FEATURES Abjects: Global Garage Punk Trio Play Optimistic Anthems For Uncertain Times By Mo Wilson · February 22, 2019
The upstart garage punk trio Abjects—with members who are known solely by their first names—have a global outlook that's as sunny as it is realistic: Yuki (bass/vocals) comes from Japan, Noemi (guitar/vocals) from Spain, and Alice (drums/vocals) from Italy. They make anthemic music in English and Spanish, with broad lyrics that stress keeping your chin up and having fun. The music video for their recent single "Never Give Up" features the band members ditching their day jobs and chores to play music with each other. Together, with instruments in hand, they triumphantly sing, "We're gonna fool around and take another chance / We're gonna share a bit and have some fun!"
Accordingly, their debut album of the same name, Never Give Up, is filled with songs that give a much-needed shot of endorphins while still acknowledging the harsh realities of the world. The band's blissful take on garage rock pairs three-part harmonies (that bring to mind Vivian Girls) with chugging, no-nonsense chords reminiscent of The Sonics. The lyrics, in classic twee-pop style, tackle sobering topics ranging from Brexit ("Fuck Brexit") to emotional intimacy ("The Secret").
For Abjects, the appeal of this tried-and-true style of music is partially owed to its accessibility; after all, one needn't be a prodigy to play in a punk band. "We didn't know how to play our instruments very well," admits Noemi, "so we went for [influence in] bands that didn't know, either. And they just made whatever they could with their abilities, the skills they had." As an all-female, multilingual band, they recognize—and actively challenge—the subgenre's long-standing associations with white, male gatekeeping: "We tried to give [punk] our own personal style, 'cause obviously, most of [the punk canon] are male bands, and they talk about things from a male perspective," she continues. "We try to translate—get about their point of view and make it our own." (Noemi doesn't use the term "translate" for nothing: she sings two the album's highlights, "Mañana" and "Aburrido," entirely in Spanish.)
Abjects
Never Give up Abjects .
Whereas Noemi's mission statement scans as the spoken equivalent of reaching across the aisle, Never Give Up is more of a well-deserved slap to the face. Take "Fuck Brexit," a scorched-earth shredder that, with its jittery riffs and disembodied harmonies, mirrors the existential uncertainty gripping many in the U.K., including Abjects' members, who make frequent trips back home to their respective homelands.
"It's gonna become more difficult for us to be here [in London] to meet. It's getting more intense with the visa situations, bureaucracy all around, so it was important to talk about it because it's something that is affecting us," Noemi says. A similarly-forlorn mindset guides the spacey "A Long Way To Go," which has the whole band issuing a sober proclamation over a surfy instrumental: "We can only try to make it through this very long road."
Still, the band doesn't dwell on being downtrodden; on "The Secret" the band pleads, "What's making you sad? Why can't we talk about the things that are going right?" In a world where bigotry is rampant, sometimes lightheartedness can be a lifesaver—and Abjects have plenty to spare. "We want to keep a positive attitude, and feel that we are going to be able to get through it anyway," Noemi says.

Q: How to take a remote SQL server database backup to local machine? I've to take a SQL database backup from remote machine to local Linux machine and through command line. Hence executed following command -
sqlcmd -S xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U <username> -P <password> -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [TestUser] TO DISK='TestUser.bak';"

But this takes backup on machine where database server is installed. Is there any way I can get backup on machine where it is executed?
**NOTE: ** I can see many questions which asks same but are old ones and answer - either this is not supported or use of third party tools. Hence asking question again, in case has solution with latest stuff.

A: try to use an unc path in this way:
sqlcmd -S xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U <username> -P <password> -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [TestUser] TO DISK='\\server\shared_folder\TestUser.bak';"

You have to give SQL Server Service User the right to write to the remote path
\\server\shared_folder\
To do this you have to configure a local samba share connected to the source domain (as a domain member)

A: If you prefer to save the classic SQL Server database backup (.bak) to another machine, then the only option is to use a BACKUP DATABASE with a shared folder.
If, in general, the backup format is not so important to you, then you can perform Export Data-Tier Application using the sqlpackage utility.
SqlPackage is not a third-party tool, but a Microsoft database migration utility.
sqlpackage.exe /action:Export /SourceServerName:<Server name> /SourceDatabaseName:<db name> /SourceUser:admin /SourcePassword:<password> /TargetFile:<patch to target .bacpac>

Export Data-Tier Application has two drawbacks:

*

*Works slower, and loads a database server, because of this, it is poorly applicable for large databases.

*Does not provide transactional data consistency. To get around this, it is recommended to create a snapshot of the database, and export the snapshot.

CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks_Snapshot ON
    ( NAME = AdventureWorks, FILENAME = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_data_1800.ss' )
    AS SNAPSHOT OF AdventureWorks;
Once the export is completed, the snapshot can be removed.
DROP DATABASE [AdventureWorks_Snapshot]

Q: Getting user view information Is it somehow possible to get information about the view of the user on my bokeh plot?
One can adjust the initial view on the plot, but when the user zooms in or out the dimensions change. Let's say I want to plot the function y=x^2, in the default view plotting it for x from -5 to 5 with 100 samples is sufficient. But if the user zooms in the line gets very coarse and inaccurate. Now it would be better to resample the function and get 100 samples from -1 to 1. The same goes vice versa for zooming out:
This is nice:

This is not nice (having samples going from something like -30 to 30 would be better):

A: You can get user view information by accessing
plot = Figure(title="some Figure",x_range=[-1,1],y_range=[-1,1])
plot.x_range.__getattribute__('start')
plot.y_range.__getattribute__('start')
plot.x_range.__getattribute__('end')
plot.y_range.__getattribute__('end')

Now you can either explicitly update your plot using a refresh button. Or add a periodic callback
curdoc().add_periodic_callback(refresh, 100)

,which calls the function
refresh()

all 100 milliseconds. See http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/bokeh/bokeh-notebooks/blob/master/tutorial/08%20-%20server.ipynb for an example on periodic callback.

"The poignant account of a translator struggling to translate herself into a multitude of uncomfortable roles in a language and culture not her own. Where I Am serves up heaping portions of yearning, passion, alienation, and regret, and establishes Dana Shem-Ur as one of the rising stars of the new Israeli literature."
Joshua Cohen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Netanyahus
A piercing novel about life abroad in a cultural setting not one's own: Reut is an Israeli translator living in Paris with a French husband and their child. She's made sacrifices for her family but now feels a simmering discontent and estrangement that explodes at a festive dinner party with affluent, intellectual friends. During the sumptuous meal, she navigates a tangle of cultural codes with which she's never been fully at ease. This is a novel about big life choices that examines a woman's attitudes about belonging to a man, to a culture, to a language. Where I Am is an intimate, witty book portraying a profoundly human yearning to stop everything, to lay down one's head, and to feel—if only for a moment—at home.
Excerpt from Where I Am
When Reut lay down on the bed, she knew there was no chance of getting real rest. Onlookers might speculate about a range of scenarios: a casual observer would see a woman on the cusp of middle age, well groomed, home after a dull day of work, physically and mentally exhausted. Her unusual posture—lying there obliquely on top of the blankets, shoes still on, light still on—was the obvious outcome of fatigue.
Another observer might analyze the scene more closely: rather than seeing merely a drained woman, they could intuit that Reut—now in her early forties—had carefully arranged herself in this position. The astute observer would have noted that this was someone who'd returned home two hours earlier, and had had more than enough time to undress, wash her face, put on soothing music and loose pajamas. But Reut had not done any of these things, the thought hadn't even crossed her mind. She had too much to do before her guests arrived.
It was Friday, a day Reut felt ambivalent about ever since she was a child: just as she'd yearned for the Sabbath (and its promise of rest), she dreaded its arrival (and its unfulfilled promise). At the end of each week, she was confronted by everything she hadn't accomplished, as if a testament to her personal inadequacy. Even matters as trivial as an out-of-place pillow would be enough to provoke a bout of self-flagellation as soon as she walked through the door.
That Friday, Reut came home in a particularly agitated state. Like a battery-powered toy, she began to frantically pace the apartment, performing a series of tasks that didn't necessarily contribute to the preparation of dinner. In the living room, she watered the plants and refolded the blanket draped over the armchair. In the kitchen, she reorganized the contents of the fridge. As she was peeing, she noticed that just one roll of toilet paper remained on hand. This observation sent her rushing to the bathroom cabinet to restock. Reut spent thirty-eight minutes in such activity before Jean-Claude's text message made her stop in her tracks:
"Got held up at work. I'll be right there, chérie!"
A mere hour and twenty-two minutes separated Reut from the moment the guests would arrive. In this short time span, she had to set the aperitif table, shower, put on a dress, and reapply her makeup. But her eyes were bothering her. They felt dry. And a pressure in her lower back joined a sudden trembling in her right eye. Slowly, her feet led her into the bathroom without any idea of what she planned to do there. Frozen in front of the mirror, she looked at her face. After close inspection, she turned off the light and dragged herself into the bedroom, as if that battery-powered toy were now on its last legs.
When she reached her bed, Reut had an hour and sixteen minutes until the evening got fully under way, enough time for a quick nap before attending to her hostess duties. That calculation might have been accurate if she'd napped only ten minutes, as she'd planned—not over an hour! How did this happen?! The alarm clock, the shoes, the light—they were all meant to ensure that she'd slip out of bed after a brief respite with renewed vitality for such a special evening. In addition to their usual friends, another couple had been invited that night—one that Jean-Claude referred to as "important."
"In unfailingly elegant prose, Where I Am makes us peek at the consciousness of a foreigner who is herself trying to peek at the consciousnesses of French natives she treats with derision and anguish. It's a funny and poignant novel, strikingly resonant with the condition of foreignness plaguing so many around the world."
Eva Illouz, author of Why Love Hurts and The End of Love
"A formidable, stirring, and beautifully written novel, spectacular in its ability to penetrate the souls of its characters, juggling love, power dynamics, and staggeringly human ambitions while offering an ironic examination of the social and cultural codes of our time."
Nir Baram, author of World Shadow and Good People
"An impressive and mature debut about a woman's search for identity and for her place in life. Or rather, her places in life: in society, in her career, in her relationship, her motherhood, her body and her sexuality, as well as her actual geographical location. A pleasurable read."
Assaf Gavron, author of The Hilltop
"A beautiful debut novel, sensitive and fragile … with naughty touches and satirical stings."

Q: Oracle 10g install on Windows 7 where to go the 10.2.0.5 Patch? Hi i'm trying to get a couple of clients up and running, these are Windows 7 based machines 1 is 32bit the other 64. I have the install files for 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4 for these environments but they require a patch file to update them to 10.2.0.5. This patch is only available to Support level Oracle logins, which I dont have, does anyone know where else I can get these patch files from?
files I curently have are
10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client.zip
10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_client.zip
p8202632_10205_MSWIN-x86-64.zip
The last one is the Patch but only for 64 bit windows 7, I now require the 32bit version...

A: If you don't have a login to metalink, this suggests to me that perhaps you don't have an Oracle licence?
In which case wouldn't be entitled to software patches/updates.


The Firehole River doesn't let me pass. Its churning water, at least ten feet deep here, is pounding me as I cling to a slick rock wall. I'm trying to go upstream through Firehole Canyon, in Yellowstone National Park, behind my sons, Gus, 16, and Jeb, 14. One is a competitive swimmer, the other on a rock-climbing team. They're cutting easily through the rapid toward a ledge from which we'll launch ourselves for a float back downriver.
I watch other people wash past, hooting and laughing. They all look younger than I am—like people who bungee jump and believe in their invincibility. As I struggle through the powerful water, I realize I no longer believe in my invincibility. Maybe I'm too old to be doing this. But I yearn to keep up with my sons.
Over the years I've done most everything with them—jumped in puddles, ridden roller coasters, skied black-diamond slopes. I've always thought of myself as a "fun" mom. However, they're becoming young men, and it's harder for me to do what they do. This family vacation, a road trip, reminds me that my husband, Robb, and I don't have much time left to travel with our boys before they head out into the world.
We're journeying in a rental RV, a 26-foot-long Coachmen Freelander we've nicknamed the Little Beast. Our itinerary takes us through the best of the West, from Yellowstone, in Wyoming, north to Montana and Glacier National Park. Out here, empty spaces where clouds cast penumbras over valleys invigorate as much as the tsunami of peaks on the horizon.
We don't have a firm plan; with plenty of campgrounds to choose from, we're following our whims. Robb and I know this proximity to our teenagers presents the risk of meltdowns—which explains the case of wine I've packed—but my hope is that distance from the Internet will draw us together again. That once more I'll be a mom fully plugged into her kids' lives.
"Where you from?" the man at the next campsite calls out, a standard greeting in the RV world. We're in Grant Village campground, on the shore of Yellowstone Lake. The man, who introduces himself as "Wayne from Wisconsin," sits in a camp chair under an awning extending from his motor home. He's traveling with his wife and three sons, who right now are riding bikes by the lake. Next to him sit a full-size grill and a table covered with a floral tablecloth.
"You're traveling in style," I say.
The conversation follows what I'll learn are standard RVing contours: where we've been, where we're going. When he hears we're hiking the next day, Wayne insists we buy bear repellent. I'd seen signs recommending the spray, so after our dinner of hamburgers and s'mores cooked over our fire pit (Wayne and family grill salmon), we walk to the campground's shop to pick up a canister—and a tablecloth.
The next day we drive up Grand Loop Road for a two-mile hike to Cascade Lake, a pool in an alpine meadow in the center of Yellowstone. The boys stay close behind Robb, who has the bear repellent secured to his belt. We're taking turns carrying the backpack with our lunches because it may attract bears. "We're playing bear roulette," Jeb says as he slips on the pack.
In addition to the Old Faithful geyser, Yellowstone is known for its wildlife. Lamar Valley, which we'd visited earlier, is called North America's Serengeti for its gray wolves (reintroduced in 1995), moose, elk, bison, and bears, both the grizzly and black varieties. Up to 1,200 bears live in the park—one for every three square miles, I calculate.
As we walk by fir trees—some full and Christmas-like, some with bark stripped (bear scratchings?)—Robb's camera clunks against the bear repellent's spray button, and a mist of the stuff releases. Into Gus's face. He lets out an "Aaggh" and doubles over, coughing. Thankfully, his throat and eyes clear up within minutes, but we decide we can't trust the spray, so I suggest talking to ward off bears. Loudly.
The boys oblige, pretending we're in a horror movie in which a bear picks us off, which prompts Jeb to share that he plans to see scary movies only with dates, so the girls will snuggle with him. Horror leads to science fiction, which leads Gus to say he wants to become an aerospace engineer to design crafts that discover the intelligent life he's sure is out there.
I feel an unexpected gratitude for the bears; it's been a while since Robb and I've had a prolonged look into who our sons are becoming. They speak to us now more as equals, as young men with plans. Yet it's bittersweet; their dreams don't include us.
After days of swimming in rivers, biking, and hiking, hiking, hiking, we're visiting Bozeman, Montana. The boys seem antsy here. Which isn't the fault of this gritty town north of Yellowstone where gold miners would stop.
Rather, our close quarters may be catching up with us; the boys are fighting over who sleeps where. We have three beds in the RV—a queen in the back for Robb and me, another in the loft above the driver's seat, and a full made by pushing bench cushions together in the dining space. It's the least desirable because it involves assembling and dismantling. Jeb is tired of table-bed duty, but Gus contends he should have a couple more days in the loft since he's older.
The upside of RV life is that your living quarters go everywhere with you. That also is the downside. It begins to wear on us that we drive, sleep, cook, eat, shower, and play cards within a 200-square-foot rectangle. Cabin fever is bound to strike. Particularly if the cabin is home to teen siblings whose DNA programs them to twang each other's nerves.
We have parked our RV at a friend's home (we're the best houseguests; we bring our own house). Bozeman, population 38,000, is surrounded by mountain ranges and appears regularly on lists of best places to live in the U.S. It's home base for outdoors types; we watch people tackle the Bridger Ridge Run, a 20-mile route up a mountain, along a ridge, and down again.
Our Bozeman friends aren't hard-core, but they fly-fish, hike, and snowshoe, and as parents of teens themselves, have good ideas for getting our boys out of our tin box to use up adolescent energy—such as tubing down the Madison River.
So the next day we drive west from Bozeman, toting our friends' inner tubes, for a float. That is, Robb and the boys will float. Someone has to drive the RV to the pickup point four miles downriver. I'm uncomfortable being on the sidelines for the tubing. I'm from a line of energetic parenting; my mother, 84, rides bikes with us, and my father still bodysurfs. We're doers. Except I won't be today.
I watch Robb and the boys drift, spread like limp starfish over their inner tubes, until they disappear around a bend, then I hop in the eight-foot-wide Beast. Robb's done most of the driving because I find it nerve-racking; there's no room for error on the narrow roads. A cross breeze pushes me toward traffic; a truck speeding in the other direction shoves me to the shoulder.
I remind myself that people drive RVs all the time; more than nine million RVs are registered in the U.S. I see people in their 70s behind the wheel of rigs a lot bigger than ours—despite the fact that driving one feels like maneuvering a bull over a swinging footbridge.
I pull over gracelessly at the pickup point. It'll be a while before my boys appear, so I settle on our rear bed and open the blinds for a view of the ribbon of river. Funny, a minute ago I was cursing the RV's lumbering aerodynamics; now I'm grateful that my portable hotel room puts me so close to the water.
The first floater I spot is Jeb; Gus and Robb follow. I clamber out of the RV and trot toward them. In my hurry I forget the camera. But really, a photo can't capture what I see, the joy and playfulness lighting up my sons, just as pure as when they were little and fake-wrestled their way across our living room. I decide to snap a mental image. It's a sensory snapshot I know I'll return to when they're grown.
"It's a moose jam," the man in the khaki hat whispers as we approach a knot of hikers on the Iceberg Lake Trail, in Glacier National Park. We glimpse a gangly moose with sprouts for antlers. The sighting revs up Gus and Jeb, who'd complained about hiking ten miles so early in the morning. They dash ahead. We're in the heart of Glacier, in the northernmost part of Montana, on our way to Iceberg Lake. In the mid-1800s, 150 major glaciers glistened here; today, only 25 remain.
"An ice age glacier scraped out this valley," Robb tells our sons. It's awash in purple asters and orange Indian paintbrush. Peaks with the jagged notches of a house key loom above. A stream drops to one side like a silver plait.
Farther up the trail, we come to a bowl with striated stone walls. At its base sits a small lake of a blue usually seen only in ads for Caribbean vacations. Filling the lake, like fat clouds in a brilliant sky, are icebergs—icebergs in August—some flat, some peaked, many no bigger than a king-size bed.
The boys urgently want to stand on one. To my relief, a bed of ice floats near shore. After checking its stability with a stick, Gus and Jeb jump on, thrilled, and land solidly, raising their arms in triumphant bodybuilder poses. Emboldened, they leap onto a succession of nearby bergs—until they're almost in the middle of the lake.
I want to call them back. What if the icebergs crack? Would they get stuck under an ice shelf? I resist the urge to stop them, against all my instincts as a mother. My boys are big enough to look after themselves. Really they're big enough to look after me.
I think back to our swim in the Firehole River, when I was losing my strength fighting the robust current. I'd considered bailing at that point. Instead, I'd slipped my fingers into a crack in the rock and pulled with as much force as I could.
Just then, Jeb, the rock climber, had stretched one arm back and grabbed my hand, sweeping me past the problem part. In that instant I was both relieved and achingly nostalgic, remembering all the times I'd offered him my hand when he was struggling to climb a rock wall or get down from a tree. The turning of tables was dizzying—particularly in the fast-moving water.
The going easier, my sons and I had ended up on the ledge together. At our feet, the green water boiled and rushed in white curls. One by one we'd launched ourselves into the main push of the river. The current alternately spun and dunked me; I felt I was riding a slithery beast through the slot canyon. Up ahead, my boys' heads bobbed; then, suddenly, we hit a slower pool, and I crashed into them. Giddy, we gave each other high fives.
"You did it, Mom," Gus shouted, draping his arm around me.
Yes, I did. I came a long way on that ride.

On October 16, 2018, FERC proposed a new method to determine whether a utility's return on equity ("ROE") remains just and reasonable under section 206 of the Federal Power Act ("FPA"). Specifically, FERC discussed three additional methods, along with the well-known and traditionally used Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") analysis, and proposed to average the results to come to an equitable ROE. This new method will apply to successive complaints filed against the New England Transmission Owners ("NETOs"), regarding the justness and reasonableness of their existing ROE. Briefs related to this proposal are due on December 17, 2018.
In 2011, a group of transmission customers and state officials filed a complaint at FERC under FPA section 206 asserting that the NETOs' ROE of 11.14% was unjust and unreasonable. After an Administrative Law Judge issued an initial decision on this matter, FERC issued Opinion No. 531 in 2014. In Opinion No. 531, FERC first decided to replace its usual "one-step" DCF policy with a two-step DCF analysis to determine whether an ROE is unjust and unreasonable. Second, FERC also determined that if a complainant could show that an ROE was above the point estimate produced by the DCF analysis, then that ROE would be unjust and unreasonable. Third, FERC declined to set the new ROE at the midpoint of the zone of reasonableness produced by the DCF because of "anomalous financial market conditions," which made FERC "less confident[t] that the midpoint of reasonableness…accurately reflects set[ting] a return at a rate commensurate with other enterprises of comparable risk." Lastly, FERC concluded that total ROE, which is composed of a utility's base ROE plus any transmission incentive adders, should be limited to the top end of the zone of reasonableness. Therefore, using this approach, FERC set the base ROE for NETOs at 10.57%.
NETOs and some of their customers appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ("D.C. Circuit") and filed three other successive complaints at FERC. NETOs argued that (1) because its existing ROE of 11.14% fell between the zone of reasonableness envisioned by FERC (7.03%-11.74%), the existing ROE could not be unjust and unreasonable, and that (2) FERC did not adequately explain how an ROE of 11.14% was unjust and unreasonable. NETOs' transmission customers argued that FERC did not sufficiently support its assertion that anomalous capital markets and alternative benchmark methodologies justified a base ROE above the midpoint of reasonableness. The D.C. Circuit quickly dismissed NETOs' first argument because "the zone of reasonableness represents a broad range of potentially just and reasonable ROEs [and] not an exact dollar figure" and "as long as the rate selected by the Commission is within the zone of reasonableness, FERC is not required to adopt as just and reasonable any particular rate level." However, the D.C. Circuit agreed with NETOs and its customers that FERC did not sufficiently support its finding that an ROE of 10.57% was just and reasonable. The D.C. Circuit stated that "FERC's finding that 10.57% was a just and reasonable ROE, standing alone, did not amount to a finding that every other rate of return was not." The D.C. Circuit reasoned that "FERC must make an explicit finding that [an] existing rate [is] unjust and unreasonable before proceeding to set a new rate." Therefore, the D.C. Circuit vacated and remanded Opinion No. 531 and its progeny.
In the instant order, FERC (1) developed a new method to determine whether an existing ROE falls within an equitable zone of reasonableness and (2) established a framework for determining a new just and reasonable ROE if it does not fall within the zone of reasonableness. To satisfy the first category and because the D.C. Circuit stated FERC did not have to rely solely on the DCF methodology, FERC proposed to rely on three models that produce zones of reasonableness: the DCF, the capital-asset pricing model analysis ("CAPM"), and the expected earnings analysis ("Expected Earnings") models. In fulfilling the second category, FERC proposed to rely solely on the risk premium ("Risk Premium") analysis.
FERC directed NETOs, its transmission customers, state officials, and others who intervened in the proceeding to submit briefs to inform FERC of how to apply its four approaches to the successive complaints filed against NETOs at FERC. Briefs are due December 17, 2018.
A copy of FERC's October 16 order is available here.

Q: Undelete a deleted file Ubuntu

A Trojan Horse, or Trojan, is a type of malware that masquerades itself as a useful, routine or innocuous program and trick the victim to install it. Its name is derived from the well-known ancient Greek story, in which Greeks send a large wooden horse to Trojans as a symbol of peace. Yet this gift turns out to be a hiding place for Greek troops that soon attack Troy in the night.
Since Trojans must be invited to one's PC before being able to execute their payload, they are usually packaged as harmless or interesting programs like an e-mail attachment or a PC game. Also, attackers may insert a snippet of malicious code to a seeming legitimate program, which thus has some harmful functions hidden to the user. Hence, users tend to download and install Trojan programs unwittingly.
Once installed, Trojan creates a backdoor on victims' PC, thus allowing hackers to gain unauthorized access to their sensitive information. Other use with sinister purposes could include, but are not limited to turn on victim's microphone or webcam secretly, use their e-mail to send spams, or even take their PC for illegal files traffic and storage.
Despite Trojan computer programs are wrapped as unsuspicious ones and hard to be detected, there are still some indicators of their presence. Trojans may slow down victims' PC and even force software to quit unexpectedly due to heavy network usage.
How to keep myself safe?
1. A firewall helps detecting this issue. As a barrier set between outside Internet and your PC, a firewall monitors if there are unusual Internet activities and restricts unauthorized access from unknown users.
2. An up-to-date anti-virus software recognizes Trojans and alerts users. Internet users are suggested to deploy multi virus scanners(multi security engines), so as to detect a larger percentage of known Trojans.
In conclusion, Trojans enter victims' computer undetected and then spy or steal private information from them. Users usually download these wrapped programs via channels like websites or email attachments. Thereby, it is suggested for users not only be careful when downloading files but also employ a security software on their PC.

Diya is a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of John Ngai, where she studies regeneration in the olfactory epithelium, the tissue responsible for our sense of smell. She analyzes how olfactory stem cells contribute to both steady-state differentiation and injury-induced regeneration using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) and other genomics techniques. Her first co-authored paper, a collaboration between biologists, computer scientists, and statisticians, demonstrated the paths by which adult stem cells choose between neuronal and non-neuronal fates. Her second co-authored paper addressed how these stem cells mediate tissue regeneration after severe chemical injury. She's also contributed to methods papers for the analysis of scRNA-seq data (available here and here).
Diya also facilitates opportunities for fellow researchers to develop their data science skills. At BIDS, she coordinates Software/Data Carpentry workshops (she is a Software Carpentry instructor and lesson maintainer). Diya formerly organized The Hacker Within, a weekly meeting for demonstration of scientific computing tools hosted at BIDS, to which she still contributes.

Q: Regex match between two characters inclusively Python How can I create a regex to match between two characters inclusively?
From the string  "bar x12y bar x30y foo" , I want to get x12y and x30y. I tried following
re.findall( "x(.*?)y", "bar x12y bar x30y foo")

and I get 12 and 30, but I would like to include x and y too, how can I do that?

A: You can just include the x and y in the capture group. Since your pattern defines only a single group you can leave out the parentheses altogether:
re.findall("x.*?y", "bar x12y bar x30y foo")

A: you can use non capturing groups to achieve your purpose
re.findall(r'x(?:.*?)y', "bar x12y bar x30y foo")

a better regular expression would be
regex: \bx\d+y\b


I call it a raised garden bed with modified hugelkultur as a true hugelkultur garden is made up almost entirely out of logs and wood and just a little bit of dirt (2 inches).
Doing a bit of reverse, but hoping to still get the benefits we did a raised garden bed with a layer of logs, then 10 inches of dirt.
So… what is a hugelkultur (pronounced Hoo-gul-culture) you ask?
Basically is a pile of organic material that is built up to form a mound.
The bottom layer is made of up logs which can be laid out lengthwise or cut into blocks and put on end.
The logs and branches are like a sponge. They store water which can be used when it dry. Very useful in areas that don't get a lot of rain.
I'm thinking that hugelkultur is almost like a huge compost pile that you just add a little dirt to and plant on top.
The reason I got started on this was by looking for some information on gardening at some point and saw this method. It reminded me that we had a few logs laying around that were decomposing to the point that if you moved them too much they would break apart.
I thought… what a great idea and a way to recycle rather than burn them, but had no plans for another garden bed so they just sat in the yard.
Spring forward to last Sunday when Rob cleaned out an area beside our big greenhouse and decided I needed another raised garden bed. That make 15 to date.
And I thought what a perfectly good chance to use up the logs and also there was the benefit of needing less dirt.
To start the process, we cleaned up the surface and laid down landscape tarp over the whole area to stop any weeds from growing around the garden before we started building the bed.
We have the added benefit of having our own sawmill but the disadvantage of not always having the right size board for the job.
Note: I'm an inches and feet type of gal if you want metrics here is a converter.
Starting with one plank 15 inches high by 12 feet long and 2 inches wide it formed the basis for one side of the box.
For the other side we only had a plank that was 10 inches high by 12 feet long so without having to go and cut another plank here is where the MacGyvering came into play.
Using some additional wood we had on site, Rob ripped them on the table saw into 2.5 inch pieces. They weren't quite as wide as the 2-inch planks, but that didn't matter very much as we put them at the bottom.
The reason that we put two layers was so that the first layer could be screwed in the plank and then the next layer could be screwed into the first one. We didn't have screws long enough to go through 5 inches and still make a good solid wall.
Once the back wall was finished we did the same thing for the 2 ends to make them 15 inches high.
When all sides were nailed in place using 6 inch spiral spikes there was a little gap in the corners due to the extra 5 inches that were put on being a little shorter than the 2 inch width of the planks, so we just cut some little pieces of wood and tapped them into place with a hammer.
And that's how you MacGyver a raised garden bed when you don't have the exact supplies that you need.
So when the bed was completely finished it was 3 feet wide by 12 feet long.
The reason I went with 3 feet is that a lot of my beds are 5 feet wide and it's hard to dig a hole or reach the middle. What can I say… I have short arms.
Three feet is perfect for working all the way around the bed without having to strain your back.
The first layer that went into the raised bed was the punky logs that we had laying around. Rob cut them in half lengthwise and we put them into the bed as you can see below. They filled up the whole box except for one little spot in the top corner where we threw in some scraps of wood that were lying around.
This layer consisted of some sawdust that I have left over after doing my strawberry and herb gardens. I would have like to put more on or even some wood chips that we had laying around, but the wood chips were cedar and not good for a garden.
After that, we wet down the wood and sawdust really well and on Monday the dirt arrived.
This layer consisted of purchased garden soil. Not just any garden soil but deluxe garden soil and not a worm in sight.
Having experience with purchasing garden soil before (you can read about it here) I had kept a secret weapon especially for this purpose.
Over the years we had planted trees in pots of all different sizes and over the years, some didn't make it through the cold of the winter or dried out in the summer.
This year, I cleaned out all the dead ones gaining not only three wheelbarrows of soil but also got enough pots to plant my tomato seedlings into before they went into the garden.
The soil that came out of the pots was full of life and worms abounded and I was wondering what I was going to do with it.
It became the fourth layer on top of the purchased soil and although it doesn't look as nice or as rich as the deluxe garden soil, I know that it is a viable growing medium that will produce vegetables this year.
I didn't get a chance to plant yesterday but that was just as well. Today we had some lovely rain with the occasional heavy downpour that settled the earth in the bed and moistened the soil.
Tomorrow will be planting day and it will be a bit of a hodgepodge as it will get all the leftover transplants that I have in the greenhouse which will give me an idea of which vegetable will grow the best in the bed as it mainly gets the sun around noon until it goes down at night.
I will probably end up using it as a winter garden bed as it gets the sun first in the winter months. I think it's called… as the world turns.

Apple proposes to include new emojis that reflect users' lives with disabilities
by Imani Jackson
Culture, STEM
Via Emojipedia/TWITTER
Anyone who holds conversations via GIF, meme and/or emoji likely understands that evolving communication technologies and media platforms breed evolving requests for user inclusion. While many users celebrated the digital visuals of darker-skinned people and families with same-sex parents, people who live with disabilities have not yet seen their experiences readily reflected through emojis.
Technology giant Apple wants to include a guide dog, a person in a wheelchair, a prosthetic limb and a service dog, among others characters that would technologically reflect varying levels of human ability. The company submitted a proposal this month to the Unicode Consortium, the non-profit entity that sets emoji standards, on emoji accessibility.
"…Emoji are a universal language and a powerful tool for communication, as well as a form of self-expression, and can be used not only to represent one's own personal experience, but also to show support for a loved one," the company stated in its proposal.
Of course, this proposal is not an Earth-shattering instance of policy change. However, the proposal is of human interest and is also timely, given societal reliance on technology. About 95 percent of Americans currently own a cell phone. Of that number, nearly 80 percent own smartphones, according to the Pew Research Center.
In its proposal, Apple identified the need to reflect physical disabilities affecting vision, hearing or loss of physical motor skills, as well as more hidden, "invisible" types of disability, but also acknowledged that the company's emoji proposal is non-exhaustive.

There hasn't been a lot of activity in this group for a while, but would anybody be interested in a regular lunch date once or twice a month where we can get to know each other better? I know everybody couldn't make each one, but I'm hoping a regular meet up might help this group get some momentum again. We could move it around to different parts of town to make it easier for different people to make it. Anybody interested or have another idea on an event?
Yeah, that would be fun, something shorter & more informal than a normal 'meet up' perhaps?
Yes, we can still do the formal ones with sponsors, but I'm thinking doing some informal meet ups more often would give people more opportunities to make an event.

Q: How to remove alter default CFLAGS in qmake? I'm using qmake/make to build a library. At the moment, the build is working but we can't use the resulting library.
qmake generates this Makefile:
CFLAGS        = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -O2 $(DEFINES)
CXXFLAGS      = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -m64 -mtune=generic -O2 $(DEFINES)

When modifying the Makefile and using those options, it works:
CFLAGS        = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC
CXXFLAGS        = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC

My .pro file contains this informations:
TEMPLATE = lib subdirs
CONFIG = create_prl staticlib
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC
QMAKE_CFLAGS = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC
# and Sources + headers

The question is how can I tell qmake to generate only the flags needed ? (i.e. -Wall -pedantic -fPIC)

A: I succeed removing all flags using those commands:
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = -Wall -pedantic -fPIC

Q: Chromecast from a node media server I used npm hls-server to setup an hls streaming server on my dev machine. Then i took android sample app and tried adding another video with url that of my localhost.
The video plays fine inside the sample app but i am unable to cast it to chromecast.
I tried changing mediatype and also setup cors proxy using npm package cors-anywhere.
I used ffmpeg to generate hls playlist and .ts files.
Would be great if someone can help out.

A: The problem was with my HLS stream. What I did was to use sample receiver app from google and attached debugger to see error code/exceptions.
Then i took another video and used ffmpeg to produce hls again which worked out quite fine.

Q: ICP doesn't do much for my image registration of hands, why? I am trying to align a left and a right hand using ICP.
I tried to align the images as far as I could, using flipping and cropping the images. hands
To be able to use ICP (used this one: https://github.com/ClayFlannigan/icp/blob/master/icp.py), I made sure the matrices of both hands had the same shape.
I am performing the ICP as follows:
icptest = icp(c_cvimgl, c_cvimgr, init_pose=None, max_iterations=20, tolerance=0.001)
img_tr = np.dot(c_cvimgr, icptest[0][-1,-1])
But when displaying the hands nothing has changed. What am I doing wrong?hands after ICP
Eventually I would like to be able to align the left and right hand to a reference-hand to be able to check certain variables.
Adittion after comment:

I want to see the two hands overlaid in one image, but after returning the ICP, the transformation matrix did not change a thing.

Another question indeed is how can I overlay both images :)

A: Sorry for taking time to get back to you, and that this will not be an answer you were looking for. I just had lots to comment on which will not fit in the comment box.
First off, your code sample got mangled by the autoformatter. Try editing it and fencing off your entire code block in triple backticks like this: ```code goes here```. It is currently too hard to make out the indentation levels, which is very important in python.

However, the provided info isn't what I was looking for either.
What I wanted to know was what you expected to happen after you ran ICP on your images. Do you expect the hands to just move around in positions? rotate? or morph in some other ways? From what I see, your hand images had changed between the first and second image; cropped differently and swapped order which you've plotted. Is this expected behavior? Because maybe the code already did work, just not as you've expected. (Again, what are you expecting to happen from the ICP algorithm?)
As for the code snippet, I was also looking for the code you've used to plot the images shown. A common mistake is you are plotting the incorrect variables, hence no change is shown. Currently I cannot tell, because I can't find anything wrong with the provided code.
So distilling your code down to the bare minimum example will really help here. Just create a toy example. Two toy example images you want to perform image registration on. A line of ICP. Another line to plot results. Etc.

Finally, if you are looking to "merge" two images in python, there are many approaches and plenty more tutorials on how to "overlay" two images on top of one another.
Assuming you want to overlay variables created from cvright and cvleft, I think those resulting variables will also be 2D arrays of binary digits.
So the simplest approach I can think of is to use matplotlib's pcolor() function and do something like:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Your code to load / define your images go here

plt.pcolor(cvright, alpha=0.5)
plt.pcolor(cvleft, alpha=0.5)
plt.show()

Test something like this out first, preferrably on examples that you know what the final results should look like. Tinker around with the code until you can get it to output what you expect it to, then try it with your actual hand images.
Hope this atleast helps guide your question somewhat.


First of all, BPD is not a pleasant experience. Being awash with negative emotions all the time is quite painful and unpleasant. Most people with BPD know that they are "not normal" in some way and don't like feeling like they do. No one would as it is very painful.
A person with BPD is characterized by having a diminished ability to regulate one's emotions during the interactions with other people. This means that someone with BPD will likely react much more emotionally to a given situation than someone without BPD. People with BPD are likely to get angry and, at times, fly into a rage of seemingly trivial events and interactions. They also have a tendency to personalize external events. In other words, the person suffering from BPD will believe that other people's behavior and comments are "about them", sometimes interpreting veiled criticism or judgment of their behavior when the evidence shows that there is none. The person with BPD is also likely to be seemingly obsessed with blame and fault-finding. You will likely hear a person with BPD say, "It's not my fault!" or "I did nothing wrong!" These comments and fault-finding behaviors are a consequence of sensitivity to judgment and rejection.
Everyone has both an in-born and learned capacity to regulate his or her emotions. I will discuss what factors contribute to these capacities and how you, as a loved one of someone with BPD, can cope with the problem. As stated earlier, emotions play a vital role in our ability to survive in a sometimes threatening environment. They are "mind reflexes" that protect and inform the mind of the state of the body and the body's assessment of the immediate surroundings. Unfortunately, as with BPD, the messages that are sent are sometimes misaligned with the actual environment.
The ancient Hindu text characterizes this "misperception" of reality in the following manner: "A rope may be momentarily perceived as a snake before ignorance is lifted." [Sankaras Aparoksanubhuti, verse 44] The importance of this "ignorance" is that during the time the rope is perceived as a snake, your emotions react almost completely automatically. (I say "almost" because if you have been taught to love snakes and not to fear them, you will not have a fear reaction even if you misperceive the rope as a snake). You feel fear, it is real and you jump away. Your body reacts as well. When I say "feel fear" I really mean it. Your heart rate increases, the capillaries in your extremities contract to save blood for vital organs, adrenaline is released to your blood stream. Your fear is real and felt directly. However, it is based on a misperception with reality. When you see that it is actually a rope, you might feel foolish or you might, if you had BPD, still try and convince everyone else and yourself it is really a snake or it is a rope that can harm you. The reason is that your feelings are so immediate and seem so "true" than you have to make "reality" match your feelings, rather than the other way around. When an emotional reaction conflicts with the state of the environment for whatever reason, it is said to be a "misaligned" emotional reaction.
The core problem with BPD is poor emotional regulation. However, that particular problem can cause other symptoms to arise as the person with BPD becomes emotionally dysregulated. This term emotionally dysregulated (or just dysregulated) is used to denote the state in which a person with BPD is overcome with powerful and, at many times, misaligned emotional reactions. Remember that emotions don't arise on their own; they are based on cues or triggers from the environment and compared by our "emotional immune system" to the meaning of the cue. For a person with BPD, the meaning can be wrong or, as is more often the case, the sensitivity to emotional cues is greatly heightened.
An example is a heat-sensing system that helps to detect and suppress fires. Sometimes companies will install heat-sensing equipment in addition to smoke detectors so that they can protect assets that need a certain temperature to operate (e.g. computer equipment which might cease working at a high temperature). The setting at which an alarm goes off might be 80 degrees Fahrenheit. In the case of someone with BPD, the setting (or "tolerance" as it is called in the control community) is naturally set much lower, at say, 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That means that the alarm will be raised much more often and lead to a reaction to the alarm. In other words, people with BPD will experience many, many (what you would consider) false alarms. However, these false alarms seem completely real to them, because their tolerance for emotional triggers is set very low.

Yes, Swissquote is completely legit and you can be absolutely sure no financial fraud will never even be attempted by them. But we have more details to share with you in the next paragraph, so stick around.
We also have to mention that Swissquote has a Tier 1 Capital Ratio, which confirms that the whole company is financially stable.

Charity Continues to Deceive Donors In the Name of Fallen Police
"Police officers put their lives on the line every day for their communities. It is wrong for any organization to try to take advantage of public sympathy for the losses of the families of fallen heroes," said Minnesota's Attorney General in an October 10, 2018 press release announcing a complaint filed against the American Federation of Police & Concerned Citizens (AFPCC). The AG of Minnesota (OAG) is accusing AFPCC of using deceptive practices when soliciting contributions from prospective donors in Minnesota. AFPCC's practices allegedly include: misrepresenting its primary charitable program in solicitations; using high-pressure tactics to create a false sense of urgency to elicit immediate donations; and intentionally targeting deceptive solicitations at senior citizens. In addition to requesting that AFPCC be banned from fundraising in Minnesota, the complaint asks for AFPCC to be required to pay monetary relief and civil penalties.
Solicitations Falsely Portray How Donations Are Used
AFPCC raised approximately $19.2 million from donors in 2013-2017 (fiscal year ending June 30th), and over two-thirds of that $19.2 million came from for-profit, professional fundraising activity in the form of direct mail/email solicitations, according to AFPCC's Form 990 tax filings. In the complaint, one of the main accusations against AFPCC is that the charity has misled Minnesota donors by deceptively representing in its direct mail solicitations that donations would exclusively or primarily be used for AFPCC's "Police Family Survivors Fund" program. The Police Family Survivors Fund (the Fund) is one of AFPCC's two main charitable programs. AFPCC describes the Fund as "a program to offer assistance to the families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty;" the assistance primarily includes "Police Family Scholarships," "Family Emergency Assistance," and "Awards & Gifts," based on AFPCC's tax filings.
The Police Family Survivors Fund, however, is not the program on which AFPCC spends the majority of its funds. Instead, most of AFPCC's program spending goes towards its other purported program, providing "education" to the "general public and members." For example, out of AFPCC's reported total program spending in fiscal 2017, only about 17% went to the Fund. The remaining 83% was spent on "education," mostly consisting of "joint costs" from a combined educational campaign and fundraising solicitation, such as "inserting notes into its fundraising solicitations reminding people to have their neighbor get their newspaper when they're away from home, water their Christmas trees, wash their hands, and the like," according to the OAG. In prior years, AFPCC's tax filings report that it has spent even less on the Fund, with the relative proportion at about 14% to 15% annually in fiscal 2013-2016.
The complaint alleges a number of ways in which AFPCC's solicitations have "deceptively indicated that donations would be used solely or primarily for [Police Family Survivors] Fund programs," rather than for public education which actually comprises the majority of its program spending. Some of the allegedly "deceptive" practices described in the complaint include: AFPCC solicitation envelopes and letterhead prominently featuring the Fund, in many instances, more so than AFPCC's name; the Fund being the sole program mentioned in the body of numerous AFPCC solicitation appeals; mailers claiming a "funding goal" of a set amount of money for the Fund; and solicitations with enclosed contribution remittance slips that reiterated that donations were for the Fund and return envelopes that were specifically marked for the Fund. Some AFPCC mailers to potential donors in Minnesota even "falsely stated," according to the complaint, that "100% of your gift – every penny – will immediately be used to provide Emergency Financial Assistance," a program of the Fund. Given these and other examples in the complaint, it states: "Thus, from before a potential donor opened the envelope containing AFPCC's solicitation, until she filled out the remittance slip to send in her donation, AFPCC fostered a deceptive and misleading overall net impression that donations would exclusively or primarily be used for the Fund."
Misrepresenting the GuideStar "Seal of Transparency"
"AFPCC compounded its [Police Family Survivors] Fund-specific deception in some of its mailers by further deceptively stating that GuideStar, a prominent public disseminator of information about charities, 'certified' that donations to AFPCC would be used for Fund programs," according to the complaint. The complaint describes that after receiving a "Platinum Seal of Transparency" from GuideStar, AFPCC started using the seal, along with misleading statements in its direct mail solicitations. Included among the "false and deceptive" statements used by AFPCC, per the complaint, are the following: the "Platinum Seal of Transparency certifies that we use your contributions the way you intend – to comfort and assist police family survivors;" contributions can be made "with confidence knowing that GuideStar, a trusted, independent service has verified" AFPCC's programs; and a donor's "gift will be used wisely" because AFPCC has been "awarded" a Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.
CharityWatch has seen some of the "false and deceptive" statements related to GuideStar's information services and "Seal of Transparency" allegedly used by AFPCC being used in a similar manner by other charities, as well. Consequently, we have been cautioning donors not to read too much into a GuideStar seal displayed on a charity's solicitation materials or website. The GuideStar seal indicates nothing more than the amount of particular information a charity provides to GuideStar. The information is not vetted or analyzed by GuideStar after being collected; it simply becomes available as part of the charity's GuideStar profile. As a result, poorly-run charities with low program spending ratios, like AFPCC, can still qualify for a Platinum or Gold Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, and worse yet, those charities may try to use that seal to mislead or confuse donors into thinking it means more than it actually does. AFPCC seems to have taken this tactic to the extreme by falsely claiming that the platinum seal means that GuideStar has actually "verified" its programs and "certified" its program spending.
A Track Record of Misleading Donors & Poor Ratings
This is not the first time the OAG has sued AFPCC. In 1995, the OAG sued AFPCC for, among other things, allegedly deceiving Minnesota donors and filing inaccurate and noncompliant documents with the OAG. The claims in the 1995 lawsuit were settled the following year in exchange for AFPCC agreeing to adhere to the terms of a Consent Decree. The 2018 lawsuit, however, also alleges that since at least the start of 2013, AFPCC has breached the terms of that Consent Decree "numerous times" by: misrepresenting its primary charitable program and that donations would be restricted to that program; misleading donors by claiming it had a local area "funding goal;" and failing to comply with the OAG's "requirements for using the joint-cost allocation practice" on its financial reporting. AFPCC's allegedly deceptive fundraising practices have raised red flags in other states, as well. In particular, the 2018 complaint notes that police departments in California, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, and North Dakota have issued public alerts warning donors that AFPCC is not affiliated with their departments, and that any donations made to AFPCC would not be set aside to aid local police families.
AFPCC has a 20-year track record of receiving poor grades from CharityWatch. This includes receiving an "F" for its fiscal year 2017 when AFPCC spent only 27% of its total cash budget on charitable programs and had a $65 cost to raise each $100 in funds, according to our analysis. In addition, CharityWatch alerted donors to AFPCC's misleading solicitations regarding its Police Family Survivors Fund in our article, Solicitation Fails to Mention Government's Huge Role in Helping Fallen Police, published in January 2015. That same CharityWatch article also reminded donors that there are numerous federal, state, and local government programs that already provide assistance to eligible families of law enforcement officials killed in the line of duty. For example, at the federal level, the U.S. Department of Justice Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program provides a death benefit of $350,079 (as of January 2018) to the eligible survivors of each fallen law enforcement official.
Additionally, CharityWatch gives an "F" grade to the National Association of Chiefs of Police (NACOP), a charity related to AFPCC. NACOP and AFPCC share an office address and are operated and managed by some of the same individuals, including Barry and Brent Shepherd, the CEO and CFO, respectively, of both charities. In March 2018, NACOP and the Shepherds (who are brothers) were banned in Iowa for five years from soliciting donations on behalf of NACOP or any other law enforcement charity. Similar to the allegations by the OAG against AFPCC, the State of Iowa alleged, among other things, that NACOP's direct mail solicitations were giving "the false impression" that funds raised would be used to provide "vital support" to disabled officers locally in Iowa counties. In addition to the five-year fundraising ban, under the terms of the agreed upon Assurance of Voluntary Compliance, NACOP was required to pay $5,000 to the office of the Iowa Attorney General and to provide refunds to Iowans who requested one within a six-month time frame. Neither NACOP nor the Shepherds admitted to any wrongdoing in the Iowa case.
Make Your Donation to Police Families Count
In general, donors should be particularly cautious when it comes to giving in response to direct mail or telemarketing solicitations from charities claiming to support police officers, firefighters, state troopers, or other first responder related causes. Most of the Crime & Fire Prevention charities rated by CharityWatch receive "D" or "F" grades, and, unfortunately, there are some bad actors who will try to exploit the public's sympathy for fallen or injured first responders for their own personal gain. If you are solicited to donate to a charity claiming to support the first responders in your community, contact your local police, fire, or sheriff's department before you give to ask if they are familiar with that charity's program services. Reputable charities will not pressure you to give on the spot, and taking the time to first do an independent check on the legitimacy of the charity will help ensure your donation gets used efficiently on the charitable programs you intended to support.

Aaron Paul Reportedly Attached to Young Han Solo Project
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | December 28, 2014 |
A source that has proven reliable in the past for the site, MakingStarWars.net, has revealed a few interesting details about the first Star Wars spin-off, which will come from director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) and is set for release in December 2016.
Their source reveals that 1) the codename for the film is Luminac Industrial Goods, 2) that filming will overlap with Star Wars: Episode VIII, 3) that it will focus on a young Han Solo, and 4) that Aaron Paul is "looking to be attached," whatever that means.
No word on whether he is "looking to be attached" to play young Han Solo, but Gareth Edwards would have to be a bonehead of magnificent proportions to pass up an opportunity to get Aaron Paul to play a young Han Solo because that would be incredible (bitch), especially if young Han Solo were all eyeliners and Goth, as illustrated in the image above.
On the other hand, Aaron Paul is currently the same age that Harrison Ford was when Star Wars was released (35).
Interestingly, Aaron Paul recently played Luke Skywalker in a stage reading of the original Star Wars.

The fortunate next inheritor of the estate was friend and travelling companion to Edmund Hammond and the remainder-man under his will, William Hamilton, a merchant at Naples, son of William Hamilton, sen. of Killyleagh, co. Down, Ireland. William's sister Anne Hamilton, married on 26 December 1843, Charles Ross Fleming, MD of Dublin, eldest son of the Revd James Fleming of Kilkenny who, on the death of the 7th Earl in 1747, assumed the Scottish Earldom of Wigtoun and styled himself [8th] Earl of Wigtoun and voted without challenge at Holyrood in several elections of Scottish representative Peers. In 1761 he was ordered to appear before the House of Lords and show by what authority he took that title, whereupon he presented a petition, claiming descent from Alexander Fleming, a brother of the 2nd Earl, in the usual form, praying their Lordships to allow him to take up the honours, dignities, &c.; but in 1762 it was decided that he had not proved his claim. He died 18 October 1769, and seven years later his son, Hamilton Fleming who styled himself 9th Earl of Wigtoun, presented a petition to the House of Lords to the same effect, but was also unable to prove his descent to the satisfaction of the House. He died on 13 June 1809 with an only child, daughter Harriet, who married William Gyll, Esq. of Wyradisbury House, Buckinghamshire, when the title would have become extinct anyhow. William Hamilton married in 1752, Sophia Baillie, who is mentioned in his will, and outlived him, whether they had any issue is unclear, but he had sold Sparrowe's Nest by the time of his death. On the death of Charles Ross Fleming in 1769, William Hamilton went to live with his widowed sister Anne at Queen Anne Street, London and placed Sparrowe's Nest on the market and in 1772 the estate, together with other former Hammond manors, were sold to Lt. Col. Richard Burton-Phillipson for the sum of £7,200 with a sale of the contents of the house and gardens taking place by auction, the building to be demolished. William Hamilton died at his home at Queen Anne Street, Cavendish Square, London on 7 February 1776.
[a codicil of 4th January 1776 increased the payment and annuity to his wife Sophia by £50 each] 'and all estates either leasehold or otherwise which were part of the estate of her late father…with all other estates and effects which she was intituled.
This will was proved at London with a codicil this tenth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy six before the Worshipful George Harris….the Right Honourable Hamilton Fleming, Earl of Wigton, the nephew of the deceased, and one of the executors named in the said will to whom administration…is granted.
NOTE: an amount of £200 in 1776 would equate to £257,000 in 2008 if increased at average earnings over the course of the period.

Q: GLSL "in" structs I'm not allowed to use a struct with the in keyword, am I? For example:
struct Rect {
    float x,y,width,height;
};

layout(location = 7) in Rect TexSrc;

It's difficult to Google, but I get an error when I try to use my GLSL shader (INVALID_OPERATION). It appears I'm allowed to use float[4] however.
If I'm not allowed to use a struct, what do you suggest I do? Construct the struct out of a float[4], or suck it up, forgo the nice API, and use indices 0-3 everywhere?
(A vec4 would work here as well, I know, but z and w don't have quite the same meaning as "width" and "height", and this is only one example)
I suppose you can only specify a single type per location with glVertexAttribPointer, so I can see why a struct would be disallowed... I'm just trying to think of a way to keep my code clean and ledgible without compromising performance.

A: You cannot have vertex shader inputs of structs.
The correct way to do this is to just stick them in a vec4. If you use a float[4], this will require four attributes instead of just one. Arrays always take up one attribute per element. So if you do layout(location = 7) in float[4] TexSrc;, this will take up the attribute indices 7, 8, 9, and 10. That's an awful waste of attributes, and it could degrade performance.
Just use a vec4 like everyone else. People pack inputs in vec4s all the time; they use comments to explain any semantic oddities.
BTW, if you're getting an invalid operation, that probably means you didn't actually check to see if your shader compiled and linked properly. You should always do that.
New stuff
OpenGL 4.4 or the ARB_enhanced_layouts extension, allow you to do something like this.
As previously stated, the main problem with layout(location = 7) in float[4] TexSrc; is that it takes up 4 input locations. So if you have 4 floats that aren't really a 4D vector, you still have to pack them into a vec4 for shipping into the shader:
layout(location = 7) in vec4 rect;

This makes it a lot harder to know what rect.z means in the shader, since it doesn't have any explicit meaning.
4.4/enhanced_layouts allow you to pack multiple variables in a single location, so long as their components don't overlap. So if each location is conceptually a vec4, we can split that into 2 vec2s:
layout(location = 7, component = 0) in vec2 rectPos;
layout(location = 7, component = 2) in vec2 rectSize;

Now we get some semantic information. rectPos is the position of the rectangle, while rectSize is its size. And it still only takes up one location.
The enhanced layouts feature allows this to work for any inputs and outputs, not just vertex shaders.

Q: Adding support for privileges to an ASP.NET MVC application already supporting roles based authorization I currently have a system where there is a user table, a role table, and a user-roles association table, where one user can be associated to multiple roles (like Admin, BasicUser, etc.). I am able to authorize action methods based on these roles.
Now I want to add support for privileges so that action methods can be restricted based on those as well, rather than just by roles. For example, in a Controller, I may have an HTTPPost action that only someone with a "Write" privilege should be able to perform successfully.
What changes do I need to make so that I can assign privileges to roles? I.E., I want to select the "Admin" role to have the "Write" and "Read" privileges, while a "BasicUser" role will only have a "Read" privilege. This way, an Admin can access any method that is allowed by the Write privilege, while the BasicUser can not.

A: This could be as simple as hanging a few more fields onto the Role table, like CanRead and CanWrite.  If you want it to be more sophisticated than that, add a RolePermission table with a Role foreign key.
