Most web mail systems have a button a user can push to mark a message as junk, and report it back to their mail host. How would one add a similar junk button (JB) to a regular MUA? For the purposes of this discussion, the goal is to report the message back to the user's own mail system. They might further report it to the place the message came from, but that's a separate discussion. Also out of scope are other ways in which administrators respond to such reports, however it's worth noting that any response mechanism should be robust to false reports, whether they're malicious or accidental.
Any scheme requires an upgrade or at least a plugin to the MUA. Different schemes require different amounts of changes to mail delivery and retrieval software.
Existing webmail all has a single junk button, or (gmail) one button that pops up 'do you want to unsub?' if the message looks like it's from a list.
Some people suggest multiple options, e.g., junk, unsub, don't want any more, etc. Examples cited include Twitter's use of "block" and "report for abuse". The difference is presumed to be the type of action that is requested. Note also that the labels will be language, and perhaps application specific.
ARF has many of these options, but as far as we can tell the only ones ever used are junk (which it calls abuse) and virus, which scripts can identify automatically from EXE and ZIP signatures.
The two general approaches seem to be to send it back via the path it by which it was retrieved by the MUA, typically POP or IMAP, or to use a separate path, such as SMTP or SUBMIT. A Consensus Call has had 10 posts for normal posting           , 2 for specific to the mechanism for retrieving the message   , and 1 ambivalent .
Most but not all MUAs retrieve mail with IMAP or POP.
Overall pro: Reports are secure, since they're returned directly to the mail system. Configuration is likely to be automatic.
Overall con: Requires changes to multiple protocols and to server software. Changes to POP are severe.
Add an IMAP Junk flag that the MUA can set, or a message annotation.
Pro: Easy to implement with IMAP. Self-configuring with IMAP, MUA can tell automatically if JB is available. Relatively secure since client has already logged in to server.
Con: Requires changes to protocol and to server software.
Move messages to a specific subfolder such as Spam.
Pro: Already implemented at AOL and in dovecot-antispam, requires no protocol changes. Relatively secure since client has already logged in to server.
Con: Requires IMAP server (or back end at least) changes, adds a reserved folder name. Arguably better to annotate the folder (IMAP METADATA extension required) than to reserve a name, since the name may be language specific. Overloads the "junk" folder, which is a place where filters automatically place suspected junk.
Add a command like XTND JUNK that the MUA can use to send a message back to the server.
Modify the protocol so that UIDLs or message numbers persist beyond message deletion, and add a command to report the UIDL or session ID number.
Pro: Self-configuring, MUA can tell automatically if JB is available. Relatively secure since client has already logged in to server.
Con: Requires changes to protocol and server. XTND JUNK requires servers to accept arbitrarily large uploads, which they don't now. UIDL or ID report requires server to store potentially large amounts of additional mail.
Some MUAs read mailstore directly, or receive via UUCP or SMTP. Users would be out of luck.
The MUA could build an ARF report from the reported message and send that report back to the server.
Overall pro: Server need not retain messages for potential report. Once configured, reporting system is independent of inbound path or server, not dependent on POP or IMAP.
Overall con: Less secure than returning directly to incoming server. Reports are larger compared to an IMAP flag change or POP UIDL report.
The MUA sends the ARF report to a reporting address at the mail system using standard SUBMIT or SMTP. Configuration only needs the target address.
Pro: MUAs already know how to create and send MIME messages, leverage existing software, simple configuration.
Con: SUBMIT or SMTP server might not be under the same management as inbound server, possibly leading to third party snooping or message loss. If systems accept reports other than from their own SUBMIT server, forged reports and DoS are possible.
The MUA uploads the ARF report using HTTP PUT or POST. Besides the URL, configuration may also need user/password for authentication.
Con: Requires an HTTP server to accept reports, and an HTTP client in the MUA to do a PUT or POST. These may challenges.
The MUA needs to know both whether a message can be reported as junk, and how to report it. We seem to agree that automatic configuration is better than manual.
At delivery time, the MDA adds a header that indicates that a JB is available, with configuration parameters such as the address to which to mail an ARF report. A likely candidate for the header would be an extended version of the Authentication-Results header.
Pro: No changes to retrieval protocol, independent of retrieval protocol. Can put different flags on different messages. Can potentially remain useful across forwarding or mail systems that consolidate mail by POP retrieval from others.
Con: Requires changes to MDA. Bad guys could add headers to hijack reports, or do low-level DoS against third parties. Doesn't work well with IMAP junk flag, POP UIDL report, etc.
Since the MUA already knows how to find a POP or IMAP server, it can find the JB configuration directly or indirectly from that server.
The POP CAPA command and IMAP CAPABILITY command allow MUAs to query what a server can do. For schemes that report directly to the retrieval server, the MUA can see if the reporting command(s) are available. For schemes that return the report via a different path, a simple command could return configuration info.
Pro: Secure since MUA already logs into server, protocol and server changes are relatively simple. Config can be per-account, which might be useful for servers that handle multiple resellers.
Con; Still requires protocol and server changes.
Note that this record syntax is being considered for use by the mail host to send the report back to the relevant source.
Pro: No changes to MDA, retrieval protocol or software. Easy to configure in MUAs that can make DNS queries (most of them, presumably).
Con: New requirement to manage host names that refer to POP or IMAP server. Servers may have multiple names (thousands in some cases) via CNAME or multiple A records requiring a lot of DNS maintenance for any change. Servers may be accessed via tunnels or proxies that don't provide the server name. All users of the same server get the same metadata, unless they refer to it by different names in which case maybe they don't.
If a server has many CNAMEs pointing at one A record, a variant would be for the MUA to resolve all the CNAMEs and look for the metadata near the name of the A record, e.g.
Pro: Addresses multiple CNAME problem.
Con: Only partial solution, doesn't address multiple A, tunnel, etc. Unusual DNS usage may be hard to implement or have subtle problems evident to DNS weeenies.

Kim Cesare Went from size 16 to 4 with only 15 minutes of T-Tapp exercises a day.
A case of dangerously high blood pressure and fear of a blood clot motivated Kim Cesare to make a complete lifestyle change and get active.
On January 20, 2014, Ms. Cesare's doctor told her that her blood pressure was spiked at 159/113.
That was the day 50-year-old mother of six decided to change her life.
Although she was given blood pressure medicine she knew she had to make a life style change to be able to care for her children.
First she changed her eating habits, giving up fast foods, fried foods and cutting out white bread. Then she searched the internet for an exercise program she could do at home in 15 minutes a day.
Kim found T-Tapp on line and ordered the book, Fit and Fabulous by Teresa Tapp www.T-Tapp.com and purchased the DVD T-Tapp total workout which had a 15-minute special exercise program to do at home, with no equipment.
By October Kim had gone from size 16 to size 4.
In January of 2015 when she went for her yearly physical she was actually looking forward to the visit.
"I wasn't dreading the scale and the blood pressure cuff didn't scare me," she says.
Her EKG reading showed a marked improvement in her athleticism.
"The doctor told me the reading showed 'marked sinus bradycardia' or low resting heart rate, which she explains shows I have a conditioned athletic heart. She was very pleased. I was stunned. This quick workout of stretching and bending has made my muscles stronger including my heart," Mrs. Cesare says.
These exercises have a special form and techniques that maximize muscle development, enabling your body to shed inches in record time. It is also a left-brain, mind/body workout, so expect improved clarity since each side of the brain controls the other side of the body. It results in rapid release of neurotransmitters which increases mental alertness and uses more energy and thus burns more fat with increased mental clarity.
According to Ms. Cesare, doing T-Tapp exercise resulted in losing 6 sizes and helped her regained her health.

General liability, also known as "commercial liability insurance" is a broad commercial insurance policy that covers general liability exposures of a business. The Armstrong Company Insurance Consultants recommends that all businesses have general liability coverage in place.
D&O is a type of liability insurance covering directors and officers for claims made against them while serving on a board of directors and/or as an officer. This type of insurance covers claims allegedly committed by directors and officers to be vicariously responsible for a wrongful act in their capacity as a director or officer. D&O liability insurance can be written to cover the directors and officers of for-profit businesses, privately held firms, not-for-profit organizations, and educational institutions. There is a variety of Directors and Officers coverage available such as corporate reimbursement coverage, personal liability, and entity coverage. D&O policies may be broadened to include coverage for employment practices liability as well.
This type of insurance is typically purchased by automobile dealerships and repair shops. It covers property damage and bodily injury resulting from the operations of an auto garage. It includes the ownership, maintenance or use of covered autos and all operations "necessary or incidental" to a garage business.
Garagekeepers coverage provides protection for damage to customer vehicles due to the insured's legal liability. This additional coverage is needed because of the "care, custody or control" exclusion in the liability section of the standard commercial general liability policy. This form of insurance is similar to bailee's insurance.

"Hats" Helps Open Doors to Future Health Careers
By Cassandra Sura
When Reginald "Hats" Adams, director of community affairs, joined Rush 45 years ago, diversity wasn't a common term, and making an effort to maintain a culture of inclusion where everyone has equal access to opportunities was not a performance goal for all employees, as it is today. Nonetheless, Adams strived to promote diversity through his work and in his life, not because it was required, but simply because he felt it was the right thing to do.
In the 1980s, Adams saw there was a disparity in the science and math education that children were receiving in some areas of Chicago, including West Side neighborhoods around Rush. Since science and math are the core tenets of careers in health care, kids with limited education and exposure to those subjects have less of an opportunity to choose a health care profession. Working with the leadership at Rush, Adams initiated the Science and Math Education (SAME) Network, which engages children in these subjects at a young age by providing schools with training and equipment to improve how they teach science and math.
"He wanted to fill a void in the education of young people and prepare them for careers in the areas of math, science, technology and health care," says Paula Brown, manager of Equal Opportunity Programs at Rush.
With the support of Rush leadership and his staff, Adams led the charge, obtaining grants from companies to build science labs in schools, providing mentoring to teachers, developing after-school programs and forming science and math clubs.
Adams reflects on the program, saying, "In 1990, we built our first science lab in an elementary school. One of the results was that kids were getting to school earlier and were enjoying learning. In time, more kids from the West Side began to be able to participate in regional science fairs."
Today, the SAME Network includes 45 elementary schools, six high schools, 14 churches and local businesses. Elida Bader, RN, received a nursing scholarship through the SAME Network and has been working in nursing at ever since.
"I hadn't considered nursing as a profession until I heard about the scholarship and the opportunity to work in the nursing units during summer breaks from school to learn more about it," Bader says. "I ended up graduating from Rush's nursing program and have been in various nursing roles here for the past 20 years."
In his 45 years at Rush, Adams has led many initiatives, in addition to the SAME Network, that have been influential in reducing disparities in Rush's surrounding community. His work was honored in February, when he received the annual J. Robert Clapp, Jr. Diversity Leadership Award as part of annual Diversity Week events.
The Clapp award is named for late executive vice president and executive director of University Hospitals, who died last August. Clapp also was chair of the Diversity Leadership Council, which sponsors Diversity Week. The award honors members of the community who have made important contributions to furthering Rush's progress toward its mission of enhancing excellence in patient care, education, research and community service for the diverse communities of the Chicago area.
Adams credited his staff and the leaders at Rush for the success of the SAME program and other initiatives. "There is a special place in my house for this award," he said.

Ford Files Restated Results
The accounting revisions concerned interest-rate swaps.
Stephen TaubNovember 14, 2006
Ford Motor restated its results for the past five years to correct accounting for derivative transactions at its Ford Motor Credit arm. The revisions boosted net income by a total of over $800 million for the period.
The change in accounting concerned interest-rate swaps, which the company asserted did not affect the economics of the derivative transactions involved, nor did it have any effect on Ford Motor Credit's cash.
The revisions boosted 2002 net income by nearly $1.8 billion and 2001 earnings by $656 million. The restatement cut 2005 earnings by $588 million, 2004 earnings by $444 million, and 2003 results by $592 million. Ford filed its revised earnings five days late, albeit within the allowable extension time.
Ford reported that it restated its results after discovering that a number of interest rate swaps that the company had entered into didn't satisfy the requirements of a provision of SFAS 133, that Financial Accounting Standards Board stricture that would have exempted the swaps from periodic assessments of their effectiveness.
The automaker noted SFAS 133 states that hedge accounting is appropriate only for those hedging relationships that a company expects will be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged.
Although the swaps are "highly effective" economic hedges, nearly all the swaps failed to meet certain exemption requirements, according to Ford. "SFAS 133 precludes the company from retroactively testing the effectiveness of these transactions in order to continue to apply hedge accounting," the company added.
As a result, the restatement reflects changes in the fair value of the swaps as derivative gains and losses during the affected periods. At the same time, the company didn't record any offsetting change in the value of the debt they were hedging. "We have fully remediated the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to SFAS 133," said K.R. Kent, vice chairman and CFO.

bilacon LLC supports the food industry with LC-MS/MS method
"Continuing to market fruit and veg safely in compliance with the new MRLs"
On 04.06.2020, the European Commission published Regulation (EU) 2020/749 amending Annex III of Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005. According to this regulation, new maximum residue levels for chlorate and perchlorate in foodstuffs will apply from 28.06.2020, without any transitional arrangements. International laboratory group bilacon will assist the fruit and vegetable industry bilacon in complying with the new maximum levels.
In the annex of the regulation (EU) 2020/749 the binding maximum residue levels for the individual product groups are defined. For example, the following maximum residue levels apply:
- citrus fruit, pome fruit, stone fruit: 0.05 mg/kg chlorate
- nuts: 0,1 mg/kg chlorate
- garlic, cultivated and wild mushrooms: 0,7 mg/kg chlorate
- pulses: 0,35 mg/kg chlorate
- spices: 0,07 mg/kg chlorate
In addition, on 20 May 2020 the European Commission published Regulation (EU) 2020/685 amending Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 as regards maximum levels for perchlorate in foodstuffs, which came into force on 1 July 2020. The transitional regulation applies that food which is put into circulation before 01.07.2020 may be sold until its best-before or consumption date. A maximum residue level of 0.05 mg/kg perchlorate applies to fruit and vegetables.
bilacon has been a member of the globally active Tentamus Group since 2011. In the picture: The international representation of the company at this year's Fruit Logistica.
LC-MS/MS method
bilacon supports all stages of the value chain in complying with the new maximum levels for chlorate and perchlorate. "The aim is to ensure that the products can continue to be marketed safely in compliance with the new regulations. Using the LC-MS/MS method, we are able to provide our customers with fast and reliable analytical results. The very sensitive LC-MS/MS method (liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry) is a modern analytical method for the identification of trace substances in food, e.g. mycotoxins, veterinary drugs or pesticide residues. With competence centres for polar pesticides in Rotterdam and Berlin, bilacon can also react flexibly to the needs of the industry," the management explains.

Alabama Football
Alabama freshman already one of team's stronger players
Published: Aug. 06, 2015, 12:07 p.m.
Daron Payne
(Bill Smith)
Bill Smith talked to several Alabama coaches at a recruiting camp this summer.
Each said the same thing about freshman defensive tackle Daron Payne, a former star under Smith at Shades Valley High School in Birmingham who had recently arrived on campus at Alabama.
"The coaches -- coach Davis, coach Cristobal, who recruited him, coach Cochran and coach Smart -- they were all bragging that he was ahead of schedule [physically]," Smith told AL.com.
After enrolling at Alabama just two months ago, Payne -- whom Rivals ranked as a five-star recruit and the 19th-best overall prospect in this year's recruiting class -- is already one of the stronger players on the Tide's team.
Payne's weight is significantly down from what it was as recently as the spring. His already advanced strength is up.
The 6-foot-3 Payne, who is down to 315 pounds from 340 during the spring, told Smith that he bench-pressed 500 pounds last week after recently recording a 345-pound power clean.
Only five Alabama players remaining on the team bench-pressed 500 pounds during the Tide's spring testing. The 345-pound power clean would have been tied with running back Derrick Henry for second-best on the team during the spring behind only since-dismissed defensive tackle Jonathan Taylor.
Videos on YouTube show Payne bench-pressing 445 and 460 pounds last spring heading into his senior season at Shades Valley.
Payne did 25 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press while in high school.
Unable to bench press 300 pounds at the beginning of his freshman year while weighing around 250-260 pounds, Payne grew to 300 pounds by his sophomore year.
His bench press max was up to 400 pounds by that same point.
The weight and strength numbers continued to grow from there.
As much as 350 pounds at Shades Valley, Payne feels losing weight while adding strength will help him compete for early playing time with the Tide, Smith said.
"He's excited to be down to around 315," Smith said. "He feels like he's moving a lot better. He feels quicker."
At 345 pounds, Payne ran the 40-yard dash in 5.0 seconds at a Mississippi State camp while in high school, Smith said, a terrific time for a player that size.
Payne has not been tested in the 40-yard dash since getting to Alabama and dropping down to 315.
"Even at 345, Daron was never fat," Smith said. "He wasn't globby fat at 345. But we really felt like he would be a lot quicker, he would be a four down player at 320. ...
"I really feel like [the weight loss] is going to enable him to hopefully compete this year for playing time at a very stacked position, the defensive line. I also think it will give Alabama some options, where he's not confined to being a two-gap nose guard."

For Faster Education Progress, We Need to Know What Kids Know
We need an international assessment that will pinpoint educational challenges by providing consistent information on the status of all youth, not just those who have somehow stayed in formal schooling into adolescence.

This page tells you about some short courses and workshops available to be taught as evening or daytime classes. We can also put together tailor-made courses / series of short workshops from any elements that we offer in our range of courses and workshops, for those who have specific gaps in their knowledge that they wish to fill, or who have very specific requirements. We are also happy to run classes for your centre or group, or provide one-to-one private teaching and tutorials for those who wish to study any of these subjects in depth or in a concentrated block, or expand their existing knowledge base with post-graduate study. Contact us for a chat!
Introduction to Healing with Crystals is aimed at the absolute beginner, or those who may have just started to use crystals, but want to know more about them. The 6 session course starts from scratch, and by the end of the course should enable you to perform a very basic crystal healing session for yourself, family or friends. It will also encourage you to become aware of subtle energies, and will aim to help you become more confident about working with your intuition, and with using a crystal pendulum. It will include basic information about colour, the chakras and auric bodies as well as how to select and look after healing crystals. It is for anyone who is drawn to picking up crystals and wants to know how to start to work and interact with them safely and wisely.
Working with Crystals and the Chakras is aimed at those who already know the correct methods of looking after crystals, and who have started to work with them with confidence. You will also need to understand the basic concept of the aura, the chakras and the subtle body systems, and be able to work with a dowsing pendulum. The 8 session course will provide in-depth information about the 7 major chakras, and show how to work with them in a healing situation using crystals and crystal templates. It is a useful follow on to the introductory course (below) but attendance on that course is not a requirement if you have the skills outlined above. This course may well also interest those who have already acquired a basic working knowledge of crystals and who work in other fields of "energy work" where a deeper understanding of the chakras is useful.
Many Faces of Quartz is aimed at those who are comfortable working with quartz in both healing and self-development situations. The 6 session course will explore many types and forms of the wonderful quartz family from all around the world and show how to recognise these on a practical and energetic level, encouraging intuitive recognition and exploration. If you have some "psychic" skills and want to develop these in interaction with crystals, then this course may appeal to you. It is not necessary to have attended the other two courses shown above, but it is rather "specialised" as not everyone will have the interest or abilities that will be appropriate for the course. It is much more for personal development / information gathering rather than for using directly in a healing situation.
Introducing the Elementals will offer a short 4 session introductory course using unique crystal grids channelled to Mark and will include guided visualisations and journeying within as well as linking with elemental energy using directed crystal energy grids. It will introduce you, via the Directors of the Elementals, to the delightful Beings who work with the elements of earth, air, fire and water - the gnomes, sylphs, salamanders and undines. They have a great deal to teach us and much support to offer us in our daily lives, as well as being there for input, help and guidance in our work to help heal and balance all of the natural elements in, upon and surrounding our planet, Earth.
The cost of each course depends on its length, but our usual rates are £40 per person per half-day or evening session; £70 per full day. We provide handouts and all materials needed, and refreshments if we are hosting the workshop / course.

NFL Free Agency 2021: Genius moves and headscratchers from day one
Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots were big spenders when 2021 free agency unofficially kicked off on Monday. The NFL's legal tampering period prompted a slew of signings, seven of them by the cap-rich Pats.
Despite high price, Jonnu Smith is the perfect signing for the Patriots
March 15, 2021 Matthew Bowen 0

Patriots lead group of teams who should pursue Justin Simmons in free agency
Ones that can play the pass well and be relied upon to secure tackles are even more treasured, and there's no doubt that impending free agent safety Justin Simmons will be handsomely compensated checking those boxes.
Three ideal teams for Chris Godwin in free agency
Winning a Super Bowl had to feel extremely sweet for Godwin, but as if that wasn't enough, he's about to hit free agency at the tender age of 25.
Sean McVay showed everyone how to beat a Bill Belichick defense

Three teams that should trade for Minnesota Vikings star Stefon Diggs
October 3, 2019 Matthew Bowen 1
In the NFL, more often than not, when it rains - it pours. This is true for the Minnesota Vikings who currently boast the league's best rushing attack but the same can't be said for the team's air attack. Kirk Cousins struggles have continued through to this season which has caused a huge amount of frustration for Vikings fans and Viking players alike. More specifically the Vikings dynamic receiving duo of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

Co. Wicklow: Aghold, Ballingate, Ballinglen, Ballybeg, Carnew (2), Coolballintaggart, Coolboy, Coollattin, Cronolea, Kilballyowen, Killimere, Kilpipe, Munny, Rath, Shillelagh, Tineheley (2).
Co. Carlow: Clonegal (2), Clonmore (2), Hacketstown (2).
The Board also included 8 ex-officio Guardians, making a total of 32. The Guardians met each week at 1pm on Friday.
The population falling within the Union at the 1831 census had been 31,596 with divisions ranging in size from Munny (population 828) to Hacketstown (3,719).
The new Shillelagh union workhouse was erected in 1840-1 on a six-acre site half a mile to the south-west of Shillelagh. Designed by the Poor Law Commissioners' architect George Wilkinson, the building was based on one of his standard plans to accommodate 400 inmates. Its construction cost £5,300 plus £1,000 for fittings etc. The workhouse was declared fit for the reception of paupers on 21st December 1841, and received its first admissions on 18th February 1842.
A small block, possibly just an entrance lodge, stood at the north of the site. The main buildings followed Wilkinson's standard layout. An accommodation block facing to the east contained the Master's quarters at the centre, with male and female wings to each side. At the rear, utility rooms such as bakehouse and washhouse were connected through to the infirmary via a central spine containing the chapel and dining-hall.
During the famine in the mid-1840s, idiot wards already under construction were raised a storey to accommodate an additional 40 inmates. A fever hospital was also erected at the south of the workhouse.
In June 1920, the workhouse fever hospital was taken over for military use.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tighten the belt and avoid overspending. Deliberate attempts to shock or amuse might elicit unpleasant results. People in your immediate circle may be briefly be in a suspicious mood and question your motives.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sit out this dance. New relationships could become overly possessive or extremely expensive to maintain. A brief period of cosmic turbulence makes this a poor day to start key projects or make key decisions.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Heavy thoughts require a light touch. When those close seem loaded down with worries you have a knack for lightening the atmosphere with creative whimsy and fun. Be prepared to work closely with details.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Acknowledge the difference between possessiveness and enduring love. On some plane of existence a fight may occur when you try to "have and to hold," but true love is kind and holds with an open hand.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Learn a lesson from George Washington and his attitude on honesty. If you chop down a cherry tree be sure to admit it. Although the tale about the first president may be mere folklore the story contains some helpful wisdom.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Show a special someone you care by being especially sympathetic and understanding. Don't ask for a promise or a pledge unless you are willing to devote energy into fulfilling your end of the bargain precisely.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get a handle on your suspicions and don't look for trouble where none exists. Rein in your impulse to pursue new amorous partners. You may be tempted to make lavish and large expenditures to impress family members.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Gather creative ideas for future use. You and a loved one may champion opposite sides if a major purchase is on the table. You may prefer to be cautious about expenditures while a loved one wants to spend lavishly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be led astray all day. Putting vital matters into motion is like building a house of cards on a wobbly table. A lack of stability can topple and destroy all your plans. Don't start anything important.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be the ringmaster but it is time to step out of the three ring circus. You may be less ambitious than usual but this gives you time to relax and unwind. Family gatherings may be worthy of your full attention.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Hang up your spurs. Urging someone on could prompt a runaway situation. Don't gamble on starting a new relationship or give in shopping whims. It is time to be patient because things will shift in a few days.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may not be discreet if an amorous outing is on your calendar. People will notice your every move so be sure to guard against impropriety. Your mind may be on business or finances but ideas must be out on hold.

Q: sbrk and malloc in c I have following code
#include<stdio.h>
int main () {
        void *result[20];
        void *endptr;
        void *x;
        for (i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
                result[i] = malloc(10);
                printf("111 : %d\n",result[i]);
        }
        endptr= sbrk(0);
        printf("\n222 : %d\n",endptr);
        x = malloc(60); ----------- error
        return 0;
}

I want to print numeric value of all the void pointers and the count how many times sbrk function called form malloc?
If I print *endptr in printf statement it gives me error. Currently I think it prints address where memory is allocated. %x would just convert current value in hex and print right?
x = malloc(60) also gives error :  void value not ignored as it ought to be
How can I do that?
Thanks

A: sbrk(0) returns the current size of the "program break", which isn't actually a pointer, so dereferencing it will give an error.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sbrk
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/brk.html

A: The proper way to print data pointers in C using printf is this (there is no format for code pointers):
printf("%p", pointer);

That should output the pointer in the best format for the platform, and can be read back by scanf.
Using any other format specifier for pointers is explicitly Undefined Behavior, anything may happen.
Also, there is no guarantee malloc() uses legacy sbrk() at all. And even if it does, it might be able to use available free blocks instead of having to call it. Next, there is no guarantee sbrk() points to valid storage, so dereferencing it is undefined behavior.

Q: How do I find these two limits? I've tried everything! I just don't know how to do them.Tried De Moivres formulas , putting the complex number as $x+ yi$
$$1.)\lim_{n\to \infty}(1+\frac{z}{n})^n,z=x+yi  \\ 2.)\lim_{n\to \infty}n (\sqrt[n]{z}-1), $$

A: HINT: (first question answer, you can solve the second one)
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)^n=$$
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\exp\left(\ln\left(\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)^n\right)\right)=$$
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\exp\left(n\ln\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)\right)=$$
$$\exp\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}n\ln\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)\right)=$$
$$\exp\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\ln\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)}{\frac{1}{n}}\right)=$$
$$\exp\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}n}\left(\ln\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)\right)}{\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}n}\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}\right)=$$
$$\exp\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{-\frac{z}{n^2\left(1+\frac{z}{n}\right)}}{-\frac{1}{n^2}}\right)=$$
$$\exp\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{nz}{n+z}\right)=$$
$$\exp\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{z}{1+\frac{z}{n}}\right)=\exp\left(\frac{z}{1+0}\right)=\exp\left(\frac{z}{1}\right)=\exp\left(z\right)=e^z$$

A: Firstly, notice that complex number $x+iy$ can be written as
$$\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\left(\cos\left(\tan^{-1}\frac yx\right)+i\sin\left(\tan^{-1}\frac yx\right)\right)$$
For the first limit use facts that
$$(1+x)^{\frac1x}=e$$
at $x\to0$ and
$$e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x$$
Apply these facts
$$\begin{align}\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac zn\right)^n&=\lim_{n\to\infty}e^{\frac znn}\\&=e^{x+iy}\\&=e^x\cos y+ie^x\sin y\end{align}$$
For the second one use fact that
$$\frac{a^x-1}{x}=\ln a$$
at $x\to0$.
Write your limit as
$$\begin{align}\lim_{n\to\infty}n\left(\sqrt[n]z-1\right)&=\lim_{n\to0}\frac{z^n-1}{n}\\&=\ln z\\&=\ln\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+i\tan^{-1}\frac yx\end{align}$$


Jenna Bush Hager is sharing her very personal connection to World Polio Day.
The former first daughter is working with UNICEF and Rotary International to bring awareness to the event in a new PSA. She also opened up to PEOPLE about her father-in-law John Hager's father, who has been living in a wheelchair for 40 years after being diagnosed with the disease.
"We're so close — we're so close to eradicating polio, which is a major disease that has affected my family," she said.
My father-in-law, my husband's dad, John Hager, has lived with polio for the last four decades. He's been in a wheelchair for over 40 years. It's strong, and like so many that face obstacles in their daily life, he's overcome it in many ways. But at the same time, I've seen firsthand the devastating effects it has not only on the person but their families. And I just don't want any child to face what he's faced. So I'm really happy to be a part of this because now that I look at my little girls, everything is more meaningful — but I just can't even imagine being a mom, hearing the news that your child is going to be living the devastating effects of polio.
RELATED: These baseball hunks on "Ellen" have something to do with the World Series, but does that really matter?
I know about polio because of my father-in-law, but since 1988, the number of polio cases has been reduced by 99 percent. I know so much about it, yet I didn't necessarily know how close we are to eradicating it and just how important it is to really advocate to vaccinate your kids, to get the polio vaccine into areas everywhere.


DC Universe has released a few posters for Swamp Thing, which provide a new look at the titular character. You can check out the posters below, which were released to celebrate Earth Day over the weekend. The series will star Andy Bean as Alec Holland, Will Patton as Avery Sutherland Crystal Reed as Abby Arcane, Maria Sten as Liz Tremayne, Jeryl Prescott as Madame Xanadu, Jennifer Beals as Sheriff Lucilia Cable, Virginia Madsen as Maria Sunderland, Henderson Wade as Matt Cable, Kevin Durand as Jason Woodtrue/Floronic Man and Leonardo Nam as Harlan Edwards. Committing to the lead role of the titular monster is The Flash's Derek Mears.
Swamp Thing centers on CDC researcher Abby Arcane. When she returns to her childhood home of Houma, Louisiana, in order to investigate a deadly swamp-borne virus, she develops a surprising bond with scientist Alec Holland only to have him tragically taken from her. But as powerful forces descend on Houma, intent on exploiting the swamp's mysterious properties for their own purposes, Abby will discover that the swamp holds mystical secrets, both horrifying and wondrous and the potential love of her life may not be dead after all.
The series will still debut on DC Universe on May 31.

GCS Expands Professional Staff with Four New Hires
MISSOULA, Mont. – GCS, a geospatial solutions firm expanded its professional staff with four recent hires. The new personnel include a business development director, operations director and two solutions developers, one with a specialty in systems integration.
"GCS is growing, and our new personnel have the right combination of expertise, skills and ideas to engage our client base while also propelling GCS in new directions," says GCS Founder and President Alex Philp, PhD. "The GCS team is committed to developing innovative solutions that solve real-world business challenges."
Jennifer Ewan is the new GCS director of business development and legal counsel. An attorney, Ewan comes to GCS from the office of U.S. Senator Max Baucus, where she served as counsel and field director.
With a background in economic development and business management, Ryan Hansen is director of operations at GCS. In addition to his primary responsibilities handling strategic operations, Hansen will use his economic development expertise to cultivate the market for GCS Site Selector, a web application that enables state and local governments to attract new businesses and expand their commercial sectors.
Brian Collins is filling the newly-created systems integrator position in which he will specialize in bridging technology gaps for GCS clients. Collins previously consulted for GCS as a GIS analyst and worked in building automation controls, integrating a vast array of smart devices into seamless monitoring and control software based on the Tridium Niagara Framework.
Eric Estes comes to the GCS development group from Overwatch where he worked as a developer on that company's Feature Analyst and LiDAR Analyst software suites. A veteran of the U.S. Army, Estes' professional experience includes several programming and networking positions.
Additional hires are planned later this year, Philp says.

Fast, sharp and weather sealed, the brand new M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO is the ideal lens for any OM-D user looking to get the most out of their camera system. Featuring a constant aperture of f/2.8 and the worlds first Dual VCM autofocus system, it proved the perfect tool for 10 lucky shooters who got the opportunity to get hands on with the lens on our recently workshop at the Lake District Wildlife park, led by expert photographer and Olympus ambassador, Steve Gosling.
Built to a professional standard, being splash, dust and freeze proof, the 40-150mm PRO is robust enough to be used in the most demanding of environments, ideal for the predictably wet Lake District in December. Following introductions in the warmth of the café, plenty of coffee, and a run through of cameras and kit for the day, we decide to brave the weather, venture into the park, and put the lenses to the test.
Our first subjects for the day were the birds of prey during the morning display, which gave our photographers the chance to get used to the kit they were to be using for the workshop. Even in dull, overcast conditions the OM-Ds were more than up to the challenge, shooting at up to 10 frames per second, with the faster aperture and focussing of the 40-150mm proving handy for shots of birds in flight. Fast aperture prime lenses such as the M.Zuiko 75mm 1.8, and 45mm 1.8 were also extremely useful when we were given the opportunity to get closer to the birds, and capture detail shots.
Despite the difficult weather conditions, we were all able to get some great shots throughout the morning, looking at a range of subjects from energetic otters and meerkats, to a rather sulky looking Mandrill, hiding from the rain.
Over lunch, we were able to discuss kit and technique, comparing images and thoughts on the cameras and lenses so far. Having passed the torture test of performing flawlessly despite the rain and cold, we were all eager to try the lenses in a drier environment (unfortunately photographers are not quite so weather sealed).
Pulling out all the stops, our hosts at the wildlife park were able to put on an indoor owl show especially for our group, where we were able to get up close and personal with some of the beautiful birds. Fast apertures and high ISO's were key here, as was the OM-D's 5-axis image stabilisation system for the static subjects. The owls, not at all camera shy, posed perfectly as we snapped away, our photographers experimenting with a range of lenses, one of which obviously appealed to a particular owl, who decided a users 40-150mm PRO would be the perfect perch for his photo shoot.
As the light levels dropped, and the day drew to a close, we took to the café to dry off one last time and take final questions and answers for the day. With cameras collected, goodie bags handed out (complete with Christmas crackers and £50 cashback vouchers), and goodbyes exchanged, we all headed home, looking forward to next years set of workshops.

Smoke is a by-product of combustion. Smoke might contain any number of an incredible array of ingredients. The chemical composition of smoke, and its degree of toxicity, depends on many factors, such as the substance being burned, the temperature at which it is burning, and the availability of oxygen.
Many of the substances that can be found in smokes are toxic - and smoke inhalation is the commonest cause of death in indoor fires. Of course, some smokes are much more harmful than others - but even "ordinary" wood smoke, in use since ancient times, may be harmful. (source - http://erj.ersjournals.com/cgi/content/full/27/3/446 ) Some of the particles in smoke are visible to the eye, and some are not - and this depends largely on their particle size.
Depending on what is being burned, some examples of substances that might be found in smoke are:soot (carbon), nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), thiols, formaldehyde, ketones, carboxylic acids, halocarbons, terpenes, carbon monoxide, phosgenes and methoxy phenols. Doesn't sound much like a recipe you really want to ingest, does it?
However, combustion also produces gases - and an air purifier that has to deal with smoke not only needs to be able to trap very fine solid particles, but also gaseous substances. This is a reason why many air purifiers contain both HEPA and activated carbon filters.
Some common causes of smoke might be tobacco smoking, bonfires, wood or coal fires lit for the purpose of keeping warm, traffic fumes, wildfires, house fires and... burnt toast.
Image of a wildfire. It's crazy to think that often one tiny spark or flame might be all that is required to start something like this. It pays to be careful - especially in the dry season.

Joey Montagna: I Would Rather Play Football In Tasmania Than On The Gold Coast
On Dead Set Legend
Abe Spargo
Joey Montagna has supported the idea of an AFL team in Tasmania, saying that he would rather play for a team there than on the Gold Coast.
The former St Kilda champion also said he thinks that the idea of an AFL team in Hobart is something on the cards in the future.
"If I was an 18-year-old kid getting drafted these days and I had a choice between playing football in Hobart or playing football on the Gold Coast," Joey said on Dead Set Legends.
"I think Hobart is starting to gain some momentum and grow some legs."
"I think it's a real possibility."

XS-NRG was a running project spearheaded by Ean Jackson back in 2004. Along with his buddies Wade Repta, Dom Repta, and Dave Cressman they attempted to become the first group of runners to complete the overly rugged 180km Sunshine Coast Trial, in a non-stop effort.
In the end only one survived...that's right, three of them DIED en route, though not in your typical end of life definition. I've since had beers with all of them and they're just fine, by all standard definitions, other than their running egos having taken a bit of a beating along the way.
There's also a little cameo by yours truly, though you may not fully recognize me as I'd honestly only been running for a few months at that point in my life. My running style could only be described as a full body workout, and I also successfully disguised myself under a full head of hair. This, combined with the fact that Dom Repta looks twelve years old, should not confuse the fact that we are indeed just seven years removed from this historic running accomplishment.
Good friends Shay Wilson and Angus Mclellan produced, directed, and edited the film and they've now posted it online for three day streaming rental for just $2.60! If nothing else, you can mock my running, marvel at my flowing locks, and witness one runner's never say die attitude that carried him through nearly two full days of relentless forward motion.
If you click on the movie itself on their HOME page you'll be directed to the rental side of things.

"The floors and other applications needed to be tough. After all, it's an active building with active students." Photography courtesy the American Hardwood Export Council.
In the heart of Amsterdam on Oosterdok Island is the unique Amsterdam Conservatory. Completed in 2008 and recognized as the largest and most diverse conservatory in the Netherlands, the eye-catching structure showcases a variety of building materials. American red oak is predominant in the design, adding natural warmth and beauty to the structure, in harmony with the building's interesting mix of concrete, steel, and glass.
The impressive facility has three distinct elements arranged in vertical components: the "Performing Heart" made up of the foyer and five auditoriums; the college building with classrooms; and the study building with the library, lecture hall and offices. Challenged with combining the three clusters was Van Dongen, a partner of Cie. Architecture, and self-proclaimed "tinkerer," whose work is indeed a masterpiece.
Working within a tight budget, Van Dongen gave the college and study levels the same cost-efficiency typically applied to his residential designs. He also applied the "Engawa Principle," a Japanese style in which corridors are situated next to the perimeter of the building and rooms are within. The corridors function not only as passages, but also as extra sound and thermal buffers. His approach, which makes the most of the budget and space, created a vibrant building, which exudes Van Dongen's love for people, architecture, and materials.

Recently, the global think-tank Urban Land Institute hosted its annual forecast on real estate and development trends for 2019 in Chattanooga. EMJ Corporation sponsored the event in partnership with the AGC of East Tennessee, AIA Chattanooga, Chattanooga Design Studio and River City Company.
Anita Kramer, Senior Vice President at ULI Center for Capital Markets & Real Estate started the event with her presentation on the Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2019 report. The report is annually published by ULI each year. The Emerging Trends report is considered one of the most credible and well-regarded forecasts in the real estate industry. Drawing on insight from industry leaders, the report considers industry wide variables including U.S. investment and development trends, real estate finance and capital markets, property sectors, metropolitan areas, construction influences and other real estate issues.
Following ULI's macro-forecast of the 2019 U.S. real estate trends, a panel of local experts gathered to provide a more specific discussion on Chattanooga's 2019 outlook. The panelists included Chas Torrence, EVP of EMJ Construction, Tiffanie Robinson, CEO of Lamp Post Properties, and John Clark owner of Tennessee Development Resources. The panel was moderated by Jim Williamson of River City Company and covered a range of topics from the impact of Opportunity Zones and Opportunity Funds to rising construction costs and qualified labor shortages in Chattanooga.
The event was a first of its kind in Chattanooga and one that EMJ and presenting partners hope will help establish a ULI presence in Chattanooga permanently. Industry partners attending the event came from as far as Nashville and Atlanta and consisted of various developers, investors, designers, and more.
EMJ hopes to be a driving force behind Chattanooga's affiliation with the Urban Land Institute while also helping to unify Chattanooga's real estate development leaders and build upon continued growth in the same community where EMJ was founded in 1968.

Legal tools for all
BY ALLEN A. BUCHANAN, Staff Writer
ST. PETERSBURG –The annual LawFest Workshop and Community Fair celebrated its 14th year of putting various legal tools within the reach of the everyday citizen. This year's event took place at the Enoch Davis Center Saturday, Oct. 28.
LawFest founder Theresa "Momma Tee" Lassiter, a grassroots activist, said the workshop came about when she heard many people in the community expressing the need for legal advice but did not know where to start acquiring consultation.
"One day the Spirit spoke to me and said 'LawFest,'" explained Lassiter, who stated that she was initially stunned by the experience, but it was not long before she connected the dots.
She and former Mayor Bill Foster, who is an attorney, would set up shop at Shirley's Soul Food Restaurant and anyone who would purchase breakfast from the restaurant would get free legal advice.
As word spread, Lassiter knew God had charged her with the task of helping a community in need of free legal consultation from competent advisors, and when she learned that lawyers must do so many pro bono hours, well, the rest is history.
Lassiter said she was grateful with the turnout close to 500 people last Saturday, but she was not satisfied because her goal was to reach 1,000.
"I serve the people," she said.
There were lawyers from every area of law, including patent law, immigration, civil litigation lawyers, basic divorce, wills, child support and even attorneys who deal with mental health issues.
"I had 30 vendors and that has never happened before!"
Legal service organizations were spread out in the main corridors of the center as well as the private individual rooms and the main auditorium where food was being served.
Next year, Lassiter said she is looking at the possibility of taking LawFest on the road to make the legal resources available to more citizens and she's even kicking around the thought of doing it twice a year.
This year's event cost $13,486 and any additional funds raised will be used to sponsor a Christmas Cantata.
"That's where I select 100 needy kids and I give them a party," she said. "I not only have a gift for them, but also I have them select a gift for their parents."
LawFest 2017 was made possible by the sponsorships of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department, the St. Petersburg Police Department, Duke Energy, Bayfront Health Center, the James S. Herr Foundation and the Bill Edwards Foundation.
