Home Garages - What Are The Different Kinds Available?
Are you thinking about building a garage for your home? Are you aware of the many different kinds of home garages available today? It is a lot more than a single square block of space. There are many styles. Your home garage is an extension of your house and even, your identity. While it serves its intended purpose of storing your vehicle, different garage types are vastly different from each other. If you go to a garage plans company and search for ideas, you'll be presented with many kinds. Here's a quick guide to the different types and styles of garages: .
Most attached garages (attached to your home's wall) are made out of the same material that the house itself is made of. Detached garages, on the other hand, are free to be designed as needed. One of the most common materials used is wood. Wooden garages are sturdy, easy to build, cheap, and safe. However, wooden walls are far more prone to fire damage. Thieves find it easier to cut into wooden garages than those made of other materials.
Steel is also used to build garages, along with other types of alloy metals. Locations subject to termites and wood rot over time benefit from metal building technologies. However, these are more expensive and less common building options. If you live in an area that is prone to hot weather then you really shouldn't invest in a steel garage. The metal heats up and creates a hot and possibly, damaging environment inside. ALternatively, many garages are built using brick and mortar or concrete. They are secure, prevent termite and moisture damage and, additionally, are fire proof.
While the materials change the garage types on a basic level, any designer will tell you that there is more that goes into determining the style of a home garage. There are three major types of garage designs in the modern age. These are based mainly on their size and capacity.
1.	One Car garages – These are the most basic types of a garage. Nearly any home with a single small vehicle can build a single garage. It doesn't occupy much space as it is meant for one car and a little extra space for moving around. Single garages aren't good for storing other equipment. This is mostly because of the constricted space. However, it's the cheapest option when compared to other garages.
2.	Twocar garages – These are also called double garages, and are twice the size of a single garage in terms of the width. This garage type allows for the parking of two cars side by side, although most homes have a double garage with only one car. The reason for this is that the extra space can be used to keep lawn mowers, tools, and other equipment when it is not in use, without being hazardous for the car.
3.	Tandem garages – These aren't very common because the design isn't very different in terms of function. A tandem garage can accommodate two cars parked in front of one another. This is the same as having two single garages end to end. Some tandem garages have one door, while others have two. Most families with multiple cars choose the standard double garage instead.

SOPE EXTENSION AND PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY BILL
Parliament has passed the motion to approve the continuation of the State of Public Emergency by a further four months.
The Governor General, His Excellency, Sir David Vunagi had earlier proclaimed that a state of public emergency exists in Solomon Islands.
In exercise of the powers conferred by section 16(2) of the Constitution, the Governor General, His Excellency, Sir David Vunagi by a Proclamation declare that on and from 24 November 2020 a state of public emergency exists in Solomon Islands.
The motion was therefore the third Parliament business in yesterday's order paper.
Wrapping up the debate on the motion, Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare emphasized, the proclamation is necessary to ensure that COVID-19 is not transmitted from person to person within Solomon Islands (including by controlling the entry of persons into Solomon Islands and requiring the quarantining and testing of persons).
Prime Minister Sogavare further stressed, it is necessary to preserve public health, safety, order and security during the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the Solomon Islands/Papua New Guinea border, the Prime Minister said, PNG has lifted its State of Public Emergency. This means, earlier restrictions with regards to their Border closure is no longer in place.
Consequently, Solomon Islands now bears the ultimate responsibility of ensuring that there are no crossing over from Bougainville. This is quite difficult given the traditional claims of ownership of islands situated between SI and Bougainville, he said.
Prime Minister Sogavare however, applauds the outstanding work of our dedicated and committed RSIPF officers at the Border who give it their all for their country in ensuring that the Crossings are kept at bay.
The Prime Minister explains, the statement by the Leader of Opposition shows that there are more characteristics of COVID-19 that is yet to be discovered. Its presence in faces or in frozen food shows the need for quick adaptation to a rapid changing situation.
Prime Minister Sogavare further referred to the Leader of Opposition's comments that the Government had 8 months to develop a Bill only shows the lack of understanding of the processes that is involved in the development of a very important bill.
On the Public Emergency Health Bill, he expressed, the first four months was very critical for Solomon Islands in terms of ensuring that COVID-19 is not imported into Solomon Islands. At that time, we did not have sufficient or had lack of adequate knowledge of the disease.
All our experts (both health, finance, legal) were on leave. These experts were only allowed back into the Country towards the end of the first State of Public Emergency.
Work on the Public Health Emergency Bill commenced during the end of the first SOPE and by end of August the Officials commenced consultations on the first draft in Honiara with Government stakeholders.
This was followed by a second consultation in the Western Province in September and a third one in Malaita Province.
Consultations were also scheduled for other provinces to be held in October and also with the Private Sector and other relevant stakeholders, the Prime Minister said.
However, on 3rd October we recorded our first COVID-19 and our hardworking officials were diverted to ensure the containment of COVID-19 in Quarantine Stations.
To continue to require these officials to pursue the Bill at the same time ensure the containment, is suicide and is not in the best interest of National Security adding, a rushed bill will not serve our purpose.
He further said, our Officials must be respected and not over worked. They are the only thing that stand between the Quarantine Stations and community transmission.
However, the Prime Minister assured the House, the Oversight Committee, MHMS and the Attorney-General's Chambers are committed to delivering the Public Health Emergency Bill.
"We will not compromise quality over the need to merely have a stand alone law. This is irresponsible of Government and of us legislators," he strongly pointed out.
Prime Minister Sogavare further said, the Bill is not only designed to address COVID-19 but other diseases that are categorised as "public health events of concern" or can cause outbreaks or are contagious. So rushing such important and critical legislation is not in the National Interest.
"The Government will not be responsible for a law that is half baked", the Prime Minister said firmly.
On non-compliance of Orders, the Prime Minister assure the House, breaches of Orders have been compiled and forwarded to the relevant authorities. These Authorities are bound by relevant legislation. The Government does NOT unilaterally assume the role of judges. This clearly demarcates that the separation of powers are intact. Persons who are aggrieved that their rights have been infringed can apply to the Courts without any fear.
The acquittal and conviction of offenders shows our Courts are functioning without any interference, he stressed.

the last word of the data "nodeDescription" is repeated and why is that?

A:
byte[]  byteData = new byte[32];
InputStream inputStream = req.getInputStream();
String res="";

while(inputStream.read(byteData) != -1)
{
    res=res+(new String(byteData));

}

inputStream.read(byteData) reads up to 32 bytes from inputstream to buffer. When you read last bytes, it could be less then 32 bytes. So only bytes that were read will be rewritten and other bytes remain the same. What you need to use additional count variable.
int count;
while((count = inputStream.read(byteData)) != -1)
{
    res=res+(new String(byteData, 0, count));

}

Milliondollarhomepage Copycats
Everyone who is anyone is after Milliondollarhomepage. Especially after the news got out about the last few pixels being auctioned off for over $20,000. What I find fascinating is how many pitches I have seen on my blog and on…
Enterprising United Kingdom entrepreneur AJ, 26, decided to sell pixels via his website ThePixelWebsite.com as part of a scheme to make his first million by the age of 27. By the time the site is entirley sold out, the profit should make him a clear 1,110,000 GBP.
Following in the footsteps of Alex Tew's Milliondollarhomepage.com, AJ's http://www.thepixelwebsite.com is set to be the next big thing. It has received over 200,000 hits and sold 9000 pixels in the first seven days.
Milliondollarhomepage.com was the original idea – it had one million pixels on a page and sold each pixel for one dollar each. ThePixelWebsite.com has three million pixels on the page divided into three areas: top, middle and bottom. ThePixelWebsite.com is selling the top million at one pound per pixel, the middle million at 10p per pixel and the bottom million at 1p per pixel. This allows any type of business or company to advertise with it, regardless of budget. The bottom is likely to get sold out first.
"Its about time I started making money from the Internet," said AJ, founder of ThePixelWebsite.com. "I have dedicated about eight hours a day since the age of 17, for the last nine years on the net trying to make some money. I said to myself, 'I have to either make a million by the tenth year or give up the whole thing.'"
AJ also runs numerous other websites, some of which are extremely popular. However, ThePixelWebsite.com is set to be the biggest yet.

Two proposed amendments to Bulgaria's Bank Insolvency Act have been introduced to harmonise local law with EU rules and to further refine the legislation
Kinstellar
Bulgaria March 19 2019
On 22 February 2019 and 26 February 2019 two bills were introduced in the Bulgarian parliament to amend the existing Bank Insolvency Act ("Bills").
The purpose of the first of the Bills is to introduce the provisions of Directive (EU) 2017/2399[1], which partially harmonises the hierarchy of creditors in cases of the insolvency of banks or investment firms. Among its proposed changes the bill would introduce a new, additional class of creditors, in particular, holders of ordinary non-preferred unsecured claims, which would have a higher ranking than own funds liabilities and subordinated liabilities, but a lower ranking than other unsecured senior liabilities. Thus the ranking of creditors in a bank insolvency as stipulated by Art. 94 of the Bank Insolvency Act would be changed. The bill also provides for an exception to the general ranking of claims under Art. 722 of the Commercial Act regarding banks, investment firms, some financial institutions, mixed financial holding companies and mixed-activity holding companies for which currently only a partial reference to the priority of claims with regard to liabilities with different levels of subordination and own funds liabilities is provided under Art. 94 para. 1 of the Bank Insolvency Act. The aim is to take into account in the relevant insolvency proceedings the specifics of financial instruments with different levels of subordination issued in countries with more developed financial systems.
The recognition of the new ranking of the insolvency claims of banks, investment firms, certain categories of financial institutions, mixed financial holding companies and mixed-activity holding companies is expected to give these institutions more opportunities to issue debt from the new non-preferred class, while still respecting the requirement of subordination. This should also lead to a reduction in their financing costs.
The second of the two Bills aims to further refine the provisions of the Bank Insolvency Act. Its main proposed changes are, inter alia:
to limit the costs of the insolvency estate for court proceedings, including litigation, and in particular to clearly define the circle of parties to the appeal, from whom no state fee will be collected (the insolvency administrator, the provisional insolvency administrator, the fund or the relevant bank);
to enable, on the basis of direct negotiation, an insolvency administrator to sell property and rights that cannot be realised through a public sale[2] without an initial price until the realisation of the property or the right, which also contributes to the ultimate filling of the insolvency estate; and
to enable creditors to be entered ex officio on the list of receivables accepted by the insolvency administrator in order to guarantee their rights in the event of an offsetting.
The proposed amendments to the Bank Insolvency Act aim to bring Bulgarian law in line with European rules in this area and to further refine and clarify the wording of the legislation.

Ira Jeffrey Glass (/ˈaɪrə/; born March 3, 1959) is an American public radio personality. He is the host and producer of the radio and television show This American Life and has participated in other NPR programs, including Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Talk of the Nation. His work in radio and television has won him awards, including the Edward R. Murrow Award for Outstanding Contributions to Public Radio and the George Polk Award in Radio Reporting.
Originally from Baltimore, he began working in radio in his teens, and during his summer breaks while attending Brown University, worked alongside Keith Talbot at NPR. He worked for years a story editor and interviewer, before beginning to cover his own stories in his late twenties. After moving to Chicago, he continued to work on public radio on All Things Considered and The Wild Room, the latter of which he co-hosted. After receiving a grant from the MacArthur Foundation, he and Torey Malatia developed This American Life, which won a Peabody Award within its first six months and became nationally syndicated a year later. The show was formulated into a television program of the same name on Showtime that ran for three seasons. Glass also performs a live show and has written or contributed to articles, books, and a comic book related to the radio show.
Glass lives in New York City.

Glass was born in Baltimore, Maryland on March 3, 1959 to Jewish parents Barry and Shirley Glass.[2] He grew up with two sisters, one younger and one older.[3] Barry started out as a radio announcer,[4] but eventually became a CPA and businessman, founding GlassJacobson Financial Group,[5][6][7] while Shirley Glass was a clinical psychologist.[3] Her work prompted The New York Times to call her "the godmother of infidelity research."[4][8]
Glass's high school senior portrait
As a child, Glass wanted to be an astronaut,[3] while his parents hoped he would become a doctor.[9] From a young age, he loved comedy and his family frequented the theater.[10] By the time he was 11, he and his sister would put on shows in the basement of their home and invite neighborhood children to watch. As a teen, he moonlighted as a magician.[10]
Glass attended Milford Mill High School in Baltimore County where he held editorial roles as a member of the school's yearbook staff and as co-editor of the student literary magazine. His involvement in yearbook started in tenth grade and continued until his graduation in 1977. As a member of the Milford drama club, Glass was involved in several stage productions. His roles include Captain George Brackett in Milford's 1975 production of South Pacific,[11] Lowe in the school's 1976 production of Damn Yankees,[12] and Bud Frump in its 1977 production of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.[13] Along with his involvement on the stage, Glass was a member of the Thespian Society. Glass has remarked that his style of journalism is heavily influenced by the musicals he enjoyed when he was younger, especially Fiddler on the Roof.[14] Glass was involved in student government during his junior and senior years, as a member of the executive board.[15] In addition to his other extracurriculars, Glass was also involved with Milford's morning announcements and was a member of the Milford Mill Honor Society in 1977.[16] While in high school, he wrote jokes for Baltimore radio personality Johnny Walker.[17]
After graduating from high school, Glass was accepted into Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, initially as a pre-med major.[18] He attended with fellow alums Mary Zimmerman and David Sedaris, although he did not know them at the time.[3] He spent a lot of time at the University's radio station making its promos.[19] He transferred to Brown University, where he concentrated in semiotics.[20] It was there that he was introduced to S/Z by Roland Barthes, an analysis that, in hindsight, he says "made me understand what I could do in radio."[10] He graduated in 1982.[20]
After his freshman year, 19-year old Glass looked around Baltimore for work in television, radio, and advertising, but did not have any success.[9][10] Meanwhile, he got a job in the shock trauma unit at a medical center.[18] However, someone at the local rock station recommended that he seek out Jay Kernis at National Public Radio's headquarters in Washington, DC.[10] On that advice, he found work as an unpaid intern editing promotional announcements—which eventually led to him becoming the production assistant to Keith Talbot.[21][9] At the end of the summer, he chose to stay with NPR and abandon medicine, a decision that disappointed his parents.[18] When he graduated from college, they placed a sardonic ad in the classified section of their local newspaper that said, "Corporate office seeks semiotics grad for high paying position."[22]
Glass was at NPR for 17 years, where he eventually graduated to being a tape-cutter and then a reporter and host on several NPR programs, including Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Talk of the Nation.[10][23] In an interview, Glass recalled that his first show was with NPR's Joe Frank, and says the experience influenced him in a "huge way," adding, "Before I saw Joe put together a show, I had never thought about radio as a place where you could tell a certain kind of story."[24] He has also said that editing for Noah Adams, an early host of All Things Considered, taught him how to "to step back from the action and move to some bigger thought and then return to the plot," a technique that he still uses to structure TAL.[10] As he approached 30, he decided to try reporting his own stories, but said he was not good at it and that he performed poorly on air, took a long time to create a single piece, and did not have strong interviewing skills.[25] During this period, he dated a lawyer for seven years who, according to him, made him feel terrible, didn't take his work seriously, and didn't love him.[3] He says that while she was away working in Texas, he felt his writing improved in her absence, and their relationship ended by the end of the summer.[26]
In 1989, when his then-girlfriend, cartoonist Lynda Barry, moved to Chicago, he followed her there, settling into the Lakeview neighborhood.[27] Soon, he began producing award-winning reports for NPR's All Things Considered, specifically on school reform at Taft High School and Irving Elementary School.[27] However, it was a piece he did on the 75th anniversary of Oreo cookies that, he said, taught him how to write for radio.[28] Soon, he and Gary Covino created and co-hosted a Friday-night WBEZ Chicago Public Radio program called The Wild Room, which featured eclectic content with a loose style.[29] By this time, Barry and Glass were no longer a couple, but she initially collaborated on the project, even giving the show its title after she and Glass agreed that Covino's suggestion (The Rainbow Room) was "stupid."[29] The first show aired in November 1990.[29] In Glass's first professional interview (with Cara Jepsen in 1993) he said, "I like to think of it as the only show on public radio other than Car Talk that both NPR news analyst Daniel Schorr and Kurt Cobain could listen to."[30] During this time, they spent two years reporting on the Chicago Public Schools—one year at a high school, and another at an elementary school. The largest finding of their investigations was that smaller class sizes would contribute to more success in impoverished, inner-city schools.[31]
Even so, he was growing tired of "free-form radio" and, looking at other opportunities, began sending grant proposals to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.[29]

In 1995, the MacArthur Foundation approached Torey Malatia, general manager of Chicago Public Radio, with an offer of US$150,000 to produce a show featuring local Chicago writers and performance artists.[3] Malatia approached Glass with the idea, who countered that he wanted to do a weekly program, but with a different premise, a budget of US$300,000, and sights on taking it national. He then took two months off without pay to work on the pilot. Glass, however, didn't include his co-host in his plans, assuring him that the deal was unlikely to happen. When the show went on without him, Covino says he felt "betrayed."[29] He continued to produce The Wild Room alone until February 1996.[29]
You have to ask yourself, What is the radio good for? The radio is good for taking somebody else's experience and making you understand what it would be like. Because when you don't see someone, but you hear them talking—and, uh, that is what radio is all about—it's like when someone is talking from the heart. Everything about it conspires to take you into somebody else's world.
Ira Glass in an interview with Chicago Magazine
Early on, the idea was to make a show telling stories of "nobody who's famous, nothing you've ever heard of, nothing in the news."[32] The everyday stories would be placed between works from journalists, fiction authors, or performing artists.[32] Glass invited David Sedaris to read his essays on the program,[32] later producing Sedaris's commentaries on NPR and contributing to Sedaris's success as an independent author.[33] The show—then called Your Radio Playhouse—first aired on November 17, 1995; the episode was titled "New Beginnings."[6] It included interviews with talk-show host Joe Franklin and Ira's mother—who maintained her position that Ira should consider work in television because of his resemblance to Hugh Grant[6]—as well as stories by Kevin Kelly (the founding editor of Wired) and performance artist Lawrence Steger.[6] The show's name changed to This American Life beginning with the March 21, 1996 episode,[34] and was syndicated nationally in June 1996 by Public Radio International after NPR passed on it.[35]
The show quickly received wide acclaim and is often credited with changing the landscape of journalistic radio in the US.[19] It won a Peabody Award within six months of its first broadcast for excellence in broadcast media.[19] With time, the fictional pieces were increasingly replaced with more reporting, but in a storytelling style—notably in the show's coverage of victims of Hurricane Katrina.[32] Over the years, guest contributors have included Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell, Michael Chabon, Tobias Wolff, Anne Lamott and Spalding Gray.[19] On November 17, 2005, This American Life reached its tenth anniversary and the following week, in celebration, broadcast for the first time outside of Chicago.[citation needed]
Showtime approached the show's production team with sights on converting it into a television program; they refused, not wanting to compromise the format and make something "tacky and awful."[36] However, after Showtime conceded to various conditions—for example, a format that didn't resemble a news magazine—the team agreed to make the show. After viewing the pilot, Showtime ordered six episodes in January 2007,[36] the first half-hour episode aired on March 22, 2007.[3] During an interview with Patt Morrison with Southern California Public Radio, Glass said that he lost 30 pounds (14 kg) for this venture.[37] He also moved to New York for filming.[32] The show ultimately aired for thirteen episodes over two seasons, and ended in 2009 because of the heavy workload required to produce it.[38]
Chicago Public Media announced it would begin self-distribution of "This American Life" starting July 1, 2014 through Public Radio Exchange (PRX).[39]
Glass lecturing at Carnegie Mellon University in 2006
By 2016, This American Life, reached more than 4 million listeners each week.[40] Glass can be heard in all but four episodes.[citation needed] In July 2013, the 500th show was aired.[citation needed] For the 2013 fiscal year, the WBEZ board voted to raise Glass's salary from $170,000 annually to $278,000.[41] However, he requested that it be lowered to $146,000 the following year, and has since asked for it be lowered again, calling the original sum "unseemly."[41][42] He supplements his income with speaking engagements, which can command five-figure sums.[41]
In May 2009, the This American Life radio show episode "Return to the Scene of the Crime" was broadcast live to more than 300 movie theaters.[43]
Outside of radio, Glass has also worked as a print author. In September 1999, Glass collaborated on a comic book, Radio: An Illustrated Guide, with Jessica Abel. The book shows how This American Life is produced, and how to produce your own radio program. In October 2007, he published the anthology The New Kings of Nonfiction.
Glass has collaborated on several feature films. In the show's contract with Warner Bros., This American Life has first pick options on any films that emerge from stories of that program.[36] Glass, by extension, goes to Warner Bros. with any movie idea he may have.[36] In 2006, he served as one of the executive producers of the feature film Unaccompanied Minors. It is based on the true story of what happened to This American Life contributing editor Susan Burton and her sister Betsy at an airport one day before Christmas. Burton had already produced a segment on This American Life about the same experience before the story was adapted to film. In 2007, he and Dylan Kidd wrote a screenplay based on the nonfiction book Urban Tribes, about a man who must choose between his friends and his girlfriend.[36] Glass also produced the 2018 Netflix movie "Come Sunday."[44]
Glass regularly collaborates with comedian Mike Birbiglia. In 2012, Glass co-wrote and produced Birbiglia's film Sleepwalk with Me and they both went on a country-wide promotional tour for the film, not only giving interviews, but making visits to theaters to introduce the film. On September 17, 2012, Glass made a special voice appearance on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert to promote Mike Birbiglia's film Sleepwalk with Me, and to invite Colbert to take part in a This American Life episode.[citation needed] Glass was credited as a co-producer in Birbiglia's 2016 film Don't Think Twice, alongside Miranda Bailey and Amanda Marshall. Glass is also the producer for Birbiglia's 2018 one-man, Broadway show The New One, about fatherhood.[45]
In 2013, Glass partnered with Monica Bill Barnes & Company to produce Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host, working alongside Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass.[46]
Glass toured Google's headquarters in November 2013 and, after meeting with the Google Doodle team, they collectively agreed to a collaboration with This American Life. Glass suggested that for Valentine's Day 2014 they interview "random" people about their experiences with love.[47] Released to the American market, users could click on a candy heart that corresponded to each letter in "Google" and listen to a different story of unusual love in the same style as the radio program.[47] Roger Neill composed the music, while Glass, fellow American Life producer Miki Meek, and Mike Birbiglia conducted the interviews.[47]
In 2019, Glass went on tour with the show Seven Things I've Learned, where he talks about the art of storytelling. The titles of the show's acts include "How to tell a story", "Save the cat", "Failure is Success", "Amuse yourself, and "It's war." Two dancers from Monica Bill Barnes & Company, who had collaborated with before, performed in the show.[48]

Glass has made several appearance on late-night television, including The Late Show and The Colbert Report.[51][52]
In 2004, UCLA commissioned a one-night storytelling event called Visible and Invisible Drawings: An Evening With Chris Ware and Ira Glass.[53] In February 2005, Glass visited the Orpheum Theater in New Orleans to present Lies and Sissies and Fiascoes, Oh, My!, which shares a name with a This American Life compilation album.[54] Glass served as the monologist for ASSSSCAT at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York on February 21, 2010. On September 17, 2011, Glass participated in the Drunk Show at the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival,[55][56] during which Glass became so drunk he blacked out and vomited backstage.[57]
Glass has been a guest on various podcasts, such as TBTL.[58] On February 24, 2010, the podcast Freakonomics published a bonus episode (after its first) interviewing Glass on how to make a great podcast.[59] On June 17, 2011, he and his wife at the time, Anaheed Alani, appeared on the podcast How Was Your Week, where he revealed that, if he weren't in radio, he would be a professional poker player.[60] Glass appeared on the edition of June 24, 2011 of Adam Carolla's podcast, where they discussed The Adam Carolla Podcast, claiming the title of "Most Downloaded Podcast" from the Guinness Book of World Records. On September 19, 2011, Glass appeared on WTF Live with Marc Maron,[61] which aired as Episode 213 of WTF with Marc Maron on September 26, 2011.[62] Glass guest co-hosted Dan Savage's sex-advice podcast, "Savage Love", on January 31, 2012.[63] On Monday, November 24, 2014 Glass appeared on the Here's The Thing podcast.[64]
On May 18, 2012, Glass gave the commencement address for the Goucher College class of 2012 graduation ceremony, where he also received an honorary degree.[65] Glass was one of the voice artists for the audiobook "Suddenly, a Knock on the Door: Stories" by Etgar Keret.[66]
He also lent his voice to The Simpsons in Season 22 in the episode entitled "Elementary School Musical". He appeared in a green motion capture suit in a John Hodgman segment on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Thursday, November 4, 2010, where he acted as the main character of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City video game. Archival footage of Ira Glass is used in the film We Cause Scenes, which premiered at the 2013 South by Southwest conference.[citation needed] In 2014, Glass appeared as himself in the film adaption of the U.S. television series Veronica Mars.[67] Glass appeared in the extended cut of John Hodgman's Netflix comedy special John Hodgman: Ragnarok.[68] In 2018, Glass had a cameo in the film Ocean's 8, appearing at the Met Gala. In 2019 Glass appeared as himself in the episode "The Struggle for Stonewall" (season 1, episode 8) of the Fox legal drama Proven Innocent.[69]
Glass has been called visionary for his work in radio.[19] In 2001, Time magazine named Glass the "Best Radio Host in America".[53] Critics remark on the dedication and distinct vision he brings to the show. Steve Johnson with the Chicago Tribune called Glass "the deliberately mysterious, apparently highly romantic force who is the program's host, co-founder and executive producer."[27] After remarking that, unlike on most shows, Glass serves as the director, senior producer, host, administrator, librarian, and researcher, Chicago writer Sarah Vowell said, "Part of that is that he's a control freak. Part of it is he has so much experience. Part of it is he really does have a vision for the show."[27]
I don't have a good radio voice. But this thing happens now. People say "you have such a nice radio voice." And I say, that's the force of repetition. You're used to hearing me on the radio, so it seems like I should be on the radio. But when you hear me versus someone who should really be on the radio, you can tell, that I really have no business being on the radio.
Glass in a 2011 interview[70]
The nature of his voice also inspires commentary in the media. Vogue called his voice "the aural embodiment of Sensitive Guy Who Is Friends with All the Girls."[9] American Journalism Review called his voice "adenoidal" and said it has a "slight stutter, not a speech defect, but a verbal tic, a device."[9] The aforementioned Steve Johnson said Glass's voice sounds like it does not belong on the radio and that it is "kind of querulous, decidedly conversational."[27]
Jenji Kohan has said that Glass is part of the inspiration behind the character Maury Kind on her show Orange Is the New Black, in particular, his glasses.[71] She offered Glass a role on the show; he "politely declined" the offer due to his busy schedule.[71]
For a time, Glass dated cartoonist and author Lynda Barry of Ernie Pook's Comeek fame. She briefly joined him in Washington, D.C., but a few months later, in the summer of 1989, she moved to Chicago to be near fellow cartoonists.[72] Glass followed her there.[29] Reflecting on the relationship, she called it the "worst thing I ever did," and said he told her she "was boring and shallow, and...wasn't enough in the moment for him."[29] She later drew a comic based on their relationship titled "Head Lice and My Worst Boyfriend", which was later included in her book One! Hundred! Demons!...[73] Glass has not denied her assertions, and told the Chicago Reader, "I was an idiot. I was in the wrong...About so many things with her. Anything bad she says about me I can confirm."[29]
Glass married Anaheed Alani, a writer and editor, in August 2005.[74] They had dated before, ending in an acrimonious split, but decided to give the relationship another try.[3] "We have the entire Middle East crisis in our house," joked Glass. "Her mom is Christian and her dad is Muslim, from Iraq."[75] They shared a pit bull named Piney.[41] In March 2017, Glass announced on This American Life that he and Alani had separated,[76] and in an interview later that year, specified that they had been separating over the previous three years.[77] On April 17, 2017, Glass reportedly filed for divorce.[78] He has since resumed dating, calling it "kind of nice and sort of sweet," and saying, "There's a lot of hope to it."[10]
His older sister, Randi Glass Murray, is a literary agent based in San Francisco.[4] His younger sister, Karen Glass Barry, was a senior vice president in film development at Disney Studios.[4] He is a first cousin once removed of composer Philip Glass, who has appeared on Glass's show and whose music can often be heard on the program.[79]
Glass donated to Prison Performing Arts,[80] dedicating a whole episode of This American Life around one of the organization's productions of Hamlet.[81]
After visiting United Poultry Concerns chicken sanctuary, he decided to become a vegetarian.[82]
Glass likes the shows Gilmore Girls and Family Guy, and says he never missed an episode of The O.C.[36] His favorite podcasts include WTF with Marc Maron,[citation needed] and The Daily,[83] Reply All, Radiolab, Heavyweight, Stay Tuned with Preet, and Armchair Expert.[10]
Glass has stated on This American Life that he is a staunch atheist.[84] "It's not like I don't feel like I'm a Jew," he explained. "I feel like I don't have a choice about being a Jew. Your cultural heritage isn't like a suitcase you can lose at the airport...But even when I was 14 or 15, it didn't make that much sense to me that there was this Big Daddy who created the world and would act so crazy in the Old Testament. That we made up these stories to make ourselves feel good and explain the world seems like a much more reasonable explanation. I've tried to believe in God but I simply don't." Atheism aside, he said, "Some years I have a nostalgic feeling to go into a shul and I'll go in for a High Holiday service. Rabbi Seymour Essrog was really funny, a great storyteller. He was so good that even the kids would stay and watch him. He'd tell a funny anecdote, something really moving, and go for a big finish. That's what the show is."[75]
Ira Glass has stated that "Christians get a really bad rap in the media" and that contrary to the way they are portrayed in pop-culture, the Christians in his life "were all incredibly wonderful and thoughtful."[85][86]
Glass was named the recipient of the Edward R. Murrow Award for Outstanding Contributions to Public Radio in 2009.[87][88] In 2011, he earned the George Polk Award in Radio Reporting for "Very Tough Love," an hour-long report that showed alarmingly severe punishments being meted out by a county drug court judge in Georgia. The episode prompted Georgia's Judicial Qualifying Commission to file 14 ethical misconduct charges against Judge Amanda Williams and, within weeks, Williams stepped down from the bench and agreed never to seek other judicial offices.[89]
In 2012, Glass was awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Goucher College in Baltimore. In May 2013, Glass received the Medal for Spoken Language from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[90][91] He was on the team that won the Gold Award for best documentary from the Third Coast International Audio Festival in 2013 for Harper High School.[92] He was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in November 2014.

26-year-old Tyler R. Barriss, who was behind the deadly Call of Duty swatting incident that led to an innocent man's death, has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
Barriss made headlines during Christmas holidays in 2017, when he made a fake emergency call to the authorities on behalf of Casey Viner, who had lost a bet in a Call of Duty game. The intended target, Shane Gaskill, provided Andrew Finch's address instead of his own, resulting in a series of events that culminated in the innocent father's death. Finch was at home with his family when law enforcement officials surrounded his residence, and later shot him for not complying with instructions as he answered his door in a state of confusion.
Barriss' apology brings little consolation to Finch's family that has been struggling to obtain justice. His sister, Dominica Finch, said that while she's happy to see Barriss behind bars, she also wants the police officers involved to be held accountable as the incident could have been prevented.
As far as Viner and Gaskill are concerned, both men have been charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and wire fraud among other crimes. The duo initially pleaded "not guilty" but Viner has indicated his intention to change his plea at a hearing scheduled this Wednesday, April 3rd. Gaskill's trial has been delayed until April 23rd as he negotiates a plea deal with prosecutors.

Q: Using `shirou/gopsutil` Go package as a vendored package fails on macOS (10.14.6) I was trying to build influx/telegraf locally and vendor all the packages using go mod vendor command. However, interestingly, the build fails after that with the following error:
# github.com/shirou/gopsutil/host
vendor/github.com/shirou/gopsutil/host/host_darwin_cgo.go:9:11: fatal error: 'include/smc.c' file not found
 #include "include/smc.c"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steps to reproduce (after setting GOPATH variable):
# Fetch the project, e.g. influx/telegraf
go get -d github.com/influxdata/telegraf

# CD into the project
cd $GOPATH/src/influxdata/telegraf

# Checkout v1.14.5 (the current latest version)
git checkout v1.14.5

# Fetch the modules under vendor/ directory
go mod vendor

# Then modify the Makefile as follows:
# 1. Remove the `deps` target and its reference in the `all` target; it is not needed anymore, as we fetched all modules.
# 2. Add the `-mod vendor` flag everywhere `go build`, `go install`, or `go test` is called. This is necessary since Telegraf v1.14.5 is still on version 1.12 of Go, which requires this flag to use the modules under `vendor/` directory.

# Finally, build the project and you should get the error above
make

A: It turned out that this error is caused by a well known issue whereby go mod vendor prunes non-package directories, hence causing the host/include folder of shirou/gopsutil, which contains the smc.c file, to be pruned:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/26366
The impact of this issue on shirou/gopsutil is already reported:
https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/issues/832
There is no easy solution apparently, but a work-around for now is to manually copy the missing directories to vendor/github.com/shirou/gopsutil. In my case, I copied freebsd_headers and include from $GOPATH/pkg/mod/github.com/shirou/gopsutil/host to $GOPATH/src/github.com/influxdata/telegraf/vendor/github.com/shirou/gopsutil and it worked.
I hope you find this helpful.

A: As suggested by @Rafid, you can do a manual copy.
I found this below work-around to be helpful as well.
Run these commands
go get github.com/shirou/gopsutil
go mod vendor

Q: List the underlying objects used in a SQL Server Function I use the below to get a list of underlying objects in a View:
SELECT view_name, Table_Name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEW_TABLE_USAGE
WHERE View_Name IN
    (
      'View1', 'View2'
    )
ORDER BY view_name, table_name

I could not find any system table that provided the base objects in a function. Does anyone have any idea how to easily pull this information? I am dealing with many functions with multiple base DB objects and want to avoid manual effort to get this information. Thanks!

A: sp_depends will give you list of dependent objects in all current versions of SQL server but is listed as deprecated.
Here is a MSDN article with a way to find objects referencing a function and with small modifications you can get the list of object referenced by a function:
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(object_id) AS referencing_object_name
 ,COALESCE(COL_NAME(object_id, column_id), '(n/a)') AS referencing_column_name
 ,object_name(referenced_major_id) as referenced_object
 ,*
FROM sys.sql_dependencies
--WHERE referenced_major_id = OBJECT_ID('schema.objectname')
where object_id = object_id('schema.objectname')
ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(object_id), COL_NAME(object_id, column_id);

And as a bonus: http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/28/posts/10399/tsql-lab-9-how-to-find-the-dependency-chain-of-a-database-object.aspx

A: * Please Read *
As noted in @Spörri answer above, sys.sql_dependencies is deprecated.

sys.sql_dependencies (Transact-SQL) :

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL
  Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to
  modify applications that currently use this feature. Use
  sys.sql_expression_dependencies instead.

I observed among 3 functions, one functionas object id was missing in the deprecated table sys.sql_dependencies, and I found all in the sys.sql_expression_dependencies table instead. So use the below to get the dependencies:
select *
from sys.sql_expression_dependencies
where referencing_id =  object_id('schema.object_name')


The UK jobs market has confounded doomsayers for three consecutive years and now stands a third healthier than it did in 2010, according to the latest Reed Job Index.
The largest monthly measure of conditions and trends in employment opportunities in the UK indicates the market has grown by 3 percent compared with last month and is 12 percent healthier than it was this time last year.
Commenting on the latest figures, James Reed, chairman of reed.co.uk, says: "Throughout the downturn a number of commentators have been predicting a torrid time for the UK jobs market but, five years later, they have all been proved profoundly wrong.
This positive trend is apparent across a significant majority of sectors, with 76 percent growing month on month and 91 percent stronger than they were in January 2012. The social care, education and health and medicine sectors are currently faring the strongest, up 68 percent, 63 percent and 52 percent respectively. Around the regions, the picture is equally encouraging with 11 out of 12 areas growing on both a monthly and annual basis. Indeed there are now over 30 percent more opportunities on offer in the North East compared with this time last year, with a further eight regions enjoying annual growth of more than 10 percent. Overall, the Reed Job Index now stands at 138, compared with 134 the previous month (December 2012) and 123 at the same time last year (January 2012). Growth in salaries remained flat in January, both month on month and year on year, with the index remaining static at 98.
2 The Reed Job Index is compiled by the UK's number one job site reed.co.uk, through analysis of job advertisement trends from over 10,000 recruiters throughout the UK tracked against a baseline of 100 established in December 2009.


D'Amico Tankers Limited (Ireland) has agreed to acquire the product tanker Cielo di Milano (40,081 dwt, built 2003) from its Italy-based sister company d'Amico Shipping Italia for $14m.
"The purchase need arises from the characteristics of the features of this ship suited to a specific route in which it will be immediately engaged," parent company d'Amico International Shipping said today. The tanker has been fixed on a timecharter, but no specific details have been disclosed.
"This purchase adds to our fleet a unit that we know very well, and that allows us to engage it on a specific trade route that meets perfectly with its technical features," Marco Fiori, CEO of d'Amico International Shipping, said in a release.
The consideration was determined according to the tanker's market value estimated by a "specialised independent company" and approved internally, d'Amico said.

Ashes of Creation - Sandbox MMORPG by Intrepid Studios
Hello guys, i want to bring your attention on this new MMORPG-sandbox that is currently in development and has recently started a kickstarter campaign.
The game seems very promising, at least in the concept, and it has already been successfully funded by far exceeding the goal of $ 750,000.
So i've opened this thread to follow and discuss about this game, which probably will remain in development for at least the next 2-3 years.
Here is what we can see in the kickstarter page.
Ashes of Creation is an open-world, non-faction based, no P2W, high-fantasy MMORPG. Join us as we change the face of the genre.
Ashes of Creation is a new MMORPG that aims to bring the Massive back to Massively Multiplayer. It takes everything we love about the genre and brings it boldly into the future as a truly next generation title. We've all wanted a world that lives and breathes and reacts, where our decisions matter, where the world changes because of what we've done. Ashes of Creation is that game: The rebirth of the MMORPG.
Choosing your class, race and gear is a good start, but while most MMOs stop there, Ashes of Creation is just getting started. All of civilization is the responsibility of our players, and how that civilization evolves comes down to what our players decide. If you want a city, or marketplaces or the comfort of your own home, it's up to you to build it. If a city is encroaching on your territory, it's up to you to destroy it. Allies and enemies, friends and foes, these are words determined by you, not by us - there is no red and blue team for you to fall back on. Your grudges, your wars, your peace are real things, created by you, and the history of conflict is the history of the players.
In order for choice to matter, the world must be capable of change. Ashes of Creation brings to life a world designed around that concept. From seasons that include quiet autumns and devastating winters, to a volcano that threatens to level a city, this world lives and breathes and reacts to what the players do. On one server, that volcano may never erupt, in another that devastating winter may last five cycles, or with the help of a few heroes maybe only one.
From the moment a settler steps through one of the divine portals, the world has changed and will forever be changed. Ashes of Creation gives players unprecedented control over their destiny, and it's the world's ability to change that gives them that power.
But change for change's sake means nothing without consequence. That means that these changes and these choices must have repercussions, they must be *felt* throughout the rest of the world. It means that when a player makes a choice in a quest, that choice can't be undone. It means that when that volcano erupts and destroys a city, the landscape is forever altered. It means that when a tyrant makes life difficult for his citizens, his citizens can rise up against him. Players have choices to make, those choices lead to change, and that change has consequence. Day to day, server to server, the world will be in flux, and history will remain where it always should, in the hands of the player.
The state of the world is determined by our Node System. It's through this system that players determine how civilization evolves, and it's through this system that our world determines how to react.

Every zone is made up of multiple Nodes, and each Node has a Zone of Influence. As players adventure and complete their day-to-day goals, their experience is being captured by a Node through its Zone of Influence. As players level up, so do these Nodes. With enough experience a Node might become a village, a city, or with enough effort even a metropolis. As these population centers open up, players can establish citizenship through in-Node housing, instanced housing, or our Freehold system.
More player activity results in more civilization, bringing with it new quests, events, and services that players can take advantage of.
But everything has a price, and the savvy politician must decide whether that price is paid through tyranny, through diplomacy, or through war.
Every leader is ultimately bound by their economies, which are local to their region. There is no global auction house, and resources don't exist in unlimited supply.
Some regions might have too much iron, others not enough, and thus trade routes will be brokered and fought over. The transport of goods is an essential facet of our game, and though dangerous and fraught with risk, the health of the Node depends on it.
It depends on it, because the world doesn't appreciate civilization. Something dark and terrible happened long ago to wipe it from the face of this planet, and now that civilization has returned, those dark things stir again.
Can you remember the names of the gods that once were, and invoke their aid? Or will you erase their memory from history and take up the sword yourself?
Ashes of Creation is at it's core, a high fantasy world, with monsters, demons, dragons and heroes. Players will be able to choose from one of 8 races (four species, each with two subtypes). In keeping with our theme of Consequence, and unlike other games, race won't just be a matter of look, with relatively inconsequential abilities tacked on. Instead they integrate deeply into our class system, augmenting and changing the basic chassis provided by our eight core archetypes. Our goal here is to create a system where an elven fighter feels different, but serves the same role as a dwarven fighter.
At some point during your adventuring, you'll be able to augment your primary class with a secondary class, chosen again from the eight archetypes. Do you want your fighter to channel the elemental energies of a mage? Or would you rather your rogue be able to summon a helping hand? Maybe your ranger wants to supplement his healing abilities, or perhaps your bard wants to off-tank? You further specialize your character by choosing this secondary class, augmenting and changing what your core class can do.

I'm one of the backers, seems a very promising MMORPG
Honestly, this game sounds fantastic. It looks like exactly the kind of game I'd like to play. I wish you much success, and I hope that you will keep us updated.
I love the concept of dynamic game play. That will also make it an alt friendly game, if no experience is repeated (unless you choose for it to be repeated).
This looks exciting. I hate to get too hyped though because the last game that was in development that I got really excited about ended up being cancelled. I'll keep my eye on this one though and hopefully see it happen (and play it!) Again, please keep us posted.

I really appreciate the ability to, essentially, multiclass. It allows for a lot of customization without needing to make each individual class have an overwhelming number of options. It also means there are at least 28 permutations - though I assume order matters so there are actually many more. Sounds great for someone who loves alts, such as myself!
I do have to ask, does anybody else feel like 'Tank' as an archetype stands out like a sore thumb? It's pretty standard on a meta level, but every other class is a bog-standard fantasy one that makes sense to be called in-universe. Tank is just odd in comparison. I'd expect it to be Knight or something along those lines.
Hmmm, I hadn't given that much thought until you mentioned it. Good feedback. I was getting too happy about this game looking really fun. The name tank is a bit bland, although instantly recognizable. Knight, protector... yeah. Maybe it's just a placeholder until they can come up with something more unique?
"Fighter" also seems a bit ... generic. Warrior, soldier, hero, champion, I don't know - something besides just plain fighter might be good. That's kind of like mages just being called spell casters instead.

[Parlour Tapes+]
An album-length examination of the clavichord and its universe of mechanical, tactile, and (barely) audible attributes. The soft-spoken keyboard instrument is exploded into microscopic fragments that are reconstructed to form a series of sonic habitats for the listener to live in. To create this work, I made a library of notated "items" organized by sonic category (keyboard sounds, interior sounds, etc.) which were then interpreted and recorded by keyboardist Mabel Kwan. These items were layered and collaged to assemble compositions called builds. The work was released as a cassette tape designed to resemble a miniature clavichord. Side A consists of eight builds made from unaltered clavichord recordings, while Side B consists of one sprawling 20-minute build that utilizes clavichord recorded onto cassette loops. A tenth "build" was made for live clavichord and four pre-recorded clavichord tapes and premiered at the album release party.


This fall family photo session at Huber's Orchard and Winery was a dream to photograph! Going to Huber's has been an autumn tradition of mine for years, and it's so easy to get there as a Louisville area photographer so it was perfect for these fall family photos. Diane, Richard, and the girls got to romp around the apple orchards, which made the perfect setting!

Q: How to increase the memory for the job history server Job History server is going out of memory when trying to load the task status after the job completed. We are trying to increase the memory for the job history server. Any idea how we can increase the XMX for the job history server? I am Apache Hadoop 2.4.0 and running YARN.

A: Restart the history server with the following settings:
HADOOP_JOB_HISTORYSERVER_HEAPSIZE=5 bash -x  bin/mapred --config /Users/ajaymysore/gitHome/proton/resources/hadoop/conf historyserver
Note that 5 is the amount of memory you want to allocate in MB.

Nick Bosanquet: Five steps to security
By Nick Bosanquet2011-01-13T00:00:00+00:00
The pre-Christmas snow shower of documents did little to gather momentum towards better services. Rather, it added to the risk of planning blight for new organisations which have to find personnel and trial their powers and budgets. These are my five steps to rescue the change programme:
First, keep primary care trust clusters for at least five years as development agencies for the new commissioning consortia. PCTs have experience and it would be wrong to throw this away. They also have data on activity and cost, which would not exist for new boundaries. We need a three-way partnership between consortia, PCT clusters and local government in its new and very positive public health role.
"Unless they start to save now, many trusts will face the choice of reducing access to services or insolvency"
Second, reprogramme the £15bn-£20bn target for savings. We seem to be under the illusion that all the savings can be made by hospitals, but it is impossible to make savings of this kind from the hospital budget alone as this represents only 39 per cent of PCT purchasing of services.
Much of the rest is on primary care, community health and mental health services.
Reduced admissions and reduced variations in care have dominated the savings debate. If they can be achieved it will save a few hundred million at best. Even then, any savings need to be reinvested in better care for frail, elderly patients and better communications and, at least for some time, in new drug therapies where spending has been rising 10 per cent a year.
The £15bn-£20bn saving could be achieved if budgets across the NHS, including for primary care prescribing, were reduced by 5 per cent a year. This should be a local responsibility with cost reductions as a major new item on the agenda.
Third, lead through redesign. There should be detailed plans for redesigning services: the incentives to save would be much greater if people had some idea of what the money was going to be spent on.
The new pathfinders could make a start in developing these strategies. At present the theme of service redesign lacks a local core. Pilot schemes with a few sensors are not enough.
Many of our current services are obsolete, provider dominated and the wrong side of the digital divide. We need a process of change, which will take years, but this has to start with a clear statement from the new commissioners of what they want. The opportunity is there to invest in new kinds of service with earlier diagnosis, improved communication with patients and better outcomes. We need to put these positives at the centre of health policy.
Fourth, make detailed estimates of future cost pressures. The NHS has £10bn more from the spending review over the next four years, but this is needed simply to cover the cost increases coming through. New unitary payment for PFI schemes are at £5bn-£6bn. The NHS specific inflation rate for energy and materials will rise and there are other costs from the increasing number of junior doctors.
These costs, plus the additional diagnostics and care required to fix a long list of quality problems, add up to much more than £10bn. Some regions are worse affected than others. The final step is to start urgent action to avoid the Halloween meltdown I warned of last year (opinion, page 16, 21 October 2010). There is one unmentionable subject in all the recent documents, and that is the coming financial crisis of 2011.
Trusts have been used to 7-8 per cent a year income rise and now their income is set to fall 5 per cent as a result of changed incentives on emergency admissions and the zero increase in tariff prices. Unless they start to make savings now, many will face the choice of reducing access to services or insolvency beginning next November.
This crisis will in fact hit just as the new consortia are getting going and is likely to give them a highly disturbed start. A serious financial crisis next year would force a revision of the whole change programme.
The new documents do mention financial pressure and the need to maintain control, but they do not clear the way for local responsibility. Consortia have to make savings - but
these should be made so as to fit to local service redesign and local cost pressures. The savings have to be made but exactly where depends on local pressures.
At present the £15bn-£20bn is someone else's problem. Liberating the NHS is about the freedom to take financial responsibility for local financial balance. The most powerful incentive is solvency.
