The Saturday morning in Valdaj was once again gray. To our surprise the bikes were still there. Still, even when we were loading the bikes, we were instructed to take them to guarded parking area (stajanka). Despite of our plans, we decided to push on one more day and have a look a Tver. Before leaving I also adjusted the valve clearance in my Urals left cylider which had made knocking sound.
We also stopped by the local Internet club to try to upload some pictures. The square where we had walked in solitude the previous evening in look for food was crowded with people. We left our bikes by the market place and Bergie went to check out the Internet club. In the meanwhile a crowd gathered around our bikes and old men came to talk with me about the them. As uploading the pics wasn't possible we turned our bikes toward Tver and opened the throttle. Again, when driving in the city I noticed that that one of the cyliders was't functioning properly, but once we got to the highway it worked normally.
The ride to Tver was uneventful. Twice we had to wear our rain suits, but that was it. Tver was a surprisingly big city with dolby cinema theater and everything. We checked in to hotel Centralnaja - another legacy of the soviet times - and went to find some beer and walk around the city. At that time Bergie noticed that almost all of the pictures waiting to be uploaded - about 20 of them, covering our time in Novgorod and Valdaj - were broken. We bought a new Compact Flash card, ate our first pizzas on the trip and turned in.
Sunday morning wasn't any different from the ones earlier. We left the town with plans to drive as long as we feel like - or goal was to be in Pskov near Estonian border in two or three days. Slowly the sky got brighter and after an hour or so we even saw sun shining every once in a while. The roads were boringly straight with nothing but fields as far as the eye can see on both sides. At least there were small villages here and there to cheer up the scenery. The asphalt was in some parts new and in good shape but mostly it was bumpy and worn out by the countless trucks.
Some 30 km before Veliki Luki - where we had decided to stay for a night - we were stopped by the milizia for the first time. In Russia there are these milizia checkpoints on the border of the cities and this was one of them. Apparently we hadn't done anything wrong and the officials were simply bored as they were only interested in our bikes and how fast do they go. After answering their questions we were asked to show and accelerate all we could. A stupified smile on our faces we did as asked.
In Veliki Luki we checked in to a hotel which from the outside did't look like much but turned out to be pretty nice from the inside. After a quick shower we decided to go search for some food. Not more that two steps after we had stepped out from our room, our administrator - as they call them here - asked if we'd like something to eat. We gave a positive answer and were directed to a small empty dining room. We sat down and a moment later we were brought a can of every beer they had and some juice and water. We picked the beer of our choice. Another moment later, without being asked what we'd like to eat, we were brought some chicken salad as the appetizer. While eating the salad we could hear microwave oven being used and shortly after that we were brought a simple but tasty meal of rice and pork in mushroom and onion dressing. After a walk in the city and a few beers it was time to get a taxi back to the hotel and get some rest for the ride to Pskov the next day.

In today's Whiteboard Wednesday, Bill Bradley, Product Marketing Manager at Rapid7, will discuss the topic, "How to Save 140 Hours a Month on Vulnerability Management".
The truth is that most security teams are overworked and under staffed, making it very tough for a team to follow through with their vulnerability management programs on a monthly basis. Chances are, you feel the same pain in your day job.
Watch this video to learn how you can take advantage of some of the great technology out there that can cut the time you spend on vulnerability management down significantly and allow you to focus on the highest priority risk in your environment.
Hi. Bill Bradley with the Rapid7 Product Marketing Team for today's White Board Wednesday. We are going to talk about how you can help your organization save 140 hours of your vulnerability management program on a monthly basis. We are going to walk thru a couple scenarios here.
First, today as it is in many organizations what the timeline is to go thru a traditional scan cycle. Then we are going to counter that with an example a couple best practices in the vulnerability management space that can help you save both time and money for your team.
We are going to start with the midsize organizations. Say they have about 6000 IP addresses out there. You perform your vulnerabilities scan, not uncommon to see 2,000 vulnerabilities. From there using a high low scoring approach across the industry you may see 400 high priority vulnerabilities out there. Still a large task to handle. Looking at maybe 5 minutes to do the investigation and then 20 minutes for the remediation. So 25 minutes for each one of those times 400 gets you 166 hours to go thru that full vulnerability assessment and remediation process. Commonly an IT professional may have $50.00 per hour labor rate taking that hourly times $50 get you about $8,000 in operational expense that the organization must bear on a monthly basis to perform this vulnerability management.
Let's counter that with the example that uses the same beginning points but adds a few different best practices into vulnerability management program that can help significantly reduce the time and money here. So again 6,000 IP's, 2,000 vulnerabilities, we'll stay with that 400 high priority vulnerabilities. Let's look at a more granular scoring approach that just that high, medium, low that takes other aspects into account. Take that 400. May knock it down and get 200 vulnerabilities there. Still a large task for many organizations to thru and remediate those 200. So what do you do next?
There are options such as a penetration testing and a vulnerability validation tool that can look at those 200 and see out in the market place what type of exploits, what type of malware, what type of kits are out there that people can buy or download to attack your organization. Using a tool like that you can take that 200 and you can bring it down to 65 vulnerabilities out there. A far more manageable task for your organization.
From there, using that same approximately 25 minute scan cycle, looking at about 26 hours to do that level of work there. So three days versus the multiple weeks in the other example. From a cost perspective, 26 hours again at that same $50 rate is $1300 in operational expense for your organization. So, you're looking at 140 hours saved, $5700 saved for your team. As well as get yourself a more secure organization by having a shorter cycle and a shorter time line that those vulnerabilities exist on your network.
So to recap a couple tools that can be used such as better prioritization and vulnerability validation to help save time money for your organization. Thank you for joining us at Whiteboard Wednesday. We look forward to seeing you again next week.

Statutory Instruments: unlocking democracy
Posted by: Edward McCarthy, Posted on: 16 August 2016 - Categories: Collaboration culture, Continuous iteration, Focus on core work, parliament.uk
Back in March, I was part of the House of Lords contingent at the Rapid Start event. The key theme there was 'Unlocking democracy for all' – and, in a small but significant way, our prototype for sprints #5 and #6 delivered that aim by making it as easy for anyone to follow statutory instruments (of which Parliament considers around 1,000 per year) as for bills (around 20 per year).
Statutory instruments (SIs) are also known as secondary, delegated or subordinate legislation. They are made by ministers under the provisions of an existing Act. Many Acts contain provisions for secondary legislation, and they are used for purposes as varied as proscribing new terrorist groups, creating detailed regulations too complex to be in the Act itself, and changing rates and charges (for instance court fees). Most secondary legislation is never considered by Parliament, but some are subject to Parliamentary veto (the negative procedure) or require Parliament's consent for them (the affirmative procedure). There are many variations on both procedures, and the language used is arcane even by Parliamentary standards – the veto motion is a 'prayer', for example.
The identification of the user need for SIs came not from the global website research, but from the relevant offices in the House of Commons and House of Lords. These offices are often asked for very basic information around SIs – for instance dates, type and committee membership. The information is already available online, but is spread around many pages which are essentially just electronic versions of the business papers of each House. This makes it hard to discover and follow – you would need specialist knowledge just to understand the current status of an SI. We therefore decided to build a prototype to enable anyone to follow the progress of an SI through Parliament.
The team started with a crash course in SI procedure, with presentations from staff of the Journal Office in the Commons and Legislation Office in the Lords. We also secured the valuable support of Katya Cassidy from the Commons for the duration of the SI work. Discovery interviews were conducted with civil servants and researchers who regularly work with SIs.
For this prototype we took an individual approach to sketching. Team members worked on their own ideas then came together to identify the best features and agree on a single design. Almost all the sketches included a timeline element, so this was prominent in our first (mobile) prototype:
We took this prototype out to guerrilla test with staff. Compared to the prototype for Members and Issues, it was interesting to see how users reacted differently to the prototype being presented on screen rather than on paper. Given the complexity of the Parliamentary language in this area, we decided to speak to the Digital Service's Content Team to ensure the page was comprehensible. We used all of this feedback as we moved the static prototype into a responsive HTML page:
The team fully recognised that an SI page would be a fairly niche product, so allowed plenty of time to recruit of specialist users to conduct the next round of testing. We were fortunate to find lobbyists, campaigners and some of DECC's Parliament team to test with, and their feedback was immensely useful:
We used red and green dots in the timeline to indicate proceedings in the House of Lords and House of Commons. While this system is widely known within Parliament, those outside (even those who work closely with us) found it confusing - for example, thinking it meant stop/go. And of course, speaking as one of the 2.7 million Britons with colour vision deficiency, it's not great from an accessibility perspective either!
People liked the uncluttered timeline, but also wanted more information on the various stages (e.g. Delegated Legislation Committee) to be present on the page.
It wasn't clear that once most affirmative SIs have completed the Parliamentary process they still need to be signed by the minister before coming into force.
We have addressed these issues in a further iteration of the prototype, and have left this project ready to be picked up again in the future.

iRV2 Forums - Should choosing the right Cummins on its HP/Torque Rating?
Should choosing the right Cummins on its HP/Torque Rating?
We've been looking at preowned Class A motorhomes as of late, and there seems to be a host of different engines. Most show a horsepower rating, and of course each will also have different torque ratings.
I thought I'd see if those of you that bought 'preowned' if the engine was a large consideration when you chose the rig you did? I'll be towing, either an enclosed trailer, or toad for the majority of the time, and I'm not one to like holding up traffic on the long mountainous byways, there again, like everyone else, I'll work at trying to get the best fuel milage possible as well, as I look at it as a challenge more than anything.
I do realize the larger Cummin's engines, tend to be in the longer wheelbase Class A's (usually over 40') but not always. Was there a specific year where different HP rated Class A's changed their specs? Another consideration I suppose for some, is where the EPA emissions systems where put on, perhaps lowering HP ratings somewhat?
Would like to learn as much as I can, with regard to the engine's, if you've come to the conclusion that a specific HP is really not adequate for when towing (I'll often be in mountain regions)?
Just by what we've looked at in the Tiffin/Nemar line, 2006 is the lowest year of unit we'd drop to, and possibly up to 2010.
Have to get out and head to our local dealer and test drive different lengths. I'm told the 37' is different than the 40'..and 40+ w/tag is different again, and the sales person we talked to was more than willing to get out and try different units.
Thanks in advance, on anything you can suggest/advise or comment on!
ISB is the smaller engine. Others such as ISC and ISL, etc. are larger engine. When recently searching for a used DP I did not want a ISB.
Most of the large Cummins engines will have both a higher HP and higher torque as it's hard to have one without the other.
On some of the posts regarding engines a good rule of thumb is 1 HP per 100 lbs of total weight. So if you have a 36K rig you would need 360 HP, if the ratio is greater then that you good to go.
HP/TQ would not have been my consideration before I owned my first MH. It is now. 505 HP with 1550 TQ is nice. More could only be nicer!
floor plan was the first consideration since I assumed the ISL's 425 hp and 1250 lbft torque would do what I needed... and it has.
Even with a bad fuel filter going through the Appalachians it still did fine as long as it wasn't coughing from the fuel filter, got it changed and "more better" !
I have a 31,000lb motorhome eith a CAT 330 (330hp and 850ft/lbs torque) it is OK but we absolutely slow down (too much for my taste) climbing grades and it is worse when towing our 4500lb Jeep. It may meet minimum criteria of 1hp/100lbs but I would look for more. In a used MH for me to consider purchase, condition and maintenace are #1, Floor plan is probably #2 but HP and Torque are now how I decide which Coaches to decide to investigate condition, maintenance and Floorplan now that I have experience.
I am not a class A or a Cummins owner, but I just wanted to chime in and agree with others that you are on the right track. I think it is smart to move hp and torque to the top or near the top of the list. Especially when you plan to tow and plan to visit some mountainous areas.
The big 600hp Cummins would be a nice engine to have, but I don't know if they were up to that rating in the year range you are considering.
When shopping, be sure to check the engine specs yourself. When I was shopping previously owned rigs, I ran across a few sellers who guessed at the engine specs instead of confirming them.
I don't think anyone comes to regret purchasing too much power. Best of luck with your search.
Yes, yes and yes. Based on your user name, you are familiar with light duty diesels (power stroke). I had a 7.3, 6.0, and 6.4. When looking for my DP I targeted mid range coaches with 400HP+ and pre 2007 EPA emissions.
I understand the positives of cleaner technology in EPA 2007 and 2010 requirements, however after seeing the impact of both stages of EPA emissions requirements on LDT diesels, and where my budget limited me - my decision led me to the 400ISL Cummins. Cummins went to a 425HP with the 2007 EPA, and I believe the extra 25HP was lost in EGR and DPF (IMHO).
I ended up with a 2007 37 foot tag axle, with 2006 Cummins 400ISL (Engine build date Dec 2006), no EGR, SCR, or DPF, or DEF (2010).
I tow a 2007 Jeep, 4,600 lbs. I do slow down up long grades, but I downshift and drive it in the power band.
Engine was important to me; second only to manufacturer (Country Coach, Travel Supreme, higher model Monaco).
I'm in the "more is better" school of motorhome horsepower/torque, but it has never been a big factor in in our buying criteria. Our requirement is that it has to be "enough", which is about 100 lbs/hp. Anything better than that (less weight/hp) we would consider a small plus, but no more important than dozens of other factors. Our main criteria involve livability and reliability, not highway performance.
We bought floorplan, basement storage, Freightliner, Cummins, Alison and Winnebago. Because this floorplan was everything we wanted and the Winne products seem to have a good reputation we bought. I thought loosing 20hp would be noticed but this is not the case. This 380hp ISC is all that the old 400hp ISC was and more. The drivetrain is set up better from the factory. The DEF system increased the engine output from 360 to 380 for some reason. We do 6% grades very well, passing many commercial truckers along the way.
Not to sound like a jerk, just a point of truth, are you buying a racer or a vacation home? I agree. Having a reliable, adequate powertrain is essential. But, what you consider adequate may be overkill for some folks.
We came up I-5 from California to Oregon through 2 6% grade passes up to 7 miles long. I never considered that we had a problem with speed. We couldn't do 55mph (towing limit) but we weren't far below it. And, on the open road we get 9 to 11 mpg with not much trouble. With all the mountain climbs on I-5 and running the generator on our overnight truckstop, we used about 68 gal in ~485 miles of mixed driving.
Keep us posted on your progress. Happy trails.
Normally the manufacturer mates an appropriate engine to an appropriate coach. The only exception might be on entry level units, or smaller units trying to hold down expenses, that might have the small Cummins. You'll find most mid and higher lever MHs will have enough engine to do the job.
Never saw a Cummins ISC with a 400 ho rating. What coach was it in?
HP is overrated. Go for the bigger torque. There are 400 HP w 800 FP and there are 400 HP with 1250 FP.
Or maybe not if the engine manufacturer didn't do due diligence when designing/testing their engine!


Ride The Highlands | The people of the Highlands.
Ontario's Highlands is an eclectic mix of 'salt of the earth' folk who all settled here for the same reason… to make a better life for themselves and their families in this wildly-rugged and beautiful part of Canada. Some were loggers, miners, fur traders. All were hard working determined people. They are proud to share what their ancestors and they have worked so hard to create and maintain.
Ontario's Highlands was once one of the most diverse regions in all of Canada. People came from France, Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Poland.
For riders, this means that around every bend, hill and corner, there are fun places to stop, eat and chat with locals.

Last month at the midwest regional I heard a lot of people recommend Ubiquiti DVRs and Cameras as an upgrade to our current situation. We are looking to add a few new camera locations and are considering a Ubiquiti Unifi DVR that can expand for many more cameras (30+) as we slowly replace our current Panasonic dinosaurs.
For those that are using Ubiquiti DVRs, can you send me a link to the one you are using? As well as the cameras? Are all of the cameras pretty much compatible? I found this already: Ubiquiti Networks UniFi UVC-NVR with 2TB HDD. We don't need the latest and greatest but is that the best option?
Do all of the cameras have to be on the same switch? Or can the DVR find other Ubiquiti cameras on the network as long as they are on the same VLAN? Also, can the switches be non-Unifi?
If anyone has a contact for a re-seller (that would know more on this) or any other general advice on the topic that would be much appreciated.
Mark, the company I work for, Ciber, resells Ubiquiti. I would be happy to provide a quote!
For the DVR, you can either use the Ubiquiti UVC-NVR-2TB appliance for an easy solution, or you can build your own using their free DVR software. For example, they have an Ubuntu 64-bit version that you could install onto virtual machine running Ubuntu, and that way you could control the number of vCPUs, RAM, and storage.
Using the NVR appliance, you could also attach external USB 3.0 storage, or iSCSI NAS for more space. But with their appliance, I would keep the number of cameras down to no more than 20-30 for best results. With the VM, scaling just depends upon the resources you provide to the VM.
The cameras do not have to be on the same switch, nor same subnet. Switches can be any brand. You just have to tell each camera the IP address of the DVR. You can find each camera via your DHCP server.
Thanks Tom! That is very helpful. I think building our own would be the way to go.
I will send you an email and perhaps we could talk about the different types of cameras.
To add to what Tom pointed out, this also depends somewhat on whether or not all the cameras are recording at the same time. With a church it's pretty likely with all the movement on a Sunday that all the cameras can get engaged, but if you have 5 cameras out on the back field or in areas with relatively low traffic then it's less of an issue. Personally, I'm a fan of the Unifi switches (and in some cases the Edgeswitch line), I had a church get struck by lightning last week and while it murdered just about every ethernet port and pots line on everything else, the 4 USW-24-250W in the building were all okay initially, although one started boot looping a few days later.
I'm a fan of the Ubiquity cameras and DVRs - I have four systems at different locations but you should be aware that Unifi NVR is end of life. It will get bug fixes but no new major features. And the timeline feature on it is broken and won't be fixed. It couldn't be fixed with the architecture they used in Unifi video so they rewrote the NVR and the new version is Unifi Protect. And the timeline scrolls like butter, even over mobile cellular connections. Better than my Nest doorbell camera from Nest's cloud even.
Unifi Protect is not yet feature complete with Unifi Video, but new features are being added at a steady pace so that doesn't concern me so much. The potential sticking point for some people, especially those used to building their own NVRs is for now Protect doesn't support that - it only runs on Unifi NVR hardware (Cloud Key Plus at the moment with rumors of more and bigger boxes coming) and they are not likely to ever support DIY NVRs with Protect in the future.
At first I was a little miffed over this, but after seeing how well the Cloud Key Plus works and for $200 if they can maintain that value proposition with larger appliances then frankly building your own NVR wouldn't be worth the hassle. It remains to be seen, but I'm hopeful - three of my sites fit with the CK+ and one site I have a custom built NVR that I would love to move to a larger Protect NVR, if UBNT preserves the price/performance they established with the CK+. The UAS was way too expensive with much too limited storage for an NVR, for example.
So if you need 20 cameras or less, even if you start with Unifi Video you can always migrate to Protect later. If I needed 30 cameras today I'd be wary of investing in Unifi Video cameras today - there is some potential risk since the additional Protect NVRs are as of yet unannounced, let alone shipping. UBNT has changed direction on products in the past (like the USG XG). I don't think that's going to happen here - they seem extremely committed to making the video camera thing work (this is the third rewrite of the NVR in 7 years - if they weren't serious they wouldn't have bothered with Protect) but unless it's shipping there's no guarantee.
Thanks for the heads up on Unifi Protect. A little after I posted this a year ago I went the custom NVR route and we have about 20 cameras on there now. It works great and we are happy with it.
Do you think the G3 Cameras will be compatible with the new Protect NVRs?
Generation 2 cameras work too. I have a G2 mini (the wifi camera) at home watching my front door and it works great with Protect. Only the original AirVision generation 1 cameras won't work with Unifi Video or Protect - and if you had any, hopefully you were able to take advantage of the trade in program a year or so back before it ended.
Depending on your needs and what you are doing, the Cloud Key Plus could probably handle more than 20 cameras, but that's their official support statement. I do hope they deliver larger appliances with the same price/performance ratio - it will make Protect a killer and pretty unique solution from ease of use and overall cost.


Bird Box, a post-apocalyptic psychological thriller on Netflix, has been the talk of the town recently, with 45 million accounts watching it on its first week alone.
Based on the novel by Josh Malerman, Bird Box tells the story of Malorie, played by Sandra Bullock, and her kids, Boy and Girl, as they travel by rowboat to get to safety five years after supernatural entities began causing mass suicide around the world. In this movie, opening one's eyes is a matter of life or death. In order to survive, the characters need to cover windows with newspapers, wear blindfolds, and go through different tasks blindly.
While it makes for a good weekend movie, Bird Box has hidden nuggets of wisdom that can be useful, whether you're starting a business or already running one. Warning: spoilers ahead, so if you haven't seen the film yet, better get to it before reading this.
Persevere and be ready for the challenging journey. In the course of their 42-hour journey, Malorie and the kids had to fight off an insane stranger, thereby losing their supplies.
Choosing to start a business is similar to what the trio had to endure on the river—there are days when you would question your decisions, hurdle one problem after another, and deal with difficult people. The secret to triumphing over these obstacles? Your resolve to succeed and how you handle the challenges that come your way. Never stop learning, and keep your eyes peeled for improvements you can work on.
Take risks. As the world falls into chaos, the characters had to take risks in order to survive. Before the river journey, they had to make a desperate run to the supermarket to gather food and supplies with only blindfolds as protection. They had to painstakingly weigh every action and consider its consequences. Similarly, in running a business, you need to understand the risks you're taking, know the downside of every scenario, and prepare for the worst outcome.
Be careful who you listen to. There's a part in the movie where the creatures mimic the voices of Malorie's loved ones to get her to remove her blindfold. In running a business, while it helps to have a group you can count on for words of encouragement and tips, keep in mind that you don't always have to listen to everything they say. Take each tip with a grain of salt—what works for one may not necessarily work for you. Doing proper research and studying all possible consequences can help you prepare a concrete plan of action.
Listen to your surroundings. To survive the new world, the characters had to rely on their sense of hearing: the panicking sound of birds warn the survivors that the creatures are near. As with running a business, you have to listen and understand what your clients need so you can make informed decisions along the way.
Sometimes, sacrifices are necessary to reach long-term goals—in business or in real life. There are times when you are forced to give up time meant for family or hobbies you enjoy to make sure the business runs smoothly. Don't let this dampen your spirits as growing pains are part of the journey.
Keep your "blindfolds" on.Here's a pop quiz: how many times did Malorie remind her kids not to take off their blindfolds? We lost count, too! To be able to get to safety, Malorie was steadfast when it comes to keeping their blindfolds on even if there were times when taking them off was the easier choice.
The same thing applies when running a business: you have to stick to the core values you've established from the beginning. Your brand's mission and vision serve as the backbone of your company—the "why" in doing your business. Staying true to those values, even if certain situations ask you to compromise, will put things in perspective especially when making big decisions.
So be like Malorie—stay focused and never lose sight of your goal. And remember: never take off that "blindfold," even if there's a crazy man tempting you to do otherwise.

Need a battery to power your Fat Shark or Skyzone Goggles? Well look no more.
If you are one of the many flyers who fly on Spektrum, JR, or any of the other radios other than Futaba, then you may not know that it's not easy to power your goggles from your radio. So in that case, one of these batteries is what you need.
Designed to fit right in the Fat Shark battery strap pocket, this 1000mAh battery will power your goggles nicely. It's a 2S and comes complete with a 2.1mm Barrel Connector for the Fat Shark goggles.
These are great, bought a couple to use with my Attitude goggles, they fit perfectly into the loop on the strap and Mongrel Gear also have all the right connections already fitted to the battery to connect directly to your goggles. Great work Mongrel Gear !!


Risotto is one of those dishes that many of us have reserved for dining out because it requires a bit too much attention. But what if I told you that this Instant Pot Risotto makes the classic creamy Italian rice dish a weeknight dinner option? Read on for the recipe and a few details.
This Instant Pot Risotto is a game changer! Making risotto on the stovetop is not hard at all, but it is time-consuming. It requires stirring constantly, which can be its own kind of therapy, but one that's not usually good for a weeknight.
But you can easily make Instant Pot Risotto!
The version I share here doesn't use wine. I love adding wine when I have it, but it's not something I keep on hand so I like having the option to not need it.
No Recipe Required + Simple Side Dish(es) = Easy Dinner!
Sometimes you just want to cook without having to put a lot of thought into it. Or any thought into it.
A while back I wrote a series on No Recipe Required ideas. Simple things to do with chicken, fish, beef or ground beef. I may add to this series in the future and cover smoked sausage, ham, pork chops, etc. But for now, this seems like a good time to show off these posts again. Sometimes the good stuff gets buried on the blog.
And because side dishes can get monotonous sometimes, here are 32 simple ideas to pair with the easy meals above.
What are your favorite no recipe required meals?
I like eating out, but not when it means an unplanned trip through the drive-thru for so-so food that is expensive. I know I can make much better food at home for less money. And a good meal doesn't have to take a long time to fix.
Keep a list of quick meals and recipes inside your pantry door or near your calendar.
Keep the ingredients for those meals in your pantry and fridge.
A freezer stocked with cooked chicken and hamburger helps speed dinner to the table.
Pasta and egg dishes are often fast meals. As a bonus, they're inexpensive too.


I failed miserably today at what I am supposed to be doing as a mother. I failed and it was due to many factors.
I was tired, I was stressed, there was very little time and too much homework. S is not supposed to have that much homework! That's why he is at school from 7am till 3pm. This was not part of the deal.
To make things worse, we had a family gathering today, which was absolutely amazing. We sat outside, the kids played football. We took photos, we ate great food. But that meant we didn't get home till past 5pm.
So, that meant we had one hour to do his Islamic studies homework, his Quran, and his maths worksheets. All went really well. We had the usual routine of J having a million important things to say to me that just couldn't wait till after I finished helping S with his homework. And Baby B has a fever and was in a foul foul mood. But otherwise, all went well and he did all his work sheets on his own.
Until we got to the last worksheet page. It dealt with time.
If It takes Mrs.Jones 18 minuets to get to school, and she leaves her house at 7.05. What time will she arrive at school?
There was a flood on the way to school that make Mrs Jones 10 minute late. If she left her house at 7.45 what time would she arrive at school?
Oh my God. We both lost it. I would say:S, if it's 8 now for example, and it would take you 10 minutes to be ready, then what time would you be ready?
Then, like an idiot, I would say something like: 3!!! 3!!! How did you get three! What process did you follow to find 3.
So he would say: 7? and I would say something equally as ridiculous (actually worse cause I'm the adult) like: oh! So now we can go back in time?
I didn't start out like this I swear! I got a pen and paper and tried to show him it by drawing out the time on a clock face. Then I got down the wall clock and used it to show him the time. Then I tried to do it by writing down the numbers and adding and subtracting the minutes. But he just couldn't tell the difference between the minutes and the hours!
At one point this is the conversation we had.
Me: If it's 8.03 and you are running ten minutes late. So you will get to school after 10 minutes. What time will you get to school?
Me: S!!! If it's 8.03 and you are late! 10 minutes late. What time will you get there? What should you do?
S: say sorry for being late?
I'm annoyed, at myself mostly because I am an idiot and I made him cry. And at the school more because this is not what I should be doing! They are the ones who should be teaching him! That's why he spends more hours during the day with them then with me! 8 hours at school and about 4 hours maximum 5 with me before he sleeps. I'm not ok with this.
Before he slept we skipped story time for family time, I wanted to end the day on a good note not with him crying and me being a moron. J wasn't interested and was just packing and unpacking the little box she keeps beside her bed with the "treasures" she's taking to the new house.
I sat in the floor beside his bed, he was laying down looking at me and I said to him: at least now we know one thing For sure.
Me: That I can never be a teacher. I would be a terrible teacher.
S: you're good at teaching some things. But the rest you are not…. Don't be a teacher Mama.
dont blame your self,reading clocks are tricky at the begining,i remember i had trouble reading analog watches till i was may be 12..which is why i always used digital watches that shows the hours and minutes in numbers.
stuff happen,we are not expected to be at our best shapes all the time,kids need to learn that even adults make mistakes,and are still vulnerable even though we are grown ups.
take it easy,i know your kids are older than mine but whats coming is only gonna get harder.
True, the ironic thing is J has the mother of all meltdowns yesterday and I had one today! Her excuse is she's 4 lol. I want to help my son with homework. So obviously, so I don't make him hate school, or me, I have to fix this! Tomorrow we try again.
i must say mashAllah your kids are intelligent.
Hello dear, we all have our meltdowns, and it does not make u a failure as a parent… this is how we learn.. So don't be so hard on yourself. We are all just learning, and if you're anything like me, I am kind of wondering when the real mom is gonna show up… so I can be a kid again… only to realize YOU ARE IT!
I must say I agree with the whole homework thing. I find they give toooo much homework here, and I feel the kids are not learning ANYTHING while at school, and you are then forced to teach them everything yourself, or get a tutor to do it all. (not from personal experience with my kids as they are still young, but from my relatives).
Take care, and I am not saying this just to be nice.. but you really are a GREAT example of a mother, and I would only hope to be as good as you are when my kids are older enshallah.
Om Lujain you are so sweet. And I know exactly what you mean! Waiting for someone to come in and take over. And thank you for saying I'm a great example of a mother :) but keep in mind I pick and choose what you hear about hehehehe lol. But I am trying.
Time is a system unto itself. Where else do we count by 60's? Sounds like it was a long day. I think his homework should only take about half an hour and just be a review.
Djd I completely agree. It should not consume the childrens day at all. That's what school is there for. It was a long day for the both of us.

Tragedy strikes family twice in 16 hours
Northern Rivers couple Lee-Anne and Greg Nolan.
Javier Encalada
6th Aug 2020 12:00 AM | Updated: 1:47 PM
THE Northern Rivers community is rallying to support Lee-Ann and Greg Nolan, a local couple currently in hospital in Port Macquarie.
During a trip to Port Macquarie with their three children and some friends, Mr Nolan felt ill on July 14.
He was admitted at Port Macquarie Base Hospital, where he was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and started chemotherapy treatment.
The next morning, after hearing of her husband's diagnosis and on her way to hospital, Mrs Nolan walked into the path of a driver and sustained multiple serious fractures to her head, pelvis and legs.
Mr Nolan said his wife was then rushed to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle for specialised head trauma treatment.
"Our lives drastically changed forever within 16 hours," Mr Nolan said.
Mrs Nolan was able to return to Port Macquarie last week for further treatment near her family.
A GoFundMe campaign created for them has raised more than $10,000 so far, but family and friends are asking for further support from the community.
Greg Nolan is a well-known music teacher at a number of schools between Kyogle and Lismore. Lee-Ann has operated a cleaning business for years. But after this, they will not be able to work.
"My immune system is in tatters because of the chemotherapy, so I cannot be around children or in a school environment until this is over, and I am up for at least three bouts of chemo," he said.
"Lee-Ann will need six to 12 months of treatment and rehabilitation.
"One is very keen to help those in need, but when it's one who needs to ask for help, it's really hard.
"We agonised over the idea of creating the GoFundMe campaign, but there were so many people offering to help."
He grew up in Lismore and Leanne is originally from Byron Bay.
The couple has lived in Kyogle for the last 25 years but are facing life in Port Macquarie and the need to sell their Northern Rivers home.

Financial institutions are facing an increasingly more sophisticated array of security threats every day. Although a physical access control system provides protection of a financial institution's assets, there is a growing need to enhance the level of security to meet an ever-changing threat landscape.
Many large organizations over-entitle their employees, meaning they grant them with more credentials than necessary. In fact, Convergint partner RightCrowd estimates that 50 to 90 percent of employees are over-entitled, and once access is granted, it is almost never revoked. Security process automation can help minimize this problem.
RightCrowd empowers security departments to streamline, and then use technology to lock down manual processes.
For example, technology automates and secures the process of requesting and approving access requests. When a request is created, a workflow is automatically initiated, requesting approval from relevant approvers. Approvers can be customized for specific site areas, including functional managers responsible for a specific area, the requestor's line manager, the security director, and others. When all necessary approvals are received, the system automatically provisions the user with the approved access into an enterprise's physical access control system.
Financial security solutions from RightCrowd and Convergint help security departments scale their service programs, improve policy compliance, and reduce cost or increase efficiency.

What affects the way in which alcohol is burned off?
How much is one unit of alcohol?
Your rights when stopped by the Police?
If you are looking for information about drink driving you are in the right place.
Since the 70's, drink driving fatalities have decreased significantly. Deaths had decreased by 84% between 2013 and 1979 when drink drive deaths accounted for around a quarter all off road related deaths.
This decrease has been due, in part, to increased education of the effects of drink driving.
However, many charities have campaigned for zero tolerance policy but many people deem this as being unrealistic as there are other factors that may cause a BAC reading in breathalysers such as time since eating or even using mouthwash.
At Insurance Revolution, we lobbied government to increased education and understanding of the drink driving limits in place. You can see some of the work we undertook on the Insurance Revolution website.
The best place to research drink drive penalties is on the official UK government website however we have used the information there to provide simple answers.
In some cases, usually when your ban is over 12 months, the court will rule that are eligible to reduce your driving ban by taking a drink-drive rehabilitation scheme course, or a DDRS course.
The decision to take a course has to be made in court when you are found guilty. Your decision in court will be final so you cannot change your mind after the event.
If you are looking for a course supplier, you can view the course providers in your region in our directory.
If you are convicted of drink driving, you may find that it impacts on your working life, especially if you drive for a living.
If you use company vehicles, or you drive for a living, for example as a courier, a ban will have a very obvious knock on effect. Furthermore, you will also see an effect for years to come. You may experience higher than usual insurance premiums, plus you will have to inform your employer to ensure that you are insured on their vehicles properly for the years until your conviction is 'spent'.
According to the NHS, there are a variety of factors that affect how quickly your body burns or uses alcohol.
It can also take longer if your liver isn't working normally due to illness.
Of course, another major factor is how much alcohol you have consumed and in what period of time. The NHS again, explain what a unit is for us.
When you are stopped by the police, you do have rights.
The police can ask to see your driving license, your MOT certificate and your insurance certificate. If you fail to provide these, you will be asked to go along to a police station with the requested documents within 7 days.
You can be arrested if you fail to give a breath test or breathalyser on the road side without a good reason. Good reason is usually deemed to be that you have a medical condition, either physical or mental which may stop you from giving a breath sample. If you fail to do a breath test the police can arrest you.
The police are also allowed to give you on the stop fines and points for offences such as mobile phone use whilst driving, careless driving, failure to wear a seat belt and driving too close to other vehicles.
However, the police are also allowed to take no action at all, leave you with a warning, charge you or even issue driver training.
If you are given a fixed penalty and you believe it is unjust you can argue the case in court.
Of course the police are within their rights to seize or impound your vehicle, or ask you to have your vehicle fixed within 14 days depending on the reason they have stopped you.

There is no denying integrity and confidentiality of data has turned to be one of the biggest online concerns. Likewise, the increase in number of DNS leak issues has added fuel to the fire when it comes to exploring various measures that relate to secure web browsing.
In this guide, I would like to highlight DNS leak issues and how you can keep your privacy intact through DNS leak test. To prevent IP leaks or other leak tests, make sure you have the best VPN in the first place.
What is a DNS Leak and how can it affect us?
How does my VPN leak DNS?
How to test for DNS leaks?
DNS is a Domain Name System that allows your devices to communicate with the internet system appropriately. In the absence of DNS, the internet will not work and provide you the required browsing results.
Whether you use Windows, Mac, Android or iOS, all devices have an IP address. This IP address helps computer systems or devices in working and recognizing together. Furthermore, it aids your browser in identifying the devices to whom results should be delivered.
If you enter a URL www.vpnranks.com into your browser then the browser will send the request to your DNS server. Hence, the DNS server transfers the request to IP address set up for that particular domain name.
Through IP address, your browser shows your desired website in no time.
At times, a VPN is unable to secure user device's DNS query despite the rest of internet traffic is masked through VPN tunnel. You may term this situation as a DNS leak. As a result, online snoopers or other unwanted personnel can trace your online activities.
In general term, DNS acts like an internet address book. Therefore, it influences your online privacy a great deal. Whatever you do over the internet becomes visible. The browser as well as other apps uses DNS to explore servers that manage sites and services you visit.
Likewise, your device sends its queries to a DNS server and the server sends direction back to your searches. This is how DNS leak can cause privacy hassles to another level.
How can I check If my VPN is safeguarding me or not?
You will have to rely on DNS leak test that provides enough insights about a VPN effectiveness. In order to perform the leak test, you just have to connect to a VPN provider whose server is present outside your country. Hence, you can use different tools like http://dnsleak.com/to check if your VPN leaks your DNS or not.
However, bear in mind that DNS leaks do not expose your actual IP address. It exposes your ISP IP address. This way, your original IP address can be exposed too.
Why do I need to check DNS if I am already using a VPN?
There are chances your device might send DNS traffic outside the VPN tunnel. Likewise, it may send DNS traffic within the VPN tunnel but to unknown DNS server. Therefore, unwanted third parties can trace your web surfing and other online tasks.
Hence, you are bound to perform DNS leak test even you are protected through a VPN. If you want to know how to test for DNS leak, use online privacy tools like www.doileak.com, https://whatismyip.live/dns-lookup and others.
As a result, third parties may trace your online activities like list of websites. Similarly, they can monitor your activities through your apps too.
In case you have performed manual VPN configuration, risks of DNS leaks improve to another level. Thus, you should consider using VPN apps to overcome DNS leak problems.
If you are using a public Wi-Fi, a hacker can disclose your DNS traffic by sending it outside of VPN tunnel. Hence, you need to avail a VPN service that offers DNS leak protection feature.
If you have categorically explained to your operating about not using DNS servers of your VPN services, you may find yourself in trouble. By conducting DNS leak fix process; you can avoid anticipating DNS leaking issues.
How your IP could be leaked?
You may face IP leak hassles in different ways. You may contemplate these IP leaks in the form of torrent DNS IP leak, WebRTC DNS leak and VPN IP DNS leak.
Surprisingly, your IP addresses can be identified through torrenting process. When you conduct torrenting task, your torrent client can insert your IP address into various packets it delivers to tracker. Check out best VPN for torrenting to bypass the above problem instantly.
WebRTC, commonly known as Web real-time communication is a process by which users can perform tasks like audio and video call within web browsers. Sadly, the above-explained procedure may become a cause of WebRTC DNS leak issue.
When you use a VPN, you can hide all your online activities. However, your DNS queries are not limited to an unknown network as it is directed to local network, which your system knows. The DNS queries are sent to neighboring DNS server straightaway without the protection of a VPN.
Netizens from all around the world uses different Wi-Fi connections like office Wi-Fi, home Wi-Fi, and public Wi-Fi. You may anticipate unstable DNS system issue that could lead to DNS leak in the end.
The number of internet-connected devices is increasing at a humongous pace. Consequently, demand of unused IP addresses are on the higher side. But, the IP addresses are low in IPv4. Hence, IPv4 has been replaced by IPv6.
Unfortunately, the latest versions of Windows have also increased the probability of DNS leak problems considerably. The feature of smart multi-homed named resolution is included in Windows 8 and other latest versions.
The said benefit improves your internet browsing speeds and sends request to all available DNS servers. Thus, you may face DNS leak issues on your latest Windows devices.
The procedure of DNS leak prevention is a detailed one. Still, you should perform this process to attain online freedom. It is not a bad idea if you apply DNS leak security method on your browsers and operating systems.
Once you have secured your devices including browsers and operating systems through DNS leak protection process, you can conduct DNS leak test to check the reality.
Unfortunately, you cannot trust every single VPN provider when it comes to bypassing DNS leak hassles. This issue arises when DNS prefetching process takes places on Chrome browsers automatically. Google Chrome offers a built-in advantage in the form of DNS prefetching that resolves domain names before a user attempts to follow a link.
When a user surfs the web through VPN browser extensions, Chrome offers two kinds of modes like fixed servers and pac script. In case of fixed servers mode, extension identifies the host of a HTTPS/SOCKS proxy server. Hence, all connection passes through proxy server later.
Similarly, in case of pac script, extension delivers a PAC script that helps in changing the HTTPS/SOCKS proxy server with different conditions. But, the issue of DNS leak becomes visible when PAC script is used and DNS prefetching also works simultaneously.
The HTTP proxy does not endorse the process of proxying DNS request. Furthermore, Chrome does not support DNS over SOCKS protocol. Therefore, prefetched DNS requests pass through system DNS. This way, DNS leak problem takes place.
How to test a VPN if it is leaking your DNS?
This is how you can overcome DNS leak hassle a great deal.
Reddit has become a go-to platform when users from all around the world need to explore relevant and unbiased reviews about different services and products. You can opt the famous interactive community to find out efficient leak test tools hassle-free.
Here is the comment of one Reddit user indicating about the effectiveness of another DNS test tool.
Comment from discussion oldconservative's comment from discussion "Looking for some legitimate DNS Leak Test Tool".
Another Reddit user has identified testing tool that may secure your privacy from DNS leaking problems to certain degree.
Comment from discussion ProgressiveArchitect's comment from discussion "Good trusted websites to test for DNS, IP Leaks?".
What does Avast Secureline show up in a DNS leak test?
Avast Secureline does not show up your original IP address during leak test. Likewise, it does not reveal your actual IP address when you go through IP and WebRTC leaks tests.
How do I know what my DNS server is?
You can find out your DNS server by typing "ipconfig/all" at the command prompt. Thus, you should press the "Enter" key. You should search for the field termed as "DNS Servers". This way, you can explore primary and secondary DNS servers.
How can I check my DNS settings?
How can I reset my DNS server?
What is the best DNS server?
Should I be worried for a DNS leak?
You should consider DNS leak issue seriously, as it can harm your online privacy and anonymity a great deal.
What if you are connected to a VPN service and still see a DNS leak during the test?
In this scenario, you should contact customer support section of your VPN service at the earliest.
I hope you would have appreciated my guide.DNS leaks have become alarming threats. They pose serious question marks on users' privacy even in the presence of such a unique commodity like VPN.
Still, you should not lose your hopes as I have described various DNS leaks in detail. I have also mentioned steps that relate to best DNS leak test. This way, you can secure your privacy to another level.


Despite the self-congratulatory air to him, there is no denying that Mick Hucknall could once write hooks that sank deep into the brain, basslines that controlled your knees and songs that succeeded in his stated aim of giving you a "warm, gooey feeling". Since the mid-Nineties, though, the material has been a bit same-old.
But finding himself back in the studio 30 years after the release of Simply Red's debut album, Hucknall appears to have got some of his mojo back, with added sincerity. Big Love sees the former Lothario expressing appreciation for the merits of enduring, family love. The title track is a slow-twirl for wedding anniversaries – complete with harp – on which Hucknall finds himself "falling in love again" with "the very same girl I have known for year after year".
Meanwhile, Dad is a moving tribute to the father who raised him after his mother left the family when he was three: you can forgive the soppiness. But the tack is back on Love Gave Me More on which Hucknall has added a (possibly French) female vocalist moaning and poutily begging for more. When it comes to that sort of thing in 2015, less is more, Mick.

Watch: IG responsible for Pahad Singh's surrender talks about how Naxals use sophisticated technology
Author: Nupur J Sharma
Publication: Opindia.com
URL: https://www.opindia.com/2018/09/video-exclusive-ig-gp-singh-pahad-singh-naxals-use-sophisticaled-technology/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Recently, after some 'activists' were arrested for their alleged involvement with Naxals, a large section of the intelligentsia erupted with cries of how a fascist regime was cracking down on free speech and dissent. They asserted that these were mere activists who worked for the rights of the adivasis and that to allege that they had connections with the Naxals was basically cracking down on do-gooders who disagreed with the current Modi regime.
Busting this narrative, OpIndia conducted an interview with Pahad Singh, a Naxal who had surrendered after 18 years in the jungle. A high ranking Naxal as Pahad Singh himself revealed that one of the 'activists' who was arrested, Arun Ferreira, was present at a high-level meet of CPI (Maoists) which is a banned terror outfit. He also revealed that Pahad Singh himself was made the secretary of two areas in that meeting, and Central Committee Members were also present. He asserted that Ferreira was a member of the Rajya committee of CPI (Maoists).
Pahad Singh perhaps managed to successfully shatter one part of the narrative that surrounded the raid and subsequent house arrest of these 'activists' by placing Ferreira directly a high-ranking Naxal meet.
However, there is another part of the narrative which is equally important. Some of these 'activists' have also been accused of sending emails that not only hinted at an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister's life but also planning of how arms and ammunition can be smuggled, arranging the finance for the "movement" etc. The police had also spoken of an email by 'activist' Sudha Bhardwaj to one Comrade Prakash which had chilling details of how security forces can be ambushed.
Many sympathisers alleged that the entire case was fabricated because if these people were Naxals, they certainly wouldn't use emails to plan an assassination plot and other details such as smuggling of arms and ambush of security forces.
After the interview which OpIndia conducted with Pahad Singh, IG G P Singh who was instrumental in Pahad Singh's surrender was also interviewed. GP Singh has been working in Naxal affected areas for the better part of his career and was tracking Pahad Singh since the time he picked up the weapon. He used to be in touch with family in order to coax him into surrendering. Finally, after 18 long years, when GP Singh became the IG of Durg, Chattisgarh, Pahad Singh decided to surrender to him.
In the course of the interview, GP Singh was also asked about the relationship the Naxals share with technology in the light of the 'intelligentsia' and left activists asserting that since PM's assassination plot and other material recovered was planned on email, the entire episode must be fake and got up.
IG GP Singh said that any organisation in today's day and age has to use the latest technology. He gave the example of Osama Bin Laden and that he had, in the year 2000, written about how he communicates with his cadre all across the world. He said he used a sophisticated messaging system that could be used from any cyber cafe. While the messages might look innocuous to anyone else, the recipient would understand how to decode those messages.
Coming to the Naxals, he said many times they have intercepted email exchanges but they are encrypted emails. He said that they are always encrypted by a strong encryption key using PGP software which is difficult to crack. These organisations do use technology and in fact, use the latest technology because, for them, their survival is paramount.
Talking about the latest developments, he says it is also possible that the "Urban Naxals have not been trained to that level" and now that their emails have been caught, they have been exposed in a big way.
He reiterated that the Naxals, especially the higher management use the latest technology and sometimes go way ahead of the security forces. Once caught, he said, the encryption on the emails have to be breached, which is often a difficult task.

Q: How to mask parts of overlapping UIBezierPaths I'm drawing a graph where there is a dot at each graph point:

To draw the graph line I'm using UIBezierPath:moveToPoint: and to draw the dots I'm drawing two circles at each point using UIBezierPath:makeCircleAtLocation:.
How can I remove the graph line where it passes through each dot? So that the dot is just pure white inside?
TIA
The  code:
- (void) addDotAtLocation:(CGPoint)location radius:(CGFloat)radius withInnerColor: (UIColor*) innerColor andOuterColor: (UIColor*) outerColor
{
    [outerColor setFill];
    UIBezierPath *circle = [self makeCircleAtLocation:location  radius:5.0f];
    [circle fill];
    [innerColor setFill];
    circle = [self makeCircleAtLocation:location  radius:4.0f];
    [circle fill];

for (int ii = 1; ii < [self.testData count]; ++ii)
{
    dataPoint = self.testData[ii];
    x = [self convertTimeToXPoint:dataPoint.time];
    y = [self convertDataToYPoint:dataPoint.dataUsage];
    plotPoint = CGPointMake(x, y);
    [barGraph addLineToPoint:plotPoint];
    [self addDotAtLocation:plotPoint radius:5.0 withInnerColor:[UIColor whiteColor] andOuterColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
}

A: Try to distinguish in your mind between constructing a bezier path (it's just a path) and drawing the path (stroking and/or filling). The order in which you draw is the "layering" order. So you want to stroke your graph lines - all of your graph lines - first, and then and only then you want to stroke and fill your circles.
That is not what you are doing now. You are constructing the graph bezier path first, but then you are stroking and filling your circles and only then you stroke the graph path so of course it ends up "in front".
So, here's your code (condensed for clarity):
UIBezierPath *barGraph = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[barGraph moveToPoint:plotPoint]; // this does NOT draw
for (int ii = 1; ii < [self.testData count]; ++ii)
{
    // ...
    [barGraph addLineToPoint:plotPoint]; // this does NOT draw
    [self addDotAtLocation:...]]; // THIS DRAWS!
}
// and you see we still have not drawn any of the graph lines yet

Thus you are clearly drawing in the opposite of the order you desire.

A: [circle fill];
Being circle the name of your path

Desmond Tutu: South Africa Mourns Anti-Apartheid Hero
News | December 27, 2021
BBC News: CAPE TOWN, South Africa – South Africa is holding a week of events to mark the passing of the anti-apartheid leader Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who died on Sunday aged 90.
The plans include two days of lying in state before an official state funeral on 1 January in Cape Town.
Tributes have been pouring in from leaders around the world, including Queen Elizabeth II, US President Joe Biden and Pope Francis.
Tutu was one of the country's best known figures at home and abroad.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a statement that Tutu had helped bring about "a liberated South Africa".
A contemporary of Nelson Mandela, Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his role in the struggle to abolish the apartheid system enforced by the white minority government against the black majority in South Africa from 1948-91.
On Sunday, South Africans of all ages and backgrounds stopped by Cape Town's St George's Cathedral to lay flowers and pay tribute to the country's national hero.
In honour of Tutu, the bells of the cathedral, the oldest in South Africa, will be rung daily at noon local time until Friday.
"His significance supersedes the boundaries of being an Anglican," mourner Brent Goliath told AF, breaking down in tears.
"I was very emotional this morning when I heard that he'd passed away. I thank God that he has been there for us," Mr Goliath said, adding that he had met Tutu several times.

World leaders have also paid tribute.
President Biden said he was "heartbroken to learn of the passing of a true servant of God and of the people", adding that Tutu's "legacy transcends borders and will echo through the ages".
Former US President Barack Obama described Tutu as "a mentor, friend and moral compass".
In a message of condolence, Queen Elizabeth II said she remembered with fondness her meetings with him, and his great warmth and humour.
"Archbishop Tutu's loss will be felt by the people of South Africa and by so many people in Great Britain, Northern Ireland and across the Commonwealth, where he was held in such high affection and esteem."
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said Tutu had "inspired a generation of African leaders who embraced his non-violent approaches in the liberation struggle".
The Vatican said in a statement that Pope Francis offered "heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones".
"Mindful of his service to the gospel through the promotion of racial equality and reconciliation in his native South Africa, his holiness commends his soul to the loving mercy of almighty God."
The Nelson Mandela Foundation said Tutu's "contributions to struggles against injustice, locally and globally, are matched only by the depth of his thinking about the making of liberatory futures for human societies".
"He was an extraordinary human being. A thinker. A leader. A shepherd."
Tutu's death comes just weeks after that of South Africa's last apartheid-era president, FW de Klerk, who died at the age of 85.
The voice of hope
It is impossible to imagine South Africa's long and tortuous journey to freedom – and beyond – without Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
While other struggle leaders were killed, or forced into exile, or prison, the diminutive, defiant Anglican priest was there at every stage, exposing the hypocrisy of the apartheid state, comforting its victims, holding the liberation movement to account, and daring Western governments to do more to isolate a white-minority government that he compared, unequivocally, to the Nazis.
When democracy arrived, Tutu used his moral authority to oversee the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that sought to expose the crimes of the white-minority government. Later he turned that same fierce gaze on the failings, in government, of South Africa's former liberation movement, the ANC.
Many South Africans today will remember Tutu's personal courage, and the clarity of his moral fury.
But as those who knew him best have so often reminded us, Tutu was always, emphatically, the voice of hope. And it is that hope, that optimism, accompanied, so often, by his trademark giggles and cackles, that seems likely to shape the way the world remembers, and celebrates, Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Known affectionately as The Arch, Tutu was instantly recognisable, with his purple clerical robes, cheery demeanour and almost constant smile.
He was not afraid to show his emotions in public, including memorably laughing and dancing at the opening ceremony of the football World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
Despite his popularity, though, he was not a man who was loved by all. He was very critical of the African National Congress (ANC) government in the post-apartheid era, when, at times, he felt it was misrepresenting South Africa – even warning in 2011 that he would pray for its downfall over a cancelled visit by the Dalai Lama.
In response, the national police commissioner Gen Bheki Cele told Tutu to "go home and shut up".
"He is not a vice-Jesus Christ," he said.
Ordained as a priest in 1960, Tutu went on to serve as bishop of Lesotho from 1976-78, assistant bishop of Johannesburg and rector of a parish in Soweto. He became Bishop of Johannesburg in 1985, and was appointed the first black Archbishop of Cape Town the following year. He used his high-profile role to speak out against oppression of black people in his home country, always saying his motives were religious and not political.
After Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994, Tutu was appointed by him to a Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up to investigate crimes committed by both whites and blacks during the apartheid era.
He was also credited with coining the term Rainbow Nation to describe the ethnic mix of post-apartheid South Africa, but in his latter years he expressed regret that the nation had not coalesced in the way in which he had dreamt.

Is your roof looking tired & dirty; or overgrown with moss?
Roof algae, moss and lichen shorten the life of your roof, can ruin the appearance of your property and cause leakage. Having your roof repaired, cleaned and sealed by Property Fix UK will enhance the appearance of your property as well as prolong the life of the roof.
Weathering causes roof tiles to loose their protective coating and become very porous. Porous tiles absorb moisture which freezes during winter, expanding and cracking the tile surface. Tile erosion creates an environment attractive to moss and lichen. This causes further tile degradation, and could result in major roof damage if underlying timbers become exposed and rot.
Property Fix UK resurface the tiles using our four stage restoration process. This leaves your roof not only looking like a new roof, but acting like a new roof; totally waterproof and maintenance free. In addition, our roof coatings also insulate your roof using a state of the art ceramic technology saving up to 40% of heat loss while dramatically reducing condensation. All without the inconvenience of a skip in the driveway and weeks of disruption. Our system eliminates moss and lichen and reduces the risk of wind damage. The rainwater will run off the roof as if it were new, so you will have no more blocked guttering to worry about. For added peace of mind, all our work is covered by a fully comprehensive 10 year guarantee.
Take the first step to making your old roof like new by contacting us for a no-obligation quotation.


While active, grants the Cat's Stealth and Cat's Agility buffs in sequence. Cat's Stealth increases your critical strike chance, makes you harder to see, and gives you a chance to avoid damage for a short duration. Cat's Agility increases your attack and cast speed for a longer secondary duration.


I'm not sure who to contact but I can't seem to access my old account anymore as I've forgotton my password and I don't receive any emails when I click to request a new one..
have I been deleted from the database or something?
Your old account is still active as far as I can see, though it shows you last visited in July 2016, is that about right?. It might be that the password emails are going to an old email address and not to your current one, if it's possible for you to check that then that's your next move.
In the meantime I'll see if can find out anything more.
Many thanks for your help Yeah that sounds about right.. although I do visit regularly, I just haven't been logged in.
Ah I hope it isn't registered to another email as I don't have access to any old emails anymore. Is there a way someone could reset it for me?

Moderators don't have the tools to reset passwords, I'm afraid. I will check with admin whether they are able to do so, your new email address is recorded. I would persever with your new username for now. Welcome back to active participation, anything else, just post here your posts still need to be approved, until then are they are only visible to mods and admin for the moment.
Ditto as to the above query. I can't reset password on old account, email is defunct. Please delete previous account ... this one will do.
I will delete your old defunct account.
As to [b]§2.5[,/b] " excessive use of caps, exclamation marks, or 'chat' in the ER forums is undesirable "
is more than one exclamation mark forbidden? and what is meant by "chat in the ER forums is undesirable"?
There are no arcane rules that you need to worry about here, just join in the discussions and post coherently, if any problems should arise they can always be sorted out amicably.


Most of us have a virus called cytomegalovirus (CMV) in our bodies. Usually, the body's immune system prevents the virus from causing any problems. However, if for some reason, our body's mechanisms for defense against infections are severely weakened, the CMV can cause serious diseases. This is often seen in AIDS patients.
The route of administration depends on the product. Injections into the white part of the eye are not as difficult as most people might think. After a local anesthetic has been used (usually just a couple of eye drops), the patient normally feels little, if any, pain or irritation. The procedure is simple and quick, and allows the patient to return to their daily activities with little inconvenience. It avoids many of the whole body side effects that are so often caused when products used to treat CMV retinitis are given by mouth or by direct injection into the blood.
All of the various drugs and their methods of delivery highlighted above have advantages and disadvantages. The patient will need to discuss treatment choices with his/her doctor.

'Rogue One' Will Be "Different" To The Rest Of The 'Star Wars' Franchise
18th February 2016 By Dale Orenda
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor Riz Ahmed sits down to talk about what we can expect in the upcoming sci-fi spin-off. Scroll down for all the details.
source // LucasFilm
Now the smoke has FINALLY cleared after J.J. Abrams' monumentally successful Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we can start to look forward to Gareth Edwards' rebel based spin-off, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Little is known about the plot or characters as of yet, but star Riz Ahmed – who's most notable role to date was in Nightcrawler – has promised a wholly different and grittier Star Wars movie to the rest of multi-billion dollar franchise. While he doesn't reveal any details about the story or who he'll be playing, he has let slip that, at it's core, Rogue One will be a war movie.
We know already that the movie follows the rebels who braved Darth Vader's imperial forces to steal the Death Star plans before the original movie, and it's being touted as a sci-fi version of Spielberg's epic Saving Private Ryan.
Ahmed recently spoke to HeyUGuys and had this to say about the movie:
"In a weird way, this hasn't been like a machine. What Gareth Edwards is bringing to Rogue One is incredible, organic, loose, kind of a raw feeling. When Gareth speaks about Rogue One, he spoke about it in terms of a war movie. And he compares it to other War movies. What it will bring is a fresh pair of eyes on a familiar world. I think that is real exciting. We're doing something a little different to the other films. And hopefully people are ready for that, and will embrace it."
He also championed the diversity among the cast, mentioning how it is a true reflection of society as opposed to a reaction to any racial issues in Hollywood:
"It's been really cool. Because Star Wars is such a touchstone for cinema. It really has been for decades. It's really cool to see them leading the way for diversity. I wouldn't even call it diversity. I would call it honesty, really. They're lining their films with a sign of the times we're living in. Felicity has the lead role in Rogue One. And you have Diego Luna, Donnie Yen and Wen Jiang in there as well. It's really cool to see that franchise lead the way, and bring us into line with reality a little more."
And who better to lead this varied and talented cast than 2014's Godzilla director, Gareth Edwards. Ahmed had a few choice words on working with the man:
"He's such a down to earth, relaxed, normal dude with a wicked sense of humor. He doesn't bring any ego to the table. It's not like a big boss on set. He puts everyone at ease. Lets everyone relax. He creates a working environment where everyone can have some input, everyone can bring something to the table. He brings out the best in everyone. So, hopefully some of it stuck. And I look forward to it."
While all of these little snippets are exciting, we still know very little about what will transpire. There are rumours of a Boba Fett appearance, as well as the big bad Darth Vader showing up. In all honesty, it's much more satisfying not knowing every little detail, but the suspense is painful. After all, we've still got nearly a year left to wait!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be released on December 16, 2016.

Луся́нь () — уезд городского округа Лучжоу провинции Сычуань (КНР).

История
В 135 году до н.э. здесь был образован уезд Цзянъян (江阳县), впоследствии переименованный в Лучуань (泸川县). При империи Юань он был преобразован в область Лучжоу (泸州). После образования Китайской республики область Лучжоу была преобразована в уезд Лусянь.

В январе 1950 года был образован Специальный район Лусянь (泸县专区), и уезд вошёл в его состав. В июле 1950 года урбанизированная часть уезда Лусянь была выделена в город Лучжоу. В декабре 1952 года Специальный район Лусянь был переименован в Специальный район Лучжоу (泸州专区). В августе 1960 года Специальный район Лучжоу был расформирован, входившие в его состав административные единицы были переданы в состав Специального района Ибинь (宜宾区专).

В 1970 году Специальный район Ибинь был переименован в Округ Ибинь (宜宾地区). В 1983 году город Лучжоу и уезды Лусянь, Наси и Хэцзян были выделены в отдельный городской округ Лучжоу.

Административное деление
Уезд Лусянь делится на 1 уличный комитет и 19 посёлков.
