LoneStarCon 3 (a.k.a.The 71st World Science Fiction Convention) will be held in San Antonio, Texas from August 29 ‐ September 2, 2013.
The academic track of the 2013 WorldCon is soliciting papers on all topics related to the science fiction and fantasy genres. We especially encourage papers related to the work of the guests of honor (listed above). Work on Steampunk, Old West/frontier themes, and Spanish language sf is also appreciated. Science fiction has long benefitted from works of criticism and scholarship from those outside the academy, a tradition that GoH Dr. James Gunn helped encourage. Paper proposals from both academics and non‐academics (fans) are welcome.
In addition to advocating for more attention to be devoted to reading race in SF, I feel that addressing issues of disability and the suffering body as depicted in SF narratives (feminist or otherwise) is also pressing. As the pace of advancements in prosthetic and other computerized assisted-living technologies quickens, we, as a culture, find ourselves faced with new possibilities for disabled bodies and embodiments. As I have always been interested in disability studies, it is a regret that I did not better engage with theories of disability and the technologically enabled body in this thesis. My own experience with chronic illness and pain has deepened my interest in this line of inquiry, but I also believe that there is a need within the SF community itself to engage with more images of disability.
During my participation at The 67th World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) in August 2009, I attended a panel discussion of disability in SF: the room was absolutely packed with people, most of whom identified as disabled. Throughout the hour, people shared their stories of identifying with specific disabled (or bodily limited) characters and insightfully critiqued the technologies imagined within these SF scenarios. I found the communal desire to discuss disability, as it is represented in SF, overwhelming. I would encourage academics working in the field of SF criticism to pay closer attention to the representation of disability in SF narratives (particularly in terms of reimagining the possibility of transcendence from the suffering body), as the SF community has demonstrated its eagerness to engage with the material and it offers a rich site of investigation into questions of embodiment and identity.


Despite their light Armour slayers can be in the thick of the fight along side the warriors they are faster and have more mobility than the Beserker also their whirling attack style allows them to clear down surrounding enemies. Like warriors slayers can dodge and come up behind foes played well they dont draw aggro as easily as other classes they are best when attacking the foe from behind while the tank is able to easily hold threat at the front.
1 Combo Attack Strike one or more targets in front of you, and gain mana (and do more damage) with each hit.
1 Evasive Roll Dodge forward past your enemy.

I'm not as rabid a fan of World of Warcraft as John Funk or Greg Tito. Nevertheless, when we had a chance to jump into the Cataclysm beta, I was first in line. Rather than taking one of my current characters out for a spin, I opted to start a new life as a Worgen, the new werewolf race. Having read about Greg's experiences with the new Horde race, the Goblins, I was anxious to see how the new Alliance race stacked up. Bear in mind that there are some story spoilers for the first dozen levels included here.
The first thing to notice about the Worgen is that you don't actually begin playing as a Worgen. You begin as a human standing in the dark and gloomy merchant square of the town of Gilneas. The city's on lockdown because of recent attacks and, if you look very closely at the city's skyline, you can see werewolves bounding from rooftop to rooftop. Finding a nearby lieutenant clawed to death, you begin to salvage supplies and help evacuate the city. Along the way, you'll encounter your first Worgen as they come down to attack the soldiers of the town. It's a very atmospheric sequence and not just because everything is brown and grey. The artists and level designers have created a space that feels threatening, even if the content is dead easy. Nevertheless, it sets the mood nicely.
In typical WOW fashion, your area of operations begins to enlarge, moving from this opening city street to the other districts of the city and bringing you from running errands for the captain of the guards to working directly for the king himself. Thankfully, this is when the story actually starts to get a bit interesting. The king needs the help of a former ally who has been accused of treason and is now wasting away in the dungeon. You'll want to earn his cooperation once you rescue him because he knows about a secret arsenal you can use against the Worgen. He'd been planning to use it against the king, but the Worgen have caused him to join forces with his former enemy. It's not War and Peace, but it works to give a nice bit of story for you to hang all the action on.
That's particularly important because the content up to this point is still fairly traditional -- find five letters, kill eight monsters, make ten sandwiches. Having read over the experiences that others were having with the Goblins, I was feeling a little let down.


Since the condominium market meltdown, both Fannie Mae and FHA have passed increasingly stricter and tighter lending guidelines on condominium financing. Of particular concern to the agencies and potential buyers is the capital reserve account. For those who don't know, a condominium capital reserve account is an emergency fund set aside for major capital common area repairs and expenses, such as a leaky roof, a new boiler system, or other major structural issues. In a new condominium, the developer will establish a capital reserve account through mandatory contributions by new buyers, then a certain percentage will be allocated towards that capital reserve account every month through condo fees. In established condominiums, some have already set up a healthy capital reserve fund, while others have little, if any, money set aside. That's where the problem starts as far as Fannie Mae and FHA are concerned.
FHA is now the strictest lending program for condominiums. Ironically, FHA is typically the loan of choice for first time condo buyers. FHA rules now require that condominiums set aside at least 10% of their operating income towards their capital reserve accounts. So if the annual budget is for $200,000, then $20,000 must be set aside in the capital reserve fund.
The lender may also require a review of the annual budget, and where the budget is inadequate, require a capital reserve study.
With regard to Fannie Mae, the 10% rule is often required by lenders although it's not technically part of the Fannie Mae condominium guidelines. However, arguing with Fannie Mae and lenders about this issue is tough because a healthy capital reserve account is critical for the financial stability of any condominium project, and hence, vital to the underwriting of the condo mortgage loan.
Accordingly, for all FHA and some FNMA loans (i.e, the vast majority of conventional loans), the 10% capital reserve account rule will come into play.
What If My Condo Doesn't Have 10% Reserve?
Well, you will have a problem selling your unit, and you may have unintentionally picked a fight with the condo trustees. The Massachusetts Condominium Act requires the establishment of an "adequate" capital reserve account but does not specify how much money needs to be in it. Arguably, 10% of operating budget is now "adequate" under the law, but there is no court precedent yet.
I will say this. Condominium trustees, boards and managers who do not keep the condominium's finances in compliance with current Fannie Mae/FHA secondary mortgage lending requirements run the risk of violating their fiduciary duties towards unit owners. If unit owners are hindered in selling their units to buyers seeking FHA/Fannie Mae loans because capital reserve accounts are insufficient, that's a huge problem.
Bottom line, I would advise all Massachusetts condominiums to get their capital reserve accounts beefed up to the 10% mark. It's a win-win for everyone.
If you are in need of comprehensive condo compliance services, I would recommend my friends at National Condo Advisors.

Homeowners who have not been able to refinance because they are "underwater" — their loans are more than the value of their home due to depressed real estate values — are being thrown a lifeline by the Obama Administration's latest housing market rescue plan, announced yesterday.
Regulators are revamping a program rolled out in 2009, the Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, which lets borrowers with homes whose values have dropped to refinance. So far, only 894,000 borrowers have used it, of which just 70,000 are significantly underwater. The refinancing program is open to homeowners whose mortgages are owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae (FNMA) or Freddie Mac (FMCC), the two government-controlled mortgage giants whose rescue three years ago has cost taxpayers $141 billion to date.
The FHFA said the changes could at least double the number of homeowners enrolled. Analysts at Barclays Capital, however, estimated that between 1.9 million and 3.1 million homeowners could be eligible for help.
But underwater homeowners, as long as they have made all their mortgage payments on time in the past six months and meet a few other basic criteria, such as being gainfully employed, would be eligible for a new refinance product just rolled out by the Obama Administration.
According to Scott Van Voorhis at Boston.com, an estimated 230,000 homeowners across Massachusetts are underwater on their mortgages, owing an average of $120,000 more than what their properties are actually worth now. The savings could prove substantial, with $3,000 in savings each year on a $200,000 mortgage that is refinanced from 6 percent down to 4.5 percent, according to this explanatory piece put out by the Associated Press.
Given higher home prices here in Greater Boston, that could amount to $6,000 in savings a year for a homeowner with a $400,000 mortgage — nothing to sneeze at.
If this HARP finally sings a tune, it will be cause for joy among borrowers, mortgage bankers, and closing attorneys across the state. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

The Act, passed in August 2010 and now codified in a new Mass. General Laws Chapter 186A, bans institutional lenders (not private parties) who own foreclosed properties from evicting residential tenants without "just cause." What this means in plain English is that foreclosing lenders such as Fannie Mae cannot evict tenants of foreclosed properties unless they stop paying rent or commit serious lease violations such as illegal activity on the premises.
There is a huge loophole in the Act however. It does not apply to private individuals who purchase properties at foreclosure. They are free to evict tenants for any reason. But, they must provide tenants with at least 90 day notice to move, and the tenant retains the right to ask for more time to leave in any eviction legal proceeding.
The impact of this ruling will be to expand the number of tenants who will be protected from eviction when their apartments fall into foreclosure. It will also slow down the pace of selling off REO and foreclosed properties to individual owners and investors who will now inherit tenants with expanded occupancy rights in foreclosed properties.

It's always humbling to be quoted in a major real estate publication such as Inman News. Last summer, I wrote about the nasty effect of the newer pending litigation Fannie Mae condo rules. Steve Bergsman, from Inman, was gracious enough to retell a story about how these rules left my client with a denial of his financing just days before his condo closing, leaving him living in a motel for weeks. (Another attorney represented him in the transaction, who I believe bordered on committing malpractice by not following my guidelines, below).
Have the condominium association disclose whether it is involved in any type of pending litigation which could trigger the Fannie Mae guidelines.
Get this information as early as possible, because it's a deal killer.
I always put a provision in my purchase and sale agreement rider in which the seller represents there is no pending litigation involving the condo.
Attorney Richard Vetstein told me this story: A client was going to buy a unit in a condominium development and thought he had it all wrapped up; he had an agreement in hand, deposit down and was two days away from closing.
Then he got a call from his lender, who said there were issues. "Issues?" the client asked. Essentially, his lender said there was active litigation involving the condominium building, and the loan would not be approved by underwriters.
The episode didn't make the seller of the condo unit any happier, either. Buyers these days are extremely hard to come by.
Recent changes to the Fannie Mae Selling Guide, including some alterations that went into effect March 1, make that afternoon leisure time on your personal veranda with the ice tea in your tumbler and a Robert Patterson paperback in your hand more chilling than comforting.
Condo watchdogs generally are focusing on two changes that could affect your pocketbook, either as a homeowner or home seller. The first has to do with newly converted, non-gut rehabilitation condo projects, while the second, which affected Vetstein's client, has to do with the collateral damage of an ongoing litigation.
Fannie Mae now declares mortgage loans in progress on a condo involved in any type of litigation, other than minor litigation (i.e., disputes over rights of quiet enjoyment), ineligible for delivery, said Orest Tomaselli, CEO of White Plains, N.Y.-based National Condo Advisors LLC.
What this means is, if your neighbor has some personal beef with the homeowners association or developer because his plumbing doesn't work or the front door of the building has a bad lock and sues, well, that can affect you because a potential buyer can not get a Fannie Mae loan. Sure, the buyer can go to a bank and get a different loan, but that would just be more expensive.
What happened with Vetstein's client was that a crazy, litigious unit owner was suing the condo association and prior builder for minor leaks.
The changes present a conundrum for HOAs. It's not uncommon in cold-weather states to experience poorly worked roofs resulting in water penetration of condominium units. Condo owners get upset, the HOA gets upset, and everyone wants to sue the builder or roofer. Unfortunately, this triggers a Fannie Mae issue.
The other problem for condo owners is specifically for those who live in developments that essentially have been converted from rentals into ownership units, or as Fannie Mae officially labels them, newly converted, non-gut-rehabilitation condo projects.
Those developments have to go through a Project Eligibility Review Service, or PERS.
The problem is the cost to the HOA. Fannie Mae charges $1,200 for the review, plus $30 for every unit in the buildings, said Tomaselli. So, if you're looking at 200-unit building, that's $7,200 that has to paid out.
In addition, the newly converted non-guts have to undergo a reserve study to determine over a 30-year period of time what the repair costs are going to be in regard to such items as elevators, roofs, mechanical and structural systems, and the exterior.
"The current guidelines require that only 10 percent of the budget be set aside for reserve. Once the reserve study is done, an accurate number is given on what the reserve should be — and those numbers can be tremendous," Tomaselli said.
The main goal of a reserve study is accuracy. "This guideline requiring reserve studies for new non-gut-rehab condominiums will ensure accurate reserve funding enforcement that will eliminate special assessments in most cases," said Tomaselli.
It's not a bad thing for Fannie Mae because it is making sure homeowners are protected — but for developments, increased maintenance can loom large.

First the robo-signing controversy. Then the U.S. Bank v. Ibanez ruling. Now the next bombshell ruling in the foreclosure mess has just come down from a New York federal bankruptcy judge.
The case is In Re Agard (click here to download), and essentially throws a huge monkey wrench into a hugely important cog of the entire U.S. mortgage market, the Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc. known as MERS.
MERS, even for many seasoned real estate professionals, is the most important entity you've never heard of. In the mid-1990s, mortgage bankers created MERS to facilitate the complex mortgage securitization system where hundreds of thousands of mortgage loans were (and still are) packaged and bundled as securities for sale on Wall Street. Each mortgage entered into the MERS system has a unique 18 digit Mortgage Identification Number (MIN) used to track a mortgage loan throughout its life, from origination to securitization to payoff or foreclosure. The MERS system was vital to the proliferation of the $10 trillion U.S. residential securitization mortgage market.
Critics say that the decision to create MERS was driven, in large part, to avoid paying recording fees charged by county registry of deeds which required that all mortgage transfers and assignments be properly recorded and indexed in publicly available registries of deeds. Thus, MERS was designed essentially as a privately run, national registry of deeds under which MERS would act as the record "owner" and depository of all mortgages participating in the system, while the mortgage notes and loans themselves were freely bought and sold on the secondary market. About 50% of all U.S. mortgages participate in the MERS system.
The judge found that the MERS membership agreement wasn't enough to assign the mortgage and that to do so the lender would have to give power of attorney or similar authority to MERS. MERS's membership rules don't create "an agency or nominee relationship" and don't clearly grant MERS authority to take any action with respect to mortgages, including transferring them, Grossman wrote. Because the interests at issue concern "real property" — land and buildings — under state law, any transfer has to be in writing, which isn't done under the MERS system, he said.
The impact of this ruling may be quite muted. First the ruling is "dicta" which means that the ruling didn't have much to do with the case since the judge upheld the validity of the foreclosure. Second, this ruling comes from the lowest level of the federal bankruptcy court system in New York, and will surely be appealed to a federal appeals court, and then possibly to the U.S. Supreme Court. Other courts have ruled in favor of MERS on the same issues, as well. The ruling could be overturned ultimately–if it gets there. Third, Congress and state legislatures could intervene, and bless what MERS has been doing for the past decade. The judge invited lawmakers to do just that.
Thus, it's hard to say how much, if any, impact this ruling with have in other states or nationally. Plus, any easy fix would appear to be for MERS and its lender partners to go back, and record their mortgage assignments and pay the recording fees due.
That said, the decision definitely sends a shot across the bows of MERS and its partners (Fannie and Freddie), and should be watched closely by industry experts.
Fannie Mae will roll out new lending guidelines on December 13 which will make securing a mortgage a lot easier for some borrowers but harder for others.
Borrowers can now use gifts or grant funds for their entire down payment, avoiding the old rule requiring at least 5% of the down payment from the borrowers' own funds. Gifts can come from family members and non-profit community grants.
The new rule applies to all single family transactions and 1-4 unit multifamily mortgages with less than 80% loan to value.
For multifamily properties with 80% or higher LTV, the borrower must use his own funds for 5% of the down payment.
This will help upgrade buyers and young couples who for whatever reason don't have enough money and are getting some from their families.
Fannie Mae is getting tougher on debt-to-income ratios, or the amount of a borrower's gross monthly income that goes toward paying off all debts. The maximum ratio for those seeking a conventional mortgage will drop to 45 % from 55 % under the new guidelines.
The agency is also taking a harder look at payment histories on revolving debt. In the past, if a borrower missed a monthly payment, Fannie Mae ignored it, or required that lenders add a few percentage points to the total balance when calculating the debt-to-income ratio. Now, buyers who have missed a payment will have 5 % of the total balance added to their ratios.
These new guidelines could sink many potential borrowers with student-loan debt that has been deferred or borrowers who have bought big-ticket items through financing with delayed payments.
Perhaps the toughest news from Fannie Mae concerns borrowers who have gone through foreclosure. They will be excluded from obtaining a Fannie-backed loan for seven years, up from four.
This is an especially tough pill to swallow, especially since many feel Fannie Mae is complicit in creating the very environment which lead to the explosion of foreclosures.
Buyers who do not meet the new Fannie Mae requirements may have to consider a nonconforming loan from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). These loans, which do not follow Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines, require mortgage insurance premiums and, for those with low credit scores, higher interest rates and steeper down-payment requirements.

DOES IT WORK? Dónal O'Mathúna looks at probiotics and intestinal problems.
PROBIOTICS HAVE quickly become very popular as "functional foods". These are foods alleged to have health-promoting or disease-preventing properties beyond their nutritional value. Probiotic yogurt drinks are among the fastest-growing examples of these products. While your first encounter with probiotics may be among dairy products, most of the research has been conducted on capsules of the dietary supplement. Tablets, powders and supplemented drinks are also available.
Probiotics are used to promote a healthy balance of micro-organisms in our intestines. More than 400 different species of bacteria and yeast normally inhabit our gastrointestinal tracts. A delicate balance exists between microbes that are beneficial and those that cause problems. This balance can be disturbed by illness, poor diet, stress, alcohol, antibiotics and other factors.
The most common symptom of imbalance is diarrhoea, but a variety of other stomach and intestinal problems can develop. Probiotics are believed to help restore a healthy microbial balance and inhibit disease-causing microbes.
There is clear evidence that some probiotics are beneficial. However, a huge variety of products is available with a vast range of doses. This makes it very difficult to give general recommendations about probiotics. Some of the bacteria most commonly used in probiotics (either alone or in combination) are Lactobacillus species, Bifidobacterium species and Streptococcus thermophilus.
A specific strain, Lactobacillus GG, has been the subject of a large number of studies and been shown to be beneficial in preventing and treating diarrhoea. This strain seems to be particularly helpful for children. When this strain was given to children or adults at the same time as they received antibiotics, significantly less diarrhoea occurred. Probiotics also appear to help with the latest culprit in hospital-acquired infections, C. difficile.
Beneficial effects were also found in developing countries where diarrhoea is a life-threatening problem, especially for children. Visitors to these countries can also benefit from taking probiotic supplements. However, the benefits vary depending on which particular infectious agents cause diarrhoea in a location and which strains are present in the probiotics.
Probiotics are also commonly recommended for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This is a relatively common intestinal problem leading to a variety of symptoms including abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence and bowel movement difficulties. In the US, only the common cold leads to more missed work days. Studies with probiotics have found that they can reduce some symptoms, particularly bloating, but not all. The results have not been consistent. The evidence of benefit for IBS is therefore much less clear-cut.
Studies with probiotics have not found them to be effective with more serious intestinal problems like Crohn's disease or to treat infections.
Probiotics are generally safe. A common side effect is flatulence, but that usually subsides after a few days. The biggest risk with probiotics appears to be to your wallet. Large variation exists in the quality of products. The bacteria in probiotics must reach the intestines, but stomach acid kills many of them. Therefore, large doses are needed, usually one to 10 billion bacteria per day. Independent studies of products found that more than one-third did not contain one billion bacteria per daily serving. Many did not contain what their labels claimed.
Probiotics can be beneficial for people with a range of relatively mild intestinal problems. They may be particularly helpful to take along with antibiotics if they tend to cause diarrhoea. They might also be beneficial when travelling to countries where diarrhoea is common. However, there is no evidence that probiotics benefit healthy people and manufacturers have been criticised for advertising that implies they do.
Interest in probiotics is relatively new. Because of that, information on the best products to use or the best way to take them is often not available.
As a general approach to improving one's diet when intestinal problems have developed, probiotics are well worth trying. However, they should be used on a trial basis and not taken indefinitely to avoid unnecessary expenditure. There is limited information available on using probiotics to treat specific conditions. However, as more research is conducted, it is likely that such guidelines will become available relatively soon.

Moscow, February 14, Interfax - The Russian Orthodox Church stressed the importance of anti-abortion measures recently adopted in the USA.
"These actions aimed at strengthening traditional family values and supported by the United States Conference of Bishops, cause respect and solidarity," Vladimir Legoyda, head of the Russian Orthodox Church's Department for Church, Society and Media Relations, said in his statement quoted by his press service.
According to the Washington Post, crossing the borders to get a free ride on America's gravy train is about to become a lot less attractive. The only reason the Washington Post may have fabricated this story is to incite fear among the illegal alien population in order to take to the streets and riot along with paid Soros agitators. Muslims have done the same after they were lied to by the leftist media that Trump's travel restrictions were a Muslim ban, when they are not.
The committee found that the woman was not mentally competent to consent to being killed.
NL Times has reported that for the first time, a Dutch doctor has been reprimanded for euthanizing a dementia patient without conclusively establishing it was what she wanted.
The Regional Euthanasia Review Committee found that consent wasn't established, and that the implementation of euthanasia was traumatic.
Germany's population registered its biggest increase in more than 20 years in 2015, data showed on Friday, as record numbers of migrants entered the country. More than a million people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and beyond flocked to Europe's most populous nation last year, drawn by Germany's strong economy, relatively liberal asylum laws and generous system of benefits.
Net migration reached a record high of 1,139,000, more than doubling from 2014, the Federal Statistics Office said.
Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would permanently prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to pay for abortion.
When China's Communist Party under Deng Xiaoping first introduced the one-child policy in 1979, party insiders had been convinced that China's population growth was impeding its economic development. Decades under Chairman Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution had wrecked the nation's economy and left policymakers in the Communist Party searching for new solutions.
In general, religious participation appears to foster an authoritative, warm, active, and expressive style of parenting.

Blog / 150 Million Reasons … A Rainy-day Topic About Why Microsoft Software Needs To Be Upgraded.
It's summertime in Alberta and that means the rains have started. I'm most likely not the only person who spent Canada Day indoors watching the downpour. With summer comes time for an article or two about WHY. The recent announcement that Microsoft are retiring Windows 7 and a host of server operating systems and applications, have spawned more than one WHY question.
Many users are suspicious of software vendor motives, preferring to think it's just an excuse for a cash grab. However, over the years, I've been involved in more than one software development project, and so I can offer a glimpse into why software needs to be updated, what's involved – and why it periodically needs to be replaced with a whole new system. The short answer can be summed up in three words: Compatibility – Security – Features. But that hardly does justice to understanding the true "why" behind the constant cycle of upgrades. Let me put a programmer's perspective on this, to help you understand the complexity of software development.
Software is usually written in a pseudo-English language that forms the instructions to make a computer "do something"; the Software Development Language (SDL). Of course, the CPU doesn't respond to English, so the code is compiled into digital machine instructions by the SDL that the CPU understands.
Many of you will remember writing simple programs in "BASIC", as part of a Physics school course. If you look at the written code, it looks more like poetry than a storybook: Lots of short and repeatable lines with odd-looking punctuation. You'll also remember that one comma or letter out of place would cause the program to be unpredictable or precipitate it to fail completely.
A very general way of determining the overall complexity of a software program is to count the number of lines of code. Software engineers will warn that counting code lines as a measure of software complexity can be misleading, but it will serve our purposes. Our BASIC programs from school had a couple-of-dozen code lines; at most – fifty. MS-DOS (Disk Operating System) version 1.25 was Microsoft's first computer operating system released in 1983, and it had just under 14,000 lines of code.
By conservative estimates, Windows 7 has 50 million code lines. It takes a small army of software engineers, design specialists, and testers to maintain this code. With this much code, there are bound to be mistakes; perhaps many thousands, that we call bugs. Some bugs are apparent in that the program doesn't perform as the user intended. Other bugs are hidden and may affect the way information is processed and stored. Hidden bugs are what hackers exploit to gain illegal access to your computer and cause a Cyber Security Breach.
In addition to bugs, programmers often take intentional shortcuts to make processing an instruction faster or easier. It's a constant trade-off between speed, reliability, and security. Still more problems arise when 3rd party code – called software libraries – are embedded in a larger application. A typical example is a print driver. Rather than Microsoft writing the instructions to send a document from Windows to a printer, the printer manufacturer provides the software code library that specifically interfaces with the new printer and its features. But it can introduce its own bugs.
And then there are advancements in hardware. Chip manufacturers strive to change the way CPU's process instructions in search of greater speed. They add capabilities and processing cores. This means that software programmers must adapt to new code instructions and ways of designing their software, if they want to take advantage of the speed and capability of a new computer. This can lead to a complete re-design of the software.
So far, we've focused on the Windows operating system. Of course, a popular application like Office has its own code base, estimated to be about the same number of lines as the Windows operating system. Windows 10 is estimated to have about 65 million lines; add another 60+ million for Office, and then throw in another 10 or 15 million for some other applications (Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome, and Trend Micro Anti-Virus for example), and you quickly get to 150 million-plus lines of code making up the software on your computer.
It's a minor miracle most software works as well as it does.
Software development is a constant tension between eliminating bugs to improve reliability and preventing Cyber Security breaches – and adding new features to take advantage of the hardware improvements and user demands.
Once released to the public, software engineers keep their code up-to-date by releasing
patches, which are segments of code with new lines to address a bug or add a feature. However, patches often involve compromises – fixes on top of fixes. Microsoft release software patches for the operating systems and applications, about once a month.
Sometimes, you have to start over with a completely new code design that is optimized for new hardware. That's when you see a new version – I.E.: Windows 10, Server 2016, or Office 2019.
Microsoft are well-paid for their software and services; as their deep pockets and global reach will attest to. But it's not an easy task and considering the incredible strides in computing technology within the last decade alone, I don't begrudge them a few of my dollars for their efforts. However, I do get upset with yet-another-round of Windows Updates that take over my computer with increasing regularity!
In the coming months, we'll have much more information about the best way to prepare for the Windows 7 retirement and upgrade to Windows 10. We'll also have some advice on the other Microsoft server-software retirees. Should you have questions, please contact me or your TRINUS Account Manager for some stress-free software upgrade help.
And, as I write this, it hasn't rained (yet)…

Broccoli is a well-known member of the cabbage family, and Purple Sprouting Broccoli, sometimes known simply as 'Purple Sprouting', is a close relative of the popular Calabrese or green broccoli.
As the name suggests, this variety has purple florets, which are rich in vitamins A, C and Folic Acid. As with most Brassicas, they are relatively easy to grow, requiring an open sunny position and free draining soil.
Purple sprouting broccoli can be cooked by either steaming or boiling and tastes delicious. It can also be used raw in salads, grilled or used in stir-fries.

Q: Getting all data names from a table I have a nested table of global variables in my lua file like
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES =
{
CLASS =
{
    WARRIOR =
    {
        ATTACK = 0,
        DEFEND = 0,
        CRIT_CHANCE = 0,
        CRIT_DAMAGE = 0
    },
    PALADIN =
    {
        ATTACK = 0,
        DEFEND = 0,
        CRIT_CHANCE = 0,
        CRIT_DAMAGE = 0
    },
    PRIEST =
    {
        ATTACK = 0,
        DEFEND = 0,
        CRIT_CHANCE = 0,
        CRIT_DAMAGE = 0
    },
    ...
...

I want to traverse table to return all variable names in strings like "GLOBAL.CLASS.PRIEST.ATTACK", "GLOBAL.CLASS.PRIEST.DEFENSE", and so on. I already can traverse whole table but It returns values solely as "ATTACK", "DEFENSE" and such...
How can I get full "address" of each value?

A: Assuming you are doing a depth-first traversal (aka in-order), as you descend the hierarchy, pass down the path for the parent node. At the point where you capture the leaf's name, prepend it with the parent node's path. If the node is not a leaf, prepend the node's name with the parent node's path and pass it down.
local node = path .. "." .. tostring(key) -- tostring used in case key is not a string

Use "GLOBAL" as the initial path.

A: More efficient and easier way is to use table.concat. For example, to show all fields:
local myprint
myprint = function(tab, prefixtab) -- Tab = tab to print, prefix = inital tab ({'GLOBAL'} in your case) or nil
    prefixtab = prefixtab or {}
    local idx = #prefixtab+1
    for k,v in pairs(tab) do
        prefixtab[idx] = k
        print(table.concat(prefixtab, '.')) -- Comment to don't print for every path
        if type(v) == 'table' then
            myprint(v, prefixtab)
        --else -- To print only complete pathes
            --print(table.concat(prefixtab, '.'))
        end
    end
    prefixtab[idx] = nil
end

Example (based on your table):
> myprint(GLOBAL, {'GLOBAL'})
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.CRIT_DAMAGE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.ATTACK
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.CRIT_CHANCE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.DEFEND
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.CRIT_DAMAGE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.ATTACK
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.CRIT_CHANCE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.DEFEND
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.CRIT_DAMAGE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.ATTACK
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.CRIT_CHANCE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.DEFEND

Or complete-only path version:
> myprint(GLOBAL, {'GLOBAL'})
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.CRIT_CHANCE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.ATTACK
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.CRIT_DAMAGE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PRIEST.DEFEND
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.CRIT_CHANCE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.ATTACK
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.CRIT_DAMAGE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.WARRIOR.DEFEND
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.CRIT_CHANCE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.ATTACK
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.CRIT_DAMAGE
GLOBAL.ADVANTAGES.CLASS.PALADIN.DEFEND

You may think I am nuts but I wanted to share something. The other day when we were talking (me and Shirley) about the Anti-Christ and stuff, I said if it is not barak obama, it is probably Oprah Winfrey. She built a church called NEW EARTH. She has publicy denied that Jesus Christ is the Saviour, that he began Christianity and that there are Millions of ways to find God, including through charity, good deeds, etc.
I watched a video last night, just randomly looking through Youtube and found this.
The video is kind of funny the way he talks but..
The Bible even gives some clues about his personal characteristics. The prophet Daniel wrote that the Antichrist "does not regard the desire of women." This could imply that he is either celibate or a homosexual...or a woman.
Oprah is a billionaire and has millions of followers. Who knows. If she isn't, she is making a way for the anti christ by denying Christ and with all of the middle age, stay at home mom's that religiously watch her show, she is leading them astray too.
Oprah cannot be the antichrist for several reasons. First of all, the Bible does specify that the antichrist is a man. I understand the email's point about the "desire of women" thing, but that is hardly sufficient for discounting the Bible's multiple references to the words "man" or "son", all of which are in the male gender. There are some women leaders in the Bible, such as the judge Deborah, and the Bible does not hesitate to name them as women, so if the Antichrist was going to be a woman, the pattern we see in the Bible is that we would have been specifically told of it.
In addition, this person is said to be an "assyrian", plus this person is clearly described as having a career that is political/military in nature.
This person is also said to make an attempt to annihilate all Jews and Christians from the face of the earth, to the point that even Hitler's Holocaust will seem like a warm-up act. That hardly sounds like the universal "love" theme that Oprah preaches so much.
So, I understand where the email's author is coming from, but there are just too may details in the Bible that are required of the Antichrist that Oprah doesn't match.
No offense taken here either.
I agree with Luke. I do think that Oprah has a lot of influence. Barack does too but he's not the anti christ either.
BUT, regarding the endtimes, I do believe we are in them, but I don't believe in the rapture. I don't think the rapture will happen (Sorry for those who do believe in it) but I do know that the anti christ- is actually the instead of christ- which means not Christ and therefore I think will be Satan. Satan is supernatural and will convince a lot of followers into thinking he is Christ when he is not. People will be very upset when Jesus comes and they realize they got taken for a ride.
There is this verse in the Bible that goes "He who shall be first, shall be last" and I take it to mean that he who comes first is Satan and he who comes next is Christ himself.
All of this has to be put into place for the end times to begin and it's all clearly written out if we rightly divide the bible, some is in Daniel, some is in Ezekial, some is in Revelations etc.
But what your daughter needs to realize is that just because someone doesn't say Jesus Christ is Lord doesn't make them bad. It just makes them politically correct. That's what Oprah's appeal is, she talks of love, understanding etc and is informational and that's her market. Her gift that she is using.
The influence that the anti christ will have is going to be very subtle to convince a lot of people and mostly the ones that are christians to believing whatever it is the anti christ wants them to believe.
17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever. 18Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
There will be plenty of those who will lead astray. Is Oprah doing true Christianity any good? No. New Earth is what God creates after the one we know now is destroyed. Oprah is just another self appointed preacher of their own truth.
The rest is all speculation. We will not know who it is until the antichrist that so many are looking for sits down in Jerusalem on the throne and declaires himself to be the one and only god. Until then - it's all talk and guessing.
Where is the characteristic that says the antichrist will no desire for women?
Also, the video won't play, it was taken down by My Space as a bad link or spam. That right there says a lot. Someone is trying to mess people up by feeding on their fear and paranoia of who the antichrist is. Either it was harmless spam or a lot of computers got goofed up.
Thank you all for your replies. I just sent this link to my Daughter so she can read them all.
[ Test the Spirits ] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Joint venture with Rocio Group results in a new company: Aviagen Peru
An historic joint venture represents Aviagen's first major presence in Latin America outside of Brazil, furthering the company's Latin expansion.
Company/products Hardware Equipment & innovation
by Laurence Williams
Aviagen® Group and Rocio Group signed a strategic agreement today for a joint venture. Under the agreement, Avicola del Norte (Avinor), a Rocio Group company, becomes a subsidiary of Aviagen under the name Aviagen Peru. The new business will help Aviagen realise its vision to further expand its reach in Latin America and maximise value in the Peruvian market.
Expanding global reach, enhancing customer service
Aviagen Brazil was established in 2007, and Aviagen Peru will mark Aviagen's first direct presence in Latin America besides Brazil. With a current and new sales, service and support team, as well as farms, hatcheries and other operations, Aviagen will be able to improve its parent stock (PS) production for the Peruvian market and better serve customers in the country.
Aviagen Peru will be based in Lima, the capital city of Peru, and poultry facilities are located in the city of Trujillo, La Libertad. Cesar Muro will remain as general manager for Aviagen Peru, reporting directly to Ivan Lauandos, president of Aviagen Latin America.
Avinor has been a Ross® products distributor in Peru since 1998, so the two companies have a strong and historic relationship.
em>From left to right: Ulises Quevedo (CEO of Rocio Group), Ivan Lauandos (president of Aviagen Latin America), Rafael Quevedo (Rocio Group founder) and Cesar Muro (General Manager, Aviagen Peru)
"Because Latin America is a key region for Aviagen and highly strategic for the entire poultry industry, the joint venture is an important step for us. The new company will share our vision of providing the region with high-quality broiler breeding stock to produce a healthy and sustainable source of protein – as well as value-added service to help customers get the best performance and profitability," explained Aviagen CEO Jan Henriksen.
For Ivan Lauandos, "Aviagen has always had a strategic vision of expansion in Latin America, believing the region will continue to increase its chicken production to meet consumption and export needs from the region. Peru has a strong history in poultry production, with excellent environmental conditions, thus making it a logical/strategic location."
Ulises Quevedo, CEO of Rocio Group, adds, "We were pioneers in supplying the Peruvian market, and today we further expanded our relationship with Aviagen and Avinor through the new company Aviagen Peru. Ours is a relationship based on mutual trust and sharing similar values."

US Student Detained in Israel for Alleged Boycott Support
News U.S. World
JERUSALEM — In a groundbreaking case, Israel has detained an American graduate student at its international airport for the past week, accusing her of supporting a Palestinian-led boycott campaign against the Jewish state.
The case highlights Israel's concerns about the boycott movement and the great efforts it has made to stop it. The grassroots campaign has made significant inroads in recent years, particularly among university students and millennials.
Lara Alqasem, a 22-year-old U.S. citizen with Palestinian grandparents, landed at Ben-Gurion Airport last Tuesday with a valid student visa. But she was barred from entering the country and ordered deported, based on suspicions she is a boycott supporter.
An Israeli court has ordered that she remain in custody while she appeals. The weeklong detention is the longest anyone has been held in a boycott-related case, and it was not immediately clear on Tuesday when a final decision would be made.
Alqasem, from the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Southwest Ranches, Florida, is a former president of the University of Florida chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. The group is a branch of the BDS movement, whose name comes from its calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel.
Using Nonviolent Means to Resist Unjust Policies
BDS supporters say that in urging businesses, artists and universities to sever ties with Israel, they are using nonviolent means to resist unjust policies toward Palestinians. Israel says the movement masks motives to delegitimize or destroy the Jewish state.
"Lara served as president of a chapter of one of the most extreme and hate-filled anti-Israel BDS groups in the U.S." — Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan
"Lara served as president of a chapter of one of the most extreme and hate-filled anti-Israel BDS groups in the U.S.," said Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, who spearheads the Israeli government's efforts against the boycott. "Israel will not allow entry to those who work to harm the country, whatever their excuse."
The ministry said that during Alqasem's involvement with Students for Justice in Palestine, the club advocated a boycott against Sabra hummus, an Israeli-owned brand of chickpea dip.
On Tuesday, Erdan floated a possible compromise, saying in a radio interview that he would rethink his decision to expel her if she apologizes and renounces her support for BDS.
"If Lara Alqasem will tomorrow in her own voice, not through all kinds of lawyers or statements that can be misconstrued, say that support for BDS is not legitimate and she regrets what she did, we will certainly reconsider our position," he said.
Israel enacted a law last year banning any foreigner who "knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel" from entering the country. It also has identified 20 activist groups from around the world whose members can be denied entry upon arrival. It so far has blocked 15 people from entering, according to Erdan's ministry.
Using a Variety of Sources to Identify BDS Activists
The ministry uses a variety of sources to identify BDS activists, including tips from informants and social media posts. The ministry says its suspicions were deepened after learning that Alqasem recently deleted all of her social media accounts.
In her appeal, Alqasem has argued that she never actively participated in boycott campaigns, and promised the court that she would not promote them in the future.
"We're talking about someone who simply wants to study in Israel, who is not boycotting anything," said her lawyer, Yotam Ben-Hillel. "She's not even part of the student organization anymore."
Alqasem is registered to study human rights at Israel's Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The university has thrown its support behind her, announcing on Monday it would join Alqasem's appeal.
She also received a boost from her former Hebrew professor at the University of Florida, who described her as an exceptional and curious student. In a letter to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Dror Abend-David said she had an "open and positive attitude toward Judaism, Jews, and the State of Israel."
Alqasem's Tolerance and Intellectual Drive
In an interview from Florida, her mother, Karen Alqasem, affirmed her daughter's tolerance and intellectual drive.
"Studying and getting to know the country was Lara's dream for as long as I can remember. She may have been critical of some of Israel's policies in the past but she respects Israeli society and culture." — Karen Alqasem, Lara's mother
"Studying and getting to know the country was Lara's dream for as long as I can remember," she told The Associated Press. "She may have been critical of some of Israel's policies in the past but she respects Israeli society and culture. To her, this isn't a contradiction."
Her lawyer and a group of opposition lawmakers have visited Alqasem and say she is in safe, but subpar, conditions. In a conversation with her daughter last Friday, Alqasem said Lara complained of a bedbug infestation in her cell. With her phone confiscated and communication mostly restricted to calls with her lawyer, Lara has felt "completely cut off from the world," she said.
In addition to the anti-BDS campaign, Israel has detained or interrogated a number of vocal Jewish critics, both Israeli and foreign, about their political views while entering the country in recent months. These tactics, along with legislation curbing the influence of anti-occupation advocacy groups, have raised concerns that the nationalist government is trying to stifle dissent.
The Strategic Affairs Ministry says it deals only with BDS cases. The Shin Bet, which oversees security procedures at border crossings, says it stops people only over security matters, not their political views.

When a the Signs of Concussion Mimic the Signs of Alcohol Impairment
This morning I received a call from a concerned father. His son had been arrested for DUI over the Memorial Day weekend. Dad, a former police officer and a no-nonsense kind of guy, was obviously concerned about his son who was a Dean's List student with a bright future ahead of him. I listened intently as he explained the case to me. For many years his son has suffered from insomnia. He had made the trip across Alligator Alley from the Naples area to visit relatives. Towards the end of the trip, he became fatigued and got off of the highway. The next thing he knew, he'd been in a two car traffic accident. The air bags deployed. The car was totaled. He had injuries to his knees and suffered a busted lip. Thank heavens, no one was severely injured. Then dad told me his son had absolutely no recollection of what happened.
My client's father went on to tell me told me that his son thought he performed the HGN field sobriety exercise satisfactorily. I don't yet know if any of the other field sobriety exercises were administered. The investigating officer believed he saw signs of impairment and arrested my client for DUI even though he had not had any alcohol to drink. When back at the police station, when offered to take a breath test to determine the alcohol content of his blood, my client readily agreed. Both samples were the same - .000 g/210L. What? No alcohol? How could that be?
The arresting officer was sure that my client was impaired, so he requested my client to provide a urine sample. Well, that's easier said than done. Have you ever tried to urinate while another person is watching you go? Not everyone can do it under the watchful eye of a complete and total stranger, let alone a police officer who just placed you under arrest. Paruresis, is the medical condition that is more commonly known as "shy bladder syndrome." It's a kind of phobia where a person can't urinate in the real or imaginary presence of others, such as in a public restroom. My client experienced this and when he couldn't produce a urine sample, the officer marked it down as a refusal.
My client's dad described his behavior since picking him up at the jail. As I listened, I found myself realizing that my client was wrongfully arrested for DUI. He wasn't impaired at all as the .000 Intoxilyzer results confirmed. He simply had an episode of "shy bladder syndrome" and couldn't provide a sample. That doesn't mean he refused to cooperate or that he was impaired from a controlled substance. He was simply over tired. He fell asleep and as a result of the collision suffered a concussion. Yes! A concussion! We've all seen a boxer take a hard punch to the head. The first thing we notice is that the legs get wobbly and the beleaguered pugilist staggers around looking like an aimless drunkard. So I did a little research.
I will have to do a lot more investigation and research and will hire an expert to help me defend my client. But it makes sense to me. Stay tuned.

With real time remote instrumentation abilities, students and teachers are able to collaborate with each other using the most cutting edge technologies, and through the gigabit network students and teachers have extensive access to a range of scientific resources. Such a high quality level of programming and research has raised students' engagement and confidence—rather than just being told what the future might look like for their college science classes —they are actively taking part in the future.
As a result of the program, research skills are climbing to new levels for K-12 students. As the program is being deployed in more schools in the coming semester, the entire Chattanooga community is proud to be a part of this model education program. What's more, for students working alongside their classroom teachers throughout Chattanooga area schools, the program is a powerful beginning for further explorations in their STEM education and careers.
