A few months ago, Google released their Project Glass in beta form. Even though there are just a few thousand devices in circulation, some commentators have hailed Glass as a major technological leap forward. It is far from being a mass-market product, and its unusual looks may simply consign it to a niche techie device, such as the Segway. However, through Glass, Google are showing what is possible with next generation of computing; the wearable technologies and connected devices.
For those that have tried the device, it delivers an engaging immersive experience. However, detractors have pointed to issues around the short battery life (about two hours), failures in functionality and above all, the way that people look rather stupid whilst wearing them (see the Tumblr, White Men Wearing Google Glass). Significantly though, Glass has raised some major concerns around privacy. These concerns are two fold: privacy of those in proximity to the wearer and privacy of around data generated by the user themselves.
Within a week of launch, a photo app called 'Winky' was released, which allowed Glass wearers to take photos or video simply with the blink of an eye. Soon after, newspapers highlighted the privacy issue from surreptitious recording. This is a justified concern, but with the ubiquity of camera phones and CCTV, it is not a new one. However, with Glass the problem extends beyond just surreptitious photos. At the start of July a Congress Committee asked Google about the impact of facial recognition through Glass. Imagine, that as a wearer, I could use the camera to identify anyone who I passed on the street, and immediately search online or view their social media profile. So far, Google has not clarified if this is possible to do, suffice to say that the US committee described their response as 'inadequate'.
The second issue, and one that has been discussed less, is the privacy of the user. The device is constantly tracking data such as location, searches or eye movements. Put these together and you have a powerful set of data that is more personal than ever seen before. If that includes involuntary eye tracking, it effectively means that unconscious actions will also be stored. And it is data that is stored in The Cloud. With the recent NSA/Prism revelations, it is reasonable to assume that no data stored in this way is truly private. It creates something of a scary scenario.
But what of brands and Glass? As a highly immersive experience, the potential for marketing engagement might be considerable. Yet tools such as facial recognition, especially in the brand context, are controversial to say the least, and largely unacceptable to consumers. Generating vast amounts of data could considerably help understand user behaviours. What happens eye tracking in Glass is used when researching or purchasing goods? Marketers are already aware of the power of location for mobile marketing. But what could these eye movements tell them about their user? The reality is though, that this will prove unacceptable to users. If brands push the data boundaries too far, will they create a consumer backlash?
At this stage, Google Glass has no advertising channel, although some brands such as The New York Times have created content-based apps. However as more brands start to get on board with these devices, they are likely to consider how they can exploit the possibilities. Marketers love data, and as technologies proliferate into wearable and connected devices, more of it will be generated. It is important that brands both understand the potential privacy impact, and engage with users to make them aware of it. If marketers fail to do this, we may simply see consumers refusing to let brands into the space. So, with technology comes great responsibility.
The Marks and Spencer Valentine's day Aurasma campaign seems to have had mixed reactions. Using an outdoor poster in Waterloo Station, users are invited to download the Aursama app and view their range of lingerie. The concept is clever and is the best executed Aurasma campaign to date. Ostensibly aimed at men who are short of a Valentine's gift (although it is likely to appeal to women as well), the advert uses the tagline 'Love stuck'. The approach makes sense. We know from QR codes that men are more likely to scan than women and the location of the poster in Waterloo ensures sufficient dwell time to interact with it. Using the Aurasma app, the poster almost literally comes to life as models show off the underwear range.
There have been some, arguably prudish, reactions against an app that has women prancing around in their underwear. On a practical level though, users have had problems scanning the poster. Aurasma doesn't seem to work as well as the other popular IR app, Blippar. The high position of the poster in Waterloo also makes the scanning even harder. The problem with mobile is that users won't tolerate poor experiences before branding it as a fail.
Similar in concept to Net A Porter's Window Shop, a campaign like this only reaches a limited audience. But it's not about reach. These are essentially PR exercises and perhaps a test of the potential of consumer engagement of the technology. To date M&S have taken a more classic, but very successful approach to mobile, focussing on SMS and mobile web. It's good to see them experimenting a bit.
If you want to see it in action, then scan the image below, or you can read more about their campaign here.

Several government ministers — including those for trade, communications and indigenous affairs minister Nigel Scullion — backed a resolution drafted by populist firebrand senator Pauline Hanson which railed against what it described as "the deplorable rise of anti-white racism".
Luke Pearson, the founder of influential anti-racism group, IndigenousX, echoed a string of calls for Scullion to resign after the vote.
"The minister for Indigenous Affairs, voting in support of what is widely known to be a white supremacist slogan, 'It's okay to be white', makes his position as minister entirely untenable. He needs to resign," Pearson wrote.
Scullion, a white senator for the Northern Territory, has held the Indigenous Affairs portfolio since 2013.
During parliamentary debate Hanson defended trying to codify what opponents see as race baiting.
Greens leader Richard Di Natale decried the move.
"It's not just okay to be white in Australia, it's actually a ticket to winning the lotto. Look around this chamber and see how many faces aren't white," he said.
"The reality is this 'it's okay to be white' slogan has a long history in the white supremacist movement where both these clowns get most of their material from," he said referring to Hanson and another senator who supported the motion.
The Aborginal population, who have occupied Australia for 50,000 years, were dispossessed of their lands by the arrival of settlers two centuries ago.

Prodigal Republican Begs Rush Limbaugh for Forgiveness |
Prodigal Republican Begs Rush Limbaugh for Forgiveness
Ryan Powers
January 28, 2009Media
Yesterday, Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, complained to Politico about how Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talkers are able to "stand back and throw bricks" instead of offering "real leadership" in the middle of high-profile public policy battles. Gingrey's brave remarks got him in hot water.
This morning -- because of what he called "high volume of phone calls and correspondence" in response to his comments -- Gingrey issued a retraction, declaring his loyalty to hate radio. "I see eye-to-eye with Rush Limbaugh," he said, later adding that he, Sean Hannity, and Newt Gingrich were "the voices of the conservative movement's conscience."

Again we've created the visual for the ROCK AM SEE Festival at Lake Constance (Bodensee) in southern Germany. Of course we made a free interpretation of "Lake" again. Thankfully there are actually no sharks in the lake nearby. We'll make a portfolio update soon with a lot more projects from the last months.
Thanks to Chris Danneffel and Daniel Drescher for the great festival photos. This photo shown here is by Chris Danneffel.
Heute sind die Belegexemplare bei uns eingetroffen. Wir hoffen, dass wir bald Fotos machen können! Auch von all den anderen Projekten.


With everything getting automated these days I think it's only fair to give good old school bell a touch of automation. So I thought to design and develop Automatic school bell system using Arduino development board. This system activates the School bell at predefined time each day. Add this project comes with a manual switch to activate the bell. This will give the liberty to the user to activate it manually when required.
DS1307 is an Real time clock chip that is used in many Embedded applications for adding real time to the system. Timing generated using Microcontroller delays are not precise as real time so when comes to time sensitive applications like Alarms, Timers usage of RTC chips is very much necessary. This RTC chip will communicate with Arduino using I2C communication protocol to provide real time input. Arduino can use this real time input to perform the desired operation, in our case it's ringing of School bell.
The working of this Automatic School bell system starts with Real time clock module DS1307. This module feeds Arduino with real time and keeps track of it. Through the process of polling Arduino will frequently get the time and date values from this chip. Also user has been given five button inputs which they can use to set the Hours, minutes, Date, month and year in the RTC chip. Continuous toggle of these buttons will vary the corresponding values and register them in RTC chip. The automatic bell timer is activated by means of a Relay which is controlled via a transistor switch. The transistor switch is very much necessary since Arduino cannot source enough current to operate the relay directly. Adding a flywheel diode D1 will act as a protection to the rest of circuit when the relay is turned OFF.
I have commented the code almost every line for better understanding and the coding part is pretty simple as well.
You need too look for the current rating of your electric Bell and choose the Relay and switching transistor accordingly.
Keep this unit hidden and limited to be used by authorized personal.
Repeat the four lines of code from 84 to 89 and use it with altered hours and minutes values for more time period.

Manuel Martins Quidito (1884 - 1927), cujo nome real era Manuel III Afonso, foi o manicongo (rei) do Reino do Congo entre 1911 e 1914. Foi o último rei do Congo, reinando como vassalo de Portugal.

Biografia
Manuel Martins Quidito nasceu na aldeia de Lunda. Sua mãe, embora fosse de uma família camponesa rica, não pertencia a nobreza. Ele estudou em uma missão católica desde muito jovem e se tornou o protegido dos padres. Em 1893, o rei Álvaro XIV, que havia estudado com ele em Luanda, o contratou como pajem. No ano seguinte ele se casou com Maria Tombe de Tuco na fortaleza real de Madimba. Exerceu a profissão de intérprete antes de se estabelecer em São Salvador, em 1909. Era descrito como "Um sábio nas maneiras e costumes dos brancos".

Com a morte de Pedro VII em junho de 1910, começou uma crise sucessória entre os batistas (apoiantes de Pedro Lelo) e os católicos, apoiantes de Manuel Comba. No início de julho, o administrador português José dos Santos convidou para sua residência os dois grupos para entrar em consenso para a sucessão ao trono. Os católicos afirmavam que Pedro Lelo estaria demasiado tempo fora do país desde que tinha sido impedido de reinar em 1896, devido a sua minoridade. José dos Santos apoia Manuel Comba, apoiado pelos católicos, que eram maioria na cidade. Ao final, Manuel Martins Quidito se candidatou e conseguiu apoio dos católicos e dos conselheiros reais por ser mais velho e experiente.

Manuel Comba é deposto sem nunca ter reinado em 1911, com isso Manuel é finalmente aceito como rei. Em 1 de julho de 1911, Manuel III é coroado e mesmo jurando sempre pedir auxilio aos conselheiros reais, decide por convidar dois sábios de seu clã em Madimba; Tulante Álvaro de Lovo e Mfutila de Zamba. No ano anterior, em 5 de outubro de 1910, um golpe de estado aboliu a monarquia portuguesa e estabeleceu a república. O Reino do Congo passou de um vassalo para um assunto de Portugal. Algo comparável a um protetorado. A mudança se deu pelos esforços do novo governo em desintegrar a ideia de monarquia em Portugal.

Em 1913 eclodiu uma revolta em São Salvador, onde o rei é traído por seu outrora conselheiro, Tulante Álvaro, que se junta aos rebeldes. A revolta foi finalmente contida em 1915 pelos portugueses. Posteriormente a monarquia congolesa foi abolida e o território foi integrado a África Ocidental Portuguesa. Em 1915, Manuel perde os direitos de pretender ao trono, já que o conselho real decide por reconhecer Álvaro Afonso como novo rei de forma simbólica e cultural em São Salvador. Manuel é exilado e morre anos mais tarde, em 1927.

Home La Liga Barcelona: A Lack of Central Penetration?
Barcelona: A Lack of Central Penetration?
TTTactics
Barcelona rose to their status as the best team in the world on the back of Pep Guardiola's extreme, idealistic vision of football. That 2008-2012 side were renowned for their incredibly high rates of possession, but an absolutely crucial, and overlooked, element of that philosophy – especially by the teams who would soon attempt to emulate Barca – was their central penetration.
Fast forward to 2016 and it seems that central penetration is missing from the Catalan club themselves. Visualised below by @11tegen11's passmaps, we see 10 games this season in which Barcelona have been forced wide by the opposition.
Four years ago, Guardiola left with his philosophies, followed soon after by his primary weapon of central penetration: Xavi. Andres Iniesta, the second most vital player to this concept, sees his playing time dramatically reduced as he reaches the age of 32 and the accumulation of over 600 appearances for the club catches up with him.
Passing through the heart of midfield lies mainly at the feet of Sergio Busquets now and it's something he is seemingly struggling with. Some put this down purely to form, but there are systematic issues at play here which are limiting.
Shutting down Barcelona by tightly marking Busquets was once the secret key to standing any chance against the great team, but it is now standard operation for every opposing team. Of course, focusing so much on one player opens up space for others. Typically, when Sergio is man-marked, he'll bring his marker with him away from the ball and give Gerard Pique space to bring the ball forward and make the play.
Pique has had some minor injury issues so far; of the 10 passmaps given, Pique and Busquets both start in six of them. Perhaps that justifies only four games, and it's not like Umtiti and Mascherano are especially poor passers of the ball. Space is also left deep for Croatian maestro Ivan Rakitic, but rather than operate as his team's playmaker he remains high and a little wide so as to flatten and stretch the opposition midfield, which alleviates and links him with Leo Messi.
There's also an argument to be had here about the limitations of passmaps. Despite being fantastic visual data tools they've also come under a little scrutiny recently because the combination of pass tracking and average positions can give a skewed view of the angle of the passes being made.
While Messi and Neymar receive a large number of passes on the touchline they're also the two best players in the world at bringing the ball inside into goal-threatening situations through both dribbling and creative passing.
Neymar's (left) and Messi's (right) Whoscored heatmaps against Granada:
This is where Barcelona are something of an exception to the rule. They can lean on their unmatched individual ability to consistently create high-quality, central situations from simple passes to feet out wide. That movement under Luis Enrique towards individualism and a more direct style of play is both the reason for a lack of central passing and the argument against it being a problem.
Barca's form isn't perfect. They lost in the Champions League to a Manchester City team that exacerbated Barca's width by turning the entire centre of the pitch into a congested, high-pressure zone. They sit second in the league, two points behind rivals Real Madrid. Barca show a different style of play in the post-Guardiola era and their form doesn't live up to his legacy either. But it was never realistic to hold them to the expectations set under Pep in play-style or form. In fact it was absolutely imperative that Barcelona looked to gradually evolve in new directions under new management rather than attempt to re-create a previous side as the memories and squads grew more and more distant. They remain – tactically imperfect and with an extraterrestrial talent level – one of the three best teams in the world, and that's exactly where they belong.

The History of Lauda Air
June 6, 2017 June 30, 2018 mytravelsaathiLeave a Comment on The History of Lauda Air
Lauda Air, the second carrier after Austrian Airlines itself to establish a presence in Vienna, had a history of both competition and cooperation with it.
Andreas Nikolaus "Niki" Lauda, the son of a paper factory owner, who forged a very different path than his father when he won the first of three Formula One world racing championships at 26-years-old, capitalized on his notoriety and invested his wealth in an airline that bore his name, Lauda Air Luftfahrt AG.
Acquiring Alpair Vienna's charter license for ATS 5 million in April of 1979, he commenced charter and air taxi service in cooperation with Austrian Airlines with two Fokker F.27 Friendships.
It quickly became apparent, however, that it could not coexist with incumbent Austrian in such a small home market, and the F.27s were consequently leased to Egyptair.
Entering a partnership with Greek financier Basile Varvaressos, owner of the ITAS travel agency, six years later, he leased two BAC-111-500s, a British twin-jet not unlike the SE.210 Caravelle and Douglas DC-9 in size, range, and design, from Tarom Romanian Airlines, increasing his fleet capacity to 208 seats in the process and operating them on charter and inclusive-tour (IT) services to Greece and other European destinations.
So high did demand become, however, that it soon exceeded capacity and a larger 737-200, this time acquired from Transavia Holland, replaced one of the BAC-111s. Still later, both types were superseded by two even higher-capacity 737-300s, which were operated on a steadily growing charter route network.
In May of 1986, Lauda Air applied to the Austrian Ministry of Transport for a license to operate scheduled international service for the first time. Approved in November of the following year, it signaled the end of Austrian Airlines' long-held monopoly and a subsequently obtained, 235-passenger Boeing 767-300ER, featuring both business and economy class cabins, facilitated long-range, intercontinental flights. The first, occurring on May 7, 1988, consisted of a single weekly frequency from Vienna to Hong Kong via Bangkok. It was later supplemented by a Vienna-Bangkok-Sydney sector.
Inextricably tied to the management of the airline that bore his name and frequently taking the left seat of his aircraft as the pilot that he was, he sought to differentiate it and hence attract passengers with quality, offering "Amadeus," instead of simply "business," class; catering his flights with cuisine from the highly esteemed DO & CO restaurant in downtown Vienna; featuring triangular shaped, porcelain plates during their in-flight service; and toting it all with the slogan, "Service is our success." It was.
But his signature style was expressed in several other ways, including high expectations of his employees, uniforms that included the red baseball caps and blue jeans he himself wore, a mandatory flight attendant retirement age of 38, and aircraft named after movie stars, singers, and artists, such as Bob Marley, John Lennon, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Elvis Preseley, Janis Joplin, Greta Garbo, Gregory Peck, Pablo Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway. One, reflecting his own passion, naturally bore the designation "Enzo Ferrari."
Flamboyant, charismatic, and a racing hero who had also won 26 Grand Prix championships, he was perhaps the Austrian equivalent of Richard Branson.
Filling the need for lower-fare, long-haul, leisure-oriented travel, Lauda Air grew rapidly. In 1985, for instance, it carried 95,768 passengers and flew 2,522 flight hours with 67 employees, while in the first ten months of 1987, it carried 236,730 passengers and undertook 5,364 flight hours with 169 employees, a 147-percent passenger increase.
By 1990, its fleet consisted of five aircraft–three 146-passenger 737-300s and two 235-passenger 767-300ERs–all of which were operated on charter services to Europe, Africa, and the Middle and Far East. The scheduled routes remained those between Vienna, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
Subsequently earning its license for European scheduled flights on August 23, 1990–a right thus far only held by flag carrier Austrian–Lauda Air inaugurated service between Vienna and London-Gatwick with five weekly 737-300 frequencies. But growth attracted more than passengers. It also attracted other airlines.
Because Lufthansa saw its growing presence in the Austrian market and its East European route access as potentially lucrative assets, it announced a marketing cooperation with Lauda Air in July of 1992, (which was initially envisioned as an offensive move against the aborted Austrian Airlines, KLM, SAS, and Swissair Alcazar Alliance), sealing the agreement the following January with a 26.5-percent capital increase, by means of its Condor charter carrier, shortly after which the two airlines inaugurated a quad-weekly 767-300ER service to Los Angeles. "Partner of Lufthansa," advertising the arrangement, appeared on Lauda's aircraft.
The fledgling Austrian carrier, no longer just a shadow of Austrian Airlines, was now aligned with a company far larger than itself and its initial, dual-aircraft fleet quickly quadrupled, now encompassing four narrow body 737s and four widebody 767s, operating between Munich, Miami, and Los Angeles with Condor equipment.
Painfully aware of competition from Austrian Airlines on scheduled inter-European routes, Lauda circumvented what would have resulted in low 737 load factors by ordering six 50-passenger Canadair CRJ-100 Regional Jets in October of 1993 to operate them.
Deployed to Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels, Geneva, Manchester, and Stockholm, they marked the start of the summer timetable, which became effective on March 27, 1994. Singapore, which replaced Bangkok in November of that year, served as its new "bridge" between Vienna and Sydney/Melbourne, and the weekly 767 service was doubled. By the fall it served 11 scheduled and 42 charter destinations.
On March 26 of the following year, Lauda Air established a second European hub, Milan-Malpensa, in cooperation with Lufthansa, which now held a 39.7-percent stake in the fledgling carrier, basing three of its six CRJ-100s there and operating them to Barcelona, Brussels, Dublin, Manchester, Paris, and Vienna. The Canadair Regional Jets, along with an increasing number of 737s, became the backbone of its European fleet.
Its statistics were hardly embarrassments. Indeed, it carried 1.5 million passengers in 1995, a significant percentage of whom provided business class yield, and employed 1,200 by the following year.
It soon become apparent, however, that pending European deregulation was not likely to tolerate dozen-aircraft airlines unless they served very small, specific market niches. Lauda Air had been unable to survive in the face of competition from Austrian Airlines once before. Because both operated medium- and long-range, twin-engine aircraft from bases in Vienna and offered considerable passenger service quality, cooperation between the two became inevitable.
Not surprisingly, it had already been partially consummated in June of 1996, when Austrian Airlines and Lauda Air operated single-aircraft, dual-code flights to Nice, Milan, and Rome with the Regional Jet for the first time.
On March 12, 1997, however, this was expanded, when the tri-carrier Austrian Airlines Group, comprised of Austrian Airlines itself, Lauda Air, and Tyrolean Airways, was formed, each operating within its own niche, based upon its experience, strengths, and aircraft types. The former, for example, remained the flag carrier on scheduled medium- and long-range sectors, while Tyrolean served domestic and regional markets with turboprop and pure-jet airliners. Lauda Air, although initially retaining its scheduled Asian and Australian flights, now primarily focused on leisure-oriented charter destinations.
Nevertheless, on September 24 of that year, it took delivery of its second widebody aircraft type, the 777-200, which it inaugurated into service on the Vienna-Singapore-Sydney-Melbourne route the following month, replacing the venerable 767.
Two years later, all three Austrian Airlines Group carriers announced their intention of joining the Star Alliance as a collective whole and this became effective on March 26, 2000 at which time Niki Lauda relinquished his role as chief executive officer.
As the lower-cost arm within the three-airline group, Lauda provided medium- and long-range scheduled and charter service on leisure-oriented routes with a four-type, 22-aircraft fleet, maintaining its own identity.
But in 2004, the first steps toward integration with the Austrian Airlines brand occurred with the ratification of a joint Austrian-Lauda Air cockpit crew contract, and aircraft OE-LAE become the first of four 767-300s to be repainted in Austrian Airlines livery, introducing a new interior color scheme and a 24-seat business and 230-seat economy class configuration. Lauda Air itself reverted to a single-class, high-density charter carrier within the group, operating a narrow body fleet of Boeing 737s and Airbus A-320s.
Throughout its history, it had operated five basic pure-jet aircraft types, including 12 CRJ-100s, which were ultimately operated by or sold to Austrian Arrows, Tyrolean Airways, Lufthansa CityLine, and Air Littoral. It also flew almost all versions of the Boeing 737, inclusive of the single 737-200 leased from Transavia Holland at the beginning of its climb, three 737-300s, three 737-400s, two 737-600s, two 737-700s, and seven 737-800s, often operating certain frequencies to destinations such as London-Heathrow alongside Austrian Airlines' A-320-200s or A-321-100/200s at other times. It also flew two of the A-320s itself.
Of its exclusively Boeing widebody aircraft, it operated up to 11 767-300ERs at one time or another, which bore registrations OE-LAE, -LAS, -LAT, -LAU, -LAV, -LAW, -LAX, -LAY, and -LAZ. Two also sported French registrations. Aircraft OE-LAV was involved in the inexplicable thrust reverser deployment accident over Thailand in 1991, which resulted in the loss of all 213 passengers and ten crew members on board.
Three 777-200ERs were also operated, registered OE-LPA, -LPB, and -LPC. These, along with six 767s, were eventually flown by parent Austrian Airlines in its own colors and replaced its long-range Airbus A-330 and A-340 fleet.

Derek Jeter Leaves Yankee Stadium A Winner
WNYC Radio | By Jim O'Grady
Published September 26, 2014 at 2:22 AM MST
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
Derek Jeter ended his 20-year career at Yankee Stadium last night in classic fashion.
Bottom of the ninth, score tied, man on second.
CORNISH: The Yankee shortstop stepped up to the plate and hit a game-winning single in front of a sold-out crowd of 40,000 fans. Jim O'Grady of member station WNYC joined them.
JIM O'GRADY, BYLINE: You want Yankee fans? Take the D train to the Bronx before the game. Except the first one I find is from Boston.
BRITNEY HENDERSON: I'm actually a Red Sox fan but I can appreciate that he's an amazing player. So for him I'll wear some Yankees gear. (Laughter) It burns me a little inside but I'll do it.
O'GRADY: That's Britney Henderson. She attended the game with Alejandro Mora, who bought their tickets more than a year ago.
O'GRADY: Did it cost a lot of money?
ALEJANDRO MORA: I don't think it has a value to those ticket.
O'GRADY: Except it does. What's the number? Want to say?
MORA: I can't.
O'GRADY: Why not?
MORA: Because for me Derek Jeter does not have a price.
O'GRADY: Which means you paid a ton of money?
MORA: I paid what it was worth.
O'GRADY: Not even rude questions could spoil Mora's mood.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVAL RECORDING)
O'GRADY: I heard that at the end of the game, the clouds over the stadium will part and Derek will be raptured up unto heaven to sit at the right hand of God. Is that true?
MORA: Just rumors.
O'GRADY: He was right. There was no rapturing. But this single game had an average reported ticket price of $830. For Brandon Aghamalian of Austin, Texas add to that the cost of airfare for himself, his wife and their five-year-old daughter Juliet.
BRANDON AGHAMALIAN: I wanted her to be able to say that she saw Derek Jeter play.
O'GRADY: They caught the second to last game as a family. But Aghamalian was going to this one by himself. When asked why a fan outside New York should care about Derek Jeter or buy into the idea that he's an ambassador of baseball, Aghamalian had an answer.
AGHAMALIAN: The fact that he's never been ejected from a game - you know, he never showed up opposing players. He always had the utmost respect for his teammates. He loved to compete. He loved to play against the best.
O'GRADY: The train pulls into 161st Street - Yankee Stadium. Outside Gate E is Marie Palladino, selling buttons.
MARIE PALLADINO: Two for five, one for three - who's the man? Jeter. Jeter.
O'GRADY: The buttons had a mash-up of the Yankees logo and Jeter's number two.
PALLADINO: The energy, the excitement, the sadness...
O'GRADY: Those were her operatic reasons for coming to the stadium. Palladino also had the inside scoop on Jeter's life after baseball.
PALLADINO: He's coming back, either as a manager - he's doing - he has something up his sleeve.
O'GRADY: You think?
PALLADINO: I think. I know.
O'GRADY: You know, it's weird when you were saying he's coming back like that, I thought you were talking about the Messiah.
PALLADINO: (Laughter) He is. No, I don't want - no, no, I can't go there.
O'GRADY: So there is a limit to worship of Derek Jeter. Or there was, until this happened in the bottom of the ninth.
UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Base hit to right field. Here comes Richardson. Here's the throw from Markakis. Derek Jeter ends his final game with a walk-off single.
O'GRADY: And now Yankee fans are revising their opinion of Derek Jeter upward yet again. For NPR News, I'm Jim O'Grady. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Those of a morbid streak will have to look elsewhere, as there will be no salacious description of the body in these pages. Suffice it to say that the man in question was distinctly dead, and that his posture lacked something, namely any sense of human proportion. It was clear to all present that some very violent force had met with the sadly decedent. "Fell from a height, is my guess," Muldoon pronounced.
Reggie looked up. The trees around them were tall and possessed of thick branches. It was possible that someone might have climbed up one of them, then fallen out and come to harm. Said harm was likely to be a broken leg, though, or at worst a snapped neck. The body before them showed considerably more distress.
Needless to say there were no tall buildings nearby. Nor any suspicious hot air balloons hovering overhead.
"Real corker, isn't it?" Muldoon said, as Neville squatted down to get a better look. "Seen some horrors in my time, and it is my professional opinion this is a bad one."
"Such a tragedy," Neville assented.
"Got an anonymous call last night telling me where it'd be," Muldoon informed them. "Figured since the man was already dead there was no rush, so I came down this morning and found him exactly as he is now. I recognized him at once as Old Hoak, a poacher I've had to run out of these woods more than once for hunting without a license."
"Ah, that might explain the rabbits," Neville said.
It was the right decision the present author made earlier, not to describe the condition of the dead body. It was perhaps erring on the side of caution not to mention the rabbits. Let us amend that mistake now:
The man in question was distinctly dead, and that his posture lacked something, namely any sense of human proportion. What it did possess was a brace of rabbits tied by their feet to his belt.
The rabbits, in the interest of thorough reportage, were also dead.
"I'm telling you all this, of course, because I'm hoping you might aid me in my inquiries," Muldoon went on. "Either of you hear anything last night? Maybe something like a scream of terror that was cut off quite abruptly?"
Neville glanced at Reggie, who shrugged. "No, nothing like that."
"No sounds of a struggle, or any sign of cars passing through here at a late hour?" Muldoon went on. "No gunshots fired, or any sound of violence?"
"Quiet night, really. I stayed up a bit reading. Didn't hear anything out of the ordinary." Out of the ordinary for a mummy living in a haunted house, anyway.
Muldoon looked positively sheepish as he asked his next question. "No sound of vast wings, like a giant bat passing by overhead?"
"A giant bat?" Neville asked, carefully. He could tell that Muldoon was asking in earnest.
"Flapping, like. You know. Wings," Muldoon asked. He looked away as he said it. "Vast wings."
"I don't… believe so," Neville said, slowly. He turned to look at Reggie. Reggie who, as a werewolf, had a preternaturally sharp sense of hearing.
"I was asleep all night," the werewolf insisted. He'd been drinking, you see, and—
"Of course, it would be impossible," Muldoon said. "No bat could be large enough to pick this fellow up and fly away with him."
"It does seem unlikely," Neville agreed.
"No, such a thing couldn't exist. The laws of biology would prevent it. Inverse square law and… and all that. Had to ask, though."
"You… did?"
"With the stories about the Pinemont Dragon, and all. The myth of the dragon, that is. Because such a beast is purely in the realm of mythology. After all, monsters don't exist in the real world."
Neville was still squatting next to the body. He tilted his head back to look up into the policeman's face. "I wouldn't go so far as—"
But Reggie had seen something in Muldoon's countenance. Something that made him step forward and say, very quickly, "'Course they don't. What do you take us for, little kids afraid of boogeymen in the closet?"
"Hardly," Muldoon said. He nodded meaningfully at Reggie. It was a nod that could have written a very long book on the topic of mutual understanding. "You seem like smart folk. The kind of folk who know better than to believe silly stories. Still, had to ask. Well, gentlemen," he said, putting away his little notebook, "I appreciate your assistance. I need to get back to the stationhouse now and arrange to have this body removed. Can't just leave things like this lying around."
Except you did, Reggie thought. You got this anonymous call last night, and you left the body lying here until morning.
He made a point of not saying any of those words out loud.
"Reggie," Neville said, "go and get the Packard. I imagine we can give this poor soul one last ride. Least we can do, seeing as he died on our land."
"No need for that," Muldoon said, shaking his head. "There's Arthur Foster in town, the coal man. He's got a panel truck we use as an ambulance. And a hearse. And a fire truck. It also delivers the newspaper."
"A truck that wears many hats," Neville said. "As it were."
"Just so."
Neville rose and put his fists on his hips. "I won't hear of it. There's plenty of room in the car, and anyway, what if a fire broke out suddenly? Or a late edition of the paper?"
"If you insist, though I'm afraid this fellow's going to make a mess on your upholstery."
"Oh," Neville said, "we've had to clean out worse."

2X Grammy Nominated Former Nappy Roots Member R. Prophet Releases New Single Dissing R. Kelly
By: R. Prophet
Jesse James Single
R. Prophet
ATLANTA - March 5, 2019 - PRLog -- . R. Prophet, former lead of the multi-platinum group Nappy Roots, has gotten a similar deal to Master P's landmark deal. R. Prophet's label, VVS Music 1, teamed up with Ray Hamilton (former CEO of Legion of Doom Dj's) of That Rabbit Distribution in a joint venture with Sony Music Orchard to deliver his highly anticipated album, "THE VOICE." The anticipated smash hit "Jesse James", a single on the album, is sure to crash radio waves worldwide. R. Prophet's witty lyrics also make reference to R. Kelly's behavior, and some may even say it's an R. Kelly diss.
The single "Jesse James" gives you NWA, going against the grain, rebel vibes. "I just want people to know my truth and how I'm really feeling. Some folks may think it's a diss but it's me speaking my truth. If Kelly takes this song as a diss, then that's on him. He got a lot more to worry about then my upcoming #1 hit single," says a very outspoken R. Prophet. "Jesse James" was inspired by the police brutality R. Prophet came face to face with a few years back. R. Prophet is an advocate against police brutality after surviving being tased 15 times at the hands of Kentucky State Police in which he was already reportedly awarded in a $1 million dollar judgment previously from the state of Kentucky. The single is a story of power, control, love and hate.

Gerard Butler's Steamy Affair With Married Star Revealed!
Gerard Butler had a sexy affair with a very high profile Hollywood actress and model that led to her divorce.
According to RadarOnline the saucy Scottish actor carried on an affair with the woman in question for months behind her husband's back.
Though the publication does not confirm the name of the woman, it does confirm that the model turned actress later divorced her husband in the hope that she could be with the '300' star.
A source revealed: "It was a very intense relationship. She had very strong feelings for Gerard, despite the fact that she was a newlywed at the time."
"They would exchange heated text messages, emails and phone calls. She would drop anything to be with Gerard. The two would hook-up at his hotel when he was in Los Angeles."
Gerard is known for his womanising and hard-partying ways and was seeing a number of women at the same time of the alleged affair.
The insider went on: "the affair continued and she decided to file for divorce."
"She thought Gerard wanted to be in a relationship with her but then she found out he was involved with other girls, and hadn't been exactly honest with her about what was going on in his life."
The 'P.S I Love You' star has admitted that he has enjoyed his star status in Hollywood, but following his treatment for addiction issues in January has vowed to clear up his image.
His admission into rehab was reportedly what ended the alleged affair.
"[The woman] began calling Gerard incessantly and he changed his cell phone number," the source revealed. "She hasn't been in touch with him since he decided to go to rehab. Gerard has obviously moved on but she is now going through a divorce and trying to support her son (from a previous relationship)."
We wonder who Gerard's partner in crime was? With lots of break-ups last year it could be a bevy of beauties. He was recently linked to the freshly divorced Katy Perry.

S.A.Y Detroit Play Center set to open this week for youth
danielawashington
Detroit Free Press renown columnist Mitch Albom and Detroit Lions Quarterback Matthew Stafford have teamed up to reopen one of Detroit's recreational centers for youth.
Stafford's Score7 Charitable Foundation, Albom's S.A.Y. Detroit and the City of Detroit have partnered in an effort to transform the former abandoned Lipke Center into a unique new facility that will in academic achievement.
S.A.Y Detroit founder Albom said he believes that the center will cultivate an opportunity for young athletes to gain the academic help needed to be the best student athlete possible.
"Our dream when we started planning this facility was to create first class athletics to inspire first class academics," said Albom. "This is a great day to see those two dreams coming together, and I hope this place becomes a launching pad for the dreams of Detroit kids whom it will serve."
The center is located on 14.2 acres in the Osborn area. The facility is expected to uplift the community while granting students to high-tech equipment and access to professional athletes. There was 7,000 sq. ft. of a digital learning center built specifically for students that will also be unveiled along with a fully-equipped music recording studio provided by national non-profit Notes for Notes.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to impact our city's young people and make a change for the better in their educational experience by preparing them for college, jobs, and whatever else lies ahead," said Stafford.
The grounds outside of the newly opened center will be accessible to the public during the time that students are not using the facility. Students progress and retention of school related subject matters will be monitored with the help of local schools.
The center will offer an accountability system to encourage student's daily attendance in school as well as offer on-site tutoring for those struggling to meet academic standards set by their school.
"Thanks to Mitch Albom and Matthew Stafford, this neighborhood has an incredible facility that rivals what you'll see in any city in this region," said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. "And it's so important that there is such a strong emphasis on youth academics, not just athletics. This is a great partnership and a great day for this community."
Other organizations that helped in the venture include:
Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries work crew
Haworth for their amazing furnishings
DOW Foundation

Q: Kotlin firebase read child of child data does not work I was trying to read firebase data on kotlin side. I can read one single child's data(.child("user")), but if I tried to read under "id" data(.child("user").child("id")), it will crash.
I tried every method but still, I can't figure it out. Can anyone help me out?
in addition, when I read data from iOS side, it worked with just adding .child(path) func but on Kotlin side, it does not work
private lateinit var database : DatabaseReference
private lateinit var sectionRecyclerView: RecyclerView
private lateinit var sectionArrayList : ArrayList<SermonSection>

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_section)

    sectionRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.sectionList)
    sectionRecyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)
    sectionRecyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true)

    sectionArrayList = arrayListOf<SermonSection>()
    getData()

}

private fun getData() {

    //Database Declaration
    database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference.child("user").child("id")
    database.addValueEventListener(object : ValueEventListener {

                sectionRecyclerView.adapter = SectionAdapter(sectionArrayList)
            }
        }

    })

}

for the SermonSection class has just two values of string
EX).
detailSection
sectionTitle

A: If you want to get detailSection & sectionTitle and save it to SermonSection object, then you need to read the child under id called password
this:
database = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference.child("user").child("id").child("password")

Rededication of England as the Dowry of Mary
The Rededication and COVID-19
Is the Rededication affected by the coronavirus pandemic? In short, no. The beauty of this dedication is its personal nature, meaning that we can make the Rededication wherever we may be, with others or on our own. Even though circumstances mean that we cannot make the Rededication together at Mass on 29th March, we will still be united in our prayer. The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of why the Rededication is so important at this moment. In this time of fear and uncertainty, it is of the greatest importance for us to place ourselves under the protection and guidance of Christ through Mary, Our Mother.
The Rededication Events
All who have followed the 33 days retreat will make their consecration on the 25th March. This will be followed by a triduum of prayer leading up to the Rededication itself. In this time, we will ponder and treasure the words of Mary, asking for Her intercession for England and the world. On 29th March at 12 noon, those taking part will be praying the Rededication prayers wherever they are. A copy of the prayers can be downloaded from www.behold2020.com.

There are two churches in our parish, St Marie's and St Joseph's. The parish priest resides in the presbytery at St Marie's.
St Marie's Church is in the heart of the town centre on Manchester Road, Bury BL9 0DR.
St Joseph's Church is on Peter Street, Bury BL9 6AB.
Tower Restoration
Following the award of £214,500 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards restoring St Marie's tower and lantern, work began in June 2019.
The tower was dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt. The sloping pediment was repointed and clad in lead to prevent rainwater penetration.
Inside the church rotted lengths of the main roof purlins were replaced. Major cracks to the masonry in the west wall were found and had to be repaired and the wall made more rigid. This additional work, heavy rain in early 2020 and the pandemic added many weeks to the project.
A digital carillon that chimes the hour and plays part of the Lourdes Hymn at noon and 6 p.m. was also installed.
The completion of the work in October 2020 is a terrific achievement for all. Our new challenge is to meet the second part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund's requirements: promotion of the heritage—so watch this space!
We would like to thank the National Lottery Heritage Fund and players of the National Lottery for the financial support received.

Mallory Knox was formed in September 2009 in Cambridgeshire, England, when a shared love of melodic punk brought the quintet together. The band's unusual name comes from actress Juliette Lewis's psychotic character in the cult movie, 'Natural Born Killers'. Dedicated to their chosen task, the five shut themselves away for many months before finally unleashing the band's uncompromised sound on an unsuspecting public. In fact, it wasn't until July 2011 that the band released their debut EP, 'Pilot'. The EP received rave reviews and earned Mallory Knox some prestigious slots at the UK's biggest festivals including Download in 2012. 2013 saw the release of the critically acclaimed 'Signals' album, and in October 2014 the release of their second album, 'Asymmetry', which was produced by renowned producer Gil Norton (Pixies, Patti Smith, Echobelly and Feeder).
"I LOVE MY MARSHALL 1987X. IT DELIVERS ALL I NEED FOR MY HEAVY RHYTHM TONE AND ABSOLUTELY SCREAMS WHEN I STICK A BOOST IN FRONT FOR MY RIFFS AND LEAD PARTS. NO OTHER AMP CAN GET CLOSE TO THE CLASSIC MARSHALL SOUND."

70 Years On, Primo Levi's 'If This Is A Man' Is Still A Powerful Reminder Of What It Means To Be Human
April 30, 2017 John Jackson My Blog
Nicholas Heron, The University of Queensland
When he was captured by the Fascist militia in December of 1943, Primo Levi (1919-1987) preferred to declare his status as an "Italian citizen of the Jewish race" than admit to the political activities of which he was suspected, which he supposed would have resulted in torture and certain death.
As a Jew, he was consequently sent to a detention camp at Fossoli, which assembled all the various categories of persons no longer welcome in the recently established Fascist Republic. Two months later, following the inspection of a small squad of German SS men, he was loaded onto a train, together with all the other Jewish members of the camp, for expatriation from the Republic altogether.
His destination, he was to learn, was Auschwitz; a name that at the time held no significance for him, but that initially provided a sense of relief, since it at least implied "some place on this earth".
Of the 650 who departed Fossoli that day, only three would return. Yet Levi's magnificent testimony of the Lager, Se questo è un uomo (If This is a Man) – which he would compose in the immediate aftermath of the resumption of his life in Turin, and which was first published 70 years ago in 1947, making it one of the earliest eyewitness accounts we have – is far from a heroic description of his "survival in Auschwitz" (as the American title given to his text would have it). Although in an important sense it is also that.
Indeed, what is striking about Levi's contribution, still today, is the conspicuous absence of a heroic register from its pages, whose appropriateness in this context – which is in large part what Levi teaches us – must surely be as questionable as the temptation to invoke it is strong.
With characteristic, but unsettling irony, it is the word fortune that appears instead in the very first sentence of his text ("It was my good fortune to be deported to Auschwitz only in 1944…") and that sets the tone for all that follows. In the camp, it is not virtue that governs fortune; it is fortune that governs virtue.
Levi was sent to the detention camp at Fossoli after his capture.

It is the original title of Levi's book that in truth gives expression to what will be his principal concern. Yet this is easily misunderstood. It is not exactly a question, and certainly not one that solicits an answer. But it is not even a question whose answer would be provided by the text itself, which claims no such privilege.
As we learn from the poem that opens the text, it must be understood instead to contain an implicit imperative: "Consider if this is man…" It is an order, a command ("I command these words to you"); one that is linked, moreover, to an imprecation:
Carve them in your hearts
… Repeat them to your children,
Or may your house fall apart,
May illness impede you,
May your children turn their faces from you.
It is thus an admonition that we ("You who live safe/In your warm houses") not avert our gaze. But since Levi, remarkably, includes even himself in this category, it functions also as a kind of self-admonition.
For the description of what Levi calls the "ambiguous life of the Lager" alters our understanding of the very structure of witnessing. And it does so by bringing to light the existence of a distinct oppositional pair much less evident in ordinary life: the drowned (i sommersi) and the saved (i salvati).
In Auschwitz, all the ritual humiliations appeared as if designed to hasten the prisoner's descent to what Levi termed "the bottom". But this process was especially accelerated in the case of those he called the drowned: "they followed the slope down to the bottom, like streams that run down to the sea".
These were the prisoners who, for whatever reason (and the reasons were many), never adjusted to the brutal regimen of life in the camp; whose time in the camp was thus consequently very brief; yet whose number was apparently endless.
In the jargon of the camp, these were the Muselmänner, the "Muslims", whose tenuous existence, even prior to their imminent selection for the gas chamber, already hovered in an indistinct zone between life and death, human and non-human. These, according to Levi, were the ones who had truly seen all the way to the bottom: the ones who (as he would later powerfully record) had truly seen the Gorgon.
With respect to the "anonymous mass" of the drowned, the number of the saved, on the other hand, was comparatively few. Yet by no means did it consist of the best, and certainly not of the elect. To invoke the guiding hand of providence in the midst of such atrocity was nothing short of abhorrent to Levi.
Primo Levi in the 1950s.
He is unflinching on precisely this delicate point: with rare exceptions, the saved comprised those who, in one way or another, whether through fortune or astuteness, had managed to gain some position of privilege in the structured hierarchy of the camp.
More often than not, this entailed the renunciation of at least a part of the moral universe that existed outside the camp. Not that the saved, any more than the drowned, are to be judged on this account. As Levi insists, words such as good and evil, just and unjust, quickly cease to have any meaning on this side of the barbed wire.
It was nonetheless his conviction that those who had not fathomed all the way to the bottom could not be the true witnesses. Yet far from invalidating the survivor's testimony this made it all the more urgent.
According to Levi, it is the saved who must bear witness for the drowned, but also to the drowned. For in him is mirrored what he himself saw.
"Consider if this is a man…": the imperative issued by Levi's text is thus not that one should persist in seeing the human in the inhuman. It is more like its opposite: that one bear must witness to the inhuman in the human. And that our humanity in some sense depends on this.

Historic qualities restored for generations to come; Apollo House Amsterdam
The Apollohouse is one of Amsterdams most striking monuments. The building dates from 1938 and was designed by Dirk Roosenburg to house the Rijks Verzekerings Bank. Commissioned by Allen & Overy, Fokkema & Partners renovated the stately Listed Building. With the renovation the energy performance improved greatly: the sustainability label is now A.
Client Allen & Overy
Square 17.800
Timeline January 2008 - June 2012
When the Apollohouse was just built, it was a very innovative building with a clear structure, high ceilings and affluent daylight. Alterations in the last century had transformed the interior into a messy labyrinth though, with suspended ceilings and quite a massive décor. As a part of the renovation the building was outfitted it with a new interior; from entrance hall, restaurant, conference centre to the 450 workplaces for the employees.
One of the main design principles was to bring back the old qualities in timeless way. This is achieved by restoring the original ceiling height and emphasizing the original clear structure of the building. Some vanished details, fortunately sometimes only concealed, could be restored to its original state.
A contemporary design
To encourage and improve contact between the staff on different floor levels new stairs have been made to connect the office floors directly. These provide extra routing possibilities and views from one floor to at least two other floors.
The implementation of a WKO-installation, a climate ceiling, an activated facade and new glazing improved the energy performance from a G to an A-label.
Another main design goal was to substantially improve the energy efficiency of the building, built in the 1930's. The implementation of a WKO-installation, a climate ceiling, an activated facade and new glazing improved the energy performance from a G to an A-label.
The materialisation and detailing of the new interior is inspired on the 1930s but is also contemporary, high-end, light and timeless. The result is both classic and modern.
Photography by Arjan Bronkhorst.
The steel structure is one of the highlights of the Apollo House. These "knots" were originally conceiled and exposed making the voids for the new stairs. Today they are a distinctive feature in the new interior.
The facade was activated and climate ceilings were installed to contribute to the sustainability goals and provide a comfortable work environment.
The souterrain was transformed from a storage area to the company restaurant.
The restaurant is tucked away in the former semi basement.
The raw atmosphere due to the exposed construction is complemented with rudimentary finishes such as the tiled floor and contrasted with refined interior elements like the leather benches.
The extension to the restaurant makes a stronger connection to the building courtyards.

Seven alleged FARC soldiers turned themselves over, along with 1.2 tons of explosives to Colombian military forces in the southwestern department of Putomayo Monday.
Seven members of FARC's squad 48 surrendered voluntarily to units of the Mobile Brigade No. 13″, according to a military press release.
The explosives were intended for use against civilians, security forces and oil companies, according to the military.
In addition to the explosives, soldiers confiscated detonating cord, a shotgun and ammunition.
The surrendered FARC rebels met with authorities to start the process of demobilization in hopes of returning to civilian life.


Our master of ceremonies Phil Keoghan kicks off the season with shots of the Pacific Coast and settles in on the starting line of the race – a temple in Los Angeles. As the teams exit the charter bus that is discreetly wrapped to serve as a rolling billboard for the show, they waste no time and give each team about a 30-second introduction video package.
Andy & Tommy – former Olympic snowboarders. They assure us that the slacker stereotype will fade when it comes time to compete. I feel good about already dubbing them Team Dude.
Ethan & Jenna – dating Survivor winners. Ethan's bout with and current remission for cancer gives the "Survivor" tag more gravitas.
Laurence & Zac – father/son boating experts.
Ernie & Cindy – engaged corporate America flunkies. Okay, that "flunkies" part may be harsh and isn't in their clip but their online interviews still resonate with me in that they could easily be labeled Team Middle Management.
Justin & Jennifer – brother and sister. They supposedly talk out their issues or yell them out but Justin slaps her with a "hothead" label that she seems to embrace with an unashamed, "I agree." This pair could be entertaining and complete Race failures.


When I created 11h11.com in 1999 (yes in the 20th century) I had some specific needs that made co-location hosting not an option. I had to learn how to manage a dedicated server running apache, postgresql, php, postfix, vsftp etc.
15 years later, I finally took the time to port this server to the SSD cloud for a fraction of the price. I also opt for using nginx instead of apache. Here's my note, feel free to poke me if you have any questions.
#  Allow HTTP and HTTPS connections from anywhere (the normal ports for websites and SSL).
You should set the /etc/hostname – /etc/hosts & dpkg-reconfigure tzdata & reverse dns. Also after installing all your services and before going to production, it is a good idea to scan your server for vulnerabilities. For that you can use a "free PCI scan service".
I am using the official repository of nginx to install the stable version of nginx on ubuntu 14.04 lts. You can also compile it from source, but then you will need to keep it updated manually.
Depending on your instance capacity (mostly ram / cpu), you should tweak nginx, php and mysql settings. Do not use those values. Only a reference for a single core, 1GB ram. You should set date.timezone in php.ini.
There's no support for .htaccess in nginx. Everything is configured in the server block. You can use this online tool to convert your apache rewrite rules to nginx.
Be sure to use a cache plug-in.
Also you need to be sure to add an AAAA entry in your DNS for your IPV6 and reverse IP it so that gmail accept your email. Also setup OpenDKIM as explained here + adding a SPF record in your DNS. Finally if you are using alias (hello@example.com to me@gmail.com) you need to install SRS https://github.com/roehling/postsrsd. Yes it is a pain to run a mail server, you should consider using external services if you can avoid 550-5.7.1 from gmail and yahoo DMARC.


After hosting Zimbabwe and almost becoming the first side to concede an away Test series to them in seventeen years, it's now Bangladesh's turn to face a Windies side that will be looking at their upcoming Test series to regain some long-lost confidence.
It wasn't an impressive last outing for the Windies, who were largely dominated in all three formats. They went down 2-0 in the Test series, 3-1 in the ODI series and 3-0 in the T20Is.
However there were a few bright spots, particularly the form of Roston Chase who scored a century and a fifty in the Tests. There's also the fact that the team has the an advantage as far as adapting to slow and low pitches in Bangladesh after spending an extended amount of time in India in similar conditions.
The touring party will largely be the same, comprising of the likes of Shai Hope, Sunil Ambris, Shimron Hetmyer and Kieran Powell.
They will be ready for the challenge of facing Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan after spending an entire series facing the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
Regular captain Jason Holder will be a big win for Windies. He has been sidelined from the series due to a shoulder injury. While he undergoes a rehabilitation programme in Barbados, Kraigg Brathwaite will stand in as captain.
On the other hand, Bangladesh's inspirational captain Shakib-al-Hasan is still a doubt with the decision on his inclusion likely to be taken before the toss.
"We know how challenging it is to play a five-day match. So still there is confusion whether I have reached that level (to play)," Shakib told reporters in Chittagong.
"I have trained only in four sessions. Among them, two sessions were optional. Let's see, I may have to wait till the end."
As a result, specially in the bowling department, Taijul Islam will be required to carry on his stellar form from the series against Zimbabwe, where he was named player of the series for his three consecutive five-wicket hauls.
Taijul Islam too took an important five wicket haul in the second innings of the second Test to save Bangladesh from a series loss. As far as the bowling department goes, Bangladesh seem to have things in order.
It is the batting, though, which is a bit of a concern for the home side. The top order has hardly replicated their limited overs form, and with uncapped opener Sadman Islam having been included in the Test squad after good performances in practice games, the pressure is firmly on Imrul Kayes and Soumya Sarkar to give Bangladesh the kind of opening partnerships on the bedrock of which big Test scores are made.
Kayes and Liton Das (who has now been axed) put up only one fifty plus partnership in the two-Test series against Zimbabwe.
Windies will be boosted by the fact that the Bangladesh batsmen were routinely tested by Zimbabwean fast bowlers in the previous series, which will have Keemo Paul and Kemar Roach licking their lips. On the other hand, Mustafizur Rahman and Khaled Ahmed did not do enough on their part and their relative inability to bring in reverse swing later on in the innings means that contributing with the new ball becomes even more important.
Conservative bowling lines outside off stump will have to be replaced with aggressive lines that make the batsmen play, if Bangladesh are to give themselves a chance of picking up early wickets.
If the tour matches are any indication, Windies are increasingly becoming more comfortable encountering spinning conditions. The likes of Shai Hope and Rovman Powell have gotten their eye in with scores of 88 and 72 respectively in their last two-day practice match against the Bangladesh Cricket Board XI.
After a tough series against India, this series presents a chance for Windies to get back to winning ways in international cricket. For Bangladesh, nothing less than a series victory will be expected by a cricket loving nation to further cement their identity as a team which has truly 'arrived' on the international scene.
The Windies though, are not likely to give the home team as much leeway as their last visitors did.
The first Test will take place from November 22 in Chittagong.

Expert Meeting Discusses Testing of Oxitec Transgenic Mosquitoes in Panama
Oxitec
PANAMA CITY, Panama, May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
International scientific and government experts held a forum on 16 May 2012 to discuss the potential use of Oxitec's genetically modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as a tool to combat Dengue Fever in Panama.
The independent forum was co-organised by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), The Gorgas Memorial Institute for Health Studies and the University of Panama. This brought together national and regional experts from these institutes as well as the Pan American Health Organisation, Panama's Ministry of Health and Oxitec. It was held in order to bring all parties together and address issues raised by pressure groups in a closed meeting in March. These groups were invited to participate in the Smithsonian forum but did not attend.
The Gorgas Memorial Institute for Health Studies (GMI) is a medical research institution that, for more than 80 years, has been dedicated to investigating diseases in the tropics and preventive medicine. The Institute is named after Dr. William Crawford Gorgas, who is credited with eradicating yellow fever in Panama, a disease spread by the same mosquito, Aedes aegypti, that now spreads Dengue Fever. As a pioneer in disease prevention GMI is seeking to evaluate Oxitec's approach to combat the dengue mosquito in Panama. The Gorgas initiative was publicised last year in an open forum attended by the Health Minister Dr. Franklin Vergara. The Smithsonian conference was the latest in a series of events, which has also included TV and newspaper coverage and community meetings, designed to engage and inform the public, media and officials in Panama about Oxitec's solution.
At the forum Dr Luke Alphey, Oxitec's Chief Scientific Officer, explained how Oxitec's genetically modified Dengue mosquito can offer an effective, sustainable approach to controlling the Dengue mosquito in Panama. Dr Alphey said:
"We are very grateful to the Smithsonian for taking the initiative and hosting this meeting. Dengue fever is a serious problem in Panama and the Oxitec 'birth control for insects' approach offers a potential solution. As with any new technology, there are important questions to be discussed, and we are always happy to listen and respond to those questions. Today's meeting, together with the number of local community meetings that we have participated in, has provided a useful forum for us to do just that."
Dengue Fever is a growing global health challenge, infecting between 50-100 million people every year. The incidence and severity of this disease has increased steadily in the Americas and the Caribbean during recent years. During 2011, Panama registered 3,882 Dengue cases which resulted in 16 deaths and large expenses for the public health sector.
Néstor Sosa, Director of the Gorgas Commemorative Institute for Health Studies (GCIHS), said:
"Available information suggests that the Oxitec approach is an effective and safe tool for mosquito control. Therefore the GCIHS, in collaboration with the British company Oxitec Ltd, have initiated the process required to study the genetically modified mosquitoes in Panama."

About Oxitec (http://www.oxitec.com)
Oxitec is developing and commercialising an effective and environment-friendly proprietary technology for the control of significant insect pests. Oxitec's technology has the potential to make a major contribution to both global health and agriculture by combating insects responsible for serious diseases such as Dengue Fever as well as agricultural damage. The proprietary technology builds on inventions from the University of Oxford and employs genetics and molecular biology to enhance the existing radiation based Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), and to extend the control method to a broader range of insect pests.
About Dengue
Dengue is the most common mosquito-borne viral disease of humans that in recent years has become a major international public health concern. Globally, 2.5 billion people live in areas where Dengue viruses can be transmitted. The geographical spread of the mosquito vector, Aedes aegypti, has led to the global resurgence of epidemic Dengue Fever in the past 25 years and an increase in the more severe forms of the disease such as Dengue haemorrhagic fever and Dengue shock syndrome. There is neither medication nor vaccine currently available for Dengue.
