A heuristic: the hotter the opening salvo in any discussion, the lower the potential for intelligent debate.
It's human nature to push back, but remember: you can't put out fire with gasoline.
Instead, cool things down so progress is possible? Start here.


Although we have never stayed at the Polynesian Resort, we have visited a few times. Our first trip we did the Spirit of Aloha Luau, which was a lot of fun. We have taken the boat over from Magic Kingdom and walked along the beach. We have gotten off the monorail just to look at the lobby with its beautiful greenery and waterfalls and check out the Wyland Gallery. But after reading an article on the Disney Food Blog, I found another reason to visit – the banana-stuffed-sourdough-bread-rolled-in-cinnamon-sugar Tonga Toast at the Kona Café.
We had 8:45 am reservations, plenty of time to get from All Star Music to Magic Kingdom to ride the monorail over. Kona Café is on the left on the same level as the entrance from the monorail. We were seated right away and immediately ordered the French press of Kona coffee for two. If you like strong coffee, it doesn't get any better than this, especially at (typically Nescafe saturated) Disney World. My heart, or I should say stomach, was set on the Tonga Toast, but I was very tempted by a few other things on the menu too. I was pretty pleased when Dave ordered the Pineapple Macadamia Pancakes because that was my second choice!
The wait for the food was a little long, but not unreasonable. For a Saturday morning, the restaurant was busy, but not packed. I would imagine, since the entire eating area was open to the hotel lobby, that it could get pretty loud in there during the peak season.
When our meals came, the waitress also brought one pitcher of maple syrup and one of strawberry syrup. The strawberry syrup was wonderful, tasting of really fresh, ripe strawberries and nothing artificial. It was a perfect compliment to the Tonga Toast. I must admit, I had a slight concern with ordering Tonga Toast because I had read one review where the writer had thought that it was too sticky sweet for their tastes and especially for breakfast. Now I like sweet, but I can't handle sticky sweet and the Tonga Toast has made my list of one of the best things I have had at Disney. All the flavors, the cinnamon and the banana and the sourdough French toast, were all so good together. And it was sweet, yes, but definitely not overwhelming. I really wanted to try those pancakes too, but I hated having to share! But I'm glad I did because the pancakes were fantastic! The pineapple and toasted macadamias were actually mixed in with the batter and they didn't skimp on the amount they put in there. They were a bit more filling than the Tonga Toast, but they were just delicious. Dave had also ordered ham on the side and that was a perfect compliment.
Kona café is an excellent choice for breakfast (I'll admit we couldn't finish all of the pancakes, but I think I picked every last macadamia I could find out of them) and definitely a good start to a busy day. Next time we go we'll have to bring the kids, I need someone to order The Samoan so I can try that too!

Соревнования по вольной борьбе в рамках Олимпийских игр 1952 года в легчайшем весе (до 57 килограммов) прошли в Хельсинки с 20 по 23 июля 1952 года в «Exhibition Hall I».

Турнир проводился по системе с начислением штрафных баллов. За чистую победу штрафные баллы не начислялись, за победу по очкам борец получал один штрафной балл, за любое поражение (по очкам со счётом 2-1, со счётом 3-0 или чистое поражение) — три штрафных балла. Борец, набравший пять штрафных баллов, из турнира выбывал. Трое оставшихся борцов выходили в финал, проводили встречи между собой. Схватка по регламенту турнира продолжалась 15 минут. Если в течение первых десяти минут не было зафиксировано туше, то судьи могли определить борца, имеющего преимущество. Если преимущество никому не отдавалось, то назначалось шесть минут борьбы в партере, при этом каждый из борцов находился внизу по три минуты (очередность определялась жребием). Если кому-то из борцов было отдано преимущество, то он имел право выбора следующих шести минут борьбы: либо в партере сверху, либо в стойке. Если по истечении шести минут не фиксировалась чистая победа, то оставшиеся четыре минуты борцы боролись в стойке.

В легчайшем весе боролись 20 участников. В играх не принимал участие оставивший большой спорт действующий чемпион Европы, мира и олимпийский чемпион Насух Акар. До финальных встреч добрались известный японский дзюдоист, перешедший после войны в вольную борьбу Сёхати Исии, советский борец Рашид Мамедбеков и индиец Хашаба Джхадав. Японский борец в финальных встречах победил обоих, и завоевал золотую медаль, первую для Японии в послевоенное время. Мамедбеков же победил индийского борца ещё в пятом круге и стал серебряным призёром. Хашаба Джхадав принёс Индии первую олимпийскую награду в индивидуальных видах спорта.

The "other" Arc de Triomphe across from The Louvre courtyard at the entrance to The Jardin des Tuileries. This Arc is about half the size of more famous The Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Elysees. Both are in the Corinthian style but have to say I prefer this smaller arch. And you don't have all the mental traffic flying around it!!


The socket library of this tutorial can be downloaded via the Download section of this page. The archive should simply be extracted into the folder of your choice. The directory /sources contains the source code of the library. The archive also contains two folders enabling to compile under Windows (Visual Studio) or Linux (makefile).
The library will then be compiled (libSock.so) and installed in the directory /user/lib. Folder /Includes is also created. It contains the header files with the different library function prototypes.
The Visual Studio projection in the /Windows directory enables to compile easily the library. Important output files of this compilation are libSock.dll and libSock.lib.
If you need to create a project from another compilator, do not forget to define the symbol LIBSOCK_EXPORTS in the preprocessor commands definition. This command enables the following compiler directive __declspec (dllexport), which allows some functions to be exported from the library (see file libSock.h.

This is the MCM bag that I am currently using! Very spacious for someone who brings out a lot of stuff.
Hey! Yes, I've been to NSC when I was younger. In my non-bias opinion, I found DRx more suitable for me. At NSC, I have to say it's cheaper monetary wise, because they are more.. Public? They gave products that were standard? & my doctor told me not to do facials (which is weird coz we SHOULD extract out the dirt in our faces) then he suggested doing extractions for me (but nvr did)!? My skin did improve slightly though, I have to say.

China (includes Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau) – China
Burma has a quasi-parliamentary system of government in which the national parliament selects the president and constitutional provisions grant one-quarter of parliamentary seats to active-duty military appointees. The military also has the authority to appoint the ministers of defense, home affairs, and border affairs and one of two vice presidents, as well as to assume power over all branches of the government should the president declare a national state of emergency. In 2015 the country held nationwide parliamentary elections that the public widely accepted as a credible reflection of the will of the people. The National League for Democracy (NLD) party leader Aung San Suu Kyi was the civilian government's de facto leader and, due to constitutional provisions preventing her from becoming president, remained in the position of state counsellor. During the year parliament selected NLD member Win Myint to replace Htin Kyaw as president, and the country held peaceful and orderly by-elections for 13 state and national offices.
Under the constitution, civilian authorities have no authority over the security forces; the armed forces commander in chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, maintained effective control over the security forces.
Independent investigations undertaken during the year found evidence that corroborated the 2017 ethnic cleansing of Rohingya in Rakhine State and further detailed the military's killing, rape, and torture of unarmed villagers during a campaign of violence that displaced more than 700,000 Rohingya to neighboring Bangladesh. Some evidence suggested preparatory actions on the part of security forces and other actors prior to the start of violence, including confiscation of knives, tools, iron, and other sharp objects that could be used as weapons in the days preceding attacks by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA). An additional 13,764 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh between January and September. The government prevented assistance from reaching displaced Rohingya and other vulnerable populations during the year by using access restrictions on the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies. The military also committed human rights abuses in continuing conflicts in Kachin and Shan States.
Human rights issues included reports of unlawful and arbitrary killings by security forces; torture; harsh and sometimes life-threatening prison conditions; political prisoners; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; arbitrary arrest and prosecution of journalists and criminalization of defamation; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, including arrests of peaceful protesters and restrictions on civil society activity; restrictions on religious freedom; significant restrictions on freedom of movement, in particular for Rohingya; corruption by some officials; unlawful use of child soldiers by the government; trafficking in persons; crimes involving violence or threats targeting members of national, ethnic, and religious minorities; and the use of forced and child labor. Consensual same-sex acts among adults remained criminalized, although those laws were rarely enforced.
Although the government took some limited actions to prosecute or punish officials responsible for abuses, the vast majority of such abuses continued with impunity.
Some nonstate groups committed human rights abuses, including killings, unlawful use of child soldiers, forced labor of adults and children, and failure to protect civilians in conflict zones. These abuses rarely resulted in investigations or prosecutions.
READ A SECTION: CHINA (BELOW) | TIBET | HONG KONG | MACAU
The People's Republic of China (PRC) is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the paramount authority. CCP members hold almost all top government and security apparatus positions. Ultimate authority rests with the CCP Central Committee's 25-member Political Bureau (Politburo) and its seven-member Standing Committee. Xi Jinping continued to hold the three most powerful positions as CCP general secretary, state president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission.
Civilian authorities maintained control of security forces.
During the year the government significantly intensified its campaign of mass detention of members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang). Authorities were reported to have arbitrarily detained 800,000 to possibly more than two million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other Muslims in internment camps designed to erase religious and ethnic identities. Government officials claimed the camps were needed to combat terrorism, separatism, and extremism. International media, human rights organizations, and former detainees reported security officials in the camps abused, tortured, and killed some detainees.
Human rights issues included arbitrary or unlawful killings by the government; forced disappearances by the government; torture by the government; arbitrary detention by the government; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention conditions; political prisoners; arbitrary interference with privacy; physical attacks on and criminal prosecution of journalists, lawyers, writers, bloggers, dissidents, petitioners, and others as well as their family members; censorship and site blocking; interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, including overly restrictive laws that apply to foreign and domestic nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); severe restrictions of religious freedom; significant restrictions on freedom of movement (for travel within the country and overseas); refoulement of asylum seekers to North Korea, where they have a well-founded fear of persecution; the inability of citizens to choose their government; corruption; a coercive birth-limitation policy that in some cases included sterilization or abortions; trafficking in persons; and severe restrictions on labor rights, including a ban on workers organizing or joining unions of their own choosing. Official repression of the freedoms of speech, religion, movement, association, and assembly of Tibetans in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) and other Tibetan areas and of Uighurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in Xinjiang worsened and was more severe than in other areas of the country.
Authorities prosecuted a number of abuses of power through the court system, particularly with regard to corruption, but in most cases the CCP first investigated and punished officials using opaque internal party disciplinary procedures. The CCP continued to dominate the judiciary and controlled the appointment of all judges and in certain cases directly dictated the court's ruling. Authorities harassed, detained, and arrested citizens who promoted independent efforts to combat abuses of power.
Indonesia is a multiparty democracy. In 2014 voters elected Joko Widodo as president. Domestic and international observers judged the 2014 legislative and presidential elections free and fair. Domestic and international observers judged local elections in June for regional executives to be free and fair.
Civilian authorities generally maintained control over security forces.
Human rights issues included reports of arbitrary or unlawful killings by government security forces; torture by police; arbitrary detention by the government; harsh and life-threatening conditions in prisons and detention centers; political prisoners; censorship, including laws addressing treason, blasphemy, defamation, and decency, site blocking, and criminal libel; corruption and attempts by government elements to undermine efforts to prosecute corrupt officials; criminalization of same-sex sexual activities at the local level and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; and forced or compulsory labor.
While the government took steps to investigate and prosecute some officials who committed human rights abuses, impunity for serious human rights violations remained a concern. In certain cases, the courts meted out disparate and more severe punishment against civilians than government officials found guilty of the same crimes.
Malaysia is a federal constitutional monarchy. It has a parliamentary system of government selected through regular, multiparty elections and is headed by a prime minister. The king is the head of state and serves a largely ceremonial role; he serves a five-year term; the kingship rotates among the sultans of the nine states with hereditary rulers. In May parliamentary elections, the opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition defeated the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition, resulting in the first transfer of power between coalitions since independence in 1957. Before and during the campaign, opposition politicians and civil society organizations alleged electoral irregularities and systemic disadvantages for opposition groups due to lack of media access and malapportioned districts favoring the then-ruling coalition.
Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over security forces.
Human rights issues included: reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government or its agents; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; censorship, site blocking, and abuse of criminal libel law; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; corruption; violence against transgender persons and criminalization of adult same-sex sexual activities; child labor; and trafficking in persons.
The government arrested and prosecuted some officials engaged in corruption, malfeasance, and human rights abuses, although civil society groups alleged continued impunity.
Singapore is a parliamentary republic where the People's Action Party (PAP), in power since 1959, overwhelmingly dominated the political scene. The Elections Department declared Halimah Yacob president in 2017; she was the only candidate who qualified for the ballot, which was reserved that year for an ethnic Malay. Observers considered the 2015 general election free and open. The PAP won 83 of 89 parliamentary seats with 70 percent of the vote. The president subsequently reappointed PAP leader Lee Hsien-Loong as prime minister.
Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces.
Human rights issues included: preventive detention by government authorities under various laws that dispense with regular judicial due process; monitoring private electronic or telephone communications without a warrant; significant restrictions on the press and online, including the use of defamation laws to discourage criticism; laws and regulations significantly limiting the right of peaceful assembly and freedom of association; and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as well as criminalization of sexual activities between men, although the law on this was not enforced.
The government prosecuted officials who committed human rights abuses in previous years. There were no reports of officials who committed human rights abuses or prosecutions or reports of impunity for such abuses in the year to October.
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy, with King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun as head of state. In a 2014 bloodless coup, military leaders, taking the name National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and led by then army chief General Prayut Chan-o-cha, overthrew the civilian government administered by the Pheu Thai political party, which had governed since 2011 following lower house elections that were generally considered free and fair.
The military-led NCPO maintained control over the security forces and all government institutions.
An interim constitution, enacted by the NCPO in 2014 was in place until April 2017, when the king promulgated a new constitution, previously adopted by a popular referendum in 2016. The 2017 constitution stipulates the NCPO remain in office and hold all powers granted by the interim constitution until establishment of a new council of ministers and its assumption of office following the first general election under the new charter. The 2017 constitution also stipulates that all NCPO orders are "constitutional and lawful" and are to remain in effect until revoked by the NCPO, an order from the military-appointed legislative body, the prime minister, or cabinet resolution. The interim constitution granted immunity to coup leaders and their subordinates for any coup or postcoup actions ordered by the ruling council, regardless of the legality of the action. The immunity remains in effect under the 2017 constitution. Numerous NCPO decrees limiting civil liberties, including restrictions on freedoms of speech, assembly, and the press, remained in effect throughout most of the year. NCPO Order 3/2015, which replaced martial law in March 2015, granted the military government sweeping power to curb "acts deemed harmful to national peace and stability." In December, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha lifted the ban on political activities, including the ban on gatherings of five or more persons. The military government's power to detain any individual for a maximum of seven days without an arrest warrant remains in effect, however.
Human rights issues included unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government or its agents; torture by government officials; arbitrary arrest and detention by government authorities; censorship, site blocking, and criminal libel; abuses by government security forces confronting the continuing ethnic Malay-Muslim insurgency in the southernmost provinces of Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani, and parts of Songkhla; restrictions on political participation; and corruption.
Authorities took some steps to investigate and punish officials who committed human rights abuses. Official impunity, however, continued to be a problem, especially in the southernmost provinces, where the Emergency Decree on Public Administration in the State of Emergency (2005), hereinafter referred to as "the emergency decree," and the 2008 Internal Security Act remained in effect.
Insurgents in the southernmost provinces committed human rights abuses and attacks on government security forces and civilian targets.
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an authoritarian state ruled by a single party, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), and led by General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, and Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan. The most recent National Assembly elections, held in 2016, were neither free nor fair, despite limited competition among CPV-vetted candidates.
Human rights issues included unlawful or arbitrary killings by the government; torture by government agents; arbitrary arrests and detentions by the government; political prisoners; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; arbitrary arrest and prosecution of individuals critical of the government, including online, and of journalists and bloggers, monitoring communications of journalists, activists, and individuals who question the state's authority, censorship, unjustified internet restrictions such as site and account blocking, and criminal libel; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association including detention, arrest and prosecution of individuals seeking to assemble freely and form associations; significant restrictions on freedom of movement, including exit bans on activists; restrictions on political participation; corruption; and outlawing of independent trade unions.
The government sometimes took corrective action, including prosecutions, against officials who violated the law, but police officers sometimes acted with impunity.

Spyweb plays through the 'Resident Evil 2' one shot demo on Youtube.
If you have ever played a survival horror game growing up in the 90's, you had to come across a series called Resident Evil. In 1996, Capcom released a game in Japan called Biohazard, which eventually made it to the states as Resident Evil. The survival horror genre was born with this original title that was released on the Playstation console. The concept of survival horror is to pit the player against challenges with scarce resources. This game specifically used zombies and other biological weapons as enemies in the game. You were constantly pressed to decide whether to fight or flight, depending upon resources that you gain throughout the game. Furthermore, you are tasked to manage a limited inventory in which you would need to decide on what tools and weapons to carry. As you progress deeper into the story line, the creatures that you encounter become increasingly more difficult to fight. Lastly, your save states in the game were based upon finding ink ribbons to save your game onto sparingly limited typewriters.
While the original Resident Evil was the benchmark for the survival horror genre, its sequel Resident Evil 2 was my favorite in the series. Resident Evil 2, which also premiered on the Playstation console was a considerable upgrade to the original game. I preferred the graphics, sounds, music, and game play over the original game. While in the original Resident Evil, you can choose between Jill Valentine or Chris Redfield, the story plays out very similar either way. In Resident Evil 2, you can start a scenario through either Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield and then play through a second time as the other character with the previous play throughs puzzles unlocked. Overall, the sequel was an instant classic and solidified my interest in the series to date.
Controls: The original control style for the series was "tank" movement, in which you would spin your character to the direction that you would like to go and then move your character either forward or backward. While this was acceptable in the early installments of the series, it became out dated and gamers sought more fluid movement in games. Starting with Resident Evil 4, Capcom decided to ditch the tank controls in favor of more fluid controls and also a third person perspective while aiming. With the Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom decided to use this more fluid movement system. One of the main resentments from fans of the survival horror genre was that due to the fluidity of the character movement, it caused the Resident Evil game series to become more of an action game rather than survival horror. Soon you were running paces around enemies, doing jump kicks, and began taking the survival out of the game. While the remake does have more fluid controls, the character is slightly slower and feels heavier to move around. Also, the environment is more tightly built around hallways and obstacles to keep you from completely avoiding danger.
Combat: In Resident Evil (1998), you would simply aim your weapon in the direction of the enemy and fire with the hopes to take them down. In the 2019 remake, the game is set with the third person over the shoulder perspective. The remake made one huge change to the formula to keep it more akin to survival horror, which was its aiming system. When you aim your weapon, you will need to allow your reticle to pull in to take an accurate shot. If you immediately aim and fire your weapon, the shots will fire in a general direction, but no guarantee that they will land on the target. This challenging new feature set me back into the survival horror feel as I would take my time to try and get an accurate shot on a looming zombie approaching me. While I was only able to play 30 minutes into the demo, I am curious to see how the controls will affect battling end game creatures and bosses.
Graphics: The first three Resident Evil titles had pre-rendered rooms and areas, which at the time was an interesting style for games, with only the character, enemies, pickups, and puzzles being animated models. The remake though is absolutely stunning, it is frightening to walk down hallways in this game, as the graphics, lighting, and sound is amazing. Even the cut scenes are incredible and look better than the CG Resident Evil movie (Hollywood quality) that was produced years ago. The atmosphere is dark and dreary and with the game excellent use of lighting really instill fear into the player. The areas that you explore have an attention to detail that allows the game to tell a separate story on how the zombie outbreak affected the world of Raccoon City. Overall the graphics are more in line with Resident Evil 4 rather than Resident Evil 7, if you have played both of those titles. I suggest taking a quick look at the video above to see how great the graphics, sounds, and lighting are for yourself.
My first impressions with this game is that is a must buy for anyone who loves the survival horror genre. This remake, even as just a 30-minute demo, stays true to the original Resident Evil 2, while bringing it to the next generation. I look forward to playing this title on its January 29, 2019 release date!
Make sure to check out my play through of the demo above on my Spyweb Youtube channel and look forward to my live stream play on release.

Useful (and kinda fun) Virtue Cheat-sheet!
Feb 2, 2019 filed under Fun Stuff.
A one-pager with use-now examples of how you can change your thinking on-the-spot from negative to positive in tough situations. Here's to a stronger, better, holier life — yay!
Thank you Rose. Today I was thinking about apologetics and how I am going to retake a class in Thomas Aquinas from the institute with doctor Taylor Marshall online. Hes a very well educated man and speaks a lot of really good things he was in a piscopal priest and now he and his wife and 8 children have been Catholic for the last 10 years. And so he put away the collar put on the tie and now teaches courses and does many other things. A today philosophy is so necessary and Thomas Aquinas is one of our gifts from the mystic his journey short as it was makes him a doctor in the Catholic Church. And I was so very happy to receive your personal quick summary which is so applicable and I was proud to pass it along. Many blessings on you Rose until next time praise be to God.
Your thoughts mean a lot to me — thank you! I studied St. Thomas Aquinas for 5 years when I was a new Catholic, and agree that his solid, practical (and mystical) way of expressing the Truth is much needed today. He's the inspiration for everything I do — trying to put gobbledy-gook theology into plain language that people can actually use to live better life.
Thank you Rose! I always look forward to your Sunday emails. It is truly a blessing. I love this weeks comparison on how we are a new creation in Christ. How when we put him fist we practice self control in all areas of our life. We learn that gossiping about others is not of God and practicing self control when it comes to food choices even though we are tired is what God wants for us.
Yes, it's easy to forget that "what God wants of us" is exactly what is best for us in the long run. Even the trials we face. I love the way you put it, "new creation in Christ." And we are renewed every time we say "yes" to Him.
Definitely need to work on a few. Thank you, it answers a lot of my questions. Bless you.
Thanks so much for your feedback, Claire. I really appreciate it.
That Prudence, Number 4, made me stop to think. Guilty! I'll try to do better and stick to the same bedtime each day.
Yes, too often I look up and say, "How did it get to be midnight?" Let's pray for each other!
Any of these states, usually self imposed, can drive me to seek instant gratification, harming myself and others; often the ones I love. I can kick the can down the road like Esau who in Genesis 25 said "Let me gulp down some of that red stuff; I'm starving," and thus bargained away his birthright to Jacob who was all too willing to make the swap.
I often say that "truth is generic" because God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is present (to a greater or lesser extent) in all created things — present somehow in everything true, good, and beautiful. The truth in AA has saved so many souls and, well, I think most of us can relate to Esau!
With a grateful heart for all these gentle reminders… especially the virtue of Prudence. But I'll reflect on all of them!
Thank you, my virtuous friend! Your legendary courage, perseverance, and optimism perennially inspire me.
Always a delight to hear from you! Please don't be offended but I had to chuckle when learning of a "cheat-sheet" on how to practice "moral virtues"!
for sharing. I think it's great. God Bless.
I have read your sheet of 4 moral virtues and really liked it very much. I did want you to know that some of the text on your "cheat' sheet is very small and difficult to read. Just wondered if you could make it a little larger? The messages are great!!
You are filled with God's mighty Spirit and strive to help us always!! Love you!!
It is a very special presentation, seems like endless human dispositions that could be applied, don't you think? Wow, great work.
I love your cheat sheet idea and found it very useful.
It reminded me so much of the Goofus and Gallant section of Highlights magazine….a memory from my childhood which I call upon to this day.
The Self Control section hit home with me. Reminding me to seeking God's help and strength at my weak moments was inspiring to me and gave me hope. Thank you.
-Lead off with the "Why" and then the example. For example, prudence has always been a mystery to me. Your "Why" explained it and then the example made sense.
-Give more than one example of each…the more the better.
Thanks for the great comments. And you're egging me on for more examples, which I'm happy to do….Maybe this will grow from a cheat-sheet to an e-book!
Great idea, Rose! I would call it "Virtue Tip Sheet." And I agree with a previous commenter who said that the text is small. Might be hard for some folks to read. Blessings!
I like "Tip Sheet." It avoids using the word "Cheat" when we're talking about Virtue!


Inchcock Today – Tuesday 4th September 2018: Woke up to a Whoopsiedangleplop… or two! Tsk!
0310hrs: I woke up and fleetingly toyed with making plans to get up, reluctantly for once. Not like me usually. Soon, I'd decided to go on an Evil Boll Weevil Ironclad black biting beetles search and destroy mission. Belched, and I decided not to bother.
I noticed signs of my having been nocturnally nibbling.
I found resting firmly in the ample folds of my abdomen, twixt the thorax and midriff, a partly squashed plastic container, empty, that earlier had been full with beef flavoured chip sticks in it, the lid was entrenched under my right armpit!
It must have been there a good while, cause the ribs were bruised. I just could not remember eating them at all!
Then, as I struggled out of the second-hand £300 recliner, I felt something like pieces of grit crunching under my feet!
Ah! I'd not nibbled all the chips. I suppose I fell asleep and tipped the container over?
Am I a Klutz or what? Huh!
Much, time, effort and pain later, I'd got most of the mess picked up. Couldn't use the hoover this early in the morning cause of the noise. So I got down on my knees and hand-picked-up as much as I could find. As for my getting back up again… it was not easy! Tsk!
The monitor failed to work a few times, but it came right eventually.
Although, some of the readings on were a little on the high still.
Off to the Porcelain Throne. Decent evacuation this morning, although a tad loose and messy.
There was no haemorrhaging from Harold's Haemorrhoids. Second blood-free day, now. Good!
Not many evil ironclad boll Weevil black biting beetles in the wet room this morning. One near the shower drain, and another on the curtaining.
There is a spit in the floor sealing on a corner, and I thought I saw some of the weevils shoot into the gap. But I'm not sure.
Finished the ablutions, and went to the spare room to check on the evil ironclad boll Weevil black biting beetle population.
The trap-card seemed to have the same amount of bodies stuck on it, like yesterday. A few of the weevils were lurking on the window ledge, but not many.
I took the medications, and checked the weeks dosage pots, as there were no Ramipril capsules in this mornings. But all the others were okay.
I had a super-duper Dizzy-Spell as I was making a brew. A right humdinger! It only lasted a few minutes, though. But was of concern, cause I'd never had such a forceful one like this before.
I soon felt okay again. No more attacks came.
I think someone has been cleaning the cellophane outside the kitchen window. I reckon some of the blemishes seem to have disappeared?
Maybe, the Aliens or heavy rain to blame? Oh, no, I don't think we had any rain. Beats me!
Updated Monday post, and got sent off to WordPress.
I made an Iceland order, for delivery Thursday twixt 0800 > 1000hrs.
Started this post off, but had to stop and get things ready to catch the bus.
I took three black bags of rubbish to the waste chute, and on the way down I grabbed a bag of recyclable stuff and dropped it off at the caretakers' door.
The work taking place on Chestnut Walk has expanded, and what bit of pavement we had, we have no longer.
I joked the other day, about are they building a graveyard for the tenants who get knocked over and killed by the traffic, but it might be they are building us a paddling pool or could be accessing the water pipes to connect up the New Extra-Care block building. Hehe!
Well, as I passed the chaps, I saw a big roll of tape, with 'Caution – Electric Cable' written along it. So, no paddling pool – Haha!
I arrived at the Nottingham City Homes, Winwood Flats, Unterscharführeress Wardens Temporary HQ, Willmott-Dixon workers breakfast and tea-break room, Sarcasm & Insult distribution area, Tenants Socialisation Shed, Telling Inchcock off Zone, Things like crockery and pottery to be stolen from, and residents room. A few folks in there chatting away.
Out to the bus stop, Caroline from the residential home came over for a natter. The bus soon arrived.
I got into Arnold and shot straight to Asda (Walmart). Rushed about the store and ended up getting, Cheesy Curls, bread thins, brown oven-bottom muffins, apples, seasons sliced potatoes and… erm… er… Two Fresh Cream French Horns. Guilty! Paid at the self-serve tills and rushed out to catch the bus, the moment I arrived at the shelter, it came! Bit of luck there!
I got to the Hospital in plenty of time and without any chance of my being late.
Within minutes I was being pampered by a team of students and nurses in a side-room.
My problems were discussed and thrown to the others, for ideas, suggestions and identification guesses and prognoses.
They all abandoned the room after putting a cloth over my lower regions.
I lay there under the giant microscope for a few minutes, with the odd person coming in and asking me questions about my medical history.
Then even more medics came into the room. All of these lads and lasses wore severe facial expressions. I later found out these people were more students.
In the end, they all wished me well, and I was left with one nurse (A lovely meaty one), and the bloke. No one called him Doctor, but Mr whatever his name was?
So, a week so from now, I will be called back to see them again and should learn what is to be done.
I thanked him and went to catch the bus.
A lady and gent were on the bus. I did some crosswording, and we arrived safely home.
How I wish I could remember peoples names! Tsk!
Shared pleasantries with some people getting on the bus.
As the three of us limped along Chestnut Way, I hobbled as rear guard and warned them each time a vehicle approached from our rear.
Got to the flat, and Doris (I think) showed a way into the flats that we could use when the caretakers' door was open.
I gave them a choice of nibbles. And up in the lift, we went. Bade our farewells as they got off before me, 6th floor I think it was.
Got into the apartment and put the kettle on and had a very painful-short-wee-wee.
Just two evil Boll Weevil Ironclad black biting beetles spotted. The first one appeared in the small washing up bowl, but after I'd just filled it up with soda water and washing-soda? I emptied the pan and made sure that the insect went down the hole and I put the plug in the hole. Filled a saucepan with cold water, took it to the stove, returned to get the saucepan lid from the drainer, and blow-me; Another weevil was in the sink! Oy-yoy-yoy!
I got baby spuds into the saucepan seasoned with just sea salt.
I went on to the TFZer Facebooking.
Then the WordPress reader section.
Got the nosh finished and served up.
However, the belly pork slices had the texture of shoe leather, the taste of cardboard, and I have no idea why I ate them. I spent most of the time removing bits of gristle and lumps of solidified fat from the meat. The naughty fresh cream French Horns rounded a horrible meal off nicely though.
I was so tired and weary, I put the tray down to get up, and fell asleep, deep, blissful sleep.
About half-an-hour later, the landline bust forth, with its most unwanted ringing tone and flashing light.
It must be difficult for ordinary rational night-time sleeping tellurians, to grasp my problem with being an early-bird, morning person. Who is at his most active and alert post-prandial, and dies-off fades, loses concentration, interest and logicality early every afternoon. This is when the galimatias rules the brain. This must seem like an Alice-in-Wonderlandish situation to most folks. But it's true.
Did the last Health Checks and medication taking done.
Got settled into the rickety £300 second-hand recliner, started to watch a programme on TV, and off I drifted again.
You made me laugh out loud, Doug.
That went down well with me, I fank you!
My pleasure! I seem to be in a satiric mood this morning. Regardless, I'm happy your traps are successful. Those nasty critters deserve to die horrific deaths!
At last, I've got the Council coming to look at them, Doug. When, I don't know? Most likely while I'm at the hospital, clinic or surgery… or perhaps out shopping. Haha!
By that time, The Beasts will be evolved and big enough to carry the Council members away. Good riddance to both, eh!
I like it, Doug. Hahaha!


While investigating OPENIDM-5415, I noticed major latencies when updating ~70 conditional roles in a repo with 1000 users. The calculations performed by conditionalRoles.updateRole would result in populating a role members array with ~35 managed user instances - the ~35 managed users who were granted the role prior to the update were not present in the array, and the new grantees are present, for a diff total of ~70. The calculations performed by conditionalRoles.updateRole to generate the updated role membership array takes ~1 second. The processing of these updates in ManagedObjectSet#update took up to several minutes. The offending invocations made from ManagedObjectSet#update are validateRelationshipFields(line 485) and persistRelationships (line 506). Both can take >30 seconds to return.
1.Create a repo with 1000 users using Huck's resource creator.
2.Create a conditional role with a condition like "mail sw 'a'".
3.Update this role condition to look for a different character - e.g. b.
The really slow latencies are not always observable - usually it is only 'somewhat' slow - i.e. 7-15 seconds - but still seemingly beyond of expected latencies when updating ~100 records.


"It took me awhile to understand the vibe that makes Liquids and Solids so special," said Marla Gilman, a summer removed from her year working in the kitchen of the edgy earth-bound gastropub in Lake Placid, New York.
A graduate of the University of Vermont, the 25-year-old Ms. Gilman began her college courses focused on business and ended them in food and drink.
She went from being conscious of food by counting the calories in her mouth to getting in touch with sun soil rain through the taste of what she was eating. She learned to eat food rather than think about it.
After graduating from the College of Agriculture at UVM with a degree in Community Entrepreneurship and a minor in Food Systems, she spent the summer backpacking in Italy, Germany, and France. Her last stop was at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, where she had enrolled to dovetail with her traveling.
"I was on that side of the ocean, anyway," Marla said.
The 12-Week Certificate at Ballymaloe, a one hundred acre working organic farm west of Dublin, is an intensive immersion-cooking course. Its track proceeds from fundamental skills to increasingly practiced techniques, training its graduates to become ready-to-go cooks able to pursue a culinary career.
But, it didn't prepare her for Liquids and Solids.
It was at Ballymaloe that Marla cultivated her own palette for food.
However, since she knew little to nothing about wine, learning to drink took more patience.
After returning home she wrangled work at Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
Blue Hill in New York's Greenwich Village, melding fresh local sources with inspired preparation, has been described as a go-to dining destination since it opened in 2000. The restaurant at Stone Barns, opened four years later in the Hudson Valley, has no menus. Instead, diners are proffered a Grazing, Rooting, and Pecking bill of fare, featuring the farm's best from field and market.
In the meantime her boyfriend-in-waiting moved to the farmlands of Keeseville, on the New York side of Lake Champlain, going to work for Fledging Crow Vegetables, an organic farm based on the Community Supported Agriculture model.
Instead, Ms. Gilman made plans to move farther south, to the Keene Valley, known as the home of the High Peaks in the Adirondacks.
A week later she got a return call.
"Whoa, you don't even know me!" she said.
It was Marla Gilman's first real job in a kitchen.
In a kitchen just bigger than a minivan, serving hundreds of exactly orchestrated plates a night, she worked alongside a dishwasher, a sous chef, and the head chef.
At Blue Hill everything needed to be accounted for, from where ingredients were stored to the preparation and presentation of dishes.
"Yes, it's fine, you don't have to ask me," Tim told her.
She wasn't sure how to take the no-questions rule, although she understood he wanted it done as well as she could do it. Nor did she understand the organization of the kitchen.
"The kitchen was so disorganized," she said.
The organization of the pantry and walk-in made sense in practice to those in the know, but didn't make any sense to her, at first.
At Liquids and Solids salt and pepper could be in any one of six places.
When she asked where something was, she heard, "Stop asking me where things are." She was expected to know, like the rest of the kitchen, which was more interested in what everything was organized for, that purpose being the end result.
It was the plating of the food, and the appreciation of it in the dining room, which was the proof of the pudding of the kitchen's happenstance organization, just like electricity is organized thunder and lightning.
As Alton Brown of the Food Network has pointed out, a cook who calls himself a chef one day will probably make the worst food you have ever eaten.
She recounted days when Tim Loomis, on his day off, would nonetheless turn up in the kitchen and ask that she create a new offering.
"I'll do something with it tomorrow," he said.
We are often made trustworthy when someone puts their trust in us. It is the glue of life, like eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs.
The kitchen at Liquids and Solids was not entirely prepared for her, partly by design. She worked on a small table on top of a lowboy fridge behind a wall.
Working in close quarters with the tight-knit Liquids and Solids crew unnerved her, as well.
In the meantime Marla was learning to work quickly and safely, be organized when preparing food, and stay responsible for holding up her end.
Line cooks need to be strong, both physically and mentally. Anthony Bourdain, a chef and author, has likened the work to being in the trenches of a war. They are the foot soldiers in any functioning kitchen.
"When the rest of the world is relaxing you're working harder and going crazier than you ever have before," said Ms. Gilman. She was compelled to do her best in the face of sustained effort.
Memory separates what you know and don't know. In a kitchen it's like a rail yard with trains coming and going all the time, emptying and filling up, working their way into and out of the yard. The kitchen swing doors at restaurants like Liquids and Solids never stop revolving as wait staff tack tickets to kitchen boards and deliver orders to diners.
Two ovens and eight burners burning all the time were where liquids were brought to a boil and solids were baked, roasted, and broiled in the small kitchen.
That's why shouts of "HOT BEHIND!" are frequently heard as pots of burning liquid are being moved.
It wasn't all noses to the grindstone, however.
One night in July, on the 3rd anniversary of the opening of the restaurant, despite it being the height of their busy season, they threw a party in the kitchen, a crew from Fledging Crow helping with the work.
The life of a kitchen is making lemonade from lemons. Afterwards it's refreshing to have a lemon gingerini at the bar.
Over the course of her year at Liquids and Solids she grasped that Tim Loomis was sourcing and cooking food like what her teachers at Ballymaloe, where she earned her cooking certificate, had recommended.
She found out how many local ingredients he was using, the attention he paid to their provenance, and how good he was at seasoning them. "He came up with a sauce for fried Brussels sprouts that is awesome," she said.
Brussels sprouts have been almost universally disliked for much of their history. Parents urge their children to eat the mildly bitter vegetable, saying, "If you keep trying, you will probably like them in the end." One reason they are misunderstood is most people don't know how to cook them. At Liquids and Solids they were transformed into a godly creation that has become a staple on the menu.
But, when the winter of 2013 became the spring of 2014 Marla Gilman began to think she was ready for something new. One clue was her dreams. Marla's monsters came in the form of cremated duck and shriveled asparagus.
The work itself took a toll on her, too.
Many cooks endure sore backs from repeated heavy lifting and bone spurs in their feet from constantly standing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics they are affected by more injuries than the average American worker. Falls on slippery floors, cuts, and burns are common mishaps. Cooks suffer the highest number of work-related burns of anybody in any industry.
She also felt out of sync with her friends, especially her boyfriend.
"I felt like I needed a normal schedule. I was getting bug-eyed, and I wanted to be closer to my friends and boyfriend in Keeseville, too," she said.
As spring turned to summer she moved to Keeseville, taking over the Clover Mead Café and Farm Store, an off-the-beaten path eatery with fresh-from-the-farm flavors and creative food combinations, as well as artisanal cheese and yogurt made from their own cows.
At the farm café she is the menu planner, cook, and manager, as well as the face at the front counter.
By the end of summer the café was beginning to meet its business goals and Marla was already planning for the next year, including adding meats from Mace Chasm Farms, a neighboring farmstead butcher shop, and beer from the newly opened Ausable Brewing Company down the street.
She still eats at Liquids and Solids.
What makes the long drive worthwhile is she doesn't have to sweat like a sailor, either, to get a plate of homegrown, subversively creative, and expertly prepared food. She leaves that to somebody else.

The app developer top 5: Why PaaS is a liberating choice
by Guest Contributor in The Enterprise Cloud , in Cloud on April 11, 2013, 5:00 AM PST
Guest contributor Bill Platt cites the top 5 reasons app developers are turning to PaaS to solve some core challenges.
By Bill Platt
There's no debate on the business benefits of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). The agility, efficiency, and cost savings are well documented. But what about the direct benefits for application developers who use PaaS on a daily basis to build web apps that drive revenue and support the business? While these benefits may be less obvious, it's important to realize that PaaS is a driving force in DevOps, freeing developers to focus on their core mission of creating new, innovative apps, without the distraction of managing infrastructure and middleware required to ensure the applications run properly for end users.
In a survey conducted by Engine Yard of technical management at a wide range of companies, 64 percent of respondents said they plan to or have already implemented PaaS solutions in their businesses. The adoption rate for PaaS is growing quickly for many good reasons. From an executive perspective, they see that PaaS converts capital expenditures into variable costs, enabling them to scale, from small web apps to large-scale, enterprise applications.
For developers, the adoption of PaaS solves a number of core challenges by eliminating most of their DevOps responsibilities. Here's a look at the top five ways PaaS is liberating developers:
#1 Freedom to focus on innovation
Developers are expected to translate innovative ideas into functioning applications - quickly, efficiently and painlessly. But that's not their only job. They also keep the software stack up to date, fix bugs in the platform, install new patches, strengthen security and optimize configurations, to name just a few of their other responsibilities.
PaaS removes the obstacles of dealing with infrastructure and operations, and gives developers all the components they need to quickly and effectively create new web apps. Without these infrastructure worries, developers can use their talent and creativity to explore more new ideas; as well as test, refine, deploy and iterate new apps with speed and ease. By eliminating the painstaking work of staying current on component capabilities, versions and compatibilities, security updates and optimizing stacks, developers are freed to think about new ways to engage customers, deliver better apps and provide improved user experiences.
#2 Maintenance-free stacks and components
Developers typically spend inordinate amounts of time setting up the components and services they need to run their applications. Components must be rigorously managed, constantly updated, integrated, optimized, secured and hardened in conjunction with all of the other components that they touch. The complexity is daunting, and the opportunity for error is magnified each time an update must be made or a new component is added. As a result, developers often choose to live with outdated components for fear of causing downtime or performance problems with new software versions and patches.
With PaaS offerings, all the critically important components are maintained by experts, who constantly incorporate and test component updates and bring them into the platform when ready. Commercial grade PaaS solutions offer valuable functionality such as load balancing, fine grained controls, monitoring and alerting, database backups, high availability and more. These functions are significantly automated, freeing up the developer's time to focus on the application code itself.
#3 Pain-free deployment and scaling
When developers build a solution from scratch, they have to decide whether (1) to optimize it for the size they need now, (2) the scale they expect it to be in the future, or( 3) if they want to build in their own scaling mechanism in order to grow more dynamically.
But each choice has its own downfalls.
In the first scenario, you'll have downtime as you rebuild your platform once you outgrow the initial set-up.
In the second, you'll waste money and resources overprovisioning.
And in the third, you'll waste a lot of time trying to build a custom solution.
PaaS solutions offer a simpler, faster way to deploy and scale applications compared with these traditional do-it-yourself (DIY) options. With a click of a button, developers can instantly and seamlessly accommodate spikes in demand and ratchet back down just as easily. In addition, some PaaS providers have top-notch support teams comprised of DevOps experts that guide developers through deployments, scaling and other issues that may arise.
# 4 Enhanced performance and security
When using traditional development tools and practices, every aspect of improving app performance, scalability, and security is a complex, time-consuming task that requires specialized expertise and toolsets. PaaS is a great equalizer, giving small development teams the same components, infrastructure and scalability that only large enterprises could afford in the past.
With experts focused on tuning, optimizing, load balancing, reconfiguring and updating to address security threats in PaaS offerings, developers are freed from having to take time to do these things themselves. Security, in particular, showcases the distinct advantage of the PaaS model. With the continually growing volume and diversity of security threats, protecting against security vulnerabilities is best left to specialists. PaaS offerings provide continual security updates for individual stack components and ensure that the assembled and curated technology stacks work securely against the underlying infrastructure.
# 5 Open to new technologies
The threat of vendor lock-in continues to strike fear in the hearts of development teams, IT departments, and senior executives. If you claim allegiance to a single vendor, you typically cannot benefit from new tools and technologies from others, without compatibility issues or higher costs. And, if you acquire and manage your own infrastructure, you are essentially locked in, too, since moving to new products or vendors carries massive costs and hampers flexibility to adapt quickly to technological change.
With the PaaS model, developers are not constrained by vendor, technology or a certain set of components. By selecting a PaaS offering that is built on open technology, you can avoid the pitfalls of lock-in. These solutions allow you to use up-to-date stacks and technologies as needed.
Cut costs, eliminate risk, but never lose control
PaaS is an ideal solution for developers who want to accelerate innovation while reducing the cost, risk and complexity of the development process. The advantages of the PaaS model outlined above show how you can effectively eliminate the inefficiency and expense of trying to do everything yourself. Compared to conventional offerings, such as IaaS and managed services, PaaS enables you to transform app development and deployment from a process fraught with operational complexity to one that is streamlined and offers your company a competitive edge.

Informit article: Maker culture and possibilities for attached consumption

Arena Journal no. 47/48

According to journalist James Fallows, the first sprigs of maker culture as a social movement – often demarcated by the Maker Faire in 2006 in San Francisco, but with a longer history descending from twentieth-century hacker and countercultural movements – was a response to the resounding sentiment that 'America doesn't make things anymore'. This grave matter at the centre of con – temporary US politics, and perhaps all advanced economies, is the well-discussed deindustrialisation of manufacturing activity, which declines in inverse relation to an economy's overall wealth. This has been one explanation for the rise of the maker movement: that with the growing momentum of digital-mechanised efficiency and high-volume goods production from overseas, recent DIY fervour is a necessary pursuit of niches in low-volume, self-directed production. A closely related analysis says that the need to make in and of itself is behind the proliferation of the craft ethos, which has been so perverted in systems of mass production as to erupt defiantly now.3 With this has followed often high optimism as to the ability of makers and their communities to bypass commercial models of operation and pursue opportunities for post-capitalist consumption.

Q: how to change blackberry Z10 simulator to blackberry q10 simulator i have blackberry vmware fusion and blackberry Z10  simulator.
i need to test with my application blackberry bb Q10 simulator, how to change bb Z10 to  Q10  in mac operating system..

A: You should install the most current Simulator.  You can get this from the Downloads section of the BB10 Developer web site:
BB10 Developer Microsite
Once installed, start the Simulator.  Immediately it starts up, you will, in the 'console', get the option to choose which device you want to emulate.
Note that if you choose a keyboard device like the Q10, you may only see the 'screen' - you can use your PC's keyboard to emulate the keyboard.
