and cannot be associated with hafta and disassiciate with him and illegal actions. >> find out more about the new unity government and indeed this defection in libya on the website as well as the rest of the day's news. a need for speed turns america's stock market upside down. and meet the computers that can make hundreds of million in milliseconds for investors in the stock brutal. the s&p dropped steadily since interest rates have been raised.
markets in japan, brazil and others saw market fall 30%. a definition of the bear market. if you trade stocks, or participate times like these can try your soul. lately we have heard talks about china's economic slowdown, and the price of oil dropping stacks further. tonight, we are going to talk about another factor that might be feeding some of this volatility. to do that we want to draw comparison to global warming. as soon as we agree global warming is happening, if you believe the planet is heating up because of human activity, global warming is causing more weather volatility, more hurricanes, blizzards and typhoons. critics say the stop market is blowing up its own storms because the traders buying and selling larger volumes of shares.
in particular critics point to high frequency trading. hundreds of trades. tens of billions are conducted every day with price movement measured in fractions of a penny. the high volume speed will heat up markets and exaggerate price swings, making for a market filled with hurricanes, blizzards and typhoons. if you stay in it, you better be prepared to ride out the storms. all this speaks volumes about the transformation that stock exchanges have united gone in recent years. as ali velshi reported in 2014, it's because the need for speed is the holy grail traders. >> reporter: back on december 5th, 2013, something remarkable happened at the closing bell. on that day a company called ultasalon cosmetics and freying rens released its -- fragrance
released its earnings reports milliseconds after 4:00p.m.. that fell short. high frequency trading computers sold 14,000 sells of the stock, and 121 each, totally $1.6 million worth of stock. at 4:00p.m. not quite 1 second, the stock closed at $118 a share. losing $3 in less than a second. in that rapid sell off of stock within the one second after 4:00p.m. analysts estimated high frequency traders could have pocketed as much as $28,000, a feat only they could have pulled off, and all perfectly legal. high frequency traders and their complex computer formulas, operating near the speed of light turned what happened on the floor of new york stock exchange into little more than theatre. look behind the curt in and compete.
>> the only participants in the time frame are the machines, humans are able to receive information to act on it. in that time frame. >> nanex's founder is a critic of high frequency trading and has watched it evolve. it's grown to hundreds of firms spread across the globe to new york, chicago, london and hong kong. it is so fast it's not measured in seconds, it's measured in milliseconds, it's one second chopped off into 1,000 parts. it takes 300 milliseconds to blink. 200 milliseconds to recognise a word. a high free sequency trader, it takes 1 millisecond. these days, if you are not trading at those speeds, you are toast. it's not just speed. high frequency traders have their own special sauce.
that is a complicated formula called a black box algorithm. costing anywhere from half a million to 10 million. they scour the market for cues, including what stocks others want to by or sell, prices moving higher or lower, changes in changing volume. they react to key words. twitter feeds and news reports in the blink of an eye. tens of thousands of times a day, generating profits of a fraction of a penny per trade. that all adds up. >> if you have an algorithmic code that can do that, literally hundreds of thousands of millions of times it prints money. high frequency firms, some bragging that they never had a losing day. >> high frequency trading helped to set prices from everything that traded - stocks, bonds, futures, commodities, everything
from apple stock to the price of gas, orange juice to the price of mortages, and some think there's nothing to worry about, economist. >> are the markets broken? i would say not. i can think back 150 years ago when the telegraph was invented. you had many of the same issues arrive. same thing when computers or the telephone came to the trading area. for mum and pop, focussing on the long term, being an okay. >> others call for more regulation, saying high frequency traders have an unfair advantage. regulators are investigating relationship with exchanges. the outgoing commissioner calls traitors who use high frequency trading programs cheetahs. he worries that they and high powered technology are running
wild in the mark. >> technology is great. we love technology, i don't love technology out of markets. currently there's no rules or regulations. zero, nada. i'm concerned that the high frequency cheatas may be rorting the market. >> regulators say high frequency trading tributed to a crash in 2010. where the dow jones fell a shocking 1,000 points in five minutes, erasing a trillion in market value only to recover a few minutes later. on april 23rd, 2013, high frequency raiding algorithms reacted to a hacked associated press account which said president obama was injured in an explosion, the false report fuelled a flash crash that erased $121 million of value from the s&p 500 before it rebounded.
the real fear is next time the market will not recover from a flash crash. and hundreds of millions will be wiped out in a matter of minutes. >> of course not everyone agrees that high free immensy trading represents a threat to market stability. the author of high frequency trading, a popular guide to strategies and feeding systems - she told ali velshi that aggressive high frequency trading is balanced and good for the market. >> thank you for being with us. >> you heard my - almost an indictment of some of the parts of high frequency trading. i take it you take a high frequency position. >> i love the analogy. there's so much change, the reason is data. the records were not kept
accurate enough over the past decades, where there is climate change happening now or not. this is not dissimilar in all. if you look at 20 years ago, the only quotes available to investors were daily open high low and closing prices printed in the newspapers the following day. now we are inundated with data. every inventor could track online. our firm of analysis on flash crashes, and whether - using whatever data is available, the flash crashes today, are not more frequent than there were 20, 30, 40 years ago. >> i used to work on the floor of the new york stock exchange as a reporter, back in the days when they had three floors, and there was an open outcry, the fact is when a stock started to go down, some human had to sell
or buy the stock from another human. you didn't have market wide flash crashes... >> you did. >>..there was intervention, the ability, more detail than viewers need, but specialists whose responsibility it was to buy up certain stocks. there were not days where the market would be down 3, 4, 5, 6, 7%, and bounce back in the course of a day and no one knew what happened. reported. >> i was there on the floor, i never witnessed such a things. on the floor you witnessed the trading. you never saw things go green to red and suddenly not come back. . >> that is the thing with flash crashes, they are in today, they go down, and they come back. if you look at the famous flash crash of may 2010.
investors who stuck it out and didn't panic, they thought they better, at the end of the day, the prices went up. we measure prices. all going back 40 years, and compare the low to the open on the day. you would be surprised how many there are in the security. the reason you never see something exceeding 5% is all the exchanges have a built in system where if the price drops more than 5%. the system halts trading. >>was 10%, it's down to 7, 13 and 20. you can get to 7% before anyone does anything. >> yes, yes. but the bottom line, the flash crashes were common going back 10-20 years ago. there was one period in the history of the u.s. financial markets, and it's roughly from
the 1990s, to 1995, when there was an unusually low number of flash crashes. so there were few flash crashes over that period of time. if you look back through the '80s, '70s, and late '90s, and 2000, the numbers is high. >> how would you respond to critics that say that the big swings that we looked at. let's go beyond flash crashes. big market swings that are, generally speaking, sentiment driven are amplified. there's a situation that sentiment decided to drive the market down in the case of the dow, 1,000 points, and high frequency trading, because it looks for signals and sentiments, bushes it down. gives it greater velocity. >> in most crashes, the traders follow institutional leads. so the institutions are the
ones. so institutions are pensions funds, hedge funds and other large players in the market who don't take short-term position, they take longer term views. they initiate the pressure in the flash crashes, and high frequency traders respond to the kind of pressures in the market and continue to trade around it. >> you think this is what happened in the major moves that we saw in august. >> yes. >> it was triggered by institutional sellers, high frequency traders followed that. >> yes, that's our conclusion. again, the power of computerized traders is not in the speed. it's in data analysis. so you are right. the people blink or forget blinking. people can capture only 24 frames per second. and this is what you see.
>> this goes faster. >> thank you for joining us. managing director at able alpha trading, she's an author the keys to success in the stock market are speed and location. for a first-hand look, we didn't have to go to wall street, our team went to new jersey. that's next. >> farm workers striking in mexico. >> all that tension is about what's happening right now. >> you can work very hard and you will remain poor. >> what's the cost of harvesting america's food? >> do you see how it would be hard to get by on their salary? >> yeah. >> today, they will be arrested. >> they're firing canisters of gas at us. >> emmy award-winning investigative series. >> we have to get out of here.
right now in the financial world, it's the equivalent of an arms race, for high frequency traders, fibre optic cable is the cable of joys. you won't be surprised at how much traders spend on cable to shave off a few seconds off the trading time. as ali velshi reported in 2014, high frequency traders are ready
to pay big bucks for the privilege of line. >> reporter: back in the 1920s, you'd have to wait about 20 minutes at a ticker tape to a stock. now trading information is almost instantaneous, travelling at the speed of light. it's so fast only the fastest pace. this is the trading floor of the new york stock exchange. it's almost completely an anachronism. humans are almost not needed. the vast majority are traded here. to understand how it works, you need to go across the hudson river though new jersey, now the markets are almost completely computerized. networks and server farms at five sites in new jersey are happen. i'm in new jersey, about 30 miles from manhattan.
this high security building is the new york stock exchanges's data center. it's here, not on the floor of the new york stock exchange, where almost all the trades take place. if you are a high speed trader, looking for a fraction of a second advantage, you have to be close to the server farm as you can be. that's co-location. you pay to have your server in that building. and only the biggest players can do that. that shorter distance matters. even if it's only a few feet. according to one estimate. having a connection that is one mill second faster than the competition could mean a 100 million a year for a high frequency trader. critics charge that the co-location access is a former front running, buying of stock before you do, and selling it to you for a higher price. and it's drawing the scrutiny of state and federal regulators, concerned that it might provide advantages not available to
regular investors. >> high frequency trading successful. to participate in that environment, you have to get direct feeds from the exchanges. one will cost you 60,000 a month. so, really, to get the - to participate at that level, there's few that can. the need for speed doesn't end with co-location. high frequency traders are willing to pay for any microsecond advantage they can get. even one between two different exchanges. right now, for example, there's a fibre optic cable linking the new york stock exchange servers in new jersey, and nasdaq servers in qatar abbing new jersey. a higher speed network will link the exchanges, the laser looks like wally, and uses technology originally developed for the department of defense. >> when our network goes live,
it will have the time it takes to move price information between two locations, in imperial terms it will take about 780 microsecond round trip time, and bring it to 350 micro seconds. >> to put that in perspective. that's a 0.00036 of a second savings. imperceptible to you and me, potentially worth millions to a high frequency trader. this quest to trim a fraction of a second extends to the time it takes stock information to travel between london and new york. there are 12 fibre optic cables crossing the atlantic, the last engineered over a decade ago. a new route is plauded, following a straighter line. >> we managed to shave off by beating it, straighter than the existing cable, about 500km off
that route, off the cable. that makes it about five milliseconds faster than the fastest cable today. building a fibre optic table is not cheap. the cost and the 5 mill second advantage - about 200 million. >> what is fascinating about the cable is the information is traversing through this little fibre here. of all the cable, the relevant par are the six. fibres peers that you are looking at here. this. and carry power to amplify the system. it's fascinating to thing there's 5,000 linking the two. >> it doesn't end there, there's talk of taking a laser network ships. >> it's loosely coined as an air
bridge, it's blimps, platforms, geostationary at 70,000, talking to one another over the same technology, connecting new york to london. it would do it in 30 milliseconds. the price tag $500 million. >> they are the minds behind the machines, and high featured trading. meat the keecks out of college, building black boxes and laughing all the way to the bank.
>> coming up tonight, we'll have the latest... >> does the government give you refugee status? >> they've marched to the border. >> thousands have taken to the streets here in protest. >> this is where gangs bury their members.
>> they're tracking climate change. >> on hard earned, inspiring new beginnings... >> these workers got the fight in them, they just don't know it. >> facing up to old demons... >> i am really, really nervous... >> lives hanging in the balance... >> it's make or break... i got past the class... >> hard earned pride... hard earned respect... hard earned future... a real look at the american dream hard earned only on al jazeera america if you think a degree in science engineering or maths is in the sexy, think again, the skills are cool by wall street firms that design complex high
speeding algorithms, formulas generating profits and controversy. the people that write them are called quantitative analysts or quants. ass ali velshi reported, some are trading quant traders by offering degrees. to under this phenomena, let's go back to 1984, and a cold movie called revenge of the nerds. [ chanting ] >> in revenge. nerds, maths and science students are depicted as gooeds who are tormented by the jocks. but even back then, the nerds understood the tremendous power of the computers which they could leverage to their benefit. >> gilbert. >> that was 30 years ago. >> the matter of high frequency is simply a matter of timing. >> today many maths, science and
physics students are using their formidable skills to join the ranks of the financial industry. the stevens institute of technology has a magnificent view of technology. here is the thing, don't be fooled by the setting. what goes on at stevens, could shape many of the fortunes crossing the hudson river. stephen's institute of technology is one of about 100 colleges and universities in the united states. that offered degrees in financial engineering. the classes have totals like applied differential equations and extreme problems for elip tick programmes. at the height of the programme is black boxes that can generate millions in profits for high-frequency trading firms. demand. students might go on their own,
with the spirit of entrepreneurship and create health funds. ask mitch helperly, one of 97 master students. we design our own black box. highly successful is an atm in the sense that it's always generating money. and you don't necessarily have to be there, which is the best increases. >> across the hudson river, new york university has a more prestigious programme, but it's not at the stern school of business, rather it's next door at the n.y.u. institute of mathematical sciences. >> this is a competitive programme to get into. this year, we have roughly 900 applications for a class size of about 40 students. so we often jokingly say it's more difficult to get into the
harvard. >> the professor was in the quantitative strategies group before coming to n.y.u., and he says there's no substitute to being in the financial capital of the united states. >> if you want to learn quantitative finance, and you want to learn from the best, this is the place to be. >> these students agree, and are willing to spend $50,000 in tuition over 18 months to study financial engineering. why? maybe because graduates have gone on to work at credit suisse, morgan stanley and goldman sachs, and earn a million base salary of $85,000, the first year out of school. more impressively, a few years down the line with a little experience down their belt, a quantity may command a salary of a quarter of a million with a bonus of $500,000 or more. >> the reward could be a sense of achievement.
that you have done something great. and the money that comes about it. if you did something great, it can be measured. i can disintegrate. >> with a $100% placement rate for students in the maths and finance programme, it seems like the opportunities on wall street are limitless for students with a degree in financial engineering. and in the end it may be the nerds who have the last laugh. >> how faster we going. >> i have cruise control set at 35 and today. i'm david shuster, in for ali velshi. thank you for joining us, have a great night everybody. >> we're here to fully get into the nuances of everything that's going on, not just in this country, but around the world. getting the news from the people who are affected. >> people need to demand reform... >> ali velshi on target.

Can I ask how you define faith? When you say "…"individual truth" is superior to verified evidence and facts, when, in fact the converse should be what we all strive for, that verified evidence and facts support our beliefs, rather than having our beliefs force us to find facts to support those beliefs"… from the way I think of faith, that would mean there is no place for that in our lives. I mean, isn't the difference in faith that there are no supporting facts?
I find this fascinating in my own life because I totally agree with what you said, and yet I know there are things that I hold as true (for the moment) because I feel in my heart that they are true. Regardless of fact or evidence. So, I do hold my personal experience and truth to be of more importance to me than a generally accepted truth. But does the fact that I hold truth to be mutable and that I'm willing (even look forward to) being proven wrong make it less 'dangerous'? Genuinely asking cause it's something I think about?
"The Truth" is what ever I believe it to be … as long as I convince you, by my method of my presenting "facts", that indeed "it" is "The Truth".
"Faith" is "True" and relevant only to the individual; unless their belief(s) damage others: at which time 'faith' must be replaced by another word to explain the cause of one's actions.
Too many people think truth and facts are interchangeable. That's bunk and instinctively we all know it, but most people JUST DON'T CARE.
For example: white lies. We know they exist. We all use them to grease social interactions into acceptability and we choose to ignore them, even when the facts say otherwise… until it is in our better interest not to ignore them. Running into the boss outside of work when you're supposed to be tele-commuting and you say "Yup, just out for a bit of lunch and to get the mail from the post office box!" And you're in swim trunks and flip flops.
It is true that you're one of the better workers. So she cuts you slack… even though she shouldn't have. And now the marker is due.
And you resent it – which you should not, but you do because the fact is that you should have been working and you were not… but you feel entitled to a little down time because you're one of the better workers.
Gore Vidal noted how people say 'I feel' nowadays rather than 'I think'. My girlfriend, bless her, is a little inclined to believe in fortune telling and spirits. When I tell her it's tosh she says 'there's more than one truth.' I don't agree. There is one truth, one set of verifiable facts. We just don't know all of it yet.
It's important to recognize that value judgments are a personal truth. The things one does or supports that are based on those values need the interplay of actual facts and those subjective values.

Hockey Depression
If you have followed my blog, you would have noticed I haven't posted much in the past week and a half. Not that I am Johnny on the Spot with my posts anyway, but I am sure the four of you (including mom) want to know my thoughts on the quick exit by the Capitals.
I could have written something following the loss, but it would not have been kind in the very least to the boys I have followed since childhood. And that isn't really fair. I wanted to give it some time, let the Caps sort of explain themselves and wait for the raw emotions to subside.
Looking back, all I feel is immense disappointment. Their season was one for the history books. We have seen how crazy good this team can be, even if they have to do it after two really bad periods. Like Mike Green said, it was a missed opportunity and we will have to wait another 82 games for another crack at it. Right now that seems a lifetime away, probably longer for the 23 guys in that locker room too.
Before, during the rebuilding phase, we could laud over individual achievements of Alex Ovechkin, Nick Backstrom and Mike Green. This year, when those individual accolades fall to the wayside, we were certain it was because the Capitals would sacrifice that hardware for Lord Stanley's Cup. But that didn't happen, not this year.
The playoff series in particular, I felt Alex Ovechkin and Nick Backstrom were on an island compared to the rest of the team. The pressure for one line to produce not only 5 on 5 but also on the power play was just too much with no goal support. The Capitals blue line only mustered two goals for the entire seven game series. Alex Semin, Mike Green and Tomas Fleischmann were held off the scoresheet completely. For the Capitals to win, they needed those players to be their best, they weren't.
Mike Green's worst enemy is himself. If it is not his hockey stick that is no longer in production, then it is him changing his game to answer the critics. Hearing his interview a few days following the end of the season was in a way a bit of a let down in terms of explanation of the way he played.
After not being picked for Team Canada at the Olympics, many of his critics suddenly had a foot hold on complaints of the defensemen's style of play. I understand that, many think he is less of a defenseman and more of a forward on the blue line. But Green took that as a personal insult and changed his game to prove his critics wrong. What most of those who are Green haters fail to see, is that Green is a pretty good defender and a hell of an offensive threat. That is what he has always been, no more, no less. And that is what Caps' fans loved about him. But it got to Green, and he changed how he played at the worst possible moment, the playoffs.
You can't blame Green for everything, there were others that could have put forth a better effort in the post season. With hindsight 20/20, it is easy to pick apart where coaches and players went wrong. Like I always say, sometimes you lose when you play a game, it's what you learn from it and how you adjust for next time. That means looking forward with the lessons we have learned.
Tomorrow, I will take a look at what is ahead of the Capitals, and my thoughts on where the team should go next. That is cause to shake the hockey blues.
Caps Notes:
Some more accolades for the Capitals have spewed out this week. The Players Association came out the finalist for the Ted Lindsey award, and much like the Hart finalist Alex Ovechkin is joined by Sidney Crosby and Henrik Sedin. George McPhee gets recognition for his work in the first ever General Manager award. Jose Theodore got the nod for the Bill Masterson award given to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
I've thought of this before: Green, Playoffs, President's Trophy, Stanley Cup
I had a feeling after game 6 that the Caps weren't headed to the second round, so maybe I had a couple extra days to get the disappointment and depression out of the way. I agree about Mike Green and to add to that - I think he couldn't control his emotions at all and perhaps should have styed on the bench for a while - who knows - just a thought.

The radical empiricist theory of the Quartz & Sejnowski target article would result in a brain that could not act. The attempt to bolster this position with computational arguments is misleading and often just wrong. Fortunately, other efforts are making progress in linking neural and cognitive development.

Our programming languages are often structured around the problem domain of compilers and the archaic (for most of us) task of converting things people understand to a thing the computer can execute.
Why don't our languages have deeper support for the ways we reason about problem domains or the ways we struggle to reason. For example, why aren't state machines and checking their sanity (or marking their unsoundness) a thing in pretty much any language?
The unhelpful answer is "because you can write a state machine in library code". Which leads me to ask, why don't we have popular state machine clones? Why is there no xUnit or Sinatra of state machines that is widely cloned to fresh and exciting languages?
The cynical answer is "because many programmers don't want to think that hard". The optimistic answer is that there's room for someone to capture this problem space as well as xUnit did for programmer testing or Sinatra did for turning URL-like strings into method calls. You could be famous!

How can you tell if an internal wall is load bearing?
Follow internal walls up through your structure If there is another wall, a floor with perpendicular joists, or other heavy construction above it, chances are that it's a load-bearing wall. However, if there is an unfinished space like an empty attic without a full floor, the wall probably is not bearing a load.
Can a 2x4 wall be load bearing?
If it's an exterior wall it's almost always load bearing. If the joists are not continuous over the wall (they are cut short and meet on top of the wall) it is definitely load bearing. ...

Watson Land Company is pleased to announce that the Eastside Water Treatment Facility in Chino has been named the top national reservoir tank of 2015 by the Steel Tank Institute/Steel Plate Fabricators Association. We designed and constructed this 4-million gallon reservoir tank last October to be both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. As part of a commitment to community beautification, the tank prominently features a landscape mural.
Every year, the Steel Tank Institute/Steel Plate Fabricators Association Annual Product honors the highest quality construction projects that utilize steel as the material of choice. The award-winning projects demonstrate steel's flexibility, strength, durability, and other positive qualities across a wide array of industries. We are proud that our project took the top honor in the reservoir tank division, which is one of many categories recognized annually.
The 4-million gallon storage tank was completed as part of regional water improvements, which allowed for the development of Watson Industrial Park Chino. In addition to the tank, we constructed 1.5 miles of 24" distribution lines that are powered by a booster pump station.
We are both humbled and honored when we are recognized for our achievements by respected organizations like STI/SPFA.

Q: how to merge and remove conflicts in git when pull from server We are working as a team of 4 peoples, our project deployed in openshift
and we are commit,push and pull with git repository.. When some one commit more changes other have to pull it for make a update in our system.. But while pull from the server the master get conflict and we did't know how to reslove it.
Every time we delete the file and clone again from server.. As reference with stackoverflow, I solve the problem with team->merge tool
 but it does't work in many conditions.
Help me. Thanks in advance.

A: After pull from git repository you get conflict msg.. then you should merge the code using merge.. From that you find the conflict file.. Then undo the changes, then click pull again..
now Do the changes again and commit it.

A: It looks like you are all modifying the same files at the same time, that can be difficult.  Usually you will just need to manually merge the files when you do a git pull.  You could also try using rebase.  That should move your changes aside, pull in the remote changes, then reply your changes on top of it.  I have had success with that in the past.

Most people's go-to dish using cabbage? Cole slaw. My family's go-to cabbage dish? Asian slaw. Every year when the garden cabbages begin to form into tightly-bound, edible bowling balls, one of my parents is sure to whip up some Asian slaw. The flavorful spin on cole slaw is lighter and seemingly fresher than your typical mayonnaise-laden slaw. Plus, it will save you a lot of saturated fat, and add some healthier fats in their too.
We make this dish different nearly every time, depending on the family member that's doing the slicing and dicing and on what fresh ingredients we have available. But below you'll find a recipe for our latest cabbage creation. We've infused it with fresh cilantro and topped it off with salty peanuts to create a bowl of slaw that's worth more than just a pretty picture. Go for a red cabbage, if available, for an extra eye-pleasing element. Plus, as I mentioned in this post, red cabbage has special phytonutrients shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that may do a bunch of other cool things for your body too.
But if green cabbage is what's growing near you, than it will work too. It will still bring a healthy dose of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber to the table. So pick your cabbage and get chopping. Enjoy as a generous side, or serve atop a burger of your choice.
Also, just two days left to enter my giveaway for some summery treats from Stonyfield's.
In large bowl, toss together cabbage, carrot, cucumber, cilantro, and red onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. Stir into slaw ingredients. Garnish with peanuts and scallions, and serve, or allow a couple hours for flavors to marinade before garnishing.
Before serving, taste, and determine if you'd wish to drizzle a little toasted sesame oil on top.
oh this looks fabulous- I love that you added peanuts!
Definitely looks way better than the typically heavy, overly-rich coleslaw to me!
It not only looks great but sounds so delicious. I love red cabbage for the vibrant color it adds to a plate.
I choose this over coleslaw any day! Asian flavors top mayo. Constantly.
What a beautiful looking salad! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
tightly-bound, edible bowling balls…I love it! That's what cabbage is, for sure! I love this mayo-free option…save! Looks amazing!
Grace, this looks so fantastic – love the purple cabbage! Slaw is one of those foods that I could literally eat all day and with these ingredients, I may have to!
Sounds delicious. I like cabbage slaw so much more with an asian dressing instead of with mayo!


A thermodynamically reversible process is one in which all the changes occurring in any part of the process are exactly reversed when it is carried out in opposite direction.
It has to be carried out in infinitesimal amount and hence require infinite time. Therefore changes in this process are very slow.
At all time during the process, the driving force for the change is opposed by a restraining force infinitesimally smaller than the driving force.
It can be reversed by an infinitesimal increase in opposing force.
The work produced in the reversible process is maximum.
The process which occurs suddenly or spontaneously without the restriction of occurring in the successive stage of infinitesimal quantities.
In an irreversible process work done in the forward direction and in the backward direction are not equal.
If the initial and final stages are specified, the internal energy change would always be the same, whether the process has been affected by reversibly or irreversibly.
In an irreversible process, since the work done(dw) in two opposite direction are unequal, the heat transfer(dq)would also be unequal.
All the natural processes are irreversible.

Q: Change colour of text on click using jQuery I am new to jQuery and I have no idea about where to begin with this. On my webpage I have text and I want to put at the top four squares where the user can click on a square and this will change the colour of the text.
I am hoping to make the squares using CSS with the squares being red, yellow, green and black.
From this I need to create a colour picker using jQuery where the user will click a square and this will change the text into the appropriate colour.

A: http://jsbin.com/emical/1/edit

TEST DIV THAT WILL CHANGE COLOR

...where eg: instead of "red" you can also use HEX: "#f00" or "#ff0000" or "rgb()", "rgba()"... etc etc :)
CSS:
.picker{

  cursor:pointer;
  margin:3px;
  width:30px;
  height:30px;
  float:left;

}

jQuery:
$('.picker').each(function(){
  $(this).css({background: $(this).data('color')}); // set BG color for every element
}).click(function(){
  $('#test').css({color: $(this).data('color')});  // change Target's text color on click

Ramakrishna and religious pluralism
But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. (Śrī Rāmakṛṣṇa)
In the month of March 2011, the 176th anniversary of the birth of Śrī Rāmakṛṣṇa (Ramakrishna) is celebrated. During his lifetime Ramakrishna experimented with the devotional practices of Hinduism, Islam and Christianity and was convinced that the source of all the world's religions is the same. Ignorance, he said, is the belief that God is outside oneself and far away. True knowledge is realizing that God is within oneself. When one has that true knowledge, and realizes also that God is within all living beings, then there is no longer any place for such concepts as "infidel," "heretic" and "apostate." There are no foreigners and no aliens; there are none who do not belong, none who cannot be forgiven, none who cannot be unconditionally loved.
On January 13, 2011, in Toronto, Shāh Karīm al-Ḥussaynī, the fourth Āgā Khān, the current imām of the Shia Imami Nizari Ismailis, delivered the Lafontaine-Baldwin lecture at University of Toronto. The lecture was broadcast on CBC Radio. In that lecture, His Highness made the observation that all the great empires in the world have thrived during the times when they have embraced what we now call multiculturalism and religious pluralism, and they have fallen when the inclusive attitudes of embracing all ethnic groups, all linguistic groups and all religions has given way to xenophobia and religious intolerance. Just one of the examples he gave was that of the Islamic empire of al-Andalus in what is now southern Spain. This nation lasted for more than 700 years, from 711 until 1492, and was a vibrant center of Muslim, Jewish and Christian cross-fertilization and exchange. In 1492, when the intolerant Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabel I of Castile recaptured Granada and began the reconquest of Spain, one of the most brutal and ugly episodes in human history took place. The Spanish Inquisition was a time when Jews and Muslims were required to convert to Catholicism or be expelled from Spain, and many of those who chose to convert were there examined by the Inquisition and found to be heretical. They were then handed over to the state and subjected to punishment, often in the form of being burned alive in public squares. The intolerance and brutality of the Spanish Inquisition set the tone for the treatment of native peoples in lands colonized by the Spanish in the Americas and Africa. Most of the shameful European conquest of the Americas can be seen as an aftermath of the collapse of morality in the wake of the descent from the spirit of multiculturalism and religious pluralism that began in 1492 and then gained momentum for several centuries afterward.
Intolerance of all kinds is contagious. Some have argued that it is innately human and that people are naturally disposed to be suspicious of outsiders and to blame them for nearly everything that has gone wrong in the world. Indeed, it is difficult to find any part of the world that has not at one time or another see manifestations of xenophobia. It does not follow from that, however, that people must be driven by suspicion and hatred. Nor does it follow that to be driven by forces other than suspicion, fear and hatred is to be somehow inhuman. Throughout history there have been people who have dedicated their lives to overcoming aggression, and the fearful mentality that gives rise to it. The Jina and the Buddha of ancient India, Laozi and Mozi and Mengzi of ancient China, Socrates and Aristotle and the Stoics and Skeptics of ancient Greece, and countless prophets and priests and philosophers and mystics since then have tirelessly articulated and lived the message of universal love—of loving one's neighbor and loving the stranger just as one loves oneself and one's own family.
In his address in Toronto, the Aga Khan observed that the world has become so interconnected through communication networks that whatever happens anywhere is soon known—and often imitated— everywhere, and social and political movements spread like wildfire. At the time of his talk, the protests in Tunisia were just beginning to be widely known, and the unrest in Egypt, Libya, Bahrain and Yemen had not yet unfolded, nor had the massive protests in Wisconsin—the largest since the protests against the Vietnam war in the 1960s and '70s. Given how rapidly cataclysmic change can take place around the world, he said, we human beings do not have much time to learn the important message that love is a much better strategy for survival and well-being than animosity. Given the efficiency of the technology of destruction now distributed around the world, failure to find our way back to civilization could quickly bring our unruly species to an end.
As the celebration of the birth of Ramakrishna takes place in Vedanta centers around the world, it is a time to reflect on his words and deeds, and on the words and example of the Aga Khan, and on the words and teachings of all men and women who have lived and died to establish peace and harmony and justice for all living beings on this earth. In the spirit of Ramakrishna, I personally find myself reflecting on the words of George Fox, written in a letter from prison in England in 1656, a time when men and women lost their lives or, like Fox, were imprisoned for following the "wrong" sort of Christianity:
…be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come; that your life and conduct may preach among all sorts of people, and to them. Then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every one; whereby in them ye may be a blessing, and make the witness of God in them to bless you: then to the Lord God you shall be a sweet savour, and a blessing.

Bob Samborski, trombone, has a love love of music which is contagious in his performing style. Not only is he comfortable playing trombone in virtually all musical styles - including Jazz, Classical, Latin, Pop, Swing, Dixieland, and Klezmer - but Bob is one of the most multi-talented and versatile musicians around and is a highly-skilled pianist and percussionist. After studying music at the University of Illinois, Bob embarked on a professional career which included stints of varying lengths with such notable performing artists as Elvis Presley, Glen Campbell, Mel Tormé, Cab Calloway, Sonny & Cher, and the Glenn Miller Orchestra - to name a few. Bob has been performing with the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band since January 2007, a musical match he feels was made in Heaven.


When I heard about Elon Musk and SpaceX launching a Tesla roadster "driven" by an astronaut dummy into outer space, I was torn between finding it awesome and inane. On one hand, Starman has a "DON'T PANIC!" sign on the dashboard, which is a complete nerdgasm for me. On the other hand, Starman could potentially become a "biothreat" to Mars one day, which is certainly a downer. But in the end, it took me right back to the opening scene of the film "Heavy Metal," and there is very little that's more badass than that! The launch of Starman certainly seemed like something of which Commander Schwartz would approve.
I never even saw Heavy Metal until a few years ago, but it is pure, red-blooded awesomeness.

Profiling a Windows service may fail if the service runs under the System, LocalService or NetworkService account. If the failure occurs, profiling will stop shortly after starting and the service will not run.
The message "System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed" may be written to the profiler log.
To work around this problem, run the service under a specific user account instead of a predefined system account.
This failure happens because ANTS Memory Profiler sets a registry value when it enables profiling: if the service runs as System, LocalService or NetworkService, the profiler cannot acquire the correct value, and sets an erroneous value instead. The service then uses the erroneous registry value to generate a write path: because the value is incorrect, the path is unusable, and the service fails. Running under a specific user account ensures ANTS Memory Profiler can read the system user environment variable, and will set the correct registry value.


This June, Woodlands Gallery's SAP returns with two new artists: Shelley Vanderbyl and Stephanie McGregor. To meet your demand for local work from local artists, our Supplementary Artist's Program features contemporary emerging artists from Manitoba for a limited engagement. This mutual experiment provides artists with gallery exposure and builds on our mandate to support Canadian artists. Nurtured, our second special exhibition will showcase work created in the context of healing. Nurtured will feature artworks from Shelley Vanderbyl and Stephanie McGregor which relate to their unique and restorative artistic processes.
McGregor's paintings are fantastically rendered in acrylic, tenderly addressing her need to nurture beauty in her small world. In Guardians, her loving depictions of animals serve as spiritual inspiration and magical guides. The series was inspired by a reoccurring dream of a bear, prompting her interest in portraying animals that people form strong psychic connections with.
McGregor struggles with infertility and her series, Little Lost Ones, are painted with children in mind. She explained how she hopes to convey "how delicate nature is; that it should be protected and treated with kindness." McGregor wishes her dear works will adopted and cared for in turn.
Stephanie McGregor holds a Bachelor of Illustration from Sheridan College as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Education from the University of Manitoba. She lives happily with her husband and their pets in a secluded cabin in the woods, close to an idyllic river in Manitoba. She has been inspired by nature from a young age and enjoys sharing the beauty she sees in her world through her creativity. McGregor is self-published illustrator and also illustrated two books by Darla O'Rourke of Lil' Irish Ventures Inc, which were published by We Communications West Inc. Her paintings are held in private collections.
Shelley Vanderbyl is an expressive painter currently residing in Winnipeg. Vanderbyl was an inaugural member of Ace Art's Cartae open school; the program challenges traditional art school paradigms with an emphasis on self teaching and peer-to-peer learning. Her work has been in group and solo exhibitions across Canada, and was recently featured in a solo show in Gstaad, Switzerland. In 2016, the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada honoured Vanderbyl by presenting one of her paintings to His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. Her work is in corporate and private collections across Canada, Sweden, Austria, the UK, and Switzerland. She works both with paint and plaster in various combinations. Her pieces beckon the viewer to an absorbing in-person experience - due to either their minuscule size, their surface texture, or the nature of their installation.
Vanderbyl was inspired to paint Memory Tales while listening to vintage recordings of fairy tales and nursery rhymes after the birth of her eldest daughter. She painted the images as she remembered them from her own childhood. The oil paintings on card stock are antiqued: edges aged and darkened to reflect the age of the story or nursery rhyme.
Vanderbyl's Medicine Tins or Pocket Paintings express her deep want and need to heal. She imagines them as a respite, paintings meant to inspire relaxation and restoration. Many of the images are inspired by her memories of travelling through Europe, in particular impressions of Switzerland which remains a remembered site of solace for Shelley Vanderbyl. The unique vintage tins are fit with gessoed paper and minutely layered with loose brush strokes, allowing spontaneous landscapes to emerge and coalesce.
Both Vanderbyl and McGregor display a devotion to simple living, to helping and healing people through art as medicine.
Please join us Thursday, June 8th for a celebration of these artists and the opening reception of Nurtured.

Pieces of the Past
Artifacts, Documents, and Primary Sources
from Letchworth Park History
A Description of the Pratt & Letchworth, 1872
Detail from Advertising Envelope, Pratt and Letchworth
The following account is appeared in the New York Times, January 27, 1872, on page 1. It was part of a multi-part article entitled "Our State Institutions" and was found in part XX. The full article is on the "Buffalo Iron Works" and covers the major companies in Buffalo. We present below the part of the article that deals with the Mr. Letchworth's business. You will note that he was an innovator in both the application of technology and in dealing with labor conditions.
(Please note - although we have maintained the original spelling and capitalization, we did break the material up into the paragraphs found below. The original description was combined into one paragraph)
"About a half a mile beyond these works are the malleable iron-works of PRATT & LETCHWORTH, in which Mr. Pratt is also largely interested. These works are only second in importance to two or three other establishments in the city, PRATT & LETCHWORTH being the largest manufacturers of saddlery hardware in the United States.
They are located on a tract of land of thirty-eight acres, lying between the central Railroad and the Scajaquoda Creek, which runs into the canal, immediately adjacent to the depot. The works, which are of great extent, (they give employment to five hundred men,) have been greatly added to, and for the most part reconstructed in the last few years. Every new appliance in molding, casting, malleating, and finishing, is brought into use in the works as soon as it is given to the world, and no expense is spared to sustain the high reputation of the goods manufactured there.
The business is mainly confined to the making of saddlery hardware, rings, buckles, trees, hames, & c. The process of malleating is simple, though it is one requiring great care. The rings and bucklers are cast in quantities, united together by a small connecting band which easily breaks off with the touch of a hammer. They are then carefully sorted, and all imperfect ones thrown aside. But the castings are brittle, and it is to render them tough and ductile that they are made malleable. They are tightly packed in an iron vessel in layers of oxyde of iron  the scale which flies from iron in the process of rolling  which has been allowed oxydise, or become rusted by exposure, and are then subjected to the heat of the furnace for an average period of twelve days, according to circumstances. The combined action of the heat and the oxyde of iron produces the desired effect, and, after having gone through the revolving cylinder to take off any little roughness or attached particles, they are ready for the burnisher and the silver plater; even the band-plating and the electro-plating being carried on in the works.
But there is one feature in the works which Mr. LETCHWORTH the acting spirit of the concern, has very wisely introduced. The workmen are considered apart from their producing powers. It is intended to erect comfortable cottages for their especial occupation, with the right of purchase of the house and lot, on the lands of the firm; a part of the unoccupied land has been planted and converted into a succession of flower gardens, that part nearest the water having, in Summer time, the appearance of a small park; and, lastly, a cozy little reading-room, well warmed, well lighted, and well supplied with newspapers has been opened for their use. A library will shortly be added to it. It would be a good thing if more large employers of labor were as thoughtful.
The business store of the firm, which is adjoining that of PRATT & CO, on the terrace, is an emporium of such a countless number of articles that it impossible to enumerate them. Suffice it to say that the saddler and harness-maker can more than fit himself out without stepping out of the store. Everything that is sold is, even when cheap, made of the best material and workmanship, no inferior goods whatever being kept in stock.
The business of the firm extends all over the State of New York, through the entire West to St. Paul and Sand Francisco, and South to New-Orleans. Orders from Europe, South America, and Mexico are not unusual."

The official beginning anyway. For those of you keeping track football never really ends around here. We eat, drink, sleep football pretty much 24/7/365. It is our life. However those not officially affiliated like we are get really excited this time of year. I am excited but I am also a little sad. You see my husband packed his BIG bag to move into the dorms for the next 2 weeks. He will of course come home for brief periods of time to make sure we are still here.
After reading Mama Kat's writing prompts for this week I asked myself: if I could do it over again would I still choose to spend my life with a husband with this crazy schedule. The answer is a resounding YES! I know that by January I may be questioning my answer to that but I wouldn't want it any other way. Here are some reasons why.
1. Texting your husband is sometimes more romantic than seeing him.
So if you could do it all over again would you?
Linking up with Mama Kat for her Writer's Workshop.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT… Sen. Rick Scott: One Year After Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal, Americans Still Need Answers
Renews call for bicameral, bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Afghanistan to investigate Biden administration's failures
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, ahead of the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden's botched and deadly withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, Senator Rick Scott released the following statement renewing his calls for the U.S. Senate to immediately pass his resolution establishing a Joint Select Committee on Afghanistan. The establishment of a bicameral, bipartisan committee will allow the Congress to conduct a full investigation into President Biden's failed and tragic withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan that took the lives of 13 brave U.S. service members, stranded hundreds of Americans behind enemy lines, handed power back to the Taliban and left billions of dollars in U.S. military equipment in the hands of terrorists.
This Joint Select Committee would follow the precedent set in the aftermath of the Iran-Contra affair. Senator Scott introduced the legislation to establish a Joint Select Committee on Afghanistan in October 2021 after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refused to answer his calls for accountability and failed to use their authority to launch a bicameral, bipartisan investigation.
Senator Rick Scott said, "It has been one year since the United States suffered its most stunning, unforced and humiliating defeat in decades and there has been ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IT. We lost 13 brave service members, stranded hundreds of our own citizens and left BILLIONS of dollars of military equipment in the hands of terrorists in President Biden's horrifically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, but he still hasn't taken responsibility or been forced to answer for a single one of these failures. The president's failures have placed Afghanistan back in the hands of the same terrorist-coddling extremists who ruled it on September 11, 2001. Afghanistan is once again a haven for the world's most dangerous terrorists, who are back openly operating in Kabul. President Biden's actions and decisions have put the national security of the United States in jeopardy more than any other president in modern history. He must be held accountable for it. It is shocking and unacceptable that after the loss of 13 American soldiers and the massive failure of President Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal, Democrats can't find the courage to demand answers. If Democrats are truly committed to exercising congressional oversight and protecting America's national security, they'll join me and move quickly to pass my resolution, launch a Joint Select Committee and begin the important work of getting answers for the American people."
Senator Scott has repeatedly called for accountability and answers for the Biden administration's failures in Afghanistan, including for Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi to launch a bipartisan investigation into President Biden's withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan:

Vita Jarrin's cool and decisive manner is consistent whether she is cooking as the Food Network clock ticks down or preparing cooled gelato in her Padre Island shop.
Jarrin, co-owner of A La Mode Gelateria, was featured on the Sunday night season two premiere of Food Network's 'Cooks vs. Cons.' The show features two mystery chefs and two home cooks, leaving the judges, host and audience to guess who is professionally trained.
She won the two-round competition — a $10,000 feat — after melting the competition with a horseradish-infused lasagna topped with a Parmesan breadcrumb crust and a cannoli bread pudding crusted doughnut served with fresh whipped cream.
Jarrin first attracted the attention of the show on an audition tape, in which she shared her cooking style with the show's producers.
'There's nothing better in a dish than when you can take a fresh tomato and turn it into tomato sauce,' Jarrin said. 'It stands out in your dish, but the main ingredient is love because if you don't love your food and you don't love what you're doing it's not going to come out right.'
Her TV appearance was a success in part because she stayed true to her Sicilian roots.
'Vita was born to be a chef. It's in her blood,' said Gail Huesmann, who co-owns the local business with Jarrin.
Jarrin's earliest cooking memory is of her peering over her aunt's counter before grabbing a stool and cracking eggs into a bowl.
'I would want to go outside and play with all the other kids, but she would pull me in,' Jarrin said. 'I think she saw that there was something there.'
But for years her passion lay dormant as she raised four daughters and balanced the stress of the mortgage business.
As full as Jarrin's life was, she realized there was something missing.
'When I turned 40 and my children were fully grown, I felt like I needed something in my life and career that would fulfill me,' Jarrin said.
In 2006, Jarrin traded a computer screen for a knife set and enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago at 41.
Like wine, her passion for cooking matured throughout her life and kept her from feeling intimidated by younger colleagues.
'I had a late start, so I almost felt like I had to step up my game,' Jarrin said. 'When I was discouraged because I was older the one thing that held it together for me was that Julia Child became a chef when she was 51, and what she did in her career, starting so late, was really the model that I set myself to achieve.'
In the 10 years since Jarrin's start, two of her Chicago restaurants closed, but she has also experienced two appearances on Food Network. The risk of failure becomes even sweeter with success, she said, because of the lasting impact it leaves on her daughters.
'The biggest example that I've set for my daughters is they can always shoot for their highest dreams. It doesn't matter how old you are. It doesn't matter what your past has been. It just means you have to fight more for something,' Jarrin said. 'Being a single mom and striving to always beat the odds losing restaurants, losing houses in the process ... but keeping our family close-knit and being supported gets you to achieve anything you want.'
Jarrin will invest her winnings into her gelato shop, and the show will air again on the Food Network on July 24.

Q: Error when compiling with MinGW I am trying to compile a hello world program using MinGW on Windows 10. I am compiling from the command prompt with just:

The world was young, then, and only a few knew it as Sanctuary or knew that not only did angels and demons exist, but some of them had caused Sanctuary to be in the first place. The names Inarius, Diablo, Rathma, Mephisto, and Baal―to name a powerful and often dread few―had not yet been whispered on mortal lips.
And, of all those most terribly ignorant of Sanctuary's awful destiny, Uldyssian ul-Diomed―Uldyssian, son of Diomedes―could be said to have been the most blind. Blind, though he would be himself at the center of what scholars of the world's secret history would come to call the Sin War.
It was not a war in the sense of men-at-arms―though there were those, too―but rather a trying, a testing and taking, of souls. A war that would forever eradicate the innocence of Sanctuary and those inhabiting it, changing all, even those not aware.

This prominentes is probably one of the best cigars of this size and it's highly recommended if you are an experienced cigar aficionado. It provides all Hoyo De Monterrey familiar notes, with lots of intense and powerful sweet tobacco taste on the palate. All those outstanding qualities of a big cigar are making this one an excellent choice for a gala dinner type of event.
