Have you had issues with your site being compromised by malicious software, or code injections causing redirects to sites that are not connected to you in anyway? Fear not, we are here to help and advise you on the steps to take to remedy this.
The winter nights are coming closer, it gets cooler, colder and the says shorter. Your Wordpress site is seeing more and more hits as people spend more time online browsing. It may be cold outside, but you are warmed by optimism as your traffic increases. All is going well, your site looks pretty gosh darn spiffing, your theme looks great and those new plugins you installed have made updating the Wordpress site a doddle! You close your laptop in the knowledge all is well and feel good about your efforts.
The following day, you come home from work and open up your site. A page for a… lets just say bare lady and men bits opens up. You quizzically wonder what's happened here… typing in the address for your Wordpress site and it opens again, with a pop for performance enhancing drugs… I mean the 'stick-up' not 'stack-up' kind. It's clear, you have been hacked… but why? Why would someone hack your site, you don't have any enemies… you're dumbfounded. But also at a loss as to how you should go about remedying such an issue.
Well there is a solution for this issue, and follow the steps below to find a solution to your ongoing issues.
First you need to find out exactly what is happening with your Wordpress site. Are you sending spam to your customers? Is there a strange redirect occurring when your click on links or images on your Wordpress pages? Or are are there signs of phishing attempts on your Wordpress site?
I've spoken about some of these issues before, in this blog post.
The first step, and one I always say is "Stay Cool"… panicking will not resolve the hacking issues you are facing, nor will it make the hackers go away. Keep a calm head and proactively attack and respond to the problems.
First you should log into your Wordpress site host and go to your 'Account Management' settings.
From here you can navigate to 'Manage' then the 'Settings' option.
On the 'Settings' page click on 'FTP Users' and amend, modify or even completely change the permissions, passwords and reduce the opportunities for anyone to access your account.
If you're not sure what to do from here, you can always contact us to 'Hire an Expert' who can not only walk you through the process, but also advise you on what to do following this.
After you have updated your passwords, log in to your Wordpress Dashboard and update all your plugins, usually the vulnerabilities are to be found in plugins that haven't been updated on a frequent basis, or even for a long period of time. This is where hackers continually find exploits in order to manipulate a seemingly innocuous website to do their bidding. Don't give them the opportunity by overlooking updating your Wordpress plugins, when prompted… update!
It is very simple and should you require any additional help, do not hesitate to Contact Us.

Unquestionably, the most popular layout plan on earth is the humble Pizza — a circle
of track that looks llke it might be stored in a pizza box. Here's a tasty collation
of the latest, best pizzas that have been delivered to my mailbox
from around the world. I hope their variety, style, and
inventiveness will amaze and inspire you!
THIS ATMOSPHERIC PIZZA IS MADE OF CARDBOARD!
Andrew Milner, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, built this stunning 18x16in (45x40cm) pizza layout in order to enter a competition in the Gnatterbox, the celebrated Gn15 online forum. The challenge was to build a layout whose structure and scenic elements were entirely made from cardboard! Andrew's layout complies with that requirement – from corrugated cardboard baseboard to cardstock building and papier-mâché landscape.
In addition, Andrew created a unique lighting system (lower left photo), a lightbox using a battery-operated fluorescent tube in a white box with a diffuser (tracing paper) to give the effect of an overcast day. The results are evident from these wonderful, atmospheric photographs.
And there's more. The angle grinder being used inside the loco shop also throws a realistic trail of sparks. "I wanted to incorporate more animation effects but ran out of time," Andrew comments. "I'm also pleased that at the age of 45 and with 35 years or more of armchair modelling, thanks to your site (it was the link from your pages) I finally built a layout!" You can see more photos and construction details in Andrew's thread on the Gnatterbox. The layout, named Arthur Crumb for obvious reasons, placed second against stiff competition. Congratulations, Andrew!
SMALL, CIRCULAR TABLES MAKE GOOD PIZZA BASEBOARDS
Michael-John Idzerda, from London, Ontario, Canada, built this 22in (56cm) diameter pizza on a $4.99 CAN table found at a local thrift shop. The N-scale track work is simply flex track on cork, with one switch. The landscape is made from scored pink foam, painted cream and colored with dyed inks and Woodland Scenics trees.
MJ reports that he has already started another pizza layout, this one a trolley line in O scale. Take warning: these little circular track layouts are addictive!
VERTICAL-PIZZA TREND REACHES NEW MILESTONE — LIVE STEAM!
American David Wegmuller has come up with a unique vertical pizza design, where the motive power is a Number 1 gauge (45mm, same as G-gauge) live-steam locomotive! The valiant little lokey, appropriately, has a vertical boiler. There are more pictures at Dave's website, and you can see this incredible "layout" in action by clicking on the triangle below. Thanks to Englishman Tim Roy for ferreting this one out and sending it to me!
For a view of other vertical pizza designs, see Scrapbook #67a.
YES! On30 STOCK WILL OPERATE ON A 9in (23cm) RADIUS
Keith Gamble, from Anderson, Indiana, USA, built the On30 Crooked Branch Coal Co. as a portable layout to take to train shows. Dennis Vaccaro, from Western Pennsylvania, USA spotted the layout at a club show in Indianapolis and took these photos.
Radius of the end curves is 9in (23cm), and Keith finds his narrow-gauge stock will operate very smoothly at that curvature. The oval has one turnout, to a lone siding, and overall size is 30x20in. I particularly like the way Keith's bare-branched trees blend into the backscene of similar trees.
GARDEN RAILROADER TRIES OUT A Gn15 PIZZA
Michael Ebert, from Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany, was inspired after seeing one of my books to attempt his first micro layout. He's a garden railroader, so his micro was built in Gn15 scale (!:22.5 running on 16.5mm HO-width track). His 30x30cm (1ft square) layout depicts the display stand of a supplier of mining equipment at an industrial fair in the 1960s.
The layout is built on a 5mm plywood board and travels in an aluminum suitcase along with the controller and scratchbuilt rolling stock. As Michael is fond of technical gimmicks, he also included a couple in this tiny display layout. The flagpole is a working model, and each figure is pivoted on one foot to turn it around. Michael is an officer of his model railroad club, Der Modelleisenbahnclub Fürstenfeldbruck.
Thanks to fellow club-member Sven Wesenberg, from Munich (München), Germany, who provided all this information (in English!) and took the photographs.
N SCALE CIRCLE PROVIDES HOURS OF FUN
This N-scale pizza, 10 Mile Branch, was built on a 19in (48cm) diameter table top by John Lucas, from Troy, Alabama, USA. As John's wife donated the table that supports the layout, she was given her choice of scenic treatment. John reports, "She suggested 'something with horses.' I already had the stables that I had bought pre-assembled on e-Bay. In addition to the stables, the layout features a pumpkin patch and a Christmas tree farm. I cut the landforms from styrofoam and covered them with Model Magic from Crayola."
The name 10 Mile Branch is taken from a local stream. John has put up more photos of the layout on his website, and made a very nice video presentation, shown directly below.
TRACKPLAN INSPIRED BY PROTOTYPE PIZZAS
Joe Hall, from O'Fallon, Missouri, USA, wanted a pizza style layout for continuous running, but felt the need for something more to enhance operations. His first try at designing a combo layout is shown at right. The plan combines a circular pizza with an Inglenook-style yard. It's called The Key. If built with Atlas Snap Track sections, it measures 67x40in (170x102cm) and has an 18in (45cm) radius.
But Joe was concerned that this design was not prototypical, so he went looking for prototypes to which it might be adapted. And he found some! As Joe put it, "With just a few enhancements, and a quick look on maps.live.com, we can find not only situations that involve switching but also real life pizzas. I submit the railroad museum. There are at least three U.S. railroad museums (and there could be more) that have a circuit of track allowing them to run their equipment in a continuous manner, just like a pizza layout, and they have switching operations as well.
"Consider the following real places in the U.S. and follow the links to aerial views of them:
– National Railroad Museum, Green Bay, Wisconsin
– Nevada State Railroad Museum, Carson City, Nevada
– Colorado Railroad Museum, Golden, Colorado.
"Even though most railroad museums operate in a back-and-forth manner (if they operate at all), the museums shown here have continuous running operation. The Colorado Museum is a perfect real-life small layout—not much planning needed!"
Joe decided to plan a small layout around a railroad museum, noting the advantages of such a plan: you can prototypically run a wide and varied collection of equipment; many museums have a surprising amount of operating capability, including regularly scheduled trains as well as making up and breaking down consists and servicing locomotives; and a connection to the outside world can bring in shipments of coal, oil, rail, ties, and newly acquired equipment and lets you send out shipments of sold, leased or restored equipment.
Joe's suggested layout is shown here. He comments, "With a railroad museum anything is possible. Variety is the norm. And there's the added challenge of actually modeling rundown dilapidated or disassembled equipment that a struggling railroad museum would naturally collect, but not have the funds to restore. The Southwestern Railway Museum is an HO scale layout loosely based on the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Its overall size is approximately 79x41in (200x104cm), and it uses 18in (45cm) minimum radius, both Atlas and Roco turnouts, and a 9in (23cm) turntable. This layout would do well with short equipment."
TWICE-AROUND PIZZA PROVIDES OPERATION — IN Gn15
Scott Buschlen, from Brampton, Ontario, Canada, built this two-level (inside-out Figure 8) pizza layout in Gn15 scale. It's called The Crouton Gin Works of Upper Faylesylvania (honoring two fellow Canadian modelers) and measures 120x72cm (47x28in). There's a cleverly hidden—and very steep—pair of inclined tracks at the back, where the main line crossed over itself. Scott admits that the steep grades limit the rolling stock that can be used, but look at the scenic and operating possibilities out front!
Scott comments, "The Main Building is modeled after a drawing from Peter Barnfield`s Steam Pencil work called the Wellington Boot Company… The figures and the fuel tower are from Schomberg Scale Models, everything else is from my own castings or is scratch built. The layout is built on pink foam insulation board using customized Atlas track and Peco turnouts." [Ed. note: Scott is preparing a website to sell his excellent castings. We'll update you on the address when it's ready.]
AND NOW FOR A FRENCH PIZZA LAYOUT — QUICHE LORRAINE!
You would expect that France, the home of fine cuisine, would cook up its own unique version of a pizza layout. And so it has. G. Geoffroy, from Neuves-Maisons, France, has unveiled — Quiche Lorraine! It's an N-scale pizza layout, 52cm (20.5in) in diameter, with scenery that creates a strong resemblance to its namesake dish (but is made from cardboard and sawdust)!
GG, who lives in the Lorraine region of France, has a fine sense of humor that also reveals itself in the video version of his simple layout. Just click on the triangle below (and be sure your sound is on).
ON A LESS APPETIZING NOTE: HERE'S A GUANO MINE AND RAILWAY
Turning from the sublime to the ingenious, Fred Miller, from Mount Vernon, Missouri, USA, has built Marksberry Guano Company, a fertilizer-mining operation named in honor (?) of a fellow modeler. It's an On18 streak of rust, measuring 30x16in (76x40cm) and 17in (43cm) high. It fits into and travels in a standard 45-gallon plastic storage tote (above right).
The track plan is a basic pizza oval, but that's only a small part of the story. Fred describes the layout as being "finished all the way around. On the front is a trestle with processing equipment under it, and the sides and back are the underground portions and are on two levels in places."
The trestle and hopper for tipping loads of quano into the boiler house are shown above left. Cutouts in the back wall reveal the details of the mining operation (below, from left): digging out the guano, sliding it via a chute into the lift hopper, and manually winding up the lifting mechanism to bring the precious payload up to track level. The rest we will leave to your imagination! (For more information, see Fred's thread on "2 guyz and sum trains."
* * * A BLIZZARD OF WINTER PIZZAS * * *
The December holiday season seems to bring out a model rail's
latent desire to run trains in the living room or dining room.
And a winter-themed pizza layout usually results!
Here's a sampling from the season just past.
Francesco Zezza, from Rome, Italy, built this N-scale Winter Pizza (aka "The Lost Mine") in a 60x30cm (24x12in) space. Most of it is recycled—used track, turnout from the garbage bin, reused trees and rocks, etc. Rolling stock is anything on hand… Francesco has carefully avoided any scenery from a specific place ("A pine tree is a pine tree anywhere," he says), so trains from many countries can run on this layout. The entrance to a tiny, abandoned mine earned the layout its nickname.
Nathaniel Hopkins, from Lexington, Kentucky, USA, put together this "quickie" N scale pizza to have a train at Christmas. "My wife and I moved into our first house on Halloween… Being a regular reader of your Scrapbook which often features fairly simple thrown-together setups that look great regardless, I decided there was no reason we too shouldn't have something. It is built on a less than 24-inch-square piece of scrap plywood… I added a white towel with some crushed paper underneath to make a snowy hill, some scale Preiser polar bears that I had never known what to do with, and some totally out of scale trees that are actually decorations from our wedding cake." Ingenuity triumphs!
Sven Löffler, from Frankfurt, Germany, built this 33x33cm (13x13in) pizza layout in H0e scale (1:87 on 9mm gauge) using some old Eggerbahn trackage. A key feature of the layout is that it can be converted from winter to summer simply by vacuuming away the Noch snow! When winter comes again, the snow can easily be rescattered.
Brian Collins, from Utica, New York, USA, built his winter line as a Gn15 industrial railway operated by Ballantyne Custom Built Snowmen to haul finished snowmen from the factory in the mountain to the pickup/shipping area around the bend and behind the other side of the mountain. Brian notes, "The layout is a 16x36in (40x90cm) rectangle built to fit in the corner of the kitchen, as requested by my wife. The track plan is a simple oval, with a 6in radius curve at one end and a 5in radius curve at the other… Figures are a G scale locomotive driver and various snowmen from my wife's collection. Rolling stock includes a critter locomotive built on an HO scale 0-4-0 tank engine mechanism and a flat car made from an HO scale caboose."
G SCALE PIZZAS TEND TO BE ON THE LARGE SIDE…
Joe Lockhart, from Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, who last appeared on this site in Scrapbook #49 with an N-scale pizza in a briefcase, has grown somewhat! He displayed this 8x8ft (2.4×2.4m) G-scale layout at the Indianapolis Great Train Expo last winter and was featured on the morning local news show, making new friends for model railroading. Summarizing the layout's appeal, Joe noted:
"Being only 8x8ft with four running G-Scale trains, five different types of bridges, a water-fed gristmill, supply house, coke bottling company, two-story train station and plans for general store with gas pumps… that's a lot in two 4x8ft tables! I just thought it might inspire some other arm chair modelers." So do we, Joe… that's why we're running it in the Small Layout Scrapbook!
(Ed. Note: Joe's N-scale briefcase layout was also on display at the Expo, and he reports that it actually got more attention than the larger G exhibit! There's a moral there somewhere.)
WHEREAS Z SCALE PIZZAS TEND TO BE QUITE SMALL…
Probably the smallest pizzas on this site are these two Z-scale layouts with a 14mm (.55in) radius, designed and built in Germany by Manfred Sobczak. The bases and track of both layouts were fabricated by Walter Völklein, from Mühlhofen, Germany. Walter soldered two rings of rail on a copper-clad printed circuit board (upper right), then ground away the cladding to separate the rails electrically. Manfred built the remainder of the layouts on these basic boards. Both layouts are fully functional, and Märklin locomotives like the BR89 shown run comfortably on them. On my screen the photos appear larger than the actual layouts!
The larger layout (above left) has a built-in controller, batteries, and switches for power and reversing. The streetlight is also illuminated by batteries. The smaller of the two layouts (lower right), holds a built-in reed-contact and electronics—you control the locomotive and lamp light using a magnetic pen. Manfred warns that locomotives for these layouts require a wheelbase no longer than 12 mm (less than half an inch)!
For more see Walter's website (click on "Komplettlösungen"). Thanks to Paul Lipiarski, a Z-scale fan from New Jersey, USA, for calling this remarkable work to my attention! (Photos used with kind permission of Manfred Sobczak and Walter Völklein.)
EXTREME SCENERY CAN CREATE A TERRIFIC EFFECT!
Steve Jarman, from St. Louis, Missouri, USA, is "reaching for the sky" with the scenery on his 48x24in (120x60cm) two-level On30/0e pizza layout. His dramatically developing scenery clearly shows the influence of John Olsen's work that appeared in Model Railroader magazine a few years back.
"But more importantly," Steve points out, "this layout was designed with sound in mind. I really want to demonstrate how ambient sounds can make a small layout seem much, much larger. So it has a sound system complete with subwoofer to let you really feel those explosions from deep inside the Jolie Rouge Mine." Steve is using a combination of audio tracks from Fantasonics to create his sound environment. He'll also be using onboard train sound, probably an MRC DCC system. For a video progress report, click on the triangle below (and turn the sound up!).
(Ed. note: There's also an excellent article on creating layout sound environments by site contributor John Hubbard in the May 2008 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine.)
STEAMPUNK STYLE SETS SPLENDID CIRCULAR SPECTACLE
Chris Walas, from Santa Barbara, California, USA, built this astonishing two-level pizza, Submarine Pirates Cove, for a contest at the Gn15 forum, Gnatterbox. Designed in the Steampunk style, the layout looks like a cross between Johnny Depp and Captain Nemo. Even more astonishing is the fact that it's built entirely of cardboard and paper! Even the figures and landscape are papier-mâché.
The scene is a concealed lagoon within an extinct volcano, where a pirate band have hidden their fantastic submarine and built a semi-permanent camp. A Gn15 (more or less) scale railway—including a robot-driven locomotive (below right)—hauls supplies and equipement around the lagoon, and a branch overhead serves the needs of the Jolly Roger airship and landing pad. Fantastic and whimsical? Yes. Charming? Definitely!
Chris has packed in far too many details to examine each one here. Below are a few examples of the kinds of details (all made from paper and card) that abound here… and there's a thread on the Gnatterbox that follows the whole process of constructing this amazing layout. Not surprisingly, it won the gold in the competition.

Its funny, but that's what my cousin Maria said to me yesterday at the book/stationery/office supply store. While she got some photocopies done I walked around and explored all the goodies. I love shops like that. Those and hardware stores… I can happily spend hours wandering the aisles going "Ooh, look at that! I didn't know you could buy that! And this comes in all those colours!" etc.
I was in my element. I left there with some air dry clay and 4 pens in various colours.
It wasn't cause I'm a girl. I just already had light blue. So I got pink and orange and green and purple.
But the main thing about the comment is that I've never ever in my life considered myself to be feminine. You know… a girlie girl.
I mean, I occasionally have feminine flashes – like I'll buy a flippy skirt or a floral dress… but in general I'm the girl in the work out gear and sneakers, the chunky boots, the loose fitting baggy jumpers. I rarely wear make up. Always forget to wear perfume. Never get my nails done… Nails and sandpaper just don't mix well.
In fact I don't think I so much sway my hips when I walk as I stride purposefully… Mind you, its easier to sway in heels, which I never wear. Even if I could walk in them (which I can't) I can't even stand in them since I broke my ankle and had plates and pins inserted.
In fact, yesterday I noticed that one ankle is thicker than the other. Hm.
Funny thing is that sometimes I do have girlie leanings. Cause you know what, sometimes I like being feminine.
I love asymmetrical layered tops, lacey underskirts, leggings, cat eye liner, Jean Paul Gaultier in the woman's bust bottle.
I think being girlie can be nice and I think I'm finally starting to enjoy it.
I say wear makeup (then remove it again at night), de-fuzz your hairy bits, wear perfume so you smell nice to yourself, wear jewellery, buy that nice dress, make an effort with the hair! Its never too late to start a shoe collection. You only live once.
Sure its a lot of effort (and not cheap) but you know what? I plan to spoil myself and do and wear things that make me feel nice.

Q: Pytorch embedding RuntimeError: Expected object of type torch.LongTensor but found type torch.cuda.LongTensor for argument #3 'index' I'm getting this error saying
RuntimeError: Expected object of type torch.LongTensor but found type torch.cuda.LongTensor for argument #3 'index'

But what does it mean by argument #3 "index"? I can't find "index" argument in torch.embedding (here source : https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/_modules/torch/nn/modules/sparse.html#Embedding)
It seems like I'm passing the embedding the wrong parameters.
I even changed the data type of my input like below but the error persists.
batch['doc_tok'] = batch['doc_tok'].long()
batch['query_tok'] = batch['query_tok'].long()

Any comment (even though it's short!) or just listing keywords to look at will be highly appreciated!

model.py code: https://github.com/byorxyz/san_mrc/blob/master/src/model.py
Network defined: https://github.com/byorxyz/san_mrc/blob/master/src/dreader.py

A: It seems to me like your input/target tensors (batch['doc_tok'], etc.) and your network and its variables (I believe index is an internal tensor for Embedding layers) are on different devices (CPU for your data, GPU for your model?).
If you want everything to run on GPU, you need both to:

*

*Load your data there,  e.g. batch['doc_tok'].cuda()

*Load your model there, e.g. model.network.cuda()
Same goes if you want to run on CPU, replacing with .cpu().

A: Try this:
batch['doc_tok']=batch['doc_tok'].long().cpu()
batch['query_tok']=batch['query_tok'].long().cpu()

Abu Dhabi Wildcats aim to break drought in Desert Bowl rematch with Dubai Barracudas
Jay Asser 22:27 15/03/2018
Wildcats running back Vivaldi Tulysse in action this season.
It won't be Tony Robinson's first rodeo, but for the Abu Dhabi Wildcats coach, this Desert Bowl has a different feel to it.
The past two Emirates American Football League (EAFL) seasons have ended with the Wildcats falling short at the 1-yard line, figuratively speaking, and seeing the title slip out of their grasps.
As they head into their third straight Desert Bowl and prepare to meet the Dubai Barracudas at Dubai Sports City on Friday, Robinson believes their fortunes will be different this time around because his team is different this time around.
After being humbled at the start of the season by dropping their first four games, the Wildcats righted the ship with their first win ahead of the playoffs before knocking off the reigning champion Al Ain Desert Foxes in the first round.
It's been an usual path to get to the final week, but Robinson feel it's only strengthened his side.
"We don't have the number that we've had in the past, so that's made me coach a better and smarter game, and it's made the guys play a smarter game," Robinson said. "It also removes the mentality of 'if I don't do it, somebody else will'. So everyone has the mentality of 'if we're going to get this done, I got to do it'.
"In terms of our play and for each one of the guys being accountable to the other guys, it's a lot different than what it's been in either of the past two years."
So while the Barracudas enter the match-up having already shut out the Wildcats in their only meeting back in late January, coach Zavier Cobb is putting little stock in that result.
"At the time we played them, they were a depleted Wildcats team. Probably the worst Wildcats team I've seen since I've been here in the UAE and been part of the EAFL," Cobb said. "Since then they've had a few veterans come back, so they're definitely not the same team they were at the beginning of the season and it's shown the last few games."
Working in the Wildcats favour is also a little extra motivation in a rematch of the 2016 Desert Bowl.
In that contest two years ago, the capital's team were burned by a controversial unsportsmanlike penalty on a late go-ahead touchdown run by Vivaldi Tulysse.
Instead of lifting the trophy for the third time in four years, the Wildcats were left ruing an officiating decision and thinking what could have been.
"There is a bitter taste left and it burns a little bit every time I think about it or talk about it," Robinson said. "That's just part of being a football coach and a football player, you remember those things. Those guys are going to remember that particular game probably for the rest of their lives.
"So anytime that comes up, it does put a little salt in the wound, so to speak. But it also puts a little fuel on the fire because the guys have been much more in key and in-tune to not having the silly mistakes we've had in the past."
Cobb, however, has his own bitter taste that he wants to get rid of after the Barracudas plummeted down the league standings last season.
Now, they not only have an opportunity to claim the club's second championship, but also to finish off a perfect, unbeaten season – not that Cobb is concerned with the extra details.
"It's just a number to me. We want the title of champions and I think we deserve it," he said. "We didn't get that last year. We sat on the sidelines and the stands with a bunch of wishes and should-haves. Now this year we have the opportunity to capitalise on our failures from last year."


Some love lasts a long time, some a lifetime. Can theirs outlast space-time?
A new adventure in romantic comedy, with a heroine who boldly goes where no chick has gone before, tons of danger and intrigue, a roller-discoing Granny, life and death betrayal, steamy Miami nights and one hot FBI agent.
Amid stunning views of sheer cliffs, sandstone gullies, cedar trees, and sage, our chopper lowered. The beautiful blue-green ribbon of river wound below, cascading over falls I'd never expected in the desert. After a four-thousand foot descent, we touched down not far from the water, in a seemingly different world.
Mitch had spent the entire ride gripping his seat belt. Even when I'd pointed out the rising sun to him, he'd only flicked his eyes toward the east and grimaced. Ordinarily, I'd have razzed him. But since he'd been so kind about my fear of snakes, teasing him would have been churlish.
As we stepped out into the cool, bright morning, he heaved a big sigh of relief.
The pilot quickly checked out our GPS radio device to make sure it was operational, handed it to Mitch, and reminded us he'd meet us in the same spot at eleven the next morning.
We gathered our packs and moved away from the aircraft.
When the air had stilled again and the chopper shrank along the horizon, we began our hike to the Indian holy grounds, an area believed to be another energy vortex. Sudo's itinerary suggested we hike there and meditate for two hours, then move away to some secluded area with little chance of meeting anyone else, where we could shade up for the hottest part of the day.
"I can't believe we got gypped out of breakfast again," Mitch grumbled beside me.
"X equals three," he supplied.

In Defence of October
Socialism and War
The German Revolution of 1918
Coming just one year after the mighty events of Red October in Russia, power was taken into the hands of the masses. Yet the socialist revolution ultimately failed. The consequences of that failure would be most brutally felt over a decade later with the rise of fascism in Germany and the consolidation of Stalinism in Russia.
'Teochoro' Petkoff, the man who stole the workers' benefits
When Venezuelan oppositionist and newspaper editor Teodoro Petkoff died on October 31, at the age of 86, the world's capitalist media and reactionary intellectuals on the continent piled in to sing his praises. However, to workers in Venezuela above a certain age, he is remembered as "Teochoro" (Teothief), the man who as Minister in the Caldera government in the 1990s carried out a brutal program of privatisations and above all stole the workers' social benefits.
Britain: 'Lest we forget' – Poppy Appeal hysteria and hypocrisy
Daniel Morley
11 November this year marks the centenary of the end of the First World War. This is known as Armistice Day, or Remembrance Sunday, in which Britain officially commemorates the service of British military personnel in the two world wars and all subsequent ones. The British establishment are going into overdrive to whip up a mood of 'patriotism'.
Trump's advisers slander socialism: a reply to White House lies – part two
In the second part of his reply to the White House's slanders against socialism, Alan Woods addresses the reality of life for American workers under capitalism. Since 2008 they have seen inequality skyrocket, endured long hours in multiple jobs, and faced cuts to essential services – all while the parasitic bankers receive state handouts. The 'American dream' is dead – and socialism is reaching a bigger audience.
USA: Attend the Northeast Marxist School this Weekend!
Socialist Revolution USA
The weekend will feature discussions on Marxist philosophy, revolutionary strategy, the Mexican Revolution, and a socialist analysis of the midterms.
Spain's "justice": where an activist is a terrorist and a terrorist is not
News came today of the arrest of a far-right, 63-year-old man who wanted to assassinate the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez. Despite the fact that the police found 16 guns in his possession, the Spanish National Audience refused to deal with the case as it did not consider it an instance of terrorism. This is the same tribunal that has sentenced rap artists to jail time for "glorifying terrorism" in their lyrics. A case of double standards?
USA: the referendum on Trump and the socialist way forward
Tom Trottier and John Peterson
The 2018 US midterms have come and gone and there were no major surprises. Both Democrats and Republicans worked to mobilise millions and opened their pocketbooks to do so—to the tune of $4 billion. This and the polarisation in society led to a huge rise in turnout, with a record 113 million voting, and over 30 million getting their votes in early, compared to 83 million who voted in 2014.
Sweden: successful Marxist school – an important milestone
Zara Henriksson and Julia Blixt
This weekend saw the annual, national school of Revolution, the Swedish section of the International Marxist Tendency, which took place in Gothenburg. Over 90 enthusiastic revolutionaries from all over the country gathered to prepare for a rise in the class struggle in the coming period, which will offer great possibilities for Marxists.
Britain: don't be fooled by budget headlines – austerity isn't over
Adam Booth
The headline announcement from the latest UK budget was that "the era of austerity is finally coming to an end". This assurance, coming from a Conservative chancellor, is an indication of just how far the mood in society has shifted. After eight years of cuts borne by the working class, the vulnerable, and the poor, it is clear that ordinary people are no longer willing to tolerate any more hollow rhetoric that "we're all in this together".
Catalan independence movement on trial: for a united republican front against repression!
Revolució and Lucha de Clases
This is a joint statement by Revolució (IMT Catalonia) and Lucha de Clases (IMT Spanish State). On 2 November, the Spanish State Attorney made public the sentences it is seeking in the trial of leading participants in last year's Catalan independence referendum on 1 October 2017.
Venezuelan Communist Party Central Committee member assassinated
Venezuelan Communist Party leader, Luís Fajardo, was killed on the evening of Wednesday 31 October, as he was returning home with his brother-in-law, Javier Aldana, who was also killed in the attack. Both men were riding a motorbike at 9pm when they were struck by a burst of gunfire from a moving vehicle. They were peasant activists and communist militants involved in the struggle for agrarian reform in the South of the Maracaibo Lake region and had already asked for protection as they had received death threats.
Cameroon: Paul Biya's never-ending presidency
Joe Attard
On 22 October (weeks after the polls opened on 7 October), it was finally confirmed that 85-year-old President of Cameroon, Paul Biya, will serve another term in office. Voter turnout was very low; and in the urban centres of Douala and Yaoundé, the leadership of the working class was nowhere to be seen – despite widespread hatred of the Biya regime. Moreover, violent unrest in the Anglophone regions made any kind of democratic process there impossible, and tit-for-tat skirmishes between state troops and separatists have aroused fears of a new civil war that could plunge the country into barbarism.
Donald Trump and the refugees
Donald J. Trump has recently been an extremely busy man. While striving with might and main to make America great again, he has been obliged to fight on a number of different fronts against sinister forces that are hellbent on undermining him, and thereby preventing America from being great.
Brazil: organise the resistance against the Bolsonaro government!
The following is a statement by Esquerda Marxista (Marxist Left): the Brazilian section of the IMT, after the victory of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro in the Brazilian elections. The comrades explain the tasks ahead for the Brazilian left, who must immediately begin building a resistance against the reactionary and repressive policies of a Bolsonaro government.
[Video] How did Bolsonaro win the Brazilian elections?
Jorge Martin, editor of América Socialista and writer for In Defence of Marxism, discusses the results of Sunday's presidential elections in Brazil, where the far-right candidate, Jair Bolsonaro, won with 55 percent of the vote. The blame for this lies at the feet of the Workers' Party (PT), who have been thoroughly discredited through years of carrying out austerity and attacks on the working class whilst in government.
Brazil: how could a far-right demagogue win the election?
Bolsonaro won the second round of the Brazilian presidential election with 55 percent of the vote, defeating Haddad – the Workers' Party (PT) candidate – who received 45 percent. Any hopes of a last-minute rally were dashed. This result is a setback for the working class and the poor. We need to understand what it means, what led to this situation and what strategy the workers' movement should follow, faced with this reactionary government.
USA: Pittsburgh synagogue attack – capitalism and its monsters
JM in Pittsburgh
We publish here a statement by an IMT comrade in Pittsburgh on the barbaric killing of 11 Jews as they prayed in the Tree of Life synagogue. The frequency of anti-semitic attacks has increased in the recent period, as have racist attacks in general. In times of capitalist crisis, the ruling class foments division and hatred and Trump has contributed to creating an environment favourable to such events. So long as capitalism survives it will continue to produce such barbarism. The answer is to remove the cause and overthrow capitalism once and for all.
Brazilian elections: the line of defeat, and the line of victory
Serge Goulart
Once the first round of the presidential elections was finished, Haddad and the PT (workers' party) took off the red shirts they had used to revive melancholic PT supporters. Now they wear respectable suits with white shirts; they have changed their campaign symbols for the colours of the Brazilian flag (green, yellow and blue); removed Lula from campaign photographs; and hidden any hint of red.
Switzerland: Revolution 2018 – a festival of Marxist theory
Flo Degen
Revolution: that was the banner under which Switzerland's biggest, Marxist weekend school took place on 7-8 October. 100 enthusiastic Marxists from Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany and Austria met in Nidau/Biel in the heart of Switzerland to discuss how to achieve socialism in our lifetimes.
Britain's brexit crisis: what is the likely outcome?
The chaotic Brexit negotiations appear more and more like a pantomime farce, complete with constant shouting from the sidelines. But there is more at stake than just seasonal slapstick. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is in the midst of a political storm that threatens the very survival of the government. Amid cries of "appeaser" and "traitor", she promises to make "the right choices, not the easy one".

Allied Printing Trades Council records
The collection contains miscellaneous correspondence and mailings from other Printing Trades 1918-1928, and one volume of Council minutes, May 1937 to April 1944.
Allied Printing Trades Council (Organization)
The International Typographical Union (ITU) was a labor union founded on May 3, 1852 in the United States as the National Typographical Union. Newspapers existed in virtually every major urban center in every section of the U.S., and with them came the typographers' union.
Successful unionization in Minnesota started among the printers in 1856. Wide recognition was not obtained until 1858, the year often given as the date of the organization of the St. Paul local, probably because it marks the entrance into the National Typographical Union. The union convention of 1858, ordered the issuance of a charter to the St. Paul group and named J. M. Culver of the new Union No. 30 to the national executive committee. Neither of the printers' unions survived the strain of the Civil War period; in 1864 the national convention dropped both locals because of failure to report for at least two years. Both groups were rechartered by 1873.
Throughout the nation very few of the trades assemblies of the 1860s survived the depression of the following decade, but the years after 1876 saw a rapid growth In the number of local trade unions both In Minnesota and In the rest of the nation. The rate of growth was fairly constant until about 1884, when the Knights of Labor became exceedingly active. According to the 1880 census, Minnesota had 21 trade societies out of the 2,440 in the country.
In spite of the reorganization of 1870, Typographical Union No. 30 was unable to withstand the strain of the next few years. The present organization in St. Paul dates back to the spring of 1882. By 1884 at least seventy-three unions had been organized in Minnesota — seventeen in Minneapolis, twenty-seven in St. Paul, and twenty-nine in other centers.
The Duluth Typographical Union was formed on April 18, 1886.
International Typographical Union dissolved December 31, 1986, due to the general elimination of the typographers trade due to automation, computers and mechanization. The remnants of the union membership are in the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
In March 1911, five international unions created the Allied Printing Trades Association: International Typographical Union, Pressman, Bookbinders, Photo Engravers, Stereotypers and Electrotypers Unions. In 1955, there was a new agreement, and the following unions were included in the association: United Papermakers and Paperworkers, The Newspaper Guild, The International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers, The Plate Printers, Die Stampers and Engravers. The Mailer unions chartered by the ITU were eligible for membership in Allied Printing Trades Councils.The Printing, Publishing and Media Workers Sector of Communications Workers of America represents women and men in a diverse range of occupations in daily newspapers, commercial printing and mailing operations, graphic design, specialty manufacturing, publishing and distribution as well as the U. S. Government Printing Office.
The union combines the heritage of the International Typographical Union-the oldest continuously operating union in America-with the Communications Workers of America.
In 1987 PPMWS merged into CWA recognizing the evolution of the information age in America.

Gene Parsons, son of a classical pianist, grew up in the Mojave desert, practicing banjo and guitar in an empty 10,000-gallon water tank on his father's homesteaded ranch. One day, as a teenager playing banjo in a music shop, he was invited to join a recording session by Gib Guilbeau—a Cajun fiddle player who would later play with Parsons in at least three bands. The experience set Parsons on a path that led to him playing in The Byrds from 1968 to 1972. On Sept. 10 he joins David Hayes, an equally accomplished musician, in concert at the Davis Odd Fellows Hall (that's Hayes on the left in the photo, with Parsons), and today we present the first of a two-part interview with Parsons (here's part 2). The conversation includes memories of fellow Byrd Clarence White, Gram Parsons, and Sneaky Pete Kleinow; his songs Gunga Din and Yesterday's Train; and the "oddball story" about how a kid who had wanted to play fiddle grew up to play drums for one of the top bands of the 1960s, contributing to its revival after most of its original members had left.


I rolled to a stop at the town center's main intersection.
I saw them cascading down the sidewalk. A group of yellow, red, blue, green shirted middle schoolers – boys and girls – undulating along the way middle schoolers are wont to do. Laughing in a heightened style declaring their rights and demands to be noticed and affirmed.
There is some quality magnificently alive, certain and vulnerable about middle schoolers. Something that identifies them right away – at once distinct from high schoolers. They exude a freedom to be extroverted with an urgent underlying desire to be thoroughly and utterly accepted by their group.
And thus come their moments of creative decision-making notably distinct to middle schoolers. One peels off the sidewalk into the street, several feet from the allocated crosswalk. Others follow suit in varying degrees of authority and entitlement. But eventually they all go – like a less than uniform V of geese, following and upholding the initiator's assuredness and declamatory intentions, no matter the consequences.
And I'm reminded of another place and time.
My hometown when I was in what would now be a middle school grade – sixth. A group of friends and I were walking home from a Saturday morning high school football game. I had the bright idea of linking arms across the street to keep cars from passing – because we could. Satisfyingly – traffic slowed. One most likely highly frustrated driver leapt from his Volkswagen Bug broadcasting, "I'm an off duty police officer…" at which point we all relinquished our linkages and tore off into the woods – each for themselves. Perhaps that's a trait not only particular to middle schoolers.

AMA Honors Margaret Wilson with Bessie Stringfield Award
The award honors women for their contributions to, involvement with, and accomplishments in motorcycling.
The American Motorcycle Association (AMA) Board of Directors has presented its Bessie Stringfield Memorial Award to Maragret Hamilton of Cedar Rapids, Iowa for over five decades of involement and contributions to motorcycling.
The award, for "Superior Achievement by a Female Motorcyclist," is named for the remarkable "Motorcycle Queen of Miami," Bessie Stringfield, an African-American woman, who broke down barriers for women and African American motorcyclists at the same time, by completing eight solo cross-country tours and serving as a U.S. Army motorcycle dispatch rider in the 1940s. It is presented from time to time to women who the AMA board feels deserve special recognition for their motorcycling activities.
Hamilton has been extensively involved in local and national motorcycle organizations and, with her husband Mike, as a dealer in Iowa. The AMA's release below gives details.
**AMA PRESENTS 'BESSIE STRINGFIELD AWARD' TO MARGARET WILSON **
_PICKERINGTON, OHIO -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced that Margaret Wilson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the latest recipient of the AMA Bessie Stringfield Memorial Award for Superior Achievement by a Female Motorcyclist. The presentation took place on Saturday, October 4, during ceremonies connected with the 2003 Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductions.
The award, presented to Margaret for more than 50 years of active involvement, leadership, and excellence in motorcycling, recognizes individual women who have been instrumental in showing other women they can be active participants in the world of motorcycling. Created in 2000, the AMA Bessie Stringfield Award is presented to those acknowledged by their peers as true leaders in the sport, women who have had a significant positive impact on the role and image of women in motorcycling over a sustained period of time.
Margaret's love of motorcycling began in 1946, when her husband, Mike, gave her a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Beginning in 1950 and for the next 25 years, Margaret and Mike also were business partners in Wilson's Motorcycle Sales of Cedar Rapids. She's a Golden Life Member of the Motor Maids, having joined this renowned national women's motorcycle organization in 1951, and she helped form the Corn State Riders Motorcycle Club in the early 1950s. Over the years she has assisted with many motorcycle races and events, and has logged more than 555,000 miles throughout the United States and Canada. Margaret and Mike currently both serve on the Board of Directors of the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum and are among the Museum's principal benefactors.
"There may be no better role model for women, whether or not they ride motorcycles, than Margaret Wilson," said Robert Rasor, President of the AMA. "Her personal energy and passion, as well as her inestimable contribution to motorcycling over nearly six decades, makes her most deserving of the AMA Bessie Stringfield Award."
Nominations for the AMA Bessie Stringfield Award for Superior Achievement by a Female Motorcyclist may be submitted by any member of the Association. It is bestowed from time to time at the pleasure of the AMA Board of Directors. Past recipients of the award include Patti Carpenter and Rita Coombs. _

Q: Spring @Autowired bean is null I am trying to use Dozer to map between two object types. I had a look at this question
I have below code to get the dozer mapper from the spring context. For some reason I am getting the mapper always as null. Why does mapper always gets null? Why doesn't spring instantiate that bean?
I couldn't figure out the reason so far. I may be doing a silly mistake, couldn't figure out so far though.
@Component
public class AccountConverterImpl implements Converter<AccountOutput, Account> {

Scientists chart the course for a more sustainable future for UK fisheries
Shellfish fishing boats at Whitby. Credit: Bryce Stewart
An international team of scientists, led by the University of Southampton, have produced new recommendations to help ensure a more sustainable future for UK fisheries in the post-Brexit era.
Despite many representatives of the UK fishing industry being disappointed with the Brexit deal on fisheries, new UK fisheries legislation provides the opportunity to dramatically improve its future sustainability.
To help ensure this opportunity is not lost, a team of academics representing international perspectives in natural resource management, fisheries, marine conservation, law and economics have made a series of recommendations to the Government for more sustainable management of marine fisheries. The main points they raise are:
Fishing pressure should be such as to allow stocks to reach levels that are 120 percent of that needed to maintain maximum sustainable yields, providing resilience in the face of climate change. Prey fish, on which commercial and other species depend for food, should also be further protected.
Exploitation of fisheries should be considered more holistically within the wider context of marine resource management, e.g. considering effects of fishing on stocks of marine carbon, and development of a diverse, low emission and modern fishing fleet. Overall fishing capacity should be reduced to allow overexploited populations to recover.
Existing and future Marine Protected Areas should be adequately protected to promote the regeneration of degraded habitats and restoration of fish stocks by setting clearer targets for enforcement. The fleet should be supported by the use of best available technologies, including Remote Electronic Monitoring.
In addition to the fishing industry, the Government should work in close partnership with the fisheries and the marine conservation science community and seek to regenerate degraded marine ecosystems, on which sustainable fisheries depend. This may mean people reconsidering the amount and kind of fish they eat and how they are caught.
The scientists hope their advice will help policy makers achieve the objectives of the Fisheries Act – domestic legislation that replaced the Common Fisheries Policy when the UK exited the EU. The recommendations are based on an extensive review of available information on past management of UK fisheries that is outlined in a pair of scientific articles, published today, in the journal 'Marine Policy' and summarised in a briefing paper.
Professor Paul Kemp, the lead author from the University of Southampton, said: "We assembled a diverse team of leading experts to provide a balanced and comprehensive perspective on the history of UK marine fisheries policy and management, and the current status of fish stocks and the fishing industry, to provide recommendations for policy to enhance overall sustainability of the resource."
Despite some recent recovery of some stocks on which UK fishers depend, several remain in a precarious state according to the European Environment Agency.
Professor Kemp continues: "In total, we provide eight recommendations that, if acted on, could enhance the viability of the industry while simultaneously protecting fish stocks that have suffered a long historic legacy of overfishing. This would require strong leadership and collaboration between England and the devolved nations, and for the public to better support UK fishermen and the wider marine resource by reviewing their purchasing habits and selecting more sustainable products, with shorter supply chains, caught by the least damaging methods.
"One of the key recommendations in our report is to improve collaboration and partnership working between the fishing industry, scientists, the government, conservationists and businesses."
Dr Bryce Stewart from the University of York said: "Recent research has shown that the UK fishing industry generally has limited trust in management and scientific bodies. This will have been further eroded by disappointment over the Brexit fisheries deal. However, when there is strong collaboration across different sectors in fisheries it improves both our knowledge of fish stocks and the effectiveness of management measures. This gives the fishing industry a sense of ownership and trust in management and reduces the need and cost of enforcing regulations."
Professor Richard Barnes from the University of Lincoln said: "The recently published Joint Fisheries Statement sets the direction of UK fisheries management. It will have a significant impact on how fishing is regulated. Our recommendations show where key improvements can be made within the current legal framework that will make fisheries more sustainable."
"The future sustainability of the UK fishing industry will rely on making sure that the ecological foundations on which it is built are integral to management," said Dr Bethan O'Leary from the University of Exeter. "An essential part of ensuring a future for our fisheries while supporting achievement of goals for climate action, biodiversity protection and sustainable development will mean making sure that fish, marine life, and the habitats they live in thrive. Our recommendations are built with these foundations in mind."

Twenty-four hours ago, I was seated with my family and friends around the Thanksgiving table. Now, I am seated in my chair and cannot move. I won't say I ate too much yesterday. I did, I just won't say it.
Why is it on Thanksgiving we give ourselves permission to gorge ourselves to the point of semi-consciousness? The difference between consciousness and semi-consciousness is that with semi-consciousness you feel like you have been run over by a semi-truck.
Of course, a great thing about Thanksgiving is the fabulous dinner spread, surrounded by family and friends. It is truly a time to give thanks to God for the manifold blessings he has showered on us throughout the year. Although there have been a few drought times during the past year, God's showers of blessing always came at the right time.
Thanksgiving Day is for the diet-challenged person. Nothing is more challenging to me than my diet. And of this in particular I am most grateful for Thanksgiving. It is the one day of the year I can toss caution to the wind (which is the only exercise I get on Thanksgiving) and forget my diet carefully supervised by the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.
It is not that I take advantage of the situation … okay, so I do take advantage of the situation. However, that is the glorious aspect of holidays like Thanksgiving. The person, me in particular, can get away with things that the rest of the year would be impossible. And I'm not just thinking of that second piece of pumpkin pie.
The second great thing about Thanksgiving is the day after. The business community refers to this day as Black Friday. They mean, of course, it is a day when they turn their ledger from red to black.
Whoever invented the shopping frenzy associated with the day after Thanksgiving should be congratulated and offered the Nobel Peace Prize. Black Friday in our home is when my wife and our daughters leave the house early in the morning to spend the entire day shopping and I get the opportunity to black out for the entire day. If I may say so, it is a glorious day of loafing.
The feast like we usually have on Thanksgiving Day requires at least one full day of concentrating and allowing the meal to digest, no matter how long it takes. The older I get the longer it takes my digestive system to complete its work. My philosophy is, don't rush the process.
I'm all for cooperation. I believe this world would get along much better if everybody would just cooperate. I set the example by cooperating with my digestive system for the entire day.
I have found the best way to assist my digestive system is to spend the day loafing. And I have managed to bring loafing to a finely developed art. It has taken years for me to get to this point of expertise. Throughout the years, I have developed the finesse associated with total loafing that should be recorded somewhere.
My expertise in this area is most remarkable for the simple fact that I only get to practice this one day out of the year. I can assure you that one day is intensely devoted to the strenuous activity of loafing.
If you promise not to let this get back to you know who, I do get in an odd day every now and again to practice for this day. Nobody can reach the pinnacle of success I have on this matter without some kind of practice throughout the year. I am completely devoted to my art, as any other artist would be.
In case someone gets the wrong idea about all of this, let me assure you that loafing has certain health benefits. Of course, if I am caught practicing my loafing when my wife has instructed me to do some things around the house, it has an adverse effect on my health. The key here is to practice loafing when your wife is out of the house shopping the entire day, which is why Black Friday was invented.
It is a proven fact that most of the people in our country today are overworked and totally stressed out by their lives. In spite of all the technology available to us, we are a nation that has forgotten how to rest.
Years ago in our country, when we were more Christian than we are today, we set aside Sunday as the day of rest. That has completely gone by the wayside as we became a culture of 24/7 activity. The only solution all our experts have come up with is to pop a pill and keep on going.
A friend of mine has a marvelous saying, "Either come apart and rest a while, or you will simply come apart." I like that.
We have learned how to feast and our buffet table is loaded with goodies. Perhaps it would be a good time to take some time to rest and let our soul settle and digest the rich blessings of God.

Sebastián de Aparicio Prado (La Gudiña, Orense, 20 de enero de 1502 — Puebla de los Ángeles, Nueva España, 25 de febrero de 1600) fue un religioso franciscano español. Beatificado el 17 de mayo de 1789 por su labor misionera en Nueva España en el inicio del .

Biografía

Partiendo de Sanlúcar de Barrameda en 1533 llega a la Nueva España por el puerto de Veracruz, en donde gracias a la Real Cédula de 16 de febrero de 1533 logra grandes exenciones de impuestos y otras gracias que eran dadas a los emigrantes, aunque debían invertir en propiedades inmuebles el diez por ciento de sus ganancias, con el objetivo de afianzarlos a su nueva tierra; todo esto previo contrato con la Casa de la Contratación.
Puebla era poco menos que un pequeño villorrio con una población de inmigrantes en su mayoría europeos; en sus alrededores caballos y vacas corrían libremente multiplicándose con facilidad. De modo que el labrador Aparicio se dio a la tarea de capturar y domar este ganado como ranchero. Por este motivo se le considera el "primer charro" en América.

El ganado cimarrón o salvaje era entonces muy común, ya que los indígenas desconocían la cría de ganado vacuno. Aparicio se percató de que en las recuas que servían para el traslado de mercancías se usaba una gran cantidad de indígenas, los cuales usando su mecapal transportaban en sus espaldas las mercaderías. Tal vez como persona práctica recordó la carreta típica de su tierra, que podía recorrer los caminos estrechos gallegos, por eso las empezó a construir en sociedad con un carpintero. También solicitó y logró el permiso para mejorar las rutas existentes, con lo cual abrió el primer servicio de transporte rodado en México.

Rompiendo su sociedad con el carpintero de Puebla se muda a la ciudad de México en 1542, donde abre el camino entre el Real y Minas de Ntra. Sra. de los Remedios en Zacatecas y la capital virreinal, negocio en el cual prospera, debiendo de hacerse amigo de los pueblos indígenas por los que atraviesa, ya que no se tienen noticias de algún infortunio en sus viajes.

En 1552 deja este negocio y vende sus carretas, se vuelve hacendado con tierras que compra en los límites de los actuales delegación de Azcapotzalco y el municipio de Tlalnepantla, además de un rancho ganadero en las cercanías de Chapultepec, en lo que hoy sería la zona de Polanco. Para cuidar sus tierras y su ganado se muda al pueblo de Azcapotzalco y funda la Hacienda de San Nicolás, al norte de la ciudad y alrededor del Camino de Tlalnepantla. Dicha hacienda se llamó después Careaga y del Rosario. En su lugar se halla hoy una zona habitacional y una terminal del Metro de la ciudad de México.

Es en este sitio que se supone que Aparicio protegió y dio nacimiento a la fiesta del Día de Muertos, conjuntando la tradición prehispánica de culto a los muertos de sus trabajadores y las celebraciones católicas de Todos lo Santos y Fieles Difuntos.

En 1562 Aparicio contrae matrimonio con la hija de un amigo, pero ella muere apenas un año después del matrimonio. Dos años más tarde vuelve a contraer matrimonio y su segunda esposa fallece apenas ocho meses después. No hubo descendencia en ambos casos. Tras enviudar, torna a la vida de trabajo en su hacienda.

Luego de varios meses decide entrar a la vida religiosa, decidiéndose por la orden franciscana, a la cual no ingresa de inmediato, ya que como prueba a sus capacidades físicas se da como donado en el convento de clarisas, atendiendo como criado las necesidades del convento. Para esto dona por cesión el 20 de diciembre de 1573 sus propiedades valuadas en 20.000 pesos más otros mil que deja a su disposición por si llegase a necesitarlos.

Comprobada su vocación el 9 de junio de 1574 viste el hábito franciscano como novicio, destinado al convento de San Francisco en la ciudad de México. También estuvo en el Convento de Santiago de Tlatelolco donde inicia una tradición de bendecir los vehículos nuevos, que se mantuvo hasta 1962 en el atrio del templo.

El 13 de junio de 1575 hace sus votos y entra como fraile a la Orden Franciscana, destinado al convento de Santiago de Tecali, en las cercanías de Puebla de los Ángeles, donde le es dado el oficio de limosnero, lo que lo hace recorrer los caminos de Puebla, Tlaxcala, Veracruz y México.

Muere el 25 de febrero de 1600 luego de una larga agonía. Cuatro días después, afluye a su entierro gran cantidad de personas.

Beatificación
Fue el mismo Felipe III quien escribe al obispo de Tlaxcala para que iniciase el proceso en 1603 y el mismo prelado le remite un año siguiente la biografía escrita por Juan de Torquemada.
Al parecer de los creyentes cristianos católicos de la época, Aparicio debió tener las virtudes necesarias para ser considerado un Santo de su iglesia, así se le proclama santo y sus variadas reliquias se van usando, lo que en muchos casos lleva su destrucción, en 1714 y 1746, el presbítero Miguel de Álcala y Mendiola, cronista de la ciudad de Puebla, escribe una lista con los nombres de los poblanos con olor de santidad, entre los que menos figuran esta Aparicio con solo unas notas, es hasta 1768 que se inicia los trabajos para su beatificación, dirigidos por Mateo de Ximénez en el último momento logra su beatificación por el papa Pío VI el 17 de mayo de 1789, a la cual sigue el trámite de su canonización, la cual hasta el presente no se ha logrado, esto a pesar de que sus partidarios le atribuyen hasta 968 milagros en su expediente.

Culto actual al beato

Tanto en su pueblo natal La Gudiña, España como en el lugar donde se conservan sus restos en Puebla, se bendicen los automotores y lo consideran el patrono de los automóviles y los transportes terrestres.
Su cuerpo con más 400 años de muerto, permanece expuesto en una urna con paredes de cristal en el Templo de San Francisco en la Ciudad de Puebla, aunque oficialmente no se sabe si este se conserva en forma natural o es producto de algún proceso de conservación que lo hace permanecer incorrupto.

Working Men's Clubs were originally set up for the support and education of the working man. Many clubs have long since disappeared, though there are still six million UK members.
As a child, Chris Coekin visited clubs with his parents, both in his home town of Leicester and, on family holidays, around England. Knock Three Times is set in the Acomb WMC York which Chris first photographed in 1996.
Through photographs and archive material, Coekin explores the cultural roots and identity of the Working Men's Club and examines the complexity of working class culture, as well as ideas of masculinity, relationships and the work ethic.
Chris Coekin was born in Leicester. He worked in the building trade until his early twenties before studying photography. His work has appeared in many magazines including The Guardian, The Observer, The Telegraph, The Times, and Dazed & Confused. The recipient of various awards including a David Hodge Award, his work has been exhibited widely, including the Photographers Gallery, London.


Romelu Lukaku has called on Manchester United to show more spirit than they did against Barcelona on Wednesday as he conceded that eliminating the Uefa Champions League favourites will be even harder than beating Paris Saint-Germain.
Luke Shaw's own goal gave the Spanish champions a 1-0 lead to take back to the Nou Camp but United became the first team in Champions League history to overturn a 2-0 deficit at home when they won 3-1 in France in the last round.
Lukaku scored United's first two goals then before Marcus Rashford added an injury-time penalty and the Belgian said the key to victory against a Barcelona team who have not lost a home Champions League game for six years will be: "Taking our chances and not conceding a goal, and play with more heart.
Paul Pogba was in bullish mood as he declared that United's killers are capable of mounting a famous comeback to overcome the Spanish league leaders.
"We saw a team we can beat," the Frenchman said. "If you don't believe that then you just let them go through. We believe we can beat them. They are Barcelona but we are Manchester United and we play in the Champions League like they do and we can go through.
United failed to register a shot on target at Old Trafford, which was the first time since 2005 that they did not work an opposing goalkeeper in the Champions League, but Pogba felt he saw proof Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side can trouble Barcelona.
Defender Victor Lindelof was frustrated with the first-leg scoreline but insisted United have a capacity for greatness.
United will be without the suspended Shaw in the Nou Camp on Tuesday, but they could have a former Barcelona player back.
Alexis Sanchez has resumed training and is in contention to feature against West Ham United on Saturday.
While the Chilean has only scored twice in an injury-hit season and has been a failure at Old Trafford since his move from Arsenal, Lukaku claimed the Chilean can again become one of the division's outstanding players and insisted Sanchez is upbeat as he looks to turn around his United career.

Q: How to get list aws snapshot filtered by description string How to retrieve snapshot list filtering by description of snapshot with a common string through AWS-SDK(Ruby).
Here is ex
 1. snapshot-id        description
 2. 1xxvfs         snapdesp100
 3. 2xxhgso        snapdesp150
 4. 3##sfsj        snapdesp240

I want to filter with description "snapdesp1" and the output need like below.
output :
 1. 1xxvfs
 2. 2xxhgso

Thanks in advance.

A: The DescribeSnapshots() command can filter on description, but I don't think it will accept wildcards.
You should simply call DescribeSnapshots() to retrieve a complete list of snapshots, then filter the results within your Ruby code.


There are some things you're confronted with as a child that, despite your small stature, are non-negotiable. You will gladly sit at the table all night long, relinquish dessert rights, resign yourself to missing your favorite cartoon, get sent to bed early – all in the name of avoiding eating a vegetable (usually green, usually slightly slimy and usually exuding a questionable odor).
I was always "a picky eater" (my mother's words) – particular about my meals and mostly partial to sugar-laden foods and non-green stuff. But I was a kid. And I grew out of it – thank goodness too because honestly, green stuff is amazing.
Brussels Sprouts are like tiny cabbages (but sweeter) that become packed full of the flavors they're cooked with, and they develop a delicious crispiness when pan-fried that makes them almost more like (yes I'm going there) a snack.
It's not surprising that kids don't like these, but it's probably based on appearance and, also, keeping up appearances, because you can't just GIVE IN and admit to your parents that you like something right? I hope to raise a child who does, but it's not likely considering how many times my mother wished that I would have a kid someday just as picky as myself.
I wish I could go back in time and see what my 9-year-old self would think of these bad boys, but definitely let me know how this recipe goes over! My 31-year-old self couldn't get enough of them, and they're a great addition to any Thanksgiving spread.
In a large bowl that has lots of extra room to stir the Brussels Sprouts without losing any over the side, mix the Brussels Sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, the honey, salt and pepper, until the Brussels are covered well.
Warm the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat.
Pour Brussels Sprouts into the skillet – they should sizzle in the heated oil.
Stir around, gently cooking all sides of the Brussels.
Once Brussels are warm and well-mixed in the pan, add the wine, and stir continuously until the liquid burns off.
Now they're ready to serve! Pile over a bed of the quinoa and enjoy!
Pro Tip: For a fuller meal, add cooked sweet potato, squash or diced cooked chicken to the quinoa with some cooked onions and/or peppers.
