Mary Halvorson: Code Girl
In the span of less than two decades, Mary Halvorson has revolutionized the vernacular of jazz guitar. In 2016, NPR noted that she "sounds like no other guitarist," a sound The New York Times' Nate Chinen breathlessly described as "a flinty attack, a spidery finesse, and a shiver of wobbly delay." In the earliest days of her ascendance, she earned the imprimatur of collaborators like Anthony Braxton, Eugene Chadbourne, and Trevor Dunn, predecessors responsible for musical frameshifts of their own. But her writing and work as a bandleader, from her commanding octet to her guilelessly conversational trio Thumbscrew, have established her as one of the leading voices of the modern jazz renaissance. A rapacious student of previous guitar masters and a fastidious technician, Halvorson has achieved that most rare combination—a singular sound, adaptable to infinite contexts.
But her newest band, Code Girl, might well be her most audacious and compelling move yet. Retaining the essence of Halvorson's instantly identifiable approach to timing, tone, and texture, Code Girl expands it with the support of a sympathetic quartet of collaborative players. Bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Tomas Fujiwara, the backbone of Mary's trio project Thumbscrew, return here, with trumpeter Adam O'Farrill adding bluesy moans and scrambled howls in the open spaces. And then there's Amirtha Kidambi, a staggering singer whose extended techniques and ability to seesaw between operatic flair and soulful gusto gives her freedom to roam inside these songs. Halvorson herself has never sounded so authoritative, so attuned to how every note should waft or ever signal should be bent. If you want to understand the promise of jazz a century after it marched out of New Orleans, this is the perfect indoctrination.
This performance is open to guests of all ages! Because MilkBoy ArtHouse is a music venue, restaurant, and bar, ID checks will take place as you enter the venue. Guests age 21+ will be given a wristband that will allow them to purchase alcohol during the event.

"I kind of can't stand when people tell me how 'brave' I am for talking about it," says Lachrista Greco, 30, who was diagnosed with herpes almost two year ago. That kind of narrative can actually perpetuate the stigma around the virus. By insinuating that talking about something makes someone brave, the implication is that that thing shouldn't be talked about at all.
Oral herpes (HSV-1) infection (or exposure without noticeable infection) is common. About 65% of the U.S. population has detectable antibodies to HSV-1 by age 40. This article will focus on HSV-1, or oral herpes, not on HSV-2, also commonly known as genital herpes. Genital herpes is considered to be a sexually transmitted disease (STD). In addition, HSV-2 virus should not be confused with human papillomavirus (HPV), the cause of genital warts, and some cervical and other cancer types.
Some people have recurrent outbreaks with the so-called "classic" blister-like herpes lesions that crust over, or with painful sores. In recurrent herpes, however, this process usually takes about half the time it does in first episodes. In addition, many people have very subtle forms of recurrent herpes that heal up in a matter of days. And lastly, herpes is capable of reactivating without producing any visible lesions (asymptomatic reactivation).
The most common reason that people develop cold sores on their mouths is due to becoming infected with HSV-1. (4) HSV-1 usually causes cold sore breakouts around the lips or mouth, or what some people describe as "fever blisters." Someone can become infected with HSV-1 starting as a child, and then the virus can lay dormant in the body until the immune system is weakened, at which point symptoms can surface.

Research article: Andrei G; Lisco A; Vanpouille C; et al. (October 2011). "Topical Tenofovir, a Microbicide Effective against HIV, Inhibits Herpes Simplex Virus-2 Replication". Cell Host. 10 (4): 379–89. doi:10.1016/j.chom.2011.08.015. PMC 3201796. PMID 22018238.
Stage 3 -- Recurrence: When people encounter certain stresses (also termed triggers), emotional or physical, the virus may reactivate and cause new sores and symptoms. The following factors may contribute to or trigger recurrence: stress, illness, ultraviolet light (UV rays including sunshine), fever, fatigue, hormonal changes (for example, menstruation), immune depression, and trauma to a site or a nerve region where previous HSV infection occurred.
Doctors prescribe suppressive treatment if a person experiences more than six recurrences in a year. In some cases, a doctor my recommend that the individual takes daily antiviral treatment indefinitely. The aim here is to prevent further recurrences. Although suppressive treatment significantly reduces the risk of passing HSV to a partner, there is still a risk.
According to Cullins, there are no standardized guidelines from the CDC for suppressive therapy through medication, but it is an option that people with HSV should talk to their healthcare providers about. "If a person knows they have had herpes in the past that has affected their genitals, they can take suppressive therapy — for example, 500 mg of valacyclovir daily." While it won't prevent outbreaks, it will prevent asymptomatic virus shedding. Preventing exposure to the virus through both medication and a physical barrier can be very effective.
Neonatal herpes simplex is a HSV infection in an infant. It is a rare but serious condition, usually caused by vertical transmission of HSV-1 or -2) from mother to newborn. During immunodeficiency, herpes simplex can cause unusual lesions in the skin. One of the most striking is the appearance of clean linear erosions in skin creases, with the appearance of a knife cut.[20] Herpetic sycosis is a recurrent or initial herpes simplex infection affecting primarily the hair follicles.[21]:369 Eczema herpeticum is an infection with herpesvirus in patients with chronic atopic dermatitis may result in spread of herpes simples throughout the eczematous areas.[21]:373
Laboratory testing is often used to confirm a diagnosis of genital herpes. Laboratory tests include culture of the virus, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) studies to detect virus, skin biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction to test for presence of viral DNA. Although these procedures produce highly sensitive and specific diagnoses, their high costs and time constraints discourage their regular use in clinical practice.[39]
Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections are acquired from direct contact with someone who carries the virus. The infectious secretions that pass on HSV-1 or HSV-2 live on oral, genital or anal mucosal surfaces. They're passed through skin-to-skin transmission, and any form of direct contact with sores on the mouth, buttocks or genitals can cause the virus to be passed.
These herpes viruses enter the body through small cuts, abrasions, or breaks in the skin or mucous membranes. The incubation period for herpes simplex infections is about three to six days. Transmission (spread) of the virus is person to person and more likely to occur if blisters or lesions are present. The majority enter after an uninfected person has direct contact with someone carrying the virus (either with or without noticeable lesions). Simply touching an infected person is often the way children get exposed. Adolescents and adults frequently get exposed by skin contact but may get their first exposure by kissing or sexual contact (oral and/or genital contact), especially for HSV-2. Statistical studies suggest that about 80%-90% of people in the U.S. have been exposed to HSV-1 and about 30% have been exposed to HSV-2. Usually, the contagious period continues until lesions heal. Some people (estimated from 30%-50%) occasionally shed herpes virus while having few or no associated symptoms or signs.
Transmission of HSV-1 occurs by direct exposure to saliva or droplets formed in the breath of infected individuals. In addition, skin contact with the lesions on an infected individual can spread the disease to another individual. Although close personal contact is usually required for transmission of the virus, it is possible to transmit HSV-1 when people share toothbrushes, drinking glasses, or eating utensils.
Canker sores are sometimes thought to be caused by HSV, but this is not true. Canker sores occur only inside the mouth, on the tongue, and on the soft palate (roof of mouth), not on skin surfaces. Although they reoccur, they are not contagious, usually are self-limiting, and have almost no complications. Canker sores are caused by substances that irritate the lining of the mouth.
Herpes symptoms commonly show in or around the mouth. Sores may also occur at the back of the throat, causing the lymph nodes in the neck to swell. Mouth herpes is very common in children, as their parents or relatives can pass it on to them easily by a greeting or goodnight kiss. To get a better understanding of oral herpes, let us take a look at its causes.
Jamie*, 29, is HSV-positive and contracted herpes from her husband. But, she explains, "He only had one outbreak when he was young and that was it. So he didn't realize what it was." Jamie was infected three years into their relationship simply because he had outbreaks that infrequently. She says, "I was worried he had cheated on me, but then found similar stories online, and our outbreak patterns underscore that what happened is very possible."
You are not alone .... Yes take valtrex ....I take mine every day I found out in July and I didn't have outbreak like others on here have. I had my first experience just this week of going to bathroom and when urine hit the sore I almost passed out. It got better but now I an having awful lower back pain. I am taking it one day at a time. I am still learning all I can and a lot has been from this site. You have all on this site to support you. You really need someone besides this to talk to I will be on here so you have me to talk to I am old enough to be your Grandmother yep Grannys got it too .
Genital herpes is an incurable disease. But, there are medications to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrent outbreaks. Prosurx is the best and most common treatment option for genital herpes. It can give your partner immediate relief and stop their outbreak before it starts. Prosurx can also reduce your partner's risks of spreading the virus to you. So, ask your partner to apply Prosurx 2-3 times a day to get rid of genital herpes.
Genital herpes is passed on by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, oral or anal sex, or by sharing sex toys. You can get genital herpes even if there are no visible sores or blisters, and once you have the virus, there is no cure. 'Herpes is more likely to be passed on just before, during or straight after an outbreak, as herpes blisters and sores are highly infectious,' says O'Sullivan.
Prodrome: Early in the phase of reactivation (also called an outbreak), many people experience an itching, tingling, or painful feeling in the area where their recurrent lesions will develop. This sort of warning symptom – called a "prodrome" – often comes a day or two before lesions appear. To be on the safe side, it's best to assume virus is active (and, therefore, can be spread through direct skin-to-skin contact) during these times.
The causes of reactivation are uncertain, but several potential triggers have been documented. A 2009 study showed the protein VP16 plays a key role in reactivation of the dormant virus.[71] Changes in the immune system during menstruation may play a role in HSV-1 reactivation.[72][73] Concurrent infections, such as viral upper respiratory tract infection or other febrile diseases, can cause outbreaks. Reactivation due to other infections is the likely source of the historic terms 'cold sore' and 'fever blister'.
In all cases, HSV is never removed from the body by the immune system. Following a primary infection, the virus enters the nerves at the site of primary infection, migrates to the cell body of the neuron, and becomes latent in the ganglion.[14] As a result of primary infection, the body produces antibodies to the particular type of HSV involved, preventing a subsequent infection of that type at a different site. In HSV-1-infected individuals, seroconversion after an oral infection prevents additional HSV-1 infections such as whitlow, genital herpes, and herpes of the eye. Prior HSV-1 seroconversion seems to reduce the symptoms of a later HSV-2 infection, although HSV-2 can still be contracted.
Oral herpes, commonly referred to as mouth herpes, is a viral infection of the mouth and gums primarily by the Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) but may also be due to the genital variant (HSV-2). It is also known as recurrent herpetic stomatitis or acute herpetic gingivostomatitis. The infection of the mouth typically causes small fluid-filled blisters known as vesicles on the roof of the mouth (palate), inside of the cheeks (buccal muscosa), tongue, gums and even the lips (herpes labialis). It may also occur on the skin around the mouth and extend to the nose and into the nasal cavity.
Cullins explains that even if you've never had an outbreak, if you've been exposed to herpes, it lies dormant in your body. A blood test could reveal antibodies for HSV-1 and/or HSV-2, which means that you have been exposed to the infection in your past, you have been infected, and you have developed antibodies because your body has or is fighting the infection.

A scary finding is that more cases of genital herpes than ever before are now being caused by HSV-1 (the type most people assume only causes mouth sores), and about 85 percent of people with genital herpes don't even know it. (7) Studies show that about 50 percent of the new genital herpes infections in young adults are due to HSV-1 and about 40 percent in older adults. The fact that most people don't ever find out they're infected is one of the reasons that transmission rates are steadily climbing.

Kendall Kafe Opens its Doors in Tamarac
By Guest on No Comments
Kendall Kafe {Bryan Boggiano}
By Bryan Boggiano
The Kendall family, former owners of D'Apple Cafe in Coral Springs for nearly 13 years, celebrated the grand opening of Kendall Kafe in Tamarac on Tuesday.
Located at 7658 N. Nob Hill Road in the Kings Point Plaza, Kendall Kafe is owned by Diron and Michelle Kendall and his mother, Debbe. The menu and staff are largely the same, but the atmosphere is different. They replaced the apple theme with frames and scenery displaying positive messages.
Kendall Kafe has breakfast all day, with options such as omelets, biscuits and gravy, grits, Belgian waffles, and pancakes. They also serve lunch items such as hamburgers, wraps, and sandwiches.
For Diron, he said the new theme represents a rebirth for the family and the restaurant after a rough 2020. His father, Lloyd, an Army veteran, died in January. There is still one apple in the new restaurant, and it serves as a memorial to him.
Last May, D'apple closed due to the pandemic. The family started a GoFundMe campaign to keep the restaurant open, which served as a community cornerstone, but it was unsuccessful.
"I so miss watching the people and their children grow," said Diron. "I miss that I watched kids in a high chair go to high school then rooting for them at their colleges. I cry that I know that after MSD, being the closest cafe, we were open to the teachers, first responders, and reporters that witnessed and filmed that massacre and the children that didn't get that chance to come back."
They delayed reopening to keep themselves and their customers safe from COVID-19. But since Tuesday, Diron said that Tamarac residents welcomed and supported them, and he hopes to have the same impact at the new location.
"Tamarac residents have been so great as well," he said. "I hope we can get the same loyalty and friends we gained from [Coral Springs]."

Former rugby star Sam Stanley is opening up about his relationship with Laurence Hicks, a travel agent Stanley met on the website SilverDaddies.com.
We applaud Stanley for being open and honest regarding his relationship with Hicks.
Sam Stanley also opened about his decision to come out.


....but I wrote this poem for the site one day when in a silly mood.
Don't leave out the shiny, pricey new.
To dramas filled with plots so tragic.
Biographies where sheer will survives.
They continue to live through legend and tome.
All genres hold my captivation.

Involving people with dementia in research
The present paper constitutes the input of Alzheimer Europe and its member organisations to the ongoing discussions about the participation of people with dementia in research and in particular the Council of Europe Convention on Biomedicine and Human Rights and the Draft Additional Protocol to the Convention on Biomedical Research.
For the participation of people with dementia in clinical trials, the organisation refers to the specific position paper it has adopted with regard to this question.
Alzheimer Europe would like to recall a few general principles which guide this present response:
A diagnosis of dementia does not in itself constitute a lack of legal capacity.
Capacity is not an all or nothing affair. People with dementia should therefore be involved in decisions concerning research even if they are considered unable to consent.
People with dementia have a right to participate in research, should they so desire.
People with dementia should be encouraged to write advance directives covering the issue of participation in research.
Subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, a legal representative should be allowed to consent to participate in research on behalf of a person with dementia who is no longer able to consent him/herself (provided that they take into account his/her past and present wishes).
On the basis of these principles, Alzheimer Europe has developed the following position with regard to the participation of people with dementia in research:
In the early stages of the disease, people with dementia can themselves consent to research or declare their willingness to participate in research in an advance directive irrespective of whether such research is likely to entail a direct personal benefit.
A doctor with the relevant expertise and who is not linked to the research should assess the level of capacity of the person with dementia in order to ensure that s/he has sufficient mental capacity to take such a decision and is fully aware of the consequences.
Legal representatives should be able to consent on behalf of people with dementia to participate in research, if the following main conditions are met:
the potential benefit for the person's health is clearly greater than the possible risks;
the risk of causing discomfort or distress is minimal; the research has been approved by an independent ethics committee;
the same results could not be obtained with other subjects;
the legal representative does not benefit financially from the decision;
s/he has been specifically authorised to give consent by a court or the person with dementia;
the necessary safeguards have been taken to protect the privacy of the person with dementia and to respect his/her dignity.
In all cases, an independent adviser should be appointed with responsibility for the safety and welfare of the participants.
Based on its current information, Alzheimer Europe does not endorse the participation of people with dementia in research WITHOUT a potential benefit for the participants unless the person with dementia decided to participate him/herself and had sufficient capacity to make such a decision. Such decision could have been stated in an advance directive.
The full position can be downloaded below.

Rivers Health College Now Mobilises For NYSC
The Rivers State College of Health Science and Management Technology, Rumueme, Port Harcourt, now mobilises its graduates for the one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
The Provost of the college, Prof Franklin Nlerum, disclosed this during the matriculation of fresh students into various academic disciplines of the college.
He equally disclosed that the college now runs diploma and national diploma programmes, and admits students through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Addressing journalists in his office, the provost said, "Matriculation is a period when we officially enter students' names into the college diaries. It's an occasion for the students, their parents and the college to celebrate the beginning of another admission. We admitted 878 students that matriculated today. This is higher than the number we have ever enrolled in this institution. It's an indication that the college is growing."
Nlerum attributed the growth of the institution to the law enacted by the Rivers House of Assembly and accented to by the Rivers State governor.
"The law removed the college from the Ministry of Health to the Ministry of Education where all the higher instructions in Rivers State belong. The college now runs diploma and national diplomas, admits students through JAMB, and mobilises students for NYSC.
"We are doing well; the national board accredits all our courses for technical education. We were able to accredit all our expired programmes. The Rivers State Governor, Chief NyesomWike, offered financial assistance to achieve this feat. However, there are still areas that need to be covered".
Nlerum charged the matriculating students to concentrate on their studies and key into the academic excellence the college offers.
"We have inculcated in them that in this college we do not have time to play around, and they have also keyed into it. What I am expecting from them is, having matriculated today, they should know it's no more business as usual; they should concentrate on their studies. Very soon we are going in for our internal examinations. I encourage them to study and be ready for their examinations".
Miss Sunday Faith Soraniabasi of the Department of Medical Imaging Technology and Mr Sunday Ledito Joseph of the Department of Dental Health Science matriculated that day.
Both affirmed commitment to their studies and to abide by the institution's rules and regulations.
In a related development, the Community Development Committee (CDC) Chairman of Orowo community Rumueme, the host community of the institution, Comrade AmadiThankGod, while responding to questions from journalists during the event, said the citing of the college in the community had attracted many fortunes to the community.
"As you can witness, the Orowo community chiefs and elders were invited by the college authority to witness the admission of the new students. Orowo community has benefited a lot from the school in admission, contracts, staff employment, etc. Any indigene of this community attending this school here is on scholarship. I can attest that more than 30 indigenes of this community are in different grades of employment in this college. In fact, we are having cordial relationship with the school authority."
Amadi used the opportunity to call on the Rivers State Government to build more hostels and classrooms and rehabilitate the dilapidated ones.
"However, the college needs the attention of the Rivers State Government. As the number of students is increasing, infrastructure like hostel accommodation and classroom blocks are no longer insufficient. Most of the buildings are dilapidated, and the infrastructure is decaying. This is a college, not a secondary school. Even some secondary schools have more and better infrastructure than this. We appeal to the government to come to the aid of the college".

Looking for a magic voice in any genre.
My strong connections in the biz will be brought to bear when I find what I'm looking for. No groups, solo artists only.
What I'm looking for:
Ive had the good fortune in having some of the greatest voices of popular music sing my songs and on my productions.
Diana Ross, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, Natalie Cole, Isaac Hayes, Rod Stewart and Cher are inspirational, not because of their technical abilities but because of their star status, hit making identifiable unique sound, their conviction, their drama, their interpretation of lyric and their believability.
I'm looking for character voices:
Other singers who I like are Adele, John Mayer, Vince Gill, Prince, Cee lo Green, Elvis Costello, Al Green and the lead singer in the band Slipknot.
I dont like singers that I perceive to be pretenders like Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift or John Legend. I do however like "The Pretenders".
What I intend to do if I find the magic voice:
Someone calculated that as a player/arranger/producer/songwriter I am on about one hundred million records. With that I have developed significant connections in the biz.
When I find the right voice I will produce an appropriate series of recordings of my anthemic songs with that individual and present that to my connections for major investment and development.
I intend to create a new star.

To boost jobs, Telangana govt to offer tax cuts to firms hiring locals
About 5% additional investment subsidy will be given to the industries for recruiting locals, said CMO.
Koride Mahesh
A decision has also been taken by the government to promote electric vehicles to reduce air pollution, especially in Greater Hyderabad.
HYDERABAD: The Telangana government on Wednesday announced a slew of incentives to industries that recruit locals in skilled and semi-skilled jobs. The government has also decided to offer incentives to IT firms if they set up units in areas other than the western corridor of Hyderabad.
According to CMO officials, industries will get incentives in VAT, GST, SGST, electricity tariff and investment subsidy. Since small and medium units are already getting 100% tax incentives, the government has decided to extend the benefits to medium and major industries now. Power tariff has been slashed considerably. Category I industries will be charged Re 0.50 per unit to Re 0.75 per unit for power consumption, while tariff will be Re 1 per unit for category II industries.
"About 5% additional investment subsidy will be given to the industries for recruiting locals," the CMO said.
'IT industry can't be in 1 location'
Sources said since the models followed by states such as Maharashtra, AP, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh offering incentives with a condition that industries recruit locals did not succeed, Telangana has evolved a separate industrial policy.
It may be recalled the government has been implementing TSiPASS for singlewindow clearances and also to attract investments. Towards this end, the industries have been divided into two categories.
"Category I industries should have 70% semi-skilled locals and 50% skilled from the local pool. Under Category II, 80% of semiskilled workers should be locals and 60% of the skilled should be locals," the CMO said. The state cabinet led by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao met here on Wednesday and discussed various issues, including industrial incentives, IT policy, construction of the new secretariat complex and Covid-19 situation in the state.
"With this new industrial policy, the government wanted to create a favourable environment and want local youth to get jobs in the industries. To make skilled manpower available, core industries will be attached to Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK)," an official said.
The cabinet also felt that the IT industry in Hyderabad should not be confined to one location and should be spread to all corners of the city. The cabinet approved a grid policy (growth in dispersion) to provide incentives to the IT companies which set up units in areas other than Hi-Tec City, Madhapur and Gachibowli.
Under the grid policy, the government has decided to encourage Kompally on the northern side of the city, Uppal and Pocharam towards eastern parts, Shamshabad and Adibatla on the southern part and Kollur and Osman Sagar on northwestern part of Hyderabad.
The incentives include: 50% of the land can be converted from industrial to IT park, 50% of land can be used for commercial and residential purposes and only 30% will be collected towards registration and conversion charges. Apart from this, power subsidy at Rs 2 per unit will be given to the promoters. "A special package is being prepared for firms that have more than 500 employees," an official said.

There are a few tuts available for Packet tracer on internet but I have made this guide keeping absolute beginners in mind and when I say absolute beginners, I mean really absolute beginners. In this guide we are going to create a star topology and see the difference between hub and a switch.
To those people who don't know what Packet Tracer is, it is a software developed by Cisco that can simulate networks and can be really helpful for people preparing for CCNA. See How to install Packet Tracer in Windows and Linux.
So Let's start our tutorial. Open Packet Tracer. On the lower left corner, there are components required for creating a network. There are routers, switches, End devices, Hubs, Wireless Devices, Connections etc.
Click on "Hubs". To the right, you should see types of hubs displayed. Click on the first type 'Generic', move your mouse to the workspace above and click on the point you want to place your hub.
Click on the hub we just placed in our workspace. You are shown the physical view of the hub and it is a physical view literally. You can even see the Power button of the hub.
Click on the "Config" tab just beside the "Physical" tab. You are shown the global settings of the hub. You can change the display name of the hub hers. Change it from "Hub0″ to "Hub". Then close it.
Now we are going to place five computers around the hub to form Hub and Spoke topology. From the components on the lower left corner click on "End devices". From the options displayed, click on the first choice called "Generic" hold "CTRL" key and click on the workspace at five points around the hub where you want to place your computers. This is a shortcut to place many devices.
Click on any "PC". You should see something similar to "CPU". This is the physical view of the PC. We can even see the Power button.
Click on the "Config" tab beside "Physical" tab. On the global settings, change the name of the PC to "PC 1″. On gateway/DNS select "DHCP". We will set up a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the PC's. You can have a look at other tabs beside "Config" tab.
Perform this action for other PC's also and name them differently. Then from "End Devices" select "Server" and place it on the workspace as below.
Click on "Server". Go to "Config" tab. We can see the services which can be configured on our servers HTTP, DHCP etc etc.
Click on "DHCP". Keep the Pool name, default gateway and DNS server same. Give "starting IP address" as "192.168.0.1″ and "subnet mask" as "255.255.255.0″. Turn on DHCP service if it is OFF. Click on "Save".
Click on the interface "FastEthernet" to the left. Set IP configuration as static and give "IP address" as 192.168.0.1 and "subnet mask" as "255.255.255.0″. Close the window.
Now we are going to connect our devices. In the components to the lower left corner, Click on "Connections".
Do the same for all connections.
After some time, IP addresses are assigned to all systems by the DHCP server. Hover the mouse over the systems to check if IP addresses are assigned or not.
Now let's see the functioning of the hub. Click on "Simulation" beside "Realtime" as shown below.
The Event List window will open. Click on "Edit Filters". We will see various protocols.
Deselect "Show All/None" option. All options are deselected. Then Select ICMP option. What we are doing is trying to ping the machine.
Close the Event List window.
Click on "Add Simple PDU" as shown below. When we move the mouse on the workspace we can see a white envelope moving along with the mouse.
First click on the sending device( Click on "PC0″ ). Then select the receiving device( Click on the "Server" ). It should be clear to you that we are pinging the server from PC0. Our screen would like this.
We will now see how packets travel from PC0 to the Server. Click on "Capture/Forward" as shown below.
Click on "Capture/Forward" again. The ping travels from PC0 to the hub.
Click on "Capture/Forward" again. The hub forwards the frame on all the ports, except the port through which the frame came in. All hosts except Server discard the frame since it is not addressed to them.
Click on "Capture/Forward". The server forwards a frame to the hub.
Click on "Capture/Forward". The hub once again forwards the frame on all ports except the input port. All hosts except PC0 discard it since it is not addressed to them. The simulation success message is shown as below.
To see the list of complete events undergone in this communication, Click on "Event List" as shown below.
As already seen Hubs forward a frame they receive on all the outbound ports except the port through which it received the frame. When connected using hubs, the host devices share same bandwidth of the medium. Since they share the same bandwidth, hosts can send frames at the same time on the medium which can result in collisions. In order to prevent frame collisions, Ethernet uses "Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision detect(CSMA?CD)". Of course this prevents collisions but it still consumes a lot of bandwidth. The only solution is to this problem is to make the collision domain as small as possible.
Click on "Delete" as shown below.
Click on the hub. This will delete the hub and also the connections.
Replace it with a "2960″ switch and make the connections in the same way as done previously.
Add a simple ICMP PDU as done previously.
Click on "Capture/Forward". The first frame travels to the switch.
Click on "Capture/Forward" again. The switch forwards the frame only to the Server, it's intended destination.
Subsequently the frame is forwarded to switch which forwards it to PC0 thus completing the communication.
Now How does this happen?
This happens because a switch creates only one collision domain per port forwarding frames only on the outbound port that reaches the destionation of the frame. Since the hosts work in their own isolated collision domain, frames will never collide thus solving the problem of collisons.

Escrow.com, the pioneer of online escrow services, is pleased to announce that they will be selling an autographed bass guitar signed by all three members of the band RUSH. All of the funds from the sale of the autographed guitar will benefit The Fender Music Foundation, a national music charity.
The black Fender® Geddy Lee Jazz Bass® is listed for sale on Reverb.com through January 28, 2013, and will be on display at the Fender Music Foundation table within the private NAMM Show in Anaheim. Once the bass is sold, Escrow.com will waive all fees to the winner and the Foundation as the funds are paid through Escrow.com's escrow system.
Andrew K. Sokol, General Manager of Emerging Markets at Escrow.com, also sits on the Board of The Fender Music Foundation as the Chairman of the Grants Committee. "I've been involved with the Foundation for many years and obtaining support from corporate entities is paramount to our success in providing musical instruments to music education programs across the country," said Sokol.
Escrow.com's services are available worldwide and eliminate risk for manufacturers, for non-payment, and retailers, for non-delivery or misrepresentation of goods. When using the service, both parties agree to the terms online and the retailer sends the agreed-upon funds to Escrow.com. The company then verifies the payment and instructs the manufacturer to ship the goods. Upon delivery, the retailer has a pre-determined amount of time to inspect and accept the goods. Once accepted, the funds are released by Escrow.com to the manufacturer. The cost of using Escrow.com is extremely reasonable in comparison to other payment options and can either be paid in full by one party or split evenly between the manufacturer and the retailer.
The Fender Music Foundation is a public 501c3 charity that provides musical instruments to programs across the nation. They select grant recipients based on the sustainability and success of their music programs that give more people the opportunity to make music. The Fender Music Foundation offers operates from funds received through sales, including transactions on their online store where the public can purchase authentic celebrity music memorabilia.
Reverb.com is also stepping up their participation by agreeing to donate an additional 10% of the sales price to the Foundation. Reverb.com, created by the Chicago Music Exchange, leads the industry on the buying and selling of vintage and used instruments.
NAMM attendees can view the guitar at The Fender Music Foundation table within Fender's NAMM booth, #300, at the Anaheim Convention Center. This annual, trade-only music product trade show supports the $17 billion global music products industry.

Grains of Paradise (Melegueta Pepper from Africa)
Published 1 year ago and updated on 21st April 2018 10 Comments
Grains of Paradise, Melegueta pepper
Grains of Paradise, are the seeds of Aframomum melegueta, a perennial plant native to West Africa. The seeds are contained within small, longish pods that develop from trumpet shaped flowers.
Unlike black peppercorns, grains of paradise are just a touch spicy, so they make a great alternative if you have someone who can't stand heat but wants flavour, like my mother in law! There is quite a strong floral aroma as you bite into it, with traces of clove and cardamom. Quite a complex pepper.
Some people say they can detect coconut, but for the life of me, I can't. The glossy brown seeds have a pretty hard outer covering, and aren't the easiest to grind in a mill, so I just tend to pound them with a pestle and mortar. As you can see in the image above, when pounded, they are a very light colour on the inside.
In terms of aroma and flavour, once crushed, they remind me of the Ethiopian cardamom, Aframomum corrorima or korarima, image below. The Ethiopian cardamom is an essential ingredient in making Doro Wot, that Ethiopian chicken stew.
Grains of paradise have been used in African cooking for centuries, and apparently, in European cooking since around the 9th century. Wiki has a great write up on it, and rather than paraphrasing it, I shall quote an excerpt:
"Mentioned by Pliny as "African pepper" but subsequently forgotten in Europe, they were renamed "grains of paradise" and became a popular substitute for black pepper in Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Ménagier de Paris recommends it for improving wine that "smells stale". Through the Middle Ages and into the early modern period, the theory of the four humours governed theories about nourishment on the part of doctors, herbalists and druggists: in this context, John Russell characterized grains of paradise in The Boke of Nurture as hot and moist.
In 1469 King Afonso V of Portugal granted the monopoly of trade in the Gulf of Guinea to Lisbon merchant Fernão Gomes, including the exclusive trade of Aframomum melegueta, then called "malagueta" pepper – which was granted by 100,000 real-annually in exchange for exploring 100 miles of the coast of Africa a year for five years. After Christopher Columbus reached the New World in 1492 and brought the first samples of Capsicum frutescens, the name malagueta was then taken to the new chili "pepper". Malagueta, thanks to its low price, remained popular in Europe even after the Portuguese opened the direct maritime route to the Spice Islands around 1500."
How to Use Grains of Paradise
You can use it in place of black pepper, as mentioned above.
It is also fantastic as a spice flavouring in stews, curries, tagines, salad dressing, homemade liqueurs, and a a marinade or rub. Endless possibilities.
When I'm making a nondescript curry, stew or tagine, I add anything from a quarter to a full teaspoon in, for a slightly different mix of aromas and flavour. By nondescript, I mean, the add this, add that sort of dish, no actual name or recipe attached to it. That's not to say that I don't add it to "proper" recipes like:
Eurasian Corned Beef Stew
Hünkar Beğendi (The Sultan's Delight)
Mafe, Senegalese Peanut Stew
Fish Tagine with Potatoes
Salad Shirazi, Persian Salad
You will also find lots more ingredients, both common and exotic on the Ingredients page, here on LinsFood, like the following:
Advieh Persian Spice Mix
Homemade Pumpkin Spice
Maldive Fish, a Sri Lankan ingredient
Berbere, Ethiopian Spice
Persian Dried Lime, Limoo Omani

Cuisine: African
1 tsp grains of paradise or as called for in your recipe
Crush or pound them in a pestle and mortar. I find that they are best when coarsely ground.
Can be added to your recipe both as an ingredient when cooking, as well as to finish off, like you would use black pepper.

Has Portugal's win settled the Messi vs Ronaldo Debate once and for all?
02/11/2016 10/07/2018 Miscellaneous
A debate like this has never raged in the world of soccer since Pele was pit against Maradona— and has continued for decades, even when the two greatest living legends, Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo have surpassed them in every way.
Now the debate is: Is Lionel Messi the best soccer player to ever grace the soccer field in the modern era or does that mantle belong to Christiano Ronaldo? The debate has raged on for years now. There have been other players, who have been regarded as great sporting legends by one and all in the world of soccer such as Zidane, Pirlo, Maldini, Zanetti, Xavi, Iniesta and Terry but neither of them have been revered or have such a loyal following among global fans as the Messi and Ronaldo have.
A One Club Legend v A Serial Winner
Leo Messi and Ronaldo are different players to one another. They are different in both playing styles, soccer skills, physical attributes and career choices. While Messi was nurtured through the ranks of Barcelona's youth system and eventually into the first team, Ronaldo was a youth player at Sporting Lisbon. It was there that he caught the eye of the legendary United Coach Alex Ferguson who brought a young Ronaldo into the fold at Manchester United. Under the pupilage of Ferguson Ronaldo saw himself blossom and announce him as one of the greatest soccer players.
He won the Premier League multiple times while he was at Manchester United and even won the Champions League against Chelsea in Moscow. It was then that Ronaldo was crowned the best player in the world. The following year, Christiano lost his crown to a certain Leo Messi, who had started to blossom first under the watchful eyes of Frank Rijkard and later under Pep Guardiola. The little Argentine made his mark in domestic football making his team Barcelona one of the greatest sporting teams the world has ever seen.
Messi held the title of the best player for a while unchallenged, until Ronaldo now at Real Madrid, bitter rivals of Barcelona in the La Liga in Spain won the Champions League. Ronaldo would go onto to win the Champions League again the year after the next (this year).
Has International Success Ended the Greatest Debate?
Despite both the soccer superstars enjoying continued success in their domestic club teams, on the international stage where they were heading their countries' quest for glories wasn't quiet going according to expectations. Messi had led his team to three finals in the past three years and has failed to win any major tournament for Argentina. This came despite the fact, that the Argentina National team has been blessed with sporting talent such as Aguero, Higuain, etc.
On the other hand, Portugal led by their talismanic captain Ronaldo won the Euro's held in France this year. Despite leading an un-fancied Portugal team that was not expected to win the tournament by pundits, the triumph of Portugal captained by Ronaldo has added fuel to fire that Ronaldo has finally emerged victorious in his battle with Messi.
Fortunately for neutral observers with both of the Superstars refusing to call it quits on their careers at the moment, there is no clear winner of sorts and it seems only history will decide who the greatest player in the world was.
A Selection of Football (Soccer) Quotes
"I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve, not only to please the coach and the fans, but also to feel satisfied with myself. It is my conviction that here are no limits to learning, and that it can never stop, no matter what our age." ~ Cristiano Ronaldo
"A penalty is a cowardly way to score." ~ Pelé, Pele: The Autobiography
"Everything I know about morality and the obligations of men, I owe it to football (soccer)." ~ Albert Camus
"The thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football." ~ Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals
"Football is the ballet of the masses." ~ Dmitri Shostakovich
"The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does." ~ Phil Woosnam
"You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it." ~ Lionel Messi
Once he's on the run, Messi is unstoppable. He's the only player who can change direction at such a pace." ~ Frank Rijkaard
"If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way." ~ Pep Guardiola

Q: how to sort ArrayList by id and add to ArrayList ArrayList> I have mList2 with values. There are values with the same id. How can I get a List or ArrayList in which objects with the same id are grouped and add it to  ArrayList>?
List<ProfileActivity.DataPost> mList2 = list;
    List<List<ProfileActivity.DataPost>> output = new ArrayList<List<ProfileActivity.DataPost>>();
    List<ProfileActivity.DataPost> itemsAlreadyGrouped = new ArrayList<ProfileActivity.DataPost>();
    for (int i = 0; i < mList2.size(); i++) {
        List<ProfileActivity.DataPost> groupList = new ArrayList<ProfileActivity.DataPost>();
        boolean groupCandidateFound = false;
        if (!itemsAlreadyGrouped.contains(mList2.get(i))) {
            for (int j = 0; j < mList2.size(); j++) {
                if (mList2.get(i).getIds_post().equals(mList2.get(j).getIds_post())) {
                    groupList.add(mList2.get(i));
                    groupCandidateFound = true;
                }
            }
            if (groupCandidateFound) {
                itemsAlreadyGrouped.add(mList2.get(i));
            }
        }
        if (groupList.size() > 0) {
            output.add(groupList);
        }
    }

    //Let's test the logic
    for (List<ProfileActivity.DataPost> group : output) {
        System.out.println(group);
        Toast.makeText(context, group.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
    }

DataPost
data class DataPost(var text:String? = null, var photo:String? = null,
                     var type:String = "",
                     var ids_post:String = "", var position:String? = null)

A: Make your ProfileActivity.DataPost class implements Comparable<ProfileActivity.DataPost> interface, the implement the compareTo(ProfileActivity.DataPost o) method
@Override
public void compareTo(ProfileActivity.DataPost o){
    return getIds_post().compareTo(o.getIds_post());
}

Then just invoke Collections.sort(list)

Q: Shift value when only CTRL key is pressed? Create a VCL Forms application and in the main form's OnMouseDown event handler write:
procedure TForm2.FormMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  if Shift = [ssCtrl] then
    ShowMessage('CTRL pressed');
end;

Then run the app, press and hold the CTRL key down, with no other modifier keys, and then click on the form. No message is displayed. Why now?
So which value does Shift have in this case when only the CTRL key is pressed?

A: The TShiftState type is defined like this:
type
  TShiftState = set of (ssShift, ssAlt, ssCtrl, ssLeft, ssRight, ssMiddle, ssDouble,
    ssTouch, ssPen, ssCommand, ssHorizontal);

As you can see, is contains a lot more information than just the modifier key state.
When you hold down the CTRL key and click on the form, Shift has this value: [ssCtrl,ssLeft]. That tells you that the CTRL key is down, and the left mouse button is down. Note that this information is easy to obtain by using the debugger. Learning how to use the debugging to inspect the state of your program during execution is a very important skill.
If you wish to test for the state of the modifier keys, you need to mask out everything that is not a modifier key. Do that using the * operator, which is set intersection. This allows you to cut the information down to just the enumeration values of interest.
if Shift*[ssShift, ssAlt, ssCtrl] = [ssCtrl] then
  ....

A: TShiftState is an enum set, meaning there could be more than one value. When you do if Shift = [ssCtrl] you are checking if it's exactly equal to that. But, there may be other values.
So instead, do this:
if ssCtrl in Shift then
  ...

Migrastick - How does it work?
MIGRASTICK applied to the skin has a cooling effect caused by evaporation of the essential oils.
Already in 460-337 BC Hippocrates described the use of ice and snow packs before surgery.
It's a classical, worldwide and effective habit to locally apply ice cubes or cold packs on the hurting body zone for some time in order to alleviate the pain. Therefore external cooling or so called "cold therapy" is an traditional well known alternative to manage pain.
Such relieving pain effects on migraine & headaches have been demonstrated by scientists for a long time (Diamond S. and Freitag F. (1986).
Acupressure is related to acupuncture. It has been shown by scientists that it's an effective therapy that helps reduce headache pain [Howard D., 1976; Hu J.,1998; Brust H. (1998); Kevan R. et al., 1997. Acupressure involves the application of pressure to certain areas of the body and results in the relaxation of fibres which affect the nerves that begin at the point pressed.
The practice of acupressure is based on a theory of meridians by which "energy" flow through the body. There are 12 main meridians, six of which are yin and six are yang. Should blockages occur along the meridian system, pain or other problems may result.
For instance, headaches are caused by energy blockage at the base of the skull and in the forehead and temples. Acupressure facilitates unblocking obstructed energy flow [Mercati M., 1998].
For headaches, several points can be pressed to relax the muscles of the head and neck. These are the "Feng Chih", on the neck at the base of the skull (main point for treatment of migraine and histamine cephalgia headaches), and the "Tai Yang", on the side of the face near the temples (main point for treatment of tension headaches).
Even individuals who know nothing about acupressure often instinctively massage these areas when they have a severe headache.

COPD is among the leading causes of death in industrialized countries, and new pharmacological treatments are being developed to help patients with this disease. But a spectrum of non-pharmacological ways of treating COPD are also available and important, ranging from actions a patient could take or oxygen use to a lung transplant. Here is a list of some of these options.
Quitting smoking is the most essential first step that COPD patients are advised to take. Smoking is among the leading risk factors for developing COPD, and it is known to worsen disease morbidity and accelerate airflow obstruction.
Options to help people "kick the habit" include nicotine replacement therapies — such as patches, gums, lozenges and sprays — and medications, including bupropion, varenicline and cytisine. More information on stopping tobacco smoking is available on the smokefree.gov website.
COPD management demands a close doctor-patient relationship, working together to discuss a patient's interests and abilities in managing the disease, and in setting therapeutic goals. These plans typically involve multidisciplinary healthcare teams, and require patient education on such issues as treating disease flares, handling follow-up, and a support system for follow-up care and health checks. Usually, there are four parts to an effective management program: patient self-management, streamlining access to healthcare, decision support, and covering categories of clinical information. Supported by regular phone calls or other contact to ensure that necessary medications and the like are adhered to, individualized management plans can result in better quality of life and fewer COPD-related hospitalizations.
Telemedicine, an electronic platform to connect patients with healthcare specialists, can be of use in these action plans.
Long-term oxygen therapy is often defined as oxygen use for at least 15 hours a day. It is commonly given to COPD patients with low-blood oxygen levels to improve breathing difficulties, exercise tolerance, and survival.
Two studies, involving about 300 people with COPD and very low concentrations of oxygen in the bloodstream, showed that long-term oxygen therapy was of benefit. The first, a Phase 3 study called the Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy Trial or NOTT (NCT00000564), included 203 COPD patients at six U.S. centers and compared the effects of 12 hours of nocturnal oxygen therapy — thought to be easier on patients — with continuous low-flow oxygen therapy in terms of mortality rates, lung function, and exercise capacity after 12 months. The treatment groups were "not well-matched," researchers found, and the study's results possibly less than conclusive. In general, continuous oxygen therapy was found to have a lower mortality rate and lead to better improvement in lung function than nocturnal oxygen therapy. A correlation was also found between the first six month of long-term oxygen therapy and improved pulmonary artery pressure, and with survival at an eight-year follow-up.
The other, a UK Medical Research Council domiciliary oxygen study, included 87 patients with severe COPD given 15 hours of daily oxygen therapy, or no oxygen therapy, and followed for five years. Improved survival was seen in the treated patient group at five years.
According to the British Thoracic Society guidelines for home oxygen use in adults, subsequent studies have also shown a survival benefit with long-term oxygen use (15 hours daily) in COPD patients with chronic low-blood oxygen levels, but not in those with moderate hypoxemia.
Treatment of COPD with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is effective in acute flares, in helping in pulmonary rehabilitation, and in managing high levels of carbon dioxide. According to the GOLD Guidelines, the use of NIV is preferred over intubation and positive pressure ventilation as a first ventilation treatment of respiratory failure in acute flares of COPD. Studies show a success rate of 80–85%, with NIV improving oxygenation and decreasing carbon dioxide levels, as well s slowing the respiratory rate and easing severity of breathlessness. It also helps to avoid such complications such as pneumonia, related to ventilator use and length of hospital stay.
A common COPD condition is emphysema, which destroys the bronchi walls, creating less and larger bronchi instead of many tiny ones, reducing the amount of gas exchanged in the lungs and leaving large spaces filled with air even upon exhalation. The GOLD Guidelines recommend that lung volume reduction surgery be considered in patients with severe breathlessness and enlarged lungs, where emphysema has diminished the ability of non-affected lung areas to work well. The goal of lung volume reduction surgery is to remove the least functional parts of the lungs to improve airflow, gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and create more room for lung mechanics in its remaining portions.
Lung transplants have been used to treat people with COPD for decades, with the first lung transplant performed in a cancer patient in 1963. But it was not until the 2000s, with better surgical techniques and immunosuppressives, that this option has come more into practice for people with severe disease. A lung transplant is a therapeutic option for end-stage COPD patients with the capacity to undergo rehabilitation, and survival rates are now 89% at one-year post-transplant and 50% at five years. A transplant is usually only considered after all other treatments options have failed, and then only if professionals think the procedure will benefit the patient. Lung transplants are a limited option because of a shortage of donor organs and the risk of complications, such as organ rejection and severe infections. COPD patients who continue to smoke are generally not candidates for lung transplants.
