Blogging is growing in global recognition by advances. This is especially true considering the number of blogs online it happened in 1999 and the number online today. There are nearly as many fresh blogs smeintltd.com created each and every day for the reason that there were as a whole before sites became the media darlings they've turn into in the last five years.
There have been blogs about various interesting matters, ideas, and pursuits. You will find blogs about politics, laughs, movies, celebrities, shoes, home improvement projects; actually hobbies such as knitting and bowling make blog progresses.
The question becomes what are the causes that people produce a blog page. The reasons differ from person to person, however , there are a few that seem to be noticed among the many reasons and are among the most typically stated.
1) Bloggers get pleasure from feeling as if they've been noticed. This is actually a vital part of the blogging and site-building process. You have a message to share and a group with which to share your warning. Feedback by readers provides you, seeing that the tumblr, with approval and occasionally healthful debate to your statements, viewpoints, and beliefs.
2) Blogging allows bloggers to establish a virtual identification. For many this really is their means of announcing all their presence towards the world. Not only are they able to make themselves listened to, they are also capable of being seen for the person that stands apart among the many which is at the same time very much like the many. Expectations, fears, dreams, ambitions, skillsets, and failures define us all. Many of us use our blogs to widen on many definitions with which we measure ourselves.
3) Some people will be wise enough to use their very own blogs designed for introspective purposes. By blogging and site-building we find out more on ourselves. By simply challenging yourself to grow, expand, and experience the euphoric pleasures, we are as well inviting yourself to take a look within for insights regarding our own naturel. We often learn about our own feelings, misconceptions, ideals, and areas when we open up mindedly analyze the feelings and thoughts of others, we all learn so much even more when we take time to seek our personal thoughts and feelings and not only put sayings to them but as well to place these people in framework.
4) To learn. It sounds fairly simple really and yet is something which so many people disregard as a valid reason for running a blog. By learning the material that any of us write about, we regularly learn elements we did not know at the start. Every fresh nugget of information leads to a second and then an additional.
5) To keep files of our history. Whether going through your brilliant blog is a politic blog that is certainly recording current events in politics or a blog of your favorite artists, music organizations, songs, catalogs, etc . It is just a record that could be kept for the future. It is an profile of your history and a owner of your recollections.
Everyone has a unique reason for making a weblog and some people actually have the key reason why they make a blog and non-e of these mentioned above are required. Your advantages for blogging are yours and yours on it's own and just seeing that valid every other.
Whether you are going to blog for private or business reasons, the best reason to make a blog, in my opinion, is to have fun and find new friends.

Gender and e-waste management in Africa
By Prof. Oladele Osibanjo
Basel Convention Coordinating Centre for the African Region in Nigeria
Exposure to hazardous substances in and around sites dismantling electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) poses numerous health and safety risks for waste collectors, recyclers and neighbouring communities. Marginalized populations disproportionately suffer the negative effects of improper e-waste practices. Unsound e-waste management practices in the informal sector of the economy involve hundreds or thousands of poor people, many of whom are unaware of the hazards of exposure to toxics in e-waste. The most vulnerable groups, especially children and old women, are actively involved in e-waste scavenging and crude recycling activities especially in African countries such as Ghana and Nigeria.
The engagement of men, women, boys and girls in informal e-waste management differs from country to country, however some common trends can be observed. A study on the informal e-waste management sector revealed that the e-waste refurbishing, collection and recycling sectors in Nigeria are dominated by adult and child male workers. There are hardly any women working in refurbishing and repair operations itself. Nevertheless, women make up a significant share of the workforce among the waste picker communities on dumpsites, where women and girls are estimated to make up around 30% of the workforce.
Nigeria and Ghana do not have any formal e-waste recycling facilities, so e-waste is dumped in existing municipal waste dumpsites in urban centres, especially in Computer Village, Ikeja and Alaba international market in Lagos; and in Agbogbloshie in Accra. At these dumpsites, women and children (often young boys) are e-waste pickers who scavenge for any valuable components, earning between USD 1 and USD 3 a day by collecting components. The children burn cables and wires to recover reusable metals like copper wire. In the process, toxic chemicals including dioxins and metals are released into the surrounding environment. Girls hawking water in polythene sachets sell water to the boys to put out burning cables as burnt copper wires fetch less money compared to un-burnt copper.
While the scrap metal sector often uses child labourers, child labour is uncommon in the refurbishing sector. Collection and dismantling activities are carried out by children from the age of 12, however younger children from the age of 5 are sometimes engaged in light work, including dismantling of small parts, such as the recovery of copper containing deflection coils in the cathode-ray tube monitors, and sorting of materials. Children were also seen to be involved in e-waste collection and burning activities. In Ghana, field observations and Greenpeace reports confirmed the employment of children, mostly boys, sometimes as young as 5 years old and mostly between 11 and 18 years in the informal e-waste recycling sector. Young girls aged between 9 and 12 years old were also observed working as collectors, and in many cases as vendors of water sachets, at Agbogbloshie, Ghana.
Working conditions in the informal e-waste management sector are very difficult. Most of those employed in the e-waste recycling sector in Ghana, aged mostly between 14 to 40 years, were found to work for 10 to 12 hours per day, i.e. 300 to 360 hours per month. In the refurbishing sector, people worked between 8 to 10 hours per day or 210 to 260 hours per month. Furthermore, evidence suggests that incomes of children between 5 and 14 years old could be as low as USD20 per month in the collection sector, which is significantly lower the average income of USD 70 to USD 140 per month.
In areas where the informal e-waste recycling and refurbishing activities are centered, such as Agbogbloshie in Accra, Ghana and Ikeja Computer Village and Alaba International Market, Lagos, Nigeria, concentrations of copper, lead, zinc and tin can be in the magnitude of over one hundred times typical background levels. It is known that children, due to their hand-to-mouth behaviour, are one of the most vulnerable groups in areas where soil and dust are contaminated with lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes leads to the underdevelopment of brain of children, hence causing intellectual impairment.
A report by the Shantou Medical University Hospital in November 2003 found a high incidence of skin damage, headaches, vertigo, nausea, chronic gastritis, and gastric and duodenal ulcers, especially among children and women in Guiyi, China, who recycle circuit boards and plastic. Another study has revealed e-waste labourers in China have very high concentrations of toxic flame retardants in their bodies. This situation could already exist in the African region among e-waste scavengers.

The infant sons of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Hamor, John, aged two years and George, aged five months, were burned to death in a fire that destroyed their camp home at Bayside Friday afternoon.
Mr. Hamor, whose home is in West Eden, but who is well known in Bar Harbor where he has lived from time to time, was working for the Morrison Lumber Co., operating a portable mill at Bayside and was occupying a small camp near the mill, having moved his family there but a few days before.
Friday afternoon, while Mr. Hamor was at work, Mrs. Hamor left the two children asleep in a bunk and went to another camp only a few feet away to see a sick neighbor. Returning to her camp in a few minutes, she found the whole interior in flames. It was impossible to reach the children.
mother Elnora "Emma" May ?
The camp was destroyed. The charred bodies of the little victims were found where the bunk had been, indicating that they had not been near the stove, and that they were mercifully smothered before the flames reached them. It is believed the fire must have caught from a spark from the stove.

Natives conditioned to reject language
Keeping a language alive: Co-founder of Blackfoot immersion school in Browning visits UM this weekKipp told of facing the wrath of Blackfeet who told him point-blank that speaking the native language was the devil's work. He was called a mercenary, bent on exploiting the language in order to sell it.
It wasn't, "Hey, you shouldn't do that," Kipp said.
"It was, 'What the hell are you doing? Who in the hell do you think you are? What are you trying to be - a big Indian and steal everything?' "
Perhaps most troubling was the notion that the Cuts Wood School, a K-8 institution at which only the Blackfoot language is spoken, was out to harm the children.
"I think this really reflects the educational standards of Montana, and it's certainly an American philosophy, that the only route to success is an English-speaking trek," he said. "Anything less, or anything different, is a serious mistake."
Some saw Cuts Wood School as promoting something bordering on child neglect.
"The fact that you would risk your child's mental stability by proposing to have your child talk in an archaic language is close to pure negligence," he said, repeating one charge he heard.
But time and research have proved the language immersion school's value.
Three of the school's graduates are now in college. Others have scored well in testing, including four at off-reservation high schools in Cut Bank, Valier and Billings.
A master's study by a University of Montana psychology student in 2003 presented what Kipp called a "very powerful case" that Cuts Wood students actually outperform those with public school backgrounds.
"These children have been schooled in a program that never gave them a formal English language, yet they go into public schools and excel as English-based students," he said.

The Acquity UPLC Sample Manager injects the samples it draws from microtiter plates or vials into the chromatographic flow stream. A locating mechanism uses a probe to access sample locations and draw sample from them. In the needle overfill load-ahead mode, the sample manager can perform an injection in approximately 15 seconds. The first injection requires additional overhead time.
The sample manager accepts standard footprint plates (5.03 ±0.02 inch × 3.365 ±0.02 inch), that conform to ANSI standards (maximum height = 2.2 inches, including covers). You may program any combination of these plates and vial holders for automated sample processing. Samples are loaded into the sample manager via the front door or the optional sample organizer, which transfers samples back and forth between the two instruments. The sample manager can maintain samples at any temperature between 4 to 40℃ in 25℃ or less ambient conditions.
The sample temperature control is settable in 0.1℃ increments (assumes an ambient temperature of 25.0℃). At an ambient temperature of 21.0℃ or lower the sample manager will maintain the temperature of the sample compartment down to 4.0℃ with a tolerance of -2.0/+6.0℃, when configured with the maximum number of vials and/or plates.

For his 21st birthday in 1929, Carl Laemmle, Jr., received an unusual birthday gift. His Dad gave him Universal Studios.
The guy everyone THOUGHT was the heir apparent to Carl Laemmle, Sr., got relegated to doing B-grade pictures, as Junior jumped in with both feet and took complete control. And he knew precisely what he wanted to make; a short list which included "Dracula". Junior really got a kick out of horror tales.

"American Politics" In General: "Democraticide" and [Republicancide]
Paul Edwards on 2020-03-07 2020-03-07
Natural disasters come barreling out of nowhere, unforeseen. Before they occur, cataclysms and catastrophic events of the physical world–tidal wave, earthquake, wildfire, eruption–are inconceivable. They blindside us utterly. Human caused calamities are quite another matter.
When Augustus Caesar, at the height of his imperial power, sent three crack legions–unmatched fighting units–into tribal wildland across the Rhine on a routine disciplinary action he never imagined they would march into Teutoberg Forest and never come out, slaughtered to the last man.
He didn't. But he could have. Because most tremendous shocks and dislocations in human society occur only after an accumulating series of predictive and prefiguring indicators, a data set that, properly assessed, points toward an inevitable outcome. The run-up is obvious in hindsight.
The Democratic Party apparatus, from its governing elite down through all its controlled and managed bureaus and affiliates, is vitally absorbed now in the effort to terminate the flourishing Presidential candidacy of Bernie Sanders. It believes it's engaged in a mortal effort to prevent a "democratic socialist" from betraying its governing ethos and subverting its creed. It is.
The tools it uses to achieve its end–the smarmy commentary and acid innuendo, the sly denigration and biased sniping, the techno manipulation and sleazy assaults on his character, sanity and goals–are the desperate tactics of a political elite that believes it's fighting for its life. It is.
What its ruling clique can't understand is that the mortal threat it faces is not Bernie and his politics. It's the fatal reality of what it has become.
Factional contradictions within a party are all manageable to a point. The charade of trampled, abandoned principles, cynical dissembling of intent, and cosmetic masking of policies as what they are not, can continue as long as key constituencies are mollified and rewarded.
When they can't be, when all pretense that they are is an open sick joke, when the yawning gap between its rhetoric and its reality is baldly, flamingly clear and all spoils accrue to a single, voracious controlling faction, the writing is on the wall.
The fact of Bernie brings the reality of the Democratic Party today into plain view and exposes, as an open casket does, the grisly horror within it.
The last fifty years have seen the appalling descent of the Party from one which could–when forced–take halting steps to benefit The People, to the money-hustling brothel it is now.
It was rare, but from public force plays came Social Security, Medicare, and the Civil Rights and Wilderness Acts. Those coerced deliveries of popular social good gave some color to its claim to be the "Party of the People". There has been none for fifty years.
The Vietnam debacle did us irreparable harm in many ways but one most prominent was that, with the total U.S. takeover by the corporate oligopoly and the War Machine, Democrats who ran opposing them were pulverized.
The answer to that in the minds of the Dem politburo and Bill Clinton was to move all in after money and just bullshit the proles because, hey, they have to stay with us anyway. We're nicer than those other pricks.
It made perfect sense to the corporate mind. Cater to the massive bucks of Wall Street and the War Machine, befuddle the dim, sappy, declining middle class with pleasant, polite, high-minded blather, and cut the poor, ill, elderly, and immiserated dead. They have no money to give. They don't matter.
Between the glib, ingratiating, snakeoil poster boys for faux progressivism, Clinton and Obama, the transition was made.
The Party became the toy of the Big Kahuna donors of the Oligarchy while its traditional electoral base–ordinary, working people–like tipsy, seduced debutantes, surrendered and embraced the two Prom Kings it adoringly permitted to fuck them.
But America finally got a belly full of it, and the inevitable reckoning came: enter Trump and his coven of inverts, sociopaths, and kookball Christer warlocks. And into that resulting chaos rode Bernie, the Knight of Flaming Social Equity, wielding his magic sword, Medicare For All.
Where does this face-off go? First, there is the dingbat Slough of Despond of our half-assed primary maze for Bernie to negotiate, with one of two results: he gets a clear majority of delegates or he doesn't.
If he does, he's nominated. If not, he gets brokered out at the convention and that ends his threat… but not their problem. That just moves it closer to endgame.
Because Bernie's damage to the big bosses is already done. In the '16 race, his treacherous sabotage by the Party machine in favor of Hillary was revealed for the world to see.
By that, and in denigrating him and his ideas, intensifying now many fold, he has consistently shown them up for what they are: a second-string party of Big Money, of the .0001%, of the War Machine, banking/finance thieves and pirates, and the Vampire Squid of remorseless Capitalist exploitation that has sucked the economic life out of The People, raped and fouled our world, and sold our children's futures. That exposure can't be eradicated, regardless of what happens to Bernie.
The Democratic Party has ingeniously arranged two ways to fail, one odds on, the other a real long shot, but either will destroy it in its current form.
If the combine of reactionary nonentities who bombed, with Mike Millions, and vindictive team mole Warren, deny Bernie his majority, then the Party will nominate its flaccid, fatuous Nowhere Man who will be joyfully flogged by Trump, beaten like the vacuous drum he is. In that event, the Party dies of permanent 1% donor withdrawal and mass youth abandonment.
If, spectacularly, Bernie somehow fights through the blazing broadsides of his Party to nomination, he will thrash Trump against the open opposition of his own power elite. When elected, the Party, with its traditional voter base energized but completely alienated from the official apparatus, will be riven and dismembered, which will mean formation of a real progressive party.
Contrary to popular belief, parties do die. The Federalists did. The Whigs did. And the Democrats have every confidence they can do it, too. And they should. A more sleazy, cynical betrayal of a mass voting body has perhaps not been seen since the Reichstag Fire.
When the nation demanded a party dedicated to the health, prosperity and welfare of a yearning citizenry, what it got was vile betrayal and cowardly abandonment by Democrats, who sold every iota of concern for Americans for the money of a grasping, visionless, suicidal Capitalist oligarchy.
So… as The Bard put it, "Now blow wind, swell billow, and swim bark, for the storm is up, and all is on the hazard".

This year, Wyoming women earned 68 percent of men's salaries on average. That's according to a just released (October) study by the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, writing for the state Legislature. Was anyone surprised? I doubt it. We've been at or near the bottom of the wage gap scale nationally for decades.
It did set me wondering about my own wage gap experiences, so I ran comparative figures on the salary differences I faced in my first real job in 1963, as a CIA operations trainee. That result did surprise me. It averaged out at 65 percent. Not much has changed in 55 years for Wyoming women, has it?
Back in 1963, of course, I knew better than to complain. "You were lucky we hired you at all," some said. Others alleged that I was stealing food from the mouths of a deserving man's children — a man whose place I had taken. Besides, I was in a man's job and would end up like all other women, barefoot and pregnant.
I laughed, not caring. They didn't understand. I was a Wyoming girl. I'd grown up with guns and could go home if I wanted time on the firing range. I'd ridden alone and camped in the wilderness. As for packing parachutes, I had no intention of becoming a paratrooper.
What I also failed to see was how much those "can/may nots" would cost me over my 31 years in experience, opportunity and money. The dollar sum, in fact, is so outrageous that it's jaw-dropping.
But that was a lot of water under the bridge and 55 years ago. In 1963, a woman needed permission and a male co-signer — legally — to do things like get a mortgage or a car loan. It was a period when the female ideal wore heels and nylons with perfectly straight seams, kept her waist wasp-thin with a girdle, and hobbled herself with a tube skirt.
Lack of equity was everywhere, but it was 1963, the year we got the Equal Pay Act, which at least was a big step in the right direction. Still, it took more years and more laws to hold employers accountable and make hiring and the workplace somewhat equal.
Yes, 55 years have passed. Around us, the country has seen a seismic change. Women wear pants; girdles belong in museums. Ladies pilot space shuttles, run Fortune 500 companies, sit in Congress and get nominated for president.
But here? Our seemingly intractable wage gap is ironic in a way, for Wyoming women really do all the things my early male colleagues claimed I couldn't. We use firearms, go hunting, survive in the wilderness, enjoy parachuting as a hobby and perform a host of male-stereotyped jobs. Is there a ranch woman who hasn't spent a freezing night out calving or had a blizzard blow down on her while she was moving hay or herds? Is there a trucking company that doesn't employ women? I could go on.
Really? I don't know if that's true or not. Maybe it is. What I do know is that for the genders to work together, earning the same wage, men need to be comfortable speaking freely with women in the room while women must be at ease being there, knowing their views are welcome and respected.

Grad Students Are Employees, Too
By scott-rosenberg

Unions win admission to Columbia. The National Labor Relations Board ruled Tuesday that graduate students and teaching assistants have the right to unionize at private universities (The New York Times). The Columbia grad students who won the case say it's less about wages than issues of power and independence and their ability to protect themselves in the "corporatized, hierarchical" world that their university has become. The university says the grad students should be viewed primarily as students; the NLRB disagreed, ruling that if they get paid and supervised like other employees, then, like other employees, they should be able to join a union, too. The students join employees of some digital media outfits in the "unions aren't as dead as you thought" parade. The NLRB's move is a sharp reminder to companies and institutions of all stripes: share power and decision-making with stakeholders, or don't be surprised when they organize.

EpiPen train wreck shows how broken healthcare pricing is. EpiPens are easy-to-use quick-injection devices that save the lives of children and other people who are prone to sudden allergic reactions that block their breathing. The medicine in them — epinephrine — costs about $1. But one company, Mylan, has a monopoly, and it has aggressively marketed EpiPens (Gizmodo) while raising their price roughly six-fold in the past few years (Forbes). An EpiPen two-pack (the only kind available) now costs about $600. People need to keep lots of them around, and they expire every year. So, just another pharma price-gouging tale, right? Here's the twist: Mylan gives patients discount coupons that cover their copayments, so in theory the customer shouldn't care about the price— only insurance companies are on the hook. But we've spent the last decade pushing people into high-deductible insurance plans,on the theory that, if patients have some skin in the cost game, they will help introduce market discipline. That's exactly what's happening: Those sticker-shocked insurees are either raising a stink or forgoing the purchase entirely. Congress is up in arms, too, which surely isn't what Mylan wanted. (Its CEO is the child of a West Virginia senator.) Moral: A company that views the health marketplace as an arena for maximum profit extraction and puts lives at risk will end up a pariah.
Universal basic income has friends on the left. "Just give people money" is an attractive proposition for people across the political spectrum. The progressive-left vision of the basic income concept is to "decouple money from work" (The Nation). That means, among other things, abandoning the notion that work is punishment — which goes all the way back to Genesis and the Eden myth. It also means dismantling the "punish the idle" school of "poor relief" and welfare, which has insisted that any anti-poverty scheme be made less attractive than the worst available job. The authors don't give much thought to the dignity of work and the power of self-determination that a good job can bring; they imagine a world where we use the time a basic income frees up to build communities and care for one another. Of course, you can also imagine the flowering of a creative renaissance (Singularity Hub). Or, certainly, it's possible that we'll realize that we miss our old day jobs. But wouldn't it be fun to find out?
Is this "restaurant recession" for real? Recently talk of a "restaurant recession" began to trickle across the internet, fueled by some market-research data points. If such a trend were underway, it would be just the kind of distant-early-warning recession signal that economists look for. But the picture turns out to be more complex and murky (The Washington Post). Maybe people are cutting their dining-out budget. But maybe groceries just look like a better deal right now. Or maybe we're collecting our statistics from big chains that are failing to attract new waves of younger customers. When you spend your lunch dollar at a new joint like Sweetgreen, you're not spending it where you used to. A slowdown at the big publicly-traded chains that the market-research people track could easily mean that some innovator is speeding up.

You may have noticed them here and there in the northwest Como area, small houses situated much farther back from the street than their neighbors.
Some of these probably were the "garage homes" of a century ago, the idea being that their owners would build and live in them until they could afford a main house on their property. For one reason or another, some never got around to building the big house.
Following World War I, St. Paul had an estimated 100 garage homes with one of the largest groups of them clustered around the Hoyt Avenue and Chelsea Street intersection.
Technically, the homes were in violation of the city's building code—a garage wasn't supposed to be a long-term domicile—but times were hard and officials such as J.M. Clancy, commissioner of parks, playgrounds and buildings, tried to be understanding.
"We have had unusual conditions during the war and after it," he told the St. Paul Daily News in July 1921. "Regulations that might have been highly proper at other times might work injury to some people if enforced too strictly.
To obtain a building permit, he noted, sewer and water connections were required.
In that summer of 1921, a garage home had just been completed at Huron Street and Hoyt at a cost of $90 and two others were planned. And another home was under construction in a hayfield across Hoyt, even as the harvest went on around it.
Albert Larson, a carpenter, owned one of the garage homes and his wife told the newspaper reporter that she liked it just fine.
"We lived in a flat and paid $47.50 rent," she said. "The landlord wouldn't fix the place at all. It didn't even have a cupboard. We moved out here and we like it much better.
"We have one room, 20 x 20 [feet], and another 10 x10 [feet]. So we have lots of room. The material cost $400 and my husband did all the work," she noted.

Thank you, Tom! The area we call "Bugleland" really has a fascinating past.
October 1, 2016 at 12:18 am.10.
We're at 1568 Huron and our current garage was built about the time you mentioned. Our home was built in 1928 I believe by the Fitzgerald's. The second owners were the Dahle's. We purchased the home in 1967 (the third owners). So your article was of some interest.
Thanks for doing all the history research on the neighborhood!

Google Open-Video Codec Tries Something New!
In order to encourage developers and experiments, Google has opened a new branch of VP8 code tree. This action will help developers and coders to use the extended branch of VP8 to provide enhancements and improvement to the present coding.
At present, the format of video streaming is fixed with VP8 bit stream. Now even while the branch of VP8 will focus on encoder and decoder tweaking, the main tree will follow the same format and bit stream. The experimental branch, most likely to be called VP9, will be focusing more on future versions of the same codec, while also looking for changes in the bit stream. According to Google, in order to keep the main codec stable while also looking for further improvements, they have added a new branch. So while the improvements and experimentation takes place with the new branch, the main version remains stable, keeping on with the performance. The users of the WebM community can easily use the unstable or added branch of codec VP8 and suggest changes and additions for better video codec, while also fighting the bit stream constraints. Once the experimental branch shows better performance, a new version of the codec will be introduced. The developers of Google are already on to the task of investigating and evaluating changes to the existing codec.
However, the question of finding a backing with the vendors in the market is a big question. While Mozilla and Opera are backing WebM, Apple and Microsoft are still sticking with H.264, a codec provided by MPEG LA. Of these, Microsoft has agreed to allow the users to use WebM if they wish. It will nevertheless, keep backing H.264. It is important to remember here that Apple and Microsoft are both the members of MPEG LA community backing H.264. MPEG LA too has announced its efforts to create a patent pool for VP8. If this happens, however, Google's efforts to make a royalty free codec will go down the drain.
Google has already started the process of encoding larger videos using VP8. While the process has started with YouTube, several other developers are working towards developing hardware acceleration for the codec. According to the company, even though not many users are into employing hardware acceleration for videos, the market is seeing an increase in the number of such users. Therefore, it is best to begin finding ways to cater to such users as it is one of the rapidly growing segments.

Q: How do we fetch real time messages from RabbitMQ queue without having any delay in .NET? I have written code to fetch messages from RabbitMQ queue and executing that program every 5 minutes by adding in task scheduler.
But, this is not realtime processing. It has delay of 5 min.
I want to make it process in realtime. As on someone add message in RabbitMQ Queue .NET program should immediately pick it for further processing.
Any pointer would be appreciated.

A: I guess you are not talking about true realtime but getting the message as quickly as possible.
This is done by using EventingBasicConsumer in RabbitMQ
var consumer = new EventingBasicConsumer(model);
consumer.Received += (ch, ea) =>
    {
       try
       {
            var body = ea.Body;
            var message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(body);

        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e);
            throw;
        }
    };
channel.BasicConsume(queueName, false, consumer);

It's a big day for The Awl. The site, which began looking for a new editor months ago, might have finally found one in Matt Buchanan, who left The New Yorker to come aboard. One doesn't just leave The New Yorker without the promise of something big, do they? As of now, there's no word on exactly what Buchanan will be doing at The Awl.
Further muddying the waters is the fact that John Herrman is joining Buchanan at The Awl. As Capital New York notes, Buchanan and Herrman worked together at BuzzFeed's tech vertical, and both are former Gizmodo editors.
Maybe Buchanan isn't The Awl's new editor, and he's teaming up with Herrman to launch a new tech site for The Awl? Or maybe Buchanan is The Awl's new editor and Herrman is heading up the new tech site by himself? Or maybe they were both hired because they make excellent smoothies???
Those are all legitimate questions. We're reached out to Choire Sicha, The Awl's founder, for answers. We'll update when we hear back.
Sicha, in a note on The Awl, explained that Buchanan and Herrman will both be running The Awl, starting next month. There will not be a tech vertical. Click through for Sicha's full memo.

Like many kids, I didn't even know how to play the TCG; I just enjoyed collecting and trading the cards. As an adult, I can better appreciate the strategic aspects of the game and still love to scour through cards and find the best of the best.
EX Sandstorm continued EX Ruby and Sapphire's tradition of adding powerful EX pokemon, cards that wield greater strength but yield two Prize Cards to your opponent when defeated. Sandstorm also debuted creatures with more than 120 HP and Retreat Costs higher than four, both firsts for the TCG.
Which monsters reigned supreme? These are the six best pokemon from EX Sandstorm!
Intimidating Fang (Poke-Body) Reduces incoming damage by 10 while Arbok is out. Also applies to your Benched Pokemon!
Toxic (3 Energy) Nicks for 20, then Poisons the opponent, but they must take 20 instead of 10 damage between each round!
Arbok's Toxic quickly fells foes while Intimidating Fang helps your team survive. A low Retreat Cost enables a "Toxic and Retreat" strategy against big threats. Also, consider using a Double Colorless Energy to wield Toxic sooner.
A couple things to note here. Kabutops is actually a Stage 2, despite Kabuto only evolving once. Why? In the TCG, Kabuto itself is a Stage 1, evolving from the Mysterious Fossil card, which counts as a Basic Pokemon. Also, despite Kabutops being a Water type here, it requires some Fighting but no Water Energy, meaning it synchronizes better with Fighting decks.
Hydrocutter (1 Energy) Flips a number of coins equal to the number of Energy on Kabutops, up to three. Each Heads scores 40 damage!
Spiral Drain (4 Energy) Blasts 70 damage, then heals up to 20 from Kabutops.
Hydrocutter is very strong for a 1 Energy move, and once Spiral Drain unlocks, Kabutops lands insane damage while simultaneously healing. Again, a Double Colorless helps use Spiral Drain quickly. An impressive card, but be aware Kabutops has no Resistances and two Weaknesses.
Suctions Cups (Poke-Body) Prevents the opponent from retreating while Cradily is out.
Lure Poison (1 Energy) First, you may (but don't have to) switch the Defending Pokemon with a Benched one. Regardless of your choice, the opponent becomes Poisoned.
Spiral Drain (3 Energy) Like Kabutops EX, this attack heals 20 damage, but now only deals 50. That's still pretty impressive, especially since the attack costs less Energy and stems from a non-EX card.
Cradily prevents retreating, switches foes as it pleases, and accumulates formidable damage while healing. Yet again, a Double Colorless Energy accesses Spiral Drain in fewer turns.
Safeguard (Poke-Body) Prevents all effects of attacks, including damage, to Wobbuffet from EX Pokemon!
Flip Over (3 Energy) Inflicts 50 damage, but deals 10 to Wobbuffet.
A surprisingly strong card even against non-EX foes, Wobbuffet bolstered any Psychic deck. Say it with me people: A Double Colorless Energy unlocks your attack sooner.
Confuse Ray (1 Energy) Nicks for 20, and flips a coin. Heads Confuses the opponent.
Energy Crush (30 Damage) Obliterates foes by dealing 20 damage plus 10 for each Energy on all their Pokemon.
A) Be extremely powerful if your foes have several Energy attached.
B) Be mediocre, but without much Energy, your opponent can't really counterattack.
Either situation puts you at a huge advantage, especially if you use a Double Color- okay, okay, you've heard that tip enough. I'm sorry, but it applies to all of today's entries!
Aerodactyl has many advantages compared to other Pokemon EX of his day. He actually has a Resistance, and only has one Weakness (most had two). Additionally, his Retreat Cost is low, and he'll accept Energy of any variety, granting him access to any deck.
Primal Lock (Poke-Body) Prevents your opponent from playing Pokemon Tool cards, and discards any already in use by their team.
Supersonic (1 Energy) Deals only 10, but automatically Confuses the opponent!
Wing Attack (3 Energy) Simply slams foes for an impressive 60 damage.
Aerodactyl may not brandish as much HP as his fellow EX cards, but 100 still lasts awhile. Plus, he doesn't have to bother with evolving, and completely blocks opposing Pokemon Tools while utilizing formidable attacks, making him the best Pokemon from the Sandstorm set.
Which card do you favor?
Sandstorm reinvented the TCG by breaking limits and reducing emphasis on luck, making the competitive scene a new and enjoyable experience. Feel free to vote for your favorite entry, and I'll see you at our next card countdown: the EX Dragon set!


Infectious diseases are a major threat to individuals with immunodeficiency. They get the same infectious diseases as healthy people, and in addition, they are much more susceptible to reactivation of latent infections, and organisms of low virulence generally harmless to others. Prevention of infectious diseases in AIDS patients is key to improving the quality and duration of their lives.
■ Bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses can all cause life-threatening diseases in AIDS patients. Name a fifth kind of infectious agent that can do the same.
■ The disease pneumocystosis mainly involves which part of the body?
■ Why should raw or uncooked meat not be eaten?

Chiptune is such a strange idea to me, even at this point. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. It's a mood thing I guess. When I heard this, it was just so annoyingly cute (but charming because of this), that I couldn't stop listening. Granted, it's not the best thing ever, but when I was in the mood for it, it hit the spot.


Oh man, I'd have killed my mom. I'm glad I went to college in the 90s!
Yikes!! I hope her mom writing in doesn't get back to this poor girl, although I do really like the columnist's response that she provided. I think the daughter really needs to assess if she feels absolutely zero connection to the group and its members. But with that said I think the daughter needs to talk to someone to work through some of her issues resulting from previous bullying.
I echo what you're saying Shadokat when I was in school and things didn't go as planned I didn't get the oh poor you thing from my parents. It was more along the lines of "it just didn't work, chin up and move on."
I think this girl sounds like a lot of college freshmen.
Hah, hah. This article is what prompted me to check in on GreekChat!
I actually am appalled by Amy's response. Amy obviously knows nothing about Greek life or recruitment and honestly if you don't know anything about the subject, you really should keep your mouth closed. As an advice columnist, why she chose this particular letter is beyond me. She should have chosen something she knew about. If she was pressured to respond to this letter, she should have taken the time to actually research Greek life, sororities and recruitment.
Show me a girl who wasn't bullied in middle school and I'll show you the Queen B of them all!
I truly believe there's nothing scarier than a pack of ~12 year old girls.

> I've been a user of rancid for a few years now and absolutely love it. When I show colleagues a simple ViewCVS webpage that tracks the entire configuration of the network, they all want it installed in their network.
> I'm planning to branch version 2.3.1 to add an option to store configurations in Subversion as opposed to CVS.
> Subversion is meant as a replacement for CVS and fixes a lot of annoyances with CVS while adding some very compelling features, the most compelling of which is that the repository is tracked by a global revision number, as opposed to individual revision numbers for all files. That means that you can track the "state" of your network, so you can see how the network looked at revision 1415 or how it looked on 09/25/04 (I know the second part is possible in CVS, but it's much cleaner in SVN).
> It also allows version tracking on directories and easy moving and renaming of files while preserving the history, which has been a pain for me with rancid when a company wants to change its structure.
> If anyone is interested in RancidSVN (as I'm tenatively calling the branch) let me know and I'll give you access to my Subversion repository. Maybe if I keep it unintrusive enough the original authors might see fit to merge the SVN changes back so they become part of the original RANCID (as I said, I'm writing it so that it is a non-default option).

Lucas tips Liverpool youth team trio for future success
Glen Harrington
Which of these three players is best set for success at Liverpool?
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has lavished praise on three of his young team-mates, all of whom he believes have bright futures at the club.
Arsenal and Liverpool facing stiff competition from French champions for current Ligue 1 top scorer
Liverpool must battle Bundesliga trio in bid to sign Premier League hot-shot
A number of the Reds' youth team players have been training with Brendan Rodgers' side during the international break, and the Brazilian has been hugely impressed with the quality on show.
The 28-year-old singled out Jordan Rossiter, Jordan Williams and Sergi Canos for special praise. Rossiter and Williams made their debuts in the Capital One Cup tie against Middlesbrough last year, while Canos is still awaiting his first competitive appearance for the first-team.
Rossiter, 18, started and scored against Boro, while Williams, 19, came on as a second-half substitute and scored from the penalty spot as the Reds progressed to the next round.
Canos, 18, joined Liverpool from Barcelona in the summer of 2013, and has been one of the stand-out performers for our Under-21s so far this season.
Speaking about the trio, Lucas told our official website: "I think since Brendan came in, the young players have been getting a lot of chances, especially training with us.
"We can see a lot of young players coming in and a few of them have made their debuts. Jordan Williams and Jordan Rossiter both made their debut this season and there are a lot of other players that come in and train on a daily basis with us, so it's always good.
"We have some good players there, and I think with the way the club is moving, it's a great opportunity for young players now because we have an experienced group of players but also we have a lot of young players coming in.
"That gives them more hope to have a chance."

Slightly later than planned, we bring you a week of posts dedicated to women in positions of authority starting with a guest post by Memory Scarlett. Memory Scarlett reads a lot of comics. She writes about the experience on her blog, In the Forest of Stories, and tweets her comics-related feels on Twitter as @xicanti. She'd very much like to be BFFs with Carol Danvers and Jessica Drew.
Carol Danvers, codename Captain Marvel, isn't just a superhero with stellar powers: she's also an army officer with a talent for command. Whether she's heading the Avengers, as she does at the beginning of Brian Michael Bendis's run on Mighty Avengers, or serving as the organization's ambassador to the stars, as in Kelly Sue DeConnick's most recent Captain Marvel series, Carol takes charge.
She's earned the right to call herself Captain, and she keeps on earning it every day of her life.
Our next guest post comes from Lady Business regular, Memory Scarlett. Memory writes about books, television, and more at her blog, In the Forest of Stories. You can also find her moaning about her taco addiction and her various fictional preoccupations on Twitter as @xicanti. She's currently trying not to dive straight into an epic BTVS rewatch; when she loses the battle, Twitter will be the first to know.
I love a good villain as much as the next person, but I usually draw a blank when people ask me about my favourites. So many of the evil folks I latch onto are really antiheroes; the sort of characters who could just as easily switch sides, if they thought it might be to their advantage. They do ghastly things, but since they can also be sympathetic there's always that small hope they'll recognize the error of their ways and, like, stop being evil. It's rare for me to get truly excited about an out-and-out villain.
Glory, the antagonist of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's stellar fifth season, is the exception. She is an unequivocal villain, and I love her to death.
Prior to Glory's arrival in Sunnydale, the Scooby Gang deals with an assortment of down-to-earth villains including vampires who want to eat all the humans; unsouled ex-lovers with psychological torment on their minds; immortal sorcerers who lust after demonic levels of power; and governmental agencies bent on scientifically qualifying magic. They're great villains, yeah, and they pose a real threat to the Scoobies, but not a one of 'em is on the same level as Glory. She might deign to wrinkle her nose at them, or shoot a snarky comment their way if they're particularly lucky, but that's about as far as Glory would ever involve herself with that sort of rabble.
Because Glory is a god. Literally. And she's not just any old god--she's a mad, banished hell god determined to return to her realm at any cost.
She's the worst, and that makes her the best.


I am a self-proclaimed planner lover. It's something that brings me joy and yes, I know that makes me a total nerd and I totally own that lol. There's just something about starting out my week knowing exactly what I have going on that just helps me to feel calm and collected. And then add in some cute stickers and fun pens and I'm officially in my happy place!
Some of you have reached out and asked about my favorite planner goodies so I thought I would share them on here. If you aren't a paper-planner person, then this post probably isn't for you but you should stay around because something might catch your eye. :) Maybe I'll convert you to love my paper-planning ways!
A question I get asked a lot is what kind of planner I use. I am an Erin Condren planner girl and have used them for several years. Yes, there are cheaper options out there but I really like the layout of Erin Condren, the size of the Life planner, the thickness of the paper, and the overall quality of the book. I've had three and each one has made it through the entire year. I am close to ordering another one for next year but I am waiting for Black Friday/ Cyber Monday because I am hoping they have a deal.
I use the horizontal layout because it's easier to write everything in and just works better for me. The vertical version is very popular in the planner world but it just wasn't my fave. There's also an hourly version, a teacher plan book, a hardbound planner, a deluxe monthly planner, and more.
If you are interested in buying one click here for my referral link. You will receive a $10 gift certificate after your first purchase. Pretty awesome deal!
Another fun perk of the Erin Condren planners are the customizable and interchangeable covers. Sometimes you just want to change it up and to be honest, after 6-8 months, my cover is in need of a facelift. The Erin Condren covers are only $8, so not bad at all. Recently I found a new website for planner accessories that I really like called Stylish Planner Accessories. The covers are all hand drawn and are so unique and beautiful. They are a little more expensive than the Erin Condren covers but worth the splurge. Also, she always has a free wallpaper for each season and they are so cute! Go check out the November version!
I just recently got this cute planner clip and I'm in love. So adorable for Christmas!
Like I said before, I like the whole plethora of planner accessories, stickers being one of them. I don't go totally nuts and do the whole "no white space" planning because it's a little too intense for me. However, I like to use accent stickers for events and important info throughout the week and then of course a cute checklist as well.
Since you will most likely be writing on stickers in your journals, it's important to have pens that don't smear or bleed through. My favorites are the Ultra Fine Tip Sharpie Permanent Markers for vinyl stickers and the Papermate Inkjoy Gel Pens for writing on paper. I've tried a ton of pens and these are the best!

Lebanon's Syrian refugees support military strike
Aug. 30 - Syrian refugees seeking shelter in northern Lebanon say they would support a military strike against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Sunita Rappai reports.
Children of Syrian refugees play in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli. As the world awaits an international response after last week's week's deadly chemical attacks, some refugees here say they would support a military strike on their home country. This man says such an attack would end President Bashar al-Assad's regime within a month. Another says they need the conflict to end soon to prevent more deaths. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) SYRIAN REFUGEE, ABOU ASSEM, SAYING: "We want salvation on this issue. You know what that means? People here in Lebanon, the ones we came to, the people here don't have the capabilities, they are dying, and we came to die with those who are dying. We want salvation from this thing. Right, it is a strike but we want salvation." U.S. President Barack Obama made the case on Wednesday for a limited military strike against Syria. But there are growing signs that any timeline for this will be complicated by his administration's efforts to coordinate with both Western allies and U.S. lawmakers.
