate her (and our) dilemma "I'm Nobody!" and then follow it up with a friendly question, "Are you nobody too?"
To some extent all of us, even introverts like me, get our identity from other people, be they friends, spouses, lovers or family members. So who are we, if we see the people who create our identity are only as small boxes on a Zoom screen? Are we all nobodies—like Dickinson?
Isolation forces us to confront ourselves, to create an identity on our own, and nobody ever understood this better than Emily Dickinson, the high priestess of isolation. She wrote in the second stanza of this poem, "How dreary—to be—Somebody!" Given the radical density of her language, we understand that what she means here is that it's dreary—superficial, unsatisfying—to have only an identity that other people give to you out in the world. "How public—like a Frog—" she adds.
These days lots of people may be feeling like frogs as they find out just much of their identity was given to them in public. The pandemic has forced them to become aware of this fact, which in normal times might have remained comfortably ensconced in their unconscious. But these are not normal times, and in these non-normal times, no American artist can give us more aid and comfort than Emily Dickinson.
James Curtis has a PhD from Columbia University and taught for 31 years at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is the author of several books and articles. After visiting Emily Dickinson's house in Amherst, Massachusetts, last year, he wrote three essays about her and her legacy.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was an American poet best known for her unique style and usage of slant rhyme. Her poems often centered around topics of death, immortality, nature, and spirituality.

What Are Concentrates?
Concentrates are created by stripping the marijuana plant matter of its psychoactive cannabinoid resin properties, also known as trichomes. The most popular and well-known cannabinoids are THC for its psychoactive properties, and CBD for its medicinal properties, however marijuana contains at least 66 cannabinoids. Typically, all of the cannabinoids that are in the plant's profile are extracted and end up in the hash during the concentrate extraction process. The fresher the plant material when it is extracted, the higher the quality of the resulting hash.
Consuming marijuana in a concentrated form allows users to receive a stronger dose of cannabinoids while avoiding inhaling burning plant matter.
Extraction Methods
Ice Water Hash
Pressed
Cannabis concentrate derived from a butane-based extraction is referred to as Butane Hash Oil or BHO for short. BHO can result in varying consistencies; shatter, budder, sap, snap n' pull, and sugar can all be derived from butane extraction. Although dangerous to make at home, sophisticated machinery has made commercial production safe and effective. BHO should be produced by a reputable extractor who understands how to properly purge each run to avoid unpleasant aftertaste or harsh residual butane.
Perhaps the best analogy for how it works is an espresso machine: as the water passes through the puck of ground coffee beans it strips them of their oils (which contain the caffeine, flavor, and aroma) into a filtered, highly concentrated solution. For cannabis, the extractor places plant material in a column with a filtration screen at the end, and as the butane passes through the column it strips the plant material of its cannabinoids and terpenes.
The solution containing both butane and cannabis compounds is then placed in a vacuum oven in order to evaporate, or purge, the BHO of its butane and any other foreign contaminants. There is almost always trace amounts of butane in the oil produced by these extractions, so it is advised to minimize your risk by purchasing lab-tested BHO to ensure your oil is properly purged.
Concentrate derived from a propane-based extraction is referred to as Propane Hash Oil, or PHO for short. Although others are possible, the consistency of PHO is typically budder. The process of propane extraction is very similar to butane extraction, the primary difference is simply swapping butane for propane. Propane extractions run at higher pressures, stripping different ratios of plant waxes and oils than butane which, depending on the strain, can deliver less residuals and higher levels of terpene preservation. Propane has a lower boiling point than butane, which allows for a lower purging temperature for PHO and results in the buddery consistency as opposed to shatter.
CO2 oil is the golden liquid used in almost every pre- filled vaporizer pen cartridge. CO2 oil is substantially safer than propane and butane-derived extracts. CO2 oil is a clean, dab-able product with no harmful residuals or risk of toxicity and CO2 extraction kills any mold or bacteria present in the plant material. CO2 oil is commonly used in edibles and can be purchased in its activated form.
Supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide extractions involve holding the CO2 at high or low pressures, respectively; the process involves extremely expensive extraction machines. The CO2 passes through the cannabis material and strips the plant of its oils, waxes and other matter.
Concentrates can also be created by soaking ground cannabis in alcohol (either isopropyl or Everclear). A short soak is all that is needed to isolate the cannabinoids and terpenes from the starting material. A longer soak will also dissolve undesired plant materials like chlorophylls and waxes. Purging, or evaporating, the alcohol requires precise temperature control and patience. This type of concentrate, also known as Rick Simpson Oil, is typically consumed orally or via tincture.
Dry sift involves using a series of taut silk screens with varying microns to separate the trichome heads from the stalk and plant matter. A micron is a microscopic unit of measurement used to identify the size of the holes in a sifting screen and it retains the most volatile terpenes and preserves the richest aromas.
There are different grades of dry sift ranging from kief, which contains a mixture of trichome heads, stalks, and plant material to full melt, which contains just the glandular trichome heads. As the name indicates, full melt dry sift leaves little to no residue when dabbed, and is considered to be ultimate connoisseur grade hash. It's starting material is typically of the highest quality, which results in an incredibly pure concentrate that does not introduce any foreign substances during the extraction process. This type of concentrate typically looks like beach sand and can be pressed into a dab-able sheet with light heat and pressure.
Ice water extraction is very similar to dry sift; however the process incorporates ice and water to break the brittle trichome heads off of the plant material. The agitation can be performed by hand or with the help of a washing machine. The solution containing the water and trichomes is then filtered through what is known as a sieve stack, or a series of filtration screens of varying microns. The purpose of the screens is to remove any contaminate (plant material) and to isolate the glandular trichome heads.
The final step in the ice water extraction process is to break down the hash into smaller pieces using a microplane or metal strainer so it can properly dry. Once the ice water hash is free of moisture, it is typically placed in an air-tight glass jar to cure; the longer the better.
Like dry sift, there are varying grades of ice water hash. Quality ice water extractions also take on the consistency of beach sand and can be pressed into dab-able sheets. Cannabis extracts produced using this technique have a variety of names such as bubble hash, ice-o- lator hash, full melt, solventless wax or ice wax.
The newest trend in cannabis concentrate production is the Pressed method, referred to as the 'rosin tech' or 'solventless hash oil' (SHO). This process utilizes heat and pressure to extract the essential oils from the flower or hash.
The consistency, yield, and flavor profile of rosin will vary based on strain and the specific amount of heat and pressure utilized; but as a general rule of thumb, lower temperatures and higher pressures result in the least adulterated, most terpene-rich extracts. The rosin tech typically produces a glassy, stable oil that takes on a shattery consistency; but like most concentrates, you can find it in a variety of consistencies.
Types Of Concentrates
Wax or Budder
Distilate
Hash Oil is the extracted oil from cannabis, typically found in cartridges for vape pens. You may also know this concentrate as wax, BHO, dabs or any number of other nicknames depending on how the product has been finished. Oil has a higher concentration of THC — the main psychoactive chemical in pot — than regular buds giving hash oil the reputation for being more potent. Oil can be smoked or vaporized directly, or used to make edible products or topicals.
Wax or Budder is produced by whipping air into butane hash oil (BHO) or propane hash oil (PHO) while purging the butane or propane out with heat and agitation. Whipping the hash allows the solvent to escape quickly and creates a consistency that can range from hard and crumbly to soft and gummy depending on the strain and the way it was produced. The most common way to smoke wax is to put the wax into a wax vaporizer pen or dab it in a glass rig. Some people like to put wax on top of bowls or in joints as well.
Shatter is produced by purging the solvent from the hash oil in a vacuum oven for up to 72 hours. No agitation is used in this process, allowing the hash oil to form a stable, translucent structure. The resulting substance can have the consistency of glass or taffy depending on the strain. Shatter is usually sold on parchment paper and will "shatter" when broken apart. The most common way to use shatter is dabbing it through a rig.
Live Resin is often considered the most flavorful and pungent type of hash oil. Terpenes are preserved by freezing a freshly harvested plant and then performing the extraction. Most of a plant's terpenes are lost during the first week of drying, so this type of concentrate has a flavor and aroma that is closer to the scent of the bud while still "on the vine." The consistency can vary depending on the strain, ranging from a wet sugar consistency to a stickier substance like sap. Live Resin can be used in a vape pen or dabbed.
Distillate is made using a process called short path distillation that requires further refining and purifying BHO/PHO with alcohol. Using controlled temperatures to extract individual cannabinoids or terpenes, the compounds are then extracted and collected, with the resulting oil appearing almost translucent. No solvents are retained in the product during the distillation process, which is why it's called "solvent-less" distillate. The consistency of distillates is similar to that of honey. It can be purchased in raw form, with a neutral smell and taste, or infused with natural flavors and terpenes. Distillate can be used in a vape pen or dabbed. Potency will range from 75- 99.9% THC.
Ice Water Hash, aka Bubble Hash, is made by using ice cold water and agitation. The cold temperatures make the trichomes brittle, and agitation helps break those trichomes off from the plant material. Then, different sized micron screens are used to filter the plant material from the various sized trichomes. As the majority of cannabinoids and terpenoids exist in the head of the trichome, the highest grade bubble hash consists purely of trichome heads. The hash is then dried and pressed or left loose. Potency will range from 30-85% THC.
Rosin refers to an extraction process that utilizes a combination of heat and pressure to nearly instantaneously squeeze resinous sap from your initial starting material, producing Rosin. The term "rosin" originated as a method of making a product used to lubricate violin bows. With cannabis, this method is incredibly versatile in that it can either be used with flowers or to clean up hash and kief into a full-melt hash oil. The result is a translucent, sappy, and sometimes shatter-like product. If executed correctly, rosin can rival the flavor, potency, and yield of other solvent-based extraction products.
Aesthetically, rosin is almost impossible to distinguish from shatter or sap. However, the difference between the two is that rosin is completely free of the residual solvents often left behind by butane (BHO) or propane (PHO).

Taht-e Sulejman (perzijski:  تخت سلیمان za "Salomonovo prijestolje") je arheološki lokalitet u iranskoj pokrajini Zapadni Azarbajdžan, na pola puta između gradova Urmije i Hamadana, kod današnjeg mjesta Takaba, oko 400 km zapadno od Teherana.

Izvorno je izgrađen kao citadela za vrijeme vladavine Sasanida, koja uključuje ostatke zoroastrijskog vatrenog hrama, a dijelom je obnovljena za muslimanskih vladara Ilhanida. Njegovo izvorno semitsko ime je bilo Adur Višnasp i bio je posvećen arteštarima, ratničkoj klasi Sasanida. Sasanidski vladari prije nego što su mogli sjesti na prijestolje bili su obvezani posjetiti tri ova hrama koja su nazivana i "Velikim vatrama" ili "Kraljevskim vatrama".

Narodna predaja kaže kako je kralj Salomon običavao zatočiti čudovišta u 100 metara duboku rasjedu poznatu kao Zendani Sulejman ("Salomonov zatvor"), a jedan drugi krater u samoj citadeli ispunjen je svježom vodom, te se također kaže kako ga je načinio Salomon.

Arheološka iskapanja su otkrila ahemenidske tragove iz 5. stoljeća pr. Kr., ali i kasnije iz razdoblja partskog naselja na citadeli. Tu je pronađen i novac iz vremena sasanidskih vladara, ali i bizanstkog cara Teodeozija II. (408. – 450.).
Zbog svega navedenog 2003. godine upisan je na UNESCO-ov popis mjesta svjetske baštine u Aziji i Oceaniji.

Guardiola signs two-year contract extension at Manchester City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has committed to the Premier League champions until the end of the 2020-21 season.

Pep Guardiola has signed a two-year contract extension to remain as manager of Manchester City, the Premier League champions have confirmed.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss penned a three-year deal at the Etihad Stadium in 2016 and his new terms will follow on, meaning he is committed to City until the end of the 2020-21 season.
Guardiola endured a trophy-less campaign for the first time in his coaching career last season, but it was a different story this time around as he picked up the EFL Cup and won the Premier League by a record-breaking margin as City racked up 100 points.
Those achievements saw the 47-year-old named League Managers Association and Premier League Manager of the Year this week and he is looking forward to trying to take more strides forward with his title-winning squad.
"I am so happy and excited. It's a pleasure to be able to work here," Guardiola said.
"I enjoy working with our players every day and we will try to do our best together in the coming years. As a manager, you have to feel good to be with the players – and I feel good.
"I will focus on the desire of my players to become a better team and every day that's what I will try to do – to improve on the pitch and improve our players.
"We have a young squad with an average age of 23 and we want to keep taking steps forward and maintain the levels we've achieved this season."
If Guardiola sees out his new deal in full, it will mark his longest period at a club following four seasons with Barca and three at Bayern.
Along with their record winning margin (19) and points haul, City also set Premier League bests in 2017-18 in terms of goals scored (106), consecutive matches won (18), away victories (16) and overall wins (32).
Guardiola has won 77 of his 113 games at the helm in Manchester, while his win percentage of 72.4 per cent is the highest in Premier League history.
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "We are delighted to announce the extension of Pep's contract through to 2021.
"In his two seasons with us, he has fostered an incredible spirit within the squad and significantly contributed to our progress both on and off the field.
"In doing so he has embodied the passion and commitment we all have for the club."
Chief executive Ferran Soriano added: "Pep's new contract extension is fantastic news for Manchester City. We have all been privileged to witness how we have played beautiful football, won titles, broken records and reached the incredible mark of 100 Premier League points.
"Pep has shown this style can succeed in the Premier League in a way it has never been done before.
"This season has been another step of our strategic plan and the continuous effort to improve the football we play. We are very pleased with the progress.
"There is more work to do and having Pep committed to Manchester City for the next three seasons gives us the stability to be able to continue our journey to beautiful football and success for the club."


There are many different types of headaches, and their causes and symptoms can vary. Although most are short-lived and rarely a cause for concern, being able to recognize which kind of headache a person is experiencing can inform them how best to treat it and whether to see a doctor.
Headaches are a common complaint. According to the World Health Organization, most people will experience a headache from time to time.
While they can be sometimes painful and debilitating, the majority can be treated with simple painkillers and will go away within several hours. However, repeated attacks or certain types of headache could be a sign of something more serious.
This article looks at some of the most common types of headaches, along with their causes, treatment, prevention, and when to see a doctor.
The International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) defines more than 150 different types of headaches. These are divided into two main categories: primary and secondary.
A primary headache is one that is not caused by another condition — it is the condition itself. Examples include migraine and tension headache.
Migraines are categorized as a primary headache, and are often accompanied by visual disturbances.
A person who has a migraine will characteristically feel an intense throbbing pain on just one side of the head.
The person may experience a heightened sensitivity to light, sound, and smell. Nausea and vomiting are also common.
Be aware that aura symptoms could also indicate stroke or meningitis. Anyone experiencing them for the first time should see a doctor immediately.
Migraines tend to be recurrent, and each attack may last up to 3 days. For many, it is a life-long condition.
Although a migraine can occur in both adults and children, it is three times more likely to develop in females than males. Attack frequency can range from several times a week to once a year.
The causes of migraine are not fully understood. However, it often runs in families. Migraines are also more common in people with certain pre-existing conditions, such as depression and epilepsy.
Over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, can stop headaches or reduce pain and duration.
Doctors can prescribe an antiemetic drug to relieve nausea and vomiting, such as metoclopramide or ondansetron. Migraine-specific combination drugs are also available.
For more difficult-to-treat migraines, doctors may prescribe a type of drug called a triptan, such as sumatriptan or rizatriptan. A person should take all medications as soon as migraine symptoms begin for best effect.
Drug options for migraine prevention include topiramate, propranolol, and amitriptyline. Other management choices to consider are dietary supplements, meditation, acupuncture, and neuromodulation therapy, which involves applying mild electrical pulses to the nerves.
These headaches normally last from 30 minutes to several hours. Severity can vary, but they rarely prevent normal activities.
OTC painkillers, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin are usually very effective in stopping or reducing pain. Individuals experiencing a headache on more than 15 days per month over 90 days should see a doctor.
Cluster headaches may cause a painful burning sensation behind the eyes.
Cluster headaches are severe and recurrent headaches that are six times more likely to develop in men than in women. People describe an intense burning or piercing pain behind or around one eye.
Cluster headaches are usually sudden, without warning, and last between 15 minutes and 3 hours. People can experience up to eight attacks a day.
Attacks tend to occur in daily clusters that can persist for weeks or months. They typically take place at the same time of day, which can often be a couple of hours after falling asleep at night.
Any person experiencing these symptoms — which can sometimes be mistaken for hay fever — should consult their doctor.
The cause of cluster headaches is unclear, but they are more likely to occur in smokers. People should avoid alcohol during attack periods.
Doctors may suggest surgery in very difficult-to-treat cases.
What's to know about headache on the left side?
In this article, we look at the causes and associated symptoms of a headache on the left side of the head.
These headaches are usually very short-lived but can sometimes last up to 2 days. They present as a throbbing pain felt throughout the head and are more common in those with a family history of migraine.
Individuals experiencing cluster headaches for the first time should see a doctor, as they could be a sign of something serious.
Most attacks can be treated with OTC painkillers. Taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or a beta-blocker before exertion can help prevent the headaches, as can warm-up exercises.
A hypnic headache is a rare condition that usually begins for the first time in a person's 50s but can start sooner. Also known as "alarm clock" headaches, they wake people during the night.
A hypnic headache consists of a mild-to-moderate throbbing pain usually felt on both sides of the head. It can last for up to 3 hours, and other symptoms may include nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
People can experience several attacks each week. The cause of hypnic headaches is not understood, and there are no known triggers.
Although hypnic headaches are harmless, an older person who experiences any new kind of headache for the first time should see a doctor. Migraine and cluster headaches also need to be ruled out.
The leading treatment choice is caffeine, taken as tablets or as cups of coffee before bedtime. Other drug options include indomethacin, melatonin, and lithium.
A secondary headache is a symptom of something else, such as a headache resulting from a head injury or sudden caffeine withdrawal.
Certain medication may cause frequent headaches when taken regularly.
A medication-overuse headache (MOH) — sometimes known as a rebound headache — is the most common type of secondary headache. A MOH is marked by frequent or daily headaches with symptoms similar to those of either tension headaches or migraines.
These headaches initially respond to painkillers but then reoccur sometime later.
A MOH can still occur despite taking these medications as directed. However, a MOH mainly seems to develop in people taking painkillers specifically for the treatment of a headache.
The only treatment for MOH is to stop taking the medication behind the headaches. Anybody stopping medication should do so under the supervision of a doctor. The doctor will able to help devise a plan and may be able to prescribe other medicines that can ease the withdrawal process.
Symptoms are likely to worsen before they improve after stopping the drug. Headaches will typically stop within 10 days.
Most people revert to their original headache pattern within 2 months. After this, it should be safe to start retaking pain relief medication.
Sinus headaches are caused by sinusitis — a swelling of the sinuses — which is usually the result of an infection or an allergy.
The symptoms consist of a dull, throbbing ache around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. The pain may worsen with movement or straining and can sometimes spread to the teeth and jaw.
These headaches are usually accompanied by a thick green or yellow nasal discharge. Other symptoms may include blocked nose, fever, nausea, and light or sound sensitivity.
Sinus headaches are quite rare. If there are no nasal symptoms, a headache of this nature is more likely to be a migraine.
Sinus headaches can be treated with OTC painkillers and nasal decongestants. People should see a doctor if symptoms do not improve within a week.
A doctor may prescribe antibiotics if they think a bacterial infection has caused the headache, or antihistamines in the case of an allergy. Doctors may also prescribe a corticosteroid nasal spray to help reduce the swelling.
To diagnose the underlying cause of the sinusitis, a doctor may refer an individual to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. In some cases, surgical drainage may be required.
Heavy caffeine consumption — more than 400 milligrams (mg), or around 4 cups of coffee — can sometimes lead to headaches.
Symptoms are often relieved within an hour of caffeine intake or will resolve fully within 7 days after complete withdrawal.
The effects of caffeine vary from person to person, but reducing intake could decrease the risk of getting headaches. Limiting caffeine consumption is sometimes recommended for people who have chronic migraine.
Head injuries, including those sustained in contact sports, may lead to headaches.
Minor bumps and blows to the head and neck are common and are usually nothing to worry about.
Sometimes, a headache may develop immediately or soon after. These are often similar to migraine or tension headaches and can usually be treated with OTC painkillers.
Post-traumatic headaches can also develop months after the original head injury, making them difficult to diagnose. They can sometimes occur daily and persist for up to 12 months.
Headaches are often related to changes in hormone levels. In women, migraine is frequently linked with periods due to natural changes in estrogen levels.
These menstrual migraines develop in the days just before or during a period, or sometimes during ovulation. Symptoms are similar to migraine without aura but can last longer or be more debilitating.
Consuming too much alcohol can lead to a throbbing headache the next morning or even later that day. These migraine-like headaches are usually felt on both sides of the head and are made worse by movement. Someone who has a hangover headache may also experience nausea and sensitivity to light.
There are no cures for hangovers, but it is possible to relieve symptoms by drinking plenty of water and eating sugary foods. OTC painkillers may help reduce or stop the headache pain.
Symptoms of hangovers tend to go away within 72 hours.
Most headaches are rarely a sign of something more serious and most people can manage them efficiently with OTC painkillers.

I'd love to take full credit for today's gag, but I can't. Fellow cartoonist Bret Juliano of the famed comic strip Dust Bunny Mafia send me an email with this idea. I thought it would be perfect as part of Carl's world-wide experience. So a hardy thanks Bret, and go check out his stuff. Funny stuff going on over there.
He could'a been a contender!

Gut Check Time For Tigers
By aubtigerman May 9, 2012, 12:07am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Gut Check Time For Tigers
Baseball is a perplexing game. It probably more than any other team sport mirrors the ups and downs and the paradoxes of real life. That's certainly been the case this year for the Auburn Tigers.
While Auburn picked up their 26th win last night against Presbyterian 18-2, the Tigers are a woeful 10-14 in the SEC and find themselves in a precarious position for post season play.
The season began with so much promise. Just one month ago, the team was in first place in the SEC West and ranked No.23 in the nation. Today the Tigers are in 10th place overall.
It's been a roller coaster ride thus far and the train appears to be teetering on running off the track. It's almost paradoxical how this team can score 35 runs in a sweep of Tennessee and then one week later be swept by a mediocre Georgia team.
It's paradoxical that the Tigers could take series wins against No.8 LSU and No.12 Ole Miss and then be swept by bottom feeder Alabama. Then a couple weeks later sweep Tennessee and turn around and lose three in Athens. Auburn may have lost more than the series against UGA too - they may have lost their chance for an NCAA bid.
It's paradoxical that Auburn would have to move last years ace Derek Varnadore to the bull pen and then lose one of the best pitchers in the SEC (Will Kendall) to a shoulder injury and still sweep the Vols.
Yet, the paradox of it all is that while the hope of playing in the post season may appear to be lost, if the Tigers can win three of their remaining six SEC games against No. 13 Arkansas and No. 5 Florida - that will change.
Is that scenario possible? ...
Yes. - Is that scenario probable? ... Probably not. But that's why they play the game.
And before anyone doubts these Tigers too much; remember they are still the top hitting (.301), slugging (.431) and on base percentage (.369) team in the SEC and are second in runs scored (127).
There are eight games left in the next 10 days. The Tigers need to win their two remaining non conference games and win three league games to finish 31-25 to go to the NCAA big dance. Taking two out of six from the Hogs and the Gators might be enough but finishing the stretch 5-3 would certainly do it.
It's now down to the wire. It's now gut check time. A time that will not only be a test of this team's playing ability and Pawlowski's coaching ability but it will be a test of nerve and determination.
Auburn has demonstrated flashes of greatness this season, winning four SEC series including taking the first three of the season and leading the league in hitting. However, the Tigers have also shown an unusual capacity for mediocrity, losing to Samford and dropping two to cellar dweller Vanderbilt.
Consistency has been the problem for the Tigers all season. Auburn has to be more consistent in the fundamentals to have any chance against Arkansas and Florida. Being smart on the base paths, good defense, and good pitching has to be there in every remaining outing.
Baseball is a perplexing game. Just like life we never know what twist and turns may come our way.
But while the Tigers may not be able to see the twist and turns of the next eight games, they can buckle down and play with the focus and determination that saw the team lead the SEC West back in April.
One thing's for sure, there is no more tomorrow. It's either get the job done or be prepared to sit at home for another post season. The pressure is on ...
It's gut check time.

After what now appears to be a very timely Part I update pointing to lower prices in the first quarter of 2016, let's now move on to Part II where we'll cover selectivity. Which asset classes, styles, sectors, or select industries are looking the most attractive?
All strategies are dynamically adjusting to market conditions on a daily basis based on our proprietary Net Exposure, Selection and Position Size criteria. In this case, that means becoming more and more defensive with an eye toward pending opportunities. Investment results are the residue of excellent design and execution over time and you are witnessing it all happening in this market.
Take a quick look at the five-year daily chart below. In red, I am showing the Nasdaq 100 index commonly owned through the QQQ ETF. This index represents the top 100 large cap growth stocks as a pure package. In green, I am showing an average of six mutual funds that I would consider pure value funds with diehard value fund managers. These guys sometimes do die hard as you can see from the green chart, which peaked in July of 2014 and is down a full 20%. Comparatively, the pure growth side of the market is up 15% since that same July peak.
Near the end of raging bulls, we often see a strong preference for growth as "it" becomes more and more scarce. The run up in the FANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google) last year was a great example as some of the only names to generate positive returns. What you see is a wide gap in performance and one that will ultimately close again. When does that happen? It happens at a time like this when investors finally decide to take profits in their "growth" names with the type of fear and selling pressure we're seeing now. Then there is a brief period (1-2 quarters) when both groups fall together as they did spectacularly in 2008 and then…. THEN we see the value group rise from the ashes taking over leadership at a time when recession starts to emerge. It is too early to buy pure value and the time frame for doing so looks more like the second half of 2016 than the first half. But the opportunity for a great buy in Value is coming.
I'll breakdown a few of these to give you an example.
Telecom has one of the smallest weightings in terms of market cap and therefore offers one of the lowest correlations to the broad US stock market. It also offers the highest dividends and is trading at one of the lowest valuations of all sectors. The only metric we don't like with telecom is its relatively high debt to equity ratios. It is a hybrid sector that offers both defensive and offensive properties. Sounds good.
Now let's look at energy. Energy has negative free cash flow and is miraculously still one of the most overvalued sectors by P/E even after a 50% decline. Debt to Equity is one of the worst and there seems to be almost no catalyst for improving prices with supply and demand as they are. Dividend payouts are healthy but falling and suspect. The only thing we like about energy is that prices have already fallen significantly (but can fall much further) and that energy is typically one of the late stage leaders in a maturing economy cycle. All things considered, we're (still) not looking to make money in energy in 2016.
One more – Industrials. This sector is under persistent selling pressure now but we're watching it closely for a buy in the first quarter of 2016. Why? Valuations are some of the most attractive with single digit P/Es, high free cash flow and very high return on equity. Debt to Equity is also below market. Dividends are also above market and industrials typically do well in late stage economic cycles especially as interest rates are rising. Not all industrials are created equally however so investors will want to buy individual names here rather than via an "industrial" sector fund. All three of our Tactical Equity strategies will be looking to buy individual names once the technical price patterns turn up.
Housing and real estate are of course a sector but deserve their own commentary. At our 2005 annual meeting, I spent a majority of our presentation on the obvious credit bubble that would lead to a very tough real estate market environment. I showed a picture from the cover of the Economist entitled, "The Houses That Saved the World" alluding to the near euphoria at the time.
I also said that the pending housing crisis could last at least 10 years. Well now, let's fast forward to today – ten years later. With the exception of just a few regional markets, housing prices, new home starts, current supply, has yet to exceed the peak levels established in 2006 and 2007. Strange as it may seem, it now looks like housing and real estate might be one of the bright spots in 2016. I might go as far to say that the sector looks like it could even be recession proof (don't hold me to that). In a nutshell, this sector is still recovering and may have further to run. The analysis is based on the current status of variables like the very low percent of GDP represented by housing. It is based on demographics, as the biggest generation of all time, the Millennials, are just now becoming first time homebuyers. It is based on the fact that the monthly supply of available homes is just now turning up from a low in 2013 meaning we still have very low inventory.
Is it also based on the fact that the median age of a home in the US is 39 year old! What we see is a multiyear investment cycle that will favor home builders and all those companies that live in the wake of real estate trends like furniture, wood, roofing materials, paint, mortgage companies, etc. It looks to us like the music will play on for housing at least in the residential world. The only area that is now absurdly overdone in price and oversupply is multi-unit housing like giant apartment complexes. I can see all of our Denver clients nodding their heads.
High yield bonds were hammered in 2015 and continue to fall in price today. I would describe the situation in the middle of last year as the only clear bubble. Now it all comes down as all bubbles do. Price and wealth deterioration is in progress and we're not done yet as default rates associated with high yield energy and technology bonds are likely to get much higher. What we're really seeing is the fallout from years of near zero interest rates. Companies were more than happy to issue bonds at 4-5% instead of borrowing from a bank for 6-7% and investors were hungry for yields paying 4-5% when they couldn't get income anywhere else. The perfect storm! Debt issuance was at an all time high in 2014 and most of it was truly "junk" (aka Junk bonds with BBB or lower ratings). High yield corporate bonds finished 2015 down hard and yields are now on the rise, pushing up to 8%. If the historic pattern prevails, we'll see 10-12% yields at the bottom giving us one of those multi-year buying opportunities. Both of our Income models and large pieces of our Blended Asset strategies can invest in corporate bonds liberally. Again, the time to do so is not now but it's coming. I will actively and shamelessly recommend an investment in either of our Income strategies now as we remain in cash waiting for the opportunity to present itself.
That's it for Part II of our 2016 Best Bets series with more coming, stay tuned.

Literary Devices Used In Macbeth Essay
11 Jan, 2021 Free Essays , Free Samples 0
Imagine how dull a Shakespearean play would be without the ingenious literary devices and techniques that contribute so much to the fulfillment of its reader or viewer. Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, is a tragedy that combines fact and legend to tell the story of an eleventh century king. Shakespeare uses numerous types of literary techniques to make this tragic play more appealing. Three literary devices that Shakespeare uses to make Macbeth more interesting and effective are irony, symbolism, and imagery.
One technique that Shakespeare uses is irony. Verbal irony is when a character says one thing but means the opposite. When a reader understands the irony of what a character is saying, then he can truly understand the nature and intentions of the character. An example of verbal irony is when Macbeth says to Banquo, "Tonight we hold a solemn supper, sir,/ And I ll request your presence" (Macbeth 3.1.13-14). The reader soon discovers that Banquo never makes it to the banquet because he is brutally murdered by order of Macbeth. Shakespeare also uses situation irony. This occurs when the results of an action or event are different than what is expected.

An example of situation irony occurs when Macduff talks to Malcolm and discusses the tragedies that are taking place in Scotland. Without knowing that his own family has been slain Macduff says, " Each new morn/ New widows howl, new orphans cry, new sorrows/ Strike heaven on the face" (4.3.4-6). Ironically, Macduff comments about widows, while he is completely unaware that he is a widower himself. The irony, a key element to a tragic play like Macbeth, has the ability to make the tragic hero appear more villainous or the down-fall seem even more tragic.
The second type of literary device that Shakespeare uses in Macbeth is symbolism. The predominant symbol is blood and is used as an effective method to describe the theme of the play. Not only does blood symbolize bravery, it is also a means of showing treachery and treason and probably most importantly, guilt. One example of bravery occurs when the captain says, "For brave Macbeth well he deserves that name–Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution"(1.2.16-18). Soon after this blood changes into a representation of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth asks the spirits to "Make thick my blood, Stop up th access and passage to remorse" (1.5. 43-44). She asks the spirits to take away compassion and make her remorseless for the actions she is about to take.
Also, when Ross asks, "Is t known who did this more than bloody deed?" (2.4.22), he tries to figure out who performed the disloyal act of murdering the king. Blood is also used many times to express the guilt-ridden consciences of the characters. For instance, Macbeth says, "What hands are here? Ha! They pluck out my own eyes!
Will all great Neptune s ocean wash the blood Clean from my hand?" (2.3.58-60). Macbeth obviously feels guilty for killing Duncan in cold blood. Later in the play, Lady Macbeth reveals her guilt while sleepwalking. She walks through the castle carrying a candle. She often sits the candle down and begins to rub her hands as if she is trying to wash them. In her sombre state, she cries out:
What need do we fear who knows it when none can call our pow r to accept? Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him? (5.1.38-41).
Lady Macbeth feels as though she cannot wipe clean her blood-stained hands. This is a bit ironic since earlier she told Macbeth, "A little water clears us of this deed" (2.2.66). Lady Macbeth has many dreams and fantasies about blood, which shows that she cannot clear her conscience of this brutal act.
Another literary technique that is used in Macbeth is word imagery. Word imagery is a term for a metaphor, a comparison that does not use the words "like" or "as". One of the best examples of this is clothing imagery. For instance, Ross tells Macbeth that he has been named Thane of Cawdor, and Macbeth says, "The Thane of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me in/ Borrowed robes?" (1.3.108-109). Macbeth asks why Ross is telling him this. This title is like new clothes to him, but this title and these clothes should still belong to the former Thane of Cawdor. Another example of clothing imagery occurs when Macbeth tells his wife that he has second thoughts about killing Duncan.
He says, "I have bought/ Golden opinions from all sorts of people,/ Which would be worn now in their newest gloss" (1.7.32-34). Lady Macbeth thinks he is being irrational. Macbeth knows that he is the center of attention now because he saved the country. He also knows that if he kills Duncan everyone would be more interested in the death of their king than in their hero, Macbeth.
Shakespeare s work reveals that he knew how to make a play a work of art. Through his use of irony, symbolism, and imagery he is able to grab the reader or the viewer s attention and keep it. These elements have contributed to the endurance of his works for centuries, and they will help it to endure for centuries to come. Without the use of these techniques, Macbeth would not be the tragic play that it is. This play would lack very important methods that help idealize the characters in the play.

Allan Singer '81 /
Allan Singer '81
Cable-network executive matures with the market
By Michelle Simmons
When Allan Singer '81 began studying law at the University of Colorado Law School, the cable-television landscape was just beginning to take shape. "I was really lucky," he says. "When the cable industry was being created, it was out of Denver."
After a stint as partner of a law firm, Singer joined the programming department of Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI) and helped launch the cable revolution. "We created all these networks—Discovery Channel, Cartoon Network, regional sports networks," he says. In 2003, Singer became Comcast Cable's senior vice president for content acquisition, where he managed the company's expansion to include TechTV, Comcast SportsNet Chicago and PBS Kids Sprout, among others.
Now, as executive vice president for distribution and strategy, Singer is one of the architects behind the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), which debuts January 2011. With a line-up that ranges from "Oprah's All-Stars"—Dr. Phil, Suze Orman and Dr. Oz—and "Our America with Lisa Ling" to reality show "Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star," the network is poised to introduce both familiar and fresh faces to her fan base and beyond.
OWN also will be available on multiple media platforms. "In the new media space, Oprah's content lends itself to long and short forms," Singer explains. "It's a lot of being creative in technology and paying attention to where it's going in the future. We're very respectful of our distributor's business, but we also make sure that the network can go other places as technology emerges."
The former political-science major traces much of that creativity—in programming development, acquisition and technology—back to his liberal-arts experience, noting his wide range of courses at Dickinson and the opportunities for global, strategic thinking.
"The best people aren't just negotiators; they have a financial background," he says. "It's also people with an understanding of technology who can look down the road. They're entrepreneurial. There's real value created."

Will the curtain rise again for Louisville performance venues?
Words by EP Presnell
There's an eerie silence that takes over the Iroquois Amphitheater when nobody is in it. There are piles of dead leaves on every step, below chairs, and even some that have found a home on its stage. The cold of winter creeps into the seats and stage that should hold people and artists; but, without them, it's an empty atmosphere, lacking life. It's not just this way because it's winter — nobody has graced the stage since Oct. 2019.

It's heartbreaking to see it this way. Theaters and concert halls are one of the biggest sources of energy and heart, and to see it so empty, in comparison to the life it holds normally, feels like stepping into another world. When I look at the seats I sat at when I saw two of my favorite YouTubers, that memory feels like a world away compared to where we are now.
The Iroquois Amphitheater is one of the main venue locations that had to temporarily shut its doors due to the outbreak of COVID-19. While the closure of the theater has stopped touring concerts from coming and performing, as they have across the entire country, it has been a sad time for the community as well.
"This is very much a community building. It's been here, what, 83 years now… This is historic," said Sabrina Parrish, the Marketing and Event Coordinator of the Iroquois Amphitheater.

The various venues of the Louisville area, from the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts to Mercury Ballroom to the Iroquois Amphitheater, are monumental — living grounds for the arts and the community they attract. Although most of them have been closed since March of this year, if not before that, many have found a way to continue to support artists and spread the work they have been creating during quarantine.
"We have been working on a virtual series of performances that launched in April of this year called Kentucky Performing Arts (KPA) at home. That was a series that ran nightly through our Facebook page," said Christian Adelberg, the Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.

These performances feature local artists who have been unable to perform live due to the closure of venues. Digital concerts have been on the rise since venues have been closed down, which provide fans of all kinds, including those who can't afford tickets to live shows, the chance to see their favorite artists perform.
As a person who loves concerts and performances, this has been a struggle of a year, to say the least. My family and many of my friends all had concerts on our calendar, but it was all put on hold. Although live performances add another level of excitement to an artist or their music, one thing has stayed strong through it all: a love for the arts as a whole.
Despite these venues being closed, the community's love for the arts has prospered through it all. Artists have been given more time to think creatively which has produced some of the best albums and extended playlists that have helped get everyone through the year. Through YouTube and Disney+, people from around the world have been able to see Broadway shows and performances they might not have otherwise.
When it comes to reopening and looking to the future, everything is still up in the air. The Kentucky Center has its shows still planned for the 2021 season, including the return of "Hamilton." As Adelberg said, Broadway will go on until it can't. For the Iroquois Amphitheater, they have shows rescheduled from 2020 to go on starting July 2021.
When performances continue, they will likely be different experiences than normal, though. The Kentucky Center theaters will all require temperature checks, social distancing, and other basic COVID-19 guidelines, but when they will reopen is still unknown.

According to Adelberg, they are looking at different ways to safely reopen the Kentucky Performing Arts theaters including the Kentucky Center, the Brown Theater, and Old Forester's Paristown Hall. One course of action would be to have a staggered reopening, where the theaters would reopen at different times.
The main problem they are currently facing is how to go about reopening safely and in a way that is financially feasible. Many donors have been unable to donate as much due to the financial crisis COVID-19 has caused. If the theaters were to reopen safely, the theaters could only allow 40-60% of what they normally hold, and because shows take so much money to produce, there wouldn't be much financial gain for the theater. In addition, they've had to pull back greatly on the number of employees they have.
"We went from 98 full-time employees and 102 part-time employees down to 12 full-time employees," said Adelberg.
Though there have been big losses during this time, one thing has gotten us through all of this, and it's the love and spirit of the arts that has kept these places and employees up.
From plays to musicals to concerts, the arts have provided us stories to lose ourselves in when the real world seems too dire at times. Although the places we turn to for comfort and entertainment are closed, what they stand for has not been lost. This year has been a maze that we have lost ourselves in, and understandably so. It feels as though every time we thought an end was in sight, we would end up taking a wrong turn and reach a dead end. Sometimes the walls around us felt so unbelievably tall and harrowing that it felt like we'd never make it out, but we've had hope pop up in random bursts the entire time. A new album or movie provided us with the energy we'd lost and made us turn around to find a way out.
One day, the Iroquois Amphitheater will reopen, and a new artist will take the stage for the first time in over a year. The dead leaves will be swept away, the seats will be filled with guests, anxiously anticipating the first show they've seen in months and there will be life to the theater once again. The coldness of winter will be gone, and there will be hope. Hope that things are taking a turn for the better and that normalcy will return once again.
"This is just intermission and with your help and support, the curtain will rise again," said Adelberg.
