2011 Japan earthquake & Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant discussion

Vancouver beaches cleared of tons of debris from 2011 earthquake.
Work began Tuesday to clear dozens of beaches on the west coast of Vancouver Island of debris and plastics, much of it washed ashore from the 2011 tsunami that swept Japan.
Using a helicopter, a barge and a tug, volunteers are picking up cached bundles of garbage from one end of the island to the other.
For months, hundreds of volunteers from seven groups have combed beaches by foot and by boat between Cape Scott in the north and Sooke in the south.
They bagged a staggering array of plastic junk and stashed them above the tide line for later removal.
Now, with the last bits of money provided by the Japanese government for a multi-year tsunami debris cleanup program, members of the Vancouver Island Marine Debris Working Group hired the tug Westco Rouge out of Campbell River to pick up the junk and take it to Richmond for recycling.

Really? Japan paid for it? Why?
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

I think it's more a Japanese cultural thing, most countries wouldn't pay for it traditionally the Japanese are extremely honorable.
They don't even have public trash cans in most of Japan(mostly to avoid sarin gas attacks) but regardless much less trash littered on the street than here.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 hit northern Japan on Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, generating a tsunami that hit the nation's northern Pacific coast.
The earthquake, which was felt in Tokyo, was centred off the coast of Fukushima prefecture at a depth of about 10 kilometres and struck at 5:59 a.m. local time, the agency said.
A 60-centimetre tsunami had been observed at Fukushima's Onahama Port and a 90-centimetre tsunami at Soma soon after, public broadcaster NHK said.
The region is the same that was devastated by a tsunami following a massive earthquake in 2011. A tsunami warning of up to three metres has been issued.

January 24, 2017, CNBC: Fukushima radiation levels far lower than previously thought, study finds https://www.google.c...tudy-finds.html
February 03, 2017, The Guardian: Fukushima Daiichi radiation levels highest since 2011 https://www.google.c...e-2011-meltdown
...lol
Anyways, the sievert count is at 530. Expose to just 4 will kill 50% of human beings.
My geiger counter is still in the normal range for Victoria, however should things take a turn for the worst I will be selling potassium iodide at 7000% markup PM me.
How your geiger On the Level?

Glad got out of Tokyo when did. From a few years back: "If Tokyo need to be evacuated, I fear entire nation of Japan will be paralyzed by chaos, for quite long time." (Naoto Kan, The Prime-minister of Japan.) 00:30 largest city in the world they might wait until the last minute .
In this very thread we had people outright denying the severity of the Fukushima meltdown, saying everything was completely under control and nuclear fallout was no threat to anything other than the immediate area around the plant ...because the media said so.
Meanwhile experts from around the world were saying the situation was grave, but their warnings were labelled as nonsense. Today we'd call that fake news.

Are you referring to the false map that floated around the net being represented as the radiation intensity but turned out to be the wave intensity? I don't remember anyone saying there was no problem. In the alt-world all news is fake new. https://defensetech....eight/?mobile=1
The general attitude was that Fukushima was not a threat beyond its immediate environment and that the ocean is great at diluting nuclear fallout.
Ahhh the don't panic routine. How is the guy doing who drank the glass of water?
This is the honor I was talking about, would like to see our officials with the same level of commitment… it wasn't even ever meant to be used as drinking water.... lisa better be drinking the outfall water when the sewage treatment plant is complete.
Not sure about that guy, but this guy has leukemia:
......Otsuka Norikazu, a TV news caster was a good Japanese. He devoted himself for the national campaign of "Let's support north Japan by eating their food."
He was sent to the hospital for acute lymphatic leukemia on 11/7/2011.

It's a relatively small densely populated country not a lot of places to hide. Tokyo to Fukushima is about the same distance as Victoria to Campbell River.

Landscape urbanism: the sound of the suburbs
January 31, 2011 Paul Raven
As the human species becomes majority-urban, the planning and maintenance of cities becomes an increasingly important matter… and where importance goes, there too goes profound philosophical disagreement on best practice. Meet the Landscape Urbanists, the newest new school of architecture and civic planning [via BigThink]:
The landscape urbanist vision propounded by Waldheim and his allies comes down to two central insights. The first is that American cities in the 21st century are not like American cities from the 19th century, and should not be expected to function the same way. The second is that the best way for urban designers to protect the environment is to prioritize the natural landscape. Design should accommodate the waterways and the wildlife that were there before you arrived; it should preserve the rainfall instead of shunting it into sewers, and perhaps use it to irrigate nearby vegetation.
Taken together, those two positions add up to a vision of city planning that doesn't put a priority on city life over suburban living; it focuses instead on resource protection, the creative use of natural infrastructure, and so-called systems thinking — that is, exactly what landscape architects are trained to do. There are, as yet, few examples of the ideas put into practice: Supporters tend to point to projects still under construction, like the park being built on top of a landfill in Staten Island, N.Y. But Waldheim has said that his program is "specifically" and "explicitly" meant to dislodge the New Urbanists from their perch in the American planning world.
Proponents of the New Urbanism have not been taking the accusations of obsolescence sitting down. In a widely circulated November essay on the website of Metropolis magazine, Duany mockingly cast the rise of landscape urbanism at Harvard as a "classic Latin American-style…coup." His fellow New Urbanists have weighed in with more substantive critiques that have been equally harsh. One planning professor in Arizona attacked the landscape urbanists for caring more about nature than humans; on the planning website Planetizen, the Portland, Ore.-based urban design theorist Michael Mehaffy published an indictment of landscape urbanism called "Sprawl in a Pretty Green Dress?"
The underlying argument between the groups goes beyond the relative merits of density, or the question of whether you should start a planning project with the buildings or with the watershed. It's an argument about whether human beings should adapt to the conditions in which they find themselves, or try to change them. Is sprawl inevitable, or isn't it? At what point does it make sense to come to terms with it and try to find pragmatic, incremental solutions that don't rely on any paradigmatic cultural shift?
This is one of those moments where I find myself entertaining the idea of immersing myself in an entirely new academic discipline; I'm in no way qualified to take a side on that argument at this point, but its importance to the near future is blindingly obvious, and I'm a sucker for big questions waiting on an answer.

Daixy on: Gordon Brown, GET A PA ALREADY!!!
I often call this man the UK's George W. Bush. It's been my private joke for years, calling them both G.B., watching as they both gaff on the international stage. I've always wondered who his PR people were and if he had a personal assistant to remind him to remove his napkin when stepping out from the local delli. Well this week, I think I got my answer.
See, Gordie allowed himself to be hooked up to a radio mic. He spoke to a supporter of his party, who asked him what he was going to do about all the foreigners in their part of the world. Gordie, after the interview, then turned to his peeps when he got into his car and made a comment about the woman being rather bigoted.Uh oh, did you forget about your mic Gordie?!!!
Big mistake Gordie! You don't make swipes at the people on your side. Now, if he'd had someone like me on his team, knowing how loose his jaw muscles are, they could have turned off the mic real quick, or hit him on the head; whichever would have prevented him from oh so squarely stuffing his foot in his mouth.
Now, the conservatives are having a field day, and I have something to laugh about. I'll be saying a little prayer for the big man and hoping he can avoid such mistakes in the future. I doubt his campaign can handle anymore surprises.


Black men and women have built practically every musical tradition in the West: jazz, blues, rock and roll, funk. But when it comes to classical music, both onstage and in the crowd, they're few and far between.
Probing the question of why this is inevitably leads to the odds-defying stories of those black talents who do make their way into the great music halls.
Take Roy Eaton. Eaton grew up in Sugar Hill, New York in the 1930s, a once-black neighborhood famous for producing a dizzying number of artists, musicians and actors. Eaton eventually rose to the ranks of his fellow alumni, but he did so without half a finger, a result of gangrene brought on by hospital negligence.
Now a white-haired pianist and motivational speaker, Eaton recounted this story in the WQXR studio in New York City last night, as part of a series celebrating the 150th year of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The odds, already stacked against him as a black man in early 20th century America, only got worse: while playing a game inspired by the many summonses being pushed under the doors of his apartment building, demanding evictions, three-year-old Eaton wound up with a jammed finger.
He was shuttled to the closest place for help, a disinterested "private white hospital," where his injury worsened, he told co-hosts Terrance McKnight and Helga Davis. He eventually lost the upper half of his index finger — his money-maker, one might call it, in hindsight.

Free Yellow Wallpaper Essays - Schizophrenia in The Yellow Wallpaper
Schizophrenia in The Yellow Wallpaper
Throughout history people have always seemed to follow what notions that were considered "cool". Though I doubt that "cool" was the word used to describe these notions they were still there in some form or another. One of the greatest farces ever committed in the name of these popular perceptions was medicine. At that time, medicine that was on the cutting edge seem to have always involved some sort of noxious chemical or a typically atrocious diet. Not to mention the fact that ninety-nine percent of the doctors were men. Women's notions were immediately discounted on the bases of the preconception that women were not meant for such enlightened thoughts. No, men really knew what was best and women were meant to stand by what their husbands' said. This brings one particular husband to mind and how he was responsible for his wife going completely and utterly insane. His name is John and he is the husband to a woman who was diagnosed with a temporary nervous depression, meaning a slight hysterical tendency.
Through John's interference he turned what was considered a minor case of a chemical imbalance into to full blown schizophrenia. During the turn of the century, which is when this story took place, what scientists knew of the human mind wouldn't fill the inside of a matchbook. This was for certain the case when it was a woman who was the patient. If there was any deviation in the accepted behavior of a woman as deemed by society, the woman was considered hysterical. When dealing with these patients, instead of seriously considering the consequences of their actions, they went along with obscenely stupid notions on how to deal with problems of the mind.
The conventional course of action to take in the narrator's case was the one of nothing. I mean literally, nothing. For the narrator was considered hysterical and slightly depressed and there was only one course of action for such symptoms. That was one of complete rest. In those days the rest cure was very popular. It involved being set apart from anything that might have even the remotest possibility of stress in it. The main character of The Yellow Wallpaper was indeed set apart from all activity as directed by her husband. John dutifully followed the set path, not questioning any of the accepted methods.
Feminism In Freud's The Myth Of The Vaginal Orgasm
It was interesting to discover that medical professionals, such as Dr. Seymour Fisher, went to extensive means to disprove the ideology that blamed women's lack of sexual pleasure on their psychology. In this way, the lecture fearlessly pinned the blame for women's dissatisfaction on the failure of men to adequately satisfy their partners, a move that seems to border closely on taboo. For, accepting that "frigidity" is a man-made situation dismisses the ridiculous psychological reasons for the "condition" that were pushed by Freud and his gang of worshippers. Even more, it allowed for consideration of the legitimate issues endured by females. For example, there were women who had "deep cuts or tears" in their ligaments but, thanks to Freud, were conditioned to believe that they weren't enjoying sex because of some sort of mental issue.
Essay on Condemnation of a Patriarchal Society in Yellow Wallpaper
The insanity is rooted in the narrator's inability to fall easily into that mould. Gilman's descriptions of the wallpaper are really eloquent delineations of the restrictions and constraints placed upon women. In short, the wallpaper is what all proper women are supposed to be; the narrator is one woman who is unable to adapt and, hence, she becomes a lunatic. The narrator's first description of the wallpaper puts forth most plainly what the nature of women is believed to be: "dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they . .
Mental Depression In The Yellow Wallpaper, By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The treatment was offered to the author of this short story and she explains her opinion by publishing "The Yellow Wallpaper" telling the story from the narrator's point of view, which is a woman trapped within herself resulting from the treatment. This short story had an affect on medical history because of the result she believed would come from the treatment was not a result many doctors would like to see. Women during the nineteenth century were not what they are today in society. Most were looked down upon and not taken seriously. In "The Yellow Wallpaper," the narrator is a woman who is viewed as crazy to the public because of how she acts.
Though hysteria became a focal point of study by physicians throughout the world. Symptoms included fainting, vomiting, choking, sobbing, paralysis, and temperamental fits. Reflecting the belief that women were prone to hysteria because they were less rational and stable than men. Dr. Edward Tilt, in a typical Victorian textbook definition, wrote: "mutability is a characteristic of hysteria, because it is characteristic of women" (Showalter, p. 129). As more studies were conducted, however, some doctors began to link hysteria with restricted activity and sexual ... ... middle of paper ... ...ut you." Her response is "I don't weigh a bit more." She proves him wrong and he avoids the response by saying "But now let's improve the shining hours by going to sleep, and talk in the morning." She overlooks his true intentions and focuses back on the wallpaper.
Removing Wallpaper Reveals Wall in "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
By the end of her story, you realize that nothing this narrator is writing is reliable; because all the people around her notice her mental illness, her stories is as unstable as she is, and eventually she completely looses all grasp on reality. The people surrounding the narrator all seem to agree she is suffering from some form of insanity that manifests itself in delusions, while she never references one character who thinks she is sound. She admits early on her husband John is "John is practical in the extreme[. ]"(Schwiebert 224). This makes him an extremely credible witness to what is going on.
The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
"John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage." It was customary for men to assume that their gender knew what, when, how, and why to live. John, the narrator's husband, is a prominent doctor, and both he and his wife's words and actions reflect this stereotype of stature and authority. The aforementioned quote demonstrates the belittling of the narrator by her husband, and his lack of concern for her thoughts and opinion. The narrator's husband, John, does not believe that she is sick, while she is really suffering from severe depression.
What Is The Theme Of The Yellow Wallpaper
According to O'Connor-Salomon, Charlotte Perkins life was plagued with psychological issues that might have originated before her first marriage (251). O'Connor-Salomon narrates that Weir Mitchell could not conclusively treat Charlotte's mental illness. Weir Mitchell was a famous shrink recognized for his work in hysteria and mentioned in "The Yellow Wallpaper" as the doctor that her husband threatens to take her to see if her condition did not improve. In the analysis of Charlotte Perkins work and previous writings, O'Connor-Salomon finds out that Charlotte considers herself a man and has no desire for marriage unless she is the one marrying the man. Just like the narrator in the story, Charlotte Perkins marries a doctor and suffers from mental illness.
Depression in Marriage
This traditional idea has made this woman afraid to stand up for herself. At the end of the story, the depression has made this woman become mentally insane and respect is one major theme of this story. Different levels of education in a marriage will give women a lot of pressures. In Gilman's story, John controls his wife just by being a doctor. "If a physician of high standing and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression [...]" (154).
Feminism And Individuality In The Yellow Wallpaper, By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
And what can one do? If a physician of high standing, and one's own When thought about there could be different ways that it was interpreted, but I think that the woman was actually crazy. There is too much textual evidence to deny that the woman was really crazy. The way that Gilman used the wallpaper, such a minuscule item, shows that the woman was indeed crazy and how her obsession with it has nothing to do with the actually wallpaper itself, just the woman.
Gender Role In The Yellow Wall, By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
It also show's how these assigned roles can trap men and women from progressing. In this short story we have a female narrator and the focus is on her condition, hysteria, and how she slowly but surely losses grips to reality, a psychic suicide, and how her husband John a medical physician is misunderstanding his wife's condition and the use of his inappropriate treatment of confining her to a room and to rest. John can be thought as being the coherent thinker, while the female narrator can be thought of as a pushover without questioning him. This sets the tone of the story because it shows us who is in control and who is the weaker of the two. We see this in the beginning of the story when she states, "If a physician of high standing and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression-a slight hysterical tendency- what is one to do?" (Gilman 792).

Search is an integral component of any eCommerce project. The more efficient it is, the better seller's business is doing. Search significance is proven by a huge success of Google – a company that provides relevant answers for user requests. Today we will examine technical features of Prestashop search and share details, available for average users.
Back Office -> Preferences -> Search part is configured by users and provides opportunities for search to be adjusted flexibly.
On the picture above, the system performance will be high in any case since the number of products in the directory is small. But there are projects, in which the directory is very large and among the variety of products customers need to find the one that matches their request precisely.
Indexed products parameter indicates the amount of products from the catalog that are available. There are two links: Add missing products to index and Re-build entire index. The former activates the process of indexation, upon completion of which index includes products that were absent for some reason. The latter clears search_index and search_word tables and sets the «indexed» flag for all items in the product table to zero. Then a complete re-indexation occurs. It's desirable to configure a cron job for re-indexation at the time when site traffic is low and the server load is minimal. The process of re-indexation is very resource-intensive as far as each non-indexed product is processed one by one, language by language, although the products are processed 50 by 50 in order to avoid overloading MySQL.
Ajax search allows displaying search results "on the fly", i.e. when the user enters a search query, which exceeds the Minimum word length value, the server receives the request and search results are shown in a dropdown menu. Blacklisted words help adding words to be extracted from (Seacrh :: sanitize ($ string, $ id_lang, $ indexation = false)), for instance, prepositions or obscenities. This will reduce the weight of the table with indexed words.
Instant search derives results not to the dropdown list, but displays them "on the fly" in the directory.
Weight section allows setting priorities for search requests, i.e. items with search words in the Reference field will appear higher than products, containing the same word in the Description field.
This is the required minimum for users to know. Now we will take a closer look at the technical side of search and indexation. The static function Search :: indexation ($ full = false, $ id_product = false) is responsible for the process of indexation and $weightArray is in charge of index fields and search priorities. Indexation is running through necessary fields in different tables and picks out the data. Then each sentence is divided into words, words from the Blacklist and those less than Minimum word length are removed and data is saved to search_word table. The image below introduces the result of indexation of seven products, reflected in 1551 in the search_word table!
The search_word table stores indexed keywords for each language. They are connected through the id_word field with the search_index table, where their priorities and products they are related to are defined.
If you need to insert another field to the index, it should be brought to the $weightArray and added to the SQL request. The code below adds location field to the index field.
The Search :: find ($ id_lang, $ expr, $ pageNumber = 1, $ pageSize = 1, $ orderBy = 'position', $ orderWay = 'desc', $ ajax = false, $ useCookie = true) function performs the search. It analyzes the search request, removing characters less than Minimum word length, and finally performs the search. It should be noted that Ajax and standard search are done by different SQL requests.
Expect to read about changing Prestashop standard search to sphinx soon.
This is good, but the search function is entirely about products. What about when a customers wants to search something from CMS pages?
Hi, i have 260 000 products, and the search index can't search everything (just 20 000) do you have any idea to force this ?
Nice article. What about if we would like to get results just from 1 category? Could Prestashop do that?
Prestashop cannot do that as there is no such thing as default advanced search, which would specify such patameters.
There is no standard possibility, but you can override Search :: indexation method so that the id_product field could get in the index as well.
Ok, can you guide me how to do so??
Hi Alex, thanks for your nice article.
You know how I can set up the prestashop search engine to search only in the title of the product?
You need to override 2 functions of the class Search: getProductsToIndex and indexation.
In the method, which is directly responsible for indexing, you need to remove tags and features from the index. As for the attributes – I would recommend to leave them.
After that, you need to reindex.
Alex, we're wanting to be able to search by supplier name also. To include supplier name as you did with the location field (from your previous post) would you go about that same premise to be able to search on supplier name (overriding Search: getProductsToIndex and indexation) ? Thanks.
Thanks for this very usefull post.
My site is french and russian. Every product as title and attributes in french (or latin transcript) and russian (cyrillic).
How could it be possible to "liberate" the searched fields from the current FO language ?
I have a question about the search function in Prestashop.
If i have a product code of GBH26VLI how can I have prestashop find it also by variations of the code, liek GBH 26, GBH 26VLI etc without adding tags??
Sorry for the late response. In a few days I will post an article and will attach a module to include 'supplier name' into search.
As a workaround, you can set customize logic: if your search is used only to search for code it is possible, for example, to remove all spaces. Or to create one additional field where users shall enter their code and to remove spaces there.
Very nice article!!! Thank you.
If I search "STAR – 123", a result is found but if I search "STAR-123" removing the spaces, no result. Similary, if I search ""STAR123" removing the dash and spaces, no result again. Then if we try "S- TAR – 123" adding a new dash and space, again, no result.
But many customers make their searches by entering what they remember. They don't pay attention to punctuation.
Why i have indexed products 1138/1139… where is the other product? is a frequently bug or what happens?
There are still no products after reindexation? The problem may be that products are saved wrongly.
Hey, thanks for the article – very informative! If I understand this correctly, you cannot limit search to single specific field (that the user chooses) with the default setup. So, if one were to allow the visitor to search in only name or only short description – can't I just search the product table directly? Or does the pair of index table improve search performance in addition to implementing the weight system?
Yes, search sadly operates with the whole index table no matter what you search for – for instance, in names only. In order to search in only name the search module should be modified substantially. Indexation as well as search engine logic itself should be changed.
hello alex, hope you are great, my question is how do i hide or eliminate the value "search"? i don´t want to show "search" in the button submit.
Is writing a post about using sphinx search whith prestashop is still planned ?
Thank you, Antoine. This is quite an interesting topic, however, unfortunately, I have no experience with sphinx yet. But as soon as get it I will be glad to share it with the community.
i'm working from 2 weeks with presta 1.6 coming from older versions.
I think is good but i got a problem.
I'm preparing a site to sell toner and inkjet cartridges.
I index all the products and i got no error.
It works in "like" mode but it seems that it wants a complete word. This is a big problem becaouse I can't be sure about the customer will search for.
look for sql request in Search::find() method and you'll see that request looks like LIKE '2612%', but you need change it to LIKE '%2612%'.
Do you know if it's possible to show results according to every category selected in the product?
Now it shows only products for their "default category" but not for all the categories selected.
For example I have a subcategory called "mamparas abatibles" with 2 products but if I write "mamparas abatibles" in the search box doesnt show any result because these two products have another "default category".
In addition, is there a module to search the CMS pages? Thanks!

Home News OnePlus 'Clover' with Snapdragon 460, 720p Display May Launch Around $200
OnePlus 'Clover' with Snapdragon 460, 720p Display May Launch Around $200

Earlier this week, there were rumors suggesting that OnePlus is working on an entry-level phone with Snapdragon 460 chipset. A new report on Android Central has corroborated the rumors along with a few specifics about the handset.
According to the report citing an insider source, OnePlus' budget phone with Snapdragon 460 will launch soon globally, including the U.S. The device in question is codenamed 'Clover'. It is said to sport a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 1560 x 720 pixel resolution.
Going by the report, the device will have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The storage may be expandable with a microSD card slot. Moreover, it is likely to feature a capacitive rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
In terms of optics, the OnePlus Clover phone is likely to feature a triple rear camera setup with a primary 13MP camera with f/2.2 aperture, accompanied by two other 2MP sensors with f/2.4 apertures respectively. Presumably, those two lenses are macro camera and depth sensor.
The device is rumored to equip a massive 6000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. The phone may last up to two days on a single charge, which is reasonable given the 720p display.
One notable addition is the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack. If this phone launches, it would be the first OnePlus phone after OnePlus 6 to feature the convenient headphone jack. While most of us expected it on the OnePlus Nord, it is good to see that OnePlus is considering adding it in this phone.
Coming to the pricing, the report mentions that OnePlus will launch this phone "in the vicinity of $200". That roughly translates to Rs.15,000 and will be the cheapest OnePlus phone. With all that said, do keep in mind that OnePlus has not officially confirmed these details yet. Hence, we would recommend taking this with a pinch of salt.

The Missionary's Wife, Tim Jeal
I am almost ashamed to admit that this paperback novel had been in my TBR (to be read) pile for so long it had gathered more than dust, it had become atrophied to the point where the pages were crumbling, before I got around to reading it. I paid the princely sum of 50 cents for it in a charity shop and spotted it only because I am familiar with Tim Jeal's other works on Africa, including his epic biographies of Livingstone and Stanley, but I hadn't been aware he had written novels prior to gaining real success with his non-fiction.
There is a single bland review of the novel on Amazon and a dismissive one-line opinion on Goodreads. This seems to indicate that few people have read the novel, or at least not recently. (I never fully trust reviews on Goodreads which for me is a bit like Wikipedia and should be treated with a certain amount of caution and only used as a starting point for your own discovery.)
This novel was written and published during the 1990s when African colonial history was undergoing a revisionist process to give a more balanced account of the points of view of the indigenous inhabitants, and rightly so. Even authors of adventure fiction were increasingly aware that earlier imperious or gung-ho tales of Empire derring-do had to be tempered to give Africans a more enlightened role to match the expectations of the modern reader. But despite this, there were still very few novels featuring a woman in a leading role in what continues to be the most macho of all historical novel environments.
The missionary wife's is Clara. Jilted in love by a spineless gent, she rediscovers religion when she is inspired by Robert Haslam, a missionary giving lectures while on leave in Britain. Much older than her, the widowed Robert's charisma and unswerving belief in his cause and duty draws Clara in. Despite her father's vehement objections at the prospect of losing his only daughter to the Dark Continent, Clara marries Robert shortly before he returns to his remote mission in Rhodesia but he will not let Clara join him until he is sure that the chief of the local Venda tribe, Mponda, has become a Christian. Clara is forced to kick her heels until the call finally comes for her to travel. On her long and arduous journey, she meets the attractive young soldier, Captain Francis Vaughan, who is on a hunting expedition with the American scout, Heywood Fynn. It is perhaps inevitable that the love-starved Clara will find Francis attractive, but she does not let go of her moral principles and puts him out of her mind as she embarks on life at the mission with her husband.
However, when she arrives it seems Robert has deceived her and things are far from certain. Mponda has not yet committed himself to becoming a Christian. The chief vacillates, knowing that whatever he does there will be friction and animosity created between his son and the witchdoctor whose daughter is one of Mponda's wives and who must be put aside for just one wife once he is converted. With the encroachment of "civilisation" and the indigenous population's growing hatred of the white invaders, rebellion looms on the horizon.
The machinations of life at the mission and in the village are intense and at times slow up the narrative by becoming a little too long-winded and complicated. Clara struggles to deal with Robert's uncompromising commitment while she bears unhappy witness to the fracturing of culture that Christianity will inevitably bring to the community. And later, when Francis and Fynn return leading a patrol to flush out rebelling Africans, Clara has reawakened desire for Francis to add to her troubles. Meanwhile in his military role, Francis himself has other trying moral and ethical decisions to make that will affect his whole future.
This is a surprisingly complex book. Despite its outward appearance, including the cover blurb from The Guardian ... "look forward to sleepless nights with this book clamped in your sweaty palms" ... it is not a lightweight romantic adventure novel but delves into uncomfortable truths about Christianity colliding with paganism, the pros and cons of colonialism, about the brutality faced by men at war, and the nature of love in all its many facets.
I would have liked a few author notes at the conclusion as to whether any of the characters were real or were inspired by those who were. For anyone who knows something of Rhodesian history, certain episodes or scenes may seem familiar.
This drawing found online reflects some of the uncomfortable truths that are included in the novel:
The American Fynn has much in common with the famous scout, Frederick Russell Burnham. And although I haven't read it right through, with the tiny settlement of Belingwe featured in the novel, some elements of this book on the Matabele Rebellion may have been used.
The ending is a little predictable with some indication that things weren't quite concluded and a sequel may have been intended. I would have liked to know how Clara coped with her later life. I couldn't imagine her settling long for dull domesticity in England after the challenges of the life she once led in Africa.

Hey, that's nice to hear you watched this movie and felt the same. There's an english audio track or just subtitles?
You definitely would also like "True Love Ways" and "Sibylle".

Hey Mr. Gilgenbach,
you really should watch "Come and See". It's not a horror movie, but one of the best anti-war dramas that really shows the horror of war and how it affects people. Here is a short review:

There's a new psychological horror movie masterpiece: "The Eyes Of My Mother"
by Nishioka
If you guys like dystopian sci-fi, I can definitely recommend What Happened to Monday. The accent is on the story, so don't expect flashy CGI.
"Darling" by Mickey Keating is a brillant horror movie.
Another psychological horror movie "anime" recommendation from Japan, the country where also Silent Hill was born!
Listen the creepy soundtrack, which reminds me of Neverending Nightmares:

SUSPIRIA (2018) is phenomenal!!!
More than just a horror movie. It's a piece of art combined with a long, complex and intelligent storytelling. Not a single dull jumpscare! This is a horror drama at finest!

Start-Ups, Silicon Valley just debuted on Bravo recently, but that doesn't mean Zuckerberg Media isn't already setting its sights on a new subject — Silicon Alley. According to The Wall Street Journal, producer Randi Zuckerberg now plans to aim her reality-TV wand at the technorati scene in New York.
Why the shift? Seems Silicon Valley — that hotbed of up-and-comers and their tech innovations — is actually not so rife with drama on a day-to-day basis… that is, unless you like watching people in all their keyboard-slaying, white-board flow-charting glory. That's not to say the production company and network didn't do everything they could to try and jazz things up, like run promos with bathing suit–clad babes, but the opening numbers tell the tale: Just 634,000 viewers tuned in for the premiere episode.
Enter The City That Never Sleeps. Now here's a place that has drama in its DNA. Of course it does; it's the mother ship for actresses, dancers, finance jockeys, entrepreneurs and investment wizards, fer cryin' out loud. And it would seem like a no-brainer, if not for the timing — this news comes on the heels of the city's devastation from Hurricane Sandy. Will Start-Ups tackle the serious topic or ignore it, opting for the boozy booty calls and bar brawls that reality TV usually favors? It's too early to tell.
Did you tune in to Start-Ups, Silicon Valley? And would you watch Start-Ups, I'll Take Manhattan (or whatever it will be called)? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Neuropeptide amidation: Cloning of a bifunctional α-amidating enzyme from Aplysia
Xuemo Fan, Sabine Spijker, David Benjamin G. Akalal, Gregg T. Nagle
Cellular Biology and Anatomy
One of the most common mechanisms of posttranslational modifications to generate biologically active (neuro)peptides is the process of peptide α-amidation. The only enzyme known to catalyze this important modification is peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM): a (bifunctional) zymogen, giving rise to a monooxygenase (PHM) and a lyase (PAL). The highly peptidergic central nervous system and endocrine system of the marine mollusk Aplysia has homologs of various mammalian peptide processing enzymes, including furin, Afurin2, prohormone convertase 1 (PC1), PC2, carboxypeptidase E (CPE) and CPD. Previously, it has been shown that the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia, which contains ~800 peptidergic bag cell neurons, contains the highest specific α-amidating activity. We have identified and cloned multiple overlapping central nervous system and bag cell cDNAs that encode a predicted 748-residue protein that is a member of the PAM family. The protein sequence contains the contiguous sequence of the catalytic domains of PHM and PAL, clearly demonstrating the existence of bifunctional Aplysia PAM, the first invertebrate PAM zymogen with an organization similar to that in vertebrates. None of the characterized clones encoded the so-called exon A domain between the PHM and PAL domains. Furthermore, in a specific search by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of RNA from multiple tissues we could only detect exon A-less transcripts. PAM expression was detected in the central nervous system, and in several endocrine and exocrine organs Aplysia PAM is a candidate prohormone processing enzyme that plays an important role in the processing of Aplysia prohormones in the secretory pathway.

Q: Debugger: How do I get "Mutex Owned" or "Mutex Free" info in a crash dump? I don't know what I'm not doing but I simply cannot get my own debugger to save the "Mutex Owned" or "Mutex Free" info for the application being debugged.
CDB works fine if I call it as follows:
  cdb -pn test.exe -c ".dump /f /ma /u test.dmp;.detach;q"

When I open the crash dump file in WinDbg and type the following commands, I see the Mutex Free or Mutex Owned states:
 0:001> !handle 0 f Mutant
Handle 7f4
  Type             Mutant
  Attributes       0
  GrantedAccess    0x1f0001:
         Delete,ReadControl,WriteDac,WriteOwner,Synch
         QueryState
  HandleCount      2
  PointerCount     4
  Name             \BaseNamedObjects\PAUL_HANG_MUTEX
  Object Specific Information
 Mutex is Owned  <--- THIS HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE

Below is my function - I had to comment out some of the MiniDumpWith options as it would not write the crash dump file at all unless I commented them out.
Anybody know why CDB can save the info when I use /ma and yet my own code cannot?
void WriteCrashDump( EXCEPTION_DEBUG_INFO *pExceptionInfo )
{
  CONTEXT c;

  memset( &c, 0, sizeof( c ) );

  GetThreadContext( hThread, &c );

  EXCEPTION_POINTERS ep;

  memset( &ep, 0, sizeof( ep ) );

  ep.ContextRecord   = &c;
  ep.ExceptionRecord = &pExceptionInfo->ExceptionRecord;

    MINIDUMP_EXCEPTION_INFORMATION minidump_exception;

  memset( &minidump_exception, 0, sizeof( minidump_exception ) );

    minidump_exception .ThreadId          = dwThreadId;
    minidump_exception.ExceptionPointers = &ep;
    minidump_exception.ClientPointers    = true;

  char txDumpPath[ MAX_PATH + 1 ];

  sprintf( txDumpPath, "%s.dmp", txProcess );

    HANDLE hFile = CreateFile( txDumpPath, GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL );

    if( hFile )
  {
    BOOL  fSuccess;

    SetLastError( 0L );

    int nDumpOptions =

    MiniDumpNormal
|    MiniDumpWithDataSegs
|    MiniDumpWithFullMemory
|    MiniDumpWithHandleData
|    MiniDumpFilterMemory
|    MiniDumpScanMemory
|    MiniDumpWithUnloadedModules
|    MiniDumpWithIndirectlyReferencedMemory
|    MiniDumpFilterModulePaths
|    MiniDumpWithProcessThreadData
|    MiniDumpWithPrivateReadWriteMemory
|    MiniDumpWithoutOptionalData
//|    MiniDumpWithFullMemoryInfo
//|    MiniDumpWithThreadInfo
//|    MiniDumpWithCodeSegs
//|    MiniDumpWithoutManagedState
    ;

    fSuccess = MiniDumpWriteDump( hProcess,
                                  dwProcessId,
                                  hFile,
                                  (MINIDUMP_TYPE) nDumpOptions,
                                  &minidump_exception,
                                  NULL,
                                  NULL );

    DWORD dwErr = GetLastError();

    if( ! fSuccess )
            printf( "MiniDumpWriteDump -FAILED (LastError:%u)\n", dwErr );

        CloseHandle( hFile );
    }
}

A: Does it not include the mutex information even with flag MiniDumpWithHandleData, also it is possibly failing because some of the flags may not be compatible with the version of DebugHlp.dll you are calling against. See MINIDUMP_TYPE enumeration

What does a Film Director Do?
Article submitted by Herb Kimble.
There are many moving parts that come together to create a movie. The film industry can seem complicated, mysterious, and hectic, but there is a loose structure to the madness. By understanding each role in greater detail, you can begin to better grasp how the industry functions.
You have likely heard the term "film director" before, but you might not fully know what the role entails.
Leading the Vision
The film director has a number of different responsibilities, but the overarching goal of the director is to control the artistic and dramatic characteristics of the movie. This could be done in a number of ways, such as laying out the key visual elements, helping the technical crew, and leading the actors on set. Before filming even begins, the film director is also in charge of designing the set and finding the right actors for the script.
Being able to go from an idea to a fully finished film is no easy task. Throughout the creation process, the director needs to be able to bring the script to life and sort out creative differences, all while working within the film's budget.
Communicating Clearly
One of the biggest tasks for a film director is to communicate clearly. When you are working with several people to build an artistic project, it is easy to see just how crucial effective communication is. When putting the creative elements together and coordinating with others, the director needs to be able to think how certain decisions will impact the overall quality of the film.

Narrow-bandwidth television (NBTV) is a type of television designed to fit into a channel narrower than the standard bandwidth used for official television standards.

The three predominant worldwide broadcast television standards use either 6 MHz wide channels (as in the Americas and Japan, as ATSC and ISDB-T both use those standards) or 8 MHz (as in most of Europe with DVB-T). Narrow-bandwidth television refers to any method that reduces the bandwidth below that threshold. (These techniques are frequently used in traditional television to allow for multiple digital subchannels on the same bandwidth, but this is not true narrow-bandwidth as the standards do not allow for it, and the extra bandwidth in these cases is usually transferred to another channel.)

Design

There are three ways to reduce the bandwidth of a video signal: reduce the scan rate, reduce the image size, and/or (with digital television) use heavier compression.  When the scan rate is reduced, this is referred to as slow-scan TV or, in the most extreme cases when the scan rate is too slow to simulate motion, freeze frame television. With reduced image sizes, this is referred to as low-definition television. In the most extreme cases, the number of lines in an image may be reduced to just a few dozen, and bandwidth reduced to a few tens of kilohertz, within the bandwidth of an amateur radio voice channel. Most narrow-bandwidth TV nowadays uses computers and other electronic systems.

Mechanical TV standards
The earliest mechanical television systems often used narrow channels for sending moving images.  Often, the images were only a few dozen lines in size.

Ein Rundschreiben (auch Rundbrief, Umlaufschreiben, Zirkularschreiben, oder auch einfach nur Zirkular; österreichisch "Kurrende") ist ein Schriftstück, das über Kommunikationssysteme (etwa Briefe durch die Post) in mehrfacher Kopie an mehr als einen Empfänger versandt wird. Damit kann gleichzeitig einer Gruppe von Empfängern dieselbe Information zugesandt werden. Pendant in der Nachrichtentechnik ist das Rundsenden.

Arten
Moderne Formen des Rundschreibens in der Kommunikation über das Internet sind per E-Mail – insbesondere über Mailinglisten – versendete Rundmails und elektronische Newsletter. Bedeutende päpstliche Rundschreiben sind die Enzykliken.

Deutschland
Im öffentlichen Sektor sind Ministerien oder Behörden Absender von Rundschreiben. Diese stellen einen Verwaltungsakt in Form einer Sammelverfügung gemäß  VwVfG dar, wenn hiermit eine hoheitliche Maßnahme zur Regelung eines Einzelfalls mit unmittelbarer Rechtswirkung nach außen getroffen wird wie bei den Rundschreiben der BaFin an Kreditinstitute oder Versicherer.

Österreich
Rundschreiben von Hoheitsträgern können je nach Inhalt der Hoheitsverwaltung oder Privatwirtschaftsverwaltung zugeordnet werden. Entscheidend ist die Verbindung zu einer hoheitlichen oder privatwirtschaftlichen Handlung oder Anordnung etc. darin, ähnlich wie bei Durchführungserlässen, Weisungen oder publizierten Broschüren.

Lyon are in a tricky situation now. The team will face Boulogne at away, when the opponent is all for winning at home, as the hosts couldn't win a single time for three home matches in a row. Having no wins at all made Boulogne be angry, as they feel down to the 7th position in the table, being now five points from the transfer zone. Lyon aren't in a good shape now too, the guests have won once for five recent matches, that's why we bet on home or draw.
On this page you will find the prediction for the FOOTBALL match of Boulogne vs Lyon of the National, France. In this personally prepared preview we use h2h stories, over/under stats, Boulogne - Lyon match facts and team news. For more accurate analysis we use any additional information like injuries, suspensions or weather forecasts. On BetFAQ.com website we provide information for helping you make your own decision regarding a bet on this event.

These 2 Simple Rules Will Ensure Your Transparency Policy Is Helpful (Instead of Harmful)
Here's how to keep open communication productive.
By Emma BrudnerDirector of People Operations, Lola.com@emmajs24
Several years ago at an HR conference, I heard a metaphor that illustrated the argument for transparency perfectly, and has stuck with me ever since. The speaker said telling employees to do their jobs without giving them the larger strategic context is like asking them to put together a puzzle without showing them the picture on the box: frustrating, inefficient, and purposeless. But give them the "box top" and voila, both morale and results improve.
However, when it comes to company culture, it's all situational -- and there are certain instances where transparency is actually dangerous instead of inspiring.
Here are my two simple rules of thumb for determining whether transparency will be constructive in a given scenario.
1. Are there privacy considerations?
In order for people to feel safe at work -- and safety is a precursor to both job effectiveness and satisfaction -- they need to have an expectation of privacy.
There's some information where the need for privacy is obvious, such as when it's about salary or status in a protected class. But I don't think it hurts to err on the side of privacy with any personal information, no matter how seemingly innocuous. After all, if it's not my information, it's not my call.
When in doubt, ask an employee what they would be comfortable sharing or having shared on their behalf, and what they would prefer to have kept private -- and respect their wishes without asking for justification.
Privacy is also a factor at the company level, especially concerning legal issues or in situations where sensitive information leaks could have a negative impact. It's generally best to keep mum when keeping compliant or afloat is at stake.
2. Is more information going to be distracting and/or distressing?
Going back to the puzzle metaphor, transparency is helpful when it empowers people to do their jobs better and understand what they're driving toward. But sometimes senior leadership doesn't have the full picture on the "box top" mapped out yet. What then?
You don't have to have your strategy 100 percent baked in order to be transparent about it along the way. However, you should think twice before sharing partial information if you anticipate it's going to be a distraction or cause distress.
In terms of distraction, ask yourself:
Can people do anything productive with this information today or in the near-term (one-three months)?
Will this context help them be better at their jobs today or in the near-term?
If the answer to both questions is no, it might be better to hold off communication until you can answer "yes" to at least one.
In terms of distress, tread lightly before being transparent about anything that will cause a strong emotional reaction. For example, maybe you know layoffs are ahead, or that raises aren't happening this year. In these situations, communication should only come when the decision is final, to avoid unnecessary dread (and with that said, leadership should finalize the decision ASAP, so people aren't kept in the dark). The kindest thing to do is communicate clearly and thoughtfully, and you can't achieve this until all the loose ends have been tied.
The trend toward transparency at work isn't going away anytime soon. But if transparency still feels impractical or even scary, think of that box top. Are you actually causing more harm than good by keeping it to yourself? Try flipping it over, and see what happens to the puzzle -- you might just be pleasantly surprised.
