Facebook's terms of service (TOS) used to say that when you closed an account on their network, any rights they claimed to the original content you uploaded would expire. Not anymore.

Make sure you never upload anything you don't feel comfortable giving away forever, because it's Facebook's now.
Oh, you also agree to arbitration, naturally. Have fun with that.
Still, the interesting thing about this change in our terms is that it highlights the importance of these issues and their complexity. People want full ownership and control of their information so they can turn off access to it at any time. At the same time, people also want to be able to bring the information others have shared with them-like email addresses, phone numbers, photos and so on-to other services and grant those services access to those people's information. These two positions are at odds with each other. There is no system today that enables me to share my email address with you and then simultaneously lets me control who you share it with and also lets you control what services you share it with.

West Africa to Forlet CFA Franc and take by Choice Single Currency – the ECO
By Abdul Rahman Suagibu –
Photo Credit: Teller Report
NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS, Freetown, Sierra Leone- Eight West African countries have yielded assent to replace the name of their common currency to the ECO officially scissoring ties with the CFA Franc. The CFA Franc, linked to erewhile colonial ruler France has always been condemned for its representation of neo-colonialism.
From 1945, the CFA Franc has been the currency been utilized by French colonies, and the usage of the currency continued after independence.
Reports portend that, the ECO will still be a fixed exchange rate to the Euro but the rule that member states keep 50% of reserves with French treasury will be removed, the French representative on the board of regional central bank will be removed, giving autonomy to the body.
Commenting on the development during a news conference Ivory Coast's President Alassane Ouattara was quoted by an international news agency headquarter in London, UK saying, "This is a historic day for West Africa." French President Emmanuel Macron was also at the news conference. President Macron said, the decision to adopt the ECO is a "historic reform."
Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo currently use the currency. All the countries are former French colonies except Guinea-Bissau.
The CFA is divided into two, the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), which includes Chad, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Republic of Congo, and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).
The proposed changes will only affect the West African form of the currency, and not the Central African CFA.
The most recent announcement has been received with positive reactions and paves the way for further integration of the continent.
Supporters of a single currency say it will facilitate trade, lower transaction costs and payments amongst ECOWAS' 385 million people.
The ECO is expected to be adopted in 2020.The target launch date for the regional bloc of countries in West Africa's single currency has been postponed several times; in 2005, 2010 and 2014; since the concept first arose in 2003.
A report by the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) signals that, for countries to meet the 2020 deadline for the single currency, the region needs to align with its monetary and fiscal policies expeditiously.
Countries are required to meet a ten convergence criteria, set out by the West African Monetary Institute (WAMI), by the 2020 deadline. The primary four being: a budget deficit of not more than 3%, an average annual inflation rate of less than 10%, Central Bank financing of budget deficits should be no more than 10% of the previous year's tax revenue and gross external reserves worth at least three months of imports.
The CFA Franc was created in 1945 after the 1944 Brettons Wood Agreement which saw the world usher in a new global monetary system with the U.S dollar replacing the gold standard. The Brettons Wood Agreement griped firmly America's dominance as a world economic power. The CFA Franc is tied to the Euro, and follows the fluctuation of the Euro. The creation of ECO, the newly proposed West African currency designed to substitute the CFA Franc by 2020 led to an official separation with the Euro.

Q: socat reliable file transfer over TCP I am aware of disadvantages of "wait->stop" design, that usually is proposed with netcat:
server$ cat test.dat | nc -q 10 -l -p 7878
client$ nc -w 10 remotehost 7878 > out.dat

(It's not reliable : no meter how long you wait it's always possible that there was network bottleneck for one second longer. - Another thing -> why wait 10second if you can know immediately that data are transferred and start processing them !)
I'd like solution, with reliable and nice tcp stream closing.
I've found socat, with closing as described in man socat :

When  one  of  the streams effectively reaches EOF, the closing phase begins. Socat transfers the EOF condition to the other stream, i.e. tries to shutdown only its write stream, giving it a chance to terminate gracefully.

I found following commands working:
Server sending file:
server$ socat -u FILE:test.dat TCP-LISTEN:9876,reuseaddr
client$ socat -u TCP:127.0.0.1:9876 OPEN:out.dat,creat

Server receiving file:
server$ socat -u TCP-LISTEN:9876,reuseaddr OPEN:out.txt,creat && cat out.txt
client$ socat -u FILE:test.txt TCP:127.0.0.1:9876

Is it reliable? Can it be improved? (Have I used right options? Are there better options to setup? - There are so many of them with socat)

A: Looks to me like your core is solid -- this should be reliable, and should quit once the file has been completely sent.
If out.txt already exists, though, then this setup might behave unexpectely.  If out.txt is longer than test.txt, the last part of out.txt will remain, since socat is overwriting the file byte by byte instead of making sure the file is empty.  There are a few ways to fix this, depending on what you want to do:

*

*OPEN:out.txt,creat,trunc will delete all the bytes in out.txt before writing to it.  This option mimics what you'd expect from cp, and is probably what you want.

*OPEN:out.txt,creat,excl will refuse to write out.txt if it already exists.  Use this option for extra safety.

*OPEN:out.txt,creat,append will append data to out.txt.

I also like to run md5sum on the source and destination files whenever I cobble something like this together, because of these sorts of corner cases.

Musicianship is a life-long process. Most talented musicians have been working on their art since childhood, and musical talent often seems to run in families. One reason that this seems to be the case is that children in musical families are encouraged from an early age to participate in musical activities. A sense of musicianship is instilled early in their lives. Even if your family is not composed of professional musicians, here are some ways that you can still foster a love for music in your child's heart.
Sing with your child. When your child was a baby, it was probably common that you would sing lullabies to comfort them or help them to sleep. As they get older, singing with your child can help them to develop a sense of pitch. It can also show them that music is fun. Sing hymns, silly songs, tunes from the radio, or even educational songs. Making up songs or allowing your child to make them up is also a great way to retain information. If they need to memorize something, set it to music.
Take them to the music store. Music stores like Caldwell Connection are great hands-on places to experience musical instruments. You will often find musicians trying out equipment, cool instruments that you didn't know existed, and even instruments that you or your child can touch. Product sampling is the norm in most music stores, because it is important to find out how an instrument sounds and feels before you buy it. However, make sure that you and your children are respectful of others. Teach your child good manners like using soft touches, asking before they pick things up, and not putting things (such as recorders and harmonicas) in their mouth before purchasing them.
Get them involved in music lessons. Many traditional music teachers have age limits for children participating in lessons. Certain instrument lessons are often geared to middle school students simply because their hands need to be a certain size before truly being able to place them correctly on the instrument. However, there are other teaching methods, such as Suzuki, Orff, and Kodaly, that begin teaching students as early as preschool. Suzuki lessons are usually private, one-on-one instruction, whereas Orff and Kodaly are group lessons that are often taught in schools, daycare centers, and businesses like Gymboree.
You do not have to be a great musician in order to foster a love for music in your child. With the right encouragement, even the youngest child can develop a sense of true musicianship.
Do you play music for your baby as he or she is sleeping? Do you struggle to get your little one to sleep at night? How many times through the night does your baby wake? There are several musical selections that can actually help your baby fall asleep more easily and stay asleep for longer periods of time. I have learned firsthand how music can have an impact on the quality of sleep that everyone in the household gets each night. To find out what musical selections I play for my baby at night, visit my website. There, you will find all sorts of tips for using music to soothe a baby.

When it comes to the treatment of COVID-19, many Western nations have been hobbled by the politicization of medicine. Throughout 2020, media and many public health experts warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine, despite the fact that many practicing doctors were praising its ability to save patients. Many of them were silenced through online censorship. Some even lost their jobs for the "sin" of publicly sharing their successes with the drug. Another decades-old anti-parasitic drug that offers great hope is ivermectin, but it too is being hushed up by mainstream media.

I was impressed with the way this strategy helped me distance my emotions from the conflict. The visuals were wonderful – easy to understand and memorable.


Theoretically we shouldn't need to get angry with God, because we know what He does is always for our good. But what about the really hard things (some of which have already been mentioned)?
When we have a barney about probably something insignificant (usually triggered by tiredness or similar), then kiss & make up, and it is quickly forgotten. Then you can laugh about whatever it was that triggered it, if you can even remember!
And has already been mentioned above the greatest people in the bible got angry with God in the Psalms. Repressed anger is not good so if we can't be angry with God where do we go & what do we do?
Still feel there's more questions than answers, but tea is ready so must go!
So glad it got you thinking! Repressed anger is not good, I agree – we want resolved anger!
with anyone, God included, we will feel angry.
And Love enough to comfort and heal.
Yes – this is about real relationship – I think that is the key. Great insights – thank you.
I've long been of the view that there is a difference between anger and resentment. With regards to God, I do think it is ok to have times when you are angry with It. But I am also aware that this in a minority view. Where I think there is danger is if the anger is allowed to fester and it turns into resentment. The source of our anger may well be that we don't understand what's going on why? For example, one of my friends (a young, married father) has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
I think the Psalms, as you say, contain good examples of people being angry with God. It's what we do with that anger that's important.
The other main consideration is how your anger affects those around you. We probably should be aware that it doesn't become uncontrolled rage which damages other people in the fallout.
We have a son who was born with a complex heart defect who only lived for nine weeks. Amid all the other stages of grief we've been through in the past four years, anger has certainly had it's part. I have sometimes been sinfully angry and jealous of women who I see as "unworthy" mothers who have perfectly healthy children, I've been angry at doctors, but that never lasts since I know they did their best and we did give them an impossible task. And really, when you are dealing with issues of how a body was created and questions of life and death, who do you direct your anger and questions to besides God?
If my husband does something to make me angry, whether its 'legitimate' anger or not, I think it's good to tell him about it. Even if I tell him just to explain, tell him I'm sorry and that I'm working to fix it. How is that different from God? If I'm angry at something that only God could be responsible for, do I hide it? Do I lie about how I feel? I shouldn't exalt my feelings above everything else, but in the relationship we have, it seems that i should be able to tell him, even if I'm telling with an apology and asking for help with it.
Thank you so much for sharing some of your story. It sounds like you had a lot to be angry about… I like your thoughts here – they sound like they are from someone who has thought deeply about suffering and come through it. It's amazing that you could take all that to God.
– being angry with God does seem to suggest we think he's done the wrong thing, which can't be encouraged or OK.
– there is lots in the world to make us angry and we wonder why God doesn't change it. We always hold a tension between God's goodness and sovereignty and the injustice in the world and the pain and frustrations in our lives.
– sometimes anger is an expression of our rage at not being the centre of the world. We are not worshiped and served and adored in the way we would like and it makes us angry. We sometimes need to stop and recognise that and confess it and re-view our world with a more godly perspective.
– sometimes we need to change our words. We are angry about… And we are discouraged that God is allowing it. We are angry because… And we feel unloved by God because of it. We are angry that… And we wonder whether God cares as much as we do? We're not always actually angry with God when we think we are!
– its still ok to express our anger in prayer and lay it allllllll out there and ask for his help! When we are angry with God, it's better to address it and tell him than to go off in a huff!
i wonder if the way forward is in taking our anger to God, even our anger toward Him and engaging Him in understanding our anger and pain which is way the psalms are there I believe. So on one hand God because of who He is is big enough for our anger but we need to sometimes journey and wrestle with Him deeply and honestly to come through anger without sinning or to know His forgiveness when we do sin in anger. We need to do this rather than just hurl our anger at Him with no intention of letting Him speak into the situation. As we journey with Him my prayer would be that He would reveal what painful circumstances don't reflect immediately, that He does have a plan not to harm us and that He has our deepest need of salvation and restoration at heart. i know my anger toward God in the past is because I don't know Him well enough and I prefer to be the victim.
Anger in reaction to genuine injustice especially global atrocities needs to be taken to God, it is right and proper to feel anger then. When the events simply overwhelm us with their size in contrast to our prayers then it is not surprising if God takes the wrap because He claims to be all sovereign but evil still happens. He wants us to be angry, in so doing we help reflect Him to a broken world. A world that needs to know God cares when it can feel like He doesn't but then we need to ask Him to help us respond as He would, to be His tangible hands and voice, to ensure we don't sin in our anger and ask Him to help us understand why He seems to be letting evil have its day. So I guess we need to direct our questions that flow out of our anger more than the anger itself at God and let Him speak for Himself. And give Him my anger so that I am free to be His hands and voice in the darkness.
So much wisdom here! I especially like the point that God wants us to be angry becuase we help reflect Him to a broken world. Thank you!
Probably thinking about what God has done for us is the best antidote for anger at God – good suggestion!

The Creation of a Rapid Reaction Force by an Avantguard Group of Countries : a Proposal (2/3)
8 août 2008 , par Domenico Moro
The proposal contained in this document provides for the creation of a European Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) by an avant-guard group of European countries, as a first step towards a European policy of security controlled by a European Federal government. It is founded on the contents of the Reform Treaty (RT) recently approved in Lisbon. The words "Rapid Reaction Force" and "security", instead of "army" and "defence", are used in the conviction that a European security policy will be a structural pause compared to the pure policy of power which characterised each European country up to the first half of the twentieth century [1].
Thanks to the single currency the EU became a global actor on the monetary plane and now the Reform Treaty has created the conditions for the EU to make significant steps forward even in the sphere of security policy. The proposal here presented refers to the institutional innovations contained in the RT in which a qualified majority is scheduled for, and it presumes that they will form a legal base sufficient to allow an avant-guard group of countries of the Union to have a Rapid Reaction Force at the service of the European Council and, as set up in the RT, of the United Nations.
The implementation cost of the RRF is an issue for which only figures of gross estimate can be supplied. In order to provide for an evaluation, official sources relating to the extent of the force to be set up are taken into consideration as well as the estimate of the costs for troops, comparable to the American ones, for efficiency and effectiveness. T
he aim of the Helsinki European Council is the establishment of a force of 60,000 men capable of being deployed within two months and of remaining in the theatre of operations for about a year. As is well known, an equal number of men must be kept as reserves and the same amount must be in training, reaching thus a grand total of 180,000 men.
Conversely, as far as the estimates relating to the cost of a structure that meets American standards are concerned, the method followed shall be the one suggested by others which proposes to refer to the cost of a UK soldier, whose operational capabilities compare favourably to those of an American soldier. Thus the additional cost to be sustained with respect to the current average cost of a European soldier can be determined [2].
According to the data supplied by the European Defence Agency (EDA), the cost per head of a UK soldier is equal to € 107,000, whereas the average European cost is equal to € 52,000. Therefore the additional yearly cost, vis-à-vis the current one, necessary to reach a standard similar to that of a UK soldier, is equal to about 10 billion euros, 0.10% of the European GDP [3].
These figures do not include investment outlays, i.e. the cost difference between the cost for a European soldier (in which the investment outlay is equal to 24% of the total cost per head) and that of an American soldier (in which the investment outlay is equal to 63% of the total cost per head). In the case of a British soldier, the annual per head investment (also including running costs and maintenance costs for equipment and infrastructures) is equal to € 153,000, whereas the average European cost is equal to € 31,000 (the American one is € 224,000 per head) [4].
Therefore the additional investments which the European countries involved in the implementation of a structured cooperation should meet, in order to equal the British standard, should reach at full operations 22 billion euros per annum, 0,23% of the GDP [5]. Altogether the differential annual expenditure vis-à-vis the one presently sustained by European countries who shall decide to go ahead with the implementation of the RRF, would be equal to 0,33% of the European GDP.
Financing the setting-up of a Rapid Reaction Force [6]
If a group of Countries decides to initiate a permanent structured cooperation, this very group, by definition must also be willing to bear the weight of the costs. What can be checked is whether the RT provides for European mechanisms of financing, thus contributing to maintaining, within a solid supranational institutional framework the start up of structured cooperation by a limited number of Countries. At a subsequent stage this cost could be included in the European budget.
The importance of this passage is emphasized by the fact that it would be the real channel through which the European Parliament shall be able to control the use of the RRF. Though the RT does not provide a direct reference to the financing of a RRF and of a structured cooperation, nonetheless it does appear to introduce innovations as far as the financing of operations in the foreign policy and security sectors are concerned.
If it is true that art. 28, relating to funding, refers to decisions made by a qualified majority, it refers to missions provided for by the following art. 28A which are decided unanimously. However, an interpretation of the articles makes one think that the funds the Union, or an avant-guard of EU Countries, make available, can be used to finance a structured cooperation.
To sum up : compared to what has been established in European Treaties up to now, art. 28 provides for two channels to finance foreign policy and security. The first channel gives direct access to the allocation of funds from the Union budget for missions provided for in two distinct articles, 28A, par. 1 and 28B [7]. The second channel gives access to an "initial fund" created by the contributions of member States. This "fund" was established by a qualified majority decision and also concerns missions provided for in the two articles quoted above [8].
Apparently there does not seem to be a direct connection, on the one hand, between permanent structured cooperation, the financing of which is left to the participating States ; and, on the other hand, the resorting to European funds in the framework of the EU formed by 27 States.
One must however be aware of what the two articles state. First of all art. 28B, par. 2 claims : "The Council shall adopt decisions relating to the tasks referred to in paragraph 1, defining their objectives and scope and the general conditions for their implementation". And then in the subsequent art. 28C : "Within the framework of the decisions adopted in accordance with Article 28 B, the Council may entrust the implementation of a task to a group of Member States which are willing and have the necessary capability for such a task".
Since in both cases, contrary to what was done in art. 28A par. 2, the fact that the Council decides unanimously has not been specified, one may think that the contents of art. 9C may be applied, according to which "The Council shall act by a qualified majority except where the Treaties provide otherwise". On the other hand, the Protocol relating to the establishment of the permanent structured cooperation, refers to the missions contemplated in art. 28B, which does not specify that the decisions are made unanimously, and not to those contemplated in art. 28A, par. 1, which does specify that for their implementation the decisions are made unanimously.

[4] The cost of per head investments and the per head cost of management and maintenance of equipment and infrastructures are, in good measure, non homogenous costs. Nonetheless, in the case here examined, the latter may be presumed to be an indicator of the investments made in the past and incorporated into the current management
[5] To complete the information framework, other sources have tried to make an estimate on how much the investment necessary for the establishment of the RRTF would amount to. The estimates vary between 25 and 45 billion euros, to be divided over several years. See : CHARLES W., ZYCHER B., European Military
[6] About the financing of a European defence, see : CARDOT P., Dotons l'Union européenne d'un budget de PESD, in : Défense nationale, 2004.
[7] Art. 28, par. 3 : "The Council shall adopt a decision establishing the specific procedures for guaranteeing rapid access to appropriations in the Union budget for urgent financing of initiatives in the framework of the common foreign and security policy, and in particular for preparatory activities for the tasks referred to in Article 28 A(1) and Article 28 B. It shall act after consulting the European Parliament". 11 Article 28, par. 3, sub-section 2 and f., provides as follows : "Preparatory activities for the tasks referred to in Article 28 A(1) and Article 28 B which are not charged to the Union budget shall be financed by a start-up fund made up of Member States' contributions. The Council shall adopt by a qualified majority, on a proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, decisions establishing : (a) the procedures for setting up and financing the start-up fund, in particular the amounts allocated to the fund ; (b) the procedures for administering the start-up fund ; (c) the financial control procedures."
[8] Par. 1 of art. 28A provides for : "The common security and defence policy shall be an integral part of the common foreign and security policy. It shall provide the Union with an operational capacity drawing on civilian and military assets. The Union may use them on missions outside the Union for peace-keeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter. The performance of these tasks shall be undertaken using capabilities provided by the Member States." ; whereas art. 28B provides as follows : "1. The tasks referred to in Article 28 A(1), in the course of which the Union may use civilian and military means, shall include joint disarmament operations, humanitarian and rescue tasks, military advice and assistance tasks, conflict prevention and peace-keeping tasks, tasks of combat forces in crisis management, including peace-making and post-conflict stabilisation. All these tasks may contribute to the fight against terrorism, including by supporting third countries in combating terrorism in their territories. 2. The Council shall adopt decisions relating to the tasks referred to in paragraph 1, defining their objectives and scope and the general conditions for their implementation. The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, acting under the authority of the Council and in close and constant contact with the Political and Security Committee, shall ensure coordination of the civilian and military aspects of such tasks."

'Next Stop for Charlie' is offbeat global tour

In this Jan. 21, 2010 publicity image released by Mandt Bros. Productions, Neil Mandt is shown in a cage with a tiger during the taping of the travel comedy, "Next Stop for Charlie" in Pattaya, Thailand, airing Thursdays on Showtime at 11 p.m. EST.

by Lynn Elber
| December 3, 2010 8:00 PM
LOS ANGELES - Filmmaker, TV producer and world traveler Neil Mandt has seen the flip side of U.S. air travel security and safety procedures.
He's been through overseas airports lacking even metal detectors. He was on a plane bound for Paupua New Guinea that boasted a full-size raft, bolted in place of rows 18 to 26, to be used in case of an emergency landing at sea.
"The plane would have had to break up to get the raft out. That's how big it was," Mandt recalled.
His recent globe-hopping was in service of the Showtime comedy-adventure series "Next Stop for Charlie," airing 11 p.m. ET Thursday and created and produced with Neil's brother, Michael Mandt.
A follow-up of sorts to "Last Stop for Paul," the Mandts' well-received independent film, the Showtime series follows Charlie (Neil Mandt) as he searches for his wayward young cousin, college dropout Eric (Erik Adolphson), to haul him back home.
Eric is following his version of an international festival circuit, hop-scotching to cities where local celebrations are taking place. Charlie is in hot pursuit of Eric, and a good time.
With that bare-bones plot in place, each episode includes a real festival as backdrop and is improvised with locals, whether taxi drivers, bystanders or even police.
Mandt, who acts as star, sometime crew member and director, had a run-in with Thai authorities as he was filmed inside a tiger cage. He ended up at the police station but managed to convince officials that his project wouldn't demean the noble animal.
Every adventure, expected or not, is a candidate for the final cut.
Mandt's Charlie, a bathroom supplies salesman, and his lost, found and lost again cousin scramble through 10 countries in the series, including Colombia, Belgium, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Morocco and Turkey.
The on-the-fly production style - and a budget of between $7,000 to $15,000 per episode - called for scenes to be shot and then restaged and shot again from different points of view with one or two mini HD cameras and wireless mikes.
Besides Mandt and co-star Adolphson, there was a crew member on the madcap ride. At times, a passerby's help was enlisted, Mandt said.
The series, like the movie the Mandt brothers made before it, attempts to show what travel can be like when a visitor is immersed in the life of a country as more than a sightseer, said Neil Mandt, whose credits include Syfy's "Destination Truth" and ESPN's "Jim Rome Is Burning."
"There's nothing I have made that has had a bigger impact on people than my travel projects. Travelers say, 'Yes, that happens.' For people who want to travel, they say, 'I want that to happen,'" Mandt said.


Mechman Mesh Vape Kit by Rincoe has a unique and eronomic appearance of the mod. It comes with Mechman 2228W mod and 810 resin drip tip, which will bring you increased airflow and excellent appearance. Also the Mechman Tank is fit for single mesh coil and dual mesh coil.

Reuters – The UK Railways Pension Schemes, one of the UK's largest plans, has invested 65 million pounds in London-based asset manager Goodhart Partners' global long-short equity fund of hedge funds.
Railpen Investments, the fund manager of the industry-wide scheme with assets of over 15 billion pounds, has some 8 percent of its assets in hedge fund strategies.
"Goodhart's Long-Short fund offers large institutions exposure to small and specialist hedge fund managers, with the degree of governance and due diligence these allocations require," said Paul Jeffries, an investment analyst at Railpen.

Roman Polanski quotes
"Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling."
— Roman Polanski
"I can only say that whatever my life and work have been, I'm not envious of anyone-and this is my biggest satisfaction."
"Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater."
"If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children."
"I never made a film which fully satisfied me."
"I still had some honor... I still have some now."
"Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring."
"I did not have a reputation to defend."
"I want people to go to the movies. I am the man of the spectacle. I'm playing."
"My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way."
"You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity."
"I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line."
"In Paris, one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong, it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters, but the fact that you speak with an accent."


From the time I was 12, I always was a little sadder than most kids.
I struggled with anxiety as a child as well. I remember fearing for my grandmother to leave for work as a kid and the fear of her getting into a car accident.
I was a homebody and didn't go out anywhere due to low self-image and insecurities. I started taking anti-depressants at age 16 and to this day struggle with bouts of depression and anxiety but the medications have help deal with my struggles.
Then, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and social anxiety disorder and recently PTSD. I believe that counseling as well as medication helps to a point but will always face in some way the sadness.
Nevertheless, I hope that I am going to get better and I will start seeing the glass half full.


Suzann Rainone mugged me while Fire Surfing last weekend.
Originally published May 31st, 2009.
She arrived after a four day tow from Richmond CA. She is bound for the Port of Los Angeles and life as a museum. This is a very good thing.
A little over 4 years ago, The Wife and I signed up to be sponsor parents for the Academy. Sponsors act as a sort of home away from home for a midshipman, a refuge from life on The Yard. Yesterday, we watched as 4 of the most extraordinary young women we've ever met walked across the stage to receive their diplomas and took the Oath of Office as commissioned officers the Navy and Marine Corps (hoo-rah).
A midshipman's first, or Plebe, year is a tough, demanding ordeal, both mentally and physically. There is also almost no escape from it. The Plebes are only allowed liberty on a handful of weekends that first year, but whenever she was able, we brought her home for the weekend to relax. And wear something other than her uniform.
One of the things we were told during sponsor orientation was "if you feed them, they will come". How true that was. We love to cook, and are always looking for new things to try. By the end of Plebe year, we had 3 additional Mids making semi-regular visits to our home. The more the merrier.
So much has happened over the past 4 years. Countless loads of laundry, dozens of trips to Brewster's for ice cream, way too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy (are you sure there's nothing on the Military Channel you'd rather watch?), rugby games followed by washing the team's uniforms. Aggie had just learned how to walk when we med our mids on sponsor introduction day, and today marks her last day of pre-school. She has grown up with the mids, and thinks of them as big sisters. By the way, there's nothing cooler than a sofa cushion fort made by a bunch of engineering students. The Pirate arrived towards the end of their junior year, and all the mids were so helpful in those chaotic first months. The Pirate is as comfortable with them as she is with us.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the mid's "real" families, who obviously did all of the heavy lifting in raising these women. We got more out of this experience than you did, and we'd be more than happy to do it all over again.
As of today, they are out of our nest, living on their own. Two have already left Annapolis and are en-route to their ships, one heads out the The Basic School in July, and the last departs in mid-August for Pensacola to begin flight school. That being said, there will always be room in our home and our hearts for them.
Congratulations to our "girls" and the rest of the USNA class of 2012. Welcome to the fleet!
Following on from my little pictorially supported jaunt through Suffolk, somewhere below, I have scribed up a bit more about me getting to know the new motorbike. It's over at my place. It also co-incided with the loss of a friend, the news of which I got this morning. Its a sad day, but at the same time I rejoice for him for reasons that will become obvious if you pop over to have a read. Cheers for now Chums, hope you enjoy the ride.

Pros and cons of hearing aids with rechargeable batteries
www.HealthyHearing.com
Hearing aids with rechargeable batteries are quickly becoming the more popular option
Contributed by Debbie Clason, staff writer, Healthy Hearing
Last updated March 26, 2022 2022-03-26T00:00:00-05:00
Hearing aids these days are powered by either one of two types of batteries: Disposable, removable "button" batteries or rechargeable batteries that cannot be removed.
Disposable hearing aid batteries are removable and require you to put fresh batteries in every few days to weeks, depending on your hearing aid.
Rechargeable means they can be docked on a charger at night and are never removed from the device. You may hear this style referred to as "rechargeable hearing aids" or "hearing aids with rechargeable batteries"—these are the same thing.
Rechargeable and disposable hearing aid batteries do exist, but they are uncommon. These batteries need to be removed and charged at least nightly, and replaced every few months. A separate charger is required.
As the technology improves, hearing aids with rechargeable batteries are quickly becoming the more popular option for many people. However, some people may prefer hearing aids with disposable batteries, depending on their circumstances.
What is a rechargeable hearing aid battery?
Rechargeable hearing aids have built-in batteries that do not require regular removal, unlike hearing aids with traditional disposable batteries. Instead of removing the batteries themselves, you dock your hearing aids each night on a charging unit, similar to how smartphones recharge.
Most rechargeable hearing aids are best-suited for people with degrees of hearing loss ranging from mild to moderate. However, rechargeable "power" hearing aids for people with severe to profound hearing loss are available from some brands.
Should I get a hearing aid with rechargeable batteries?
If you're ready for rechargeable hearing aid batteries, switching is more complicated than simply going to the drugstore and purchasing rechargeable button batteries in the correct size. These don't exist.
Instead, the best thing you can do is talk to your hearing healthcare professional about purchasing new hearing aids that are already equipped with rechargeable batteries.
Hearing instrument
specialist Tim Cross
So how do you decide if rechargeable hearing aids are right for you? It's a personal decision based on preferences and finances. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of hearing aids with rechargeable hearing aids can go a long way to helping you and your hearing care practitioner pick the best style for you.
Advantages of using rechargeable batteries
Long shelf life. Current generations use lithium ion batteries, which can hold a charge for up to 30 hours and last approximately five years before they need to be replaced, although this can vary a lot depending on how much you use battery-draining features, such as wireless streaming. (Meanwhile, hearing aids with disposable batteries require you to swap in new batteries every few days to weeks, depending on the hearing aid model.)
Safer for kids. Disposable button batteries are extremely dangerous if accidentally swallowed by pets or kids, yet it happens fairly often. Rechargeable hearing aids don't pose this risk, unless the entire hearing aid is swallowed (which does happen!).
Environmentally friendly. Because you're recharging batteries instead of buying new ones, you're creating less waste. However, all batteries are environmentally hazardous when not disposed of correctly.
Easier to handle. People who have dexterity issues or those who don't want to worry about constantly buying and changing batteries might benefit from wearing rechargeable hearing instruments. That's because disposable batteries tend to be tiny, and the packaging can be difficult to manipulate.
"If peeling the tab off a battery and not dropping it, or being able to get it to fit into the compartment, is difficult for somebody, then rechargeable would be a huge advantage," said Tim Cross, a hearing instrument specialist and owner of Earzlink Hearing Care in Hillsboro, Ohio.
For example, a 90-year-old patient of Cross's found them to be invaluable. "Quite frankly, you could drive down the street and hear her television or pound on the door and she would not hear you," he said. "She had limited dexterity and sight — and wouldn't wear hearing aids because she couldn't change the battery."
He fit her with rechargeable hearing aids and kept an extra charger in his office so she wouldn't have to live without her hearing aids if a problem occurred.
"It totally changed her life," he said, "and gave her family peace of mind."
Disadvantages of rechargeable batteries
But not everyone is well suited to wear rechargeable hearing technology.
"For the most part, it's very simple and basic," Cross said, "but some people might not think beyond the normal routine and process (such as power outages or if the grandkids accidentally unplug the charging unit). Someone with a highly active lifestyle may need immediate access and not have time to recharge," he added. "In these situations, it's much easier to just pop in a new set of batteries."
Other disadvantages include:
Lack of user control. "In many rechargeable hearing aids, the battery is encased in the instrument and the user cannot remove it themselves," he said. "If it happens the battery has to be replaced, you usually have a down time where you don't have your hearing aids. That can be inconvenient because even a loaner (hearing aid) doesn't have your particular settings."
Dependency on a charging unit. It takes about three hours for most hearing aid models to recharge. "The battery does have to be recharged every single day," Cross said. "If you interrupt the charge cycle and assume your batteries are charged and fully functional and then get into your day, one of your instruments may stop working. You also have to deal with what happens if you forget your charger, it stops working or the cord goes bad. Most people don't carry an extra charger with them."
Additional upfront cost. Contrary to popular belief, rechargeable hearing aids aren't any less expensive than their traditional counterparts. Cross said that, although every hearing center sets its own policies, the cost of the charging unit ($250-$300) as well as the cost for replacement batteries ($25-$35) aren't typically included in the price of the hearing instruments. Over the lifetime of your hearing aids, though, you may spend less since you don't have to keep buying new batteries.
Fewer hearing aid styles to choose from. Most rechargeable hearing aids are worn behind-the-ear, connected to a small speaker that's worn inside the ear. If you're interested in smaller models that fit completely within the ear, you likely won't get to use rechargeable batteries. More: Pros and cons of common hearing aid styles.
Rechargeable hearing aids increasing in popularity
Cross predicts rechargeable hearing aid instruments will become even more commonplace as sound quality, battery efficiency and interchangeability, and cosmetic appeal continue to improve.
"Over 35 years I've seen rechargeability come out as a means of drawing people into the hearing aid marketplace," he said. "It resurfaces every seven years or so as something fresh and new and then it goes away. This last wave has become more of a mainstay. The current generation of technology has come close to meeting consumer requests, that's why I think it's going to become normalized moving forward."
His patients who wear rechargeable hearing aids "like them and are comfortable with them. They got them for a reason," Cross said. "They were appropriate for them and met the needs that they have."
Of course, there are plenty of other factors to consider when buying a hearing aid, so it's important to talk in depth with your hearing care professional about the best hearing aid for you—which may or may not come with rechargeable batteries.

NYC Parks Cuts The Ribbon On The Second Phase Of Renovations To Bushwick Inlet Park
http://www.nyc.gov/parks
Construction project includes green building, new playground, and accessible waterfront
NYC Parks Commissioner Veronica M. White today joined Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, State Assembly Member Joseph R. Lentol and Council Member Stephen Levin to cut the ribbon on a brand new headquarters building with community space and an accessible green roof in Bushwick Inlet Park. The $31 million construction project, funded by Mayor Bloomberg, also includes a new playground, and the creation of public access to the waterfront at the water's edge. The additions to Bushwick Inlet Park build on the 2005 Greenpoint-Williamsburg rezoning which creates a framework to provide continuous public access to the area's shorefront.
"All over Brooklyn – from Shore Road Park in the south to Bushwick Inlet in the north —waterfront parks are attracting pedestrians, picnickers, and sports enthusiasts to spend time outdoors," said Commissioner White. "The new waterfront Bushwick Inlet Park complements the existing soccer field by accommodating community art exhibitions, community meetings and public programming, a kitchen for catering public events, playground, public comfort stations and Parks district headquarters."
The facility includes an accessible green roof, which connects the multipurpose field area with a hilltop recreational space and playground. It is designed to achieve high environmental performance standards with a highly efficient heating-cooling system that uses geothermal wells, heat pumps and radiant floors, a green roof with a shade structure composed of photovoltaic cells that will provide solar energy power to the building, and a rainwater collection system to provide irrigation water to the green roof. This project is on track to receive LEED Gold or higher certification for its innovative sustainable design. The building was designed by Kiss + Cathcart Architects with Starr Whitehouse Landscape Architects.
Bushwick Inlet Park lies from North 9th Street to North 10th Street, between Kent Avenue and the East River. The site, a former rental car storage lot, is situated at the southern end of the planned park, and is adjacent to East River State Park. The first phase of Bushwick Inlet Park included the construction of a synthetic turf multipurpose field for soccer, football, lacrosse, field hockey, rugby, and ultimate frisbee. The soccer field opened in January 2010.
The Park received a 2008 Design Award from the Public Design Commission of the City of New York and the 2013 Honor Award from the NY Chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).
The 28-acre planned Bushwick Inlet Park is comprised of approximately 5.5 blocks along the bustling East River Waterfront. The first two sites that make up the park have already been acquired and the acquisition of a third parcel (Bayside Fuel) is underway and expected to be complete in 2015. With extensive community input and public review throughout the planning and development process, Bushwick Inlet Park is part of the City's historic investment in the creation, improvement and expansion of parks in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, as a result of the 2005 rezoning.

Exhibition "The World of Insects"
Photo - LMNH
Guided tours and lessons
In this exhibition, visitors are introduced to the unique characteristics and abilities of insects and the different ways in which they develop and are structured. The insects featured are of the kind that live in the natural environment and in people's homes, insect parasites that live on or in animals, and even domesticated insects, e.g. bees (Apis mellifera). Almost 1500 species of insects can be seen within the four rooms of the Entomology exhibition.
The showcase featuring the butterflies and moths of Latvia contains 220 species, many of them represented by both male and female specimens so that their differences in appearance can be compared. Colourful butterflies and moths of the world are displayed on a world map according to their geographic habitats. Mirrors at the base of the showcases make it possible to view the colouration of the butterflies and moths from all angles.
An entomologist's work table has been set up in honour of the entomologists who have contributed to the development of science in Latvia.
The exhibition was created in 2004, and renewed in 2018.

Revenue has stepped reasoning with regards to the definition of revenue. Revenue is defined as 'Income arising in the course of an entity's ordinary activities'. It is something but not the end, income on its own is defined as 'Increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in an increase in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants'.

In general terms, pension expense reported in the statement of profit or loss is driven by how much the pension liability increased during the year, net of returns on the plan's assets. Normally, a pension liability increases as employees earn additional future benefits from an additional year of service, and as they get closer to collecting retirement benefits. These factors also increase the pension expense in the statement of profit or loss.

Connecticut Hedge Fund Association and Inside Advantage PR Partner Up
PR Blog
Where Public Relations Gets It Wrong
Inside Advantage PR and the Connecticut Hedge Fund Association will be growing together, as both entities announced this week a strategic partnership deal.
The two parties will work on educating the public and policy makers to help foster a better understanding of hedge funds, from Wall Street to Main Street.
"This partnership comes at a critical moment for funds in Connecticut. The industry in the state is stable due to the fact that CT is home to many of the largest hedge fund firms. Post financial crisis, investors have found comfort in investing with larger more 'institutional' firms, and this has been a big factor in keeping the CT hedge fund industry steady," says Bruce McGuire, Connecticut Hedge Fund Association President.
The joining of the two longtime hedge fund allies comes as Greenwich continues to be a hotbed for alternative investors.
"Connecticut is home to approximately 980 funds managing a combined $570 billion in assets. Greenwich, where the majority of the funds are located is known internationally as 'the hedge fund capital of the world'."

MANILA, Philippines —Around four million devotees joined all activities of this year's Traslacion which celebrated the Feast of the Black Nazarene, Director Guillermo Eleazar, chief of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) said on Thursday.
Around 1.5 million devotees joined activities leading up to the Traslacion since December 31 until January 8, while another 2.5 million devotees joined from January 9 to 10, the NCRPO said.
The Traslacion is the commemoration of the transfer from Intramuros of the life-size image of the Black Nazarene to the Quiapo Church. This year's Traslacion procession went through a 6.1 kilometer route and lasted for 21 hours and seven minutes, Eleazar said.
According to Eleazar, the feast was generally peaceful, with only one pickpocketing incident reported. He said the suspect was arrested.
"They (devotees) owned this activity or program. Naging maayos dahil sa lahat ng concerned agencies ay ginawa ang kanilang mga assignment (It was peaceful because all concerned agencies fulfilled their assignment)," he told reporters.
Around 7,200 police officers were deployed to ensure the safety of the devotees, Eleazar said.
"Andito ang kapulisan [for] more than one day na walang palitan ng uniporme, walang tulugan, walang pahinga. I would like to commend ang ating kapulisan," he said.
Eleazar added that this year's Traslacion was better than last year's.
"Naging mas maayos ngayon but gusto pa natin mas pagandahin pa for Traslacion (It was peaceful this year but we want to make it better for the Traslacion)," he said.


While driving and or parking, it was difficult for the consumer to roll the windows up or down on the driver's side. The part was replaced three times. The window would only move about 1/4 an inch every minute or so intermittently. It was difficult to open roll down the window when going trough the toll booth. When the window was rolled down, it would take about 5-8 minutes to get it back up. GM suggested that this was normal. Other problems were: The right cargo door panels rubbed together and made noise, the seat belt light did not come on at times, there was a "whirring" noise when the vehicle was driven at 35 mph, the bar on the driver's side door did not have enough space for the consumer's hand to use it, the door locks would click when the vehicle was in motion, the mirror switch would work with the key in the off position, the left front window would stick at times, there was a clunk sound when the vehicle was placed in reverse at times, the right rear light was sometimes not bright enough, and the spring on the gas pedal broke.

Q: Replace File Path Text After Specific String I have an audacity.cfg file in which I want to script the substitution of two plugin paths. The paths were previously different, so I need to inset the updated ones. I will provide one below.
First, I want to locate this text, which begins the line in question:
FFmpegLibPath
Next, I want to replace that entire line with:
FFmpegLibPath=/Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/libavformat.55.dylib
That's it. It should not be so difficult, but it is. I have done lots of experimenting using sed and awk, but have not been able to get anything to work. While there are LOTS of examples of this online and in this forum, none of them have worked. They all produce errors relating to escape characters, as well as some random other things. I have spent hours experimenting and researching, but have not made any headway.
I realize that the slashes and spaces are likely causing issues, and I have spent considerable time attempting to solve this. I've tried all sorts of things, but as I've said, nothing works.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit:
I am running MacOS 10.10.5, and one of the things I saw in my research was using GNU sed, because some arguments do not work without it. While I am sure that would produce a better result, I cannot use it because my users would not have it. I think this is part of the reason why this is so difficult, because many of the solutions I have seen are utilizing arguments that I cannot use.

A: You can escape the special character (forward slash) and assign it to a variable:
REPL=$(sed 's/[\/]/\\&/g' <<< "/Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/libavformat.55.dylib")

& is sed's meta-character to represent the pattern that was matched.
sed -E "s/(FFmpegLibPath=).+/\1$REPL/" audacity.cfg

Option -E is used to support extended regular expressions
output:
etc
FFmpegLibPath=/Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/libavformat.55.dylib
etc
etc

If you preferred to maintain the updates in a separate text file:
cfg_update.txt
key_name1=value
key_name2=value
key_name3=value

# define delimiter
IFS=\=

cat cfg_update.txt | while read KEY VALUE; do
    sed -i -E "s/($KEY=).+/\1$VALUE/" audacity.cfg
done

option -i is used to edit file in place
Finally, be sure to make a backup before your tests, good luck!

A: If everything other fails, you always can use the old-school ed solution. :) :)
#!/bin/bash
{
printf 'H\n'
printf '/^FFmpegLibPath[ \t=]/\n'
printf '%s\n' c 'FFmpegLibPath=/Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/libavformat.55.dylib' . w q
} | ed -s "/path/to/audacity.cfg" >/dev/null

The quotes, spaces are mandatory.
The above searching for the line starting with FFmpegLibPath and followed by space or tab or =. So it tries avoid collisions with similar prefixes like: FFmpegLibPath2.
If such collisions are not possible, the above could be simply written as:
ed -s "/path/to/audacity.cfg" >/dev/null <<'EOF'
H
/^FFmpegLibPath/
c
FFmpegLibPath=/Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/libavformat.55.dylib
.
w
q
EOF

or
printf '%s\n' H '/^FFmpegLibPath/' c 'FFmpegLibPath=/Library/Application Support/audacity/libs/libavformat.55.dylib' . w q |
ed -s "/path/to/audacity.cfg" >/dev/null

Flood risk power cuts
In a 2,000-page report, the Climate Change Committee says flooding will destroy bridges – wrecking electricity, gas and IT connections carried on them.
The chairman of the committee's adaptation sub-committee, Prof Sir John Krebs, told BBC News: "Infrastructure could be affected in a way that interacts.
"So, if you take electricity supply, the delivery of fuel to power stations would be affected by flooding which would then affect electricity.
"Then look at flooding… if bridges are affected then they carry electricity cables and communications infrastructure, so we have to look not just at how each piece of infrastructure works but how they interact together.
"There could be a cascade of risks."
Dr Sari Kovats, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "We are far from prepared to deal with these changes.
"More heatwaves in the UK are also likely, yet there are no comprehensive policies in place aimed at reducing the risk of overheating in new and existing homes."
Among the other risks needing more action the committee mentions:
• Coastal change risks to communities, businesses and Power infrastructure which will in turn increase risks to Power Generation etc……
Climate change could have a domino effect on key infrastructure in the UK, government advisers have warned.

Q: Trying to query using PostgreSQL in R- ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying = integer I am using the PostgreSQL package to query a database via R. I want to pull all the columns from a data table, cond, where the column id is an observation ID key, and the vector of_interestis a subset of observation IDs I would like to have the information for. The of_interest vector in R looks something like this:
of_interest <- c(1:5)

I write a query and then execute it like this:
query = paste('SELECT *
              FROM cond
              WHERE id IN (',paste(of_interest,collapse=','),')')

COND = as.data.table(db.query(query, con=fia.con))

I then receive the following error:
Error in postgresqlExecStatement(conn, statement, ...) :
  RS-DBI driver: (could not Retrieve the result : ERROR:  operator does not exist: character varying = integer
LINE 4:               WHERE id IN ( 1,2,3,4,5 )
                               ^
HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.

Any idea what may be wrong here? In the past I could easily query based on ID by structuring the query as:
SELECT *
FROM cond
WHERE id IN (1,2,3,4,5)

Here are the results of sessionInfo()

Configuration.db.user.local <- "postgres"
Configuration.db.password.local <- "your password"

of_interest <- c(1:5)

              FROM cond
              WHERE id IN (',paste(of_interest,collapse=','),')')

data <- dbGetQuery(local_con, query)

Update:
It seems your filed is string. In this case try to use this piece of code:
expr = paste0("('",paste(of_interest, collapse="','"),"')")
query = paste("SELECT *
              FROM cond
              WHERE id IN ", expr)
