I wouldn't call North Face's ski and snowboard-oriented Freedom pant perfect, but it does get a lot right, making it quite appealing for this price point.
You'll have no trouble finding things to like about the Freedom pant, starting with its very economical price tag, and continuing with its vibrant color choices, relaxed fit options, and handsome styling. The relationship begins to sour a tad, however, when it comes to some of the functional choices The North Face has made. Chief offenders include front zippers that are awkwardly placed, and an always-open vented gaiter within the boot cuff.
What's wrong with the zips? They seem to be positioned in the least-easy to operate angle.
Whether you're fishing out your lip balm or just trying to close a pocket, the zips require two-handed operation (particularly when they're brand new) thanks to that strange angle and a backward-oriented flap.
Why would The North Face place the zippers in such an unusual orientation? Well, they do look good that way. I admit I am willing to make small or even large sacrifices in the name of fashion (my adoring fans deserve no less), so I'll forgive the zippers.
However, there is also the matter of the 'Chimney Vented' cuff to contend with. The North Face markets the vent as a performance innovation: with the Freedom pant, the inner cuff/gaiter, which ordinarily seals your boot cuff against snow and wind, has a mesh upper. This system provides considerable ventilation around your lower legs, particularly if you open up the side zips.
But do I really want an air-conditioned shell for Alpine skiing? Typically when I'm riding chairlifts I'm either basking in a sweatshirt, or else I've got my fingers curled up in my gloves and my toes wiggling in my boots to stay warm. A natural breeze about my calves is about the last thing I figure I need. That's my opinion, at least. Maybe there are large numbers of hot-legged skiers out there?
Okay, as I continue to wear and use the Freedom Pant, I am finding myself less bothered by the venting, except when I'm riding a chair on cold and windy days—air will come up from underneath and cool your legs. As for the pocket zips, they seem to be easing up a tad; I'm able to open them now with one hand.


The New South Wales government has quietly dropped plans to reform the state's racial vilification laws, prompting anger from Jewish leaders, ethnic groups and the Labor opposition.
The state government had previously pledged to fix the laws, which are widely seen as deficient. The laws, set out in section 20D of the Anti-Discrimination Act, have not led to a single successful prosecution in 30 years, despite examples of incitement to racial violence.
The former attorney general Gabrielle Upton conceded the laws were not working in 2015 and promised to introduce a bill early last year to strengthen and streamline section 20D.
She did so after the director of public prosecutions was left unable to charge Ismail Al-Wahwah, the leader of the fringe Islamic movement Hizb ut-Tahrir, after he described Jews as the "hidden evil" and called for a "jihad against the Jews".
But no bill was ever introduced.
The current attorney general, Mark Speakman, has confirmed to Guardian Australia that there is now no intention for reform.
The position has outraged Labor's shadow attorney general, Paul Lynch. Lynch said change had been blocked by "rightwing ideologues in the Liberal party".
An alliance of 31 ethnic community groups and prominent individuals – including the Indigenous leader Warren Mundine – formed in 2015 to lobby for change to the "weak and ineffective" laws.
A spokesperson for the Keep NSW Safe campaign, Vic Alhadeff, said it was "a great disappointment" that the NSW government had not honoured its commitment to reform.
"Just recently a religious leader addressed a rally in Sydney and called for the murder of people of another faith – yet the law did nothing," Alhadeff said. "Worse, by failing to act, it effectively told him he was free to do it again.
"It is because of such incidents that so many communities combined forces, from Armenians, Chinese, Greeks, Hindus and Copts to Indians, Assyrians, Muslims, Jews, Christians and Vietnamese.
In 2013, a cross-party parliamentary committee recommended that procedural changes be made to make 20D more effective. That included improving the timeframes for lodging and referring complaints, allowing the president of the anti-discrimination board to refer serious racial vilification complaints to police and authorising police to prepare briefs of evidence for the director of public prosecutions on racial vilification responses.
Lynch said the government had ignored the recommendations.
The Federation of Indian Associations of NSW president Yadu Singh said he "strongly believes that NSW government should act and fix 20D without further delay".
"There is a strong feeling that the actions in regards to 20D are overdue," Singh said.
Alhadeff is also the chief executive of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies. Speaking on behalf of that organisation, he said the board "cannot work out what the government is afraid of", given the near universal support for change.
"The only people in NSW who don't want to make the promotion and advocacy of violence on the basis of race illegal appear to be in government," Alhadeff said.

ROBINSON: Obama must curb intelligence agencies' power
The CIA now admits that it spied on a Senate investigation into the agency's shameful program of secret detention and torture. Do we need any more proof that the spooks are out of control? An internal "accountability board" will look into the incident, an agency statement said, and might recommend "potential disciplinary measures" or even "steps to address systemic issues."
Somehow, I don't feel reassured.
You'll recall when Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., alleged in March that the CIA was rummaging through her panel's computer files, CIA Director John Brennan scoffed. "I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong," he said. Oops. An internal probe discovered that spying and monitoring and hacking did take place.
Brennan reportedly apologized to Feinstein and Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., the committee's ranking Republican — both of whom have been among the CIA's staunchest supporters. The White House has taken a lah-di-dah attitude toward the revelation that the agency charged with spying on our foreign enemies instead trained its focus on the official work of our elected officials.
After 9/11, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney gave the intelligence agencies instructions and latitude that tested — and, in some cases, exceeded — legal, constitutional and moral strictures. For the National Security Agency, this led to a program that kept track of the private communications of millions of Americans. For the CIA, it involved holding terror suspects at secret overseas prisons and subjecting some to torture.
Immediately after taking office, President Barack Obama ended what the Bush administration called "enhanced interrogation techniques." But he decided against a comprehensive investigation to determine exactly what happened. The CIA, meanwhile, had been busy covering its tracks. In 2005, it destroyed videotapes of waterboarding sessions.
The Senate Intelligence Committee decided to conduct the investigation no one else wanted to touch. One question it set out to answer was if the claim that torture produced valuable intelligence was accurate.
From the beginning, the committee had difficulty wresting information from the agency. Secure computer networks were eventually set up so that documents could be vetted, redacted if necessary and then transferred to committee investigators. Earlier this year, Brennan complained to Feinstein that her investigators had improperly gained access to an internal CIA review that cast doubt on the torture program's effectiveness. Feinstein responded that the document was properly obtained — and that the CIA could not know the committee had the document unless it had hacked into the Senate investigators' computer network.
This is precisely what happened, the CIA now acknowledges. And there's more: The CIA also hacked into the emails of some of the committee's Democratic staff members.
Sen. Mark Udall stated the obvious: "This grave misconduct not only is illegal, but it violates the U.S. Constitution's requirement of separation of powers." He called on Brennan to resign. This is bigger than Brennan. At issue is whether a vastly expanded and empowered U.S. intelligence establishment will be brought under civilian control and oversight.
Bush and Cheney created a monster. Obama had better tame it.

Oamul (卤猫/Lu Mao) is a 27-year-old illustrator based in Xiamen, China. He's animated in person, quick to laugh and constantly bolting out of his chair to show me something he's working on or offer me snacks. He's also a big deal: since starting to illustrate seriously just five years ago, he's amassed 29,000 fans on Chinese micro-blogging platform Weibo and 80,000 followers on Instagram while publishing three creator-owned books. Along the way, he's also worked on a number of high-profile creative collaborations — illustrating novels, making stamps for the U.N., drawing a Google Doodle for Chinese New Year, and creating a sticker set for WeChat.
Oamul's work — mostly paintings and watercolors, but also GIFs and longer animations and even the occasional hand-carved sculpture — is lush and warm, sometimes portraying characters in (super)natural wonderlands and sometimes just recreating his surroundings through a soft lens. His work is emblematic of 小清新 (xiao qing xin) style, a Chinese twee-esque aesthetic that embraces childlike innocence and natural fibers; the Little Prince as interpreted through a Scandinavian toy store.
Last September, I talked with Oamul in his apartment-turned-studio to talk about what it's like to make a living as an illustrator and the creative squad he's assembled along the way. The following is selected from that conversation, and translated into English from the original Chinese.
What's your background? Did you always want to be an illustrator?
I always liked drawing when I was younger, but I had no idea it was something I could do full-time. I didn't even know the word for "illustrator" (插画家) when I started! My only official training comes from those run-of-the-mill art classes in high school — the kind where you learn basic watercolors and sketching, and then there are tests.
I studied interior design in college, and it wasn't until after I graduated and moved to Xiamen that I ended up befriending a lot of illustrators and started to draw again. That was around 2010 or 2011: I was working as an animator at a company that made little "fight fight kill kill" Flash games at the time, and in my free time I just started doodling and painting and posting the results on Douban (CX: Douban is a Chinese web forum that has a similar community-feel to Tumblr). A friend told me that my work was good enough to maybe earn money off of, so I just started trying it out. Eventually, publishers started contacting me and asking to put my work in magazines. In 2014, I quit my job and started illustrating full-time.
I'd actually spent about a year preparing before I quit. They knew that I wasn't an impulsive person, so they supported my decision.
Oamul, 2010: a painting of his ancestral hometown of Ningde, Fujian.
What are your major influences as an illustrator?
Nature has always been a big inspiration. My ancestral hometown is a small town in the mountains, so growing up I spent a lot of time around mountains and plants. These days, I like to pick places with really unique natural landscapes when I go traveling.
I've also always really liked an artist named Oliver Jeffers — his books have had a big impact on my style.
How do you support yourself as a full-time illustrator?
For me, it's a combination of editorial client work and selling my own merchandise and products through Taobao and other places.
I'd like for more of my money to be made through my merchandise, but it's a lot of work. I just hired a part-time assistant who comes on nights and weekends to help me sell and ship stuff, but before then I had to work on every aspect of the merchandising by myself, from design to production to fulfillment.
And then there's production: even though there are a lot of manufacturers and printers in Xiamen because of all the art schools here, it can be tricky to find places that really care about quality. To be honest, most of my customers probably don't care whether the colors on a print are just right, but I have to have my own standards!
So, for now, most of my income still comes from my editorial work. I do some work internationally, but most of my clients are still Chinese companies — the international market for illustrators is much more competitive and the prices are standardized. Within China, companies care a lot more about cross-promotion, so they're willing to give me better rates for having a big fanbase on Weibo, for example.
I don't have a very disciplined routine when it comes to drawing — I always want to draw, so I'm always drawing. When I'm starting work on a new piece, I spend a lot of time zoning out and imagining how I want it to look in my mind before I start drafting. Most of my process is zoning out!
You also managed to go from making drawings online to publishing a book—how did that work?
My first book, I Found a Star, was actually kind of accidental — I was drawing lots of little stories and sharing them on Weibo, kind of as a loose series of online comics. Eventually an agent got in touch and said I should collect them into a volume, so I started exploring that option and put out the book in 2012. In 2015 I published my second book, Feribo, which is about a fox who falls in love with a rabbit and has to become more carrot-like. Feribo's like my son, and I'm still focused on telling his story and making him more popular as a character.
Above: Short film / book trailer for Feribo, created by Oamul Lu.
What other platforms do you put your work on?
I put my work everywhere, just in case. These days, my work gets the most attention on my WeChat subscription account and on Weibo.
Of the foreign platforms, I find Tumblr useful because I can follow a lot of illustrators and see their work. I also occasionally go on Vimeo to find beautiful animations, but both of these sites are sometimes blocked in China so I have to VPN out to surf them. Behance is useful mostly for finding foreign clients.
Do you have a community of illustrators you talk to and share work with?
Thanks to the web, all of the illustrators in my general scene online know each other. But it's not just illustrators who are part of the creative community — it's fashion designers, authors, photographers, etc. who all share a certain aesthetic and set of interests. We all started out as strangers who had a mutual appreciation for each other's work, but now we're close friends and collaborators. When I travel to their cities I'll hang out with them, or sometimes we'll organize a group trip just to see each other!
Even just in the last five years, it's become a lot easier to pursue illustration as a career in China. When I was in college, you could study design but not illustration, but now it's a separate track of study at lots of colleges. I have no idea how many full-time working illustrators there are in China these days, but it's definitely more and more.
What kind of collaborations have you worked on with this creative friend group?
I like working on physical products in addition to my own art, especially when I'm collaborating with friends I admire. A few years ago, I worked on a line with [Xiamen-based fashion brand] Uncle Mo. I've also produced mugs with another Xiamen-based design brand, Yizhi — I think their designs are really good, and they've figured out how to produce high-quality stuff and distribute it around the country.
Oamul modeling looks from the Feribo apparel line, his collaboration with Xiamen-based fashion brand Uncle Mo.
What are you working on these days? What's next?
I've been kind of lazy recently! Mostly, taking a break after my last book to work on my own stuff and not working for money. It's still way more fun to draw for myself, of course — client work always comes with limitations.
As for the future, I'm mostly interested in continuing to elevate my art. I'm now working on putting together my first solo exhibition. On the business side — I believe that making money is necessary for giving me even more freedom to draw, because if you don't have the means to survive, you can't create. So I'll keep doing the things I need to do to make money.
And anyway, if I stopped doing client work, I wouldn't be able to travel! I went to Iceland last year for the second time and drove to the glacier lake and back. It's so beautiful but the water is smelly!

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that a diploid organism passes a randomly selected allele for a trait to its offspring, such that the offspring receives one allele from each parent.
Each gamete acquires one of the two alleles as chromosomes separate into different gametes during meiosis.
Heterozygotes, which posess one dominant and one recessive allele, can receive each allele from either parent and will look identical to homozygous dominant individuals; the Law of Segregation supports Mendel's observed 3:1 phenotypic ratio.
Mendel proposed the Law of Segregation after observing that pea plants with two different traits produced offspring that all expressed the dominant trait, but the following generation expressed the dominant and recessive traits in a 3:1 ratio.
Observing that true-breeding pea plants with contrasting traits gave rise to F1 generations that all expressed the dominant trait and F2generations that expressed the dominant and recessive traits in a 3:1 ratio, Mendel proposed the law of segregation. The law of segregation states that each individual that is a diploid has a pair of alleles (copy) for a particular trait. Each parent passes an allele at random to their offspring resulting in a diploid organism. The allele that contains the dominant trait determines the phenotype of the offspring. In essence, the law states that copies of genes separate or segregate so that each gamete receives only one allele.
The Law of Segregation states that alleles segregate randomly into gametes: When gametes are formed, each allele of one parent segregates randomly into the gametes, such that half of the parent's gametes carry each allele.
For the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross, the following three possible combinations of genotypes could result: homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessive. Because heterozygotes could arise from two different pathways (receiving one dominant and one recessive allele from either parent), and because heterozygotes and homozygous dominant individuals are phenotypically identical, the law supports Mendel's observed 3:1 phenotypic ratio. The equal segregation of alleles is the reason we can apply the Punnett square to accurately predict the offspring of parents with known genotypes.
The physical basis of Mendel's law of segregation is the first division of meiosis in which the homologous chromosomes with their different versions of each gene are segregated into daughter nuclei. The behavior of homologous chromosomes during meiosis can account for the segregation of the alleles at each genetic locus to different gametes. As chromosomes separate into different gametes during meiosis, the two different alleles for a particular gene also segregate so that each gamete acquires one of the two alleles. In Mendel's experiments, the segregation and the independent assortment during meiosis in the F1 generation give rise to the F2 phenotypic ratios observed by Mendel. The role of the meiotic segregation of chromosomes in sexual reproduction was not understood by the scientific community during Mendel's lifetime.

Q: Is it possible to combine RemoteAddrValve and an Authentication valve in Tomcat? I'd like to implement container-based access control with Apache Tomcat.  I would like to grant access to my web service either by IP address or by using one of the built-in authenticator valves (e.g. FORM, BASIC, etc.).
The usage scenario is to allow access from some static server IP addresses or by some users supplying some authentication credentials (preferably over TLS) if they aren't within those trusted IP ranges.
Is it possible to combine the actions of two valves in this way?  If not what would be a good/quick/simple way to go about this?

A: No, Tomcat does not support this out of the box. You will have to write your own Authenticator to do this kind of thing.
For example, since you want to combine an existing Authenticator (let's say the FormAuthenticator for challenging a user for their username and password via an HTML form) but also allow a bypass for users coming from an IP range, then simply:

*

*Subclass the FormAuthenticator

*Override the authenticate(Request,HttpServletResponse) method to

*

*Check the IP request's address; if match, set a Principal on the request and return true

*If no IP match, call super.authenticate(request,response)
Have a good look at how FormAuthenticator.authenticate does what it does, and you'll easily be able to deal with the Principal as described above.
Remember that, if you only have an IP address, you won't know which user or role to choose. So you'll probably need something like "IPauthUser" in whatever collection of roles is appropriate for that user.

Home 2016 What Happened at the Nevada Democratic County Conventions?
What Happened at the Nevada Democratic County Conventions?
Over the weekend, Democrats in Nevada held their county-level conventions which is part of their process to select delegates which will head to the Nevada state convention, and eventually, to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. As it turns out, Bernie Sanders will likely walk away with more delegates in Nevada than Hillary Clinton will, despite Clinton having won the caucus back in Februrary.
Bernie Sanders scored a victory at Nevada's county-level Democratic conventions on Saturday, even though he lost to Hillary Clinton in the state's February caucuses.
Conventions held throughout Nevada yielded 2,124 Sanders-supporting delegates who will head to the state convention on May 14. That accounts for 55 percent of the total delegates.
Hillary Clinton earned 1,722 delegates, or 45 percent of the total.
The upset comes as many delegates elected in February didn't show up for the county events. In Clark County, less than half of the nearly 9,000 delegates elected at caucuses turned up on Saturday, according to the Las Vegas Sun.
The claim that Sanders has now "won" the Nevada caucus is not entirely true, Hillary was still the victor in that contest. However, in a manner similar to the Iowa caucus, the state parties in Nevada select their delegates in several steps which goes from caucus night, to the county conventions, to the state convention, to the national convention. The voting that happens on caucus night is just the first of many steps before the delegate selection is final.
The truth here is that Bernie Sanders was better organized, and perhaps his supporters were simply more inclined to show up at the county conventions, and he could come away with winning the majority of delegates from Nevada. In a race this tight, as with the Republican side, some battles over delegates are being fought on the county level because every single delegate matters this year.
We won't know the exact number of delegates won by each candidate until the Nevada Democratic Party holds its state convention on May 14th.
Next articleWho's to Blame for Candidate Choices?
These caucuses are bizarre political rituals that represent no one. All states should allow all of their residents the opportunity to vote for their party's nominee.
The states would have to take control of the process, which not all states want to do since they'd be paying for the actual primary, etc… Plus, the parties in certain states (on both sides) will fight it because they like staying in control of the process.
I agree though, caucuses are ripe for mischief and often make it harder for the broader electorate to vote since they take place between certain hours of the day instead of an all-day primary vote.
I would agree if there was a truly informed electorate. You can't have a discussion with most of the inner city and suburbanites because they are so self important and full of media propoganda. They've forgotten how to think, they only react when it is too late and then WHINE. I suppose I see a lack of common sense in their arguments and positions on sand hills. They thoroughly believe they have concrete under their feet and they can't see how far they've already submerged. You can tell them they are up to their neck in it and they tell you they are still breathing, but they've forgotten the perspective, they are standing on their heads.
That's just the beginning of Hillary's descent. Tomorrow she'll lose Wisconsin, then NY, NJ and most other states. And appropriate demise to an evil creature.
The only new news Hillary Clinton will make will be by end of year — when she finally meets her just ends and goes to jail!
Comprehend this stance — ABC: Anyone But Clinton!
Lol. Hillary won NY. Most other states? Lmao. She's leading in pledged delegates AND popular votes. Spoken like a delusional Bernbot.
Where is the cry for democracy from the Bernie crowd? Hypocrisy.
Instead of accusing them of hypocrisy, work with them to un-rig the superdelegate system and the various ways that new Democrats or independents can't participate in the primary at the same time as this. The rules are 90% favoring the establishment candidate, and 10% favoring the zealous outsider (whose supporters will stick out long caucus processes). I think you could convince them to go with better democratic systems pretty easily.
The super-delegate system is not rigged; this is a phony attempt by Sanders to rig the system for himself. Each of the delegates are entitled to make their own decision. The Democratic Party does not require them to pick anybody. Independents are not Democrats and between 28% and 40% have indicated that they would vote for Trump; as such they were actually voting for Bernie to prevent Hillary becoming the nominee. Democratic systems should not be based on fraud.
Sanders supporters who are also organizers sent Clinton delegates the wrong information intentionally and literally blocked people from going in. Voter suppression?


The aim of this document is to get your hands-on a Joomla! site by showing you how an Article can be simply modified. It is one of a series of documents introducing Joomla! version 1.5.
An Article is the main way that content is displayed on a Joomla! site.
A collection of Articles are the building blocks of any Joomla! Web site and are the main way that content is displayed. So in learning to edit and manipulate Articles, you are learning about Joomla!
to have access to a Joomla! site with an Article to edit. This means that your site needs to have at least one Article on it. If you chose to install the sample data, there will be dozens of articles available.
to login with a username with an appropriate level of permission. This means that your site has to have a way of logging in to the Front-end, either using a Login Form or a Login Menu Item. If you chose to install the sample data, the Login Form will be available.
This article does not explain how to edit an article from the Back-end.
Top tip - don't try to be too ambitious to start with unless you have a lot of experience with this kind of editing.
Login using your username and password, which must have permission to edit Articles.
Find the page you want to edit using the Menu.
An orange pencil icon means that it is published and any information you enter can be seen by others (with the right access rights) as soon as you save it.
A blue pencil means that the information is not published and can only be seen by those with high level access rights. Those with standard Author permissions will not be able to view (and thus edit) unpublished information.
This will open the editing screen. In some editors, this is called "Submit an Article"
If you are using the 'localhost' example, the editor is a very simple one. Most sites install a better editor - such as JCE - so what you actually see will vary. So too will the range of editing that you can do.
All editors have small icons for the various functions needed. They are less sophisticated than a word processor but the principles are the same.
Underneath the Editor window there is a section called Publishing. This has details about where the Article is located and who can read it. There is more about this part in the document on creating an Article.
The icons along the top of the editing window enable you to format text and do other things. The standard keyboard short-cuts also work - (for example Ctrl-b makes highlighted text bold).
Different editors have different choices.
The HELP button tells you about the editor - the JCE one is quite extensive: Tiny tells you very little.
If you are using the sample data in 'localhost' on your own machine - you can make alterations and save them. (You could keep the original text by copying it and pasting it to a text file).
Edit the Article called 'We are Volunteers' on the Front page of the sample site.
Note that part of the screen displays the content of the article and with a box containing the title. The text in both can be altered.
There is HTML code behind the text so if you are experienced with HTML you may find it interesting to look at the code. Some editors allow you to Toggle between the text and the code. Some have an icon (sometimes called HTML or Edit Code). You can edit the code and then Update the WISIWIG edit screen. Be warned that the code does not always translate into text as you might expect.
When you have done some editing, click on one of these. The Cancel button reverts to the previous information.
It is good practice to save frequently incase something goes wrong.
Alter the title. Make sure it is meaningful as it will appear in some menu lists and if the page is printed.
This is a simple document with only one paragraph.
Add a few extra words to show what happens.
Sometimes the layout on the screen looks a bit different from that in the editor - the editor is not a word processor.
These are much used in presenting content intended to be read on the screen. They are a useful way of emphasising things and of breaking the screen into manageable sections.
You can highlight parts of the text and add text much as you would in any editor/ email screen.
Editors also have underlines and strike through icons.
If you are using one of the other editors, you will also be able to alter the colour of the text of words, as well as the background colours.
If you have some experience using HTML, view the HTML code. This will let you see the mark-up that the editor is using for the colours and the emphasis..
Headings are very useful in making text easier to read on the screen. Even the simple editor has a facility for a few levels of heading. The display on the screen may look different from the display on the page, so it is worth trying a few headings in order to choose the right one.
This is using the JCE editor. Here you can do some simple formatting of headers and paragraphs using a pull-down list. Note also that you can change the Fonts and the Font sizes.
Place the cursor in one of the words in the heading (or select the whole heading).
A plain paragraph is also selected in this way.
There are four icons (similar to those on word processors) which enable you to change the alignment of the paragraphs.
Change the format on one of the paragraphs to demonstrate the effect.
Change fonts and font sizes.
This is allowed on the more sophisticated editors - but if you are just beginning to edit Articles - keep it simple!
This uses 'copy and Paste' to copy text (and images) somewhere else but keeps the original in the same place.. The facililty to 'cut and paste' which moves something from one place to another. Most people who have used a keyboard have done this - but it is worth a go here to assure yourselves that it can be done.
use the keyboard short cuts - Ctrl-C for copy, Ctrl-X for cut and Ctrl-V for paste. They are more reliable than the icons.
Press Ctrl-C for copy or Ctrl-X for cut. If the text is cut - it is removed when you press the keys.
You can copy/paste text from a word processor to the editor. If you do this, you will probably need to alter some of the layouts, but this does depend on how complex the layouts were in the original document. Keep it simple to start with!
This has introduced editing facilities and demonstrated that you can get an Article to have a good appearance using headings, bullet points and other formatting using the icons at the top of the editing screen.
If you want to create your own content - go next to the document about creating your own article.
If you want to learn more about altering content - there are other documents about including more varied content - such as tables, images and links to other pages or web sites.

Civil War cyclorama being moved
2017-02-15 - Visitors view the Atlanta Cyclorama, the colossal Civil War painting in Atlanta. The painting depicting the Battle of Atlanta from the American Civil War will soon be moved from the building where it has been displayed for nearly a century. Associated Pr
ATLANTA — A colossal panoramic painting depicting the Battle of Atlanta from the Civil War will be lifted by cranes from the building where it has been for nearly a century and then trucked to its new location.
Moving the 6-ton Cyclorama — one of the world's largest paintings — from Grant Park to the Atlanta History Center across town marks a major milestone in its restoration, historians said.
"We're on the cusp of a historic moment," said Gordon Jones, a military historian and curator at the Atlanta History Center.
Crews began the delicate process Thursday, and the move was expected to take two days. Those in charge say they're using extreme caution to ensure the 15,000-squarefoot painting is not damaged.
The painting's vivid scenes of charging soldiers, rearing horses, battle flags and broken bodies stretch the length of a football field when it is fully unfurled and on display.
"The Battle of Atlanta is one of the crucial moments in the campaign that really determined the outcome of the war," Jones said. "What happened here in Atlanta is absolutely critical to the outcome of the country we know today."
Before the move, the painting was cut at a seam into two pieces. Both pieces were rolled onto gigantic, custom-built steel spools, each taller than a four-story building.
Holes were carved in the concrete roof of the old Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum. Cranes will lift these spools of painted history through the roof, and then onto waiting trucks for the trip nine miles north to a brand new building at the Atlanta History Center, spokesman Howard Pousner said.
The artwork, created by the American Panorama Co. in Milwaukee in the 1880s, is one of only two such panoramas on display in the nation. The other one is at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.
The Atlanta painting had long been housed in a corner of the city zoo, something of a historic oddity in a city whose modern persona is more entwined with civil rights than the Civil War.
But before the age of movies, the panoramas offered a 360-degree view of battles and other historic events, and their popularity gave rise to a lucrative business for painters. The American Panorama Co. hired many German immigrants to paint the giant scenes at the Milwaukee company.
Now, a collection of 140-year-old diaries written by one of the main painters — Friedrich Wilhelm Heine — is providing new insights about their visit to Atlanta to make sketches for the Cyclorama, and their return to Milwaukee in a frantic effort to meet a deadline.
"His diaries are essentially the only first-hand accounts of any of the painters who worked in Milwaukee at the time," said Kevin Abing, an archivist at the Milwaukee County Historical Society.
Art historian Michael Kutzer, a painter who speaks German, is working to decipher Heine's German diary entries. The intent is to give historians their first look at the step-by-step process of creat- ing the mammoth panoramic paintings.
In summaries provided to The Associated Press, Heine describes a hurried effort to complete the Atlanta artwork on time, despite his painful battle with "frozen toes."
He recounts how the painters made sketches in Atlanta atop a 25- foot scaffold over railroad tracks, despite one painter being afraid to climb it.
The diary entries also show that the painters didn't always get along. Heine complained about the tardiness of one painter on his crew, and how the Austrians "chatter more than they are working." Once, after a few beers, a painter became drunk and angry at Heine "and entire Amerika."
After a lengthy restoration process, the "Battle of Atlanta" will go on display again next year in a new 23,000-square-foot building at the Atlanta History Center, officials said.
A viewing platform rising 12 feet above the gallery floor will offer "the sense of being enveloped by the 360-degree experience," history center officials said.
The new exhibit will also include the "diorama" featuring 128 plaster figures that will continue to be displayed in the foreground of the painting as they have been since the 1930s, Jones said.
Among those plaster figures is a dead Union soldier with Clark Gable's face. It was created after Gable and other "Gone With The Wind" cast members visited the Cyclorama during the film's 1939 Atlanta premier, Jones said. While visiting, the actor made an offhand comment to Atlanta Mayor William B. Hartsfield about his likeness being included in the display, Jones said.
"So Hartsfield contacted the guys who had done the plaster figures, and they promptly came up with a figure of a dead Union solider lying in the grass with the face of Clark Gable and a big bullet hole in his chest," Jones said.

Sam Harris: You Are My Data
by Matt Sheedy
As a scholar of religions, I find your arguments about religion both frustrating and wrongheaded, which is a sentiment that is shared by most of my colleagues, though often for different reasons. Your recent post, "Why I Don't Criticize Israel?" is but one example in a litany of arguments where you reify (I know you don't use this term so I've provided a link) the concept "religion" in such a way that it functions like some contagion infecting all those who come into contact with it, unable to escape the grasp of its most virulent strains (read: literal interpretations of scripture).
Having read most of your books along-side the other so-called "New Atheists," it became apparent to me as early as The End of Faith (2004) that you were the most reactionary among them, endorsing torture and writing the following remarkable lines in Letter to a Christian Nation, (2008) which I was recently humoured to see annotated in my personal copy with the letters, WTF?
If the basic tenets of Christianity are true, then there are some very grim surprises in store for nonbelievers like myself. … So let us be honest with ourselves: in the fullness of time, one side is really going to win this argument, and the other side is really going to lose. (5)
Since this time, to your credit, you have put your money where your mouth is, earning a PhD. in cognitive neuroscience in 2009, which you drew upon in your argument for a scientific morality in The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values (2011). More recently, you have doubled-down on this proposition with the release of Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion. (2014)
I would imagine that most scholars of religions do not object to your quest to find a scientific basis for morality per se, since theories of mind and cognition are but one of many tools in the collective toolbox of the study of religions. Notwithstanding some of your arguments on topics such as neuroscience and free will, however, you do not provide any sort of theory that we can take seriously. For a brief overview of the kind of work that we do, I'd suggest starting with this concise taxonomy of scholars of religion by Travis Cooper. But I digress.
In "Why I Don't Criticize Israel?" you raise a variety of points in defense of this question, including qualifying notes that you place in brackets in an attempt to nuance your previous statements on this topic, such as the following:
[Note: Again, I realize that not all Palestinians support Hamas. Nor am I discounting the degree to which the occupation, along with collateral damage suffered in war, has fueled Palestinian rage. But Palestinian terrorism (and Muslim anti-Semitism) is what has made peaceful coexistence thus far impossible.]
It is not my aim to engage you here on your arguments relating to the conflict at hand, but rather to offer my thoughts on how they bear upon the ways that we talk about religion. While the claims that you make about Israelis and Jews, Palestinians and Muslims are selective and limited (as I'm sure you'd acknowledge, after all it is a blog post), they nonetheless constitute claims that can be reflected on and challenged with alternative facts and additional evidence, which can then be re-interpreted, re-evaluated and revised if found to be compelling. As with any conflict, I endorse the ideal of taking up as many critical perspectives as possible in order to better grasp the messy world of politics and I encourage any honest efforts to do so.
When it comes to the question of religion, however, your reasoning comes up against a wall, which muddies your ability to clarify what is at stake in this and many other situations that involve groups that identify as religious (note the displacement of "religion" here, as we are still debating whether it is best understood as a first- or a second-order category). Curiously, you seem to make one exception to your general rule, which is worth quoting in full:
There are something like 15 million Jews on earth at this moment; there are a hundred times as many Muslims. I've debated rabbis who, when I have assumed that they believe in a God that can hear our prayers, they stop me mid-sentence and say, "Why would you think that I believe in a God who can hear prayers?" So there are rabbis—conservative rabbis—who believe in a God so elastic as to exclude every concrete claim about Him—and therefore, nearly every concrete demand upon human behavior. And there are millions of Jews, literally millions among the few million who exist, for whom Judaism is very important, and yet they are atheists. They don't believe in God at all. This is actually a position you can hold in Judaism, but it's a total non sequitur in Islam or Christianity.
You suggest that those who identify as Jewish are, on the whole, capable of aligning their beliefs in such a way that is compatible with modern, liberal ideas and that "Judaism" permits its members to hold a dual-membership in "atheism." Putting aside the rather sticky question of Jewish identity and where "its" authority comes from, it is certainly true that there are many more people who identify as Muslim than those who identify as Jewish and that the inflation of such identities can have negative consequences, not least of which is the reliance on certain political theologies as a primary lens for interpreting events in the social world, which sometimes aligns with anti-Semitic sentiments (anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiments also abound, I might add, though I'd wager that you'd disagree that holding the second of these positions is problematic). This no doubt plays into the existential insecurity of Israel, which is surrounded by countries where such theologies and sentiments regrettably persist (and again, the reverse persists in many other countries too, including the US and Israel).
While you argue that Jews are able, on the whole, to take a self-critical stance on "God" so that the (scriptural) claims about "Him" don't have much of an effect upon human behavior, you also suggest that the Hebrew Bible is the worst among equals:
Let me remind you that parts of Hebrew Bible—books like Leviticus and Exodus and Deuteronomy—are the most repellent, the most sickeningly unethical documents to be found in any religion. They're worse than the Koran. They're worse than any part of the New Testament. But the truth is, most Jews recognize this and don't take these texts seriously. It's simply a fact that most Jews and most Israelis are not guided by scripture—and that's a very good thing.
Let's assume for a moment that both of your claims are correct—that parts of the Hebrew Bible are highly unethical and that the majority of those who identify as Jewish are not guided by them. Why might this be the case? What historical, political and socio-cultural reasons might account for such a shift? What variations do we find within distinct sub-cultures within, say, Israeli society or in diaspora communities in different parts of the world that might help to explain these variations in the outward performance of Jewish identities as it relates to scriptural beliefs and practices?
While I know that many of my colleagues in the study of religions, especially those who conduct fieldwork, would object to the claim that similar "atheist" and "secular" beliefs and practices (though there's some magic in those concepts too, no?) don't also occur in many communities that identify as, say, Christian or Muslim, that is somewhat beside the point. I wonder though, if "Jews" can adopt such a position despite their "sickeningly unethical documents" then why not "Muslims" too? There appears to be a logical inconsistency here.
What you don't seem to understand is that "religion" is not a material object like a table or a chair that can be classified in a generic sort of way, nor is it a condition, like the Ebola virus, that can be diagnosed and cured (or not cured) of its symptoms. It is, rather, a discursive concept with multiple variations. Most in my field, in fact, have been talking about it in the plural for some time now (e.g., Judaisms, Christianities, Islams), while others have done a fair bit of leg work identifying its linguistic and cultural roots in the Euro-West (with a healthy dose of Protestant theological influence, I might add) and in showing the ways in which dominant classifications of "religion" have been applied to a wide variety of cultural practices, which, of course, are constantly changing. Frankly, we have a tough time keeping up with it and are not at all clear on how to square the circle.
Because of the political nature of any field of study that reports its findings and engages with the general public, many scholars of religions get sucked into debates on the ideas and representations that go by the name "religion" (myself included), which sometimes distracts us from examining its unstable meaning and compels us to engage directly with its practical uses. What tends to get the most attention and carry the day in the popular public sphere (and this won't surprise you, Sam) are those loud, dominant voices that claim to offer a definitive representation of this or that (or all) "religion," for or against as the case may be. As many scholars have pointed out, this field of representations constitutes the discourse about religion, which, as I noted above, varies widely across time and space.
Becoming aware of this discourse, charting its themes and variations, is what some of us (though not all) in the study of religion are trying to do, which we hope will add more theoretical clarity to the field and, perhaps, may even have some positive social effects.
Once you take this bitter pill, Sam, you'll quickly realize that there is no stable object, across cultures and across centuries, that can be placed into the tidy little box that you call religion, but only groups and individuals who identify what this or that tradition—your Buddhisms, your Hinduisms, your Islams—that we have come to call religions, who take up beliefs and practices in literally countless variations, though often with certain commonalities, to be sure. It is this problem that many of us are trying to get a handle on and until you realize this "fact," you are my data.

Devra Wiseman says:
I'm not a student of religion so please forgive any crass misunderstanding. I found your article most interesting, Matt, and wondered how it might apply to me. I'm 'Jewish', by birth and indeed by cultural background. However, I'm one of the Jewish atheists, in fact I'm a rabid atheist. Really, I'm ethnically a Jew. Ethnicity is horribly mixed in with the whole Jewish/Muslim thing. Is it simply one of the 'variations' you mention? Typically the early pioneers settling in Palestine and founding kibbutzim were very secular. Yet one of my children, NOT brought up with any Judaism in the background, very left-wing and secular neverthless identifies as being 'Jewish'. And no, Judaism (which to me is the religion) is not important to me. Another set of 'religions' that's still causing trouble in the UK is Catholicism and Protestantism. I hazard that they couldn't care less about each other's beliefs, but have very strong political differences that have developed over the centuries from more religious points of view. I suppose also there are cultural differences, uniforms and so on.
I bringall this up not to thrust my personal matters before you and your readers, but rather to point out that it's the 'non-religious' side of attitudes and beliefs that fuel the ghastly conflicts that are going on around us. The actual 'religions' need to be put to one side, and the roles of culture, politics, ethnicity etc. need to be examined on their own. Otherwise the current and the future conflicts will always have the covering of 'religion' which we're all supposed to think is wonderful and important to shelter behind.
mattsheedy says:
Thanks for your thoughts on this Devra,
My first reaction to reading your comments about your own identity formation is that you provide a good example of what I was talking about in the article. Your own identity has clearly conditioned how you relate to Judaism, in terms of things like ethnicity, scriptural adherence and the broader political concerns that have inflected your own position. As sociologists, anthropologists and psychologists (and a lot of everyday folk too, for that matter) know full well in their research (and as people know from their experiences), those we identify as "religious" will often differ considerably even within family units depending on the environment, internal pressures, external influences, etc., making it impossible to generalize broadly about what those who identify as Jewish (or are labelled as such) actually believe and practice. We can't know in advance yet there's a tendency to throw a large blanket over those who are classified as Jewish or Catholic or Muslim, etc. (and note the distinctions that I unconsciously made here as I typed these words, saying Catholic instead of Christian) prior to any sort of investigation.
I take the position that identity and how one performs it is always conditioned by context. Many of my ancestors were Irish Catholics whose "Irishness" and "Catholicness" mattered a great deal to Protestants in Ireland and in Canada when they migrated and became settlers. Having grown up in Toronto much later than my ancestors who came here at the turn of the 20th century, those labels have not been all that relevant to my own identity formation in any significant way. I don't identify as Catholic, for example, and given where I live today no one externally places that label on me as they did with my ancestors, and as I imagine they still do in parts of Ireland and the UK (esp. in parts of Ulster).
With Jewish identity, my sense is that it's not as easy to walk away from it (if one wants to or chooses to, that is), not least of b/c of on going racism given the long-standing "otherizing" of Jews the world over. Much the same could be said of those who identify as Muslim, especially if their differences are also coded in terms of language, cultural practices, skin colour, etc. as they often are in the Euro-West.
As for your question on the role of "religion" in these and other conflicts, I would tend to agree with the gist of your sentiments here, if I'm reading you correctly. To underline the main problem that I attempted to raise in this piece, calling someone or something "religious" is not a first-order description like a table or a chair, but rather a symbolic discourse that means something particular for the one using that label. Without definitional clarity, such a label often functions as little more than the application of a personal/cultural prejudice upon large groups of people, with little or no attention to questions of distinction. In many cases, as I suspect with Harris, to be religious involves some level of magical thinking and irrational beliefs that can lead to irrational behaviour. Consider the following lines from his article, which I did not quote in my piece:
"Even on their worst day, the Israelis act with greater care and compassion and self-criticism than Muslim combatants have anywhere, ever."
What if we conducted a simple thought-experiment and instead of saying "Muslim combatants" we said, for example, Kurdish combatants fighting in "Turkish" regions at the turn of the 20th century? We might then go on to ask about the political factions involved (and what that field of factions is represented by), the make-up of ethic groups in the region, how external pressures from other nations factor into the equation, and so forth. Assuming that some identify as Muslim (in a minimal or perhaps maximal sort of way), then that becomes a significant part of our data–e.g., figuring out how a Muslim identity is conditioned by environmental variables and how it conditions the social and political culture that they are situated in, in turn.
When we start with "Muslim" combatants (or Jewish or Christian, etc.) as Harris does, I'm afraid reductionism has already won the day as we are then (typically) guided in our analysis by trying to figure out how "religion" is *the* primary causal factor, how "religion" leads to violence, rather than develop a complex analysis that looks to account for the overlapping and integrated relationship between cultural norms, ethnicity, language, environmental factors, infrastructure, external alliances, etc, etc.
Simon Frankel Pratt says:
This is excellent. I had a number of people clamouring for me to write some sort of blog post criticising Harris's position on Israel-Palestine, as I have some background studying that conflict, but I couldn't be arsed to devote any further attention to this man's sophomoric bigotry. Suffice it to say, his positions on the conflict are untenable aside from the total incoherency with which he approaches and conceives of religion and its relationship to action. In any case, I'm very glad that you had more patience than I did.
Matt Sheedy says:
Thanks for your kind comments, Simon. In brief reply, I'd say that it's crucial that we look at Harris and other dominant narratives about religion in the public sphere (whether they identify as religious or secular, atheist, etc.), in order to get a better handle on what makes up the logical and discursive ground upon which we talk about religion in the first place. Part of the problem for me is that too much time is focused on engaging directly with the practical uses of the term, rather than assessing various meanings and how it actually gets used by people, and often as a mask for many other things.
As tricky as it is, I think scholars, journalists and bloggers have an important role to play in clarifying what is at stake (linguistically, conceptual, culturally, etc.) in these and similar situations.
JayLJeffers says:
This is a tremendous post. Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to make any difference to committed New Atheists (NAs), and particularly not to Harris. But kudos nonetheless, because the argument is worth having and there are still plenty of people in the middle who need to hear it.
Of course, the NAs could have avoided most (but likely not all) of your apt critique by simply attacking fundamentalism or rigid ideologies in general, but then that wouldn't have been nearly as exciting, headline-friendly, or lucrative. Actually we might not have heard of the NAs at all if they'd advanced that more responsible argument.
Thanks for saying so, Jay. I think you hit the nail on the head with your remarks about sensationalism and headline-friendly (and headline grabbing) modes of argumentation. What, for example, happens to an author's argument once they themselves become a popular voice in the debate? How does their emphasis and narrative get conditioned by the fields representation that they're caught up in?
Whether they realize it or not, the so-called NAs are caught up in discourses with particular conventions and particular logics that often obscure what is at stake, especially when we use other theories and methods of analysis to interpret insiders' descriptions regarding what "Islam" or "Judaism" signifies for them (i.e., if we're being attentive to difference and not simply assigning a broad categorization to large groups of people).
I also think that you're correct to suggest that they would be on safer ground if they directed their critique at certain "maximalist" orientations of, say, Islamic political theology, where some of the more troubling statements that they flag in their work to represent *the whole* are more accurately representative of certain groups within the larger umbrella of "Islam." Even in such instances, of course, we need to understand the material conditions where such conceptions of "Islam" arise, how they are distinct from other variations and what internal and external forces (such as US wars) function within their own narrative histories. That Hamas identifies as Islamic is not in dispute. Why they have come to identify in the ways they have and under what conditions of possibility is a more fruitful academic question to my mind.
J.Z Smith's essay "A Matter of Class" touches on this point nicely where, at the end of his argument, he points out that so-called "fundamentalism," coined in the 1920s to refer to particular modes of Protestant Christianity who were reacting to the rise in biblical criticism (among other things), loses its force as a when applied as a "generic category," especially in contexts where narratives are much more closely related to "colonial and post-colonial histories." For this reason, Smith argues that they are perhaps better described as "nativism" or "revitalization" movements. He also notes:
"To read Islamic fundamentalism as a nativistic movement is to call for a different set of comparisons and other sorts of explanations than would occur when one foregrounds the Christian phenomenon."
This piece was horrible. At the outset it is unforgivably dishonest. Don't berate Sam Harris with the same old bullshit about endorsing torture without answering the same questions regarding torture yourself. Is it an acceptable practice when an answer from a destructive party can save thousands of lives? Don't disregard the question entirely and suddenly feign moral outrage that Harris supposedly "endorses torture". And then, what do we learn from this piece? Religion is a terribly complicated topic, so it's best we not talk about its role in modern conflicts, given the non combative variations?

Q: Routing in Golang using only stdlib Recently i started one school project, i need to make a web forum using only standard Go library. And the main obstacle i have is i don't know how to properly make routing. For example:
router.HandleFunc("/threads", threadsHandler)
router.HandleFunc("/threads/", postsHandler)

It is okay if i have only 2 routes. But i want to be able to handle more complex routes, like:
"/threads/{thread_name}/posts"

How do i do that without using Gorilla/Mux?

A: Simply you can use HTTP package to handle this case. So this package provides HTTP client and server implementations. So I think this will help you.
func main() {
   http.HandleFunc("/threads/{thread_name}/posts",threadsHandler)
   log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
 }

And you can go to the https://golang.org/pkg/net/http this link to further details


I was sitting in class today with my macbook pro plugged in happily typing notes, when I noticed that the left speaker area was rather warm. it usually gets warm there, but today more than usual. I noticed when I unplugged the AC that the fan slowed down, but I did not leave it long enough to see if it cooled down. I am kinda worried cause it has never been this hot before. Any ideas?
I have one for backup and extra storage and I am very happy with it.
I use my MBP allot on my desk with my wireless keyboard and mouse, so the Elevator is a perfect fit for me. The height and the slope are just right, just make sure you keep an eye on your MBP and check to make sure it is not slipping! So far I have had no issues with this.
Good! Then that is definitely something that will make the Pro worth it.
I have been researching the differences under the hood between the Macbooks and the Macbook Pros, and I found it very interesting that the base model MBP has the same Processor and amount of L2 cache as the high end Macbooks. One thing that this led me to wonder about was the graphics performance between the two. I understand that the MB uses 144MB shared with the main memory and an intel on chip graphics processor. How does this compare performance wise to the base model MBP which has the NVIDIA graphics card with 256MB of dedicated memory? I still plan on getting the Pro version, the larger screen, backlit keyboard and larger variety of I/O options still makes it worth it to me, but I am a little curious about how the graphics compare.
Well, my original thought was to wait, and your suggestion makes allot of sense, so maybe I will.
Thats great, now I just have to wait until I actually have the machine in my hands.
Ok, that sounds just fine. One last thing; I purchased a 4GB RAM upgrade for the machine, would it be ok to upgrade the RAM before I boot it up the first time? I just don't want to do anything that could have a negative effect on my brand new machine, as I need it to last for a long time.
One quick thing I have been wondering about; I got a Wireless Mighty Mouse and Wireless Aluminum Keyboard to use with my Pro, does anybody know if you are given an option to set those up during the initial setup process or do you have to wait until after all that is done and then go through the standard pairing process?
I checked into the Student ADC membership, and I was going to go ahead and get one and see how much I could save, but then I saw the fine print that said you had to be 18, and I won't be in time to get something before school, so its back to the original plan of going to the Apple Store and getting the 2.4GHz model.
Do you have any idea what a Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz would cost after this discount?
Unfortunately that won't do me any good, my school sells the 2.4GHz for $1799 (same as Apple) and the 2.5GHz for $2538 ($239 MORE than Apple).
Well the date is set, at 10AM on August 6th I will be at the Apple Store Eastview to pick up my Pro! Unfortunately, my current financial situation limits me to the 2.4GHz model, but even though Its the same processor and L2 cache as the Macbook, there are still quite a few advantages to the Pro machine. I really wish I could wait till the new Macbook Pros are released, but with school starting in three weeks, I need to get something now. Hopefully it doesn't hurt too much when Apple updates the Pros (which is now looking to be sometime in mid September). I do have to say though, Apple is really screwing all the kids in my situation who need a machine for college and can't wait until then for it. PS. There isn't anyone out there who wants to make up the difference so I can have the 2.5GHz model, is there?
I have already purchased a 4GB upgrade kit, so I will be maxing out the RAM which should put a nice boost in performance. The 2.5 may end up being a little out of budget anyway, simply based on that factor I am currently leaning towards the 2.4GHz model, but we'll see how it goes.

Q: Postgres createuser command not found after installing with homebrew on my Mac lawn-128-61-59-74:~ postgres$ createuser -R  -P -S  -D fhir
After running "brew install postgresql" and running postgres, when running the above command I am getting the following error:
"-bash: createuser: command not found"

A: run:
 sudo find / -name createuser

This will find where the createuser command is located on your machine. Add what you find to your path.

A: This probably means that Postgres is not in your PATH.
Since you installed with Homebrew, your PATH should include
Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/bin

You can add this line to your .bash_profile to fix that
export PATH="Applications/Postres.app/Contents/Versions/9.6/bin:$PATH"

(Note: 9.6 is the version -- this may be different for you.)

If you didn't use brew to install Postgres you can use Vao Tsun's answer to find where Postgres is on your machine, and add that to your path instead

A: From your console/putty/shell you can connect to PgSQL running:
su - postgres -c "psql"

then you can run/execute yours commands/QUERYS...
CREATE USER synapse;
ALTER USER synapse WITH ENCRYPTED password 'I-love-Stackoverflow.com-xD';
CREATE DATABASE synapse ENCODING 'UTF-8' LC_COLLATE='en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE='en_US.UTF-8' template=template0 OWNER synapse;

if you have some trouble, then first try creating a ROLE:
CREATE ROLE synapse;
DROP ROLE synapse;

and after you can CREATE users...

September marks National Campus Safety Awareness Month (NCSAM), an initiative launched by Congress to promote and encourage public conversation around violence prevention at schools across the country.
Since its introduction in 2008, NCSAM has helped highlight and address the emerging and developing risks that schools face each year—and 2018 is certainly no exception.
As laws, regulations and technology continue to shape the world around our campus communities, the challenges we face each year evolve and become more nuanced. It's a big reason why engaging this campaign is so important for schools: it keeps campus communities in the loop on important issues.
For each of the following weeks throughout September, we will focus on a pertinent and emerging topic regarding violence prevention. However, the communication around proactive campus safety is not and should not be limited to just the month of September; it's a yearlong discussion that requires active participation from school leaders and the communities they lead.
To this point, communication is the centerpiece of this initiative. In fact, the way schools gather and share information pertaining to violence prevention and safety on campus is just as important as the information itself. Empowering campus community members with regular updates on campus safety rules, programs and policies only reinforces your efforts to ensure the safety and security of your campus.
It can also help ensure that emergency protocols and procedures are widely understood—and enable you to address any questions or challenges should they arise—and provide an opportunity to cover all the resources you have available to your campus community, such as counseling and support services as well as crime and incident reporting contacts.
Establishing a proactive risk management strategy for your school starts with having the right information and the ability to effectively communicate that information with your campus. So it's paramount that we all do our part to keep this conversation of safety and security for our campus communities front of mind all year round—and not just when class is in session.
This is also why our Education Practice Group provides regular updates and developments regarding the education communities we serve throughout the year through The Bolton Blog.
If you have any questions regarding your school's safety program and the best ways to effectively address the unique challenges your campus may face, please don't hesitate to contact me. Bolton's Education Practice Group has been supporting the evolving needs of our education partners for more than 30 years.
Cheryl has over 30 years of experience in the areas of insurance and risk management. With Bolton's Education Practice Group, she works with education clients to review and improve their existing risk management and insurance programs, including coordination of forensic audits of the school's existing risk management and insurance programs.

#340 What's Worse for Living a Long Life—Loneliness or Eating a Bad Diet?
What's Worse for Living a Long Life—Loneliness or Eating a Bad Diet?
If you want to live a longer, healthier, and happier life, it's every bit as important to be socially connected as it is to what you eat. In fact, it now seems clear from the research that being socially connected is an even more important factor in our current and long-term health than what we eat.
Being socially connected can be with your family. It can be your friends. It can be your neighbors. It can be people with similar interests with whom you maintain a connection. And, especially in the digital age, it doesn't necessarily have to be geographically located; it can be people you feel connected to, via social media, even if you have never met each other in person.
However, you chose to define it, though, one thing is clear: When we strengthen our social connections, we strengthen ourselves.
Should You Give Your Parents a Coffin at Age 60?
There is a tradition in the Longevity Village, the mountainous area of Southwest China that has the highest percentage of centenarians in the world, that we studied in our bestselling book, The Longevity Plan, in which children build a coffin for their parents when they reach the age of sixty. That might seem morbid, but I've come to learn that it is not in any way because the children believe their parents are close to death. Much to the contrary, the practice is intended to let aging parents know that everything has been taken care of, and they do not have to worry that their deaths might be a burden upon their kin.
As Masongmou, age 107 at the time, shared with me, "My son has already prepared three coffins for me," she said. "The first two became old, molded, and fell apart."
That, I learned, was quite common. The wooden coffins tended to last ten or twenty years before they began to rot and fall apart.
Masongmou wasn't eager to die, but when the time came, she said, she would be ready and content. And the way she saw it, death would give her a special opportunity to give back to her community.
Does Worshiping Your Ancestors Promote Longevity?
As is the case throughout most of China, each home in the village has a shrine. Ancestor worship—jìzǔ, in Mandarin—is deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and rooted in Confucian philosophy. Many Chinese believe the deceased have a special ability to do favors for the living, and can even shower their living descendants with blessings and fortune. That's one of the reasons they make offerings to their ancestors, even burning paper money to make sure departed loved ones have plenty of cash to spend in the spirit world.
There's a powerful social effect to this belief system. For in addition to whatever heartfelt familial obligations children feel they have to their elders, the constant presence of an ancestral shrine in people's homes is a persistent reminder that the way parents are treated in this life won't be forgotten when they pass on. This certainly isn't to say that the Chinese wouldn't be devoted to their parents anyway; the Chinese take elder care quite seriously.
Indeed, China is the only nation in the world I know of where children can be prosecuted for not visiting their parents often enough. But the spiritual coupling of familial responsibility and self-interest turns out to be a powerful motivator that helps keep the elderly engaged in the lives of their families in ways we sometimes fail at here in the United States.
What results from this belief is an understanding of mutual need that lasts until a person's very last breath. Nearly every home in Longevity Village is inhabited by three or more generations from the same family. Each generation relies on the others for emotional, educational, social, and economic support. Children are expected to give grandparents and great grandparents love and companionship. Elders, in turn, are expected to help children learn to be good scholars and good people, and to help out with cooking and cleaning as much as they are able. Everyone is important in a meaningful way. That's what social connection is all about.
How Dangerous is Loneliness?
It would be very hard to overstate the health benefits of feeling capable and connected to others in this way. Regardless of age, people who feel as though their communities don't need them are at increased risk of depression and high blood pressure, and have been shown to be more susceptible to all sorts of other ailments. Disconnection is the beginning of loneliness, and that is even worse for our long-term health: Research suggests people who feel lonely are more than twice as likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
The indelible feeling of capability and connection I saw in the people of Longevity Village isn't always present in the lives of my patients. And that's a real problem, because loneliness and social isolation can actually be more dangerous to your health than smoking or even being an alcoholic, and perhaps twice as dangerous as being obese.
Yet even as our nation spends hundreds of millions of dollars on antismoking campaigns, billions treating alcoholism, and hundreds of billions battling the health consequences of obesity, we haven't treated social connectedness as the public health priority it should be.
Does Modern Life Make Us Lonely?
Perhaps it's no wonder that between 1985 and 2004—years that saw an explosion of cable television channels, a proliferation of angry talk radio shows and, of course, the emersion of the Internet from relative academic obscurity to the predominant media force of our time—the number of Americans who don't have a single person with which to discuss matters that are important in their lives nearly tripled.
The trappings of our modern society can leave us helpless, frustrated, isolated, and sick. But these parts of our lives can also be tools we use to strengthen our connections with friends and families, and build our communities in ways that will help us feel stronger, more important and healthier than we've ever been.
Masongmou is the perfect example of this. When I next returned to the village, her wheelchair was nowhere to be seen. "My family and friends told me that I'd been in it long enough," she explained. "They said, 'you need to start walking again' and so I did."
Rosemary's Loneliness
Recently, while seeing a patient who was suffering from a heart arrhythmia, I inquired about who she considered to be part of her support network.
"Oh, Rosemary," she said with a sly smile.
"Is that your daughter?" I asked.
"No, my cat," she laughed. "The best friend a woman could have!"
We both got a good chuckle out of this, but I did want to know that she also had some human support. Did she have regular visitors? Did she ever feel lonely?
"How could I feel lonely?" she asked. "I have three wonderful kids and seven beautiful grandchildren. Someone is over at my place almost every weekend."
"And the weekdays?"
"Oh, well," she said. "Those days can get pretty lonely. But I wouldn't want to complain."
I assured her that it was perfectly reasonable to feel lonely after four or five days spent with her cat as her only companion. We discussed the health implications of loneliness, and some strategies for addressing it.
Is Social Isolation More Dangerous than Smoking, Alcoholism, or Obesity?
In one of the biggest studies ever done to explore the role of friends and family on longevity, Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad from Brigham Young University (BYU), published a study of 308,849 people. In this study she found that of all the common longevity factors, such as exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, or not smoking, that being socially connected was the most important. Indeed, her study showed that people who were socially connected lived 50% longer!
With regards to mortality, here are the 3 key findings of this study:
1. Social isolation is more dangerous than smoking 15 cigarettes a day
2. Social isolation is more dangerous than becoming an alcoholic
3. Social isolation is twice as dangerous as obesity
Do People Hide Their Loneliness?
I've definitely noticed in my patients a tendency to downplay or deny feelings of loneliness. The deeper we get in conversation, though, the more it's clear that this is a problem that impacts a lot of their lives, sometimes without them ever realizing it. And that's increasingly problematic in a world in which isolation is increasingly the status quo.
Elders are far from the only people who get lonely. Loneliness is actually one of the most common emotions among Americans of every age, so much so that many people don't even realize that they are, in fact, chronically lonely. That feeling isn't something to be ashamed of; it's simply our body's way of telling us that we need to work a bit harder toward the goal of connecting with our community.
How do we do that? I often tell my patients that the best way to cure their loneliness is to cure someone else's. After all, when two isolated people are together, they're no longer isolated.
On occasion I've asked patients who appear to suffer from loneliness to do a bit of "homework," using the Internet to research recreational sports teams, interest groups, political organizations, book clubs, volunteer organizations, and lifelong learning classes that they might be interested in joining. All of these avenues are great ways to meet new people, and the mere act of looking into these opportunities is often enough to get people to try them out.
Dr. Day,
Your advice was pivotal when I was diagnosed with AFIB and you recommended an electrophysiologist in my area who successfully ablated same twice ( 6 years apart and second ablation was little more than a "touch up" on one PV.) Living healthy ever since. Now at 76 I have PVCs ( 8-9 % burden ) which seem to intensify or decline depending on stress. Normal echo; excellent stress test; normal BP and walk 3 miles daily. SOO is PMs. Ablation ultimately necessary ? Is the new Pulsed Field ablation ( "PFA") a safer option vs.RFA or cryo ? Love your books. Have read them all. Thank you. Dr. Peter Sprague
