Working Remotely means plain and simply, working from home. You have a home base that you stick to and you make the day to day choice to venture from home to go and work in a coffee shop, or a co-working space, or a park or where ever your little remote heart desires.
My hope for this blog is to provide you with tips to help you succeed as either a remote worker or a digital nomad- or both! I am also a strong believer in having a good work/ life balance and when you work from home it can be difficult to separate the two- if you're like me you can easily end up working all the time, but it can also be easy to get distracted.
No need to worry. Don't get discouraged. I'm here to help. Together we will build a community of strong, productive, happy remote workers and digital nomads!


The digital games market is a fast growing market within Creative Industries sector: the global demand for digital games is expected to grow 10% annually in the next years. Games could represent a new source of growth for European economy, but many regions are still missing adequate policies and funding schemes which could sustain this market. Further, funding and support mechanisms often do not meet the special needs of the small innovative game developers.
Aim of the BOO-Games project is to support the public regional development authorities in understanding the importance of the games industry for the European economy. Particularly, it focuses on the challenges policy makers are either not yet aware of or which they are already facing, as game relevant questions move up on the political agenda due to their economical and societal impact.
Thus the project centres on different elements, among them: public funding, private investment incentives, talent incubation, cluster development and improvement of public perception of digital games potential as well as risk management for public authorities in the communication on game related matters. Matching together regions more advance in this field (as France, Germany and UK), with regions with less experience, the project will promote mutual learning and by mean of interregional cooperation it will improve the effectiveness of local development policies targeting the digital interactive media strategy.

The central idea at play in international relations has always been that of states interacting with one another in the pursuit of their national interest. Many international relations personnel's have always argued that foreign affairs starts with domestic affairs, this has proved itself to be true in many case studies in world affairs like that of South Africa Prior and post 1994. Since 1994 the policies of south Africa has been that of restructuring and correcting the injustices of the apartheid governments both domestically and internationally and finding its place in international politics, since the republic of south Africa was isolated from international politics because of the policies they pursued domestically. Prior 1994 the foreign policy of South Africa was acting upon the interests of the white minority laying aside those of the black majority and it was primarily based on the constant search for security. In contrast to that the foreign policies pursued by the post apartheid governments have been that of restructuring domestic issues and transforming South Africa into an internationally recognized global actor.
The Essay on US Foreign Policy in Africa
... States Department of State, the foreign policy approach for South Africa and the larger Africa is Transformational Diplomacy ("US Foreign Policy in Africa for 2007"). The principle being ... expounded in this kind of foreign policy approach ...
This paper seeks to compare the foreign policies of South Africa post apartheid till the end of the President Mbeki's period and that of the emerging Zuma administration. This is to show that there is continuation from the previous administrations, but then the question arises is the South African foreign policy a stationary or uniform type of policy since the obtainment of democracy? No this may not be the case because the ultimate determinant and fundamental objective for states to conduct foreign policy is for the pursuit of their national interest, so this assignment seeks to clarify the confusion that the Zuma administration foreign policy will change of course it is not the exact equivalent as the other policies but it continues to pursue national interest.
2. Definition of key concept
2.1 Foreign policy: – according to Jones (1970:11) Foreign policy is the collection of measures by no means essentially coherent, utilized by Governments or decision makers of a state to meet the interests best suited to their state, this is to say foreign policy is not a perfect course of action it does not exist in a plane different from the rest of human activities. "It is never free from muddle, from mistaken information, from the clash of perspective, from human infirmity in all its social guises. But it is a specific area of political activity with some kinds of difficulties, but it is not a cut off from other areas and it does not exist in some kind of special medium", Jones (1970:11).
2.2 national interests: – this includes self preservation, independence, territorial integrity, military security, economic wellbeing and this is the basic determinant of states to engage in foreign relations, Mingst (2008:63).
3. The Mandela foreign policy
According to Landsberg (2007:251) before the 1994 democratic elections the African National Congress (ANC) had already started to make promises of restructuring the foreign policy of the Republic of South Africa, strengthening regional cooperation as well as continental integration as it had already had special affiliations with countries which supported it in the anti apartheid movement as well as those that were affected by that regime of racial discrimination. As soon as the ANC took its place in power after winning the elections with a two thirds majority they started their duty and felt it worthwhile to restructure the foreign policies of their predecessors, so they chose a "highly moralistic and principles driven foreign policy" which was however hard to implement because it had to let go of all security considerations. The key actor in South Africa's foreign policy was the department responsible for international relations and cooperation which was the department of foreign affairs, it together with government drafted guiding principles for behavior of foreign relations Landsberg further quotes the minister of foreign affairs when he said that the basic tenets of foreign policy of south Africa are principles which determine the kind of nation and world they envisaged, Landsberg (2007:252).
The Essay on British Foreign Policy Since 1945

In May 1960 South Africa decides to end its domination status and became independent; ... independence of South Africa led to racial segregation. Britain at the time was ...
Furthermore the foreign policy of the Mandela administrations was highly driven by a highly moralistic figure a president of the first democratic South Africa "Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela" who was not only a president but a world icon who reinstated hope to the entire world, the Mandela driven foreign policy attracted investors and won home status and world acknowledgment. Also the diplomacy of the 1994-1999 put a great emphasis on three important aspects namely human rights, democratization and respects for law especially the international law; it also played an important role in bridge building between the global north and the immediate south, Landsberg(2004-159).
Put to practice the foreign policy of the Mandela administration was too idealistic contrasted to power politics at play in the diplomatic arena. There are several examples to prove this like the Nigerian crisis 1995 where South Africa was in favor of the political prisoner (Abiola) who was then to be a leader and was also in favor of the nine Ogoni leaders not to be executed, but Abacha went the other side with this and continued with the executions. The South African republic felt betrayed by these means and tried to impose sanctions to the Nigerian government but failed because of the pulling back of western powers and other African states this resulted to South Africa adopting the "quiet diplomacy style" of doing things. Another examples includes the two Chinas policy because of the dispute these states the Peoples Republic of china and Taiwan had after Taiwan's request to be independent from China, but then majority of the international community recognized the PRC while the remaining minority recognized Taiwan SA included so the Mandela driven policy recognized both actors hence it is called the two Chinas policy, Landsberg (2007:252-253).

Furthermore inside the ANC there was a conflicting interest as there were different personnel's "such as those from exile, those who remained in SA, Africanists, Charterists, communists, workerists and others", Landsberg (2010:104).
Also the arms sales where in conflict with the pursued ethics driven foreign policy as there then governing government said before being elected that" their future foreign policy cannot be determined by shadowy merchants of death in foreign countries", Landsberg (2010:111).
4. The Mbeki foreign policy
After serving the nation with pride President Mandela felt it worthwhile that he hands over power to MR Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki who had served as deputy in his administration and who has been serving the ANC prior 1994 as a person reliable for international relations and cooperation. Landsberg (2004:160) describes Mr. Mbeki as a "pan-African who often combines vision with public management and putting in place institutions and mechanisms needed for the realization of his vision". Landsberg (2004:160) further defines Mbeki as a practical person whom principle came second for achievement of a long term strategic goal, contrasted to Mandela Mbeki was upright about race and fought to put Africa as hegemony in world affairs. Moreover the ANC led government inherited a divided nation and divided economies "one nation of the haves and those of the have not's", Landsberg (2010:123).
these were some of other issues that the Mbeki led administration had to address carefully because the previous administration laid a foundation of cutting ties with the past and moving on to a rainbow nation south Africa with the ethics driven foreign policy, which this is some of the critical challenges faced by the Mbeki government. However this administration somehow succeeded in addressing the issues at hand of reuniting the nation and economic reform this can be seen through the socioeconomic policies they pursued the "growth employment and redistribution" (gear) and accelerated and "shared growth initiative for south Africa" (asgisa) following the program of their antecedents the "reconstruction and development program" (RDP) and Black economic empowerment (BEE) to empower the previously disadvantaged, all of these policies were meant to redress the issues at play in the domestic arena, Hirsch(2005:104).

However South Africa continued its role of bringing back together Africa as outlined in the department of foreign affairs strategic plan that "they will continue to pursue national interest and pursuing the SADC interest together with Africa, DFA (2005:3).
with their steward, who was prominent in African affairs and brought by policies that were to address issues such as poverty reduction, debt relief, racism and underdevelopment and Africa's identity in international politics with the most famous idealistic concept of "African renaissance" which made him one of the major authors and lucid interpreter of the "new partnership for Africa's development"(NEPAD) which gave birth to the "African peer review mechanism" (APRM) which its fundamental objective was democratization of African States, and all of this was led by the Mbeki administration. Furthermore President Mbeki was seen as the "foremost African peacemaker and multilateralist, a founding father and first chairman of the new African Union" which replaced the antiquated Body of African Unity, "a main player and outgoing chairman of the Non-Aligned Movement, Africa's strongest voice in the globalization debate between the rich North and the poor South, and the super-diplomat who has succeeded in placing Africa high on the global agenda", Oliver (2003:1).

Furthermore the Mbeki administration was elected new chair of the G77 adding China, which is a partnership of 77 developing countries present in the United Nations, this G77 was established in 1964 comprising 77 states in in the 132 present at the united nations, SA began its position as chair in 2006 January and put to emphasis south south cooperation's making strong economic and technical affiliations which will challenge the north who were in position of domination, Landsberg (2010:172).
Moreover the General assembly of the UN elected South Africa into the temporary security council membership from 1st of January 2007 to 31st December 2008 this showed that South Africa's young and prominent democracy was legitimate and trusted as it gained majority vote when elected to the position, Landsberg (2010:183).
The Mbeki administration foreign policies addressed many of the subject matters that were inherited from the apartheid governments, however president Mbeki did not finish his second term in office resulting from being outvoted in the polokwane conference which took place December 2007 and resulted to him handing his resignation from being head of state September 2008. This led to Mr Kgalema Motlante who was elected deputy president of the ANC in the Polokwane to take over as acting president immediately until the new government was elected into power in the third democratic elections which took place March 2009. President Motlante's duty was to continue where president Mbeki left off and finish up his duty in office in time for the new government to take over.
5. The Zuma foreign policy
The Zuma led administration began its term in office officially on April 2009, with the Mbeki administration casting a very immense shadow, the Zuma administration was left to fill very big boots left by president Mbeki in international cooperation and foreign policy decision making. However the ANC has always been a powerful engine in the drive for democracy and continued to be like that after the break away of the president Mbeki's allies and loyals to formation of the so called "congress of the people" Cope, which was to combat the ANC led government. However the party continued as always and continued to grow stronger as President Zuma renamed other departments and added some few, this was done to speed up economic and security developments examples of this includes:- the establishment of the NATIONAL PLANNING COMMISION in the presidency, the newly formed "Department of economic development" which is responsible for the country's economic policy, also the renaming of the ministry of foreign affairs to international relations and cooperation and others, this act by the president is said to push forward the country's development and also achieve the Mandela task of rebuilding the nation and the visions of a "truly non racist, non-sexist and united in its diversity south Africa, Landsberg (2010:197).
The Essay on Seretse Khama Africa South Botswana

Botswana was believed to ... that Britain must distance itself from institutionalized racism in South Africa, and decided to allow Seretse and Ruth home ...
However the strategic plans of the ministry of international relations and cooperation still continue from that of the Mbeki administration the visions of "pursuing the interests of the nation and Africa together with SADC", DIRCO (2009:3).
However the Zuma administration foreign policy is not that different with the Mbeki's as it continues with the Quiet diplomacy in Zimbabwe and continuing its role in Africa as a peacekeeper, this is visible through the recent events of democratization in the Arab world where south Africa led a group of other African states on behalf of the AFRICAN UNION to resolve the Crisis in Libya where president Muammer Gaddafi refuses to step down in his position of leadership, in an interview with the SABC president Zuma confirmed that president Gaddafi had agreed to the deal placed by the African leaders and also accused the US and other western powers of not taking Africa serious and not trusting it in resolving its problems, this follows the killing of Gaddafi's eldest son and children by the NATO forces. In addition the Zuma led government will see South Africa as a most prominent actor in the world stage after joining a bloc of trade relations with powerful countries namely the BRIC which the acronym of the first letters of each member country the Brazil Russia India China now known as the BRICS with South Africa included. It is said that "The transfer of technologies in agriculture and manufacturing could benefit South Africa as it tries to move along a path of sustained growth in employment" also "The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) says it will seek direct foreign investment in value-added industries. The DTI sees collaboration in research as one key area that could be strengthened by the membership newly gained from the BRIC community" (//www.uj.ac.za/EN/Newsroom/News/Pages/SouthAfricamakingitsdebutatBRICSsummit.aspx ) this could realize the dreams envisaged by both antecedent presidents of the republic to see South Africa as hegemon in world affairs.
6. Is it a continuity or change?
From the above presented information about the foreign policy of South Africa post 1994 it is visible that there is continuation from each transition, apartheid South Africa left South Africa with a legacy of divided community or nation as well as a divided economy which were issues of address by the democratic governments who followed. The Mandela driven foreign policy laid a foundation with their ethics driven foreign policy aimed at pursuing national interest and correcting the injustices of apartheid both domestically and internationally, with their domestic policies of unifying the nation since it was divided over apartheid. The Mbeki administration foreign policy continued from the Mandela administration because of putting the interests of Africa, SADC and the nation in the forefront, but the Mbeki led foreign policy put more focus on Africa with the African renaissance concept of unifying Africans and putting Africa as hegemony in world affairs with the formation of the NEPAD and the APRM, being elected chair of the G77 and getting temporary membership in the UN security council getting the majority vote in this election, one cannot help it but say that the Mbeki administration was successful in achieving the national interest of south Africa, also with the domestic policies of correcting the injustices of apartheid namely the BEE, the GEAR following from RDP, ASGISA and others.
However the Zuma administration foreign policy has not drifted from those of their antecedents, the foreign policy continues pursue national interest strengthening regional cooperation as well as African cooperation, also with the new membership in BRIC making it BRICS this could be part of the vision of seeing South Africa and Africa as Hegemon in world affairs and as a prominent actor in African politics with the recent events of the African union sending its delegates in a stunt of peacekeeping in Libya which was led by south Africa, president Zuma was also heard saying Mbeki's words saying "the US and other western powers disregard Africa in solving its matters". Although leaders and their personalities play an important role in foreign policy decision making, the change of leadership in South Africa's foreign policy decision making saw a small change but continued to pursue national interest and putting Africa as one of their major role in foreign policy.
This essay has discussed the foreign policy of South Africa post 1994 from the Mandela period till the end of the Mbeki period contrasted to that of the Zuma administration, this was done to show that though there is leadership change but the foreign policy shows that there is continuity in terms of national interest. The post-apartheid governments have done a great job in uniting the nation that was divided in the apartheid regime also the systems socio economic that were in favor of the minority. Furthermore this essay has shown the centrality of Africa in their foreign policies which then leads us to the conclusion that the Zuma foreign is continuing from that of its antecedents and continues to pursue national interest.

La marmite diabolique (1902)
Directed by Gaston Velle
Cast unknown
What it is: Early trick short
A cook throws a young boy into a boiling pot, thus incurring the wrath of a devil.
Adventures in movie-hunting: The Walt Lee guide from which I culled this title lists the movie as being a 1903 production directed by Gaston Velle and produced by Pathe Freres. The problem is that this listing mixes up things. There are two movies of the same title: one from 1902 directed by Velle for Lumiere, and a 1904 version with an unknown director for Pathe Freres. The first of these is extant, while the second one is lost, so I'm going to use this listing to both review the extant version and write the other one to my "ones that got away" list.
The IMDB listing is for the 1904 version, and the plot description there almost sounds like the 1902 version, except it has events out of order and events that don't occur; it was obviously a remake of this one. It's a fairly ordinary trick short, similar to the many Melies shorts of the time, though it lacks the energy of those shorts. This earlier version is available currently on YouTube for anyone who might be interested. It is, however, nothing particularly special.

PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Feedmill is one of the largest animal feed companies in Indonesia. One of the obstacles experienced by PT. Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Feedmill Balaraja is the downtime due to the replacement of the (sifter change) sieve fabric that is on the pellet machine 7. The frequency of downtime caused by the replacement (sifter change) of this sieve cloth occurs 2-3 times in 1 month. The method used to solve and analyze downtime problems is to use DMAIC with the five why's Analyze tool. There are several factors that cause downtime because the fabric is not strong vibration sieve, the fabric is too tight, and blacu material is not durable. Proposed improvements made is to install verloop and change the installation method of the sieve fabric. The result of the improvement is reduced the frequency of downtime to 2 times in 2 months and reduce waste cost. The Results of the implementation will be compared in the last 2 months, February and March 2018, company achieve cost savings Rp. 194.645.793,00 in terms of pellet, while in terms of packging Rp. 193.208.052,00. Another Sugesstion is to control the sieve fabric by the checklist.

Q: how to remove the first two elements and the last two elements of a list? the following code is not possible, because it can only remove the first two or last two.
delements(L,L1):- append([_,_],L1,L),append(L1,[_,_],L).

A: You should not reuse L1 and L in the same list. You need an extra variable here:
delelements(L, R) :-
    append(M, [_, _], L),
    append([_, _], R, M).
So here M is a list that contains the elements of L, except for the last two. R is a variant of M, except that the first elements are removed.
This then give us:
?- delelements([1,4,1,3,0,2,2,5], R).
R = [1, 3, 0, 2] ;
false.

Furthermore we do not need to use append/3 [swi-doc] to remove a fixed number of elements from the head. We can use unification for this:
delelements(L, R) :-
    append([_, _ | R], [_, _], L).

A: trim(X,Y) :-
    append([[_,_],Y,[_,_]],X).

The Baths of Trajan were constructed by the great architect Apollodorus of Damascus for Emperor Trajan right next to the smaller Baths of Titus. They were about the size of the Baths of Caracalla and the Baths of Diocletian which were built later. Only fragments survive within the park Parco Oppio, mostly consisting of three great exedra. With the creation of these baths, the demolition of Nero's Domus Aurea was almost completed. The baths are currently (2012 and 2013 and probably several subsequent years) undergoing excavation and restoration, but are easily visible within the park.
In the northwest corner of the park, at the intersection of Viale dei Monte Oppio and Via delle Terme di Tito. It is pictured from the inside in the 1st photo below, from the edge in the 2nd photo below, and from the outside in the 3rd photo below. There are explanatory signs at both the left side of the exedra (as you face the inside of it) and at the right side of the front.
When you're at the right side of the front of the northwest exedra, there is a path which runs southeast away from the exedra, crosses Viale dei Monte Oppio, and continues to a large wall fragment on the right, with a lesser remains of an exedra just to it's left. That's the second exedra, pictured in the 4th photo below.
See all Baths of Trajan photos.
I must also admit that there are two other exedra that might be part of the Baths of Trajan, or might be part of the Baths of Titus; I just don't know. Start by entering the park from the south, from the stairway opposite the end of Via Celimontana. Once you climb the staircase, a short way down the path, on your left you'll see the exedra shown in the photo below, which is the first of those two exedra. For the second exedra, back up slightly to the road that runs back toward the Colosseum, which you'll find before you go back down the staircase. Head on that road toward the Colosseum and you'll reach a small parking lot on the right before you pass through the gate back onto the main roads. At the end of that parking lot is a large half-exedra on the left, and a shorter, continuing half-exedra on the right. You might be able to see these from within the park, but the fences preventing access are quite a ways back.

IUF and Danone agreement on limiting precarious employment
The IUF and the French-based food products transnational Danone have signed a ground-breaking Agreement on Sustainable Employment and Access to Rights built around a joint commitment to promote "permanent, direct employment as an essential foundation for a sustainable business anchored in respect for human rights." With this Agreement, Danone and the IUF establish a framework to bring about continuous progress in limiting or reducing precarious forms of employment through a process of monitoring and negotiation.
The Agreement affirms the essential contribution of permanent direct employment to successful business performance and a positive social footprint in Danone workplaces and beyond, grounded in respect for human rights. It details the specific ways in which "fixed-term contracts and outsourced employment relationships may have the effect of depriving workers of the protections and the rights they are due", and aims to ensure that employment on fixed-term contracts is limited to where it can be clearly identified as temporary and non-recurring. Local management and trade unions, according to the agreement, are to jointly identify the circumstances where fixed-term employment and/or the outsourcing of services may be introduced by mutual agreement, and will regularly review developments in order to limit these forms of employment.
Danone will promote the application of the Agreement at operations in which the company has minority ownership and at Danone Group suppliers. Danone and the IUF will actively encourage local unions and management to engage in the implementation process and will monitor progress through a regular review process at global level.
"Workers and their trade unions have become increasingly concerned by the multiple barriers to the effective exercise of rights posed by fixed-term and outsourced employment relationships," says IUF General Secretary Ron Oswald. "With this agreement, the IUF and Danone have succeeded in establishing a framework and a practical basis for negotiating concrete solutions which will facilitate workers' full access to the rights set out in international Conventions and standards. We now look forward to the implementation process."


A panel of experts recommended different ways of hardening companies against ransomware attacks, including better backups, insurance and perhaps even paying.
SAN FRANCISCO—Ransomware will continue to cause pain for companies in 2017, but there continues to be no single successful strategy to prevent or reduce the damage caused by this disruptive malware.
For many companies, backups will provide a reliable fall-back measure if the company's data is encrypted via ransomware. Yet, recovering data from backups is expensive and not always successful, according to a panel of security experts at the RSA Conference.
There is no single measure to prevent a ransomware attack and no single product at the conference that will save a company from a ransomware infection, Gal Shpantzer, CEO of Security Outliers, told attendees.
As ransomware continues to be the great bogeyman in 2017, companies will have to develop a strong security strategy to protect their businesses against disruption. If they don't, they may find themselves relying on the good will of cyber-criminals holding critical data for ransom from half a world away.
The panel of three experts essentially split on the question of whether even to pay the ransom.
Cyber-criminals who have built up the illicit business of ransomware have an incentive to reliably deliver data back to the victims who pay, Michael Duff, CISO of Stanford University, told attendees.
Yet, other panelists pointed out that relying on cyber-criminals to be trustworthy and competent is not a recipe for success.
In addition, companies that pay also fuel the business model, Jenkins said.
For companies worried about getting their business back up and running, the larger question of giving criminals long-term reasons to keep ransomware going is completely irrelevant, said Gal Shpantzer, CEO of Security Outliers.
Companies may also want to have someone who has some facility with bitcoin, because that is generally the method of payment for ransomware. When the clock is ticking down, trying to navigate the unfamiliar waters of the Bitcoin economy can slow down payment and potentially lead to data loss, Shpantzer said.

Q: Using grep and * to get the exact file name I have following heapdump files
AppSrv01]# ls -ltr *heapdump*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3436
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3435
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3434
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3433
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3432
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3431
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 17:03 heapdump.dfsdf

now if I use
ls -ltr| grep heapdump*

I get following output
AppSrv01]# ls -ltr |grep heapdump*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root     root     0 Sep 13 17:03 heapdump.dfsdf

But I use
ls -ltr |grep *heapdump*

I get no output. Could anybody help where is my mistake and how to search the heapdump files.
My expected output is
ls -ltr | grep *heapdump*

should give me
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3436
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3435
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3434
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3433
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3432
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 16:44 hbsbdheapdump.3431
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 13 17:03 heapdump.dfsdf

due to some reason I could not use
ls -ltr *heapdump*

A: It looks like you're confusing glob patterns with regular expressions, which is what grep uses.
The correct way to print a list of files containing the word heapdump is like this:
printf '%s\n' *heapdump*

Here, *heapdump* is glob-expanded by the shell to match anything followed by "heapdump" followed by anything else. All the files that match the pattern are passed to printf, which prints each one followed by a newline.
If you want to filter the output of ls -ltr, then you can use:
ls -ltr *heapdump*

The same list of files will be passed to ls, which will print information about them.
Bear in mind that it is not recommended to attempt to parse the output of ls.

Q: android opengl depth test fails I have a problem in the Android Emulator, I render a texture cube with gles 1 and in the borders show the back faces:

My depth test setup is :
public void onSurfaceCreated(GL10 gl, EGLConfig config) {
    gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);  // Set color's clear-value to black
    gl.glClearDepthf(1.0f);            // Set depth's clear-value to farthest
    gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_DEPTH_TEST);   // Enables depth-buffer for hidden surface removal
    gl.glDepthFunc(GL10.GL_LEQUAL);    // The type of depth testing to do
    gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_NICEST);  // nice perspective view
    gl.glShadeModel(GL10.GL_SMOOTH);   // Enable smooth shading of color
    gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_DITHER);      // Disable dithering for better performance

And my perspective:
public void onSurfaceChanged(GL10 gl, int width, int height) {
    if (height == 0) height = 1;   // To prevent divide by zero
    float aspect = (float)width / height;

    // Set the viewport (display area) to cover the entire window
    gl.glViewport(0, 0, width, height);

    // Setup perspective projection, with aspect ratio matches viewport
    gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_PROJECTION); // Select projection matrix
    gl.glLoadIdentity();                 // Reset projection matrix
    // Use perspective projection
    GLU.gluPerspective(gl, 45, aspect, 0.1f, 1000.f);

    gl.glMatrixMode(GL10.GL_MODELVIEW);  // Select model-view matrix
    gl.glLoadIdentity();                 // Reset

    // You OpenGL|ES display re-sizing code here
    // ......
}

A: It looks like you may not have enough precision in your depth buffer, so the faces are somewhat overlapping.
I would recommend to reduce your depth range if possible, either increase the near plane (say to 1), reduce the far plane. The farther apart the planes are the less precision you get for the existing range.

1. Causes of death in 2018
In 2018, altogether 54,523 persons died, which is over 800 more than the year before. The shares of men and women were almost equal.
Age-standardised mortality decreased in 2018 by 0.4 per cent from the previous year. Men's age-standardised mortality decreased more than that of women. Men's and women's age-standardised mortality has decreased relatively evenly since the 1970s and the favourable development continued also in 2018 (Figure 1). In addition to the population, the age-standardised mortality rate takes into account the changes in the population's age structure. The standardisation is necessary so that changes in mortality not due to the ageing of the population structure can be highlighted.
Figure 1. Age-standardised mortality in 1971 to 2018
In 2018, two out of three dead persons had turned 75 and more than one third had turned 85. More than 450 of the deceased had turned 100. The average age at death (median) was 85 years for women and 77 years for men, while ten years ago the average ages were 83 for women and 74 for men. The median describes the middle value, that is, one-half of all persons that died, died at a younger or older age than the median age at death.
Diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms caused most deaths
Due to the age structure of persons who died, the typical causes of death of older age groups dominate the causes of death distribution of the entire population (Table 1). In 2018, thirty-five per cent of deaths of Finns were caused by diseases of the circulatory system and 24 per cent by neoplasms. The commonest disease of the circulatory system was ischaemic heart disease, which caused nearly one-fifth of all deaths. The commonest cancers causing death were lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. The commonest types of cancer resulting in death were still lung cancer and prostate cancer for men and breast cancer and lung cancer for women.
Over 10,000 persons died from dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, which represented 19 per cent of all deaths. The number of deaths caused by dementia has grown rapidly in the past decade partly due to the ageing of the population. One in four deaths among women and one in ten deaths among men were caused by dementia. More than double the number of women die from dementia than the number of men, which is mainly because women live longer than men. There are no clear differences in age-standardised dementia mortality among sexes (Figure 6).
More deaths of alcohol-related causes than in the year before
Nearly 1,700 persons died of alcohol-related diseases and alcohol poisonings in 2018, which was good 100 more than in the previous year. The share of alcohol-related causes in all causes of death was three per cent. In the past five years, age-standardised mortality from alcohol-related causes has decreased by over 10 per cent. At the same time, mortality from alcohol among both women aged 65 or over and men aged 75 or over has grown while, correspondingly in younger age groups mortality from alcohol has decreased.
In 2018, suicides were committed by 810 persons, which is 14 fewer than in the year before. The number of suicides was at its highest in 1990, when there were over 1,500 suicides in Finland. Since then, suicide mortality has decreased clearly (Figure 12). Over the past five years, suicide mortality has decreased by around 10 per cent, slightly more among women than men. Three out of four of the persons who committed suicide were men, and their average age was 48 years. The average age of women when committing suicide was 50 years.
In 2018, close on 2,400 persons died in accidents, being four per cent of all deaths, when alcohol poisonings are included in alcohol-related deaths in the time series classification. The number of fatalities from accidents has grown three years in a row. The number of fatalities from accidents was over 200 higher in 2018 than in 2015. Accident mortality in 2018 was clearly lower than ten years ago but nearly at the same level as five years earlier.

Over 1,000 working-age persons died from alcohol-related causes
Of all persons that died during 2018, close on 8,000 were of working-age (aged 15 to 64), which was 14 per cent of all deaths. Two-thirds of them were men. The number of deaths among people of working-age had decreased clearly. Ten years ago, 3,000 more persons of working-age died annually.
The age-standardised mortality of working-age people in all causes of death has diminished in ten years by over one-quarter. The mortality of working-age men is still more than double compared to women, even though the mortality of men has diminished faster than that of women, which has decreased the difference in mortality between sexes.
Working-age people died most from neoplasms and from diseases of the circulatory system (Table 2). More than one-half of deceased working-age people died of these two causes. Forty-four per cent of women who died in working-age died from neoplasms. The share of diseases of the circulatory system of deaths was 14 per cent for women in 2018, while twenty years ago the share was still one-fifth. By contrast, diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms caused nearly as large a share of deaths among working-age men.
The most common cancer resulting in death for working-age women was breast cancer, which caused the death of nearly 300 women in 2018 (Appendix table 1c). Correspondingly, for working-age men, the most common cancer resulting in death was lung cancer (Appendix table 1b).
In 2018, over 1,000 working-age persons died from alcohol-related causes. This was 44 persons more than in the year before. The mortality from alcohol for working-age men and women has declined clearly from the record level of 2007, when there were 1,800 deaths. Three times more working-age men died from alcohol-related causes than women of the same age.

More than every fifth person aged over 65 died from dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Ninety per cent of women that died in 2018 were aged 65 or over and 80 per cent of men. The causes of death structure for older age groups differs from that of the working-age population, for example, the relative share of suicides, accidents and alcohol-related causes of death is smaller than among working-age people.
Figure 2. Proportions of causes of death by age groups in 2018
Persons aged over 65 died most from diseases of the circulatory system that caused 37 per cent of deaths. The share of diseases of the circulatory system in causes of death grows with age: One-quarter of those aged 60 to 64 died from diseases of the circulatory system and nearly one-half of those aged over 95 (Figure 2). Correspondingly, the share of neoplasms in causes of death diminishes after the age of 70. The share of neoplasms for persons aged 65 to 69 was 40 per cent and for those aged over 95 it was only six per cent.
The importance of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, as a cause of death has grown considerably in recent years. In 2018, dementia (incl. Alzheimer's disease) was almost as common a cause of death for elderly people as neoplasms. During 2018, more than one in five deceased persons aged 65 or over died from dementia and more than one-third of those aged 95 or over.
In 2018, one in four of the persons who committed a suicide were aged 65 or over. The share of suicides in causes of death for elderly people was, however, very low, under one per cent. In an international comparison, the suicide mortality of Finns aged over 65 did not differ from the average for EU countries in 2016.
Additional information on the causes of death of persons of different ages can be found in Appendix tables 1a to 1c and database tables.

The Healthy Aging Initiative (HAI), a campus-wide effort to investigate and address the diverse challenges and needs of the nation's aging population, has announced its inaugural research and education seed grants to seven University of California, San Diego faculty members.
The grants, totaling $160,000, will provide pilot funding for interdisciplinary projects that enhance understanding of and improve the aging process. Recipients represent various schools, divisions, and departments across UC San Diego. Funds for the projects were contributed by the School of Medicine, the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, Qualcomm Institute, Stein Institute for Research on Aging, the Institute of Engineering in Medicine (IEM), and the divisions of Biological Sciences and Social Sciences.
"The scope of these pilot projects reflects the broad-based and diverse needs and issues related to aging and aging well," said Dilip Jeste, MD, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Neurosciences and director of the Center for Healthy Aging, which is organizing this Initiative.
Jeste said the seed grants, with funding up to $25,000, will stimulate innovative aging-related research that is not currently supported by standard funding streams. It's hoped the preliminary data generated will spark additional funding and support from other sources. Recipients will present their HAI research at a symposium on healthy aging, slated for May 26, 2016.


This could be the initial, and it is the main weight loss hints I will offer you. The cause of this is easy: without even knowing where you're going you are going to have challenge getting there. Thus, in the start of your weight loss journey decided regarding precisely what you wish to complete if your reach at the conclusion of one's weight reduction program.
The result I wanted to create at the brat diet ending of my weightloss routine was that: A slender, healthful human body using 10 percent excess fat and observable sixpack stomach.
Taking in to consideration that at 1994 my complete weight was 285 lbs and my bodyfat was 44%, to tell the truth, I didn't think I'd reach this significant health goal I set for myself.
However this really is precisely what I really wanted, therefore that I composed that this particular goal in my laptop, also required my next measure.
Once you've picked your final result, the following step in creating permanent weight loss is always to check at which you're in today's moment concerning your principal aim. By the 5 fat loss hints, this can be vital since it can allow one to comprehend your starting place on your own program.
In my circumstance I believed myselfand had a seasoned aide step my bodyfat percent. My own body fat percent once I started was 44 percent. Which usually means I had 125 lbs of excess fat. Clearly that is very shocking for me personally, along with my confidence went down way after hearing such a number.
However, my urge to generate my key wellness goal was quite strong, therefore that I wrote just how much I believed, my complete excess weight , along with my slender body mass weight at the base of my laptop.
Additionally, I composed the very crucial lessons I learned from eight decades of using low calorie diet plans, fad diets, and lots of other weight reduction approaches which might help me personally to create permanent weight loss.
Once you've decided where you're going and also have noticed at which you're in the present moment, the following action should be to produce a set of these steps you may have to choose where you are now to where you wish to stay the close future whenever you produce your ultimate outcome.
By the 5 fat loss recommendations, this next one is going to allow one stay focused around the future phase you have to simply take at direction of one's key wellness objective. Mine was permanent weight loss. It was the key purpose that allowed me motivated the whole body weight loss period of my own program.
Taking under consideration which I weighed 285 pounds and that I required to reach 10 percent excess fat, so I realised I would need to get rid of 110 pounds of undesirable bodyfat whilst maintaining my lean body mass.
My initial step was to eat up my everyday care caloric ingestion. Which usually means the calories which originated out of my beverages and food would equal the sum which my body can realistically burn up throughout daily.
My next measure comprised using cardio-training 4 days each week. This was essential because I knew this to reduce 110 pounds of undesirable excess fat I'll need to burn off this fat away. Dieting without exercise failed to produce results previously, therefore that I opted to take the following path toward creating permanent weight loss.
My next step was to make use of weight training exercise to keep up my muscle mass throughout the weight loss period of my schedule. Since muscle is a more active tissue, so our own bodies must enlarge energy (calories) to keep it, meaning during the weight loss period of the schedule, weighttraining will enable me to keep my metabolic rate raised, plus it could really be easier for me to drop the undesired excess fat.
This is really a secret which I heard from my friends from the fitness center, which used weight-training to generate their muscle physiques. They explained while I'm slimming down the ideal approach is always to concentrate on maintaining my present muscle, also once I reach my ideal weight that I will correct my calorie consumption and begin building muscle.
By the 5 fat loss hints, that you will be able to enable one to create the most essential calorie shortage without you being forced to utilize low diet or fad diet plans. That is essential because those unsuccessful nutrition strategies cause a rise of one's desire and food cravings that are enormous.
As I knew a very low calorie approach won't operate at the very long run and won't allow me to generate permanent weight loss, I opted to eat up four ordinary sized meals daily.
How big each and every meal has been calculated by simply taking my everyday care calorie consumption, and dividing this number . Afterward employing the 50-30-20 nutrient ratio I have calculated the number of calories that I shall eat up in carbs, protein, and fat.
My meals were made out of just natural food origins, and also the only real processed food which I allowed myself to eat during the 3 per week snack meals.
All these cheat meals had been consistently eaten at the early morning, which helped me in order to prevent cravings for my favourite foods.
One other crucial section of an efficient nutrition plan will be to drink loads of water through daily. I calculated that the quantity of water to drink utilizing a formula based mostly in my everyday caloric intake.
Once I began to absorb the best number of daily calories and started to present my own body with all the current macro nutrients and micronutrients it had to operate precisely, the degree of energy which has been produced is some thing which has been simply remarkable.
Doing cardio-training 4 days a week has been always a cinch, also that I used walking and also a rowing machine to generate the essential calorie shortage to burn up the maximum total calories within my workout.
Weight-training was easy, and mostly because I used an extremely straightforward strategy. I raised heavier weights with fewer reps. My work outs were consistently 2025 minutes, and I felt very energized.
The combo of both cardio-training and weight training exercise produced magical. In a dozen weeks I realized that my great weight of 175 lbs and had 10 percent excess fat.
And, for the past 15 years I've promised this perfect bodyweight using these exact same 5 Ultimate Weight Loss guidelines I have written around!
For those who get an actual desire to generate permanent weight loss, then you can accomplish that overall health goal by choosing the exact steps I required, and certainly will create a similar effect.
However, I must warn you, in case you would like to retain your best weight forever, you might need to stay making use of these fat loss strategies for the remainder of one's lifetime. If you discontinue, almost certainly the weight is going to creep back on.

In upstate NY around Schroon Lake a former chief o the St. Regis Mohawk tribe has been indicted on federal drug charges of marijuana. This came right after Border Patrol agents say he was caught transporting nearly 100 pounds of marijuana.
Philip Tarbell of Hogansburg was in a minivan when he was stopped by Border Patrol agents at a checkpoint near Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks. Federal officials say they found about 95 pounds of marijuana in two hockey bags. Tarbell, 68, was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana. He was released after posting $10,000 bail.
At St. Regis Mohawk Reservation Tarbell was a former tribal government leader on the Canadian border. The real issue is that he was arrested for a non-violent crime and Border Patrol wasted their time in arresting this man. While they were wasting their time with this, people crossing the border illegal probably was going on.

North Korea Races to Finish New International Airport in Capital
Eric Talmadge, Associated Press
- Oct 23, 2014 1:00 am
Although solid infrastructure is a start, North Korea will need to show the world that its country is a safe place for tourists to visit before it sees an impactful nflux of tourism dollars.
Pyongyang isn't exactly an international travel hub. But attracting more tourists is one of North Korea's top agenda items, so thousands of soldier-builders are working feverishly these days to give the capital a fancy new airport.
The new airport, which is now in its final stages, is the latest of North Korea's "speed campaigns," mass mobilizations of labor shock brigades aimed at finishing top-priority projects in record time. Dressed in hard hats and brown or olive green uniforms, impressive swarms of workers toil under huge signs calling on them to carry out their tasks with "Korea Speed." From some corners of the site, patriotic music blares from loudspeakers to provide further motivation.
With most of the construction finished, their work is now focused on flattening out a new tarmac area, digging tunnels for drainage and putting the finishing touches on the main terminal building. Most of the work appears to be done the old way, by hand or with simple tools.
Though Pyongyang is the gateway to the reclusive country by air, it is currently served by an airport building that consists of a small, temporary terminal the size of a large warehouse, with only one baggage carousel, a tiny duty free shop and a makeshift book/souvenir store. The airport receives, at most, only a few international flights a day, almost all from China, with some from Russia.
But, in search of a badly needed source of foreign currency, North Korean officials have embarked on an ambitious campaign to significantly boost the country's appeal to international tourists in the years ahead, which has made building a more impressive airport facility a top item on the government's to-do list.
The date of the opening has not yet been officially announced.

Microsoft Teams end-to-end encryption has finally arrived — but there is a catch
By Darragh Murphy published 3 March 21
The feature is rolling out later this year
(Image credit: Microsoft Teams)
When it comes to data protection, the best apps, whether they be messaging apps or VPN services, will have end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to keep your conversations private — something that was sorely missing on Microsoft Teams until recently.
During the annual Microsoft Ignite conference, Microsoft announced it will finally be bringing E2EE to its popular business communication platform Microsoft Teams. The catch? It's only available for one-to-one calls, meaning bigger conference calls with more users and online meetings will have to wait for data protection.

Microsoft: 2020 Brand Report Card
Microsoft to add this time-saving feature to Word
"Today, we shared that an end-to-end encryption option for Teams 1:1 ad hoc VoIP calls will be available in preview to commercial customers planned for the first half of this year," Microsoft explained. "We will then work to bring E2EE capabilities to online meetings later."
The data encryption will only be available to paying customers, and can only be used if both the caller and receiver are enabled by their company's IT team and have both opted in. It will be a slow rollout but should be an enticing offer to more businesses, especially seeing how Zoom added E2EE last year (albeit over quite a bit of controversy).
Microsoft Teams: More security options
Full E2EE integration to Microsoft Teams is expected to start rolling out throughout 2021, along with a few other noteworthy security features including video conferencing controls that let hosts prevent other users from joining, along with the host being able to disable an attendee's video during meetings if needed.
Microsoft Teams will also now support "Multi-Geo capabilities," which is more for multi-national organizations. It will give companies more control over the location of specific data centers where their data is stored.
It will also be adding a safe link feature that many will be familiar with, as it brings URL scanning and "time-of-click verification" of URLs in links shared through email messages. Essentially, this means users will get a warning if a link is malicious.
While the always sought-after E2EE to protect company data hasn't been fully released to Microsoft Teams yet, it's good to know that Microsoft is finally catching up to its competition in terms of privacy.

Q: HTML Slider element? I'm coding an app (temporarily up here), and I want to make its parameters modifiable. I feel the best way to do this would be with your standard GUI slider elements (a la this, but not so ugly). I just noticed that the DOM doesn't provide these, however...
What's the best way to introduce sliders to a webpage? Is there a standard library that everybody uses? Should I just roll my own? Or should is there a different element I can use? Should I embed them in the canvas element somehow?

A: jQuery UI does support this.
If you're already using jQuery, it would be easy to learn.

A: There is a slider control in HTML5, it's done with <input type="range" … />.
Check browser support here: http://caniuse.com/input-range

A: I'm sure there is probably a jQuery library for this as well, but this MooTools library is one that I have used before and had no complaints:
MooTools Slider

A: I have used the one in YUI3. It is still in beta but it provides a lot of great features and skins. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/3/slider/

A fundamental tenet of life-history theory is that reproduction and longevity trade off against one another. Experiments on invertebrates show that, rather than competing for limiting resources, reproduction and lifespan are optimized on different dietary macronutrient compositions. In mice, studies have yet to establish the relationship between macronutrient balance, reproduction, and lifespan. We evaluated the effects of macronutrients and energy on lifespan and reproductive function. Indicators of reproductive function (uterine mass, ovarian follicle number, testes mass, epididymal sperm counts) were optimized by high protein (P), low carbohydrate (C) diets whereas lifespan was greatest on low P:C diets. Corpora lutea and estrous cycling were higher in females on lower P:C diets. Macronutrient balance has profound and opposing effects on reproduction and longevity.
In invertebrates, reproductive output and lifespan are profoundly impacted by dietary macronutrient balance, with these traits achieving their maxima on different diet compositions, giving the appearance of a resource-based tradeoff between reproduction and longevity. For the first time in a mammal, to our knowledge, we evaluate the effects of dietary protein (P), carbohydrate (C), fat (F), and energy (E) on lifespan and reproductive function in aging male and female mice. We show that, as in invertebrates, the balance of macronutrients has marked and largely opposing effects on reproductive and longevity outcomes. Mice were provided ad libitum access to one of 25 diets differing in P, C, F, and E content, with reproductive outcomes assessed at 15 months. An optimal balance of macronutrients exists for reproductive function, which, for most measures, differs from the diets that optimize lifespan, and this response differs with sex. Maximal longevity was achieved on diets containing a P:C ratio of 1:13 in males and 1:11 for females. Diets that optimized testes mass and epididymal sperm counts (indicators of gamete production) contained a higher P:C ratio (1:1) than those that maximized lifespan. In females, uterine mass (an indicator of estrogenic activity) was also greatest on high P:C diets (1:1) whereas ovarian follicle number was greatest on P:C 3:1 associated with high-F intakes. By contrast, estrous cycling was more likely in mice on lower P:C (1:8), and the number of corpora lutea, indicative of recent ovulations, was greatest on P:C similar to those supporting greatest longevity (1:11).

Baojun Yep – elektryczny crossover klasy miejskiej produkowany pod chińską marką Baojun od 2023 roku.

Historia i opis modelu

W lutym 2023 chińska filia joint-venture SAIC-GM-Wuling, marka Baojun, przedstawiła nowy niewielki miejski samochód w postaci połączenia 3-drzwiowego hatchbacka z cechami nawiązującymi do dużych samochodów terenowych. W rezultacie powstał crossover Baojun Yep.

Samochód wyróżnił się kanciastą sylwetką z wyraźnie zarysowanymi nadkolami, czarnymi zderzakami i nakładkami na progi, a także imitacją koła zapasowego na klapie bagażnika. Producent zastosował pełne oświetlenie LED, z charakterystycznym układem pasów w przednich kloszach. Ponadto, pomimo niewielkich wymiarów zewnętrznych Baojun Yep jest samochodem 4-osobowym mogącym pomieścić po 2 pasażerów w każdym rędzie siedzeń, co osiągnięto przy niespełna 3,4 metra długości.

Sprzedaż
Baojun Yep powstał z myślą o dynamicznie rozwijającym się rynku samochodów elektrycznych w rodzimych Chimach, z początkiem sprzedaży wyznaczonym na maj 2023 roku, tuż po oficjalnej prezentacji przed publicznością podczas międzynarodowych targów samochodowych 2023 Shanghai Auto Show.

Dane techniczne
Yep jest samochodem elektrycznym, do którego napędu w podstawowym wariancie przewidziano silnik elektryczny umieszczony przy tylnej osi, który rozwija moc 67 KM i 140 Nm maksymalnego momentu obrotowego. Pozwala on rozpędzić się maksymalnie do 100 km/h. Bateria żelazowo-fosforanowa pozwala na przejechanie na jednym ładowaniu w warunkach miejskich ok. 303 kilometrów według cyklu pomiarowego CLTC.

We want to be more than your commodity; we want to be your partner in success.
We are your one-stop commercial and multi-family development partner.
Our team is experienced in numerous market sectors and can provide unmatched value in each of them. We focus on helping you create the right project by optimizing all aspects of your pro-forma.
We specialize in pre-construction, design-build, design-assist, cost-plus (gmp) and design-bid-build (hard bid) projects in the commercial sector.
We understand that every project is unique and the project goals often dictate how the team effectively delivers the end product. We are capable of managing complex pre-construction phases, multi-faceted design-build projects, complete design-assist projects as well as traditional plan-bid-build projects.
