Check in clerk: I´m afraid this is a non- smoking flight, sir. Would you prefer an aisle seat or a window seat?
Passenger: Erm….well, I´m not sure. You see, it´s the first time I´ve flown and I, well, I´m feeling a bit uneasy about it. What I really want is the safest seat.
Check in clerk: Oh I see, well there´s really nothing to worry about. Let´s see, I can give you an aisle seat right next to one of the exits. Then you´ll have more leg room, too.
Check in clerk: And could I just see your passport, please?
Passenger: Um…..oh yes….um….here you are…….
Agent: Good afternoon! Where are you flying to today?
Agent: May I have your passport, please?
Agent: Are you checking any bags?
You: I have a stopover in Chicago – do I need to pick up my luggage there?
Agent: No, it'll go straight through to Los Angeles. Here are your boarding passes.
Instead of "Where are you flying today?" the agent may ask "What's your final destination?" The answer will be the same!
You can say "Here you go" when you give something to somebody, as in this example when you give the passport to the agent.
Check your bags means: to put the bags on the airplane inside the cargo compartment.
The small bag you take with you on the airplane is called a carry-on. You need to put your carry-on bags through the X-ray machine at security.
A stopover or layover is when the airplane stops in a different city before continuing to the final destination.
If the agent says that your luggage will go straight through, it means it will go directly to the final destination and you don't need to pick it up during your stopover.
Boarding passes are the tickets that permit you to enter the airplane.
If your bag is heavier than the weight limits, or if your bag is larger than the size limits, you may need to pay an oversized baggage fee or overweight baggage fee. Some airlines in the United States also charge a fee for ALL checked bags.
If you want to ask if the flight will leave at the correct time, you can say, "Is the flight on time?" The agent will respond either "Yes" if the flight is on the correct schedule, or "There's a 20-minute delay" (for example) if the flight will leave later than expected.
Extra questions in the U.S.
Agent: Did you pack your bags yourself?
Agent: Are you carrying any firearms or flammable materials?
Agent: Has your luggage been in your possession at all times?
*Be careful here – some agents ask if your luggage has been "in your possession at all times" and others ask if your luggage has been "outside your supervision (or possession) at any time." The answer to the first question is YES and the answer to the second question would be NO.
Agent: Has anyone given you anything to carry on the flight?
Agent: Are you aware of the regulations regarding liquids in your carry-on, which must be 3.4 ounces or less and placed inside a single quart-sized transparent plastic bag?
* If you want to take any liquids on a flight in the United States, they must be 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less and you must put them all in a clear (transparent) plastic bag. Each passenger can take only one bag on the plane. If you have bigger bottles of liquid (like shampoo, wine, etc.) you need to put them into your checked bag.
There are two pieces of equipment in security: you put your bags through the X-ray machine, and you walk through the metal detector. The X-ray machine has a conveyor belt that moves your bags automatically through the machine. You can put small items like keys or money into plastic bins.
Agent: Please lay your bags flat on the conveyor belt, and use the bins for small objects.
Agent: Yes, you do. Take off your hat and your shoes, too.
Agent: Please step back. Do you have anything in your pockets – keys, cell phone, and loose change?
You: I don't think so. Let me try taking off my belt.
Agent: Okay, come on through.
Agent: You're all set! Have a nice flight.
Airports are divided into terminals (the major sections of the airport) and each terminal has many gates. The gate is the door you go through to enter the airplane.
Here are a few announcements you might hear while you are at the gate, waiting for the plane to board.
Know your flight number in English, so that you can pay attention to the announcement and know if you need to go to a different gate.
The people who work inside the airplane serving food and drinks are called flight attendants. Both men and women who have this job are called flight attendants. Here's a conversation you might have on the plane.
Flight attendant: Chicken or pasta?
Flight attendant: Would you like chicken or pasta?
You: I'll have the chicken.
Flight attendant: Anything to drink?
You: What kind of soda do you have?
Flight attendant: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Orange, and Dr. Pepper.
You: A Diet Coke, no ice, please.
Flight attendant: Here you go.
Sorry? Or Pardon? To ask him or her to repeat it.
If you want to ask for something, you can use the phrase "Can I have…" For example: Can I have a blanket?
Can I have a pair of headphones? (Or: Can I have a headset?) Can I have some water? Can I have some extra napkins? Can I have a decaf coffee?
There are two types of coffee: regular coffee, which has caffeine. This is the type of coffee that helps keep you awake. There is also Decaf coffee – this is short for "decaffeinated coffee" – and this type has no caffeine. It's good to drink decaf coffee if you like the taste of coffee, but you want to go to sleep soon.
Finally, if you need to stand up, but there is a person sitting between you and the aisle, you can say Excuse me and make a motion to start standing up. The person sitting next to you will understand and stand up to let you get out of your seat.

Chad Commits to an Acceleration of the Action Plan to End the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers
Fabienne Vinet2013-05-22T00:00:00-04:00Wednesday, 22 May 2013|
At the 38th formal meeting of the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict on Monday, Leila Zerrougui, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, briefed on her visit to Chad, where she was able to reconfirm the commitment and determination of the Chadian authorities to fully implement the Action Plan to end the recruitment and use of children in the country's national army.
Ms. Zerrougui travelled to Chad from 12 to 14 May at the invitation of the Government. During her trip, she met President Idriss Déby Itno who renewed his commitment to work towards an army free of child soldiers.
"I am encouraged by the President's commitment and looking forward to seeing real progress before the end of the year," said the Special Representative.
The Chadian National Army has been listed in the annexes of the Secretary-General Report since 2009 and has signed an action plan with the United Nations in 2011. The plan is setting a timetable for the release and reintegration of child soldiers as well as measures preventing future recruitment.
Since the signing of the action plan in 2011, Chad has not recruited children as a matter of policy but reliable mechanisms to prevent the recruitment of minors, investigate and prosecute violations against children still need to be put in place throughout the country.
While in N'djemena, Ms. Zerrougui also met with Government officials as well as United Nations partners and civil society.
During her visit she presided a workshop on the implementation of the action plan, which brought together representatives of the Government and the United Nations in an effort to agree on a road map detailing a set of short and medium term measures required to fully implement the action plan.
Chad agreed to provide full access and to begin a screening process of the national army in collaboration with the United Nations.
"This is a crucial step that requires the collaboration of the Government and all partners on the ground. Effective screening is the best way to fully verify that Chad is honoring its commitment to end the use of child soldiers," said Leila Zerrougui.
The road map also stresses the importance of providing support for former child soldiers, including programmes to help children go back to their families and resume a normal life.
Finally, in the longer term, a free and national birth registration system needs to be further developed to facilitate age verifications and prevent the enlistment of children in the army.
"Chad has an important opportunity to bring its national laws, policies and institutions in full compliance with international standards. We must continue to do all we can to support the country by providing expertise, capacity and by sustaining UNICEF's efforts on the ground," concluded the Special Representative.

National Indigenous People's Day: Responsibility, Accountability, Opportunity
06/16/2022 /in Weekly Update /by Marshall Watson
Tuesday, June 21 is National Indigenous People's Day. It is an opportunity for all Canadians to reflect, learn, support, and participate in celebrations of Indigenous culture in our communities.
We have all been witness to the findings of unmarked potential graves of children who were forced to attend residential schools. Over 8000 unmarked graves have been located; the media has used the word "discovered" but Indigenous communities have always known they were there.
It is important to make that distinction. And it is important to bear witness to the legacy of forced assimilation. And it is important for all of us to take the time to reflect on what has been done to the Indigenous children, families, and communities of Canada and what is still being done.
The Indian Act is still in effect. Families are still being separated. Discrimination and prejudice still exist. At the same time, it is easier than ever to experience and enjoy Indigenous art and culture. There are Indigenous books to read, Indigenous stores to shop at, and Indigenous music to listen to.
National Indigenous People's Day is an invitation and opportunity to think about and act upon the responsibilities we have.
First, it is our collective responsibility to have honest conversations with ourselves—to examine how privilege and power show up in our lives and how we utilize that power and privilege to help others and to hold people up. What barriers do Indigenous families or communities face that we might take for granted? What issues are most important to us? Whose stories inform our way of thinking?
Second, be accountable. Be accountable with your words, your thoughts, and your actions. It can be easy to identify how others need to change but harder to see our own flaws and prejudices and biases. Encourage others, ask for help, and admit when you slip up (we all slip up). Support those around you and let them support you as well. It is important that we do the work of reconciliation together—that we hold each other up.
Don't know where to start? Here are some ideas for you:
Please don't look away from the news or turn the TV off or put down the paper. Indigenous people have been unable to look away from these tragedies for centuries; they had to watch their kids get taken to residential schools. These are uncomfortable truths. You are going to have to feel uncomfortable.
Seek out the truth—the REAL truth. Dig a little deeper into your knowledge of Indigenous people in your community. Think about the "systems" and "laws" and "policies" directed at Indigenous peoples and communities. Are those services adequate, funded appropriately, and accessible? Do other systems treat Indigenous and non-Indigenous people the same?
Explore new ways of thinking and learn about Indigenous worldviews. How do different Indigenous communities think about parenting or the seasons? What do concepts like justice or history or storytelling look like from a different perspective? Suppressing Indigenous ways of knowing helped Canada's colonial systems maintain power and control over Indigenous people. But learning about Indigenous worldviews lets you understand what it is like to be Indigenous in Canada AND helps bring back a little of what was lost.
National Indigenous People's Day is also a celebration of Indigenous culture and there are lots of ways to participate and enjoy the celebrations in your community.
Indigenous Tourism BC has a growing list of events that are happening and there are many celebrations happening in local communities. Grab a bannock, listen to the drumming and singing and watch the dancing! (You can also learn about the Indigenous nations in the area you reside and the traditional names of those nations.)
If you are in the lower mainland, the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver has an exhibit called In a Different Light: Reflecting on Northwest Coast Art. Or, if you just want to chill out, relax and watch TV, check out CBC. There are a number of Indigenous movies, documentaries and short stories available to either download or watch. Future History is an excellent new show streaming on CBC. Reel Injun: On the Trail of the Hollywood Indian explores the portrayal of North American Natives through a century of cinema.
Whatever you do, you are encouraged to use National Indigenous Peoples Day as an opportunity to celebrate Indigenous resiliency, art, achievements, and diversity through a lens of truth and reconciliation!

against bullying
BULLYING CAN HAVE a different effect on different people. The effect is often negative, sometimes deadly. Toledo, Ohio, pre-teen Ruthanne Johnson chose to "brush it off my shoulder"—until it became severe and threatening. What started as taunts of "You're fat! You're ugly!" soon led to the discovery of a notebook outlining five different ways to kill her.
"I kind of was at my breaking point,"
Ruthanne says. "I was watching the Oprah
show and I went on the Oprah website to
learn more about what I was watching and
they had an email [link] and said if you have
a story, click here."
She sent in her story but didn't expect
anything. "When I wrote the letter I wasn't
thinking about the bigger picture," she says.
"I thought this was going to be a hollow
effort and nobody would hear me. I'd just
be screaming alone."
But the people at Oprah Winfrey's pro-
duction company did hear her and invited her
to an event at Harvard University, where Lady
Gaga, Ruthanne's idol, was set to launch her
Born This Way Foundation, founded "to foster
a more accepting society, where differences
are embraced and individuality is celebrated,"
according to the foundation's website.
Meeting Lady Gaga backstage was more than a dream come true, it was an inspiration, says Ruthanne. Soon after returning home, she told her parents, Costco members Ryan and Becky Johnson, that she wanted to start her own organization to help other victims of bullying.
The Be You Foundation (beyoufounda tion.org) is a 501(c) 3 organization, dedicated to education, with the goal of inspiring schools throughout Ohio, the United States and the world to start anti-bullying programs.
Now somewhat of an idol herself, Ruthanne has lofty goals for Be You. "I really hope that my foundation will grow and grow," says the now-13-year-old. "And I really hope to impact and save a lot of lives."—Steve Fisher
WHAT DICKSON SENKUNDA remembers most about growing up in his native Uganda was the scarcity of books. Even today, many schools in Uganda lack libraries and are lucky to have one textbook for every 20 students, leaving the country with a literacy rate of only 68 percent.
Senkunda, who eventually emigrated to America, where he completed his education, wants to help children in Uganda have the kind of meaningful lives that books and literacy can provide. Dr. Seuss and Charles Dickens are helping him do that. Since 2008, Teach the Children, www.teachthechildrenuganda.org,
Teach the Children
Dickson Senkunda shares the gift of reading with Ugandan students
the nonprofit organization Senkunda founded with his wife, Heather, has shipped more than 5,000 pounds of books to schools in Uganda from their home in Shoreline, Washington.
One of the proudest moments in his life occurred last year when Senkunda visited one of the 13 schools the program helps. "Students who couldn't read when we first started the program were so excited to sit down and read to us. It was just amazing," says Senkunda, a senior business analyst for United Health Care. He was even more inspired when he learned that students were bringing books home to share with their families—and then bringing them back in perfect condition.
The group accepts donations of books and/or cash. Teach the Children uses monetary donations to visit schools, build book-shelves and purchase new books. Its main goal now is to provide the schools with up-to-date textbooks.
HEATHER SENKUNDA
Running Teach the Children is a challenge
for the Senkundas, who work full time and
have three daughters under the age of 4, but it
is one they embrace wholeheartedly. "To see
the light in the eyes of the children and the joy
that they experience in learning is the reward,"
Senkunda says. "They soak it all up, and it is so
humbling to be able to watch it all unfold."

So far, they've donated 9,475 tooth-
brushes to nonprofits working with children

Africa and the U.S. They plan to give 18,400

TWO YEARS AGO, Costco members Eric and Geri Cope of Kirkwood, Missouri, went to Central America on one mission and returned with another. They traveled to Guatemala, where they'd adopted their son five years before, and, through the philanthropic Buckner International organization, helped to run a dental clinic. Geri played with the kids while Eric taught them how to brush their teeth. Through their experience, they learned that most poor Guatemalan kids don't own a toothbrush, and if they do, their whole family shares it.
"Seeing the poverty there, we knew we couldn't fix all of it," says Geri. "We just wanted to do something. When kids don't own a toothbrush, it's a small thing that can make such a big difference." Poor dental health may contribute to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases and low-birth-weight babies. Untreated cavities can cause serious infections.

In April 2010, the Copes, who each had a career in the financial services industry,
started work on a business that would donate one toothbrush for every toothbrush sold, and Smile Squared was born. They wanted a sustainable product, and they found a bamboo toothbrush that fit the bill. They launched the business on their website, www.smilesquared.com, in November 2011.

I do not have access to the HTML or PHP for a page and can only edit via CSS. I've been doing modifications on a site and adding text via the ::after or ::before pseudo-elements and have found that escape Unicode should be used for things such as a space before or after the added content.
How do I add multiple lines in the content property?
Authors may include newlines in the generated content by writing the "\A" escape sequence in one of the strings after the 'content' property. This inserted line break is still subject to the 'white-space' property. See "Strings" and "Characters and case" for more information on the "\A" escape sequence.
Nice article explaining the basics (does not cover line breaks, however).
In addition, the \A didn't work in the middle of the text to display, to force a new line.
Found this question here that seems to ask the same thing: Newline character sequence in CSS 'content' property?
The .mbr and .dbr classes can simulate line-break behavior using CSS display:table. Useful if you want to replace real
.
and this post on responsive site use: Responsive line-breaks: simulate
 at given breakpoints.
How can I add a br tag inside of css "after" selector?
How to jump a line with css?

Gustave-Philippe Revilliod, né le  à Genève et mort le  au Caire, est un archéologue, collectionneur d'art, éditeur et mécène genevois.

Biographie
Il est fils de Philippe-Léonard Revilliod (1786-1864), membre du Conseil représentatif de Genève et directeur de l'hôpital, et d'Ariane-Philippine de la Rive (1791-1876). Sa famille, fort aisée, est d'origine savoyarde. Elle s'établit à Genève au .

Gustave Revilliod étudie le droit dans sa ville natale de 1835 à 1837, puis la philosophie à Berlin de 1838 à 1839.  Il est président de la Société pour l'histoire et l'archéologie de Genève. De 1868 à 1870, puis de 1872 à 1874, il est député au Grand Conseil du canton de Genève. Son importante fortune personnelle lui permet de sillonner les continents et d'acquérir de nombreuses œuvres d'art. Elle lui permet aussi de créer une bibliothèque privée comptant plusieurs milliers d'ouvrages, aujourd'hui répartie entre plusieurs bibliothèques publiques genevoises. Cultivé, sachant plusieurs langues, il est non seulement l'auteur d'ouvrages historiques et littéraires mais encore traducteur en français d'ouvrages en allemand. Il fait également rééditer des ouvrages traitant de l'histoire genevoise. Il représente la Confédération suisse lors de l'inauguration du Canal de Suez en 1869.

De 1877 à 1884, il fait construire le Musée Ariana - dénommé ainsi en hommage à sa mère - sur sa propriété de Varembé, afin d'y montrer ses collections d'art (peinture, sculpture), ses collections d'art décoratif (porcelaine, céramique, mobilier, orfèvrerie) et ses collections de numismatique.

En 1890, il lègue à la Ville de Genève et à ses habitants le domaine de Varembé et le Musée Ariana avec toutes ses collections, ainsi qu'un immeuble dans la Vieille-Ville de Genève et un portefeuille d'actions pour entretenir le parc et le musée.

Son corps repose au parc de l'Ariana. Ses archives, quant à elles, sont déposées aux Archives d'État de Genève.

Overall, war did significantly shape the revolution in France
acting as a major catalyst for radical change causing thousands of deaths from
1792 onwards. Even before 1792 the idea of intervention from foreign powers was
a probable one as shown by the emigres and the Kings flight to Varennes. When
war did eventually break out the revolution was no longer as concerned with
matters of representation or taxation but rather enemies within as it became
embroiled in a state of paranoia which led to the Jacobins taking power. It
really shows the sans culottes attitude towards conflict during the revolution
given their attitude towards Louis's execution in 1793 for his conspiracy
against his own country, the Jacobins provided an out, acting as a demagogue
body using the crowd to eliminate opposition such as the Girondins bringing an
era of terror. Once again war remained an active conditioner for shaping the
revolution as France's military success from 1794 onwards resulted in the
downfall of the Jacobins and rise of Napoleon. War changed the targets of the
revolution shifting it from the bourgeois
aims of decentralisation, laissez faire and decreased government authority to
the sans-culottes dominated demands of the right to work, the right to
insurrection, greater centralisation. In conclusion the Revolutionary Wars
massively shaped the Revolution in almost every way from the fall of its
monarchy to the terror and civil war to its First Emperor forever changing the
course of social, military and political history.
War had manipulated the French government into a war machine, the
Directory had managed to consistently wage war on multiple fronts with a number
of nations: Russia, Prussia, Austria, Britain, and the Ottoman Empire etc.
Foreign conquests had managed to bolster the financial power of France giving
it the ability to spread the revolution into surrounding nations as it said in
the Edict of Fraternity of 1792. Napoleon had risen through the ranks becoming
a General at 26 years old conquering the Italian peninsula and invading Egypt,
other military victories include the battle of Austerlitz in 1805 against
Russia and Austria but before that Napoleon had managed to utilise a military
coup to become First Consul and then the First Emperor of France by 1804
abolishing the Directory and reforming many Jacobin and pre-Jacobin concepts
vital to the revolution. To be honest by this time the revolution had
essentially morphed into war, instead of interior reform it was a matter of
external conflict, whether it was Napoleon's career making victories or
career-ending defeats that marked the end of the revolution still remains a
topic of debate to this day.
Just as the military defeats in the Revolutionary wars aided the
Jacobins rise to power, once the tide turned in France's favour it had the
opposite effect. By the end of 1793 the nation's fortunes had begun to change,
the French forces had defeated the Spanish, British and Austrians all within
weeks of each other claiming back the towns of Savoy, Roussillon and
Hondschoote. People started to call for a relaxation on the terror once
economic and living conditions had improved. Unnecessary pressing of the terror
by Robespierre and the Jacobins ultimately caused the coup of Thermidor due to
the loss of support from the sans-culottes13.
However the Jacobin dictatorship is essentially what formatted the structure of
the nation and the thinking of its people which allowed it simply to be
replaced by the Napoleonic Empire.
The war also helped the Jacobins gain enough influence to take power over
France and caused "The Great Terror". Because of their popularity with the
Sans-Culottes, the Jacobins manage to take advantage of Louis's absence and the
chaos that had gripped France to gain dominance over the National Assembly. The
Jacobins shifted the revolutionary direction inwards focusing on weeding out
counter-revolutionaries and used the threat posed by traitors, spies and
military losses to increase their influence profoundly. Many people were
executed for treason for collaboration with Louis and/or the invading Prussian
and Austrian armies, many of these accusations was true, many were not. The
Terror was concocted by Jacobins to restore order via fear to the common
peoples in the attempt to rally against external enemies whilst also exposing
inner ones. An example of this is the September massacres of 1792 when the fall
of Verdun panicked the courts into sentencing over a thousand prisoners who had
fled the fortress to death, even members of Church were put to the sword simply
for failing to leave country.11
It was also utilized to remove any
opponents who provided resistance the Girondins political actions to solidify
their positions, gone was an army of the "Free French" soon after levee en
masse (mass conscription) was introduced in late 1793 in order to bolster the
policy of 'Total War'12.
The war also resulted in Jacobins forming committees to carry out heavy
surveillance brushing aside the laissez faire attitude of the revolution in its
adolescence.
This coupled with the King's flight to Varennes plus the Royal
Family's long association with the Holy Roman Emperor is what accelerated the
path to their demise and completely changed the French Revolution. The
enlightenment movement had taken Europe by storm in the build up to the
industrial revolution in the next century and as such the mandate doctrine of
the Divine Right of Kings to rule in all European nations began to be
challenged, secularisation started to seep into Western European culture and as
the influence of Christianity began to wane, so did the influence of Europe's
Kings7.
The greatest of this was exhibited in France by educated political thinkers
guiding the crowd and was massively assisted by the catalyst of the Royal
Family's association with what the National Assembly perceived as threats to
its national security, namely, Prussia and Austria. The ties originate mainly
due to Marie Antoinette's relationship with Leopold II as siblings, due to this
Marie Antoinette was never really viewed in a positive light by the French
public. Rumours of scandals and unfaithfulness left people of every class
sceptical of the monarchy believing the King's wife to be a Prussian spy which
majorly played a part in their execution. Louis himself was very hesitant and
sceptical of dependence on foreign intervention rather preferring to rely on
the aid of the Emigres to counter the Revolution.8
This was when France was on the cusp of war, to see their leader, their king
fleeing to the enemies at the gate it damages and reshapes the revolution,
people start to doubt it and it gave away to extremism and radicalism in Paris
leading to mass execution of many people who didn't fully support the cause. It
also really shows how tight knit the Royal Community was at the time how a
Revolution in one country can attract the attention of other nations to the
point of invasion to spread ideologies from spreading, it shows how afraid the
Monarchies were afraid of losing their power and despite initially underestimating
the revolution eventually grew to fear it. Amongst the military defeats the
French army were suffering, the Brunswick Manifesto was the last straw truly
exposing how in line the Royal Family was with their invaders9.
It's truly amazing to see how war shaped the revolution as the National
Assembly desperately tried to keep Louis compliant and alive even after the
undeniable repeated actions and documents accusing him of conspiracy and the
National Assembly almost unanimously finding him guilty the death sentence
voting process was actually very close (By a majority of one vote)10
showing how the Revolutionary movement was still clinging to the past and that
the governing body very much saw a future with Louis alive, albeit maybe not
his wife. After the execution of Louis it shapes the revolution in a way that
opens the gates for foreign invaders, Girondins, Jacobins and France's first
Emperor.
The Emigres that fled France during the Revolution to aid other
European kingdoms massively influenced the revolution. Many pivotal aristocrats
hailing from the First and Second Estate fled the country as public opinion played
a more prominent role following the formation of the National Assembly. A
number of the Emigres included military officers (around 6000) and deserters
massively upsetting the chain of command and disorganising French armed forces
in the build up to the Revolutionary wars. The National Assembly previously
tried to turn the Emigres into outlaws and criminals for deserting their
country though Louis initially vetoed the decree in November, 1791. The many
people that fled France constantly encouraged and provided aid to Prussian and
Austrian plans to invade France on their former nation4.
The Emigres played a part in the Declaration of War by the National Assembly in
April 1792, where "..the Court of Vienna, in contempt of treaties, has not
ceased to grant protection to rebel Frenchmen (notice the use of the word
'rebel')". The National Assembly took such offence and threat to the idea of
the men that once made up their monarchical governing body and army helping the
enemies on their borders labelling it a conspiracy against the sovereignty of
the French Nation5.
The Declaration also goes on to state that "the French will never confuse their
brothers with their true enemies"6,
yet, although the declaration was intended to expose internal
counter-revolutionaries, it actually had the effect of strengthening the
counter-revolutionary movement following a developing insecurity amongst the
French people with foreign invaders on their doorstep.
War is what ultimately led to the execution of the French Royal
Family and subsequently the last King of France. Though the revolutionary
movement at first never actually intended to harm the royal family and rather
dramatically reduce their power to a supporting role in the new constitutional
government, suspicions started to arise around 1790 when Louis blocked various
legislations using suspensive vetos preventing the National Assembly from
passing certain social and political reforms such as the decree against emigres
in 1791.This piece of legislation is prime evidence of the growing resentment
and paranoia against any French outside the country as well as those planning
to leave, had the legislation been passed, these individuals would have been
declared outlaws should they not return by the start of the new year. The
revolution were sure that eventually Louis would accept his place in the new
ruling body even after his flight to Varennes where his Political Testament was
printed in newspapers stating his rejection of the new constitutional system
labelling it as "illegitimate"3.
The King's flight and attitude from the revolution incurred mass panic in
France and the rumours of betrayal and calls of execution for the Royal Family rapidly
increased as everyone realised war was inevitable.
The French revolution became increasingly paranoid towards any
resistance both foreign and domestic as a result of the fear of war. In 1790
the renunciation of Wars of Conquest shows how paranoia had gripped the
pioneers of the revolution, though the National Assembly "renounces the
undertaking of any war with a view to the undertaking of foreign conquests"1.
We can see the hypocritical nature in this given how the war France basically
started out of supposed self-defence turned into an expansionist war of
liberation as seen by incursions into Germany with French loyalists occupying
towns along the River Rhine and the invasion of the Austrian Netherlands,
France were the first to declare war against Austria (Holy Roman Empire)
Despite vowing to prosecute the aggressor of war for lese nation2.
Of course this paranoia was greatly brought about by several factors, one
of which being the Declaration of Pillnitz where the Kings of Prussia,
Frederick William II, and Austria/ Holy Roman Empire, Leopold II who actually
was the brother of Louis's wife Marie Antoinette (another major factor for the
shaping of the Revolution in France) threatened the governing body of France
with invasion should the safety of the Royal Family be compromised. Although
the declaration was initially meant to dampen the movement yet only added fuel
to the fire. Suddenly patriotism was abundant throughout the capital with
people ready to repel the foreign threat which did more than most to unite the
movements… For a time.
From 1789 to 1799 France was thrown into a state of chaos and
conflict regarding the social and cultural reforms. The early phases of the
revolution envisioned a constitutional monarchy with a reduced but still very
influential role for King Louis XVI. In its decree of 22nd May,
1790, it was legislated the shifting of the power to declare war and make peace
from the King to the National Assembly but yet the King still remained as the
leader of the armed forces and was still liable for the conduct of foreign
policy. Europe looked onwards towards the situation in France fearful the
revolution against the old ways of Feudalism would spread to neighbouring lands
whilst the Revolutionary movement was fearful of foreign intervention at all

Recommended for a Fantasy setting, this game would be played by the mages and other members of the intellectual elite. It is deeply steeped in numerological mysticism, and might even be used for divinatory purposes. It would be perfectly unintelligible to the non-initiated, and thus presents quite a few interesting role-playing possibilities!
Rithmomachia: A Hobby skill, Mental/Hard (or Very Hard), no default, prerequisites Literacy and Mathematics (at IQ). Mathematical Ability helps.
A game set varies from the simplest (pouch of rough wooden pieces and a cloth chessboard; 20 $, 1 lb.) to the exquisite (pieces and board of marble or precious wood inlaid with gold and silver; 1,000 $ and up, 10-20 lbs.).
Rithmomachia is Latin for Battle of Numbers; the game is at once a battle of pawns and a battle of numbers. To play, one must be able to do a lot of quick mental arithmetic, as we shall see. This is why this game was, throughout its period, very elitist, being played mostly by high ranking churchmen and nobles. The game is flawed, in that the two sides are not equal (though you'll probably find as many experts swearing the white pieces are the better ones as you'll find opting for the black pieces!).
A pyramid is made up of stacked pieces. The pawns destined to be stacked are of progressively smaller sizes, the larger value at the bottom, the smaller on top.
As one can see, the game is a numerologist's dream! This went very well with the mystic of numbers that pervaded the Middle Ages. On with the rules!
All the pawns are reversible, being white on one side and black on the other. This is because they can be captured and flipped as the game progresses.
Both players must agree, when starting a game of Rithmomachia, on which victory conditions to use. There are seven common victories and seven proper victories.
In all Proper Victories, the object is to take the opposing pyramid, and then position three or four pawns, in line or square formation, in the opponent's half of the board, so as to form an arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic progression.
In an Arithmetic Progression, the differences between successive numbers are given by a single value (called the ratio of the progression). For example: 2 - 5 - 8 - 11 is an Arithmetic Progression of ratio 3.
In a Geometric Progression, the ratios between successive numbers are given by a single value (called the ratio of the progression). For example: 3 - 12 - 48 is a Geometric Progression of ratio 4.
In an Harmonic Progression, the ratio of two successive differences is equal to the ratio of the end numbers. If the Progression is a - b - c, we have c/a = (c-b)/(b-a). This number is the progression's ratio. For example: 4 - 6 - 12 is an Harmonic Progression of ratio 3, as 12/4 = 3 and (12-6)/(6-4) = 6/2 = 3.
The Mediocre Victories are achieved by obtaining one of the progressions.
The Great Victories are achieved by obtaining two progressions at once.
The Excellent Victory is achieved by obtaining all three progressions at once.
Note that in all these examples, the victories were achieved with captured enemy pawns.
There are two types of moves: Regular and Irregular. In a Regular move, the piece slides from its starting point to its end point; the intervening squares must be unobstructed. In an Irregular move, the piece jumps from its starting point to its end point, regardless of obstacles.
Pyramids can move like round, triangular, or square pieces as long as they still have a representative of that shape in their stack.
Captures must precede or follow a Regular move. When the capture precedes the move, the capturing pawn takes the captured pawn's place. When the capture follows the move, the captured pawn's place is left empty. It is possible to achieve several captures at once, both before and after the move! When capturing several pawns before a move, the capturing pawn chooses which captured pawn's place to take. Captures are NOT mandatory.
Captured pawns are flipped and may be re-introduced on the board, on any free square of the player's board edge. Putting a captured pawn down replaces a move. It is possible to capture in this way.
The capturing pawn comes within one Regular move of the victim.
If white moves his piece to C2, he could capture black.
When a number is equal to the sum, difference, product, or ratio of two opposing pawns, it can be taken on condition that both capturing pawns be within a Regular move of the victim.
If black moves his 4 to B3, he can take the 12 as 8+4=12 and both his pieces are within a Regular move of the white piece.
A number encounters an opposing pawn in the same row, column, or diagonal so that the number of intervening squares is equal to their product or ratio. The intervening squares must be unoccupied.
By moving his 2 out of the way (to A2 or C4), black captures white as 12/6=2, the number of intervening squares.
When a number is equal to one of the powers or roots of an opposing pawn, the latter can be taken on condition that the capturing pawn be within a Regular move of the victim.
If the 3 is moved to A2 or C2, it can take 81 as 3 is the fourth root of 81.
When a number can be made part of an Arithmetic, Geometric, or Harmonic progression with at least two opposing pawns, it can be taken on condition that both capturing pawns be within a Regular move of the victim.
If black moves his 20 to A3, he can take the 25 as 15-20-25 is an Arithmetic progression (of ratio 5) and both his 15 and 20 will be within a Regular move of the 25.
If a pawn is so surrounded that it cannot accomplish a Regular move, it can be captured.
If black moves his 72 to B4, he imprisons the white 30 as all of his possible Regular moves will then be blocked by black or white pawns.
Pyramids can be taken apart one component pawn at a time, or all at once. A pyramid's value is given, at all times, by the sum of the values of its component pieces. The pyramid can itself capture, using either its total value, or the value of any one of its component pieces. The only restriction is that it cannot dislocate itself when moving.


Often my husband and I will text during the day. Sometimes it is practical like "Are you picking up Honey". Other times it is personal and fun, just something to let each other know we are thinking of each other. Sometimes I will buy a handful of cards with simple but loving notes and leave them in his car or hide them in his lunchbox. These are the little things that I think are important and make a person feel special. My husband's birthday happens to be on a "special" day for most of the world. He was born December 31st. Most people enjoy the uniqueness of their birthday and it is a day that is usually about them, but hubby spends it with the world. So I try to go out of my way to send him a little extra love.
His birthday isn't until the end of the month but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about him now. The holidays always bring out the best in people (well most of the time) and feeling quite loving I thought it would be fun to surprise him with a special holiday card just for him. Often between taking care of the kids, working, decorating, and shopping my husband gets lost in the busyness of the holidays. I wanted him to know that even when I'm busy and running errands I'm always thinking of him. I decided to try out a new online service and send him a card this year using Open Me. One of the unique things about this site is that not only can you customize your card but you can even have it printed and mailed to your recipient if you prefer a traditional snail mail delivery. Email delivery is free and printed cards can be as low as $2. The great thing is you won't have to stand in the store reading card after card and bumping elbows with other card patrons (especially if you wait until the last minute) and no need to make sure you have a stamp.
Like I said I decided to send a birthday card so I skimmed through both the birthday cards and love cards to try to find the perfect one. I picked out 4 cards before I narrowed it down to the perfect one.
It isn't hard to find the perfect card, you have a large selection and can narrow it down by what type of card you are looking for such as holiday (narrowed down even further), friendship, encouragement, love, birthday, and thank you.
So I will be honest it took me all of 1 second to decide on which of the four cards I was going to choose. In fact when I first saw it I had to giggle, lets just say it is an inside joke. Customizing my card was super easy I choose my card and then I had the option to customize the inside. I had 5 slogans to choose from for the left side as well as a photo and my own note on the right side.
I even had the option to customize the back of my card and of course I had to take advantage of that as well. I included my signature phrase to my husband in closing as I do all letters, cards, or notes to him.
Once you have customized your card you have the option to send it digitally free via email or you can have it printed and mailed.
What is even better is you can schedule your delivery. I'm usually a last minute person and am always running late so this was definitely a plus for me. I originally decided to go ahead and schedule the card for delivery on my husband's birthday.
After I previewed the card and was happy with how it turned out I went ahead and sent it to him so I could see his reaction. As I suspected when he read the front of the card he giggled just like I did. I'm absolutely loving how easy it was using Open Me to send a personalized card. Since I'm more of a send a card "just because" I anticipate using this site quite often in the future just to send a quick reminder of my love.
It is also a great way to send cards to grandparents, siblings, or friends that we don't see each day. You can find some fun cards and designs by following Open Me on Instagram and Pinterest.
Happy Holidays to The World's Best Husband!
Oh thanks Penelope, I'm going to say it is from long lasting love and feeling more confident in life in general.
I love personalized cards! The ones I've sent always get rave thank yous and 'where did you get that' comments!
I am not much for buying or sending cards, my late husband and I reused the cards we bought when we were newly married and wrote something on them every year. It is very rewarding to read his little notes to me. I put my card ot him in his final resting place.
I absolutely love this idea, it makes the card all the more special. I'm so sorry for your loss.
That is so sweet of you to say. It is always nice to feel that you get better with age.
I really love that you can have it mailed. There's something about holding the card that gives it greater impact.
I like how your card turned out and how you made it move through the years. I have been married a long time too and need to get busy with more pics I love how yours came out!
I like how you can schedule it to arrive anytime and personalized messages are so meaningful. It's so much better than an email and you can save it to look at anytime. Just a little planning needed for a great surprise.
I love this! Though I personally still love to get, open and read a card from the mailbox, my son would prefer this method. I have already bookmarked their page and since I can schedule delivery will create some for next year!
PS: 26 years and I still leave love notes in my hubby's lunchbox and so forth!
I just made a few custom cards as well. I love how I can make it the way I want.
I love that you can mail a traditional card from it too.
I am terrible about remembering to send cards on time, so this scheduling service sounds great!
I love being able to schedule cards ahead of time! I'm always panicking and rushing to get a card at the last minute.
Oh I love that you can schedule the cards to be delivered at a later date!

Netflix buys digital streaming rights of Thalapathy Vijay's Master
The streaming rights of Thalapathy Vijay's much-anticipated film, Master, have been bagged by popular OTT platform, Netflix. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, was supposed to hit the screens in April. However, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, pushed the release date. While there were reports that the film will hit the screens in January 2021, the latest news regarding the film's release has surprised the fans.
Reports claim that the distributor of the film, Seven Screen Studio's Lalit Kumar, has sold the streaming rights to Netflix. Netflix offered a huge amount to buy the rights of the film and the makers couldn't say no to the deal. However, it's still unclear if the film will skip theatrical release and take the OTT way.
A source close to the production, they said, "It's true that the streaming rights of Master have been sold to Netflix. However, the makers are yet to decide on the film's release."
A few months ago, the director of the film, Lokesh Kanagaraj, confirmed that the film will release only in theatres. When Lokesh was invited as a special guest by Vijay's fan club in Coimbatore, he said, "Vijay's Master will release only in theatres. There is no chance of the film releasing on any OTT platform. We are waiting for the theatres to re-open in the country."
On November 14, the makers of the film unveiled the film's teaser. Since then, the video has been trending on the internet and it has garnered rave response from both audiences as well as critics.

Q: How to find the ascii code to a given letter, if the binay code for another letter is given? How do I answer this question?
If the character "A" is represented by 1000001 in the ASCII system, what is the ASCII code for the letter "F"?
How do I get the answer for this without looking at the table?

A: In ASCII the capital letters are assigned consecutive character codes. So if you know that the character code for the first capital letter, A, is 65, then you can deduce that the character code for the sixth capital letter, F, is 65 + 5 = 70.

As Drs. Bloom and Williams have told thousands of patients, many eye diseases present no signs or symptoms until it's too late, when the damage is irreversible. That's why they also try to provide a comprehensive, dilated eye examination to identify any issues before they become serious. A comprehensive eye exam can also detect health issues that you might not associate with your eyes, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. When our doctors examine patients, they assess each patient's overall health, not simply your eye health.
That's we're introducing a new iWellness scan technology as part of our exam. It's completely painless and non-invasive — think of it as an CT scan of the eye that provides a detailed scan of each layer of the retina. This unprecedented detail allows us the best change at early detection of sight-threatening diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and others. These conditions generally have no outward signs or symptoms in early stages.
The iWellness exam is quick, too. Our technician can perform it bas part of your preexam testing and your doctor will review the results with you during your regular examination. The co-pay is lower than you might expect but it is typically not covered by your vision or medical insurance unless being used to actively follow disease. This charge will be added into the cost of your visit. Any questions you have about iWellnessExam and the results of the test can be discussed with the doctor during your examination.

I do have an otherwise working solution - nginx-ingress logs are parsed correctly.
With istio-proxy injected containers i have to do the parser-matching myself (no annotations on these).
I found some resources, like https://blog.donbowman.ca/2018/10/03/the-rabbit-hole-of-log-parsing-istio-proxy-sidecar-log-routing-and-parsing-with-fluent-bit/
My envoy regex seems to work on all random istio-proxy log checks via https://regex101.com/ or https://rubular.com/
[2019-08-23T00:39:51.546Z] "GET /api/authenticate?login_challenge=30cd90e278ff4591a07e9bef80235a7b HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "-" 0 1284 25 25 "25.25.25.25" "Go-http-client/1.1" "57d14491b1441a5634f0354d6425b882" "login.example.com" "127.0.0.1:80" inbound|80|http|frontend.uat.svc.cluster.local - 10.233.120.18:80 25.25.25.25:0 outbound_.80_._.frontend.uat.svc.cluster.local

Unfortunately, Istio-proxy logs appear in kibana, but in unparsed way.
Help appreciated!

A: Some breaking changes were made in tag parsing.
Check that your kube.*.istio-proxy is matching. My guess is you now have a very inconvenient path in the middle.
I had changed this about 18 mo ago so that the tag was kube.namespace.pod.container, but then it was changed to be kube..namespace. That would be my guess here, that the tag is not matching.
see https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/upgrade_notes#fluent-bit-v-1-1 ... you will now need to put the original tail input path in the tag.

A: I found the same issue when testing fluent-bit:v1.2.1 on my minikube cluster. So i dug around and did some modification on envoy filter but nothing worked.
Match: kube.*.istio-proxy is the problem. Routing seems so obscure. So i changed the match rules to kube.istio-proxy.* and changed the tag definition in input section to kube.<container_name>.<namespace_name>.xxxx and parser section.
And It worked!
UPDATED: After read the parser document i add Reserve_Data to my  filter
[FILTER]
        Name                parser
        Match               kube.istio-proxy.*
        Key_Name            log
        Reserve_Data        On
        Parser              envoy

June 27, 1977 – CBS World News Roundup – Gordon Skene Sound Collection –
June 27, 1977 – a day of contrasts throughout the world.
Beginning with news of a tragic fire in a Columbia Tennessee jail which took the lives of some 42 prisoners and visitors is what was described as the worst fire of its kind in Tennessee history . The fire, started in a cell by a 16 year-old Fugitive from a Mental Facility, quickly spread, trapping prisoners and visitors. A guard was under investigation after he had reportedly dropped his cell-door keys and didn't pick them up for an approximate 12 minutes, in which time scores of screaming locked-in prisoners were overcome by smoke. Forensics experts and fire investigators were on the scene, this day after the blaze, combing through smoldering ruins, searching for answers.
Meanwhile, in East Germany – a freight train and express passenger train collided near the Polish border, killing some 27 passengers and crew as the train burst into flames.
In St. Louis this day – the annual gathering of the NAACP (National Association For The Advancement of Colored People) and the approval of a new President, with the retirement of 75 year-old Roy Wilkins and the selection and approval of his successor, Benjamin Hooks. The 10,000 delegates converged on the city to begin the 68th session of the NAACP Convention.
And Independence was in the air from Djibouti, the former French colony. Djibouti was bordered by Somalia on the Southeast, Eritrea and The Red Sea to the north and northeast and Ethiopia to the West and South and The Gulf Of Aden to the East. Under French rule since the late 1800s, a referendum vote was held in May of 1977 and the decision to break colonial ties to France was unanimously approved by the third vote on June 27th. And the wheels of independence for Djibouti were set in motion.
And that's just a small slice of what happened in the world this day, June 27, 1977 as reported by The CBS World News Roundup.

I would like you to try to visualize our future on this planet. call up the dark clouds hanging all everywhere every town. The oceans swallowing our coasts, and deserts consume up our heartland. All of these things argon caused by pollution, and thats whats in terminal for us if we dont change our ways. in that location are many forms of pollution, but or so of them net be divided into two groups: air and piddle pollution. demarcation pollution is one of the more obvious forms of pollution. It is caused by the transaction that clogs the roadways, the burning of garbage, and the release of toxic gases into the air by industries. any stratum millions of scores of gases and particulates are poured into the atmosphere. Normally, small amounts of particulates would fritter past in the air, but we constantly overload it. Every eon some sort of fuel is burned, a pollutant is released into the air in forms ranging from colorless, odorless, yet poisonous gases to the thick, black, smog, which hangs over our cities. The burning and de afforestation of the Earths forest is in addition contributing to the problem. Every category, the clearing of forests released 1 cardinal tons of CO2. Throughout its history the earth has lost over 2/3 of its original forest area. This year, were fighting the fires in southeast Asia and the Amazon River Valley.
