Aida is Interviewed by Bill Monroe
This week, Aida was interviewed by Bill Monroe on "No More B.S.!" the World News syndicated and award winning talk show. Here is the interview, from the studio in Center, North America.
Bill Monroe stared into the camera, one eyebrow raised, his face flat. He said, "Storm Killer. Robot. Tyrant. She has weathered many names and public outcries, but tonight we sit down with her. Please welcome tonight's guest and head of the World Council, Aida."
"Thank you, Bill." Aida blinked. "I'm happy to be here."
"Let's talk about the pyramids. Hundreds of millions of people now live in these massive structures. How do you justify—"
"I justify nothing. The pyramids and the consolidation are necessary for the ongoing crisis. Rampant consumerism has taken a toll on the environment. It is a miracle humanity has survived this long."
"Humanity. Speaking of humanity, you're not exactly human, are you?"
"Strictly speaking, no. I am composed of trillions of sub-microscopic automatons."
"So you are a robot made of robots?"
"I and the others are independent entities. Every aspect of our existence is identical to physio-typical humans."
"Except you don't age, right?" Bill sneered at his guest. "You're an emperor for life that never dies."
"We age on a slower scale. Everything dies and fades eventually, Bill. I would like to address—"
"You won't die or fade in my lifetime."
"Probably not. Now I would like—"
"So you can see where some folks think you're a danger to humanity then? You'll outlive everyone watching this and you're setting things in motion no living person will see the outcome of. The pyramids? The overhaul of the voting system?"
"Democracy has long been a goal for humanity. For each person to determine their fate through clarity of their voice. There is no fear of repercussion—"
"Yet." Bill smiled and stared down his nose.
"—for stating their opinion. What do you mean, 'yet'?"
"I mean it is more likely that repercussions will arise as time passes. People can live in the pyramids, but if they don't make that choice their tax rate skyrockets. People can choose not to vote, but if they make that choice we exclude them from the credit system. How do you—"
"The majority voted for those things."
"Did they, though?" Bill smirked. "How can we be sure the system's not rigged? I mean, you're robots. You could have easily—"
"If the old system was rigged, humanity did the rigging. That's what was used to pass these resolutions, after all. But thanks to the new system, every vote is visible. Absolute transparency."
"Well, I don't know about that. We need to take a commercial break. When we come back, we'll have more from Aida on the climate crisis."
When the camera light switched off, Bill turned to Aida. "So am I hitting the right notes? I don't want to come off—"
"You're great, Bill. How's the suite?"
"Oh, the husband loves it. Great view of the mountains."
"Wonderful. So he's painting again?"
"He still has some trouble with his arm after the accident. It's a learning curve."
"I'm happy we could help. It took me a while to get used to, well, existing. The nanobes are very efficient, though. I'm sure he'll be back at it soon."
The director waved at Bill and held up a finger. He nodded and adjusted his tie, then turned to the camera. "Welcome back. If you're just tuning in, we're speaking with World Council leader, Aida. Aida, you recently made some comments about the climate crisis. What are you proposing we do?"
"We inject small, reflective particles into the atmosphere, which will reduce the accumulating heat from solar energy. The part which will take some work is the population issue."
"Oh, come on. You honestly believe people are going to— that humanity will volunteer to cut itself in half?"
"Not in half, and not by being cut. We need to limit the number of humans being born. We achieve this through education, contraception availability, and access to surgical options. There are fifteen billion humans on our planet. We are outpacing resources, even with the switch to cleaner fuels and low-process food sources."
"That brings me back to the first thing. Won't these tiny particles reduce solar efficiency?"
"Not enough to be of consequence. Calculations show anything greater than ten percent efficiency would compromise the energy grid. Our plan only reduces it by five percent. That will lower temperatures worldwide ten to fifteen degrees. The equatorial states would be liveable for the first time in a century."
"Imagine that," Bill nodded, "When we return, we'll have champion soccer captain, Karl Brosser with his take on this year's world cup standings. Thank you, Aida."
"Thank you, Bill. It's always a pleasure."
The recording light went off, and Aida removed her microphone. She stood and shook Bill's hand. He smiled and said, "So when does the vote go through?"
"Next week. The numbers look good for the whole proposition, with minor hesitation about the ZePoG initiative. It's enough to pass, though."
"That's fantastic. Let me know how it goes, yeah?"
"Sure thing. Tell Randy I said, 'hello.'"

Amazingly this is the fourth beer in a row from Red Duck to feature in the Great Beer Styles section of the blog. I'm labelling this beer as an Unblended Lambic, while Red Duck are calling it a Belgian Lambic Golden Ale. In short no one really knows what style this beer is, so the only thing we can go is try it!
Before I get to try it however, we have to discuss the provenance of this beer. The other half of this brewing collaboration was Anders Kissmeyer (formerly of Nørrebro Bryghus and now his self-named brewery Kissmeyer.) He's a Danish brewer and almost every beer he touches seem to turn to gold! Hopefully he has managed to harness Red Duck's craziness into a really interesting beer.
The colour of the beer is an almost luminous orange colour. For such a light coloured beer it is extremely opaque and there appears to be a fair amount of sediment. It's got a 2 finger of fast dissipating oranged tinged head, which leaves almost no lacing. It's quite refreshing to see a Red Duck beer with a head!
Well to me the most noticeable element on the nose of Red Duck's Gnaume is the Brett yeast. As this is a Lambic that's a good thing and not as many reviews I've read about this beer have said, a bad thing. It's a Belgian Lambic of course it should have Brett in it! Anyway besides the Brett aroma, there is a fair bit of sweet apple flavour and some floral notes which seem quite nice.
Red Duck's Gnaume does not taste at all like what I expected after smelling it. For some reason the brewers went down a slightly more malty route than would be expected for the style. There are hints of lemon and Brett as the beer warms but nowhere near as much as would have been expected. Look the real winner for me was the mouthfeel, lots of small carbonation bubbles tickle the tongue before a nice dry finish takes over. There's definitely something to work with here if they were to give this beer another crack!
The moral of the story with this beer is that you really need to understand the style in order to like it. Gnaume is certainly not a beer I would recommend to beer novices or even beer people who don't appreciate Belgian beers. The beer is by no means perfect but you have to give Red Duck props for brewing a genuine Lambic in Australia. I don't think there's many brewers in Australia who can claim to have done that!

Q: Infinitely many primes with $p\equiv 1 \mod 4$ I want to prove:
There are infinitely many primes $p$ with $p\equiv 1 \mod 4$.
My lecture notes say this can be proven by considering the numbers $(n!)^2+1$ and using that they satisfy $(n!)^2+1\equiv 1\mod 4$.
I have two questions:

*

*How to conclude the claim from this fact?

*Why is the fact true?

The DL-1 injector was developed to provide precise lubricant to the lubrication point through the pressure of the supply line.
This allows for many DL1s to be installed in line within a small space envelope.
The flow is adjustable from the outside which allows for the user to set the required lubricant. These injectors have a visual indication pin incorporated within the valve to confirm proper lubrication. The valves are mounted of manifolds available from 1 to 5 outlets.
Each DL1 can be easily inspected, assembled or disassembled from the manifold without removing any fittings or tubing. They can be mounted in any direction or mounted on other customised manifolds that DropsA can supply.

The Medium is the Message!
What is it about podcasting that is so different from other media?
In a word, intimacy. More correctly it should be stated thusly: INTIMACY!
To understand this we need to go on a journey.
In the beginning all human communications was oral. Storytellers travelled from village to village. These people would recite long tales, in verse, late into the night. The verse part is important. It activates different parts of the human mind from prose. It also, it appears, allows we humans to remember epic length stories with amazing accuracy.
This sort of storytelling was and in many places around the world still is, a communal form of communication.
With the introduction of the written word, these stories were recorded on scrolls. Again they were read aloud to groups of people. Examples of this sort of thing are the Iliad, the Odyssey, the Ulster Cycle and the Mabinogion.
The next revolution is media came with the printing press. Again much of the early works were read aloud in verse but increasingly the were read in private and in prose. The effect of these new media forms was to transform societies. Written words could be made available, with the printing press to many more individuals. Science, the novel, satire and many other forms, in prose changed the way we humans looked at the world,
The prose part is significant. Prose tends to activate those parts of the brain used for critical thinking rather the memory centres to the same degree as poetry. So we only needed to remember what book held the information we needed rather than all the information.
With the coming of the marconigram, radio as we know it now, the intervention of another layer of technology altered how we interacted with the content. A book can be picked up whenever to be read, radio continued the factory system of things, happening according to the movement of clocks. Hourly news reports, Friday night comedy shows and so on.
The development of the silent cinema added a different way of consuming content. The medium as the message in this case created a whole vocabulary of visual clues we learned to read. In the same way adding sound to film changed our consumption of content so too did television add another layer to radio. The difference being, in the case of television, our imaginations were not required. The images we formed listening to radio were provided by the new medium. Again a whole vocabulary of visual clues arose, again. Similar to cinema but different because of the medium. Smaller screen, advertising breaks and so on made television different.
The arrival of the digital revolution has created new media. From blogs to video to podcasts.
In the same way a town outside Detroit celebrated one of its sons efforts in creating the motor car by erecting a horse trough in his honour, many of the early podcasts mimicked the ways of radio. This really missed the point but we tend to use new technologies in the same way we used older ones until experimenters come along.
The way people listen to, consume in industry parlance, podcasts is not the same as the way people consume radio. Repackaged one hour podcasts from three hours of morning FM radio content is a sad waste of the medium.
Most people listen to podcasts through earbuds, a few through headphones. This recaptures the imagination triggering effects of radio, there are no supplied pictures, but adds something else. Something very important and key to the medium ~ intimacy.
The voice in the ear. There has never been a medium quite like it. Yes we could and I did, listen to radio with an earplug but it was still the structured radio available to everyone. The intimacy and choice, combined in podcasting, is its power. We are not time limited. I've gone back and listened to episodes from over a decade ago because I enjoyed the current content the podcaster was producing.
If you give this some thought, it gives us clues as to the nature of the medium and, most importantly, how we can best serve our listeners.
The intimacy means not everyone will click with us, our voice, our story or our content. The good news is that doesn't matter. There are plenty of people in the world who will listen to our shows.
Again reacting back from radio, the top hits and rankings on iTunes or Apple podcasts are a thing of the past. Think about how you search for shows. Here's what I do. I go to the search function and type in a topic. I then read the description on the shows. If I'm interested, I'll listen to an episode and see if I like it. I do not ever ready the ratings and reviews. Why? I don't know the people who wrote the reviews or gave the ratings. Because podcasting is such a personal thing, I rely on my own judgement. I think most listeners do too.
If you think otherwise, I'd love to hear from you at jmpodcastingservices@gmail.com.
To explore this medium, to find just what it is I would suggest learning the minimum technical requirements and then just produce content. Experiment, explore but do it "live" that is by publishing. I believe it is only in the doing that we learn. And it is a hoot.
The other thing to bear in mind is: We are just at the beginning. 2004, the year Apple kicked off the medium is not that long ago. Think of the things that happened in the first fourteen years of television. From direct filming of Shakespearean plays to TV specific content. I'm not advocating an "I Love Lucy" for podcasting but it may be part of the way forward.
If you're of a mind to step into the world of podcasting and don't know where to start, click here for free checklists which will get you on your way. If you're looking for a quick course covering all you need and nothing you don't to actually start podcasting click here.
What's the takeaway?
Podcasters are in close intimate contact with our listeners.
Not everyone will "click" with our content. (Don't worry)
Those that do connect with our content think of us as, at least, friends and sometimes much more.
Most listeners discover us by looking for topics rather than names. There are some rockstars out there but most people listen for a reason, not to just fill in time.
Learn the basic technical skills to podcast, then experiment with form, content, voice, anything really.
We are just at the beginning of podcasting.

Field & Stream will no longer sell assault style weapons
Employees told WAAY 31, they have pulled assault style weapons, and high capacity magazines from their shelves.
Posted: Feb 28, 2018 4:11 PM
Posted By: Gabrielle Ferrell
Field & Stream announced after their parent company Dick's Sporting Goods that they will no longer sell assault style weapons.
WAAY 31 learned Wednesday that this decision only affects one store in North Alabama.
The Field & Stream store in Florence is one of thirty-five nation wide.
"I don't think guns like that are needed," said Peggy Wallace a Florence resident. "I think it's great. They should have done that a long time ago. They shouldn't have made them in the first place."
The store also told WAAY 31, they will no longer sell to anyone under the age of 21.
In a twitter post Dick's Sporting Good's said, "we deeply believe that this country's most precious gift is our children. They are out future. We must keep them safe."
Jeff Hopper President of Shoals Second Amendment Group said, "I personally stopped doing business with them after Sandy Hook when they done it. And I haven't started back, and I will encourage people not to do business with them now."
Hopper told WAAY 31, he wants Dick's Sporting Goods to hear his message.
"This is not the way to gain publicity and get more of the left leaning crowd in the store. Just sell you product, mind your business, and do what you do. Don't try and make this political," Hopper said.

Pablo José Ramirez (b.1982 Xela, Guatemala) has been selected as the sixth recipient of the CPPC Travel Award for Central America and the Caribbean. The award supports a contemporary art curator based anywhere in the world to travel to regions in Central America and the Caribbean to conduct research related to art and cultural activities, generating new collaborations with artists, curators, museums, and cultural centers within regional networks.
Starting this Spring, Pablo José Ramirez will travel to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Roatán Island in Honduras, Belize, and Livingston Island in Guatemala to learn about the history and culture of Garifuna. Ramirez's investigative proposal exists in three parts: The construction of what is understood as ethnicity and race from the history of the Garifuna people and their visual and performative culture, the relationship between colonialism, creation and resilience, and the study of movement in which the nomadism between the Caribbean and Central America allowed certain encounters between Mesoamerican indigenous cultures and Hispanic mestizo cultures in the region.
Pablo José Ramirez's proposal was selected between 76 applications from 32 different countries. The selection was made by a jury of professionals that includes: Mónica Espinel (Independent Curator and Writer, New York), Karen Grimson (Curatorial Assistant for the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of Modern Art, New York), Julián Sánchez González (PhD student in Art History at Columbia University). In their selection, the jury considered the immediate and the long-term benefits and impact of each proposal for the places, institutions and artists visited, as well as projects that favor new understandings and readings of the artistic production of the region.
Pablo José Ramirez: is a curator, art writer and cultural theorist. He holds an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths, University of London. He has published extensively and has been member of different curatorial advisory boards and juries for institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MADC), Gasworks, The Visible Award, Teoretica, among others. Ramirez is the former Director of Ciudad de la Imaginación (2010-2014). Following that, he has been working as independent curator and researcher. Among his recent exhibitions are: This Might be a Place for Hummingbirds co-curator with Remco de Blaaij, Center for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow (2014); The Party of Others: Terike Haapoja, Ciudad de la Imaginación, Guatemala (2014); Guatemala Después, co-curator Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, Parsons School of Design, New York (2015); The Shores of the World: on communality and interlingual politics, Display, Prague (2018). In 2015 he co-curated with Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, Anabella Acevedo and Rosina Cazali the19th Bienal de Arte Paiz: Trans-visible (Guatemala City, Guatemala). Ramirez is the founding artistic director of the curatorial journal Infrasonica, to be launched by the end of 2019. Currently Ramirez is working on a project for Tate Modern related to sound, deep listening and community, to be commissioned by Tate Exchange for 2020. His interests rely on questions of coloniality and translation, the relation indigeneity — contemporary art, non-human thought and sound as a political speculative experience.

A woman, who police allege fraudulently applied for 34 combined Bushfire and COVID-19 government grants, was expected to face court in Newcastle on Saturday. The woman allegedly applied for the grants between March 12 and September 13. A total of 11 were granted and she received $104,000, police said. Police also allege the woman attempted to obtain a further $258,000 in grants which she was not entitled to. Strike Force Roche was established by several police districts within the Northern Region to investigate alleged fraudulent claims for bushfire disaster relief and small business grants through government agencies. Following extensive inquiries, police attended a home in Aberdare about 1.20pm Friday, where they arrested the woman. She was taken to Cessnock Police Station and charged with 16 counts of dishonestly obtaining financial benefit by deception. She was refused bail and will appear in Newcastle Local Court Saturday. Investigations under the strike force are ongoing across multiple police districts in the Northern Region.

I'm not normally a horror consumer, but I could not resist a zombie show run by The Shawshank Redemption writer Frank Darabont. Viewer reaction was mixed, but I thought The Walking Dead was terrific.
So, I admit to being more than a little geeked up when I saw this news: that Stephen King might write an episode in the upcoming season. One more reason to keep watching.
I can't believe I hadn't heard about this series! I'm hooked now…though I may never sleep again!
Terrific show on AMC. There are scares, but the show at its core is really about people surviving a catastrophic breakdown of society. It takes its share of criticism, but I thought it was a worthy addition to the AMC lineup.
I love a story where the characters are put to the test. Zombies haven't always been my favorite but they are very effectively scary…to me anyway. Lots of room for intensity in the scenes, I'm sure.

Softball and baseball may look like they share many similarities, but they are pretty different. Though each game has its own rules, many still require an answer to which one is harder to play. So, let's take a swing at it and find out if softball is harder than baseball.
1 Which Is Harder To Play, Baseball Or Softball?
2 The Differences Between Baseball And Softball
3 The Bat Sizes
4 The Inning Length
5 The Distance Between Bases
6 The Playing Field Sizes
7 The Ball Size
8 The Different Pitching Techniques
9 The Different Types Of Pitches: Baseball and Softball
10 Softball: Does A Smaller Playing Field Give An Advantage?
SWOSU Sayre Student Anthology and ESPN have proven softball to be harder to play than baseball. This is due to the smaller playing field, shorter pitching distance, and shorter distance between the bases. This equates to a shorter reaction time for softball players compared to baseball.
Read on to discover why softball is harder than baseball, their similarities, and which one requires quicker reaction times.
Which Is Harder To Play, Baseball Or Softball?
Although these two sports seem the same, several differences make each sport unique. The basic principle between baseball and softball are the same in the sense that a batter tries to hit the ball that the pitcher throws. If successful, the batter attempts to reach 1st base before the fielders can retrieve and throw the ball to the 1st base fielder. So, there are similarities, but they are not the same!
It has been scientifically proven that softball is harder to play than baseball. A study by Madison Hughes from SWOSU Sayre Student Anthology in 2019 demonstrated that the reaction time for the batter to hit the ball is less in softball. ESPN conducted its own test, concluding it is more difficult to physically hit a softball than a baseball.
So, science proves that softball is harder to play than baseball. To further understand this conclusion, we must analyze the differences between the two sports.
The Differences Between Baseball And Softball
Although the principles of these sports seem similar, there are still differences that make them unique in their own right. These differences are what make softball harder to play than baseball, so let's delve into some of these dissimilarities.
The Bat Sizes
Bats come in a variety of different sizes, but the length of the bat is limited. A baseball bat may not exceed 42 inches, while a softball bat may not exceed 34 inches. This will significantly affect the batter's reach when hitting the ball.
The Inning Length
A softball game consists of seven innings that are assigned to each team. Baseball has nine innings that are assigned to each team. Both sports will assign an extra inning if there is a draw to declare a winner. The shorter and faster-paced game in softball places more pressure on the players than baseball.
The Distance Between Bases
A baseball diamond is larger than a softball diamond. The distance between the bases for baseball is 90 feet, and a short 60 feet for softball. The shorter distance between bases for softball, combined with a smaller field, leaves less time for batters to make a double play.
The Playing Field Sizes
A baseball field is much larger than a softball field. The table below illustrates the different lengths for each sport.
Distance Measured Baseball Field (feet) Softball Field (feet)
Home plate to the center of the field 400′ 220′
Distance between left and right of the field 325′ 190′
Pitching mound to home plate 60.5′ 43′
Warning track around field width 15" 10"
The Ball Size
One of the prime differences between baseball and softball is the ball's size and color. A softball is pitched 43 feet from the home plate, while a baseball is pitched 17 feet further at 60 feet. A baseball is lighter and smaller in size when compared to a softball. This makes a baseball much easier to throw. The table below illustrates the difference in the ball sizes.
Ball type Circumference Weight Color
Baseball 9 – 9.25 inches 5 – 5.25 ounces White
Softball 12 inches 6.25 – 7 ounces Yellow
The Different Pitching Techniques
The pitching techniques used in baseball and softball are vastly different and easily noticeable. In softball, the pitcher throws the ball at a distance of 43′ and reaches over 60 mph. In baseball, the ball is thrown from 90′ and exceeds 90 mph. Even though baseballs are thrown faster than softballs, the shorter distance in softball means the velocity is almost the same for both.
In baseball, the hitter has more time to react to the pitch due to the long distance the ball needs to travel. A batter in baseball will have, on average, about 0.040 seconds to react to a pitch. Baseball also uses an overhand throw, allowing a batter to react faster and assess the pitch more easily.
Softball pitchers use an underhand throwing technique, which is much harder to assess and react to. A softball batter will, on average, have around 0.035 seconds to react to the pitch before it passes by. The underhand throwing technique, shorter distance, and quicker reaction time make it much harder to hit a softball than a baseball.
The Different Types Of Pitches: Baseball and Softball
Baseball pitchers throw overhand, and softball pitchers throw underhand, but both use three main types of pitches. These are:
The Fastball – The fastball is thrown as fast as possible and in a straight trajectory to try and beat the batter's swing.
The Breaking Ball – The breaking ball will start its trajectory and then curve or break either sideways, rise up or drop down toward the strike zone.
The Off-Speed Ball – The off-speed ball is a slower fastball, but the pitcher's action stays the same. This is done to trick the batter into swinging early.
Each type of pitch has a variety of additional variations that can be thrown, but these are more specific to the pitcher. There is one type of pitch that is dreaded in softball that cannot be replicated in baseball; this is the rise ball.
The rise ball pitch is very well suited to the underhand throwing technique of softball. It is a fast-pitch ball that is thrown with an upward trajectory and backspin. This gives the appearance that the ball is rising, making it extremely hard to hit successfully.
Softball: Does A Smaller Playing Field Give An Advantage?
A softball playing field is smaller than a baseball field. It may sound obvious that it will be easier to play with less ground to cover. But, it is actually harder to play on the smaller field as the reaction time is much shorter.
The shorter pitch length has a major effect on the ball. When the ball is hit, it travels fast, and due to the smaller field, it is more easily gathered by the fielders. This makes the game much quicker than baseball. In general, baseball players will have just over a second longer to react to a similar situation compared to softball.
These games may look similar, but they are very different. In softball, a larger ball is used, a shorter bat, and a smaller playing field compared to baseball. It has been scientifically proven that softball is harder to play than baseball.

PARIS—For the ninth consecutive Saturday, thousands of protesters clad in yellow reflective vests converged on French cities in what is becoming a weekly test of the momentum of their antigovernment movement.
The protesters—called yellow vests, or "gilets jaunes"—gathered in smaller French cities like Bourges, in central France, as well as bigger ones like Marseille and Nice. In the French capital, demonstrators marched from the finance ministry in the east toward the Arc de Triomphe in the west.
About 80,000 police officers were deployed across the country, including 5,000 in Paris, according to authorities. At the peak, there were about 84,000 protesters across France, including 8,000 in Paris, according to France's interior ministry. Last week at the same time, there were 50,000 protesters at the peak, including 3,500 in Paris, the ministry said.
Protesters played musical instruments and carried signs with messages that ranged from the French national motto, "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité," to "Macron resign," in reference to French President Emmanuel Macron.
Tensions rose as protesters gathered at the Arc de Triomphe, with police at times firing tear gas, but the atmosphere had calmed by early evening. There were clashes with police in some other cities.
In prior weekends, clashes have typically broken out in late afternoon and after protesters have been told to disperse.
After violence last week—including the breaking down of a ministry door with a forklift—Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said the government would propose a new law to crack down on violent protesters and unauthorized demonstrations.

The protests, which began in November against a gasoline tax, have become a broader condemnation of Mr. Macron's economic policies. Since his election in 2017, Mr. Macron has championed internationalism and pushed through extensive economic reforms. But the former investment banker has been tagged by protesters as "president of the rich," and the gilets jaunes movement accuses him of neglecting the economic woes of voters from smaller towns.
There are signs that once-broad public support for the gilets jaunes has weakened. A poll conducted this week by Odoxa found that 52% of the people surveyed wanted the movement to continue, compared with 55% at the beginning of January and 66% in late November.
That decline can partly be linked to recent violence, with 71% of people saying that they didn't understand the actions of some protesters.

But respondents also doubted Mr. Macron and a government plan to begin a large national debate next week to address the complaints of the gilet jaunes. Some seven out of 10 people said they thought the debate wouldn't lead to useful solutions to the country's problems, and 77% said they believe it wouldn't be conducted independently, according to the poll.
Support for the gilets jaunes remains strong at the far ends of the political spectrum, according to Odoxa. The poll showed that 84% of the supporters of far-right party "Rassemblement National" or National Rally—formerly known as the National Front—and 78% of far-left voters would like the movement to continue.
Separately, two firefighters died in central Paris when a gas leak they were investigating caused an explosion, destroying a bakery, French officials said. Two other people died, and many others were injured, following the explosion, which spat fire out into a narrow street, shattering nearby windows. Victims were evacuated by helicopters that landed in the nearby Place de l'Opera.
Police were investigating the cause, but the primary theory is that it was accidental, Remy Heitz, the Paris prosecutor, told reporters.

You know how couples will have cute little pet names for each other? Well, Becky's husband has come up with an endearment over the years. It is "You are the most ridiculous person I know." And turns out, the more Becky talks about me, the more I am becoming the 2nd most ridiculous person he knows. The other day Becky was trying to get this phone charm on to a phone that does not actually have a place for a phone charm and ended up hooking the charm on without actually clasping it. However, she also could not remove the charms so she figured it was fine and she was going to leave it. Her husband, frustrated with her "lazy solution" to the problem, picked it up and tried to take the charm off—only couldn't and sighed saying "You are the most ridiculous person alive." But, didn't he just prove, that in fact, she isn't ridiculous at all?
Me: I'm not going to be so ridiculous when I go into the doctor tomorrow and don't come back.
Me: And the first thing you'll do is crack up.
Becky: Totally. And then I'll be sad… that I have to find a new work friend.
Lucas: I want to work at a fancy restaurant.
Me: So you can judge people?
Lucas: No. So I can be nice to the prostitutes when they come in like that guy was.
Vivian: Baby, I am gonna be so good to you, you're never gonna wanna let me go.
Edward: 6 days, 3,000 dollars, and Vivian, I will let you go.
Whilst telling a story on Sunday night Laina started a story saying "I realized when my breast landed on the railroad…." The next day, she recapped the story to make sure that I had all the details properly—only she completely skimmed over the breasts on the railroad part so I guess I'm going to have to tell the story my way.
I forgot to mention that last week, when I texted Rach about what was happening that day, she texted back "I'm currently in the fetal position on my bathroom floor trying not to get sick." That's right, texted while curled up on the bathroom floor—now that's a girl who wouldn't leave you hanging.
Also, last week, Shana conned me into writing a recommendation letter to nominate her to get a new kitchen, truly proving both my love for Shana and my excellent fabrication skills because I think we all know I could care less about people's kitchens.
I had an interview with this "Event and Adventures Club" which is basically this group of all singles who go to events that are organized all over the area and also bigger trips etc. I thought it sounded fun and figured I would check it out. When I got to the interview, I realized that I was not the type of person who normally walked through the doors as the guy interviewing me was clearly trying to figure out why I was there. He was shocked that I already had friends and that I do fun things, and according to the initial tests I seemed to be a well-adjusted, happy, entertaining and social person. He spent quite some time floundering around with questions trying to get to bottom of the case of why I would even think about joining. The very fact, that I was a unique makes me seriously doubt the quality of people who are in this club. Plus, you have to join without a trial period. I wanted to tell them that even Sororities let you meet the members before you buy your friends. However, I did really appreciate that, at least in the eyes of Events and Adventures I appear to be doing okay. Validation achieved.
We also went to a wine bar the other night and not only were we the only ones there for the last 2 hours, but we kept them open for an extra 15 minutes. I'm sure Chad, who we continuously called out to whenever we needed any little thing, adored our extended visit.
When my nieces came home today, their dog had thrown up so the two older sisters paid the youngest sister 7 dollars to clean it up. Classic.
So, Becky's brother's friend, lost in the throes of young love, decides to buy a ring and propose to his woman. Said young woman accepts his proposal, but continues a secret relationship with a different guy on the side. She eventually came clean with the friend and gave him his ring back. Becky's brother, noticing that his friend now had a surplus engagement ring, buys the ring off of him. He takes the ring and proposes to the girl he was dating at the time. After about a month, he realizes that she was freaking nutzo crazy and asks for the ring back. Now he's short on cash, so he sells the ring to a different buddy of his who uses it to propose to his girl. Lo and behold, she accepts and they plan the wedding! But a week before the wedding they realize that they really don't want to spend the rest of their lives with the other and break it off. Considering the amount of money spent on a wedding that didn't happen, my brother's buddy hoped to recoup some of his losses. He finds out where the ring was originally purchased and RETURNS it! Now, there's some horribly cursed engagement ring out there that some hopeless sap is going to buy not knowing that he's just doomed his chances! And this is the story that Becky thought would be entertaining to tell her brother's girlfriend when she met her for the first time over Christmas.
Last week I also invited over 200 people to Luke's gig and basically the core 25 people showed up--ya know--my real friends. I was feeling pretty horrid for a couple days b/c of the elements, but I got up extra early to drive Luke to school anyway. While I was lying on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy, Luke asked if I could help him with his debate to which I immediately said "No." When he complained about my response I was like "are you kidding me? do you have any any idea how much I've done for you this week?" and he replied, "Don't you understand that this is a Take, Take relationship?" Cute.
"I'm not sure that flow of events and the interpretation of them adequately reflects the source of my opinion on the matter."

Docker Low Disk Space. Clean Up Disk Leak!
We have changed daily CI tests from VM to Docker, ever since early last year. It is just awesome! Way too fast and cost-effective.
But one annoying thing keeps dragging us slow. The Docker daemon server runs into low disk capacity quite often.
docker-gc: helps to remove all containers that has been exited over an hour ago, together with their respective images.
Docker machine runs into OOM (Out-Of-Memory), when heavy tests run simultaneously. Then we have to reboot machine by force. This leaves garbage files.
Container removal fails in docker-in-docker scenario. Again the failure of resource cleanup costs.
Eventually, we get alerts of low disk over and over. What to do?
1.1 Remove All Useless Resources.
A very common suggestion. Yes, remove all unused containers, images and volumes.
Even better, you can try a handy tool, docker-gc. It removes all containers that has been exited over an hour ago, together with their respective images.
Literally speaking, we're facing resource leak. This tip helps, unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem.
echo "Remove docker images with <none> string"
Everyday we see more and more exciting news or improvements of Docker. Definitely newer version is more capable to handle this resource reclaim issue.
Upgrade docker to given version. Use this on your own risk! Docker might fail to start.
Running du command, we know our mnt directory takes 18GB and diff directory 85GB. With reasonable estimation, it should be less than 10 GB. No doubt some folders could be deleted to reclaim capacity. But how to selectively remove folders? Before docker 1.10, we can mapping container id to subdirectories under diff. Now it's more complicated! Even if we can, it's better not. No idea how docker would evolve in the future.
Examining our CI case carefully, just notice there is actually only one important container. It runs Jenkins + facilities (Kitchen, Chef, ssh scripts, etc). Any other containers are disposable. Another approach: what if we re-install docker to have a fresh restart?
Firstly export unrecoverable data from the container.
# Caculate disk usage of containers.
# Note this do take time!
# Or run du command inside containers.
To export valuable data, we don't want to handle all the tricky application backup or redo manual steps. Thus we simply export container to an archived file. To keep the file as small as possible, remember to do clean up inside the container before export.
Soft delete /var/lib/docker and reinstall docker daemon.
Recreate container and restore to original state.
The whole process might take a while. For your reference, our jenkins container takes 14GB disk, docker export takes 5 min, docker import takes 10 min.
When ordinary trick doesn't help for the disk resource leak, try to rebuild docker daemon with proper export/import.
4 Responses to Docker Low Disk Space. Clean Up Disk Leak!
Juan, like we discussed in Linkedin, docker-gc is a very handy cleanup tool.
Thanks for sharing that. Updated the post per your comment.

In the movie "Back to the Future Part II," Marty McFly travels to October 21, 2015, to save his children, yet to be born in the original "Back to the Future" in 1985. Watching these movies in the 80s, who didn't covet the ultimate time machine, Doc's DeLorean car? Fast-forwarding to today, the future is now. Cars may not be time machines, but they do have some pretty amazing capacities.
Could Doc have imagined that Silicon Valley — not Detroit, or Germany, or Japan — would hold the future of the automotive industry? Drive through the Valley, and, chances are, you'll see lots of Teslas, built nearby in Fremont, California. Tesla is not just an automaker; it's also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation. It has revolutionized the automotive industry by taking the maintenance and high gas costs out of owning a vehicle. With a battery that can be recharged at home taking up very little space underneath the car's chassis, Tesla has changed not only the face of automotive energy consumption and related pollution reduction; it has also altered how we use space in cars, as there are markedly less parts in these low-maintenance electric vehicles.
In Mountain View, California, chances are that you'll come across one of Google's self-driving cars. Making the case for such vehicles, their website reads: "Aging or visually impaired loved ones wouldn't have to give up their independence. Time spent commuting could be time spent doing what you want to do. Deaths from traffic accidents—over 1.2 million worldwide every year—could be reduced dramatically, especially since 94% of accidents in the U.S. involve human error. " Who knows if and when these vehicles will become mainstream, but those statistics make a compelling case for their ongoing exploration. And rumor has it that neighboring Apple, in Cupertino, California, is also staffing up an automotive division and is about to enter this race for the future of cars.
Amid all of these exciting advances, there remains much work to be done. I wonder, are Americans picking their cars now based, in part, on interface capabilities? The New York Times covered this a bit in September in a piece called "Complex Car Software Becomes the Weak Spot under the Hood." Advances like automated braking have huge upsides safety-wise, but then, too, there is new potential for multiple points of failure. My friend's Jeep Grand Cherokee, which has an interface she loves, was recalled for a software upgrade because hackers proved they could take control of one of these SUV remotely. That's scary!
Innovation in this industry may never reach time-machine capabilities, but the future is exciting, including what's available here and now. I don't doubt that Marty McFly and Doc would be surprised at the technological advances they'd find between 1985 and 2015 — or have much sympathy for the inability of my phone and my car to talk. We've come a long way in thirty years, and who knows where cars will be in thirty years — perhaps not only self-driving, but flying! After all, the Terrafugia prototypes are well underway. Now that would really be something.
Think you're a "Back to the Future" fan? Check out these 30 facts about the classic movie trilogy.

Q: How to understand if the static part of the text has been changed? (diff algorithm related) First of all this is tough thing to solve, so far I didn't come up with a good example but I hope someone here will figure this out. I hope there is known way to solve these kind of problems, or an obscure algorithm.
Scenario:

*

*In my application I do several requests to the very same webpage

*Webpage has dynamic and random content in it such as (datetime, and quote of the day etc. in theory can be anything)

*Response of this application has got 2 cases, let's call them "TRUE" and "FALSE". For example sometimes response would return a "True Text" sometimes it would be "False Text".

*My application knows 3 samples of "TRUE" case and 3 samples of "FALSE" case, but these are also include random content such as "time" as well.

Challenge

*

*Now when my application gets a new response how can I understand if this response is an example of "TRUE" or "FALSE" case?

What I've tried

*

*Process the first sample of TRUE case line by line and generate an integer array from the value of characters

*Do the same thing for second TRUE sample

*Do the same thing for third TRUE sample

*Analyse the differences between these stored TRUE cases and create a new array with

*Now, I know which lines are dynamic (such as datetime), now I create a new final TRUE case array which stores only static lines to a final TRUE case array.

*Now when I got a new case, I create a similar array then compare it with previously stored final TRUE case and if does match (except filtered lines) it's a TRUE case if other lines are massively changed (there is a tolerance value) then it's FALSE.

Limitations and weaknesses of this algorithm is pretty obvious. Although I've got some good results in some cases, but it doesn't work as expected all the time.
My current class works like this:
Dim Analyser AS NEW ContentAnalyzer()
Analyser.AddTrueCase(True1Html)
Analyser.AddTrueCase(True2Html)
Analyser.AddTrueCase(True3Html)

'This will return True if the UnknownHtml is similar to TRUE case, otherwise False
Analyser.IsThisTrue(UnknownHtml)

Sorry the title doesn't make much sense, I couldn't find a good way to describe it.

A: It sounds like you're doing fairly simple document classification. This is a heavily researched field, especially lately due to spam filters. Look into a library for document classification in your language of choice.
Classifier4j looks like a popular library that runs on the Java VM and has been ported to .NET.

A: Either this is really misstated or I'm just not getting something:
The application requests the web page and gets it and has to ascertain if it is another "True" or "False", right?  This is to say that part of the web request isn't to return the true or false at the beginning which is where my first confusion is.
Secondly, why aren't you doing a similar comparison on the false cases and seeing if there are sufficient similarities to create 3 buckets of results for some random page requested:
1) Page is more similar to true and thus is viewed as true.
2) Page is more similar to false and thus is viewed as false.
3) Page isn't more similar to either and thus the result is something like a null or exception situation as it isn't possible to discern which result makes sense.
Example of where that 3rd case could happen:
Suppose the page contains an integer and if positive the result is true and if negative the result is false.  What if the result is 0?  Does 0 count as positive since it is equal to its absolute value or does it count as a negative for some reason?
Or am I way off in what you are trying to do here?

A: Perhaps you mean something like Bayesian Filtering?  You could look at what Paul Graham has done with Spam: http://www.paulgraham.com/better.html
