Q: How to get metadata PDF file produced by Camscanner using laravel? I have many PDF files that created from various app pdfcreator.I'm trying to extract PDF metadata that related with file created time in Laravel. I got failed when extracted from PDF file produced by CamScanner. Here is my code and file screenshot:
$path = "../temp/";
$files = File::allFiles($path);
dd($files)
?>

FileName	 Created Time	 Modif Time

@foreach($files as $file)

    {{$file->getBasename()}}
    {{date("F d Y H:i:s.", $file->getCTime())}}
    {{date("F d Y H:i:s.", $file->getMTime())}}

@endforeach

This is the original File that created with Camscanner

Trying with dd function but get false result as shown below:

Thanks you

We live in a small beach community where the unemployment rate is said to be over 50%. The infant mortality (29.6) rate is a higher than the national average and many Haitians call this area home too. The Haitian population has exploded here since the earth quakes. There is lots of farm land that is under utilized.
We would like to know more about how we can start a Moringa farm here.
I am working on a presentation to my botanical club, I can find a great deal of anecdotical and testimonials about Moringa but not a great deal of technical and research information. Where can I find technical information about Moringa?

The following article by Jon Tevlin has been published in the August 10, 2014 issue of the StarTribune.
Ryan Companies proposes a $400 million redevelopment of five blocks now dominated by surface parking lots between the downtown central business district and the new Vikings stadium.
In June, the Trust for Public Land declared that Minneapolis and the Twin Cities had the best public parks in the country. Better than New York. Better than Boston. Better than Sacramento, Calif.
Then, earlier this week, the Metropolitan Council said the metro's parks attracted 47 million visitors in 2013, an increase of 3 percent from the previous year. We love our parks.
Finally, on Wednesday, the Minneapolis Park Board got together to decide whether they wanted to take on the city's newest and perhaps most visible park project, a sweet piece of land smack dab in downtown, adjacent to the new Vikings stadium and the eventual towers for Wells Fargo.
It could be the crown jewel of parks, an oasis between the river and Loring Park.
The Park Board responded: "It ain't a park, and it certainly isn't public," said Commissioner Anita Tabb in rejecting control of the space.
I can't really blame them. The idea for what's now called "the Yard" was developed backward, a nibble of dessert after the public was force fed the cost of the stadium first.
The Park Board is already financially pinched, and it is rightly suspicious of having to foot the bill for what could be an expensive little bauble that will mostly serve those attending sporting events or corporate shindigs.
The afternoon before the Park Board meeting, I talked to David C. Smith for some historical perspective on the Yard. He wrote a book on the Minneapolis park system for the Foundation for Minneapolis Parks in 2007.
The way the Yard is developing, it could be a disaster for downtown and the city, Smith warns.
The biggest land-use mistakes in the city's history, Smith said, came from trying to fashion parks to be something other than what parks are supposed to be: places to visit, relax and enjoy recreation or entertainment.
"There has to be a reason for people to go there," Smith said in an interview. Smith cited the High Line park in New York and Chicago's Millennium Park as examples of successful urban parks.
The fact that the park sits adjacent to another huge attraction, the Art Institute of Chicago, doesn't hurt.
The constraints put on the land use by the Vikings and Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which would tie up the park for up to 80 prime days per year, "make it impossible for landscape architects. How do you design a space that has to be knockdown able" for corporate tents during events?
One was the Gateway, in 1913, at the then-junction of Hennepin and Nicollet Avenues. It was created to be a gateway from the railroad station into downtown, not as a park that would naturally draw people to it.
Well, except lumbermen, "the unemployed, indigent and inebriated," Smith wrote. He's quick to point out he's all for facilities for homeless people, but argues a failed park is not the way to accomplish that.
The Park Board ended up spending more than 5 percent of its entire budget on the Gateway, mostly for police and cleanup. Sound like a blueprint for the Yard?
Even park pioneer Charles Loring predicted Gateway Park would fail, and it did. But that didn't stop the city from pushing another downtown green space, Pioneer Square, to act as a sort of decorative attachment to the post office.
By 1953, Smith said, cleaning crews picked up 70 bushels of empty wine and whiskey bottles from Gateway, and 53 bushels from Pioneer Square. "Further proof that you can't just plop green space down in a city and expect it to serve some vague 'beautifying' or 'park' purpose — even with some dressing up," Smith writes.
Smith was hoping the Park Board would take on the Yard (which he thinks being adjacent to the jail makes people think of a prison yard) because "they've done a pretty good job for 130 years," but also because there would be some elected accountability.
"I wish those foundations and wealthy individuals would step up and give money to the Park Board," Smith said.
He realizes, however, those entities are no longer interested in giving up control to a public body. Second best would be a conservancy supported by those who will benefit, such as the Vikings, Wells Fargo and surrounding businesses.
"If you want a public park down here, you have to give careful consideration on how you do everything," Smith said.
Otherwise, Minneapolis is looking at another Gateway Park or Pioneer Square.

"Chyanti" – (Short Film Review)
September 7, 2016 December 7, 2016 moviesforlife09Leave a comment
Rating: ***** out of *****.
Director Veemsen Lama and screenwriter Sampada Malla's thirty minute short (the pre-premiere, work in progress cut of which I was sent via email and base this review upon), "Chyanti" (2016), concludes with the resonant lyric: "It is the hopes that keep us alive." This is a perfect reiteration of the overall theme of this subtle, emotionally honest and undeniably human work. Such is most perceptible in our protagonist, Ram (in an enactment by Shyam Khadka that is every bit as credible, mature and understated as Lama's endeavor itself). He is a man who, despite the hardships placed before him, regularly reassures his wife, attributed here simply with the designation of "Mother" (an incredible, alternately wounded and strong portrayal by Babita Tamang) that their personal situation will get better next year. This is when Ram believes the regulatory landscape surrounding his kin will greatly alter in their favor.
It is this idealism amid grueling circumstances which helped make Lama's prior masterpiece, "Maya" (2015), so endlessly relatable. The consequence of that sixteen minute affair was a harrowing reminder of the transcendence of pure cinema. It also helped make us care all the more for those Lama centered his narrative around. Such also made the overall experience gripping, heart-breaking and soul-stirring. We felt the disappointment of every low-point. In addition, our cores radiated with joy when fate appeared to be favoring the leads. The same is true of "Chyanti". In many ways, Lama's latest can be seen as a companion, especially in tone and in contemplation of the many of the subjects addressed, to "Maya". This is especially accurate when noting the humanity that courses grandly through every frame of both productions.
This is largely thanks to Lama's aesthetically breathtaking, yet remarkably intimate, behind the camera influence. It is also as much courtesy of an ingenious and genuine script that, much like the aforementioned chronicle, never wavers from its character-oriented emphasis. Malla's penned construction, from an inspired by factual occurrences story that is credited to Lama himself, is confidently, smartly paced. It rings with authentic dialogue, proceedings and is graced with a highly unpredictable story arc. Also akin to "Maya", Lama and Malla successfully offers charismatic, yet flawed, down to earth heroes and heroines. All of which are spectacularly realized and cut from the everyday. They are undoubtedly a representation of the reality Lama is obviously striving for throughout this stupendous exertion. Such makes the manufacture as a whole increasingly vivid, tear-jerking and entrancing.
Lama's tale takes place during The Maoist Revolution. A commencing title card informs the viewer that such an event transpired in the South Asian country of Nepal. This was in the years spanning from 1996-2006. We also learn that this was a civil war. It was one involving the Nepalese government and the Maoist Communist Party. Such a combat left many homeless and took the lives of thousands of individuals. After a minute and a half of beautifully shot arrangements, all of which follow Ram coming home for the festival of Dashain, we witness firsthand the desperate financial situation his flesh and blood find themselves in. A distressing line of dialogue between Ram and Mother tells us that their daughter, Sani (in an exceptional depiction by Sangita Tamang), is about to begin school. Yet, Mother is unable to afford the food for dinner that night. Because of matters such as these, she cannot attain any of the niceties that the other children involved with Sani's education faculty will be enjoying. This is when Ram and Mother look to selling Sani's beloved goat, whose name is that of the configuration, to relieve some of this fiscal anxiety. Most of Lama's undertaking revolves around the manner in which to do this without Sani becoming aware of what is really going on. This heads to an expertly done, sentimentally taxing sequence at twenty-five minutes in. At this point, we see the results of this difficult decision. This is through Sani's innocent eyes. Such creates a mesmerizing conclusion to a brief photoplay where the word "unforgettable" certainly applies.
Lama peers unafraid to inquire endlessly into complex issues of morality with this riveting endeavor. But, the cornerstone is Lama's unflinching glimpses into what one man would do to provide for his loved ones. Such focus only heightens the quietly contemplative nature unveiled herein. It captivates us with its daring sensibilities. Lama has, in turn, provided an impeccable blend of intelligence, craftsmanship and sincerity. These are all ingredients Lama fluently distributes to his spectators. What is all the more amazing is that the opus doesn't weigh itself down in the political aspects of the undertaking.
"Chyanti" is just as dazzling from a technical angle. Ben Winwood musically evokes the low-key demeanor of the presentation. This is with often gentle, but always ear-pleasing and appropriate, orchestration. Arran Green delivers gorgeous cinematography. Uhjwal Dhakal and Eriks Mickevics' editing is terrific. Michael Ling's sound is sharp and impressive. Babita Tamang, Khadka and Malla's costume design is superb. Kaushal Pandit is tremendous. He leaves a lasting imprint with his short-lived turn as a goat seller. Ben Allinson's visual effects fare just as wondrously. These meticulously erected elements all come together both seamlessly and authentically.
The Javiya Films and 360 Degree Mountain Films release is another confirmation of Lama's intense talent. His knack for optical storytelling is ever-abundant. The effort is luminously framed throughout. This is in a fashion which infinitely amplifies the exquisiteness at hand. We see this in the jaw-dropping lensing of the natural surroundings of the account. Such is also accurate of the allure inherent in the various layers of the saga itself. This is an astonishingly accomplished demonstration. It is one of the increasingly rare creations that satisfies on all levels. Lama has amended a triumph of invention and honesty. "Chyanti" will undoubtedly please wide-audiences. It just as assuredly continues to establish him as a modern major of the moving picture art form. Because of the sheer magnitude of these achievements, "Chyanti" easily stands among the best featurettes of the year!

MARINE BIODISCOVERY - Can be defined as the chemical exploration of marine biodiversity, to detect, isolate, characterize, identify and evaluate structurally diverse natural products.
Over the last three decades the Capon Group has established itself as a leader in the field of marine biodiscovery. To support our research we assembled a library of Australian marine invertebrate and algae samples (~2,800), collected by hand from intertidal (0-2 m) and coastal waters (2-30 m), and by off-shore trawling (>50 m), across southern Australia to Antarctica. We designed and implemented many innovative marine biodiscovery protocols, including construction of a fractionated (enriched) extract library formatted in 96 well plates for rapid screening, UPLC-DAD tagging of >50,000 metabolites in this library (the majority new to science), and a raft of streamlined isolation, purification and structure elucidation protocols. In addition to isolating and identifying several thousand marine metabolites, we routinely undertake chemical syntheses of high priority metabolites, to support structure assignments, and advance pharmaceutical and agrochemical biodiscovery (see below).
In addition to publishing our findings (visit Rob Capon and select from Articles, Magazines, Books and Patents), several of our more significant marine biodiscovery achievements remain commercial-in-confidence. These include a marine brown alga-inspired anthelmintic for the treatment of parasite infections in livestock, and a marine sponge-inspired analgesic for the treatment of chronic inflammatory pain. To learn more of our marine drug discovery activities visit Pharmaceutical Biodiscovery and Agrochemical Biodiscovery.
Listed below are several examples of our marine natural product discoveries.
Bistellettazines – These first-in-class terpenyl-pyrrolizidine alkaloids, isolated from a marine sponge, Stelletta sp., collected during scientific trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight, feature an unprecedented framework derived from the biogenic equivalent of a Diels-Alder addition.
Phorbasins – These first-in-class diterpenyl-taurine alkaloids, isolated from a marine sponge, Phorbas sp., collected during scientific trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight, feature an unprecedented hetercyclic scaffold derived from the biogenetic equivalent of cascading Michael additions.
Ianthellidones – These first-in-class pyrrolidone alkaloids, isolated from a marine sponge, Ianthella sp., collected during scientific trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight, are structurally distinct from, but biosynthetically related to co-metabolite lamellarins. The co-metabolite ianthellidones and lamellarins are inhibitors of the aspartic acid protease, Beta-secretase 1 (BACE1), a target for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.
5'-Thio-xyloadenosine disulphide – The first reported example of a naturally occurring nucleoside disulfide, and only the second reported example of a natural xylo-nucleoside, isolated from a marine sponge, Trachycladuslaevispiulifer, collected as by-catch during commercial trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight.
Franklinolides – The first reported example of a polyketide phosphonate diester, isolated from a marine sponge, Halichondria sp., collected during scientific trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight. The franklinolides exhibit complex structural stability issues, and demonstrate for the first time that phosphonate dieters can dramatically enhance innate cytotoxicity.
Bastadins – Rare cyclic tetrapeptides comprised of brominated tyrosine residues, isolated from a Great Barrier Reef marine sponge, Ianthella basta.
Luffarins – A remarkable array of >30 highly oxygenated terpenes isolated from a marine sponge, Luffariella geometric Kirkpatrick, collected during commercial trawling operations (below 350 m) in the Great Australian bight - aboard the fishing vessel "Comet".
Cometins – New furanosesterterpenes from a marine sponge, Spongia sp., collected during commercial trawling operations (below 150 m) in the Great Australian Bight - aboard the fishing vessel "Comet".
Carduusynes – New polyacetylenic lipids isolated from a marine sponge, Phakellia carduus, collected during scientific trawling operations (below 350 m) in the Great Australian Bight.
Hippospongins – New furanoterpenes isolated from a marine sponge, Hippospongia sp., collected during scientific trawling operations in the Great Australian Bight.
Dictyosphaerin – A novel bicyclic "prostaglandin-like" lipid isolated from a rare marine green alga, Dictyosphaerea sericea, collected of intertidal rock platforms along the southern coast of Australia.
Sigmosceptrellins – A rare class of sponge norterpene endoperoxides isolated from a Great Australian Bight marine sponge, Sigmosceptrella sp. Sigmosceptrellin D and E were the first examples of this structure class to possess a hydroperoxy moiety, a discovery that prompted the proposal of a plausible biosynthetic origin for the endoperoxy moiety, involving an intramolecular Michael Addition. This biosynthetic pathway has since been widely endorsed, and has been the basis for the first successful biomimetic synthesis into this structure class.
Dragmacidins – New alkaloids from a sponge, Spongosorities sp, collected during scientific trawling operations of the coast of South Australia.

Is the Honeycutt mansion haunted? The summer people who bought the old mountain place and decided to stay for Christmas are beginning to think so. Their fake pink Christmas tree decorated with sea shell and flamingo ornaments keeps keeling over when no one's around. Best ask neighbor Nora Bonesteel for help. After all, the old woman has the "sight" — she can foretell deaths and commune with ghosts.
Sharyn McCrumb's holiday novella Nora Bonesteel's Christmas Past (Abingdon Press, digital galley), takes place in the same East Tennessee town of her popular Ballad series and brings back several familiar characters. While Nora remembers long-ago holidays — and one young soldier in particular — Sheriff Spencer Arrowood and Deputy Joe LeDonne are driving up the mountain on Christmas Eve. They have to arrest an elderly man charged with the hit-and-run of a politician's car. Still, a winter storm is coming, and the man won't leave his wife alone in a cabin with no firewood and a broken window.
McCrumb's gently humorous tale is replete with nostalgia. Nora vividly remembers simpler times gone by, when people were poorer but rich with friends, family and traditions.
Sheila Roberts has a knack for warm-hearted holiday tales that are sweet without being sappy. I'm especially fond of The Nine Lives of Christmas, which was made into a Hallmark movie this year. There's a lot of wishin' and hopin' going on in picturesque Icicle Falls, the setting for The Lodge on Holly Road (Harlequin, digital galley).
Single mom Missy Monroe brings her two children to the lodge hoping to give them the kind of traditional Christmas she never had, although she knows she can't fulfill their wishes for a dog and a grandmother. Enter Santa Claus, sort of — Brook Claussen kidnaps her widowed father, James, from his department store Santa job, hoping that a visit to the lodge will cure his grumpy blues. But she didn't count on Olivia Wallace, the pretty widow who runs the place with her grown son, Eric. Brook thinks Olivia has designs on her dad, and she's not wrong. But insufferable Eric scolds her for interfering. Among the other guests are a good-guy accountant who plans to propose to his snooty girlfriend, two old friends with opposite natures, a couple of bored teenagers and a prodigal son. What could possibly go wrong?
Roberts gets everything right in this romance — and even includes a recipe for Olivia's gumdrop cookies.
I always like to reread several holiday books from Christmases past. One year it might be Lee Smith's The Christmas Letters, or Barbara Robinson's The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, or Elizabeth Marshall Thomas' Certain Poor Shepherds. Last year it was Mary Kay Andrews' Blue Christmas, in preparation for its sequel, Christmas Bliss. This year, I reached back 30 years to Martha Grimes' mystery Jerusalem Inn, with Richard Jury and Melrose Plant investigating a sudden death in wintry northern England. The atmosphere's a bit melancholy and a whole lot mysterious, and it's one of my favorites in the Jury series. I'm a longtime admirer of the Scotland Yard detective with the devastating smile, still single after all these years.
Sweet dreams and happy holidays.

Firkey, Val McDermid on April 24, 2014| Leave a Comment »
If bookstores attract you like magnets, you'll find Gabrielle Zevin's charming novel The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry (Algonquin, review ARC) absolutely irresistible. "No Man is an Island. Every Book is a World." So says the sign over the door of Island Books, housed in a Victorian cottage on a fictional New England island. Alas, owner A.J. Fikry seems to have forgotten the sign since his young wife died in a car accident and his business took a nosedive. He fends off friends, like the police chief with a taste for crime fiction. He pushes away his sister-in-law, the disappointed wife of a philandering author. He even makes free-spirited Amelia, the new sales rep for Knightley Press, depart in tears. But just like in a storybook (!), A.J.'s pleasure in life, love and books will be renewed with the arrival of an unexpected package. Not all at once, though, and not without tears. Bittersweet proves sweet.
Jane Austen had some fun writing Northanger Abbey, but Catherine Morland always struck me as a ninny. I like her much more as Cat Morland in Val McDermid's clever update of Austen's Gothic satire, Northanger Abbey (Grove Atlantic, digital galley). This home-schooled daughter of a Dorset minister loves novels, especially paranormal fiction like Twilight and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (wink wink). Cat's horizons broaden when family friends invite her to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where she becomes BFF with socialite Bella Thorpe, who is crushing on Cat's brother, and meets enigmatic Henry Tilney and his sister Eleanor. Gee, she's awfully pale, and something weird is going on at the Tilney family estate, Northanger Abbey. McDermid, an award-winning crime novelist, sticks to the bones of Austen's plot but fleshes it out with modern details. If it reads a bit like a YA novel, that's ok; Cat is just 17. Still, I could have done without slang expressions like "Totes amazeballs." So last year.
Fans of the late Irish writer Maeve Binchy will welcome Chestnut Street (Knopf Doubleday, digital), a collection of stories about the neighbors of a middle-class Dublin street. Binchy wrote the stories over a period of years, sticking them in a drawer with the idea of a book in mind. Approved by her husband, the writer Gordon Snell, the stories vary in length and complexity, but the characters are familiar types from previous Binchy books, ordinary folks facing domestic crises and misunderstandings. There's the teenager who's unexpectedly pregnant like an aunt before her, who went to America and visits once a year. There's the divorced mum who minds her tongue and allows her grown daughter to make her own decisions. There's the mistress who belatedly realizes her predicament, the stingy uncle and his estranged niece, the spiteful woman who resents her friendly new neighbor, the four strangers who meet in a takeaway on New Year's Eve and reunite every year thereafter. Several stories beg to be longer. Oh, it would have been grand to have a Binchy novel about the visiting friend who becomes the street's favorite fortune teller after picking up on the local gossip.
No t everyone can see the titular building in The House at the End of Hope Street (Viking Penguin, paperback review copy), a whimsical literary confection by Meena van Praag. But young Cambridge grad student Alba Ashby, overwhelmed by a stunning personal and academic betrayal, is welcomed to 11 Hope Street by landlady Peggy Abbot, who tells her she can stay 99 nights. As former residents whose portraits hang on the walls — Agatha Christie, Daphne du Maurier, Dorothy Parker, among them — can attest, the house will work its peculiar magic during this time. Van Praag reminds me of Alice Hoffman as she recounts Alba's time at Hope Street, which overlaps with that of actress Greer, disappointed in love, and singer Carmen, who has buried a dark secret in the garden. Did I mention the portraits talk to one another and a pretty ghost hangs out in the kitchen?
Deanna Raybourn, author of the popular Lady Julia series, has another smart heroine in aviatrix Evangeline Starke, who narrates the winning City of Jasmine (Harlequin, digital galley). Five years after losing her husband with the sinking of the Lusitania, Evie is flying around the world in her plane The Jolly Roger, when she receives a recent photograph of the presumed-dead Gabriel Starke. She immediately heads for Damascus, with her eccentric aunt and a parrot in tow, to find Gabriel, who once worked an archaeological dig in the area. If he's alive, she just might kill him — for abandoning her after four months of marriage. Action and adventure, romance and history, secrets and spies! Ah, good times.

One of my favorite holiday-themed tales is my friend Mary Kay Andrews' Blue Christmas, which is warm, sweet and funny, complete with a hilarious turkey-carving disaster. So I blissfully gobbled up Christmas Bliss (St. Martin's, purchased e-book), which is the diverting follow-up, featuring more of Weezie and Bebe's excellent adventures. It's the week before Christmas and Weezie is prepping for her small Christmas Eve wedding to Daniel, Savannah's hottest chef. Except Daniel's showing off his culinary expertise to the sultry owner of a chi-chi restaurant in Manhattan. Meanwhile, bestie Bebe is happily and heavily pregnant, juggling her job on Tybee, renovations on a new house, and worries about her charter-boat captain beau Harry's career. As Weezie hops on a plane for a surprise trip to New York, Bebe is left with mischievous mutt Jethro and the burning secret that she is still married to her snake of an ex-husband. All sorts of complications ensue — including Weezie losing both her coat and shoes in separate big-city mishaps, and Bebe enduring a baby shower — but Andrews neatly wraps up the intersecting storylines into a package that's merry and bright.
Debbie Macomber's Starry Night (Random House, digital galley) is about as improbable as me shedding pounds over the holidays, but at least it's a no-cal treat. Chicago reporter Carrie Slayton hopes to trade the society beat for hard news with an exclusive interview with best-selling wilderness author Finn Dalton. Only the reclusive Finn never gives interviews, not even when Carrie eventually tracks him to Alaska and hires a bush pilot to drop her off at Finn's isolated cabin with a snowstorm howling at her heels. Forced together in close quarters, the odd couple find some common ground, but their mutual attraction isn't great enough to overcome Finn's issues with love-'em-and-leave-'em women like his mom and his ex. Carrie returns to Chicago without her scoop or Finn — until he comes looking for her. Awwww.
A snowstorm also plays Cupid in Susan Mallery's Christmas on 4th Street (Harlequin, digital gallery), another winning entry in her Fool Gold's series of contemporary romances. It's only slightly more realistic than Starry Night, but Mallery's fans are used to almost-magical events in the small California town. Putting tragedy behind her, Noelle Perkins forsakes her law career to open the Christmas Attic shop on 4th Street. She's brimming with holiday cheer, unlike Army surgeon Gabriel Boylan, coming off a hard tour overseas to visit his brother. Gabriel is undecided about his next move, although his exacting drill sergeant dad expects him to continue in the military. Lovely Noelle has him considering his options, but their romance craters until the aforementioned storm and an ensuing avalanche intervene. Sweet.
Katie Flynn's A Christmas to Remember (Random House Adult Trade, digital galley) is one of several books by popular British authors to be released globally as e-books. Flynn's warm-hearted tale is a bit soapy and predictable, covering seven years after World War II as young Tess Williams grows up in Liverpool, where food is still rationed and times are hard. Living with her grandmother Edie above a hat shop, bright Tess makes friends with widower tobacconist Albert Payne, tangles with mean girl Marilyn, is torn between the affections of farmer boy Jonty and city boy Snowy, and wonders whether to go to university or get a job. An accident and then a stray cat set her on an unexpected path. All's well that ends well with another memorable holiday. More for fans of East Enders than Downton Abbey, although I like both.

Every year, I gather up my favorite holiday books for rereading: Lee Smith's The Christmas Letters, Mary Kay Andrews' Blue Christmas (e-book on sale this week for $1.99), Elizabeth Marshall Thomas' Certain Poor Shepherds and Barbara Robinson's Best Christmas Pageant Ever. They make me laugh or cry, sometimes both, and they're nifty stocking stuffers.
This year, I discovered Sheila Roberts' lighthearted The Nine Lives of Christmas (St. Martins Press), attracted by the orange cat on the cover who bears a striking resemblance to my Giant Peach.
Ambrose, the cover cat, fears his brief ninth life is about to come to a dead end in the jaws of a nasty dog. Hanging on to the bare branches of a tree for dear life, he strikes a bargain with his creator. If someone will please save him, he'll devote the rest of his life to helping the rescuer.
Enter firefighter Zach, who does his best to keep the scruffy stray out of his house, and, when that doesn't work, vows to find Ambrose's former owner. But Ambrose has other plans for Zach. The commitment-phobic hunk just thinks he's happy in a casual relationship with the lovely Pet Palace heiress. But she hates cats, unlike pretty, shy Merilee, who volunteers at the animal shelter and works at Pet Palace, at least until Cruella DeVille takes notice. It's a cat fight that can only end in Merrilee's tears.
Ok, pretty standard plot. But Roberts spins an amusing story before the fur falls from the erstwhile lovers' eyes. Zach has real issues with family, especially his mother, who left his father when he was a kid. Now remarried with two more kids, she wants to be part of Zach's life again.
Merrilee has a great family, but she feels like the dowdy runner-up to her two glamorous, successful sisters. And when she can't convince her Scrooge of a landlord to let her keep her cat any longer, she's really in a pickle.
Fortunately, Ambrose has wiles aplenty, learned from his eight previous lives. Not the he couldn't use a little Christmas miracle as well.
Ahh. Here's to happy endings, smart cats and holiday fluff.
Open Book: I bought the digital copy of The Nine Lives of Christmas after first downloading a sample to my new Nook Tablet. (Note to publishers, samples should include actual pages of the story and not just an overview and blurbs. Are you listening, Random House?!)
Love-erly!

So, Valentine's Day may have come and gone, but I'm still feeling the romance, on the page at least. Yesterday, I received a box of a dozen classic romance paperbacks from Avon Books because I entered a Facebook contest on a whim — and won! Then I went to send a thank-you this a.m. and found that Avon was sponsoring a LiveStream chat with a handful of romance authors at a virtual booksigning at Turn the Page bookstore in Maryland.
What fun! Romance readers from around the world — yes, world — were asking questions right and left of Nora Roberts, Jeaniean Frost, Pamela Palmer, Mary Burton, Grace Burrowes and Stephanie Dray. Who's your favorite character? How do you get inside a villain's head? Do you have a playlist when you write? What do you to do for relaxation? Who are your favorite writers? Do you have an e-reader?
Avon's Pamela Spengler-Jaffee did a fine job at moderating the answers, which were as different as the authors and their romance subgenres — contemporary, historical, paranormal, suspense, mythological. You can watch/listen to the discussion http://avonromance.com/romancelive (I'm tuned in again as I write.)
Surprise! The writers read to relax. "We're all story junkies." So some also watch TV series and movies. But they also do yoga, bake, play with pets, garden.
What comes through in everybody's answers is an enduring love of books, writing and romance, from classics (Jane Eyre) to YA (Wicked, Lovely) to all-time favorites Mary Stewart and Georgette Heyer. (My favorites, too). "It's all about passion," someone pointed out.
If you're looking for your next romance to read, I recommend you listen in. You'll not only want to read the books by these authors, but the books they like. I'm a long-time Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb fan, and I've read several books by other panel members, with the exception of newcomer Burrowes. Nice to know, she has embarked on an eight-book series.
Be sure to stick around for the near-end discussion about the popularity of romance. It's a once, future and present thing, the writers all agree, because romance never goes out of style. Says Burrowes: "As long as people need happily-ever-afters, as long as we need dreams to come true. . .romance will have its charms."
Indeed. Isn't it love-erly?

FastQC Kmer in centre of sequence, quality trim?
Question: FastQC Kmer in centre of sequence, quality trim?
I have run a FastQC on some fastqc sequences and the report tells me I have contaminating Kmers. Normally this would be fine as I could quality trim to get rid of them before downstream analysis but these seem to be present at position 10-18 in my sequence. See  below.
Does anyone know a)why this would happen and b)how they can be or even if they should be removed before mapping etc?
FastQC performs the analysis on a sample of the data (first 200k reads). The reads are pretty short to begin with and trimming these out would result in very short reads that could be difficult to map. So, it is probably OK to not worry about or remove these embedded Kmer regions.
I would instead focus on detected adaptor sequence in the FastQC report. It is possible that adaptors are present in the first 10 bases and the kmers follow those, representing some other artifact from library prep. However, since this would consume so much of the read (about half), these reads would fall out during the alignment step anyway, even if trimmed, especially if the data is RNA and a spliced alignment tool like Tophat/HISAT is used. 15 bases is pretty short to map unless it is DNA and the mapper (BWA, etc) has the parameters tuned well.
Others are still welcome to offer their options on this.

If you talk about tourism, going on vacation my family does not take interest in it but takes a lot interest if you talk about computer and Facebook – what a dilemma! One fine day out of nowhere we made a plan to visit Khewra's salt mine. We started our journey to Khewra at the time of Fajar it was really exciting for me as generally we don't go to different places with family. We arrived there at the time of Duhar. The salt mine in the range looked like a cave. I felt as if I am doing some kind of adventure and exploring it just like it happens in National Geographic.
First we went in the mine by train. It was such an astonishing site to observe how they work at different levels (floors) of the mine. When we reached the 8th floor we got out of the train and started walking. They had carved the salt in a mini-building like Minar-e-Pakistan and Badshahi mosque. There were also few decoration pieces carved out of salt available to buy like table lamps, vase etc.
After the detailed tour of the mine with the guide we went up the mountain. It was such a mesmerizing site I could see the whole city of Khewra. For the first time in my life I realized that nature is better than man-made things. This mine could not be made with millions and billions of dollars. It is only the Allah who can build these enormous structures, only by saying KUN.


1 From the Introduction to vol 6 of the German critical edition of Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks ( Gefängnishefte , vol 6: Philosophie der Praxis , edited and translated by Wolfgang Fritz Haug, with the cooperation of Klaus Bochmann, Peter Jehle, and Gerhard Kuck,... Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks were written between 1929 and 1935 while Gramsci was imprisoned by Mussolini. One of the most original Marxist thinkers in twentieth century Europe, Gramsci has had a profound influence on debates about the relationship between politics and culture.
Each volume in the 'Reading Gramsci' series is devoted to a theme that is especially prominent in Gramsci's work or to a field of study that has been strongly influenced by his ideas.

Ham's call to "take back" the rainbow dates to at least 2007. He wrote a post on his website, Answers in Genesis, that said the rainbow should be a reminder that God judges sin, but said he would never judge the world with a flood again.
"The rainbow has been used as a sign of a new era and a symbol of peace, love, and freedom," Ham wrote in the 2007 post. "Sadly, the colors of the rainbow are even used on a flag for the gay and lesbian movement."
While Ham said Christians want to re-appropriate the rainbow, Twitter responses indicated the LGBTQ community and their supporters are enjoying the Ark's new lighting.
One person responded to the announcement on Twitter, saying "I didn't realize Noah was so progressive," while another called it an "awesome pride float."
John Gidding, a celebrity architect, responded with a thread of tweets, including one that read, "Will you have a gay animal couple in there?! Penguins are overplayed — I say make the dinosaurs you have in there gay! JurasSICK!"

This isn't the first time in recent months that the Ark Encounter has made headlines. In late June, the attraction sold its main area of land, worth $48 million, to a non-profit affiliate for $10. Williamstown officials said they think this could have been the first step to becoming a non-profit, which would allow the theme park to avoid city, state and federal taxes.
On Wednesday, the Williamstown City Council was reportedly told by the city attorney that the Ark Encounter had offered to pay a newly proposed safety tax as long as it was capped at $500,000 a year.
The Ark Encounter is a 510-foot-long, 85-foot-wide structure meant to express the belief that the earth is 12,000 years old or younger and that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time.

The IRS created new Notice 1439, Figuring the Amount Exempt From Levy on Wages, Salary, and Other Income – Forms 668-W, 668-W(ACS) and 668-W(ICS), May 2018, that updates instructions for the three versions of Form 668-W, Notice of Levy on Wages, Salary, and Other Income. The updated instructions reflect changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 115-97).
To initiate a federal tax levy, the IRS sends an employer Form 668-W, which has six parts. Parts 3-5 require employees to inform the employer and the IRS about their tax filing status and any dependents they can claim. Employees indicate filing status by checking a block on the Statement of Dependents and Filing Status (formerly the Statement of Exemptions and Filing Status). Employees will list each person they can claim as a dependent on an income tax return who is not claimed on another 668-W.
If the employee does not return Parts 3 and 4, the exempt amount is calculated as if the employee had returned them indicating married filing separate with no dependents (zero). Employers should not use the employee's Form W-4 to determine the amount exempt from levy.
The amount that is exempt does not change merely because the amount that all taxpayers can deduct for dependents, filing status, and additional standard deductions changes for the new year. An employee may ask to have the exempt amount recalculated with the new year's table by submitting a new Statement of Dependents and Filing Status. Also, if the employee's number of dependents or filing status changes while the levy is in effect, the employee should file another Statement of Dependents and Filing Status with the employer.

Wahlburgers Lawsuit Highlights Comm...
Wahlburgers Lawsuit Highlights Common Ways Restaurants Violate Workers' Rights
Staff | Labor and Employment | Aug 22, 2016
Wahlburgers, the burger franchise owned by celebrity brothers Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, is under fire from five former employees for alleged overtime and minimum wage violations. The allegations involve common violations in the restaurant industry, and a high profile case like this will illuminate the issue for those in the dark about their rights.
The former employees allege that their rights under both the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law were infringed, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Wahlburgers was started by actors Mark and Donnie and their chef brother Paul. The brothers opened their first restaurant in Boston in 2011, and have gone on to create a national burger franchise, with plans to go international in coming years, reports say.
New York Practice Areas
Dog Bites Burn Injuries Labor & Employment
Workers' Compensation Slip & Fall Social Security Disability
As part of its expansion, Wahlburgers issued franchise licenses to groups that wanted to own their own Wahlburgers. As a result, the Coney Island Wahlburgers that is named in this lawsuit is not owned by the brothers, and they were not named in the lawsuit, although their company, Wahlburgers Franchising LLC is.
However, employees alleged in the complaint that two of the brothers, Donnie and Paul, were aware of the labor violations going on.
In response to the allegations made by these employees, a Wahlburgers spokesperson said "Wahlburgers is all about family. Treating people fairly and with respect is at the heart of our brand. Since this situation came to light yesterday, we've been working with Coney Burgers to better understand the circumstances."
The labor and wage violations that occurred at Wahlburgers are quite common in the restaurant industry, and to better inform employees of what they need to watch out for, here is a list of basic rights restaurants workers have in the workplace.
Work Over 40 Hours a Week? You Could Be Owed Overtime
The employees who filed the class action against Wahlburgers all alleged that they were not paid overtime, even though they regularly worked more than 40 hours a week and they were not salaried employees. The FLSA guarantees that certain employees who work more than 40 hours in a week will get time-and-a-half pay for every hour over 40 that they worked.
There are employees exempt from overtime, but they must meet specific criteria outlined in the FLSA. Rarely will a restaurant worker qualify for an overtime exemption, so if you are a restaurant worker and your boss tells you that you are exempt from overtime, you will need to make sure you're not being denied money that's yours.
You Must Be Paid For All Hours You Work
It is all too common for employers to expect their employees to complete work tasks off-the-clock. Allegedly, Wahlburgers was not an exception, and in the complaint the former employees say that they regularly worked hours for which they were not paid.
Some of the employees were required to attend an unpaid, three-day orientation before they began working at the restaurant, according to the complaint, which goes on to say that other employees were punched out of the time system for meals and breaks they did not take, resulting in no wages for the work they did. One plaintiff was even told not to punch in at all, the lawsuit says.
These practices are illegal, according to the FLSA and related state laws. If you are at work, you are owed at least the minimum wage for each hour worked.
You Get To Keep Your Tips
Except for valid tip pools, you are not required to share or hand over any tips that you receive. A valid tip pool [includes][2]{: target="_blank"} workers who typically receive more than $30 in tips each month. At Wahlburgers, the plaintiffs allege that the owners regularly kept tips that were for the employees, and required tipped employees to share their tips with employees who are not entitled to tips, such as cooks, an illegal requirement.
By requiring the plaintiffs to do this, their hourly wage fell below the New York state hospitality workers' minimum wage of $7.50 an hour, because they were paid using what's called a tip credit. Paying using a tip credit is legal, but if the tips do not add up to the minimum wage the employer must make up the difference.
You Are Not Required To Pay For Broken Equipment
Just like at Wahlburgers, employees at the Atlanta restaurant owned by rapper, actor, and entrepreneur T.I. alleged labor law violations. The plaintiff's allegations in that case were similar to those made in this one, but the employees in Atlanta also alleged that they were required to pay for broken equipment.
According to the FLSA, broken equipment, such as drinking glasses, are considered a business expense and should not be deducted from an employee's pay if one breaks — unless an employee did it on purpose or showed gross negligence when handling the equipment. If an employee does have wages deducted for broken equipment, the deductions can not bring the hourly wages below the minimum wage. As mentioned above, your hourly wage must add up to the minimum wage, otherwise your employer must make up the difference.

If you are a restaurant worker, and you believe your employer is violating labor laws in any of the ways mentioned above, your employer might be denying wages to which you are entitled.

NY Times, Apr 15, 2015 (emphasis added): [Regulators] approved an emergency closure of commercial sardine fishing off Oregon, Washington and California… Earlier this week, the council shut down the next sardine season… [R]evised estimates of sardine populations… found the fish were declining in numbers faster than earlier believed… [Stocks are] much lower than estimated last year… The reasons are not well-understood.
Pacific Fishery Management Council meeting, April 13, 2015: Ben Enticknap, Oceana senior scientist (1:08:00 in) — "We've seen a significant change in recruitment [Recruitment: The number of new young fish that enter a population]. There's been practically no recruitment in recent years, and this was not expected."
Undercurrent News, Apr 14, 2015: [A]ccording to the report on the emergency action from the PFMC… "the total stock biomass of Pacific sardine is declining as a result of poor recruitment"… [A California Wetfish Producers Association official said] "little recruitment was observed in 2011-2014."
Oregonian, Apr 13, 2015: Pacific coast sardines are facing a population collapse so severe [fishing] will be shut down… [The] downward spiral in spite of favorable water conditions has ocean-watchers worried there's more to this collapse than cyclical population trends. "There are a lot of weird things happening out there, and we're not quite sure why they aren't responding the way they should," said Kevin Hill, a NOAA Fisheries biologist… Fishery managers are adding it to a list of baffling circumstances off the West Coast… NOAA surveys indicate very few juvenile fish made it through their first year. "The population isn't replacing itself," Hill said.
SFist, Apr 14, 2015: [T]he population appears decimated… As the Council writes, "temperatures in the Southern California Bight have risen in the past two years, but we haven't seen an increase in young sardines"… Sardines typically spawn in warmer waters, with cold water decreasing their numbers.
SF Chronicle, Apr 14, 2015: Sardine population collapses… [There's] evidence stocks are going through the same kind of collapse [seen in the 1950s]… The sardine population along the West Coast has collapsed… Causes of crisis — A lack of spawning… was blamed for the decline… Severe downturn… things recently took a turn for the worse… because of a lack of spawning due to poor ocean conditions in 2014… The collapse this year is the latest in a series of alarming die-offs, sicknesses and population declines in the ocean ecosystem along the West Coast. Anchovies… have also declined [due to] a lack of zooplankton… Record numbers of starving sea lions… Brown pelicans, too, have suffered from mass reproductive failures and are turning up sick and dead… Strange diseases have also been proliferating in the sea…
Monterey Herald, Apr 13, 2015: For the first time in 30 years [sardine fishing] will be banned.
KPCC, Apr 1, 2015: The first time that sardine fishing has been banned since federal management of the fishery began… Many are worried a… catastrophic crash is happening.

Sooooo…what caused it when it happened in the 50's? Seems like THAT would be an integral part of any such purportedly enigmatic story…
nootkabear says:
I fail to understand what you are asking. I really don't think you think that it happened "in the 50's". Then you state: "Seems like THAT would be an integral part of any such…" As I believe that you are smart enough to have noticed that I did not actually write the article, I fail to understand your comments. I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic, or honest, or if you had a bad day and are looking to pick on someone, and I was there. So while there are several issues that the author had left unmentioned, the way have addressed those issues, make your comments as elusive to me, as the missing dates(?) from the article.
Please don't take it as I am being some rude bitch, I truly don't understand your comments.
Sorry…I thought I WAS being clear…the beginning of the 2nd paragraph below the "Age – 1 Biomas" graph clearly says:
"SF Chronicle, Apr 14, 2015: Sardine population collapses… [There's] evidence stocks are going through the same kind of collapse [seen in the 1950s]…".
The general theme and common thread in this compilation of news reports is that whatever is causing all this stuff is a great mystery, so I thought it odd that when they stated that one of the events in particular, the sardine population collapse, may well be caused by the same thing that caused a similar event in the 50's, that they would have also bothered to say what that cause was – seems pretty darn relevant to me – doesn't it to you?
It's like they're saying that this incredibly terrible stuff is happening and we don't know why, except for the sardine thing, and we think we might have a pretty good idea what caused it, but we're not going to tell YOU!!! 🙂
Yes, I see what you mean, and you are so right!

Q: WSO2 API Mgr-Rest-Query Params I have configured a REST API on WSO2 API Manager, which has a Query Param.
When invoked from a subscriber (from API Console), the request is being directed to backend. However, the Query Param that is sent from API Console is not getting reflected in the BE Variable.
BE API is Java.
Actual BE URL :
http://localhost:9000/APIMgmtRestFulServiceLengthFinder/testrest/lengthFinder/query?param1=sreedhar

context URL in API Mgr : /APIMgmtRestFulServiceLengthFinder/testrest/lengthFinder
url pattern in API Mgr : /query
Sandbox URL :
http://localhost:9000/APIMgmtRestFulServiceLengthFinder/testrest/lengthFinder/query?
Regards, Sreedhar

A: This is how you should create your api in API Manager.

*

*Give the context as something like "LengthFinder".

*Define a GET resource /query

*Add a query parameter to the above resource with the name "param1"

*Provide http://localhost:9000/APIMgmtRestFulServiceLengthFinder/testrest/lengthFinder/ as the backend url

*Publish the API, subscribe to it and invoke from the api console and see.

You can invoke it via curl as well to see if there is something wrong when invoked from the api console.

A: I got through with above problem. However, I have recreated a fresh REST Project and applied. Following are updated URLs
Access URL : http://localhost:9000/UserManagement/rest/UserService/lengthFinder?param1=sreedhar
Context : /UserManagement/rest
URL Pattern : /UserService/lengthFinder
Endpoint URL : http://localhost:9000/UserManagement/rest


The husband of tragic BBC presenter Rachael Bland has revealed her little boy Freddie sensed her death.
Rachael tragically died on September 5, 2018, as her little boy Freddie lay sleeping peacefully in the room next door.
Freddie, three, suddenly woke up and let out a series of small cries before falling back to sleep, his dad has revealed.
"It was amazing. He never wakes up or cries out normally," her grieving husband Steve told The Times Magazine.
Steve refuses to describe their ordeal as a 'tragedy', insisting: "I have always tried to be grateful for what I have and not too much for things that I don't have or couldn't have.
"That's why I would never consider myself unlucky or unfortunate."
Rachael admitted she was scared that Freddie wouldn't remember her, and so before her death wrote a book for him titled, For Freddie.
In it she once again apologised for leaving him as an only child.

The G.I. Bill, Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Flag Code, and Social Security all exist thanks to The American Legion.
STILL SERVING. IT'S WHO WE ARE.
In 1919, The American Legion was founded on four pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children & Youth. Each of these pillars encompasses a variety of programs that benefit our nation's veterans, its service members, their families, the youth of America and ordinary citizens. These programs make a difference in hundreds of thousands of lives each year.
Our organization's positions and programs are guided by resolutions passed by American Legion National Convention delegates, and by committee and commission members who represent 2.5 million wartime veterans and their families. These programs, and the men and women who take the time to perform them allow The American Legion to make a difference on the local, state, and national levels.
