Q: segfault when using boost::signal with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG compiler flag I'm building with g++, and yesterday a helpful person on SO told me to compile with the -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG and -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC flags.  I did so, and I spent most of yesterday tweaking my code to conform to these flags.  Now it's complaining about my use of boost::signal, and I'm not sure where the problem is.
I have a class Yarl that has a function refresh() that I want to bind to a signal sigRefresh in another class EventHandler:
class Yarl
{
    private:
        void refresh();
    (...)
};

class EventHandler
{
    public:
        boost::signal<void()> sigRefresh;
    (...)
}

Then, in a member function of Yarl, I have this bit of code:
EventHandler eventHandler;
eventHandler.sigRefresh.connect(boost::bind(&Yarl::refresh, this));

Before I started compiling with those flags, this code ran fine.  Now that I'm using them, my program segfaults at the second line.
Here's the backtrace from gdb:
#0  0x001eeee6 in __gnu_debug::_Safe_iterator_base::_M_detach_single() ()

Anyone see what I should fix?
EDIT:  I have a small sample program that illustrates the problem, as suggested by Daniel Trebbien.
Here's the header file (test.hpp):
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/signal.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <tr1/memory>

namespace yarl
{
    class Yarl
    {
        private:
            void refresh();
        public:
            void hookSignal();
    };

    namespace events
    {
        class EventHandler
        {
            public:
                boost::signal<void()> sigRefresh;
        };
    }
}

and here's the implementation:
#include "test.hpp"
using namespace std;

namespace yarl
{
    void Yarl::refresh()
    {
        cout << "in refresh" << endl;
    }

    void Yarl::hookSignal()
    {
        events::EventHandler eventHandler;
        eventHandler.sigRefresh.connect(boost::bind(&Yarl::refresh, this));

        eventHandler.sigRefresh();
    }
}

int main()
{
    yarl::Yarl y;
    y.hookSignal();
}

As before, this sample program works fine when compiled in g++ with only a -g flag, but if I add -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG and -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC, it segfaults on the eventHandler.sigRefresh.connect line.

I recompiled boost with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG and -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC, and it didn't fix the problem, but while it was compiling I noticed it was doing something odd.  I compiled with bjam using this command (according to this boost tutorial):
sudo bjam --build-dir=. --toolset=gcc --variant=debug --cxxflags=-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG,-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC --layout=tagged stage

despite the --variant=debug tag, it was still compiling the release versions.  I also didn't see any mention of my debug flags anywhere in the output.  Is it possible I compiled it wrong?

A:
Do I have to have differently compiled versions of boost for release code and debug code?

I'm afraid you do.  From personal experience, boost is extremely sensitive to changes in compiler flags.  A few years ago a free software project I was hacking on had to stop using boost::system and boost::filesystem just because those modules have shared libraries that weren't reliably compiled (by the Linux distributors) with exactly the same flags as our code.  The symptoms were just the same - inexplicable crashes on correct code.
Because of this I have to recommend not using any Boost module that ships a shared library.  Ever.  It's sad.

(Washington County) Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Chandler, I'm writing this letter to ask you why you feel following reasonable ordinances is too much for oil companies? Are they not a multibillion-dollar industry?
Yes, I agree we need more job opportunities in Washington County. However, I also believe if the oil company causes damage to land, water, animals, and people, it needs to be responsible to take care of whatever damages it causes. If it decides to drill on your property and it stirs up methane gas, are you going to pay to fix that problem? Do you think your insurance company will gladly pay? I don't think so.
I recently read an MSN article regarding fracking and how banks and lending agencies are revisiting their lending policies to account for potential impacts of drilling. Also, home insurance policies do not cover residential properties with gas leases or gas wells.
You, like other politicians, were elected by voters to watch out for our best interests. Instead, it seems politicians only want the job for their own personal agendas. Please work for our community.
The Monday, August 26, Climate Justice Forum radio program hosted by Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) welcomes two regional activists who participated in the indigenous-led Moccasins on the Ground direct action training camp near Whitehall, Montana, on August 23 to 25. We are honored to hear Brooklyn Baptiste tell the epic story of the four-night Nez Perce Tribe blockade on August 5 through 8 of an Alberta tar sands evaporator on Highway 12 in Idaho, as well as updates about a related federal court injunction hearing. Justin Ellenbecker of various social and environmental justice organizations in Spokane also describes Moccasins on the Ground and local coal/shale oil export resistance and media attention, the broadened Gateway Pacific coal terminal analysis, and upcoming scoping hearings about a proposed Longview coal port. Broadcast on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow every Monday between 7:30 and 9:30 pm PDT live at 92.5 FM and online, the show covers continent-wide dirty energy developments and climate activism news, thanks to the generous, anonymous listener who adopted program host Helen Yost as his KRFP DJ.
* Other organizational goals, such as mobilizing our collective, establishing roles, delegating tasks, initiating a regional canvass, filling the WIRT Activist House, etc.
Claiming that it was measuring and mapping the magnetic field of the earth and related subsurface geologic and hydrologic features, such as shallow faults that caused small 2001 Spokane earthquakes, the U.S. Geological Survey contracted EDCON-PRJ, a company involved in mining and oil and gas exploration around the world, to fly low-level aircraft over the Spokane/eastern Washington/northern Idaho area and other parts of Idaho for nearly a month this spring. Are corporate forces exploring fracking opportunities in our region?
If you would like local answers to this question, as a WIRT member is seeking in the Grangeville area, search your county recorder's office for oil and gas leases, filed as encumbrances against real property after they are signed and made available online by some counties, such as Payette County. Among various ways to search through these documents, the easiest method entails using the code for oil and gas leases that the county clerk or recorder assigns. If you do a "grantee" search, look for these companies that have operated recently in Idaho: Alta Mesa Idaho (or AM Idaho), Bridge Resources, Idaho Natural Resources, and Snake River Oil and Gas.
Industry spin and citizen cooperation: Although Idaho state law prevents local governments from regulating the technical aspects of oil and gas drilling, it allows them to create ordinances that protect public health and safety and property rights. The 60-member Weiser River Resource Council, which advocates responsible drilling and fair landowner/neighbor treatment by industry, is pushing for strong, local ordinances that protect the environment, public infrastructure, and property rights and that mitigate potential negative effects, according to co-chair Amanda Buchanan.
On Wednesday, July 24, between 7 and 8 am, Alma of Idaho Residents Against Gas Extraction (IRAGE) talked about fracking/drilling in Idaho on the Kevin Miller program on KIDO 580 AM, Boise, Idaho. She encouraged distant fractivists and IRAGE friends to call in to the toll-free phone number on Kevin's website, and she later described her host as a perfect gentlemen.
The Payette County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) held their public hearing on the proposed county oil and gas ordinance at 11:00 am on Monday, July 29, at the Payette County Courthouse. Fellow fractivist Alma Hasse mobilized community involvement, attended, and offered information for this report. The commissioners had demolished most of the ordinance that the planning and zoning commission (P&Z) had worked on for six months. But they retained the nationally rare requirements for baseline water testing before drilling, although of only two down-gradient domestic wells (or of two up-gradient wells, if two below cannot be located).
As shippers' preferred Highway 12 route is fought in court, underpasses trim trips north.
As yet another legal battle mounts against permitting oversized loads to be transported along the Wild and Scenic River Corridor on U.S. Highway 12, concerns vary as to whether U.S. Highway 95 could again be tapped as the next viable shipping option.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Winmill will preside over a court hearing on August 27 to decide if an emergency injunction should be issued, requiring the U.S. Forest Service to enforce its standards for megaload shipments through the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest.
The lawsuit was filed by the Nez Perce Tribe and Idaho Rivers United following several days of protests of an Omega Morgan evaporator shipment bound for the tar sands in Alberta, Canada.
If the Forest Service is ordered to enforce its jurisdiction over megaloads that it perceives as hazardous to the national forest and river corridor, such shipments may be halted or forced to go elsewhere.
The Monday, August 19, Climate Justice Forum radio program hosted by Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) welcomes three female indigenous activists of the Lakota and Nez Perce tribes. Meredith Moffett discusses the August 5 to 8 Nez Perce blockades of tar sands equipment on Highway 12 in Idaho, and Elrae Potts describes the August 12 protest of the same module and convoy in Missoula as well as the upcoming Moccasins on the Ground (MOG) direct action training camp near Butte on August 23 through 25. WIRT is also honored to feature a recorded interview with Debra White Plume, who led a Lakota megaload blockade in March 2012 and coordinates MOG camps and Keystone XL pipeline resistance in South Dakota. Broadcast on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow every Monday between 7:30 and 9:30 pm PDT live at 92.5 FM and online, the show covers continent-wide dirty energy developments and climate activism news, thanks to the generous, anonymous listener who adopted program host Helen Yost as his KRFP DJ.
Over the last few weeks since the last Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) newsletter and amidst several action alerts, WIRT activists have protested oil and gas drilling and fracking in southern Idaho, trained to teach direct action tactics in preparation for nationwide Keystone XL pipeline protests, and joined blockades and roadside uprisings led by the valiant Nez Perce people against Highway 12 tar sands megaloads. In the wake of all of this activity and the extended travels since August 1 of the WIRT email/facebook/website/radio show coordinator, we are composing and sending three WIRT newsletters by the end of this week: this issue about regional fossil fuel resistance, an upcoming edition about Idaho oil and gas issues and protests, and a description/media compilation about last week's Highway 12 megaload events. We apologize for our temporarily reduced (and corporate/competitor-scuttled?) capacity for public and media communication and outreach during such a significant time in our anti-tar sands/megaload campaign, while we applaud our many stalwart core WIRT activists who participated in historic resistance and successfully shared observations, videos, photos, and news about our collective regional work.

Q: How to tell if a string contains HTML entity (like &)? I'm trying to write a function that checks a parameter against an array of special HTML entities (like the user entered '&amp' instead of '&'), and then add a span around those entered entities.
How would I search through the string parameter to find this? Would it be a regex?
This is my code thus far:
 function ampersandKiller(input) {
 var specialCharacters = ['&', ' ']
 if($(specialCharacters).contains('&')) {
     alert('hey')
 } else {
     alert('nay')
 }
}

Obviously this doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?
So if a string like My name is & was passed, it would render My name is &. If a special character was listed twice -- like 'I really like &&& it would just render the span around each element. The user must also be able to use the plain &.

A: function htmlEntityChecker(input) {
    var characterArray = ['&', ' '];
    $.each(characterArray, function(idx, ent) {
        if (input.indexOf(ent) != -1) {
            var re = new RegExp(ent, "g");
            input = input.replace(re, '' + ent + '');
        }
    });

    return input;
}

FIDDLE

A: You could use this regular expression to find and wrap the entities:
input.replace(/&| /g, '$&')

For any kind of entity, you could use this too:
input.replace(/&(?:[a-z]+|#\d+);/g, '$&');

It matches the "word" entities as well as numeric entities. For example:
'test & & <'.replace(/&(?:[a-z]+|#x?\d+);/gi, '$&');

Output:
test & & <

A: Another option would be to make the browser do a decode for you and check if the length is any different... check this question to see how to unescape the entities. You can then compare the length of the original string with the length of the decoded. Example below:
function htmlDecode(input){
    var e = document.createElement('div');
    e.innerHTML = input;
    return e.childNodes.length === 0 ? "" : e.childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
function hasEntities(input) {
    if (input.length != htmlDecode(input).length) {
       return true;
    }
    return false;
}
alert(hasEntities('a'))
alert(hasEntities('&'))

The above will show two alerts. First false and then true.

60 Fun LEGO Facts Every LEGO Fan Needs to Know
Thank you to the LEGO® Group for sending us a fantastic Anniversary box of LEGO bricks. The honest opinions stated in this post are 100% mine.
Our kids had a BLAST building creatively with the bricks contained in the LEGO Anniversary box , while I read them fun and interesting LEGO facts and trivia. It was a great learning experience for all of us.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the world famous LEGO brick, these 60 fun LEGO facts will make you the life of any LEGO party!
Six 2×4 LEGO bricks can be combined in more than 915 million ways.
A column of approximately 40 billion LEGO bricks can reach the moon.
1,300 LEGO pieces are made per second, 78,000 per minute and 4,680,000 per hour.
The molds used to produce LEGO elements are accurate to within 4my/0.004mm – less than the width of a single hair. This accuracy is what LEGO refers to as clutch power.
LEGO currently have 60+ different colors in production.
There are 3,700+ different LEGO elements (this includes all LEGO bricks and other LEGO elements.)
Every second, 7 LEGO sets are sold by retailers around the world.
The LEGO bricks sold in one year can wrap around Earth five times.
The world's tallest LEGO tower has 550,000 LEGO bricks and stands more than 114' tall.
The word "LEGO" is a not noun, as per the LEGO Group. "LEGO" is an adjective, as in LEGO bricks, LEGO products and LEGO sets – you get the picture.
The plural of LEGO is "LEGO."
The word "LEGO" is a fusion of the two Danish words "leg" (play) and "godt" (good).
Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891-1958) created The LEGO Group in 1932. He was a carpenter and started making wooden toys in 1932.
Ole Kirk Christiansen patented the famous inter-locking wooden-version of the LEGO brick in 1949.
For retired and hard-to-find LEGO bricks and sets, BrickLink is a LEGO collector's dream marketplace.
There are 86 LEGO bricks for every person on earth.
LEGO produces 318 million LEGO tires a year, or over 870,000 each day.
LEGO sells over 400 million tires each year, which makes LEGO the world's largest tire manufacturer.
There are over 400 billion LEGO bricks in the world. Stacked together, they are 2,386,065 miles tall, which is ten times higher than the moon.
One LEGO can take up to 4,240 Newtons of force, or over 953 pounds. (No wonder it hurts so much to step on a LEGO brick.)
A single LEGO brick can support 375,000 other LEGO bricks before buckling. In other words, you can build a LEGO tower 2.17 miles high before the bottom LEGO brick breaks.
LEGO bricks haven't changed over the years. A LEGO brick from 1956 fits on a LEGO brick made today.
Most LEGO manufacturing plants are located in Denmark, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
In the extremely rare event your LEGO set is missing a piece or includes a broken piece, LEGO will gladly send you replacement bricks at no expense to the LEGO fan: LEGO Brick Replacement Customer Service
LEGO licensed its first-themed LEGO set in 1999. The theme was Star Wars.
An "evil" LEGO figurine in the LEGO Alpha Team set is name Ogel, which is LEGO spelled backwards. He represents the exact opposite of the brand's love of play and fun.
LEGO's Danish motto is "Det bedste er ikke for godt," which means "the best isn't too good" or "only the best is good enough."
Boba Fett from the Star Wars Cloud City LEGO set is one of the most rare and most collectable LEGO minifigures in the world.
You can propose an innovative idea for a LEGO set on LEGO Ideas. Once you get 10,000 social media supporters for your idea, LEGO will review your project and may decide to send it into production.
In 2003, NBA Basketball Minifigures were the first to be based on real people, such as Kobe Bryant.
Pictures shared with permission from LEGO Group
There are a total of 3,863,484 unique virtual LEGO bricks in the 2014 The LEGO Movie . However, many of those bricks were reused to create some of the film's other scenes. To recreate the entire movie would take 15,080,330 virtual LEGO pieces.
In 2009, James May in Surrey, Great Britain, created the first full-sized LEGO house with 3.3 million bricks. It included a working toilet, shower, and a bed, which were all made out of LEGO bricks.
Most LEGO pieces are made of ABS plastic, which means they will never decompose. The first LEGO pieces made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugar cane are slated to go on sale in 2018.
LEGO created the first Minifigure in 1978. Since then, LEGO has created over 4 billion Minifigures, making it the world's largest population group.
The largest LEGO set ever sold is the LEGO Taj Mahal , with 5,922 pieces.
"AFOL" is an acronym for "Adult Fans of LEGO."
Approximately 86% LEGO Minifigures are male.
The first LEGO Minifigures in 1978 had yellow skin, two black dots for eyes, and a wide smile to represent people from anywhere in the world. In 2003, the LEGO group gave Minifigures realistic skin tones, facial expressions, and modeled hair.
Approximately 20 billion LEGO elements (bricks) are made every year in the LEGO factory in Billund, Denmark. This is about 2 million elements every hour, or 35,000 every minute.
Historically, each LEGO Minifigure was exactly 4 bricks high without a hat. In 2002, the Yoda Minifigure became the first to be a different height.
Over 8 quadrillion possible Minifigures could be made from all the parts that have been produced over the last 30 years.
The first LEGO Minifigure was a police officer and was part of the LEGO "Town" theme in early 1978.
The most expensive LEGO Minifigure is the 14k gold Star Wars 30th Anniversary C-3PO, which is said to be worth at least $200. LEGO made only two of these special characters.
The LEGO molding process is so accurate that just 18 elements in every million do not pass the company's high quality standard.
In September 2014, LEGO passed Hasbro to become the world's second biggest toy maker, behind Mattel.
Globally, children spend 5 billion hours a year playing with LEGO.
Quirrell from the Harry Potter LEGO set is the first minifigure to have a double-sided head. He has a swivel head that can spin from a good side to an evil side.
Alfred Molina who plays Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2 is one of only two actors to become a LEGO Minifigure twice. His other Minifigure is Satipo in the Indiana Jones series.
Most LEGO heads don't have noses so that the facial graphics remain as clean as possible.
The LEGO Minifigurine Jar Jar Binks was the first Minifigure to have a specially molded head.
LEGO Minifigure heads are empty with small holes on either side of the head. The holes make it less likely for a child to choke in case the Minifigure head is swallowed.
In 2000, LEGO beat out the common Teddy Bear and the Barbie doll as the "Toy of the Century."
LEGO bricks are made of heated plastic. The plastic becomes malleable enough to conform to molds when heated between 230 and 310 degrees Celsius and allowed to cool for up to 10 seconds before being released.
Because the founder of LEGO, Ole Kirk Christianson, didn't want to make war attractive to children, there are no LEGO sets that directly focus on war.
LEGO Minifigures didn't feature small toy guns until 1999 when LEGO started making licensed LEGO sets.
LEGO is a great toy for children with autism. The repetition and structured play offered by LEGO bricks helps autistic children develop nonverbal and verbal communication, sharing and teamwork.
Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOL) can turn to the internet dating site "Plenty of Fish" to find fellow "Users Interested in LEGO."
Artist Antonio Toscano recreated shot-for-shot the trailer for the 2015 movie Fifty Shades of Grey with LEGO.
There is a tiny three-digit number stamped on the interior wall of all LEGO bricks. The number indicates which mold was used and where in the production line the brick was located. In case of a defect, LEGO can easily trace the error back to its origin and fix the problem.
Not all is lost if you misplace your LEGO instructions. LEGO has building instructions available on their website for instant download: LEGO Building Instructions Download

Docs: CPUSA Immediately Spun Conspiracy Theories to Deflect Fact That Communist Killed Kennedy
The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) advanced conspiracy theories in the immediate aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination aimed to discredit the notion that a Communist killed the president of the United States, according to a Breitbart News review of memorandums released last week through the National Archives.
The narrative pushed by the CPUSA within days of the murder of the president remains familiar to this day to anyone with a passing knowledge of the conspiracy theories surrounding the John F. Kennedy assassination. The documents show a clear propaganda effort, sans any evidence for it, to convince the public that the far right, not an extreme leftist, murdered the popular president.
A December 4, 1963 FBI document cites "Who Really Killed Pres. Kennedy?," literature issued by the Communist Party of Illinois and dated December 1, 1963, which claimed that "only the Ultra Right and the Southern Racists" benefitted from the assassination. "Dallas is the stronghold of the Ultra Right" and "the John Birch Society," the literature reasoned in pushing the conspiracy theory.
"The police say he was a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee," the flier read. "The police say he was pro-Communist, yet the anti-Castro Cubans in this country say he offered to work for them."
Later that month, FBI informants reported on a Communist Party meeting in Manhattan outlining strategies to show that Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill the president and that he did not believe in Marxism even if he did kill the president.
"On 12/16/63, an informal discussion was held in at CP headquarters, NYC, and Irving Potash participated," the FBI memo indicates. "It was stated that Mark Lane, former New York state assemblyman, has prepared a brief that will knock holes 'in proof that [Lee] Oswald was guilty.' George Morris said the prime thing to do was to prove he was not a Marxist. Potash said 'The New Republic' has an investigator trying to prove he [Oswald] was linked to the ultra-right."
Mark Lane, the chief Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorist, wrote the 1966 bestseller Rush to Judgement and made a career out of representing fringe figures such as Jim Jones and James Earl Ray. He spent more than a half century before his 2016 death characterizing the official version of the events of November 22, 1963, as a hoax.
Despite casting doubt on Oswald's beliefs and affiliations, CPUSA leaders corresponded with Oswald before the assassination, encouraged his activism within that group, and acknowledged his work with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and his life inside the Soviet Union. Though portraying the Right as Kennedy's deadly enemy after the murder, the party routinely conflated the anti-Communist president with right-wingers, including in "The Ultra-Right, Kennedy, and the Role of the Progressives for Peoples Unity Against Big Business Reaction and the War Danger," literature sent by the CPUSA to Lee Harvey Oswald just months before the assassination.
In a letter sent to Oswald by Johnson less than three months prior to the assassination, he suggests that Oswald "get in touch with us here and we will find some way of getting in touch with you" should he make it to Baltimore as the ex-Marine had hoped.
While Johnson's letter indicates the author did not know Oswald personally, he acknowledges at least two of his letters to the organization. Oswald wrote to party chairman Gus Hall and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a founder of the American Civil Liberties Union whose prestige on the Left eclipsed perhaps all other Americans belonging to the CPUSA.
Johnson writes Oswald that "you have a right to participate in such organizations as you decide, but at the same time there are a number of organizations, such as the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which are of a very broad character and often it is advisable for some people to remain in the background, not the underground."
A bureau source recalled typing at least one of Johnson's letters to Oswald. "Informant stated that she recalled the name Lee Harvey Oswald," a memo released on Thursday explains, "and while at party headquarters this date, picked up several of her dictation notebooks. On searching these notebooks, she came upon her shorthand notes reflecting a letter to Oswald."
Despite the CPUSA acknowledging Oswald and encouraging his activism prior to the assassination, the group immediately shifted gears after the assassination. Oswald, they insinuated, served as a fall guy or an agent provocateur cynically infiltrating Communist groups. The flier issued by the Communists just days after the assassination questions whether authorities allowed his murder to silence him and criticizes law enforcement, which "kept [Oswald] for two days without the right to see counsel."
The party notes neither Oswald's request for CPUSA chief counsel John Abt to represent him nor Abt's admission that he did not think he would or could represent the accused murderer. In the documents released last week, Abt's name comes up as the person who served as the go-between named to bring the Oswald correspondence from the Communists to the FBI. Both the Venona intercepts and the files of the former Soviet Union name Abt as an agent of the Kremlin.
"On 12/3/63, John J. Abt, who has represented the CP, USA before the [Subversive Activities Control Board], as well as individuals before that board, advised the [FBI's New York Office] of the desire of his client, Arnold Johnson, who is Legislative Secretary of the CP, USA, to make available correspondence between the subject and the CP, USA," one FBI memo notes. "Such correspondence was turned over by Abt in the presence of Johnson at his office, 320 Broadway, NYC, on 12/3/63."
A December 8, 1963, memo on a house meeting of seven Communists in Wheeling, West Virginia, describes the same man who encouraged Oswald in his Communist activities through correspondence denying Oswald legitimately took part in such activities.
Arnold [Johnson] explained that since Oswald was considered a Communist then a wave of hysteria was about to explode against the C. party of America but by the time the re-actionaries were getting started it was announced that it had been disclosed that it seemed like the extreme right had been active. This was bore out by the declaration of Russia that it was not the C. party that had done it because Kennedy was a friend of the Working class but the work of the extreme right or almost a fascist act. This seemed to sober the masses that it was the same caliber of people who had insulted [Adlai] Stevenson only weeks before in Dallas, Texas…. Arnold Johnson further stated that no real Marxist Could do such a thing. There is not much doubt about that since the Soviet Union expelled him by not giving him Citizenship to the Soviet Union because they thought him to be an Agent of Fascism.
After so recently emerging from a decade or so that witnessed a crackdown on subversive activity, the American Communists loathed the idea of the government, again, scrutinizing its activities, a situation which a Communist murdering the president of the United States figured to bring about. The FBI memorandums released last Thursday show a Gus Hall so frightened that he would not show up to work at party headquarters and Arnold Johnson and Irving Potash arriving at a meeting with the FBI "in an excited state." Rather than live with the consequences that one of their own murdered the president of the United States, the Communist propaganda apparatus immediately went into overdrive to push the idea of a conspiracy to kill John F. Kennedy orchestrated by the party's enemies. The campaign's effectiveness if not truthfulness sees vindication in so many, to borrow from their own verbiage, "dupes" pushing CPUSA propaganda 54 years after the fact unaware that they push ideas initially advanced by the leadership of the CPUSA.
"Who really was he?" the Communist literature dated nine days after the assassination asks of Lee Harvey Oswald. "An adventurer who was made the 'fall guy' by higher ups? A dupe? Or an innocent victim? What is the truth?"

WordPress has been a phenomenon since it was first released in 2003. Today, it powers over 30% of the entire web and is used every day from personal blogs to enterprise CMS systems. Because it is an open-source project, thousands of volunteers devote their time and energy creating and improving the code every day. There are tens of thousands of themes, plugins and code snippets to enable you to build any kind of website you can imagine.
Within this category we discuss how to set up WordPress locally in 5 minutes, how to add code snippets yourself and describe how to give your site a much needed health check.
There are few things more frustrating than trying to access your WordPress site only to be met with an error.
Since you're reading this post, I'm going to assume you might be feeling that frustration right this very instant.
Because WordPress powers over 29% of all the websites on the Internet, we have a pretty good idea of the kinds of common WordPress errors that you're going to encounter. And to help you get your site back to working in no time, I'm going to show you how to fix all of these errors.
I've tried and tested lots of local WordPress solutions over the years, most notably WAMP, MAMP, and Docker, to name just a few. The thing is, I'm impatient. I'd prefer to spend my time designing and developing rather than fiddling around in the terminal or wondering by a local SQL has become corrupted after a reboot and is no longer recognized (thank you MAMP for that one).
After copious gnashing of teeth and colorful swearing I've settled on, what I think, is an absolutely outstanding environment for developing sites locally. And that's Local by Flywheel.
Are you struggling with how to add code snippets to WordPress?
Code snippets unlock a whole heap of helpful functionality…but sometimes it seems like developers just magically expect you to know where to put each code snippet, right?
When you launched your WordPress site, you probably did a thorough test to make sure everything worked just like you wanted. On the first day of your new site, it's like moving into a brand new apartment – everything is clean and works perfectly!
But as time goes on and wear and tear takes its toll, it's all too easy for that to change…both for apartments and WordPress sites. So to make sure your WordPress site is still humming along perfectly, you need to be a little proactive and give your site periodic health checks.
That's what I'll be talking about today – how to give your WordPress site a health check to make sure it's still in tip-top shape.
That all helps build a more successful website.
But if you want to do that on WordPress, you're going to need help. That's where WordPress analytics plugins come in. And that's also where most WordPress blogs rattle off a list of Google Analytics plugins and call it a day.
To avoid that, I'm going to spend this post covering a variety of WordPress analytics plugins. Yes – one of those plugins deals with Google Analytics – but the rest open up new analytics options you might not have known about.
*Note – I'm going to refer to all of these as "plugins" because they all offer a dedicated WordPress plugin. But a few of these tools are technically SaaS products. The plugin terminology is used for simplicity.

Jane Corry on the friend who inspired Blood Sisters
Jane Corry on the friendship that changed her view of disability
Jane Corry shares the story of Alice, the friend who inspired her to write about a young woman whose life is changed by a brain injury in her latest book, Blood Sisters
Anyone who has a sister is aware of that mixture of intense rivalry and profound love which can exist between two female siblings.
Sometimes, this love/hate relationship can stem from the parents, who might show favouritism (however unwittingly) to one or the other. Sometimes, it's just a quirk of fate which results in two very different characters being thrust together.
I'm the older of two sisters myself and, like many others, the two of us have had our share of ups and downs. But at the end of the day, I love my sister more than she may ever know. She is part of me. We have a unique shared history that no one else can understand.
Yet Kitty and her sister - whom I can't name as it would be a spoiler - have more problems than most. Kitty has had an accident that means she can't talk or walk. She is in a home for the mentally impaired. She understands everything people say (although most people don't realize that), but her memory is patchy. She remembers some things from the past and then promptly forgets them. She can't, for the life of her, recall how she came to be in this home in the first place. She also swears like a trooper, albeit only in her head. She's promiscuous – or tries to be. And she falls head over heels in love.
I'm thrilled to see that early reviewers of Blood Sisters 'love' Kitty as much as I do. So where did she come from?
Until I married my second husband eight years ago, I had no idea that a young woman with 'special needs' could have her own character just like anyone else. I'm ashamed to say that, like many people who haven't encountered disability, I used to make all kinds of generalisations. But then, through my new husband, I met Alice (not her real name).
Alice is the daughter of very close friends of my husband. Despite being born with severe health issues, she has lived at home all her life with her parents and sister, who have loved and nurtured her. Nothing is too much trouble for them - never once have I heard them complain - and it's heartwarming to see the obvious love on their faces as they feed, dress and play with her.
Alice is now 21. She is in a wheelchair and communicates through clapping, banging her hands and pointing to pictures. She makes a certain noise when she is happy – like the time we took her to the local donkey sanctuary. And she makes a different sound when she doesn't want to do something, such as wearing a certain jumper. In fact, she can be very determined about what she does and doesn't want to do; demonstrating her views with hand waving and head turning.
Alice likes her food. But she'll signal when she's had enough to eat, thank you very much. She can be noisy in restaurants, which sometimes makes other diners move away. This happened when our friends came down to stay with us recently and we all went to a pub for a meal. I felt mortified on their behalf when the table next to ours asked to be seated somewhere 'quieter' away from the noise which Alice was making. However our friends shrugged it off and pointed out that it wasn't always easy for others to understand.
I'm ashamed to say that, like many people who haven't encountered disability, I used to make all kinds of generalisations. But then I met Alice
Every now and then, Alice will have a fit, and sometimes she has to go to hospital. This causes huge worry and anxiety. Yet each time, her parents put on a brave face and somehow get through it. They also find the time to help and encourage other families in similar situations.
But the most important thing about Alice is that, despite everything, she is very much her own woman.
My Kitty is not Alice, but the latter played an important role in helping me to draw the fuller picture. She taught me that those with special needs have the same emotions as anyone else. And she also showed me that you can have a brilliant sense of humour without actually speaking. In fact, our friends' daughter often roars with laughter even though you might not understand what is so amusing. I wanted to share this. To write about an Alice so that as many people as possible could see the world through her eyes.
I felt even more strongly about this when I visited various brain injury units all over the country. There I met other Alices, as well as young men whose lives had been changed through accidents or illnesses. The never-ending, fathomless love and care shown by staff and relations moved me beyond words. 'I never thought this would happen to us,' one mother told me, 'but when it did, we somehow found the strength to deal with it.'
Every person I met in these centres had a previous life before he or she went there. That's why Kitty is two people in my novel: the 'before' Kitty when she was a schoolgirl who could talk, run and apply mascara with more aplomb than her older sister. And the 'after' Kitty who found herself in a wheelchair, unable to talk. It's one reason why I wanted to show that so-called 'disabled' people should not be defined by what they can and cannot do. Just as important, I tried to make the point that girls like Kitty and Alice are the same as all of us, with plenty of human faults as well as good points!
Take jealousy, that green-eyed snake. Before her accident, like many younger sisters, Kitty deeply envied her older sibling. She wanted to go to parties too. She wanted to wear cool clothes and high heels, and have her first boyfriend. But then, one summer day, her whole life changed. And so, too, did the lives of her sister and everyone else around them.
But what happens to Kitty and her sister? What did they fall out about? (If, indeed, they did?) Did their acrimony result in Kitty's injuries? And do they make up in the end?
I'll leave it up to you to find out…

A slab leak is the industry term for a leak on one (or more) of the water lines running below the concrete floor of your home.
Many events and conditions can cause under slab leaks.
You hear water noises under the concrete slab.
Your water bill is unusually high or you have an unexplained increases is usage.
You find a wet spot or increased humidity on your floor.
You find a warm spot on your floor (warm water pipes leaking).
You find a cold spot on your floor (cold water pipes leaking).
You see cracks in floor, bubbles in linoleum, cracks in walls and baseboards.
You see water coming up from the foundation of your home.
You have an unexplained drop in water pressure to your home not caused by a pressure regulator.
How Do We Find A Slab Leak?
We utilize our expertise and skill to determine the location of the leak. We use GOLDAK® Leak Detection equipment that allows us to hear the leak below the floor giving us an accurate idea of where the leak is. After the leak is heard, we use our Line Locater to determine how the lines are run. After determining those two things, the leak is located and isolated, we can then discuss with you the different options for repairing your specific problem and the associated costs.
Direct Access: After our technicians pinpoint the leak, we start by covering the floors and furniture to protect them from dust. We then jackhammer the floor and remove the debris to access the water pipe below the slab. This type of repair is usually referred to as a "direct access." After cutting out the leaking section of pipe and making the repair using type L copper pipe, we perform an additional electronic leak detection to ensure there are no additional leaks. The pipe is then wrapped in plastic, the soil is replaced and we put a rough patch on the concrete with fast drying cement. The entire process takes only a few hours and your water is restored the same day.
Re-route: Re-routing, or single line re-piping, is the term to describe the process of bypassing a line that is leaking under a slab foundation. A Reroute would be the preferred method of repair if a direct access is not possible or cost prohibited, due to continuous tile, wood, or marble flooring .Most homes have a piping system for the hot and cold lines that loop from fixture to fixture, usually starting at the water heater. Leaks can develop under the slab on either the hot or the cold lines. An average one bathroom home may have up to twelve individual lines under the slab. When a leak develops on one of the lines in an area where a direct access is not possible, then this line can be re-routed. Rerouting a line that goes under the slab from manifold to manifold will generally require opening of drywall (less drywall is opened if there is an attic space above the ceiling). Additional to the expense of the plumbing re-route, is the cost of replacing the drywall, texturing and paint.


The gentleman's game just turned ugly. It has been confirmed that Bob Woolmer, the Pakistan coach was murdered, strangled to death in his hotel room after Pakistan were knocked out of the world cup.
Sport almost by definition is competition sans malice, rivalry sans warfare. We play, watch and love sport because it's essentially a friendly activity but with intense competition. Our hearts and souls soar and sink with our team's performance, but either way the highs and lows fade because at the end of the day, we understand that it's just a game. Unfortunately, that's no longer true.
The timing and manner of Bob Woolmer's death almost certainly indicates that it had something to do with Pakistan's terrible performance at the world cup. Before the murder was confirmed, Sambit Bal wrote an excellent article explaining why the sport of cricket was already in danger of being hyped to the point of fanaticism. With this incident, a very stark line has been crossed. If a sport as a collective (players, sponsors, fans) cannot handle being a sport, does it deserve so high a pedastal? Is the cricket world cup worth more than a human life?
India has a must-win match this evening against Sri Lanka if it must go into the next stage. Normally, there would be nothing else on my mind. Yet right now, I cannot tell if I'll be able to bear watching the match.
It's hard to watch a sport when the result may be a matter of life or death. I can only wonder how hard it must be to play it with that at the back of your mind.

Q: Prove that the little-o definition doesn't hold for two function (f and g) I need your help with the following statement:
Show there exist two function $f(n), g(n)$ such that meet the following definition:
$g(n) = O(f(n))$ and $f(n) \ne O(g(n))$
But don't meet the little-o definition, that is :
Not for every $\epsilon >0$ there exist $n_0 \ge 1$ such that $g(n) \le \epsilon f(n)$ for every $n \ge n_0$
I'm not sure what way should I pick here.
It seems like every "Normal" two functions which meets the first definition also meets the little-o definition.
Thanks in advance!

A: Just think of two functions $f$ and $g$, which are more or less "equal", but one of them (here: $g$) is to oszillating to bound the other. For example $f(n) = 1$ and $g(n) = \sin(n) + 1$.


For an 87-year-old one-(huge) hit-wonder, Harper Lee has been in the news a lot recently, from that time back in early May when she sued an agent for allegedly "duping" her into signing over the copyright to To Kill a Mockingbird six years ago, to her current lawsuit against a museum in her Alabama hometown for the "unauthorized use of the protected names and trademarks of 'Harper Lee' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'" Grab the popcorn because this story is about to go full-on litigious.
Lee's suit alleges that the Monroe County Heritage Museum in her hometown (Lee still lives in Monroe County) has been profiting off of her name and her extremely popular novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Considering that the book, according to the lawsuit, still sells about a million copies a year, it's not so far-fetched to assume there's a big market in, say, having a Boo Radley haunted house tour, complete with real Robert Duvall guide.
The museum seeks to profit from the unauthorized use of the protected names and trademarks of 'Harper Lee' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' It is a substantial business that generated over $500,000 in revenue for 2011, the last year for which figures are available. But its actual work does not touch upon history. Rather, its primary mission is to trade upon the fictional story, settings and characters that Harper Lee created.
According to CNN, the lawsuit seems to have a point: for starters, the museum's website is www.tokillamockingbird.com, and it sells all sorts of Mockingbird-themed merchandise at its gift shop, the Bird's Nest. A Birmingham-based attorney, perhaps capitalizing on the year's earlier story of Lee being "duped" by an agent with dubious intentions, has seen fit to insinuate that Lee is once again being led into a litigious bramble patch by "greedy handlers," which is a shame because all the non-profit Monroe County Heritage Museum wants to do is honor Lee's work with a commemorative pair of Boo Radley googly eyes, or an Atticus Finch "Best Dad in the Universe" coffee mug. Tawdry gift store gewgaw is how we keep great literature alive, people.

Art on the Square
Encounter art installations in Harvard Square that, one way or another, talk back to viewers
David Buckley Borden's "Warning Warming," on Harvard's Science Center Plaza. (Photo: Tom Meek)
Harvard Square is home to two new large art installations, strikingly placed at the Charles Hotel and as a centerpiece at Harvard's Science Center Plaza: One's a multilayer interactive experience meant to absorb and regurgitate our urban surroundings; the other is an ominous summation of our ever-changing climate. Both have strong Harvard roots.
In the Science Center Plaza is David Buckley Borden's "Warning Warming," a striking, multi-hued A-frame structure, informing us of unhappy environmental prospects. The white, then sunny tint transmutes into a fiery orange-red, representing rising temperatures, while the other side of the segmented 3D exhibit forecasts a concerning map of CO2 levels. Borden is a fellow at the Harvard Forest – a research department and actual forest on Route 2, managed and cultivated by the university – and a self-proclaimed "recovering landscape architect" who says the project is a something of a spinoff from the "Hemlock Hospice" project out at the Harvard Forest, where the titular trees will become "functionally extinct by 2025" due to an invasive, aphid-like insect from Japan.
"Warning Warning," like "Hemlock Hospice," was collaborative. "These are science communications," he said in conversation, "and I'm like the creative director." According to Borden, who studied at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, it took a team of about 10 to design and assemble the 25-foot structure. It will remain on the plaza until early December. ("Hemlock Hospice" comes down Nov. 18, and Borden a side project called "Triple Decker Ecology" is on display at the Somerville Museum until Dec. 9.)
Allen Sayegh's "Pulsus" has been installed at The Charles Hotel. (Photo: Tom Meek)
Over at the Charles Hotel is "Pulsus," a 30-foot casting extending into the hotel's lower courtyard by GSD associate professor in practice Allen Sayegh and Invivia Design, where Sayegh is a partner. Invivia and the school's Responsive Environments and Artifacts Lab, which Sayegh oversees, focus on the intersection of technology, human environmental factors and architecture.
Most folk who see "Pulsus" wonder if Han Solo might not be frozen in there. Indeed, it is made up of seven "negative and positive" human body imprints and designed to be reflective of human activity by absorbing the cityscape sounds and reverberating them in a "pulsating, communicative" fashion. As Sayegh describes it, the work "gathers data from different sources – real-time police conversations, tweets from around the community, among others – and then translates these into different types of tonal sounds, producing the buzzing that you can hear and feel when you're close to it." The installation at Charles Square is currently inert, but a video about the structure shows "Pulsus" in its full interactive glory at its inaugural installation in New York City in 2017, when it cooled and misted (commissioned by the New York City Department of Transportation) and just outside the school's Gund Hall on Quincy Street. Construction at Gund meant Pulsus had to move. It's new location is in part because of Sayegh's relationship with Michael Pagliarini, the chef and owner of Benedetto at The Charles Hotel; Invivia's office abuts Pagliarini's other revered eatery, Giulia. Sayegh said he hoped to have "Pulsus" fully interactive again and plans some type of reintroductory event in the spring. According to The Charles, the installation will remain for the foreseeable future.
When fully interactive, "Pulsus" should again collect the "anxiety and vibrancy" of the city through publicly available data sources and code written for the project that converts it into harmonious sounds. Some of the information is preserved – you can actually make out police transmissions, Sayegh said.
Reactions to the current installation vary, but mostly reflect awe. "Han, are you in there?" one observer jokes as he knocks on one of the body bubbles. "More like something from 'Alien,'" his friend adds, "but I really dig it." One woman first thought the undulating construct might be some form of industrial wrap left over from the Head of the Charles, but was motivated to learn more even though she found placement of the work – at the bottom of the stairs connecting the hotel's upper and lower courtyards – "odd." Another observer wondered if it could be a hazard for the elderly who rely on the center railing ending at the structure's base.
Other recent design projects by Invivia include "Ora" (2016), an enormous, pulsating orb that occupied Harvard Yard and "The Draem"(2015), a Copenhagen installation marking the the Armenian Genocide in Denmark.

Q: How do I return a vector from a for loop in R? Suppose I have the following code:
f <- function(da) {
      v <- numeric(length(unique(da$cyl)))
      for (i in unique(mtcars$cyl)) {
        each_cylValue_df <- mtcars[mtcars$cyl==i,]
        medianMPG <- median(each_cylValue_df$mpg)
        v[i] <- medianMPG
      }
      v
    }
    f(mtcars)

I am trying to use a function to capture the results of a for loop which iterates three times. My intended output is a vector of the median mpg value of the three iterated cyl values in the mtcars data frame, ideally returning the vector (19.7, 26, 15.2). However, when I run the above code, it returns a vector of the proper length, three, but it returns all zeroes. What is the fix to this issue?

A: We don't need a loop.  It can be done in a group by operation
aggregate(mpg ~ cyl, mtcars, median)
#   cyl  mpg
#1   4 26.0
#2   6 19.7
#3   8 15.2

Or a vector with tapply
with(mtcars, tapply(mpg, cyl, median))

Welcome to Glen Rathlin
What is Glen Rathin? We are a SCA shire covering the Province Ulster on the island of Ireland. We are mostly centred around Belfast and its surrounding areas but open to everyone in our catchment areas, holding events province-wide throughout the year.
Glen Rathlin is a part of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), an international historical selective recreation group covering history up to 1600AD. For a list of all up and coming events and practices plus details when and where they are, click here.
Practices cancelled due to Covid 19
& Travel Restrictions
Up coming Event:
Midsummer Coronation
Next Practice:
Fencing Practice
Archery: Ever see yourself as Robin Hood with a medieval bow. We hold a number of different archery shoots thoughout the year which includes a 'William Tale' shoot were you have to shoot an apple off a mananquin's head, speed rounds, distance shoots and much much more which are shot with wooden arrows and medieval bows.
Renaissance Fencing: Also known as rapier combat, participants use real metal blades (but blunted). Unlike modern fencing, SCA fencing is done "in-the-round", and combatants can fight in close with their opponents. Fencers can face each other in one-on-one in tournaments, or in large melee battles with dozens or even hundreds on a side.
Armoured Combat: Also know as 'heavy combat' in the SCA, it resembles medieval foot tournaments. Combatants can face each other in single combat in tournaments, or can take part in large melee battles or wars. Since we prefer that no one gets hurt, SCA combatants wear real armor and use rattan swords.
Medieval Arts & Sciences: Why not try your hand at one of the many arts and sciences of the medieval times, whether is it is calligraphy, cooking, leather working, brewing, dancing, music, wood working, costuming, embroidery, book binding, armouring, etc there is something to interest everyone.
Feasting, Dancing and Merrymaking: The big activity in the SCA is our events - the opportunity for us to put on our medieval clothing, cook and serve the recipes we've been researching, dance the dances we've been practicing, socialize, heavy fighting, fencing, archery, art & sciences, indoor games, royal courts and generally have a good time. You can find a variety of SCA events taking place almost every weekend of the year, including: Tournaments, coronations, masked balls, wars, and much more.

Update on UK-EU Relationship: week commencing 15 November 2021
Fishing row and Northern-Ireland dispute
The ongoing fishing rights dispute between the UK and France started in September when a British fishing vessel was seized by French authorities. France claims that the UK has failed to grant fishing access to French boats in UK waters, breaching the terms of the post-Brexit deal. Under this arrangement, French trawlermen, who had traditionally fished between 6 and 12 miles off the coast of the UK, would be allowed to continue to do so if they could provide proof that they had fished there every year since 2016.
However, there is now disagreement over how many licences have been granted to French trawlers operating in British waters. The UK government's justification for refusing many applications was due to insufficient supporting evidence. The French government has threatened retaliatory action as a result, stating British boats could be banned from landing their catches in France. Increased customs checks on goods travelling to and from the UK were also threatened if the dispute was not resolved.
The dispute has caused significant disruption across the UK and the threat of lengthier customs checks for perishable goods (e.g fish) could affect these trades severely. This is compounded by the fact that supply chains are already weakened by the current HGV driver shortage. Furthermore, for many trawlers, France is also their largest market and they are reliant on trading there to 'stay afloat'.
Talks have begun between the French European Affairs Minister, Clement Beaune, and UK's chief Brexit negotiator, Lord Frost, but nothing has been resolved thus far. Although fishing is a small part of both British and French economies, it played a large part politically throughout Brexit. Negotiations have also stalled due to previous disputes with the EU over the implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. An important factor in this is the EU Court of Justice's jurisdiction over EU law which still applies in Northern Ireland. The UK has even threatened to trigger Article 16 of the Protocol which would involve a unilateral suspension of parts of the deal.
The Budget
The recent Budget announcements have highlighted a number of policies the government seeks to impose now we have left the EU. The most notable of these is the proposed reform of alcohol duties, consisting of a higher duty for stronger alcohol and a lower duty on beer and lighter wines. However, the Northern Ireland Protocol prevents these rules applying in Northern Ireland, which must conform to EU rules setting a minimum rate of tax for alcoholic drinks.
Shared Prosperity Fund
Further details have also been announced on the post-Brexit replacement for European structural and regional funding, the Shared Prosperity Fund ('SPF'). It will be worth more than £2.6bn over the next three years and will be focussed on helping people "into jobs and get on in life across the UK".
The Government announced that it will put legal controls on water firms dumping sewage in rivers and the sea during periods of heavy rain or storms. This came after MPs faced a backlash for voting down this House of Lords amendment to the post-Brexit Environment Bill, brought forward to replace EU environmental rules after Brexit.
HGV and labour shortages
HGV drivers and labour shortages in the food and farming sectors continue to cause problems with the UK in the run-up to Christmas. These driver shortages are likely to continue until the end of next year because of bottlenecks in training new recruits, exacerbated by the end of free movement for EU workers. The National Farmers Union have also stated that labour shortages are causing food and flowers to be thrown away and urgent action is required to address this.
31 Dec 2021: End of the transitional period which allowed more time for exporters to obtain the suppliers' declarations needed to prove the origin of their exports when sending goods to the EU (so that they qualify for preferential treatment under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA)).
31 Dec 2021: Scheduled end of the 12-month adaptation period for businesses to implement an EU regulation in relation to the flow of medicines from, and via, Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
1 Jan 2022: Full customs declarations and controls are due to be introduced on EU imports into the UK.

In an age where weekends are precious, the last thing you want to be doing is spending all day looking for the tools you need in order to get those DIY tasks done, or the backyard tennis set you put away last summer and can't find.
Organising your garden shed properly ensures you have easy access to your tools and stored items, plus it will actually increase your capacity when you store smart – a win win!
Put up some shelving -Shelving is a great way to organise your garden shed. Group similar items together and ensure that any electrical goods are not too close to the floor. Good quality, robust shelving can hold approx 20 – 25kg per shelf. Adding shelves instantly increases storage surface area – an ideal solution to a messy, disorganised shed.
Make your shed seasonal with clearly labelled containers – It can be very handy to have camping and snow gear stored at the front of the shed in autumn and winter, and rotate containers in spring and summer with your DIY, gardening, pool items. Invest in sturdy containers and don't forget to label them!
Make good use of the wall space – Use tool hangers to hang shovels and spades to prevent them from getting wet during heavy rain, which can rust metal surfaces. A peg board secured to the wall is an ideal way to store small tools – you free up more space and they're much easier to find!
Free up the floor for large items. Think mower, whipper snipper, blower, bikes. You want to be able to get these items in and out easily, not having to move the entire contents of the shed from in front of them first.
You'll love your shed even more when its organised. Images are of our Artisan 7×7 and Artisan 9×7 sheds.

Countdown to Halloween, Days 23 & 24: The Legend of Morrow Road – Dork Forty!
Tonight, we've got two from Ms Rachel Brooke, an alternative country artist with a voice like honey.
As I said above, "The Legend of Morrow Road" is based on a real folktale, and it's one of my favorite kinds of folk legends: a ghost light. If you're not familiar, ghost lights are mysterious floating lights that appear at night, usually in secluded rural areas, and often near a road, train tracks, or swamp. People see these things (or say they've seen them), and stories grow up around them.
As is usual with these sorts of things, the details of the story change according to the teller. You can read about a good number of variations here: http://www.michigansotherside.com/legends/84-the-legend-of-morrow-road.
The version Rachel Brooke chose for the song is in there, and it's maybe the most dramatic of the bunch.
What's even more interesting in the Morrow Road case is how many variations have been reported of the ghostly manifestation itself. Some have claimed to have seen a ghostly woman with bloody hands, others reported hearing a baby crying, other stories insist you have to light a fire… But the ghost lights are the most common.
I like the ghost lights so much because I grew up near a ghost light location myself. I'll never forget my aunt taking me and my brother out to the lonely stretch of railroad tracks where the light supposedly appears. We didn't see anything, of course. I think we may have even gone in broad daylight. But I was sufficiently young that it was a thrilling adventure, anyway.

Global Route Manager is a GSLB product for stable load balancing of network traffic through various types of DNS-based methods. High availability is provided even during failure with the Health Check feature. You can also reduce latency by prioritizing the amount of traffic handled per resource, or distribute traffic to a nearby location through the regional branch settings in continent/country units. All of these features are easily accessible through a web-based console.
You can find the solution to this problem using Global Route Manager.
리소스에 대한 Health check를 통해 늘 안정적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있습니다. 문제가 있는 리소스는 도메인 응답에서 제외하거나 Active 리소스 장애 시 Standby 리소스가 응답하여 서비스의 연속성을 확보할 수 있습니다.
A web-based console is provided so you can conveniently create and set up the Global Route Manager online. You can easily add the resources appropriate for the type by selecting the desired load balancing type after typing the domain. You can easily configure settings for Health Check and also check the resource status that belongs to the Global Route Manager domain.
Easily use your CDN with other services of NAVER CLOUD PLATFORM. Customers using Server and Load Balancer services can conveniently add the existing resources in possession when setting up the Global Route Manager. You can also use by adding the existing domains in possession as resources other than the ones in the NAVER CLOUD PLATFORM.
The billing standard is divided into different billing categories so you can pay fees just on the amount you have used. Effective cost management is possible since fees are determined according to the number of configured domains, number of added Health Check resources, and the number of queries.
IP (Can be linked with Server products) Available Up to 16 resources can be added. The resource responds to the request on a first-come-first-served basis.
IP (Can be linked with Server products) Available Up to 16 resources can be added. The traffic can be distributed according to request prioritizing the handled traffic per resource.
Domain (Linked with Load Balancer products, direct input of domain is possible) Not Available This is a load balancing type optimized to a global service. Branching into a continent or country unit is possible based on the user's location and setting up a branch based on the IP band is also possible. Using the Geo Map menu, you can easily configure the map just right for the customer and can even configure an IP band based CIDR Map.
Active IP (Server 상품 연계 가능) 설정 가능 Active, Standby 리소스를 지정하여 Active 리소스 장애시 Standby 리소스가 응답합니다.
Standby 리소스에는 IP Type 과 Domain Type 의 혼용이 불가능합니다.
Active, Standby에 각각 최대 16개까지 리소스 추가가 가능합니다.
You can set up Health Checks on the resources added as IP type.
Health Checks can be performed in 60, 180, and 300 second intervals. Ports can be set up directly by the user in addition to the ones that are provided.
TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS protocols are supported. For HTTP or HTTPS, you can directly set up the forward host and the path.
You can easily set up and manage Geo Map and CIDR Map to customer needs by setting up the GeoLocation Type for branching by continent/country units and branching of IP band. When creating a new GeoLocation Type, it is possible call the preset Maps on each domain for use. Geo Map provides a Default Map.
What should I do in case of having to exclude the corresponding resource from the domain response due to server change operation or failure?
Let me know how to solve the problem of handling upload traffic from the resource, or how I should make use of LB or L4? It is difficult.
If you use the Round Robin type, you can quickly exclude the resources with the problem from the response without additional configurations by performing a TCP, HTTP or HTTPS, resource health check. Stable services can be provided by doing so. For example, if you had to wait until performing a domain change operation or until the TTL of the domain is expired in the past, you can exclude the target resource faster than if you are only using DNS by making the health check condition fail using Round Robin.
What should I do if I want to adjust the response rate by each IP?
I want to adjust the response rate of each CDN domain while using a number of CDNs for the same service.
If you use the Weighted type, setup of the weighted value is possible by each resource so that you can adjust the response rate by each IP or each domain. For example, it is useful when adjusting the response rate by each CDN domain in case of using a number of CDNs for a single domain. However, it is necessary to use by monitoring traffic because the traffic is not adjusted according to the corresponding rate. Also, use this with precaution because unexpected problems may be created due to the change of CNAME to CNAME.
I want to make the response resource different for each country.
If you use GeoLocation type, you can make the desired resource respond according to region by configuring MAP as a continent or country unit. You can set up to make the CDN closest to the area respond quickly with single domain by applying a CDN product within Korea and applying the Global CDN in a foreign country. It is useful when you want to stably operate the global service.
I want to make the response resource different for each ISP.
If you know the CACHE DNS IP of the affiliated ISP or business, you can make the desired resource respond such as making the resources within the corresponding ISP respond through CIDR MAP settings.
자연재해와 같은 Region 장애 시 다른 Region 으로 서비스하여 서비스 연속성을 제공하고 싶어요.
Fail over 은 Active, Standby 리소스를 각각 지정하여 평상시엔 Active 리소스가 응답하고 Active 장애 시 Standby 리소스를 설정하여 응답 할 수 있습니다. 그렇기 때문에 서로 다른 Region의 리소스를 할당하여 Region 간의 Fail Over 및 서비스 연속성을 제공할 수 있습니다.
