JumpCloud® Introduces Directory-as-a-Service®
Boulder, CO – September 22, 2014 – JumpCloud® today announced the availability of the industry's first Directory-as-a-Service® (DaaS) solution. Through a SaaS-based offering, organizations can move the last vestiges of their legacy, on-premise IT systems to a fully-managed cloud service, providing an alternative to solutions such as Microsoft® Active Directory® (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
JumpCloud's DaaS is the first cloud-based directory with the ability to authenticate, authorize, and manage users, devices, and applications. The service acts as a single-user store for an organization or can extend existing AD/LDAP user stores to the cloud. Further, it integrates with single sign-on (SSO) providers without forcing IT admins to manage multiple directories.
"Jumpcloud understands the need for directory services in the cloud," said Salvatore D'Agostino, CEO of IDmachines. "Building on their secure shell configuration management tools, this offer puts in place cloud-to-machine, user authentication and other directory services. At IDmachines, we see this as a big need in current XaaS."
"As we have seen with the transitions from Siebel to SalesForce, Exchange to Gmail, and file servers to DropBox, JumpCloud is enabling the transition of one of the last on-premise technologies to a fully managed service: the user directory," says Rajat Bhargava, JumpCloud's President and CEO. "Directory-as-a-Service brings IT teams the simplicity, ubiquity, and security of user and device management, all from the cloud."
A single, secure user directory is a foundational element of any company. By moving the directory to the cloud, organizations are more agile, efficient, and secure. Further, DaaS enables IT admins to take advantage of major IT innovations, including cloud services such as IaaS and Gmail, and additional device/operating system combinations, such as Linux and OSX, among others.
JumpCloud has reimagined the directory for the cloud era. The company's new Directory-as-a-Service meets three critical enterprise needs:
Organizations who need a user directory – With the combination of a hosted LDAP offering as well as an agent-based authentication mechanism, this offering takes the heavy lifting off of IT and places it on JumpCloud while enabling the customer to authenticate and authorize cloud infrastructure, servers, IT applications, and internal devices.
Organizations extending their AD or LDAP to the cloud – With the adoption of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), managing server users is largely a manual process and can create reliability and security issues due to the complexity introduced around networking and security configurations. JumpCloud easily, reliably, and securely extends an existing user directory to cloud-based servers and infrastructure.
Organizations replacing AD – Many organizations have migrated to Gmail from Microsoft Exchange, but are still forced to leverage AD for continued management of devices (functionality not available with the G Suite Directory). JumpCloud's DaaS gives IT admins a fully cloud-based solution that connects and manages users, their devices and IT applications.
JumpCloud, the first Directory-as-a-Service platform, is Active Directory and LDAP reimagined. JumpCloud securely manages and connects user identities to their systems, applications, data, and networks. Try JumpCloud's cloud-based directory service at jumpcloud.com.

From Dust is a rather interesting proposition. It's a PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade God game where you control the world around your little peons.
We had the chance to catch up with the creative mind behind the game, Eric Chahi, to talk about how he came up with the idea behind it, and why he decided on the platforms he did.
GamingUnion.net: What was the inspiration behind the game? There's just so much you can do.
Eric Chahi: The main inspiration for me, is real life. Experiences in special places, like volcanoes, which have a big impact on the environment. Active volcanoes are always changing, always moving. I visited volcanoes and I saw real activity with like, the lava flow and it starts to freeze and become rock. It was amazing for me to discover such places, especially as each volcano is different. To imagine, that this rock [which has frozen] was lava just a few hours ago, it creates a strong contrast to the desert. Here, it's been in creation for millions of years. So for me, the main inspiration was landscape and life itself.
GamingUnion.net: Was it hard to put that inspiration into levels that felt different from each other?
Eric Chahi: Each level has its own personality, its own dynamism. There are different species of animals, behaviour and power, so not really.
GamingUnion.net: What was behind the decision to put it as a downloadable title, as opposed to a full retail. Surely you would have been able to do a lot more with the physics, for example?
Eric Chahi: Regarding the physics, the terrain physics, we really push it at the level of what it would have been for a triple A game. It has been optimised as much as it could be on today's hardware. But regarding your question, why XBLA and PSN? It's about creative freedom. If it goes to retail, it could be triple A, but there's much more pressure regarding the content and the marketing aspects. We preferred to make something more humble and simple.
GamingUnion.net: So making a smaller game gave you more creative freedom?
Eric Chahi: Yes yes, definitely.
GamingUnion.net: Do you plan on taking this further, have you got ideas for future titles?
Eric Chahi: Yes, I would like to, but right now there is no plan for a sequel or DLC. Ubisoft have invested in this game, and I think they want to see what the reception will be first. So we can't really say anything yet.
GamingUnion.net: At GamesCom, you were teasing a few of the modes, have you got anything concrete to announce yet?
Eric Chahi: It's true, there is multiple modes, but I can't tell. I promised not to say anything about the other modes.
GamingUnion.net: I do remember you saying that the game can effectively sustain itself though, is that still the case?
Eric Chahi: Oh yes, it's true. The landscape will evolve and, for example, the volcano will get bigger and bigger. Maybe it will reach the first village, or maybe it will close the limit between the village the sea. Or maybe you could even make your own lake. There is a lot of exploration to do with the simulation, which is what I really love. There is a challenge-side, but beyond this, you can continue to play and discover new things.
GamingUnion.net: When you see people testing the game, do you find that people always solve the game in different ways?
Eric Chahi: Yes, yes, and it's always fun for me. I mean, right now some people are playing and I love to see people play. Sometimes they find the same kind of solution, but it's never exactly the same way. Sometimes it's completely different. They might find the most challenging way, like trying to totally change a river completely. And of course, you can replay a place, or a map, to try and do it in a different way.
GamingUnion.net: Is it possible to get a game over?
Eric Chahi: If you have less than five people, you have game over. But if you create a village, your numbers grow and they will reproduce and create new tribesman. It's important to have at least one village.


When it comes to driving, Malta is a mess. Luckily my dive master from Dive Systems was used to it and drove me through the one was streets, through hills, curves andog traffic until we got to the port of the Il Hnejja Grotto (Blue cave) where we got out of the car and into our scuba gear.
We didn't have to swim more than a.few minutes before being at 30 meters depth and by the Um el Faroud, a Libyan ten thousand tonne oil tanker that had an explosion and sunk together with nine of its crewmembers in 1995.
Diving through the wreck was great, but the best was looking up when we were halfway across where the tanker had broken in the middle. There must have been hundreds of Barracudas swimminh in a school above us!
On the second day of diving I went with this Russian dive instructor called Sergey. He took me to the north of the island to dive around a tugboat called P29 and a giant shipwreck called MV Rozi. Sergey was like a non stop guide, telling me all there was to know about Malta on the way- a great lad!
The dive sites at the North were a lot like the ones in the south. The ships and underground landscape were fantastic, but there was not much to see in terms of underwater life. We saw a few mooray eels, some barracudas and tunas, but Sergey explained to me that due to overfishing all the squid, that there used to be so many of, were gone.
The wreck MV Rozi with a canon on the front!
My main purpose of going to Malta was to dove, which I would reccommend everyone to do, but I also had a rental car and got to see some more of what the island had to offer. Together with people from my hostel I got to see forts, churches, the Mdina and the nightlife that Malta is so famous for. I had a blast and I will have to come back, especially to see Gozo which is a neigbor island more like how Malta used to be back in the days.


A few years back, family member Ijaz in DC talked Ray Clark into doing a solid brass 301 which we have used at the DC show over the years. Now a few more have been ordered awaiting the plinths to proceed to their final homes. Here are some snaps of one of them in a test plinth that will be made from curly maple and ebony.
and finally in order to cope with all of that shine I feel the urge for some bead-blast and patina therapy but will have to leave you with some classic "Drug through the Hudson"
RCA MI-9584 on a Battleship horn!
so UPS had its way with the mate... but, the horn did its job of protecting the driver!
anybody know what "Reproducer - Class H & M" means?
check out those mounts! the picture does not do them justice... that hole is at least 1/2"... maybe 3/4"..
note the green color inside... made for the army originally?
and for the curious: the bass is fantastic... a wonderful match to the 16a in that small basement room... one of the best small room speakers ever made!
I was the first person to open the cabinet. How do I know?
Beryllium Diaphragm with mylar surround!
some Magnequest power transformers, anyone?


Looks great! Im in the process of making one now but am not sure how to flatten it…. How did you do yours?
A very nice end grain board. I use very similar methods to make mine. Sanding certainly takes the longest amount of time. I made a V-Drum sander last year. It took a couple of hours off of the sanding time.
Nice choice of woods. The offset lines really make each piece stand out.

Gang of Four – arguably one of the single most influential Post-Punk bands of the late 70's/early 80s.
https://oildale.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/22011321/Gang-Of-Four-In-Concert-Indian-Summer-2006.mp3
Gang Of Four – Live At Indian Summer 2006 – BBC 6 music – September 3, 2006 – BBC 6 Music –
Gang of Four to kick off the week. Arguably, one of the most influential and important bands of the Post-Punk movement of the late 70s/early 80s.
Their music brought together an eclectic array of influences, ranging from the neo-Marxist Frankfurt School of social criticism to the increasingly clear trans-Atlantic punk consensus. The band was named by a member of the Mekons while driving around with Gill and King when he came upon a newspaper article on the intra-Party coup against China's "Gang of Four".
They became a major influence to a number of successful alternative rock acts throughout the '80s and '90s, although few of their followers were as arty or political. R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe cites Gang of Four as one of his band's chief influences; Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers has stated that Gang of Four were the single most important influence on his band's early music. Kurt Cobain stated that Nirvana started as "a Gang of Four and Scratch Acid ripoff". Their debut album Entertainment! was ranked 13th in Kurt Cobain's list of his 50 favorite albums in his journal. Andy Kellman, writing in AllMusic, has even argued that Gang of Four's "germs of influence" can be found in many rap metal groups "not in touch with their ancestry enough to realize it".
The band plays a stripped-down mix of punk rock, funk and dub, with an emphasis on the social and political ills of society. Gang of Four are widely considered one of the leading bands of the late 1970s/early 1980s post-punk movement. Their debut album, Entertainment!, was ranked as fifth greatest punk album of all time and at Number 483 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The album was listed by Pitchfork Media as the 8th best album of the 1970s. Their early 80s albums (Songs of the Free and Hard) found them softening some of their more jarring qualities, and drifting towards dance-punk and disco. David Fricke of Rolling Stone described Gang of Four as "probably the best politically motivated band in rock & roll."
This concert, recorded at the Indian Summer Festival on September 3, 2006, comes in the middle of their first reunion, which featured the original founding members of the band. In 2006, either before or after this gig, drummer Hugo Burnham left the group and was replaced by Mark Heaney.
No question – this is vintage Gang of Four – so you owe it to yourself to crank this one up.

Stephen Jackson Seems to Be Absolutely Tired of Donald Trump
by David Wysong on June 6, 2020
One of the leaders for protesting against police brutality and racism in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing has been former NBA player Stephen Jackson, who was close friends with Floyd. As Floyd's death has sparked protests across the country and the world, President Donald Trump has had a lot to say about both Floyd's death and the protests within the past couple of weeks. Jackson, however, seems to be tired of Trump.

George Floyd was a 46-year-old black man who recently died after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on the back of his neck for over eight minutes. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner then later released an autopsy report that ruled Floyd's death a homicide, according to NPR. The office said that Floyd's heart and lungs stopped functioning "while being restrained" by law enforcement, NPR reported.
Former NBA star Stephen Jackson was close friends with Floyd. The two even referred to each other as "twin," according to Bleacher Report. Jackson has since been leading the charge for justice.
"I'm here because they're not going to demean the character of George Floyd, my twin," Jackson recently said at a rally. "A lot of times, when police do things that they know that's wrong, the first thing they try to do is cover it up, and bring up your background, to make it seem like the bulls–t that they did was worthy. When was murder ever worthy? But if it's a black man, it's approved."
Since the death of his friend, Jackson has seen people from all over the world protest against racism and call for justice.
Many people have been critical of Donald Trump's recent comments

With this being something that has impacted the entire world, President Donald Trump has, of course, recently discussed Floyd's death. However, with some protests turning ugly, Trump has also had some controversial comments.
In one tweet, Trump said this.
"These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won't let that happen," Trump tweeted. "Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!"
Additionally, many people have criticized Trump after he recently said this in a speech.
"Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country," Trump said, according to Complex. "This is a great day for him, it's a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality."
Now, Stephen Jackson has a message for the president.

With Jackson being a vocal leader since the killing of Floyd, he recently gave a message to Trump on Instagram.
"Hey, this message is for Donald Trump. This message is for you," Jackson said on Instagram, according to Complex. "Do not speak on my brother's name. I'm making you a promise: You will not be in the White House come November. You will not be re-elected, I'm telling you now. See how the whole world stood together? Arm to arm, race to race, everybody standing for love? Fifty states, 18 countries. That's what me and my brother Floyd did."
Jackson went on to say this.
"So, we coming to get you out the White House, Donald Trump. Don't speak on my brother's name. That damn sure wasn't a compliment. Just know, the 18 countries and the 50 states that protested, we're coming to get you out the White House. Stay tuned."

Blessing a new house in Thailand begins with the raising of the main post and placing in into the ground. The idea behind it is that blessing the house from the very beginning of its construction creates an auspicious occurrence, and therefore, the residents will live in serenity, prosperity, and happiness.
There are many caveats about building a new home or business, but one of the most important is the astrological prohibitions. Never start building a house on Sunday, Tuesday, and especially not on a Saturday. Should construction begin on any of these days, the owner will have nothing but trouble. Further, construction should begin during an even-numbered month, or the ninth month, as nine is a lucky number.
It is not exactly clear where these beliefs and rituals originate. There is some confusion about whether they were part of a Brahmin practice or a Buddhist practice. Nonetheless, the blessings and ceremonies have been practiced for hundreds of years.
According to some sources, the blessing of the post began as a Brahmin ritual, but as time passed, other features were added, such as invoking occult powers and Buddhism. In today's world, since both the Brahmin priests and the Buddhist monks want the owner to experience good luck, they often plan the blessings together. Who conducts the blessing is up to the owner.
If the owner chooses Buddhist monks to bless his building, there should be two, three, five, or best of all, nine of them. Merit can be made if the blessing time is close to the monk's mealtime, and merit can be made by feeding them. This must be done before midday, as monks do not eat after that time.
Certain items are needed for the ceremony including two tables covered with white tablecloths. A smaller table will hold two flower vases, two candlesticks, and an incense holder. The larger table will hold holy water, coins, sand, and food offerings. Also required are white paste for anointing, a pencil for writing on the post, garlic to rub on the post to adhere a gold leaf, and leaves for sprinkling holy water.
The next part of the ceremony deals with choosing the post. The post should be free of knots, be from a tree that has grown straight, and be free of disease, pests, or anything else that would make it weak.
An oracle is consulted to ensure the timing of raising the post is auspicious. The priest or monk then anoints the post with white paste, adheres the leaf, sprinkles holy water, and then blows sand on the post, to cast a spell of good luck.
The owner lights the candles and the incense, making a wish for good luck, and then makes a food offering.
The priest or monk places different objects in the post-hole including sand, holy water, gold, silver, flowers, candles, and incense to bring blessings to the house. While the post is being hoisted, a gong is struck two or three times, a Brahmin custom to alert the public that a new building is to be erected.
There are many variations to performing this ceremony, but the main objective is to give the owners confidence that they will not be bothered by evil spirits and that their building will be a source of happiness and good fortune.

Q: Finding the rows sharing information I have a file having a structure like below:
file1.txt:
1 10 20 A
1 10 20 B
1 10 20 E
1 10 20 F
1 12 22 C
1 13 23 X
2 33 45 D
2 48 49 D
2 48 49 E

I am trying to find out, which letters have the same information in the 1st,2nd,3rd columns?
For example the output should be:
A
B
E
F
D
E

I am only able to count how many lines are unique via:
cut -f1,2,3 file1.txt | sort | uniq | wc -l
5

which does not give me anything related with the 4th column.
How do I have the letters in the forth column sharing the first three columns?

A: Following awk may help you here.
 awk 'FNR==NR{a[$1,$2,$3]++;next}  a[$1,$2,$3]>1' Input_file  Input_file

Output will be as follows.
1 10 20 A
1 10 20 B
1 10 20 E
1 10 20 F
2 48 49 D
2 48 49 E

To get only the last field's value change a[$1,$2,$3]>1 to a[$1,$2,$3]>1{print $NF}'

A: process the file once:
awk '{k=$1 FS $2 FS $3}
     k in a{a[k]=a[k]RS$4;b[k];next}{a[k]=$4}END{for(x in b)print a[x]}' file

process the file twice:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[$1,$2,$3]++;next}a[$1,$2,$3]>1{print $4}' file file

With the given example, both one-liners above give same output:
A
B
E
F
D
E

Note the first one may generate the "letters" in different order.

A: using best of both worlds...
$ awk '{print $4 "\t" $1,$2,$3}' file | uniq -Df1 | cut -f1

A
B
E
F
D
E

swap the order of the fields, ask uniq to skip the first field and print duplicates only, remove compared fields.
or,
$ rev file | uniq -Df1 | cut -d' ' -f1

A
B
E
F
D
E

if the tagname is not single char you need to add | rev at the end.
NB. Both scripts assume the data is sorted on the compared keys already as in the input file.

A: Another one-pass:
$ awk ' {
    k=$1 FS $2 FS $3        # create array key
    if(k in a) {            # a is the not-yet-printed queue
        print a[k] ORS $NF  # once printed from a...
        b[k]=$NF            # move it to b
        delete a[k]         # delete from a
    }
    else if(k in b) {       # already-printed queue
        print $NF
    } else a[k]=$NF         # store to not-yet-printed queue a
}' file
A
B
E
F
D
E

Stopping the "mental health crisis" that leads to military veterans' suicides was the goal of a workshop here Saturday that highlighted warning signs shown by such veterans.
"This is personal to me, as it is to most veterans. I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Many of my buddies struggle with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and since our battalion's return home, we have lost numerous soldiers to suicide. This effort here today is what we can do right here, right now to try to stop this. It must stop," said Brian Willette, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 3104 commander.

The Updated Exodus Theory and its Corollaries
By The Coconut God, March 25 in General (ASoIaF)
Targaryen Restoration
On 3/26/2019 at 5:23 PM, Sire de Maletroit said:
Exodus to Essos, agree. This is pretty much guaranteed to happen.
Jon leading this exodus, disagree. Jon is more north than any other northman we've met. He's more ice than any of the Starks. He stays put in the north. He continues to live as the lone wolf inside Ghost or he leads the Stark pack. The Starks will stay put in the north and live as a pack of direwolves. They will have their very own Winter Kingdom and Jon, the Alpha Direwolf, will be the King of Winter.
The man to lead the surviving people to the east is somebody who already has connections to Essos. Aegon Griffin or whatever the hell his real name is.
Daenerys and the ex-slavers will have ended their military conflict but there will remain a hard core group of evil Ghiscari who will be socially active in trying to bring back the slave trade. Think of the KKK, ku klux klan and the other hate groups. The slave trade will have formally ended but the task to build a new society is first on Dany's task list.
Daenerys will visit Westeros and realize it's hopeless to turn the weather. She will iron out her differences with Aegon Griffin and they can work together to open the way for the refugees to move to Essos to places like Vaes Tolorro.
Cersei will be dead, but Tyrion and Jaime will probably still be living when the exodus happens. Martin likes Jaime and I can predict the author will keep him alive. Gendry will be the lone Baratheon remaining.
The Starks are not leaving the north. Many highborn will choose to remain with their beloved castles. The long faces of the Starks will stay in the north. Jon and Arya. Bran has no choice. Rickon will be full on wildling. The only Stark who might leave the north is Sansa because she's the odd wolf.
Dany is slowly but surely carving out her own kingdom. It's more empowering to build your own rather than taking back her family's kingdom for the usurpers. I'm praying for the rise of a Valyrian Empire under her rule. It won't be built on slavery this time. I don't think the long night will have much of an effect on Essos. The weirwoods are extinct in the east and the magic there is Fire.

Dany would have a richer and more satisfying story if she stays in Essos and continues with her mission, yes. Arriving in Westeros is just a plot point the readers were conditioned to expect, but she doesn't really have any established conflicts there, in spite of a slew of potential opponents. The people she had legitimate bones to pick with are all dead.
The problem is, the story lines still need to converge. If Dany doesn't go Westeros, then Westeros must come to her, and Jon first of all. You already broke free of one delusive expectation, strike off the other one as well, and see that it makes total sense for a hopeless Jon to lead his people east!

I don't think Dany going to Westeros is just a plot point readers were conditioned to expect. It's been her goal from day one and it is what has driven her story. It's her destiny as she sees it and I expect her ride with Drogon will put her firmly back on that path because for the majority of readers, Dany in Westeros packs more emotional punch than Dany in Essos.
While Essos has been well developed, particularly with the help of companion material, I would say the vast majority of readers have a greater investment in Westeros. Emotionally, the story is about saving Westeros, more so than saving the world. That's where the story began, that's where the majority of the story is taking place, that is where most of the characters we love call home, and that's where the story shall end, with Westeros no doubt better, or at least with the potential to be better, than it was when we found it. To shift the story away from Westeros would, in my opinion, break the promise of what has been set up in the series, and that would only leave more readers dissatisfied than satisfied.
And finally, I would think there are more iconic locations like the Trident, Harrenhal, the God's Eye, etc that are likely to feature some more in the story. I'm certainly hoping that will be the case, rather than say Norvos. The God's Eye seems a good bet for the endgame, but who knows.

The stories do not have to converge. It's much bigger now than George planned. Each main character is the protagonists in her or his plotline with antagonists to fight. Parts of Westeros are already coming to Essos to meet and serve the Dragon Queen. But I don't think Jon Snow will be leading an exodus of the Westerosi because the only people who will follow him after the fall out at the wall are the wildlings. They're not leaving the north. The Starks cannot and will not leave the north. The example of the dead direwolf made that clear. Creatures of the north will not leave the north. The Starks have a pack mindset like actual wolves. They will stick together in the north and work out a new deal with the white walkers. Most of westeros will die. The remaining will cross the step stones and get themselves to Essos.

In storytelling, particularly arcs following the Hero's Journey, you will often see a Want vs Need dichotomy.
The way that works is that the Hero has a Goal or Destiny they know they must accomplish, and they conceptualize this Destiny in the form of a Want. At the beginning of the story, the Hero sets out on a Journey in order to satisfy the Want, and along the way they are faced with Challenges that make them grow. They begin to understand that there exists something more profound than Want, and that something is the Need. The Hero won't achieve their true potential until they learn to let go of the Want and embrace the Need. It's a sign of moral and intellectual maturity, and in the end it is the Need, not the Want, that sets them on their way towards their Destiny.
In Dany's case, the Goal or Destiny is "becoming a Queen". In order to become Queen, she Wants to reclaim the Iron Throne, but that never develops into anything more than a naive and kind of selfish fantasy. In Slaver's Bay, Dany discovers a Need greater than her Want, which is to fight against the evils of slavery, and ultimately to protect the freedmen who look up to her and call her "mother". What makes a Queen, a throne or a people? Want vs Need. She very explicitly makes this choice when Xaro brings her the ships in ADwD.
Many people called out that Dany's story would be better if she stays in Essos, it's not something new, but that was doubtful because the stories had to converge. The Exodus simply fixes the convergence problem.

Funnily enough, this is exactly the conditioning I was talking about!
The reader is absolutely convinced that he was promised a pony Westeros, when in fact the set up for that scenario is much weaker than it seems.
For Dany, any place in Westeros would be just as alien as Qarth and Meereen. There would be no emotional impact on her as she recognizes places from her childhood, no open plot threads waiting to be connected. And she has no rapport with the characters in Westeros either. All the leaders of Robert's Rebellion are dead, she can't even go Inigo Montoya on them. If she's gonna fight fAegon, or Cersei, or Euron, all that needs to be properly set up, since the characters haven't even met yet, they have no bones to pick with each other. "We both want the throne" is a very weak and cliched motivation.
Norvos has a heart broken mother whose son was burned alive by Dany's "children".
Braavos has, oh so many things (potential or confirmed): the house with the red door, Tysha, debts unpaid, identity crises. a taste for freedom with a sinister twist... So many ways to hook Dany, Jon, Tyrion and Arya in tales about the human heart in conflict with itself!
What do Harrenhal and the Trident have? They were... mentioned more often? Actually they're pretty close... Harren+Harrenhal, 276 mentions in the series, Braavos+Braavosi, 218, the Trident, 203. The God's Eye doesn't even have that, it's just a place with a cool name and a nice backstory we don't even see in the series proper. Even Ibben has more set up than that.

He will lead the wildlings because he let them through the Wall and the northmen because of Robb's will, and both of them because his resurrection will give them a ray of hope. I very much doubt there will be no convergence of stories, On Essos or Westeros, the plot lines must meet, otherwise why put them in the same book?
Andrew Yang for President
Oh you know there will be an exodus but it won't be similar to Nymeria leading her ships. This is going to be informal and chaotic. Those on the western end will flee across the sea and take their chances of finding land. Essos is not going to be the only intended destination. The Free Cities are not going to open their doors to the refugees. Slaving cities will attempt to capitalize on this and capture many of the refugees to make slaves out of them. The children of Westeros will be scattered across planetos.
Braavos is not going to oppose a Targaryen who will be seen by millions of former slaves as their Mhysa. They will send their envoys to build an alliance with Mhysa and offer their friendship. The Sealords have always been partial to the Targaryens. They might offer a prominent son of the city for marriage considerations.
Dany is a person of strong will and determination. She will visit Westeros to at least check out the situation and conclude that she will have to wait until Spring in order to take back what is hers. This is the meaning behind the title of A Dream of Spring.
Many of the highborn will stay behind and freeze their buns off inside their castles. Including the Starks. The only one of that clan who might leave the north will be Sansa. The rest will huddle together in Winterfell where they do one of those choices: follow Craster's example and worship the white walkers or die.

Jon has to lead the first wave of refugees, that's the only way for the three story arcs to properly converge in two books. Otherwise you're still pacing the entire series after Dany.
The plot or plots doesn't have to involve Jon. His time should have ended with his stabbing. It was history repeating itself if you believe he was the son of Rhaegar. Rhaegar brought war and misery on the realm because he couldn't tame his desire for one woman. Jon brought ruin to the wall because he couldn't control his desire to help a woman, Arya. Rhaegar's story ended and so should Jon's.
Jon will probably be back if George Martin caves in to the pressure from the character's supporters but it doesn't have to involve a plot convergence. He can stay in the north with Bran and lead the wildlings. Fire in the East and Ice in the West is a better story in my opinion. The challenge for ice is surviving the long night and they are equipped to do this with their warg powers. The human body may die but they get to survive as a pack of wild wolves. Ice is about family and the struggle between family and duty. Fire's challenge is to fight human evil and reform Essos. Dany's challenge has always been learning how best to use her power.

Want and need are part of every character arc. But we can't say that Dany wants to go to Westeros therefore she must learn that what she needs is to stay in Essos. I think Jon and Dany will eventually understand what they need and it will differ from what they want, but I don't see why that can't happen in Westeros.
Dany wants to reclaim her birthright and take the Iron Throne, but she needs to learn to rule and her journey has been teaching her that. She is now in a position where she is stuck between her need to stay Mereen to establish stability and her want to continue her quest for the Iron Throne. I suspect the solution will emerge from her vision-quest with Drogon on the Dothraki sea and that it will drive her to Westeros by the end of Winds.
Once she is there, Dany will want to be a good queen, but I imagine she will learn that is not quite the same as what she needs to do in the grand scheme of things. And I suspect that lesson will be very similar to the lesson Jon will have learned in his arc, which will involve the true king/queen/knight theme and potential self-sacrifice, in my opinion.
The Transporter
Agree on the Starks and Jon staying put in the north. Well, excepting maybe Sansa. I think she dies in the Eyrie with Petyr. Aegon will die at the hands of the Lannisters. Too bad because I'm hoping he chokes Jaime Lannister to death. I don't see that happening though. Daenerys will still be fighting the slave masters because they won't give up easily.

We can absolutely say that protecting her freedmen is a more mature, responsible and noble pursuit than chasing a throne in Westeros, because that's how Dany's ADwD arc reads (echoing ideas that were present in ASoS as well). You could perhaps argue that George inadvertently introduced some deeper themes in the Meereen story line when all he wanted was to thread water while allowing some time to pass, but that would be incredibly contentious, and would stand out better as a basis for criticism, should it turn out to be true, than a solid basis for character analysis.
There is no reason for an unbiased reader to sympathize with Dany if she goes to Westeros at this point. Yeah, people will cheer for it because "the story is finally moving along!", which comes from their subconscious perception of a need for convergence, but Dany as a character has nothing but selfish reasons to go to Westeros. The Others don't come into consideration because she shouldn't know about them, and everything else is trumped by the needs of the freedmen she is responsible for.
"the story is finally moving along!", which comes from their subconscious perception of a need for convergence,
I think we agree that most readers will be more satisfied with Dany getting to Westeros than her staying in Essos because they will feel the story is moving along. But moving along towards what? In my opinion, "the story moving along" is a perception created by the writer and comes from the promises they make to the reader at the beginning of the story and how they subsequently get there.

I don't think so coconut. The north is not following Jon. Well, most of them won't. If he gets resurrected it will be by the white walkers. Robb's will is worthless. He was a failure who tried to become king. He failed. He didn't have the authority to legitimize a bastard.

LASUCOM EMERGED WINNER OF THE NIMSA NATIONAL INTER-UNIVERSITY QUIZ COMPETITION
By Bode Ekerin (4th year medical student of Lagos State University College of Medicine)
The Lagos State University College of Medicine emerged winner of the NIMSA inter-university quiz competition
at the Nigeria Medical Students' Association annual general assembly hosted by Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
The Annual General Assembly which also includes other events like the National inter-university quiz competition
was aimed at identifying and proffering solutions to challenges facing medical students in Nigeria, was well attended by students from all the medical schools in Nigeria.
The University of Ilorin and Lagos State University college of Medicine represented the western region at the national level after emerging first and second position respectively at the regional level some months ago. LASUCOM eventually emerged winner after conquering the 'BIG NAME' universities in Nigeria. Usman Dan Fodiyo University and University of Calabar emerged second and third position respectively.
Ojo Akinkunmi, a final year student of LASUCOM and a member of quiz team expressed his gratitude to LASUMSA and LASUCOM as a whole. In his words, he said "finally I am retiring a national champion. Thanks to everyone who was part of this history most especially to the LASUMSA executive council led by Mr. Femi Olulaja and to the best provost in the whole world Prof. Babatunde Solagberu, for sponsoring our flight to Zaria" .
Another student, Afolabi Halimot who is the vice president of the Lagos State University Medical Students' Association while speaking said " I am so happy we emerged winner. This is the first time LASUCOM will be representing the western region and this is also the first time we would emerge winner in a National Competition. I appreciate our provost Prof. Babatunde Solagberu for his love and support."

On Super Tuesday, voters from more than a dozen U.S. states voted in presidential primaries with important consequences for the candidates. We asked three scholars in different parts of the world to comment on the results and what they mean for the presidential race going forward.
What now for the Republicans?
In 2015, political pundits universally agreed that Donald Trump could not win the Republican nomination. Following Super Tuesday's results, it appears that everything we know about presidential nominating contests is wrong – Trump appears on the verge of becoming the Republican nominee.
… have to rally around Ted Cruz as the only way to stop Donald Trump.
Late last week it was reported that Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell had encouraged his Senate colleagues facing reelection to run ads distancing themselves and attacking Trump if they feel he is hurting their campaigns.
Two days later, the Senate's number two Republican, John Cornyn, echoed McConnell. Later the same day, Ben Sasse, a Republican senator from Nebraska with strong Tea Party backing, tweeted he would not vote for Trump and would instead look to support a third-party candidate.
The commonly held belief is that that Trump will lose badly in the general election. Republican senators are thus refocusing their efforts to be a bulwark against a Hillary Clinton presidency.
The Republican Party is in a state of utter chaos. At a meeting of Republican governors on February 20, Maine Governor Paul LePage disavowed Trump and called for his colleagues to do the same. Exactly one week later, he endorsed Trump's candidacy. This highlights that major figures in the party don't know what to do.
Perhaps most telling is the fact that conservative billionaires Sheldon Adelson and Charles and David Koch (who were prolific donors in 2012) have thus far failed to indicate any interest in this year's contest, despite saying in January 2015 that they were prepared to spend US$900 million to elect a Republican president.
If this was any other year, the Republican Party would be rallying around their presumptive nominee, and preparing for a general election contest. Instead, could we see the first brokered convention since 1952? Or will 2016 resemble 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt led a major third-party bid to deny fellow Republican William Howard Taft reelection? Is this what Adelson and the Kochs are waiting for?
Regardless, 2016 looks set to be the most interesting presidential election in decades.
This primary season, voters under age 30 have proven that they are both willing to vote even when it is inconvenient and poised to assert their influence on key races. Analyzing data from early contests in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina, my colleagues and I at CIRCLE observed two trends in youth voting.
First, young voters were overwhelmingly supporting Senator Bernie Sanders, and voting in high – but not record – numbers. On the other hand, Republican youth were coming out in record numbers but not rallying around just one candidate.
As Super Tuesday winds down, exit polls indicate that young Democratic voters had a strong showing and much of that was still motivated by their enthusiasm for Sanders. His surprise win in four states – Vermont, Colorado, Oklahoma and Minnesota – no doubt has to do with youth participation and enthusiasm. In all states except for Alabama, young voters chose Sanders over Hillary Clinton with comfortable margins – including the South, where he was expected to lose even among youth.
In Arkansas, where Bill Clinton served as governor, young voters stood out by choosing to support Sanders by 62 percent to 38 percent in spite of older voters' strong support for Clinton. In Oklahoma, 80 percent of youth voted for Sanders. Tonight's results suggest that Sanders' appeal to youth potentially crosses race, gender, and geographical boundaries.
On the Republican side, young people are less decisive than older voters, who overwhelmingly went for Trump. Voters under 30 supported Trump in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. But they backed Ted Cruz in Arkansas and Marco Rubio in Virginia. And Cruz and Rubio shared the top spot in Texas.
Compared to Democrat youth, the Republican youth were a smaller share of the voters in today's primaries, a result of the huge turnout rates by Republicans of all ages. In fact, the absolute number of youth who voted was at a record high – suggesting that young Republicans could be an important force in the general election.
Could Trump attract the odd Sanders voter?
After these results, it's clear to most that Bernie Sanders' run for the presidency will soon be over. His victories in Vermont and Oklahoma notwithstanding, Hillary Clinton is steaming toward the 2,382 delegates needed to win the nomination, and his chances of catching up to her are slim.
It's easy to think that Sanders' supporters will fall behind Clinton when he's no longer in the race, but don't be too sure. Sanders' surprising success so far has been based on his criticism of the establishment, his pleas for common sense, and his appeal to individuals – small donors. Who else in the race purports to represent the same ideals? Donald Trump.
True, Trump and Sanders could not be more different on their views on immigration, wealth inequality, race relations or, indeed, what "common sense" actually is. But so far, the campaigns have not focused on actual policy prescriptions. The debates have been about broad ideas and catchy slogans. And in some of the broader strokes, Trump and Sanders are strangely similar.
Trump has focused on running as a Washington outsider; Sanders considers himself a socialist, until this year one of the most "outside" of traditional American politics a candidate could claim to be. And like Trump, Sanders proves his mettle by raising millions without attracting a lot of big donors.
… allow people to reject the establishment without having to leave their own party.
Certainly, a great many Sanders supporters will move on to Clinton, some of them happily. But others will wish they had a different choice. Perhaps Trump can pull a few his way. And if that seems far-fetched, just think of everything else that's happened so far in this cycle.

Deodhar brings out the RadMission e-bike he purchased last fall after a sale from its manufacturer, Rad Power Bikes.
Last fall, Rad Power Bikes, an e-bike vendor who envisions "a world where transportation is energy-efficient, enjoyable and accessible to all," offered a sweet deal on one of their popular bikes – just irresistible enough to prompt many people to leap into the electric bike world.
In October, the company's RadMission e-bike went on sale for $499, a bike that can "do pretty much anything you need it to in the Boston metro," according to one Twitter user.
Now three months later, we checked in with one of the buyers to learn more about how things are going, and what it's been like to cruise through town with an extra boost.
Deodhar poses after putting on his biking gear which includes a helmet with cushioned side flaps to keep his ears warm during the winter, a reflective jacket for visibility and a saddle bag he can hang from the bike's rear rack.
Last week, we spoke with Aseem Deodhar, a Northeastern University alum who lives a car-free life and mostly gets around by biking and taking the T.
Deodhar has a few years of biking experience under his belt, but none with an e-bike. He began navigating cities on a bicycle in 2016 after moving to Bangalore, the capital city of Karnataka, a state in southern India, from his hometown of Pune near Mumbai.
For Deodhar, biking through traffic in Boston, a metro area with a population just over 4 million people, can feel like a world away compared to Bangalore, a city with a metro population of over 10 million.
"I was lucky enough to live in an area of the city with decent wide roads…enough that I didn't have to battle with cars every day," said Deodhar of his days biking in the largest city in the state of Karnataka.
We met up with him on a cloudy day last week at his home in Cambridge where the e-bike battery was tucked away atop a shoe rack in a small corner of the living room. About a foot in length, the battery was barely noticeable.
The e-bike battery charged on a shoe rack trucked away in a corner of Deodhar's living room next to a couple of bike helmets. The 504 watt-hour battery supports 4 levels of pedal assist allowing the e-bike to reach speeds of up to 20 mph.
He unplugged the battery and we made our way outside to the shed where he stores his e-bike and headed out for some errands around town.
We asked Deodhar what prompted him to finally make the jump and purchase an e-bike.
"The price!" he explained.
He had been on the search and browsing online for e-bikes, but with many in the $700-$800 range, Deodhar says the prices were "beyond what I was willing to pay."
"I always wanted to get (an e-bike), but the price was keeping me from it," he added.
Last year, then-Governor Charlie Baker's administration proposed plans for an e-bike rebate customers could access at the point of sale. Funds would come from the state's transportation bond bill, which would allow the Governor to borrow $1 million for the program, with $500 point-of-sale rebates for e-bike buyers and $750 rebates for low-income customers.
Prospective Buyers Await Details of Mass. E-Bike Rebate Program
But prospective buyers may not be able to access the rebate amounts until this summer, as the funding must go through the state's Capital Improvement Plan, a process which typically starts in March and wraps up in late spring or early summer.
Since purchasing his e-bike, Deodhar says the experience has been "extremely good."
Watch a video of Deodhar's e-bike grocery trip.
Now the owner of two bikes, he splits his rides between running errands in the Boston area on his e-bike, and using his regular bike for recreational trips on the weekends, when he visits towns and places well outside the Boston metro area such as Brattleboro in Vermont and Greenfield in western Massachusetts.
Riding on city streets among mixed traffic is when he says the e-bike's features, like the ability to accelerate quickly, is most advantageous.
"If I'm on a street or an intersection where there isn't a separated bike path, it's very easy to get that initial start from the red light and I don't feel like I'm slowing down cars like I would otherwise do on a regular bike," he explained.
Deodhar waits at a red light at the intersection of Western Avenue and Soldiers Field Road.
The battery's power can give e-bikers a quick start at intersections after the traffic light turns from red to green. This can make riding less stressful when there is no dedicated bike lane and bicyclists must negotiate space on the traffic lane with cars. A head start can increase visibility.
According to the Energy Information Agency, the average American home consumes 1,223 watt-hours every hour. At 504 watt-hours, the RadMission battery has enough juice to power the average American home for a little under 30 minutes – not an insignificant amount for a roughly foot-long battery that can easily go unnoticed on a shoe rack.
Even though the RadMission is a single-speed bike, it offers 4 levels of pedal assistance, helping riders climb up hilly streets.
"I have two moderate climbs on my commute and I don't even feel them anymore," said Deodhar.
"My favorite part is that I'm not out of breath after like a 30-minute bike ride. I can go longer distances without feeling like I have put in a lot of exertion… if I'm going to work I would rather not be out of breath and sweaty."
Because his e-bike doesn't have any suspension to cushion bumps in the road, Deodhar says he feels "every non-smooth portion of road," and would like to see cities do more to fix potholes on the streets.
As we made our way back from running errands, the odometer on Deodhar's e-bike display showed he had biked over 100 miles, in just a few months of winter riding.

Q: How to change color of a word in UITextView? Is it possible to change UITextView`s color in particular range or particular word? If a word appear more than once in a view then change the color of that word.

A: You'll need to use NSAttributedString. I recommend checking out AliSoftware's OHAttributedLabel which extends UILabel and adds support for setting text via NSAttributedString among other helpers. I'm using it in a current project and it's pretty fantastic.

A: I solve the problem. I created subclass of UILable and UITextView used core text (CATextLayer) as a layer on label/textview and NSAttributedString will store all the information about the font and color


A former executive at William Koch's Oxbow energy company alleges in a lawsuit that he was "interrogated" and "imprisoned" by Koch for two days, over false allegations of a kickback scheme.
"Martensen, promoted last year to senior vice president, said he was lured to the billionaire's 'Bear Ranch' near Aspen in March on false pretenses and questioned about anonymous allegations of wrongdoing made against him tied to a kickback scheme. The company sued him over the claims in Florida state court March 22, while he was allegedly being held against his will in Colorado."
"'Based on this surreptitious review of plaintiff's e-mails and voice communications, Koch learned that Martensen and others expressed concern of the legality of what they were doing on behalf of Oxbow and their distrust of upper management,' Martensen said in a complaint filed Oct. 11 in San Francisco federal court. 'As a result, William Koch promoted and implemented a plan to intimidate and discredit plaintiff for the purpose of chilling his speech and damaging his credibility.'"
While at "Bear Ranch," Martensen alleges in the complaint that he was "escorted to a small room and interviewed by two agents of Koch. The interview turned into an interrogation that lasted several hours." Afterward, he was escorted to an SUV and "served with his termination papers and a lawsuit."
