Established in 1969, as the Higher Education Institute Library, subordinated to the "Babeș–Bolyai" University Cluj-Napoca, our institution became a University Library in 1990, the very year when the University of Sibiu was founded. Enriched yearly by aquisitions, exchanges and donations from the cultural institutions as well as from private individuals, the University Library became the "Lucian Blaga" University Library of Sibiu. Being moved in 2008 into a new building, adequate for a modern university library, it is able to offer proper tools for a modern, up to date academic education. The University Library proposes its users more than 650.000 bibliographic units, about 460.000 entries in the on-line catalogue, 15.000 volumes of periodicals, as well as specific activities and services: e. g. digital/online search for information, e-journals, e-books. The library also holds a rich collection of photos and photographic films not yet catalogued. The "Lucian Blaga" University Library of Sibiu has rich experience and competence in international collaboration and projects, as well as in carrying out domestic projects as one can see in the following list: • 2007 - The Library of the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu (ULBS Library) carried out the project "SCRIBe Informatic system of acquisition, processing and visualization of the old books collection" in order to make available the country's cultural heritage for the local community. • 2010 - From this year, the Library of the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu (ULBS Library) organizes The International Conference on Information Science and Information Literacy. The goal of the conference is to provide specialists in librarianship and information science the possibility of presenting research results in an atmosphere of high academic value. The conference is also aiming to promote the university and its library, one of the most modern libraries in the country. • 2011-2012 - The library was a partner in the "EUROPEANA LIBRARIES: Aggregating digital content from Europe's libraries" a project which was conducted over 24 months, together with libraries in several European countries, under the coordination of the National Library of the Netherlands. • 2013-2015 - As a participant in EUROPEANA LIBRARIES, the Library of the "Lucian Blaga" University has been invited - as a provider of digital content and metadata aggregator - to join "Europeana Cloud: Unlocking Europe's Research via The Cloud", the new professional organization in charge with management and development of EUROPEANA digital library. As a result of the above mentioned successful participation, the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu, through the University Library, becomes partner of the network of the most important European research libraries, organized in The Europeana Library (TEL) . • 2013 - The Library of the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu carried out a project which was both new and attractive: Cultural Project ULBS Digital Library Sibiu Smart. The project aimed to build up a digital library for Sibiu, in general, and for the cultural events, in special. For this purpose, a database which includes digital information about old books, images, as well as footage of cultural events was developed. • 2016 - Traditional communication and transportation means from the preservation of heritage to its promotion: digitization between necessity and challenge project. The project was is initiated by the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu and carried out by the University Library, being co-financed by the Local Council and Town Hall through its Cultural Agenda 2016. The project's aim was to present, preserve and put into value traditional means of communication and transportation from Sibiu town. Its final results were: a/ "Digital library" website ; a touring exhibition with digital materials, texts and images processed during the project and b/ an extended study presenting the evolution, history and diversity of means of transportation. Project available at: http://bcu.ulbsibiu.ro/Calatorind_p... • 2016 - Preservation and exploitation of heritage: a history of the means of transportation from Sibiu county reflected in a "Library on wheels" dedicated digital platform and touring exhibition project. The project was initiated by the "Lucian Blaga" University of Sibiu, and carried out by the University Library, being co-financed by the Sibiu County Council through its Cultural Agenda 2016. For this project, the "Lucian Blaga" University built up a special website http://bcu.ulbsibiu.ro/biblioteca_p... as well as a touring exhibition with digital materials, texts and images processed during the project. The project focused on traditional means of transportation powered by human, animal, hydraulic and mechanical force.
The Library is working with a professional scanner BookEye 4 and the scanning soft Batch Scan Wizzard using the open source repository DSpace.
We would like to be partners in a smaller-scale cooperation project. We are particularly interested in projects dealing with photography (its social and cultural history from the 1840s to 1918). Context: Sibiu is a town in nowadays Romania, a multicultural one thanks to its Romanian, German and Hungarian inhabitants. The town has been connected to Europe through the centuries, so it is not surprising that during the fifth decennium of the 19th century several itinerant photographers from central Europe settled for some months or even years in Sibiu. They joined the circle of local painters who also became interested in practicing the new medium. The result of their interference was shifting from painting to photography; consequently the first studios were opened. Between 1854–1918 a rich activity was developed in the field, in the town being active about 37 studios, some for only one or two years, but others for decades. Concerning the techniques and subject matter, the local photographers were synchronized with the central and western European phenomenon, thus they produced portraits, ethnographic pictures, landscapes and cityscapes, photos of historic buildings and monuments, ceremonies, historic events. Unfortunately to date there does not exist a monograph of all these important studios; consequently we would be interested in another kind of approach, namely a digital platform/ site to bring them together, and verify our hypotheses that, similar to nowadays' internet, early photography connected Europe through techniques and subject matter. In the same time we would demonstrate the European dimension and quality of photographs from early Sibiu studios.


In celebration of the make-believe stories we once believed, this photo essay is a tribute to the fibs and fables that taught us how to wonder.
Whatever way you laugh, it's one of the simplest joys. This photo essay explores laughter in its many forms and explains the science of a smile.

Q: Setting Passwordless ssh when a home directory is shared with NFS I have two nodes (master and slave) where the home directory of the master is shared via NFS with the slave node. I have created an ssh key and used 'ssh-copy-id' to add the public key to 'authorized_keys'.
The passwordless ssh works from the slave to the master, but not from the master to slave as I get "agent admitted failure to signing using key".
I think it may be an issue with file permissions but it is tricky since ~/.ssh folder is shared using NFS. Any ideas?

A: If you have SELinux enabled, you may have to enable NFS mounted home directories via:
setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs=true

I had this problem on RHEL, and found the solution in /var/log/messages:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sshd from read access on the file
  authorized_keys.#012#012*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3
  confidence) suggests
  ******************#012#012If you want to allow use to nfs home dirs#012Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the
  'use_nfs_home_dirs' boolean.#012You can read 'None' man page for more
  details.#012Do#012setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1#012#012*****

A: Did you generate the key in master or slave?
Try this on both master and slave:
chmod go-w $HOME $HOME/.ssh
sudo chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo chown 'username' $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

"username" is the name of the user you need to enable ssh.
Try this if the above method fails:
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub USERNAME@HOSTNAME.local

Enter this command from slave.

El Port de Bissau, també conegut com a Porto Pidjiguiti, és el principal port de Guinea Bissau. Està situat al riu Geba, que passa per la capital Bissau. Compta amb dos molls i un embarcador. Els molls del port de Pidjiguiti foren el lloc de la massacre de Pijiguiti el 3 d'agost de 1959. Un el capità del port manté un  llum a la catedral de Bissau.

Descripció
El port està situat al riu Geba. El seu canal té una profunditat d'11 a 12 metres i un moll de càrrega de 7,9 a 9,1 metres. Compta amb instal·lacions de grues de fins a 50 tones. El port de càrrega té dos molls, un moll al sud-oest i un més recent al nord-est. El més recent en forma de "T" té 260 metres de llarg i va ser construït el 1993. El moll de connexió té 260 x 24 metres, i proporciona accés a la riba. Trenta anys abans de 2013, el canal va ser dragat per proporcionar un calat de 12 metres. No obstant això, es diu que l'actual calat és de 7 metres. La torre de la catedral de Bissau allotja una llum que guia els vaixells per l'estuari del riu Geba al Port de Bissau. La llum és mantinguda per la Capitania dos Portos, Serviços de Marinha.

Història
El port té gran importància per a la història i el desenvolupament econòmic de la nació. Donada la importància del port per a l'economia nacional, i les instal·lacions del port anteriorment pobres, en la dècada de 2010 es va produir una gran quantitat d'inversió. Això va facilitar el creixement de la indústria minera al país, amb l'exportació de bauxita. Els plans per desenvolupar el port per donar suport a l'exportació de la bauxita es remunten almenys a 1983, quan es va anunciar un projecte de 47.400.000 $.

Els molls del port de Pijiguiti foren el lloc de la massacre de Pijiguiti, que va tenir lloc el 3 d'agost de 1959, quan la policia va disparar contra els treballadors portuaris, matant 50 i ferint a més de 100 persones. Els estibadors prepararen el seu primer atac, organitzat pel Partit Africà per la Independència de Guinea i Cap Verd (PAIGC), marcant el començament d'una forta resistència contra l'autoritat colonial portuguesa. Un monument d'un gran puny negre commemora la matança. Alguns edificis antics es mantenen al voltant de la zona del port, incloent les casernes militars del  i l'antiga presó.

Operacions portuàries
El port de Bissau va ser dissenyat per a utilitzar 5.000 contenidors a l'any, però avui en serveix gairebé cinc vegades més. Una conseqüència de la seva capacitat sobrecarregada són els alts costos relacionats amb el seu funcionament.

KQ Grounds All Flights For The First Time In 40 Years
By Juma / Published April 3, 2020 | 8:03 am
As the spread of Coronavirus continues to impact negatively on businesses, Kenya Airways, for the first time, in a period of 40 years, has grounded all passenger flights.
The decision was reached by the management of Kenya Airways after many governments around the world imposed total lockdowns to stop the spread of the deadly Coronavirus.
The virus has hit hard on airlines with analysts saying all airlines combined have lost more than three trillion shillings, the national budget of Kenya in a period of one month.
Shareholders in Kenya Airways are still facing a dark future for there is no way the Pride of Africa is ever going to turn into profitability anytime soon.
"For over 40 years, it has been our pride to connect the world to Africa and Africa to the world. For the first time in history, we have put a pause on our flights. But as we do, we can't wait to take to the skies with you again. Thank you for your loyalty. Stay safe," said KQ.
On Thursday, Kenya announced an additional 29 confirmed cases of Coronavirus, taking the total number to 110 with three deaths. It is not known how long the pandemic will last and, therefore, businesses will still face an unknown future.
Kenya Airways has for years been considered as the largest airline in Africa, flying to more destinations around the world. However, things started going South when the airline registered one of the largest losses in the history of Kenya, more than 26 billion shillings.
Plans are underway to nationalize Kenya Airways, meaning taxpayers will take up the burden of cushioning its costs and ensuring the planes remain in the skies no matter the costs.
Employees who work at Kenya Airways have been sent on leave. The majority have taken a pay cut of at least 75 percent with those on contract to go on unpaid leave.

Les Alpes Maritimes
Perched Villages and
Painted Churches
North of Nice and between the Vesubie and Roya Rivers is a stunning area of mountain valleys and formidably rugged mountain country.
You are nearly in Italy here and there is a character noticeably different to the flashy and flamboyant Mediterranean resort towns or the grandiose high Alps to the North. This is largely because, after centuries of bouncing backwards and forward as a political pawn, much of this area only became part of France in 1947 following the end of the Second World War.
The Frontier between France and Italy
The French Département centred upon Nice has a long history of shifting allegiances, understood only after some research into the history of the Kingdom of Piedmont and the part that it played in the unification of Italy.
In brief, we discover that from as early as the 14th century Nice was ceded alternatively to France and the House of Savoie, the rulers of Piedmont. Towards the end of this saga, it was taken by Napoleon but returned to Savoie on his defeat. However Austria, as one of the main beneficiaries of the Congress of Vienna, maintained a strong position of occupation in all of northern Italy.
In the struggle to evict the Austrians in the lead up to unification, Napoleon III agreed to assist King Victor Emmanuel II of Piedmont on condition that Nice be returned to France. This duly happened but without the region of the Haut Roya which was allowed to stay within Piedmont (subsequently Italy) because the royal house had long established hunting grounds there.
The situation was only finally resolved following the second world war when, with Italy defeated, a plebiscite was held and, in accordance with the wishes of the people, the Roya lands were finally reunited with France and the boundary came to its present geographical position along the partage of the waters.
Perched Villages
Perched high up in the hills are picturesque villages, built to withstand attack from the successive invasions. Now safe, some have fallen into disrepair but most have being undergoing the restoration so typical of the most attractive isolated villages throughout France.
You see the villages perchés from far away and wonder how on earth they can be reached. Then you see a road, winding round and round the perched eyrie and if you have the courage you take the nail-biting narrow road and eventually reach the outskirts of a village. You abandon your car and walk up narrow streets, up and down stairs, through archways to more stairs and still upwards till you reach a church at the very top. Our favourites were Tende, Saorge and Peillon.
The churches in these villages are decorated with colourful paintings in the naïve 15th century Italian style. A number of celebrated artists made a living travelling from village to village decorating churches in this most distinctive and exuberant style. The very best, however, is not in a perched village but in the tiny Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Fontaines in an isolated location beside one of the little streams of the Haute Vallée de la Roya.
At the time of our visit, inspections of this little church were being closely monitored because a prized statue had recently been stolen. The custodian of the local tourist office in La Brigue came with us in our car to unlock the church and provided additional information. Now there are established times for visits.
Incredibly detailed and brightly coloured frescoes entirely cover all the walls of the chapel depicting the stories of the life and death of Christ, the resurrection and the Last Judgement. From the times when people didn't read, the graphic lessons in these frescoes are infinitely better than many thousands of words. The rarely awarded three stars of the Michelin green guide reinforce the specialness of this experience.
When it comes to walking, the picturesque small town of Sospel is a good base. A fan of GR's, all deriving from the GR 5 converge here, to finish their journey together to the Mediterranean at Menton. There are opportunities to follow the GR 51, 52 and 52A and there are also many shorter walks some of which have been detailed in a brochure produced by a local walking group. We spent a few days enjoying these walks and also explored an area to the north west where there were 360 degree panoramas of the mountains bordering France with Italy.
To our very great surprise we also came upon the well preserved remains of the fortresses of the Maginot Line built in the aftermath of World War I to protect France from any future invasion by Germany.
This line of defences was constructed between 1929 and 1940 - a massive, state-of-the-art defence system of underground fortresses and tunnels linked by tramways to transport machinery, armaments and supplies. It ran virtually the length of the country.
History tells us that the northern line of defence failed to stop the German invasion along the Belgian frontier in World War II. However, the southern line worked perfectly, crushing an offensive by the Italians attempting to take Nice. An Italian army of 350,000 attacked along a line from the Swiss border to Menton on the Mediterranean but the defences held and the invaders were stopped in their tracks.
Now largely forgotten, the relics of the Maginot line are visited by walkers in the mountains or military historians who love to relive history and climb all over the ruins.
This is a refreshingly different area not greatly visited by tourists. It was therefore even more amazing to see that the wine list in our Sospel hotel included several Australian wines. The patron, it eventuated, was a frequent visitor to Australia and loved the wine so much that he had bought great quantities to cellar and serve in his restaurant.

HOUSTON (AP) Jose Abreu and the World Series champion Astros agreed to a $58.5 million, three-year contract Monday, adding another powerful bat to Houston's lineup.
Abreu, the 2020 AL MVP, gets $19.5 million in each of the next three seasons.
He spent his first nine major league seasons with the Chicago White Sox. The first baseman became a free agent after batting .304 with 15 home runs, 75 RBIs and an .824 OPS this year.
With the Astros, he replaces Yuli Gurriel at first base in a batting order that also features All-Star sluggers Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker.
Gurriel became a free agent after Houston defeated the Philadelphia Phillies this month for its second World Series championship.
The 35-year-old Abreu becomes the biggest free agent to switch teams so far this offseason. Born in Cuba, the three-time All-Star and 2014 AL Rookie of the Year is a .292 career hitter in the majors with 243 homers, 863 RBIs and an .860 OPS.
The Astros announced the signing Monday night. Abreu was scheduled to be introduced in a news conference Tuesday morning at Minute Maid Park.
He would get a $200,000 for winning an MVP award, $175,000 for finishing second in the voting, $150,000 for third, $125,000 for fourth and $100,000 for fifth. Abreu also would get $100,000 for earning World Series MVP and $75,000 for League Championship Series MVP, $75,000 for making the All-Star team and $75,000 for winning a Gold Glove or a Silver Slugger.
Abreu gets a hotel suite on road trips and the right to buy a luxury suite for all Astros home games.

Platform for Business Regulation enters into force, giving online platforms and search engines 12 months to comply
Written on 15 Jul 2019
Platform for Business Regulation enters into force,…
On 11 July 2019, the Platforms for Business Regulation was published in the Official Journal. The new regulation will impose rules on how search engines and what the EU has described as "online intermediation services" interact with businesses that use them to sell products or services.
The regulation is clearly designed to target marketplace platforms but the definition of "online intermediation services" is very wide and, unfortunately, vague so any online business which allows third parties to use their platform will need to consider whether they are (or are likely to be) within the scope of the regulation. This potentially catches app stores; comparison/review sites; hotel booking platforms; social media platforms; marketplaces and a whole host of other platforms that perform similar functions.
If a business is caught or at least may be caught, it is important to carry out a full legal assessment and impact assessment to understand what compliance means in practice. This needs to be done quickly as the regulation comes into full force on 12 July 2020 and any compliance measures will need to be operational before this date.
Even if businesses have considered this question before with reference to some of the draft versions of the regulation, it is worth reviewing this again as there have been some significant changes as a result of the final draft.
In April 2018, as part of its Digital Single Market strategy, the European Commission announced its intention to regulate how online intermediation services and search engines contract with and otherwise work with the businesses which use them to sell their products to consumers. The purpose of the regulation is to ensure that online intermediation services deal fairly and transparently with the businesses which rely on them.
The draft regulation was approved by the European Parliament in April 2019 and the regulation itself was signed on 20 June 2019 by the European Parliament and the European Council. Tech companies will have 12 months from its publication on the Official Journal before the regulation comes into force, meaning that they will need to ensure compliance by 12 July 2020.
Who will be caught?
The regulation catches "online intermediation services" and search engines that target EU consumers. This will therefore include the world giants as well as smaller start-ups. As mentioned above, the definition of online intermediation service is complex and widely drafted, such that it will likely catch review sites, hotels that use booking platforms and social media platforms as well as the more obvious intermediaries which allow business users to sell to consumers such as marketplaces or app stores.
What are the implications of the regulation?
The regulation applies some of the principles of consumer law to the interactions of intermediaries with business users. In particular, terms and conditions and other specifications will need to be delivered in "plain and intelligible" language; and changes to the terms and conditions must be communicated on a durable medium (such as email) and subject to a set notice period.
The regulation also sets out rules around suspending and terminating business users. Except in certain circumstances, businesses cannot terminate the provision of services to a business user without giving them a specific period of notice and an opportunity to appeal.
Service providers also face wide-ranging transparency obligations. This will include transparency about any ranking of products or search results, and differentiated treatment that service providers may give to particular users. Where online intermediaries decide to restrict or suspend a particular business's access to their platform, they must also clearly set out the grounds for that decision.
The regulation also requires online intermediation service providers to provide in their terms and conditions information about the data they hold in relation to business users. These obligations apply equally to personal and non-personal data, meaning that a provider's obligations will in certain respects go beyond those imposed by GDPR.
Where disputes arise between the service providers and the businesses which use the services, the service providers will be obliged to provide an effective redress process, which must include a clear complaints handling system and engage with mediation.
Now that the regulation has been published in the Official Journal, businesses need to determine whether they are (or may be) caught by the regulation. Where a business is caught by the regulation it will need to undertake a comprehensive review of their processes and procedures to ensure they can comply and implement any necessary changes. All of this will need to be achieved before 12 July 2020.

The Bare Metal Cloud: Software-Defined HPC with Real Performance
At the high end of High-Performance Computing, the disruptive arrival of cloud computing has often been met with skepticism by those accustomed to making decisions upon hard evidence - a rare commodity in the nebulous cloud sector.
Conversely, with data centers at a scale that stretches the imagination, hyper-scale cloud infrastructures often look upon conventional HPC infrastructure and its pyrrhic sacrifices for finely-tuned efficiency at the expense of all else, as though they are humouring a bygone era.
Both prejudices seem myopic and ill-informed. The smart and open-minded technologists in both sectors are seeing how technologies from HPC and methodologies from cloud can combine to form a hybrid infrastructure, already proving to be a thoroughbred combination. For example, the recent acquisition by Nvidia of Mellanox for $6.9B was driven by the potential for cloud infrastructure to be improved by HPC best practice.
What of the potential for HPC to be reshaped by cloud? The opportunity for transformation is massive. An early stampede for cloud-hosted HPC created premature solutions that offered the flexibility of cloud, but also with the performance of cloud. The second wave, spear-headed by Verne Global's hpcDIRECT service, truly combines the best of both worlds.
Cloud's Continuum of Convenience
Cloud infrastructure is no single thing. I view it as a range of compromises, each weighed against use case and requirements, to provide the best balance of flexibility versus performance.
At one end of this continuum of convenience is the most flexible forms of virtualisation, in which processor, I/O and network performance are traded for features such as resource over-commitment and live migration.
With increasingly aggressive optimisation, virtualisation's flexibility reduces, but a dramatic boost in performance is achieved. High-performance virtualisation is an adequate balance of compromises for many.
At the furthest extreme of cloud performance, platforms for true HPC, such as hpcDIRECT, require bare metal performance.
In comparison, conventional HPC infrastructure management comprises a narrow range of offerings. The best products available do not approach the flexibility of bare metal cloud, and none could be said to offer more than primitive capabilities for software-defined infrastructure.
The advantages of bare metal cloud infrastructure for true HPC are just as clear as the economics of the cloud model.
Iceland: A Land of Giants
With it's deep roots in Iceland, Verne Global's vision for hpcDIRECT brings together a globally-unique combination: advanced bare metal cloud infrastructure, HPC expertise, low operating costs and renewable energy.
The advanced bare metal cloud provides flexibility through support for a broad range of hardware options, including GPUs. HPC performance is delivered through pioneering integration of Infiniband into the bare metal cloud. Software-defined HPC blueprints integrate components such as BeeGFS and Slurm. Cloud methodologies ensure usability through end-to-end automation and the provision of telemetry, logging and monitoring services - as standard.

Q: AS3 How can I constrain an objects movement within the stage? My object is controlled via mouse movement (for now)... Because of the way it's controlled (object always moves away from cursor), I want to add constraints so that it not only stays within the stage but leaves space between the movement boundaries and the stage edges...
Therefore if the object moves too close to the stage limits, there will be room for the cursor to move it back into the play area.
Currently, I have a rectangle created dynamically within the stage and I was thinking I could constrain movement to within the area of this rectangle, which would leave enough room around the edges... How can I do this?
However, if there's a better/easier way to get the desired results... I'm all ears.
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Shape;

var rectangle:Shape = new Shape;
//initialize "rectangle" shape
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xCCCCCC);
//choose colour for fill - black
rectangle.graphics.drawRect(50, 50, 450, 300);
//draw shape
rectangle.graphics.endFill();
//end fill
addChild(rectangle);
//add "rectangle" to stage

var hero:MovieClip = new hero_mc();
//initialize "hero" object - "hero_mc"

hero.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
hero.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
//set spawn location, centre stage

addChild(hero);
//add "hero" to stage

function cursorHold(evt:Event):void {
    trace("moving");

    var dX:Number = hero.x - stage.mouseX;
    //get adjacent
    var dY:Number = hero.y - stage.mouseY;
    //get opposite

    var r:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(dX, 2) + Math.pow(dY, 2));
    //get hypotenuse

    var angle:Number = Math.acos(dX/r)*180/Math.PI;
    //get angle

    var radians:Number = deg2rad(angle);
    //call conversion function for angle

    var speed:Number = 1.5;
    //set speed

    var xV:Number = Math.cos(radians) * speed;
    //get x velocity
    var yV:Number = Math.sin(radians) * speed;
    //get y velocity

    hero.x += xV;
    //move hero along new x velocity
    if (stage.mouseY > hero.y) {
        hero.y -= yV;
    } else {
        hero.y += yV;
    }
    //move hero along new y velocity
}

function deg2rad(deg:Number):Number {
    return deg * (Math.PI / 180);
    //convert degrees to radians
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, cursorHold, false, 0, true);

Here's an image: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/lWG8uR9MLK32oHXX26JBiLtBdvmiICFuxOQakQESnBY=w552-h402-no
So, "hero_mc" shouldn't be able to move into the white area but it should still move (scrape against the edges with the mouse movement.
Apologies if the code is a mess... I'm pretty new to ActionScript 3.0. Any tips on cleaning it up a bit would also be more than welcome.

A: here are some tips for you..
First, I would add a var for the margin to dynamically draw the active area of the stage and then create the rectangle using that, like this -
// margin of stage
var margin:uint = 20;

rectangle.graphics.drawRect(margin, margin, stage.stageWidth-(2*margin), stage.stageHeight-(2*margin));

Then I would also add a var for getting the center of the hero mc like this -
var heroCenter:Number = hero.width * .5;

And finally a var for setting the yV to += or -= and using an if to set it like this -
var posNeg:Number = 0;
if(stage.mouseY > hero.y){
    posNeg = -1;
} else {
    posNeg = 1;
}

hero.y += yV*posNeg;

Here is the full code. I set it to a speed to 10 to test faster.
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Shape;

// margin of stage
var margin:uint = 20;

var rectangle:Shape = new Shape;
//initialize "rectangle" shape
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xCCCCCC);
//choose colour for fill - black
rectangle.graphics.drawRect(margin, margin, stage.stageWidth-(2*margin), stage.stageHeight-(2*margin));
//draw shape
rectangle.graphics.endFill();
//end fill
addChild(rectangle);
//add "rectangle" to stage

var hero:MovieClip = new hero_mc();
//initialize "hero" object - "hero_mc"

// half hero to make sure hero goes completely to edge of stage without going over or under
// best if the hero widht is an even number.
var heroCenter:Number = hero.width * .5;

hero.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
hero.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;
//set spawn location, centre stage

addChild(hero);
//add "hero" to stage

var posNeg:Number = 0;

function cursorHold(evt:Event):void {
    //trace("moving");

    var dX:Number = hero.x - stage.mouseX;
    //get adjacent
    var dY:Number = hero.y - stage.mouseY;
    //get opposite

    var r:Number = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(dX, 2) + Math.pow(dY, 2));
    //get hypotenuse

    var angle:Number = Math.acos(dX/r)*180/Math.PI;
    //get angle

    var radians:Number = deg2rad(angle);
    //call conversion function for angle

    var speed:Number = 10;
    //set speed

    var xV:Number = Math.cos(radians) * speed;
    //get x velocity
    var yV:Number = Math.sin(radians) * speed;
    //get y velocity

    hero.x += xV;
    if(hero.x < margin + heroCenter){
        hero.x = margin + heroCenter;
    }

    if(hero.x > stage.stageWidth - (margin + heroCenter)){
        hero.x = stage.stageWidth - (margin + heroCenter);
    }

    if(stage.mouseY > hero.y){
        posNeg = -1;
    } else {
        posNeg = 1;
    }

    hero.y += yV*posNeg;
    //move hero along new x velocity
    if (hero.y > stage.stageHeight - (margin + heroCenter)) {
        hero.y = stage.stageHeight - (margin + heroCenter);
    } else if (hero.y < margin + heroCenter) {
        hero.y = margin + heroCenter;
    }
    //move hero along new y velocity
}

function deg2rad(deg:Number):Number {
    return deg * (Math.PI / 180);
    //convert degrees to radians
}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, cursorHold, false, 0, true);


Represents a server side WebSocket.
Accept the WebSocket and terminate the WebSocket handshake.
This method should be called from the websocket handler to explicitely accept the websocker and terminate the WebSocket handshake.
When a Websocket is created it automatically registers an event handler with the event bus - the ID of that handler is given by this method.
Given this ID, a different event loop can send a binary frame to that event handler using the event bus and that buffer will be received by this instance in its own event loop and written to the underlying connection. This allows you to write data to other WebSockets which are owned by different event loops.
Set a binary message handler on the connection. This handler serves a similar purpose to ServerWebSocket#handler except that if a message comes into the socket in multiple frames, the data from the frames will be aggregated into a single buffer before calling the handler (using WebSocketFrame#isFinal to find the boundaries).
Same as WebSocketBase#end but writes some data to the stream before ending.
Set a pong message handler on the connection. This handler will be invoked every time a pong message is received on the server, and can be used by both clients and servers since the RFC 6455 Sections 5.5.2 and 5.5.3 do not specify whether the client or server sends a ping.
Pong frames may be at most 125 bytes (octets).
Pong frames may be received unsolicited.
the WebSocket handshake query string.
Like ServerWebSocket#reject but with a status.
Returns the websocket sub protocol selected by the websocket handshake.
On the server, the value will be null when the handler receives the websocket callback as the handshake will not be completed yet.
When a Websocket is created it automatically registers an event handler with the eventbus, the ID of that handler is given by textHandlerID.
Given this ID, a different event loop can send a text frame to that event handler using the event bus and that buffer will be received by this instance in its own event loop and written to the underlying connection. This allows you to write data to other WebSockets which are owned by different event loops.
Writes a ping to the connection. This will be written in a single frame. Ping frames may be at most 125 bytes (octets).
This method should not be used to write application data and should only be used for implementing a keep alive or to ensure the client is still responsive, see RFC 6455 Section 5.5.2.
There is no pingHandler because RFC 6455 section 5.5.2 clearly states that the only response to a ping is a pong with identical contents.
Writes a pong to the connection. This will be written in a single frame. Pong frames may be at most 125 bytes (octets).
There is no need to manually write a Pong, as the server and client both handle responding to a ping with a pong automatically and this is exposed to users.RFC 6455 Section 5.5.3 states that pongs may be sent unsolicited in order to implement a one way heartbeat.
Writes a (potentially large) piece of text data to the connection. This data might be written as multiple frames if it exceeds the maximum WebSocket frame size.

Something that did surprise me about last weekend's hazardous milonga, is that one dancer, who usually dances larger, more nuevo style steps, was one of the dancers that kept me safest on the floor. I danced with him toward the end of the night when I was already a bit battered and anxious. He was perfectly calm, held me in close embrace and made me feel incredibly safe. He danced to the floor conditions and to the music. Even when I was flinching and "eek!"-ing all over the place (at other dancers, not at anything my partner was doing) - I could actually close my eyes for a few seconds at a time. He didn't bump me into anyone. I never felt anyone's heel hit me.
I will not make assumptions about nuevo dancers.
Sounds more like salon than nuevo.
Londoontango - your comment cracks me up. It's hard to tell if the leaders (by the end of the evening especially) were more concerned about their own calves or mine, injury-wise. I think I should have taken bastet's example regardless - and just sat down to watch the mayhem from the sidelines.
Anonymous: I should have been more clear - my partner was dancing parallel/milonguero (never opening the embrace) while he was dancing with me that night. On other occasions that I've danced with this gentleman, his style ranges from salon to nuevo - depending on music and available room.
That is why I don't dance much when I go to Negracha. It can get a bit hairy out there. When the men start complaining about the floor, I know it's time to stay on the sidelines and wince at the antics and just try and enjoy the music or a little conversation!

In the course of the training, alarming, mobilizing, task-setting, report development and listening were practised. The launch of the training was announced at 07:30 with the alert message "Mobilization is announced". At 09:30, task-setting took place in the Meeting Room for the administrative staff for moving the civil defence system of the Ministry to "high" level standby regime and shifting to "reinforced" working regime. Later, in accordance with Civil Defence Plan and the plan for making the transition from a peaceful situation to war, the participants organised and performed the envisaged measures and submitted reports. At 12:00, listening of the administrative staff took place at the office of the Head of the Civil Defence Command Staff of the Ministry, Deputy Minister of Justice Tigran Khachikyan, during which brief reports submitted to the Head of Civil Defence were read aloud. Issues of providing property and equipment to the Civil Defence command, inter-changeability of military officials, legal relations connected to defence institutions in the course of martial law, as well as evacuation, sheltering, transferring, escorting of prisoners of war and convicts of penitentiary institutions (these issues require specific solutions) were discussed. An agreement was reached to organise working discussions with the Ministry and interested bodies in the nearest future with the view to discussing the above-mentioned issues, and a proposal was made to the Ministry of Emergency Situations to make amendments to the legislation with regard to the submission of new development projects for approval from the Ministry of Emergency Situations from the perspective of civil defence. The issues on providing facilities for separating convicts in case of damage of buildings of penitentiary institutions for keeping convicts were also discussed.

It is important that you run the 1099 Reconciliation report for each brokerage account data file before combining files in TradeLog. Make sure to enter the 1099-B Information requested properly as this will affect reconciliation results.
Brokerage firms don't provide enough tax information to calculate different types of trader tax returns. The IRS requires that brokerage firms provide their clients with an IRS Form 1099-B which offers information to assist with tax reporting. Brokerage firms are known to make errors on their statements, which affects the data on your Form 1099-B. It is essential for traders to keep their own daily trading records, and check these against their broker statements. The IRS continues to acknowledge that taxpayers are responsible for accurate reporting, despite what your broker provides.
TradeLog's 1099-B reconciliation report attempts to reconcile the reported Gross Proceeds with TradeLog reported sales. Typically the sale amount reported by TradeLog should not be less than your broker reports.
TradeLog reports cost basis on Form 8949, Parts 1 and 2, checkboxes A, B, C, D, E, and F.
It is almost impossible for TradeLog reported cost basis to match what your broker reports. This is because your broker does not have to report all cost basis, and they report adjustments for wash sale rules differently than is required for traders. TradeLog generates a statement explaining Form 8949 differences and adjustments with 1099-B, which you may choose to file with your IRS reporting.
Because 1099-B reporting is varied by broker and new problems are being found each year, we have setup a special 1099-B Problems page. Please review that page to understand these problems and for help in reconciling with your brokerage reporting.
If you elected section 475 to use mark to market accounting for your account(s), be aware that 1099-B reconciliation may not be possible. The rules for broker reporting of 1099-B do not require that they account for MTM adjustments at year end. In addition, your broker may include wash sale adjustments and other adjustments that are not required for MTM accounts. If you had short sales the broker will report these on the 1099-B in the year in which they are closed, whereas you may have to report as closed at year-end if held open to the next tax year. These and other situations may make reconciliation difficult. For this reason, some MTM users of TradeLog do not spend too much time trying to reconcile their 1099-B proceeds.
Brokers are not required to apply Section 1259 constructive sale rules when reporting short sales. Therefore, they may report some short sales as closed in a tax year, whereas TradeLog reports that sale in a different tax year. TradeLog attempts to account for these situations in the 1099 Reconciliation report, however some more unique situations may not be accounted for automatically.
Some brokers erroneously report wash sales involving short sales but adjusting the sale proceeds instead of the cost basis for the trade that triggered the wash sale. In such situations, the 1099-B proceeds will likely never reconcile with TradeLog. See our 1099-B Problems page for more details.
Most brokers do not report option sales on the broker 1099, but may report them separately. The TradeLog 1099 Reconciliation report adjusts for option sales.
You may have imported a trade history report that is incomplete or is missing trades. Many times manual adjustment entries made throughout the year will cause inaccurate or duplicate trade records in your broker history report which was imported into TradeLog.
Check your trade history report carefully - are any trades missing? Does your report show any corrective entries (cancellations, etc.) which could result in duplicate trade records? If it does, check the imported trades in your TradeLog data file. Enter any missing trades manually, and delete any duplicate trades. Duplicate trade records can be located by clicking Find, Duplicate Trades.
A cash out merger or cash merger can appear on broker 1099's. This occurs when a company provides a cash distribution through a corporate action instead of shares. As with other corporate actions, the details of this merger are not listed in the trade history nor available for import into our software. There has to be a manual adjustment, or an additional record recorded to properly account for the company's actions.
There may be other adjustments which occured in your account that may be reported as proceeds. These additional adjustments may require that you make corresponding adjustments to your TradeLog data. Some adjustments simply are not tracked in TradeLog and may require separate accounting on Form 8949 or other appropriate tax reporting.
Your 1099-B has mis-reported your sales or the total sales figure is simply wrong - this does happen! Check your broker report carefully against your monthly statements. The Grid Filter Dialog makes it easy to find all your stock sales for the current tax year so you can compare each sale on your 1099 to your sales in TradeLog.
If you see a discrepancy, contact your broker for assistance in amending their 1099.
If you are having difficulty reconciling your broker 1099 with your data file, we recommend that you start from the beginning and import your monthly trade history reports. While users can import yearly statements from certain supported brokers, monthly imports can help a user identify and edit an errant transaction more efficiently.
Create a new data file.
Import your trade history report for the first month (for example, January).
Verify your import: Click the Open Trades toolbar button to launch the Open Positions Window and view a list of open positions as of the last date of import.
Compare the Open Positions Window data with your trade history report. If the lists match, your import is accurate. If you have identified a problem, correct the errant transaction(s).
Move on to the next month. Import the trade history report for the following month (for example, February).
We have found that this monthly approach to importing can break down even the biggest problem into much smaller pieces, and therefore is usually much easier to find and fix than when trying to deal with a whole year's worth of data. This is one situation in which your monthly statements can be invaluable.


Raipur, Sep 27 (IANS) Maruti Clean Coal and Power Ltd, will invest Rs.10.70 billion ($233 million) to set up a 270 MW thermal power plant in the coal-abundant northeast region of Chhattisgarh, Industry Minister Rajesh Munat said here Wednesday.
'Maruti Clean Coal and Power signed a memorandum of understandings (MoU) with the Chhattisgarh government late Tuesday under which the private company will invest Rs.10.70 billion for a 270 MW thermal power plant to be set up in Korba district,' he said.
Under the MoU, the company will provide five percent of its total power generation to the state government on variable cost while the government will have a right to purchase power from the plant up to 30 percent of the total production.
'The company will soon table the feasibility report to the state government for a formal approval for the plant build-up process. It will also provide jobs to local people in the plant in accordance with our industrial policy,' the minister said.
Chhattisgarh's current power production capacity is 1,405 MW including 1,280 MW from thermal plants and 125 MW from hydel plants.
The state, having the country's 18 percent coal deposits mainly in its northeast regions, plans to become India's power hub by 2011 with an additional generation capacity of 12,000 MW as several public and private players have been lining up large-scale investments.

Cher Caps Off New York City's Gay Pride Week
Follow Cher
Picture: Cher - Cher makes an appearance at the Marquee Nightclub for the grand opening of 'Q Thursdays' alongside DJ Johnny Dynell - New York, NY,...
Cher supported activists in their fight for equality by performing a special concert in New York City on Sunday (30Jun13) to mark the end of Gay Pride Week.
Officials at the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and overturned California's Proposition 8 last week (26Jun13), forcing the government to provide equal benefits rights to same-sex spouses across the nation and allow gay marriages to resume in the West Coast state.
To celebrate the landmark rulings, Cher, the mother of transgender reality star Chaz Bono, headlined Manhattan's Dance on the Pier bash, where she delighted concertgoers by performing hits like Believe and Strong Enough.
The Grammy winner had a blast at the event and she insists it was important to show her support for her gay fans, as well as her son, who recently underwent gender reassignment surgery to become a man.
During an interview with U.S. breakfast show Today on Monday (01Jul13), the 67 year old, who has been open about her struggles to accept her daughter's transformation, said, "It's hard for like 40-something years to have this little girl, and... you get used to it... and then all of the sudden (you have a son). I screw up on my pronouns so often, but Chaz kind of cuts me some slack. I'm crazy about him. We are getting along better now... than ever."

Blackburn Triplane Aircraft Information
Blackburn Triplane
Triplane
National origin: United Kingdom
Manufacturer: Blackburn
Designed by: Harris Booth
First flight: 1917
Number built: 1
The Blackburn Triplane was a single-engine pusher single-seater, designed specifically to attack Zeppelins. It flew in 1917, but was not successful.
The Triplane was the third unsuccessful attempt at an anti-Zeppelin fighter that involved Blackburn. The first was Blackburn's own Twin Blackburn and the second the AD Scout, Blackburn building two of the four machines of this type to an Air Department of the Admiralty design. In 1916, the Scout's designer, Harris Booth moved to Blackburn where he created a heavily-revised aircraft, the Triplane.
The layout of both Scout and Triplane was determined largely by the Admiralty requirement to carry a quick-firing, recoilless Davis gun that used 2 lb (1 kg) shells. At the time, there was no way of synchronising such a weapon with the propeller, or of mounting it elsewhere than the fuselage, so a pusher configuration was necessary, the pilot sitting in a nacelle with the gun in its nose.
In order to make the aircraft more manoeuvrable and in particular to increase its roll rate, a triplane configuration was chosen. This provided about the same total wing area as that of the biplane Scout with a lower moment of inertia about the roll axis. The Triplane had single-bay wings with heavy stagger and carrying six ailerons. The lower wing was close to the ground so two underwing skids were added below the interplane struts. The mid-line of the nacelle, with the engine at its rear, was on the centre plane, giving the pilot a slightly less good view than from the Scout.
Four parallel tail booms ran aft, two from the mid-span of the upper wing and the others from the lower wing. These four members carried the tail. The tailplane, mounted on the upper booms and bearing a full-width elevator, had a span of 18 ft 10 in (5.74 m), no less than 78% of the wingspan. A pair of fin and rudders joined the upper and lower booms, a height of about 7 ft 6 in (2.3 m). The "reversed" undercarriage of the Scout was abandoned and the main wheels were mounted on a single axle supported by two pairs of struts to the nacelle. Though photographs show the gun port, the gun itself was probably never fitted.
The Triplane first flew with a 110 hp (80 kW) Clerget rotary engine driving a four-blade, 8 ft (2.46 m) diameter airscrew, then later with a 100 hp (75 kW) Gnome with a two-blade propeller.
Only one was built. It was accepted by the Admiralty on 20 February 1917, but was rapidly found wanting like the Scout before it. It was struck off charge just a month later, the only Blackburn triplane and the last of their attempts to build an anti-Zeppelin fighter.

Some cats usually go through rough patches in their lives. One of such cats is Sylvester. Sylvester had spent most of his life being lonely underneath the stairs in a lonely house in Ontario. Sylvester was really in a pathetic condition. He was covered in fleas and sores. He also had frayed ears. His ears were filled with mites.
Guess what the reason was? Controlling the population of rats in the Cornwall house. Unfortunately, the cat was in no position to chase rats. He was very cold, hungry and tired. When the rescuer saw the cat, he knew immediately that he had to rescue the cat. He knew that he had to get Sylvester out of the situation immediately. He took the cat to the Country Cat Sanctuary.
The staff at the sanctuary received Sylvester well and took good care of them. The cat's ear mites disappeared in no time. Soon, Sylvester's health was in top condition. He started gaining weight. When the Country Cat Sanctuary posted Sylvester's story on their Facebook, it quickly went viral.
Poor Sylvester needed help and we're so thrilled that there were good people out there that were prepared to do so. Such a beautiful cat!!! Read our next story here.


Summary: Learn how to wire a plug and change a fuse.
Plugs will be fitted with either a 13amp or 3amp fuse depending on the appliance, so take the old fuse with you when you need to buy replacements. If you have lost the old fuse, check the underside of the appliance for its wattage. Anything over 700W will require a 13amp fuse.
Unplug the appliance and unscrew the plug cover.
Replace the fuse cartridge inserted.
If the plug on your appliance is a one-piece moulded unit, you will have to cut the flex and replace the entire plug, following the re-wiring instructions below.
Prepare the flex for connection by stripping about 40mm (1 1/2in) from the outer PVC protective covering at the end of the flex using a sharp knife. Avoid cutting or nicking the insulation on the colour-coded cores and separate the colour-coded conductors.
The cores are connected to the flex connector by screw-down terminals. About 15mm (1/2in) of the colour-coded insulation needs to be stripped from each of the cores using wire strippers. With the coloured insulation removed, twist the strands of wire together.
Unscrew the cover of the plug.
Swing the grip that secures the cable to one side.
Connect the cores to their terminals in the plug. Most plugs come with a picture template to illustrate the connections: blue to Neutral, brown to Live and green-and-yellow to Earth.
Move the grip back into place to secure the flex and refit the plug cover, ensuring it is firmly screwed together.
Swing the grip that secures the cable to one side and connect the cores to their terminals in the plug.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Albuquerque Police Department is one step closer to getting a new crime-fighting tool after members of the city's Finance and Government Operations Committee on Monday made a "do pass" recommendation that the City Council appropriate $5.2 million to purchase a new state-of-the-art helicopter.
The recommendation vote was 4-1 with Councilors Ken Sanchez, Brad Winter, Don Harris and Cynthia Borrego voting for the measure. Councilor Diane Gibson voted in opposition to the recommendation.
Not all were on board, however, with councilors expressing concern about maintenance and equipment costs as well as the procurement process for selecting the right aircraft for Albuquerque's high altitude and hot summer weather.
APD pilot Sgt. Will Taylor and Chief of Staff John Ross told councilors that equipment costs were part of the price tag, with fewer maintenance required on a new bird with new equipment and parts, at least for the first couple of years.
Ross told councilors the department would undertake the usual bidding process for the new helicopter with specific criteria to fit Albuquerque's weather and altitude, although he did state that the department was interested in acquiring an Airbus H125 craft.
Winter, who voted for the recommendation, sounded like he was not entirely convinced on the idea of spending millions for a new bird.
APD currently owns and flies a 17-year-old Eurocopter EC120B that department officials have said is not well suited for full operation anymore, especially during the warmer months.
Department officials have also said a new, more reliable aircraft is needed to find and arrest criminals in a safer manner than pursuit using police vehicles.
The committee also voted to recommend the council appropriate $3 million, which would allow the police department to seat a lateral class of 40 officers that would graduate in January.
Sanchez told the Journal that funding for the helicopter and for lateral class training would come from surplus funds for the city's fiscal 2018 general fund.
Committee members also gave their blessing for an incentive package for TaskUs, which includes $2 million from the state's Local Economic Development Act fund, $1 million from the city's closing fund and an industrial revenue bond package that functions as a property tax break.
TaskUs company officials recently announced they will open an office in Downtown Albuquerque and hire 695 employees over five years.
The City Council is expected to consider the measures during an upcoming meeting.
