Q: LAMP - make directory accessible only to certain web pages I am tinkering around with webpages on a LAMP server running Apache2 and was wondering if it was possible to make a directory accessible only to your web pages and not from outside?
Example scenario:
Directory to protect: dir1 containing images (jpg, png)
My own webpage: mypage.html that calls images from dir1
My website: www.myweb.com that contains both dir1 and mypage.html
Currently, files inside the website can be accessed via www.myweb.com/dir1/somefile.jpg or by calling mypage.html
I would like it to only be accessible by calling mypage.html
I have tried the following:

*

*modifying .htaccess to disallow access of image types
<files "*.jpg">
  deny from all
</files>

(doesn't work because mypage.html cannot access it either)

*

*Modify apache2 conf file with:
<Directory /var/www/dir1>
   AllowOverride None
   <Limit GET POST OPTIONS>
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   </Limit>
</Directory>

(this actually semi-worked as it allowed me to write to directory but not read, maybe this can be modified to allow requests coming from internal web pages to go through?)
I guess to conclude, is there a way to get Apache2 to ONLY accept requests to access a directory if it is of a certain url of your choosing?
Thanks in advance.

A: So, I've decided that the approaches I've taken so far really don't cut it and found you could actually call a php function where
<img src='somefile.php?query=xxx' alt='pic'>

and where in the somefile.php I have that takes in img file name created from the query above.
echo file_get_contents($imgresource);

By serving the image from a php script and blocking this php script from being called without proper credentials, sessions, cookies and IP blocking, there is some security set.
So I guess it doesn't really answer the question in its entirety of blocking access only to some URLs but it works for the purpose of not being able to be accessed externally since I have buried the directory below (or above?) the web root directory where it can't be called from a url and only from internal script.

The act of drinking portrayed in statuary—the figure employs a traditional waterskin
Drinking is the act of ingesting water or other liquids into the body through the mouth, proboscis, or elsewhere. Humans drink by swallowing, completed by peristalsis in the esophagus. The physiological processes of drinking vary widely among other animals.
Most animals drink water to maintain bodily hydration, although many can survive on the water gained from their food. Water is required for many physiological processes. Both excessive and inadequate water intake are associated with health problems.
Methods of drinking
When a liquid enters a human mouth, the swallowing process is completed by peristalsis which delivers the liquid through the esophagus to the stomach; much of the activity is abetted by gravity. The liquid may be poured from the hands or drinkware may be used as vessels. Drinking can also be performed by acts of inhalation, typically when imbibing hot liquids or drinking from a spoon. Infants employ a method of suction wherein the lips are pressed tight around a source, as in breastfeeding: a combination of breath and tongue movement creates a vacuum which draws in liquid.[1]
In marine life
Amphibians and aquatic animals which live in freshwater do not need to drink: they absorb water steadily through the skin by osmosis.[2][3] Saltwater fish, however, drink through the mouth as they swim, and purge the excess salt through the gills.[3] Saltwater fishes do drink plenty of water and excrete a small volume of concentrated urine.
In land animals

A Jack Russell Terrier takes a drink of water.
By necessity, terrestrial animals in captivity become accustomed to drinking water, but most free-roaming animals stay hydrated through the fluids and moisture in fresh food.[4] When conditions impel them to drink from bodies of water, the methods and motions differ greatly among species.[2]
Cats, canines, and ruminants all lower the neck and lap in water with their powerful tongues.[2] Cats and canines lap up water with the tongue in a spoon-like shape.[5] Canines lap water by scooping it into their mouth with a tongue which has taken the shape of a ladle. However, with cats, only the tip of their tongue (which is smooth) touches the water, and then the cat quickly pulls its tongue back into its mouth which soon closes; this results in a column of liquid being pulled into the cat's mouth, which is then secured by its mouth closing.[6] Ruminants and most other herbivores partially submerge the tip of the mouth in order to draw in water by means of a plunging action with the tongue held straight.[7] Cats drink at a significantly slower pace than ruminants, who face greater natural predation hazards.[2]
Many desert animals do not drink even if water becomes available, but rely on eating succulent plants.[2] In cold and frozen environments, some animals like hares, tree squirrels, and bighorn sheep resort to consuming snow and icicles.[8] In savannas, the drinking method of giraffes has been a source of speculation for its apparent defiance of gravity; the most recent theory contemplates the animal's long neck functions like a plunger pump.[9] Uniquely, elephants draw water into their trunks and squirt it into their mouths.[2]
In birds
Most birds scoop or draw water into the buccal areas of their bills, raising and tilting their heads back to drink. An exception is the common pigeon which can suck in water directly by inhalation.[2]
Drinking can be observed in many insect species.[2]
In insects
Most insects obtain adequate water from their food: When dehydrated from a lack of moist food, however, many species will drink from standing water.[10] Additionally, all terrestrial insects constantly absorb a certain amount of the air's humidity through their cuticles.[10] Some desert insects, such as Onymacris unguicularis, have evolved to drink substantially from nighttime fog.[10]
Hydration and dehydration
Main articles: Tissue hydration and Dehydration
Like nearly all other life forms, humans require water for tissue hydration. Lack of hydration causes thirst, a desire to drink which is regulated by the hypothalamus in response to subtle changes in the body's electrolyte levels and blood volume. A decline in total body water is called dehydration and will eventually lead to death by hypernatremia. Methods used in the management of dehydration include assisted drinking or oral rehydration therapy.
An overconsumption of water can lead to water intoxication, which can dangerously dilute the concentration of salts in the body. Overhydration sometimes occurs among athletes and outdoor laborers, but it can also be a sign of disease or damage to the hypothalamus. A persistent desire to drink inordinate quantities of water is a psychological condition termed polydipsia. It is often accompanied by polyuria and may itself be a symptom of Diabetes mellitus or Diabetes insipidus.[11]
Human water requirements
Astronaut Thomas Reiter during Expedition 14 drinking water on the International Space Station
A daily intake of water is required for the normal physiological functioning of the human body. The USDA recommends a daily intake of total water: not necessarily by drinking but by consumption of water contained in other beverages and foods. The recommended intake is 3.7 liters (appx. 1 gallon) per day for an adult male, and 2.7 liters (appx. 0.75 gallon) for an adult female.[12] Other sources, however, claim that a high intake of fresh drinking water, separate and distinct from other sources of moisture, is necessary for good health – eight servings per day of eight fluid ounces (1.8 liters, or 0.5 gallon) is the amount recommended by many nutritionists,[13] although there is no scientific evidence supporting this recommendation.[14][15]
Main article: Alcoholic drink
The term "drinking" is often used metonymically for the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Most cultures throughout history have incorporated some number of the wide variety of "strong drinks" into their meals, celebrations, ceremonies, toasts and other occasions.[16] Evidence of fermented drinks in human culture goes back as early as the Neolithic Period,[17] and the first pictorial evidence can be found in Egypt around 4,000 BC.[18]
Alcohol consumption has developed into a variety of well-established drinking cultures around the world. Despite its popularity, alcohol consumption poses significant health risks. Alcohol abuse and the addiction of alcoholism are common maladies in developed countries worldwide.[19] A high rate of consumption can also lead to cirrhosis, gastritis, gout, pancreatitis, hypertension, various forms of cancer, and numerous other illnesses.[20]

Q: Not able to update new content in webview in fragment in android I have added two fragment in layout. One fragment is list view and one fragment is webview. In webview first showing default data. If the user clicks on list view data, I am not able to update new content in webview in fragment in android. Can anybody tell me what the problem is? How do I do this? See below my code. It's working in the emulator but not on the device.
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int posistion,
            long id) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                checkTablet=isTablet();
                if(checkTablet)
                {

                    webFragment=(WebViewFragment1)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.webFrag);
                    //webView=(WebView)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.loadWeb);
                //WebViewFragment1 webViewFragment=(WebViewFragment1).findViewById(R.id.loadWeb);
                    //webFragment=(WebViewFragment1)getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.webFrag);
                    DataGenerator dataGenerator=new DataGenerator();
                    String data=dataGenerator.getData(posistion);
                    System.out.println("data is"+data);
                    //webView.loadData(data, "html/data", "utf-8");
                    webFragment.loadWeb.loadData(data, "html/data", "utf-8");

                }
});

Thanks

A: In my opinion you need to add a fragmentTransaction, just like this:
android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

ft.replace(R.id.webFrag, your fragment);
ft.setTransition(android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_CLOSE);
ft.commit();

Comisia Unificată de Control (abreviat CUC; în ) este o forță tri-laterală de menținere a păcii și o structură de comandament militar comună formată din trimiși Republicii Moldova, Transnistriei și Rusiei, care operează în "zona de tampon" de la frontiera dintre Republica Moldova și Ucraina. Teritoriul disputat este controlat de așa-zisa Republică Moldovenească Nistreană.

Comisia a fost creată în scopul asigurării realizării în continuare a prevederilor corespunzătoare ale Acordului cu privire la principiile reglementării pașnice ale Conflictului din Transnistria, semnat de Republica și Rusia la 21 iulie 1992.

În ultimii ani CUC întâlnește dificultăți în activitatea, dat fiind faptul că atât partea separatistă, cât și F. Rusă dețin o poziție comună în majoritatea problemelor de pe ordinea zilei. Astfel la 1 martie 2013, reprezentanții structurilor de forță de la Tiraspol, traversând postul de "pacificatori" ruși, au intrat în Tighina și au efectuat percheziții cu aplicarea forței asupra mai multor persoane la o întreprindere, cu toate că ordinea publică în acest oraș este asigurată de către Comisia Unificată de Control, poliția Republicii Moldova și așa-numita "miliție transnistreană".

Once again pubs were the star performer with like-for-like sales up 5.1%, while restaurants saw a 2.4% increase in the six weeks to 6 January 2019, according to the latest Coffer Peach Business Tracker.
London also benefited more than the rest of Britain, with like-for-like sales up 5% compared to 3.8% outside the M25.
The positive results were in stark contrast to the "gloom hanging over retail", which according to the British Retail Consortium suffered its worst Christmas for a decade with zero sales growth," said Karl Chessell, director of CGA, which produces the Tracker in partnership with The Coffer Group and RSM.
"What these Tracker figures suggest is that consumers are being more selective about where they spend their money, and are looking for memorable experiences – like going out for a meal or drink with family or friends over Christmas – rather than just buying 'things'," he said.
Drink sales were the major driver of growth in pubs over the period, up 6.4% on last year compared to a 3.6% rise in food sales.
"Premiumisation will be a big part of that, and trading-up appears to have helped restaurants too, as the number of covers served rose only 1.3% from last year," said Chessell.
"What will be most encouraging for these pub and restaurant groups is that trading was positive throughout December, following a 1.5% sales uplift in November," he added.
Underlying annual like-for-like growth for the Tracker cohort, which represents both large and small groups, was running at 1.0% for the 12 months up to the end of the year, up from 0.7% at the end of November.
Total sales over the six week festive period, which include the effect of new openings since this time last year across the 49 companies in the seasonal Tracker cohort, were ahead 7.1% compared to same period in 2017.

With a larger contact surface against the skin and with a sweeping movement, treatments can be performed in only one third of the time compared to traditional IPL. A variety of other indications can also be treated – both pain-free and safe – which makes Cellox 20 a complete beauty clinic system.
In addition, Cellox 20 is manufactured in Sweden and each unit is tested and CE-marked by Swedish specialists.
Cellox 20 has a controlled pulse that is built up flash-fast to a safe level that is maintained for a long time (see figure). When the harmful pulse peaks are eliminated, treatment will be both safe and painfree. Combined with a thermo-electric cooling system, the risk of pain also decreases for sensitive skin.
Since Cellox 20 uses significantly less power than traditional IPL, it minimizes the risks of pigmentation and burns, while achieving better results. Cellox 20 can also be used on darker skin types (up to skin type 6).
Cellox 20 has an efficient thermo-electric cooling system for cooling the skin during treatment. This means, in addition to great efficiency, we can have a pain-free treatment and eliminate the risk of injuries even on darker skin.
With Cellox 20, you get three different hand-pieces, one with a spot size of 15 x 50 mm, which, along with the sweeping mode of operation and the high pulse rate, make it faster to cover a large area, and treatment thus goes up to three times faster.
Life expectancy is 200,000 pulses for each hand-piece. As an option, you can also order specific optional wavelengths.
1 treatment with Cellox 20.
4 treatments with Cellox 20.

Huge explosion rocks Chinese port city
News World Huge explosion rocks Chinese port city
9:45pm, Aug 13, 2015 Updated: 11:01am, Aug 14
Officials from the Chinese city of Tianjin, where two huge blasts killed 50 people, said they had discussed tightening safety standards with companies at the port just one week before the incident.
The explosions tore through the industrial area containing toxic chemicals and gas, killing at least a dozen firefighters and injuring 700 people, officials and state media said.
The People's Daily newspaper said four fires were still burning.
• Islamic State 'beheads Croatian hostage' in Egypt
• North Korea's vice-premier executed by firing squad: reports
• Missile pieces 'probably' found in MH17 debris
The Tianjin Administration of Work Safety posted a notice about the meeting with companies handling dangerous chemicals at the port on its website on August 6.
It did not give a specific date of when the meeting took place.
Despite the devastation, the port was operating normally, a port official said. Tianjin port is the gateway to northern China's industrial belt.
Xinhua said the explosions, the first equivalent to 3 tonnes of TNT and the second to 21 tonnes of TNT, ripped through a warehouse.
It identified the owner of the warehouse as Tianjin Dongjiang Port Ruihai International Logistics.
The company's website said it was a government-approved firm specialising in handling "dangerous goods".
Company officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
According to an assessment by government environmental inspectors published in 2014, the facility was designed to store several dangerous and toxic chemicals including butanone, an explosive industrial solvent, sodium cyanide and compressed natural gas.
CCTV said at least one person at a "relevant company" had been detained.
The blasts on Wednesday night were so large they were seen by satellites in space and the impact was so great the blasts sent shockwaves through apartment blocks kilometres away in the port city of 15 million people.
Internet videos showed fireballs shooting into the sky and the US Geological Survey registered the blasts as seismic events.
Vast areas of the port — the tenth largest in the world — were devastated, crumpled shipping containers were thrown around like match sticks, hundreds of new cars were torched and port buildings left as burnt-out shells, witnesses said.
Tianjin authorities said 12 firefighters were among the 44 killed.

The cause of the blasts was unknown but industrial accidents are not uncommon in China following three decades of breakneck economic growth.
The state-run Beijing News earlier cited Tianjin fire authorities as saying they had lost contact with 36 firefighters, and that another 33 were among the hundreds of people being treated in nearby hospitals.
The official Xinhua news agency said 1,000 firefighters and more than 140 fire engines were struggling to contain a blaze in a warehouse that contained "dangerous goods".
"The volatility of the goods means the fire is especially unpredictable and dangerous to approach," Xinhua said.
Several fire trucks had been destroyed and nearby firefighters wept as they worked to extinguish flames, the Beijing News reported.
President Xi Jinping demanded that authorities "make full effort to rescue and treat the injured and ensure the safety of people and their property".
Mr Xi said in a statement carried by official media that those responsible should be "severely handled".
Anxious residents rushed to hospitals to seek news about injured loved ones. Dozens of police guarded the entrance of the TEDA hospital, a witness said.
Pictures on Chinese media websites showed residents and workers, some bleeding, fleeing their homes. Xinhua said people had been hurt by broken glass and other flying debris.
Grey clouds of smoke billowed above the blast site and several trucks carrying paramilitary police — wearing masks to protect them from potentially toxic smoke — headed to the area.
The blasts shattered windows in buildings and cars and knocked down walls in a 2-km radius around the site.

The 31-year-old has been a terrific servant for the club, amassing 440 appearances since his debut, although with the midfielder now entering the latter stages of his career, the Hammers are looking to prepare for life after Noble.
As a result, Italian media outlet Calciomercatio are reporting that West Ham are monitoring PSV midfielder Hendrix, with a view to a possible move for the Dutchman.
The 23-year-old has been an ever-presented for last season's Eredivisie champions this campaign, playing every minute so far as the club sit top of the table with seven wins from seven games.
Utilised primarily as a holding midfielder, Hendrix is a versatile player, able to operate in a number of positions, including left back, although should he move to the London Stadium in the near future, will likely fill the void that Noble currently occupies.
An international with the Dutch national team and three-time Eredivisie champion, Hendrix would certainly add experience as well as energy in midfield, as Manuel Pellegrini continues to mould West Ham into his image.
Noble, however, has been a key factor in the club's recent upturn in form, helping the club claim seven points in their last three Premier League games, including an impressive display in their 3-1 win against Manchester United, where he provided the assist for Marko Arnautovic's goal.
With his contract at West Ham set to expire in the summer of 2020, Noble still has a few years left at the club, although recent reports suggest the Hammers have one eye on the future.

God likes Words — He called creation into existence through Words. God loves water, because He destroys our flesh with it, while delivering us as newborn babes in Christ through it. He is very pleased with bread and wine because He cradles His flesh within His promise so we may taste and see how good the Lord truly is. But what God loves most, what He cares for most — is you.
God loves people. He loves you; made in His image, in His likeness, reborn in the likeness of Christ. Because through you, He still speaks His Word of salvation into this world. Through the mouths of preachers people believe, through the conversations of a wife over coffee with a neighbor tears of comfort can freely pour, through a simple child's witness some of the greatest saints have believed.
And this brings us to some very special guests with us this morning. Welcome to our Summer Missionary class of 2015; our missionaries, spouses, and children. We are very pleased to have you join us here for the next two weeks during orientation.
It has been awhile now since you first started this process hasn't it? But now the long deliberations are over. Your church has called you, God has called you, and you accepted that call. It is time to be like Abraham, and to follow where God has called you — not knowing everything, but knowing your God would never steer you wrongly. You go to minister and love a people you do not even know yet, all the while leaving people you already know and love — but don't worry, God knows all and knows whom you are to love.
Big changes, lots of changes. But remember, your God is the One true God who does make big changes, who does do things greatly, and is the One who risks everything to go after that One lost sheep. That is your God. That is who He is. And so He has called you into a life that mirrors the very nature of God Himself — He does big things.
Your God does not do things lightly. He doesn't take the easy way out. He is a God who takes the long road, He is a God who stays the course no matter what, He is the God who is willing to go through for Himself a suffering and a death, so that there could be a resurrection.
God doesn't take the easy way out. Whether He is cradling you and your life, or desiring to draw the whole world under His wing – God doesn't do things lightly. God is not satisfied with staying in one corner of the world – that would be too light a thing. God refuses to close His mouth and speak to only one race of people – that would be too light a thing. Your God just doesn't do things lightly. He never has and He never will. It is not in His nature. The whole world is His and all that is in it, and He desperately wants that world and her people to come back under His protective wing.
Each of you here have been called by name to also never live your lives lightly. Whether you are a missionary, or a spouse, a child, whether you are someone who is working here in this building in the International Center — you have all been called by name. God knows who you are. He knows how you are attacked. He knows who attacks you. And our God does not abandon you to be ravaged by your flesh — because that would be too light a thing — He gives us a new life in Christ.
And when we die, and after the memory of who we are has faded from our friends and families minds, after our tombstones themselves have turned to dust by rain and wind and time, even after our bones have reverted back to dust — your God will not forget you, He will not abandon you — your God will never, never forget you or the promise He made to you that whoever has been united to Christ in His death through baptism … will also be united to Christ in His resurrection from the dead.
Today is a day of celebration for all of us here whether serving as missionaries or working here in the International Center. Because today we see how our God acts — He doesn't act lightly, He goes big, He goes for the whole world to bring His light to all the nations. And He goes really big by going really small; He knows your name, He knows your illness, He knows your sin, He knows what tempts you and who tempts you … and your God stakes His claim upon your life and your future just as much as He has staked a claim upon this whole world so that neither death nor suffering nor all the powers of Hell can ever pluck you out of His hand … because, let's face it, we worship a God who does not do things lightly. Amen.
And now may the peace of our God which surpasses all understanding keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

When individuals take into consideration constructing a house, they typically take into consideration supplies, brick, wooden, metallic and take into consideration the precise bodily construction of a house, however what many don't understand is which you can construct a house in so many different methods different than simply doing it bodily. There are literally thousands of people who construct properties day-after-day, with none supplies in any respect. All you want is love, creativity and the willingness to construct your house. How do you construct a house with out supplies? What occurs whenever you depart, do you convey your house with you,just like the turtle does? Or does your house scatter and disappear as if it was by no means there?
Love is a very powerful ingredient in any dwelling, it doesn't matter what the precise bodily substance is and it doesn't matter what 12 months the house is in-built, the very best and most necessary cement and mortar that you should utilize is love, kindness, and a devoted power and loyalty to these you're keen on. That's actually constructing a house. You might have most likely seen the mansions in California, mansions which have 100 rooms, swimming pools, digital surveillance methods and a few have a lot safety that they virtually have moats round them. So many instances, the common citizen could be envious of all that expense, land and materials issues. And but, additionally, most individuals know once they view these buildings that the majority of them are by no means actually properties however they're short-term, bodily constructions the place individuals collect, keep, go to and stay in between visits to actual properties. There could be a few of these large buildings and estates which can be truly actual properties, however they're uncommon and much and few in between the remainder of the mansions. And that's all as a result of supplies don't matter in constructing a house. Severely, they don't matter. Sure, supplies make people extra snug, however supplies are usually not the necessary glue or cornerstones of any actual human being's dwelling.
Love, the form of love that's wanted is an unconditional love however but a love that sees actuality. A love that is aware of that typically love is to self-discipline, and typically love is to have pleasure, enjoyable, laughter and communication. Sure, typically there may be time for all that. There may be all the time a craving for all that. However at instances in your conditions, there may be not all the time time or want for all of it. For examples, if the one you love is an drug addict who chooses to don't have any restoration plan however one who chooses to stick with unlawful medication slightly than to be healed or cured, then your love for that particular person though unconditional is adjusted based on circumstances. Your actual love is identical, that by no means alters, however what you modify is your perspective, actions and your connections to that particular person. In different phrases, you by no means have that particular person inside your house if that particular person is appearing out with unlawful medication or if that particular person is possessing medication. That's time to name the police, flip the particular person in and demand that unlawful medication by no means be introduced into your house. And that act is out of affection for your self first after which love for the opposite particular person. You're keen on your self –which God teaches us to do– by not allowing unlawful actions inside your house or in your property. So that's a technique that you just change issues, relying in your state of affairs. You continue to love the particular person, but you don't allow the particular person to contaminate your house or household by their unlawful drug use. Go to Toughlove for assist, and in actual emergencies name 911, sure, even on relations. That's how you're keen on God and love your self first.

Have you heard about the En-V® EC530 clearcoat?
Did you know that the new ENVIROBASE® High Performance En-V® EC530 clearcoat has 3 specially formulated temperature adjusted reducers? Based on new resin technology, EC530 is the first clearcoat to be offered that utilizes these unique reducers. The reducers will help painters "dial in" their clearcoat application based on spray room parameters and allow flexibility to paint from 1 panel to a complete overall. Additionally, painters outside of compliant areas have the choice to use these special reducers or their standard "DT" or "D" series reducers. Keep in mind too, if the repair is large (> 3 panels), consider moving to a higher temperature reducer to keep the film open longer. Either way, painters will be rewarded with a clearcoat that is easy to apply and provides superior gloss and hardness out of bake.

John's life is a beautiful testament to the power of redemption. John grew up without his club as he 2000. My mother was strong but she wasn't able to keep us out of the gangs and off of the streets and they were violent streets. At the age of thirty days he was arrested for bank robbery. Well John I was in prison he began reading the Bible and listening to Christian radio. One day he heard reverend Billy Graham and the radio we're playing Jesus wants to be lord of your life. When that day John dedicated his life to Christ. He spent the rest of his time in prison studying them when he was released he heard and not get his story. It was the officer who put him in jail. FBI special agent Richard Beasley who said I want you to now that I've been praying for you now Richard and job best friends. And we are grateful that Richard is here with us today. In the last ten years since John was released he's created one of the most successful reentry programs hole put prisoners in Las Vegas. I was glad to speak here earlier this year. As John says Paul for president is is a movement that began his children. In a tiny prisons. And is now making a difference in the lives of thousands truly bring in haul. That there is an opportunity and a community that is waiting and willing to offer them a second chance. Josh we gonna hit devotion to showing returning citizens.

And achieve their own American dream had a great American agreement is now I'd like to ask John and Richard. Just say a few words. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have the opportunity speech here today. Not so long ago Malek was running from the police fear and at least in the board and the police. Not because of anything that the police have done to me personally. But do Judy animosity and I had allowed to grow inside of me making me believe that they were my enemy. But today praised god I'm still will hold a proud American citizen who is being given a second chance. My transformation began an imprisoned so when I found myself a three time convicted felon facing yet another sentence. I gave my life to Jesus and medium a promise that I would spend the rest of my day he's helping others is like mean. My personal help and support came from the unlikeliest of places the FBI agent who arrested me Richard Beasley. He is now dear friend and has been assaults of encouragement. To me throughout my entire journey. I am great boom for the men and women of the law's biggest matchup on the police department. Volunteer their time to people who are returning to a local community incarceration. These are the real life heroes who put that lives on the line every day. Along with the promise that they've made to protect. And to serve have made a tremendous impact in the lives of men and women we integrate back into our society. My hope for America is that Foley incarcerated people will be afforded the opportunity to take advantage of the fact. There really isn't a nation and second chances. My hope for America's debt long horsemen and people into communities across the country can come together and realize that as Americans we have more common. There we have differences.

The families were there the community was there it's what a great second chance I also appreciate prison Trump's support for law enforcement. I always felt like I had strong supporters and FBI agent but there's nothing worse than knowing giving second guessed when you're doing your job.

Q: Given an external producer API that can be stopped and started, efficiently stop the producer when local buffer is full Suppose I am provided with an event producer API consisting of Start(), Pause(), and Resume() methods, and an ItemAvailable event. The producer itself is external code, and I have no control over its threading. A few items may still come through after Pause() is called (the producer is actually remote, so items may already be in flight over the network).
Suppose also that I am writing consumer code, where consumption may be slower than production.
Critical requirements are

*

*The consumer event handler must not block the producer thread, and

*All events must be processed (no data can be dropped).

I introduce a buffer into the consumer to smooth out some burstiness. But in the case of extended burstiness, I want to call Producer.Pause(), and then Resume() at an appropriate time, to avoid running out of memory at the consumer side.
I have a solution making use of Interlocked to increment and decrement a counter, which is compared to a threshold to decide whether it is time to Pause or Resume.
Question: Is there a better solution than the Interlocked counter (int current in the code below), in terms of efficiency (and elegance)?
Updated MVP (no longer bounces off the limiter):
namespace Experiments
{
    internal class Program
    {
        // simple external producer API for demo purposes
        private class Producer
        {
            public void Pause(int i) { _blocker.Reset(); Console.WriteLine($"paused at {i}"); }
            public void Resume(int i) { _blocker.Set(); Console.WriteLine($"resumed  at {i}"); }
            public async Task Start()
            {

                    {
                        for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
                        {
                            _blocker.Wait();
                            ItemAvailable?.Invoke(this, i);
                        }
                    }
                );
            }

            public event EventHandler<int> ItemAvailable;
            private ManualResetEventSlim _blocker = new(true);
        }

        private static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            var p = new Producer();
            var buffer = Channel.CreateUnbounded<int>(new UnboundedChannelOptions { SingleWriter = true });
            int threshold = 1000;
            int resumeAt = 10;
            int current = 0;
            int paused = 0;

            p.ItemAvailable += (_, i) =>
            {
                if (Interlocked.Increment(ref current) >= threshold
                    && Interlocked.CompareExchange(ref paused, 0, 1) == 0
                ) p.Pause(i);

A: If you are aiming at elegance, you could consider baking the pressure-awareness functionality inside a custom Channel<T>. Below is a PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<T> class that derives from the Channel<T>. It offers all the functionality of the base class, plus it emits notifications when the channel becomes under pressure, and when the pressure is relieved. The notifications are pushed through an IProgress<bool> instance, that emits a true value when the pressure surpasses a specific high-threshold, and a false value when the pressure drops under a specific low-threshold.
public sealed class PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<T> : Channel<T>
{
    private readonly Channel<T> _channel;
    private readonly int _highPressureThreshold;
    private readonly int _lowPressureThreshold;
    private readonly IProgress<bool> _pressureProgress;
    private int _pressureState = 0; // 0: no pressure, 1: under pressure

    public PressureAwareUnboundedChannel(int lowPressureThreshold,
        int highPressureThreshold, IProgress<bool> pressureProgress)
    {
        if (lowPressureThreshold < 0)
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(lowPressureThreshold));
        if (highPressureThreshold < lowPressureThreshold)
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(highPressureThreshold));
        if (pressureProgress == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(pressureProgress));
        _highPressureThreshold = highPressureThreshold;
        _lowPressureThreshold = lowPressureThreshold;
        _pressureProgress = pressureProgress;
        _channel = Channel.CreateBounded<T>(Int32.MaxValue);
        this.Writer = new ChannelWriter(this);
        this.Reader = new ChannelReader(this);
    }

    private class ChannelWriter : ChannelWriter<T>
    {
        private readonly PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<T> _parent;

        public ChannelWriter(PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<T> parent)
            => _parent = parent;
        public override bool TryComplete(Exception error = null)
            => _parent._channel.Writer.TryComplete(error);
        public override bool TryWrite(T item)
        {
            bool success = _parent._channel.Writer.TryWrite(item);
            if (success) _parent.SignalWriteOrRead();
            return success;
        }
        public override ValueTask<bool> WaitToWriteAsync(
            CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
                => _parent._channel.Writer.WaitToWriteAsync(cancellationToken);
    }

    private class ChannelReader : ChannelReader<T>
    {
        private readonly PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<T> _parent;

        public ChannelReader(PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<T> parent)
            => _parent = parent;
        public override Task Completion => _parent._channel.Reader.Completion;
        public override bool CanCount => _parent._channel.Reader.CanCount;
        public override int Count => _parent._channel.Reader.Count;
        public override bool TryRead(out T item)
        {
            bool success = _parent._channel.Reader.TryRead(out item);
            if (success) _parent.SignalWriteOrRead();
            return success;
        }
        public override ValueTask<bool> WaitToReadAsync(
            CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
                => _parent._channel.Reader.WaitToReadAsync(cancellationToken);
    }

    private void SignalWriteOrRead()
    {
        var currentCount = _channel.Reader.Count;
        bool underPressure;
        if (currentCount > _highPressureThreshold)
            underPressure = true;
        else if (currentCount <= _lowPressureThreshold)
            underPressure = false;
        else
            return;
        int newState = underPressure ? 1 : 0;
        int oldState = underPressure ? 0 : 1;
        if (Interlocked.CompareExchange(
            ref _pressureState, newState, oldState) != oldState) return;
        _pressureProgress.Report(underPressure);
    }
}

The encapsulated Channel<T> is actually a bounded channel, having capacity equal to the maximum Int32 value, because only bounded channels implement the Reader.Count property.¹
Usage example:
var progress = new Progress<bool>(underPressure =>
{
    if (underPressure) Producer.Pause(); else Producer.Resume();
});
var channel = new PressureAwareUnboundedChannel<Item>(500, 1000, progress);

In this example the Producer will be paused when the items stored inside the channel become more than 1000, and it will be resumed when the number of items drops to 500 or less.
The Progress<bool> action is invoked on the context that was captured at the time of the Progress<bool>'s creation. So if you create it on the UI thread of a GUI application, the action will be invoked on the UI thread, otherwise in will be invoked on the ThreadPool. In the later case there will be no protection against overlapping invocations of the Action<bool>. If the Producer class is not thread-safe, you'll have to add synchronization inside the handler. Example:
var progress = new Progress<bool>(underPressure =>
{
    lock (Producer) if (underPressure) Producer.Pause(); else Producer.Resume();
});

¹ Actually unbounded channels also support the Count property, unless they are configured with the SingleReader option.

A: This is relatively straightforward if you realize there are three "steps" in this problem.

*

*The first step ToChannel(Producer) receives messages from the producer.

*The next step, PauseAt signals pause() if there are too many pending items in the out panel.

*The third step, ResumeAt signals resume() if its input channel has a count less than a threshold.

It's easy to combine all three steps using typical Channel patterns.

producer.ToChannel(token)
    .PauseAt(1000,()=>producer.PauseAsync(),token)
    .ResumeAt(10,()=>producer.ResumeAsync(),token)
    ....

Or a single, generic TrafficJam method:
static ChannelReader<T> TrafficJam(this ChannelReader<T> source,
    int pauseAt,int resumeAt,
    Func<Task> pause,Func<Task> resume,
    CancellationToken token=default)
{
    return source
             .PauseAt(pauseAt,pause,token)
             .ResumeAt(resumeAt,resume,token);
}

ToChannel
The first step is relatively straightforward, an unbounded Channel source based from the producer's events.
static ChannelReader<int> ToChannel(this Producer producer,
                                    CancellationToken token=default)
{
    Channel<int> channel=Channel.CreateUnbounded();
    var writer=channel.Writer;
    producer.ItemAvailable += OnItem;
    return channel;

    void OnItem(object sender, int item)
    {
        writer.TryWriteAsync(item);
        if(token.IsCancellationRequested)
        {
            producer.ItemAvailable-=OnItem;
            writer.Complete();

        }
    }
}

The only unusual part is using a local function to allow disabling the event handler and completing the output channel when cancellation is requested
That's enough to queue all the incoming items. ToChannel doesn't bother with starting, pausing etc, that's not its job.
PauseAt
The next function, PauseAt, uses a BoundedChannel to implement the threshold. It forwards incoming messages if it can. If the channel can't accept any more messages it calls the pause callback and awaits until it can resume forwarding :
static ChannelReader<T> PauseAt(this ChannelReader<T> source,
        int threshold, Func<Task> pause,
        CancellationToken token=default)
{
    Channel<T> channel=Channel.CreateBounded(threshold);
    var writer=channel.Writer;

    _ = Task.Run(async ()=>
        await foreach(var msg in source.ReadAllAsync(token))
        {
            if(writer.CanWrite())
            {
               await writer.WriteAsync(msg);
            }
            else
            {
               await pause();
               //Wait until we can post again
               await writer.WriteAsync(msg);
            }
        }
    },token)
    .ContinueWith(t=>writer.TryComplete(t.Exception));

    return channel;
}

ResumeAt
The final step, ResumeAt, calls resume() if its input was previously above the threshold and now has fewer items.
If the input isn't bounded, it just forwards all messages.
static ChannelReader<T> ResumeAt(this ChannelReader<T> source,
        int resumeAt, Func<Task> resume,
        CancellationToken token=default)
{
    Channel<T> channel=Channel.CreateUnbounded();
    var writer=channel.Writer;

    _ = Task.Run(async ()=>{
        bool above=false;
        await foreach(var msg in source.ReadAllAsync(token))
        {
            await writer.WriteAsync(msg);
            //Do nothing if the source isn't bounded
            if(source.CanCount)
            {
                if(above && source.Count<=resumeAt)
                {
                    await resume();
                    above=false;
                }
                above=source.Count>resumeAt;
            }
       }
    },token)
    .ContinueWith(t=>writer.TryComplete(t.Exception));

    return channel;
}

Since only a single thread is used, we can keep count of the previous count. and whether it was above or below the threshold.
Combining Pause and Resume
Since Pause and Resume work with just channels, they can be combined into a single method :
static ChannelReader<T> TrafficJam(this ChannelReader<T> source,
    int pauseAt,int resumeAt,
    Func<Task> pause,Func<Task> resume,
    CancellationToken token=default)
{
    return source.PauseAt(pauseAt,pause,token)
             .ResumeAt(resumeAt,resume,token);
}


In 1968, vampires invade the home of young Jack Cutter's parents. Before he is killed, Jack's father gets him to safety, entrusting to his care a book that lists all the vampire families. In the present-day, Jack operates on his own, eliminating all of the vampire listed in the book one by one. After killing the latest batch of vampires in a restaurant, Jack is listed as a wanted fugitive by the LAPD. Raimy Baker, a tabloid journalist from the National Inquisitor, is sent to Los Angeles to get an exclusive but becomes involved when Jack forces her to drive away at gunpoint while being pursued by police. Raimy becomes drawn into helping Jack as he tries to kill the last of the vampire families before the coming eclipse when they will be able to breed more of their kind.
Night Hunter was a B action movie produced by Roger Corman's Concorde-New Horizons and expatriate Indian tennis player turned producer Ashok Amritraj. The film was mounted as a vehicle for kickboxing champion Don 'The Dragon' Wilson who had first come to fame in New Horizons' Bloodfist (1989) and a number of subsequent B films.
Night Hunter's distinction in retrospect might be that it was the first film to combine the vampire film with the action movie, something that became very popular over the next decade with efforts such as Blade (1998) and sequels, Underworld (2003) and sequels, Van Helsing (2004), BloodRayne (2005) and Ultraviolet (2006). Regular New Horizons director Rick Jacobson moves the action along with a general competence – Don 'The Dragon' Wilson showing his martial arts muscle and kicking heads in, lots of artillery shot, a car chase/shootout. The film all comes down at the level of a B action movie and at least delivers what is expected of it in this regard.
Ultimately the failing of Night Hunter might be that it is nothing more than a routine actioner. Certainly, as a vampire film, it has almost nothing interesting to say. The script shuffles around many of the elements that would become cliches amid the abovementioned and other subsequent vampire films – the vampire hunter who is single-mindedly determined to avenge the death of his loved ones a la Blade, factions that have fought wars across the ages, the eclipse seen as a crucial event for vampires, not to mention the wildly overused plot about the lead vampire seeing the female lead of the show as a reincarnation of his lost love.
What is disappointing about the film is the fact that it leaves a good deal about its set-up unexplained. The Hunters are supposed to be the vampires' nemeses across the ages but Don 'The Dragon' Wilson appears to be the only one of them and it is never explained who The Hunters are. There is no clear explanation of how Don 'The Dragon' has gained some of his abilities – like being able to sniff out vampires or what his mysterious vial of healing fluid does. Or for that matter how The Hunters and Don's father obtained the list of vampire families. The film disposes much of the supernatural element of vampirism (even their aversion to daylight), which can be potentially interesting, but here serves to make for mundane vampires that never seem to do much more than demonstrate an invulnerability and an occasional taste for blood. If the film had spent more time on exposition than it did on action scenes, it would have helped no end.
The script comes from William A. Martell who has written a number of other action films, mostly for Concorde-New Horizon and Ashok Amritraj. One of Martell's idiosyncrasies is that he names all the characters after horror film directors (something that was to become a cliche in the next few years too). Here we get characters named after Dario Argento, Tod Browning, William Castle, Terence Fisher, Jimmy Sangster, Jacques Tourneur, Edgar G. Ulmer, a Roy Ward and a Baker after Hammer director Roy Ward Baker, as well as a heroine named Raimy (after Sam Raimi) and a supporting heavy named Sid O'Mack after genre screenwriter Curt Siodmak.
Rick Jacobson has directed a number of other films for New Horizons and Ashok Amritraj, principally of the action variety, including Bloodfist VI: Ground Zero (1995), Lion Strike (1995) and Bloodfist VIII: Trained to Kill (1996) with Don 'The Dragon' Wilson. Jacobson's other genre films include Dragon Fire (1993), Terminal Voyage (1994), The Unborn II (1994), Suspect Device (1995), Black Thunder (1998) and A Bold Affair (1998).


I attended the LOVE IS MURDER conference in Rosemont, Illinois. This convention is designed for mystery and romance authors and is always lots of fun!
Here are some photos from my weekend.
LOVE IS MURDER! Indeed, although in this case, it's the name of a mystery and romance authors's convention that takes place in Chicago each year on the exact same weekend as the Super Bowl (easy to remember). I've been in the past and I'm going again this year for two reasons. First, my latest Pamela Barnes acoustic mystery MURDER IN THE ROUND has been nominated for a Lovey Award (the convention's own awards for best in various categories of romance and mystery genres). Second, I'm slated to be on a panel of experts discussing the importance of research to our mystery writing. I have a lot to say as I spend many years conducting research into various vocal phenomena using acoustic and human subjects while I was a professor in the Communication Department at the University of Louisiana. As some of you know, I've transferred quite a bit of that research to my heroine Pamela Barnes, who now uses my findings to solve ghastly murders (which I never did). I'm looking forward to serving on this panel and being able to discuss my research, which I haven't done in quite some time.
If any of you are in the Chicago area the first weekend of February, please stop by the LOVE IS MURDER convention at the Intercontinental Hotel near O'Hare Airport in Rosemont. My panel takes place on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m.

The Bridge to Synch?
The Bridge with Kira featuring Jake Kotze
I was watching Prince's movie 'Graffiti BRIDGE' starring and directed by himself and also starring his band 'The Revolution' (Update: The Revolution were in his last two movies, but not this one ... my bad) last night and thought it was funny seeing this post about Jake being on 'The Bridge' at REVOLUTION Radio.
The Bridge with Kira airs live every Saturday 4-6 pm EST on Revolution Radio at http://www.freedomslips.com and is simulcast on http://www.reallibertymedia.com and replayed on http://www.peoplesinternetradio.com on Tuesday 6-8 pm EST
For more about Jake Kotze visit his Youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/Seallion
Plus hearing Jake talk about the number 42 I thought it was synchy that 'Graffiti BRIDGE' has a rating of 4.2 at it's IMDB page.
"Graffiti Bridge is the unofficial sequel to Purple Rain.
In this movie, The Kid and Morris Day are still competitors and each runs a club of his own.
They make a bet about who writes the best song and the Kid's club is on the line.
But the Kid has become a brooding character who writes letters to his dead father and ponders spirituality.
Under the Graffiti Bridge in the park, he meets Aura, an angel-like poet with whom he falls in love.
Once again, Morris tries to steal his girl, and in the end, she dies in a tragic accident.
But not in vain, she has given the Kid his edge back, and Morris gives in and lets him keep the club after hearing the moving ballad the Kid composed." .
Also with all the talk about the number 13 in The Bridge podcast I thought it was synchy that Morris Day (Prince's cousin) was born on December 13, 1957 and has 13 acting credits on his IMDB page.
Morris was born on the 13th day of the 12th month of the year, too.
"Despite media hype of it being the sequel to the massively successful Purple Rain, it was a commercial and critical failure and was included on several Worst-of-1990 movie lists.
Graffiti Bridge currently holds a 13% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 23 reviews".

Barack Obama to make historic first presidential visit to Hiroshima, White House says
"Barack Obama will visit Hiroshima at the end of this month, making him the first sitting United States president to visit the city since the first atomic bombing in 1945.
More than 220,000 people were killed in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which were authorised by another US president, Harry S. Truman, almost 71 years ago.
Already the White House has ruled out an apology for the bombings, saying Mr Obama is not prepared to revisit the original decision to drop the bomb.
The White House says he will lay a wreath at the peace monument in Hiroshima and is expected to make a speech about his ambitions for a nuclear-free world.
But he would not apologise for America's actions in dropping the bomb.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will go with Mr Obama to Hiroshima and said survivors of the bomb will see it as a significant step.
"I believe President Obama visiting Hiroshima, seeing the realities of an atomic bomb attack and sending out his message to the world, will further boost our efforts to realise a world without nuclear weapons," he said."
One of the reoccurring phrases in the movie 'Graffiti Bridge' is,
"It's just around the corner" and I had read this paragraph in Hugh Mackay's book, 'What Make Us Tick' from a sub-chapter called 'Falling in Love' on page 279 -
"The second decoy arises from the very intensity of our desire for love: we can fall in love with love - with the idea of love.
We can inflate and over-interpret the small thrill of the flirtation, or the blindness of the fleeting infatuation, simply because we want to be swept away.
In 'Kissing Frogs', Andee Jones describes her experience of seeking romantic love through internet dating and writes that 'internet dating sites make it easy to construct our own ideal persona for another person to fall in love with', and vice versa, of course.
The desire for romance can easily fool us into a heightened expectation of love 'just around the corner'."
... to find your Prince?-)
SPOILER ALERT!!!
While the above screen shot from 'Graffiti BRIDGE' seems to show Prince getting run over, it's a superimposed shot of Prince yelling out "no" as a 4WD comes around the corner and kills his "angel", who is standing in the middle of the road.
Brisbane traffic: Pedestrian dies after incident on Wickham Street in Fortitude Valley
And the weird thing is that today I got stuck in inner city traffic for 45 minutes on the way to pick up my son from work to go and see a movie (The Nice Guys) and I had to drive past this accident scene to get to his work.
I had set off from New Farm Park where I was trying to finish the last chapter of 'What Makes Us Tick', so I could give it to my son to keep, as I thought there are some good life lessons in that book.
I usually head to the park early to read a book and sit out the peak hour traffic before I pick him up and head back to the cinema, but tonight I left the park at 5:15 pm, like I usually do when we go see a movie, a trip that usually takes no more than 15 minutes to get to his work, but because of this accident it took nearly an hour to get to his work and we only made it into the cinema as the movie started playing.
Not that I was too worried about the movie when I had the feeling that someone had lost their life under that truck I had to pass by that was surrounded by police and firetrucks.
It wasn't till I got home and looked for news as to what had happened at that road accident scene that I found the above news story that confirmed my suspicions of the loss of a life.
This post was still in progress when I had left home to go to the movies, so this post was only going to end with the screen shots of the 'just around the corner' sign from the movie.
But this accident I had to drive past really brought home those words tonight.
And if you have seen the movie 'The Nice Guys', then you will know that one of the bad guys in that movie gets accidentally run over and killed (with a little help from his "rescuer") when standing in the middle of the road as a van comes around the corner, as well.
So, I guess no one really knows what's "just around the corner" when it comes to life ... or love.
White feather falling from sky in 'Graffiti Bridge'
UPDATE: 3rd June, 2016
I have to mention also after seeing the movie 'The Nice Guys' that I thought it was rather synchy that one of the last sub- chapters I had read was, "How Do We Explain Our Love Affair with the Car When Public Transport Makes More Sense?".
Hugh writes in that chapter, "... cars kill more than one million people worldwide every year and make a significant contribution to pollution of the atmosphere - especially the air that supports human life in all the world's big cities.
Those cities themselves are becoming increasingly unattractive to their inhabitants because of the traffic congestion created by the huge and growing level of car ownership.
In other words, courtesy of the very cars that we ourselves own and drive, we are systematically choking our cities, and ourselves".
Which oddly enough is a major theme in 'The Nice Guys' movie.
A roadside memorial to James in Burbank, Brisbane
Not only that, but I was stuck for a good thirty minutes in James Street while trying to get to my son's work at Newstead while police directed traffic around a road fatality.
Which now makes me think how ironic that I was stuck in
James Street when I always drive past a memorial to a boy named James who was hit and killed on a road I travel to get to my favourite cinema complex at Victoria Point on the outskirts of Brisbane.
It never fails to tug my heart strings when I pass that memorial and to think what pain his poor parents must be in and how it will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Robert Otway-Cave (1796 – 29 November 1844), styled The Honourable from 1839, was an Irish aristocrat and British politician.

Life

Early life and succession
Born Robert Otway, he was the only surviving son of Henry Otway and his wife, the 3rd Baroness Braye, of Castle Otway, County Tipperary in Ireland. His uncle was Sir Robert Otway, 1st Baronet, an admiral in the Royal Navy. He was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford, matriculating in 1815.

Otway succeeded his father in 1815, inheriting the family seat at Castle Otway. In 1818, he took by royal sign manual the additional surname of Cave, the maiden name of his mother, to whose title he was heir apparent.

Political career
Otway-Cave entered the British House of Commons in 1826, sitting for Leicester the next four years. In August 1832, he was elected for Tipperary, which he represented until December. He was again returned for the constituency in 1835, a seat he held until his death in 1844.

Personal life
On 23 October 1833, he married Sophia Burdett, the eldest daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet. Otway-Cave died aged 48, after a short illness, at Bath, Somerset. He had no issue; he was laid to rest in a family tomb in St Nicholas Church, Stanford-on-Avon, Northamptonshire. Castle Otway passed, on his wife's death in 1849, to his cousin, Vice-Admiral Robert Jocelyn Otway. The barony passed into abeyance in 1862 on the death of his mother.
