Aside from Mozilla – Sergey Brin has spoken out against Apple indicating that the closed framework kills innovation. That is despite the fact that Android has started to gravitate slowly toward a closed ecosystem as well, although not as tight knit as Apple.
I am not dramatizing the battle between Apple and Google. It is fun to watch the battle from the sidelines: reach out for popcorn, slip on your 3D glasses and watch it play out on a prospective Apple HDTV in the security of your home. Rather, I am using the clash of the Titans as a proxy of the natural pull of why walled gardens are absolutely essential and will naturally coexist with the open world order. Though seemingly exclusive, they both need one another – a symbiotic relationship that will advance the cause of technology and solutions in a global marketplace.
Here are some basic facts: You can choose not to amble into a walled garden. The entry fee of purchasing an iOS or an Android device gets you into that world. It is not a mandatory fee; you vote with your wallet. Secondly, a walled garden ensures an order, a governing set of rules that allows certain decorum among creations and consumption patterns. Imagine a system with no specific rules per se … or rules that are emerging but are so dispersed and discrete that there is asymmetric information in the marketplace. Thirdly, once the rules have been established and learnt … the community of developers can build out applications that create standardization of elemental set of experiences. In other words, they are given the assurance that for the most part, their experiences will not be contaminated by malware, bots, quality issues, uncensored content, etc. But all of these facts run counter to those who espouse that the internet is the ultimate playground, chaos rules and ferments more innovation than ordered iconoclastic frameworks.
We need the open world framework. Indeed, this framework allows participants to contribute to this critical crucible of knowledge. It is a showcase of immense creativity, talent, crowdsourcing of new ways of looking at dynamic content, etc. It unleashes the animal spirits of rebellion and a desire to build layers and layers of new world orders. Everyone participates in order to write their names in the skies – curiously taking something out of Job's statement – everyone wants to make a dent in the universe. Leashing that desire is bad! In the long run, it would stultify the creativity and the islands of innovation that emerge as a consequence. It is a framework that is needed just as basic research is needed in great organizations that have very long-term planning horizons.
The walled garden devises its own story. The open world will be its reference point. The walled garden will pick those words that will string into an ordered sentence, it will adopt the appropriate grammar that will be conducive to common understanding and exchange of information, and it will pick the colors that will lend contrast and richness in perception, etc. In other words, the walled garden will optimize and borrow from the open world. Sure, there will be a number of innovations that will continue to happen within the walled garden if you will but a closed system leads to entropy.
So does the open world need the walled garden? Yes, it does. Men seek order! They get comfort in order. They have now benchmarks that their efforts can be measured by. The Android marketplace which is relatively more open than the iOS is reactive to malicious and illegal apps. This impairs the users' security and safety in the electronic domain, and privacy is more likely compromised. Good walled gardens, despite some minor inconsistent application of rejection guidelines which has happened in Apple, are looked upon as the ones who establish standards of excellence in process and thus forces the open world to be cognizant of these processes and instill standards to preempt the evils of chaos.
Bear in mind that I have put forth this argument by placing both these two frameworks across extreme spectra. The reality is such that both are relatively more moderated. But the idea of the two frameworks in the extreme drives the point home better. They both have a value in the ecosystem, and interestingly the values are more measurable in a temporal dimension.
This will soon lead to the next blog on Free vs. Pay-to-Play Networks.

Georgia Southern holds off Louisiana-Monroe late, wins 67-65
MONROE, La. (AP) — Quan Jackson hit three 3-pointers down the stretch and scored 26 points to help Georgia Southern hold off Louisiana-Monroe, 67-65 on Thursday night.
Josh Nicholas got off a shot from mid-court that was a touch too strong as time expired for the Warhawks, who cut a 15-point deficit down a field goal in the closing seconds. ULM's losing streak now stands at nine straight.
Jackson scored 20 of his points in the second half for the Eagles (14-10, 8-5 Sun Belt) and topped the 20-point mark for the third straight game. Ike Smith added 15 points, Simeon Carter had 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Isaiah Crawley contributed 10 points.
Michael Ertel finished with 30 points to lead ULM (6-16, 2-11) and sparked the Warhawks' second-half comeback by scoring 10 points in a 12-0 run that cut the lead to 52-47 with 8:04 to play. Erie Olonade added 11 points and eight rebounds off the bench and Tyree White added 10.
Georgia Southern plays at Louisiana-Lafayette Saturday night. ULM plays host to Georgia State Saturday afternoon.

Seymour police public information officer Brett Stauber addresses the media after three people, including two children, were found in a residence. Daniel Damiani, Appleton Post-Crescent
SEYMOUR – Several Green Bay Packers players will sign autographs to benefit the family of the two little girls killed in Seymour in April.
Players Kyler Fackrell, Kenny Clark, Montravius Adams, Reggie Gilbert, Dean Lowry and Tyler Lancaster will be at Seymour City Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 15 signing autographs. There will be $20 minimum donation for each item autographed. Each donation includes an autograph from all six players.
The event is being organized by the Seymour Police Department.
All proceeds from the event will go to the family of Matteline Samson, 4, and Hailey Poppe, 3 months, who were stabbed to death in a home in the 600 block of North Main Street in Seymour, the Wisconsin Department of Justice said.
An adult man, 35-year-old Andrew Poppe, was also found dead inside the home. The DOJ said he died of a self-inflicted wound.
A law enforcement source with knowledge of the case said investigators believe Andrew Poppe killed the children, then fatally stabbed himself, thought DOJ investigators have not said who they believe is responsible for the children's deaths. The girls' mother is not a suspect.
More information about the event can be found on the Seymour Police Department's Facebook page.

The Martins looked under every rock and leaf in State College until one day when Lynelle checked Craigslist's business section.
Since then, they say, it's been the wildest eight weeks of their lives.
They leased what was already a cafe — College Town Cafe to be exact — renovated the inside to match their vision of a communal space and put together a menu that stresses local, healthy sourcing.
The Martins know a thing or two about running a business. They are partners in Tussey Mountain Mulch Landscape Center, a business his father founded in 1988.
The cafe, Bryant Martin said, has offered him a new perspective, particularly as he experiences the melting pot of a town-and-gown community.
A goal of the Martins, aside from serving the best food they can, is to make their 2,500-square-foot, 40-seat eatery a place of cohabitation for students and locals.
Sowers Harvest Cafe is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. The cafe may expand its hours with a larger staff, which is now at 10 employees. The Martins would like to hire five more people.

Many individuals who suffer developmental disabilities experience significantly compromised intellectual functioning and impairments to adaptive behaviors. In many cases, their limitations are attributable to epilepsy, cerebral palsy or other conditions including mental illness that necessitates ongoing assistance to maintain their health, hygiene and well-being. These individuals often require special services that can usually be provided at intermediate care facilities (ICFs) under the care of specially trained medical staff. However, many facilities lack the necessary training or are overcrowded or understaffed, which results in the resident receiving substandard care.
Our dedicated lawyers provide legal remedies for every developmentally disabled individual in Illinois. In an effort to help families make an informed decision, we publish current information detailing safety concerns, health hazards, opened investigations and filed complaints against intermediate care facilities statewide, including those that are documented at Milestone Elmwood Heights. Many individuals and family members who must place a loved one in a home that provides quality care use this information to make the best informed decision to ensure their safety and well-being.
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 07/01/2015, an incident investigation was opened against Milestone Elmwood Heights ICF involving the facility's failure to ensure that the individual program plan (IPP) for a client was used to ensure proper usage of a gait belt. As a result of the facility's failure, the resident "fell and sustained a laceration and intracranial bleed." Emergency medical services were called after a resident was "found sitting on the floor outside another peer's suite (bedroom). [The resident] was observed with blood on the right side of his forehead with a laceration received from an apparent tripping over a protective floor mat.
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 05/21/2015, during an inspection of care and certification and licensure survey, a notation is made of the facility's failure to ensure proper training of the staff to use correct techniques and properly administer medications at the facility. This is in response to a surveyor's finding that "monthly weights [of residents] have not been documented as ordered. [The assistant director of nursing] said she has informed administration of the missing weights, and that the weighing should be scheduled around the same day each month, for consistent monitoring." Weighing every resident is important, especially for those who require weight management.
If you, or your loved one, have been neglected or abused while residing at Milestone Elmwood Heights, or any other Illinois ICF, Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC can provide legal assistance to seek financial compensation for your harm. Our team of nursing home abuse attorneys can offer numerous legal options to hold those accountable for their actions. You may be entitled to receive full recompense for your injuries and harm to cover all of your damages and losses.
We encourage you to contact us today at (888) 424-5757 to schedule your initial free case evaluation. We accept all medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, wrongful death and personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis to avoid the need of you paying any upfront fee.

Q: iptables - INPUT DROP ignore FORWARD rules? I recently got a client-VPN at one of my Debian servers in my home network. I want to use it as another gateway in my network for certain devices. This is something I have succeeded with so that is all fine, just want to give you the backstory.
Now, I have an RDP server (WS 2019) that I'm able to connect to through WAN on my VPN as long as I don't use iptables -P INPUT DROP. However, I'm using port forwarding, so I'm very confused why those ports won't work. I started using iptables yesterday, so it might be something very obvious however I don't know how to google this.
My setup:
$ iptables -L -n
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target    prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  192.168.0.0/24      0.0.0.0/0            tcp dpt:22
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            tcp dpt:11111
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

$ iptables -L -n -t nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
DNAT       tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0            tcp dpt:11111 to:192.168.0.50:3389 <-(RDP server)
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
SNAT       all  --  192.168.0.0/24      0.0.0.0/0            to:[my public VPN IP]
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

To be clear, the only thing I have to do to make everything work again is set policy for INPUT to ACCEPT, but I don't want to do that since it's a router to WAN.
So, do the policy for INPUT also define the traffic for forward chain? How do I solve this so I use the DROP policy and still forward the 11111 traffic to 3389 at my local RDP server?

A: To ensure the traffic is actually reaching your Windows Server, I would suggest you to add a "-J LOG" at the end of your firewall script, so the package is logged right before being dropped. If you do not see the package being dropped, it is possible that Windows firewall could be dropping it. Additionally, I understand that this setup is probably a work in progress, but I am not recommend, at all, that you use ACCEPT as the default target for FORWARD chain in your firewall, since it would be very risky.
You may also want to check Terminal Services log (not sure where they are), to ensure Windows is receiving and not dropping connection for any reason.
Hope this helps.

A: By having only the SSH port as an INPUT rule and then introducing iptables -P INPUT DROP, you are blocking incoming ICMP.
All modern operating systems (at least from Windows 95 onwards) use Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD) on TCP connections. MTU = Maximum Transfer Unit, basically the size of the largest packet that can be transmitted without splitting it into two or more smaller packets (fragmentation).
Basically, modern OSs will always send packets with the "don't fragment" flag set, and if a router somewhere finds they won't pass through a particular network hop because that hop has a smaller-than-normal maximum packet size, they'll expect that the router will send back an ICMP "Fragmentation Needed" packet that will also include the information of the largest packet size that will fit through unfragmented. Once they receive that ICMP message, they'll start using the specified size instead. As the process gets repeated on any hops with a constricting packet size, the TCP connection will automatically find the largest packet size that will be able to pass from the source all the way to the destination without fragmentation. All the routers in between can then work with optimum efficiency.
By blocking all ICMP, you've thrown a wrench into the works. Most likely your server is trying to send maximum-size packets and something else is trying to tell it "that won't fit, turn down your MTU a little". But since incoming ICMP is blocked, your server will blithely keep trying to send maximum-size packets that will never reach the intended recipient... until the connection times out.
You're also using a VPN. Because any package that gets inside a VPN tunnel will need to have a second set of address headers prefixed to it (plus perhaps some overhead for the encryption and/or for the VPN's own needs), most VPN connections will constrain the MTU to something just slightly smaller than the Ethernet's default value. So you will definitely need PMTUD to work.
Various cloud-based services may also have a slightly reduced MTU value, and not all of them have it exactly the same. So setting a smaller MTU value manually is not ideal.
You'll need to read up on ICMP, and decide for yourself which ICMP packets you consider safe enough to handle, and which ones you'll want to drop in your firewall.
Also, you should be aware that modern operating systems will already include some safeguards against ICMP-based attacks by default: for example, sending of ICMP error messages is usually considered to be of lower priority than handling any connections that are working normally.

I am an Australian mixed media mosaic artist, living in Canada. (please see my website) I am doing a series of artworks based on a paint colour called "Copper Mine". The series will include artwork which speaks to the devastation of land in the name of 'progress' i.e. mining for copper. I will also be addressing the health issues miners suffer as a result of years' long exposure to mining and the effects the lifestyle has on families. My art is abstract and incorporates textures and colour to paint a 3D picture in mosaics. The Kimberleys is one of my favourite areas in Australia – I even named my daughter after it! I would like permission to use some of the textures, lines and form of the photographs on this site as part basis for my art. Credits will be given of course. I look forward to hearing from you.
You are most welcome to use the photographs, I look forward to seeing your art. Much of this site is based on showcasing this beautiful country which is rich in mineral resources, and under threat. Good luck!
Thanks so much. The photographs are stunning. I will try to do them justice!


I'll admit that I am a very picky eater. I know what I like so I tend to stick with that and trying new things sometimes I am just like my 3 year old.
You just don't want to. If I can do it so can you.
So shopping last week I see a bag of Sugar Snap Peas. I'll admit I am 29 and have never tried these. So I bought them.
Today I had the genius idea of roasting them.
Preheat the oven to 400. Drizzle oil on pan add sugar snap peas. Season it all up. Cook in the oven stirring ever 10-25 min till browned.

Collide B2B with Justin Weniger of Wendoh Media
January 15, 2016 By @JackieMJensen
Collide B2B will host Justin Weniger, Founder and CEO of Wendoh Media, for an event at Inspire Theatre on Tuesday, January 26, 2016.
Weniger's company is the conglomerate behind The Pulse of Las Vegas and the Life Is Beautiful festival. He will be presenting multiple areas of needs within his organization for startups to make business proposals.
"After moving my startup to DTLV I discovered it was being very difficult for me and other startups to engage with local businesses," explained Rodrigo Alonso, Founder and CEO of Collide B2B. "I went to Mark Rowland, CEO of Downtown Project, with a proposal to create this event to foster community. He engaged immediately and bring Downtown Project's executives as the guests for the first event in November. It was a total success for the community."
Alonso says Collide B2B is a unique and different event focused on engaging startups with local companies to do business together. "Startups get traction and local companies get innovation. A win-win relationship."
He launched Collide B2B in Las Vegas, and has since tested it in Latin America with great results.
"We decided to package it so every startup community around the world would be able to easily replicate it," he said. "By February, we'll have a weekly calendar for the rest of the semester. Events will feature CEOs from the biggest Nevada businesses. We expect to make a greater event by the end of the year around vertical industries and all Nevada startups attending."
For the January 2016 event, Alonso says he invited Justin Weniger to speak because he's an innovative CEO who has opportunities for startups within his company.
"Justin is leading how media companies and art festivals create new experiences for the people," he said. "We talked with Justin about how to leverage the Life Is Beautiful festival and invite startups to add value. In this way, a big local business like Wendoh Media, lifts local startups to create businesses. This is community working as a community."
Alonso says if you are a startup or small business, you should consider attending Collide B2B.
"There is no other better way for you to make business, get traction and grow your company," he said. "We have reached out more than 20 coworking spaces in Nevada to invite startups and small businesses. Everybody is empowered to add value, volunteers, sponsors, mentors, and more. At the end of the day, what we are doing here is bringing together the local community to have a win-win business relationship. If you are a CEO, Board Member, or executive and would like to have the most innovative startups helping your business to innovate and differentiate from your competition, send me an email at [email protected]"

Lava Fountains Gush Near Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii
May 7, 2018 Jason AyalaUncategorized
Ash from the Kilauea volcano rises into the air, near Pahoa, Hawaii, seen in a photo provided Sunday by U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is on active duty with the Hawaii National Guard.
Lava and toxic gases continued to spew in neighborhoods from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Sunday, with nine homes destroyed since the eruption began on Thursday and authorities ordering evacuations of 1,800 people.
A tweet on Sunday from the U.S. Geological Survey showed a lava fountain shooting 230 feet into the air in the Leilani Estates subdivision in the island's east.
Authorities were warning people to be on alert for elevated levels of sulfur dioxide and continued volcanic eruption.
The two rural areas ordered for evacuation, Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens, sit at the eastern base of the volcano, which erupted Thursday, belching lava, damaging buildings and forcing residents to flee their homes. Hundreds of quakes had shaken the island for days when a magnitude-6.9 earthquake hit on Friday, Hawaii's largest in more than four decades.
On Sunday, officials were planning to let Leilani Estates residents pass a checkpoint to briefly return home to finish evacuating pets and retrieving medicine and vital documents. But authorities warned that could change if conditions worsen.
"We want them to be safe," said Janet Snyder, a spokeswoman for the county of Hawaii's Mayor's Office. "We're not going to let them in if we're not sure they're going to be safe."
Residents of Lanipuna Gardens, however, were being kept away from their neighborhood due to dangerous volcanic gases, officials said.
After a few hours of calm on Saturday, two more cracks emerged Saturday night, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, bringing the total of massive fissures in the ground to nine by Sunday morning.
More than 200 people were in shelters as of Sunday morning.
Ms. Snyder said the number of people in Red Cross-run shelters likely wasn't an accurate reflection because many who fled the lava flows were staying with friends or family, or sleeping in cars. Some ordered to evacuate hadn't done so.
It isn't clear how many people stayed behind in the neighborhood and what their conditions were. Video from the neighborhood shared on social media showed smoke and lava bubbling through a giant crack on a paved road.
Hawaii Gov. David Ige, who visited two evacuation shelters on Friday, said in a statement it was a "frightening and unpredictable time."
"I met many people who are frightened and deeply concerned about losing everything they've worked for all their lives," he said. "I've heard from people who have already lost their home."
The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said the fissures in Leilani Estates have resulted in "dangerously high concentrations" of sulfur dioxide, and warned people in the area of the threat to their health. Asthma patients, infants, seniors, and expectant mothers are particularly vulnerable, the agency said.
Gary Hoffeld, a resident who lives in a subdivision about 8 miles downwind of Leilani Estates, said parts of that neighborhood were safe from slow-moving lava flows and many make calculated choices to stay home and monitor the situation because they believe they are safe for now.
"The lava doesn't chase you down the road like in the movies," said Mr. Hoffeld. "It moves slow. You can see where the real threat is."
Mr. Hoffeld said a friend who lives in Leilani Estates had remained in her home despite the evacuation order because she felt she wasn't in any danger. The smell of sulfur has drifted far, though, piercing Mr. Hoffeld's own neighborhood miles away after "nonstop earthquakes" for two days.
The largest tremor on Friday shook up his home, and with officials warning of more to come, Mr. Hoffeld and his family are following alerts by phone and television, he said. He has picked up knocked-over picture frames and vases around his house, wrapped them in blankets and left them on the floor. "We're not putting them back up yet," he said. "Better safe than sorry."

Baltic PMs in Rīga: We remain united over Brexit
New Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš had his first joint meeting with his counterparts from fellow Baltic states Estonia and Lithuania February 4, eng.lsm.lv reports.
However, the Estonian Prime Minister Juri Ratas was unable to make the Rīga rendezvous due to weather conditions, thus leaving Estonian ambassador to Latvia Arti Hilpus to fill in alongside Kariņš and Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis.
The three said that despite reports in the British press that the UK government intended to plead its case for re-opening the so called "Brexit negotiations" via the Baltic states, no such approaches had been made. They also signaled that any such attempt would likely be fruitless.
"It took two years to reach the agreement on the Brexit deal. It was a tough negotiation... It's not realistic to get agreement from 27 countries within three weeks on a deal which was shaped over a period of two years," said Kariņš.
"'The UK faces an immense challenge. Over a long period of time they have not decided exactly what kind of deal they would like to have but from the Latvian perspective the withdrawal of the UK is a very unfortunate fact. The UK is a very important strategic partner but we must take care of the European Union and its unity."
"We agreed among the Baltic countries that it is very important that Europe remains united," he said.
"If there is a better agreement possible on the backstop with regard to the Northern Ireland border, it would be welcome, but I am very sceptical because this has been two years in the making... there is a solution that has been tabled and everyone [in the EU] is okay with the solution," said Kariņš.

Emiliano Sala's body has been recovered from a plane wreckage 220 feet below the surface of the English Channel.
His teammates at Cardiff City, who never got to play with the 28-year-old, led tributes on Twitter.
The wider soccer industry have also been sharing their condolences.
Cardiff, meanwhile, is embroiled in a legal row with the player's former club Nantes over the transfer fee it owes.
Sala joined Cardiff in January and Nantes have yet to receive a single payment on the 15 million ($19.5 million) transfer fee.
Nantes has reportedly threatened legal action.
Read more of Business Insider's coverage for the 2018-2019 soccer season right here .
The body pulled from the wreckage of a plane discovered 220 feet below the surface of the English Channel has been identified as Emiliano Sala, and tributes from the soccer world have poured in for the deceased Cardiff City player.
Sala, 28, was flying to Cardiff in a plane piloted by David Ibbotson but it disappeared from radar on January 21, just days after the footballer was unveiled as a Cardiff athlete having transferred from the French team Nantes.
An official search lasted for three days, according to the BBC . However, Sala's agent raised $420,000 so a private search could take its place. This was conducted by David Mearns, a marine scientist and oceanographer, who used sonar to search an area 24 nautical miles north of Guernsey.
The plane was found 220 feet below the English Channel surface, on the seabed , on Sunday morning, as confirmed with underwater cameras. Sala's body was recovered on Wednesday and formally identified by a coroner in Dorset on Thursday.
The player's teammates at Cardiff, who never got to compete with Sala, published condolences on Twitter.
Cardiff City centre back Sol Bamba said "rest in peace."
Joe Bennett posted a crying emoji.
Former Cardiff player Gareth Bale, currently at Real Madrid, also posted his regret over the news.
And the wider soccer industry also reacted, with messages coming in from the Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil , the Manchester City midfielder Leroy Sane , and the Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
Cardiff City is currently embroiled in a legal row with Sala's former club Nantes over the 15 million ($19.5 million) transfer fee it owes.
The Telegraph reports that Nantes twice emailed Cardiff to demand "urgent payment." Cardiff, meanwhile, had frozen the payments while investigations were ongoing. Nantes reportedly threatened legal action if they did not receive a payment within 10 days.
Sala was Cardiff's record signing.

Photos from passengers onboard United fight show complete chaos among passengers
Panicked passengers sitting in various parts of the crowded cabin took photos as the drama unfolded before them which saw paramedics attempt to revive the passenger who was pronounced dead shortly after an emergency landing in New Orleans.
Medics who were allowed on board once the plane had landed attempted to save him while his wife revealed within earshot of other travelers that her husband had been showing symptoms of COVID-19 for the past week, having lost his sense of taste and smell.
A man who tested positive for COVID-19 died on a United Airlines flight Monday. Above, photos show people trained in CPR on board assisting after the man was unable to breathe and later died
Concerned passengers and crew surround the man who was sitting in seat 28D on the flight
In a terrifying ordeal for nearby passengers the man was seen on the plane shaking and sweating and having a hard time breathing even before the flight took off.
Once in the air, his condition deteriorated rapidly and the captain made the decision to perform an emergency landing in order for the man to receive medical attention.
Tony Aldapa was one of the passengers on board who helped perform CPR on the man
Just over an hour into the flight, the passenger who was sitting in seat 28D stopped breathing.
The crew asked if there were any doctors onboard and a number of people got up to help.
Some have detailed how during CPR, his bones could be heard to crack as chest compressions were carried out before he started turning blue.
Tony Aldapa was one of the passengers on board who helped perform CPR on the man.
'I got up out of my seat, let them know "Hey I know CPR" and asked "Do you need some extra help?" I can tap in and help with chest compressions. That's how it all started.
'By the point that I got there to the point where the fire department got on board, it was at least 45 minutes,' Aldapa explained.
'There was no mouth-to-mouth at all. We were doing chest compressions and they had him on the oxygen mask from the plane, then once we had a medical bag that is kept on board we used an ambu-bag which is a bag that you squeeze to give breaths, that's what we used for breathing,' he detailed.
Aldapa detailed on Twitter how he took part in the attempt to save the man's life while on board the flight to Los Angeles
Aldapa detailed his actions on board the flight and noted that he had also since become symptomatic for the virus
On Saturday night, on Twitter, Aldapa went into further details as to why he decided to get involved and what happened after the man had been removed from the aircraft
On Saturday night, on Twitter, Aldapa went into further details as to why he decided to get involved and what happened after the man had been removed from the aircraft.
'By now most of you know I was on the United flight that has been in the news. I made the decision to attempt to save the passengers life and along with 2 others performed CPR for close to an hour until we landed. And continued to help the firefighters when they came onboard.
'I knew the risks involved in performing CPR on someone that potentially has COVID but I made the choice to do so anyways. I spoke with the passengers wife about his medical history and she never mentioned he was positive, she said he was scheduled to have a test done in LA.
'I spent the remainder of the flight covered in my own sweat and in that man's urine. I have since become symptomatic myself and am awaiting the results of my second test. I have not been contacted by the airline or by CDC as of this time.
'Looking back I would not change my actions, but I may have stepped up earlier. Knowing I had the knowledge, training and experience to help out, I could not have sat idly by and watched someone die.'
Aldapa told DailyMail.com that despite the photographs snapped by other travelers, there was no sense of chaos in the cabin at any point.
'There was no chaos on board. The photos look like it but that's because there were a lot of people in one spot in a small space. Just like when boarding a flight, it's organized but a photo will make it look like a mob. The flight crew had everything under control to the best of their ability and any passenger that was not actively helping was sitting calmly in their seats. I've been in chaotic situations before and that was absolutely not the case. It definitely could have been, but the flight crew did an amazing job.'
Paramedics can be seen attempting to revive the man after the plane landed in New Orleans
While talking to EMTs in New Orleans, the man's wife admitted that her husband had tested positive for coronavirus meaning he likely lied when checking in for the flight.
During check-in, all United passengers have to self-report on whether they have experienced any coronavirus symptoms.
After the passenger was offloaded in New Orleans, his seat was wiped down, and the plane, a Boeing 737-900 with capacity for 179 people, continued its journey to Los Angeles.
In a statement to DailyMail.com United Airlines has confirmed that it was contacted by the CDC, and was informed that the man did have coronavirus.
'Our flight diverted to New Orleans due to a medical emergency and paramedics transported the passenger to a local hospital where the individual was pronounced deceased. We have been in touch with his family and have extended our sincerest condolences to them for their loss.
'At the time of the diversion, we were informed he had suffered a cardiac arrest, so passengers were given the option to take a later flight or continue on with their travel plans. Now that the CDC has contacted us directly, we are sharing requested information with the agency so they can work with local health officials to conduct outreach to any customer the CDC believes may be at risk for possible exposure or infection.
'The health and safety of our employees and customers is our highest priority, which is why we have various policies and procedures in place such as mask mandates and requiring customers to complete a 'Ready-to-Fly' checklist before the flight acknowledging they have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last 14 days and do not have COVID-related symptoms,' the statement read.
Passengers who traveled on the fateful flight vented their frustrations with the airline on social media.
A United flight from Orlando to Los Angeles Monday was diverted due to a medical emergency
'Can I ask how you guys let a covid positive man on my flight last night?' said one woman.
'He was shaking and sweating boarding the plane. He was clearly sick and then died mid flight. We had an emergency landing in New Orleans and we didn't even switch planes afterwards.
'We all sat there for hours waiting while you guys cleaned up his blood and germs with wet wipes. Is this how you guys handle other people's safety and health?'
She said that the airline's claim that they believed he had a heart attack was 'laughable', adding: 'There was never any mention of we are diverting this flight because of cardiac arrest reasons.
'Everyone was aware this was COVID related because the wife was relaying his medical information, and shared he was in fact COVID positive and symptomatic for over a week. That is them covering up the fact that they handled this situation poorly.'
One passenger tweeted how they were traumatized as they watched the medical emergency unfold
Another passenger tweeted their anger that the seat in which the man had been sitting was wiped down with wet wipes rather than a full disinfection procedure
One traveler explained how the man's wife detailed how her husband had been experiencing coronavirus symptoms
Another woman, named Shay, also tweeted angrily at United, accusing them of failing to check on the passengers before boarding, and criticizing the man and his wife for flying.
'United, why did you never check our temperatures before boarding?' she tweeted.
'The family of the man, why didn't you go to the hospital or not let your husband get on the flight feeling like that?
'An entire plane had to watch him seize or have a heart attack none of us know which, and die.'
Shay said she noticed the man having breathing difficulties.
'I made eye contact with his wife and looked at him and she just looked down,' Shay said.
She said the medical team on board tried to revive him for an hour.
'The family was crying, people were freaking out,' she said.
'He was shocked twice, given an epi-pen, 2 shots of adrenaline and mouth to mouth after chest compressions…'
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) asked United for the passenger manifest so other passengers can be informed that they might have been exposed to a disease, spokesman Charles Hobart said.
The passenger had filled out a form before the flight saying he had not tested positive for COVID-19 and had no symptoms of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, according to the airline.
'It is apparent the passenger wrongly acknowledged this requirement,' United said.
The CDC is collecting information to decide whether further public health action is appropriate, an agency spokesman said.
All four flight attendants were quarantined for two weeks once they arrived at Los Angeles, 'per written guidelines,' said Taylor Garland, spokeswoman for Association of Flight Attendants.
'Our union continues to provide support to the crew,' Garland said.
'We urge passengers to comply with airline COVID policies and stay home if you're sick.'
The man was taken to a hospital in New Orleans where he was pronounced dead, according to the airline.
Hobart said United originally was told that he died from heart trouble, so passengers were allowed to stay on the plane and complete the flight to Los Angeles or take a later flight.
The airline said all passengers stayed on the plane.

3 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and [a]behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?

After the Jewish remnant defiantly disobeys the Lord's message by leaving the Promised Land and settling in Egypt, the Lord sends another message through Jeremiah to them. This message along with their response is recorded in some detail in chapter 44.
What surprises me about God's word to the remnant is not that He expresses fierce anger or warns of impending disaster. I would expect this given the high-handed rebellion and hardened hearts of the people. Further, God had already told Jeremiah that the Jews who were not exiled to Babylon would be "poor figs" who would be destroyed by "the sword, famine and plague" (24:8-10). What surprises me (and moves me to worship) is that God continues to appeal to them to avert disaster by repenting of their sinfulness and returning to Him: "Why bring such great disaster on yourselves . . . and so leave yourselves without a remnant?" (7).
While God speaks of His "fierce anger", He continues to evidence a fierce love towards His sinful people. He relentlessly pursues them for their good. He repeatedly provides opportunity to repent and receive mercy. In spite of the fact that they have spurned Him and grieved His heart, His heart still offers them a way back from the brink. Here is another example of the truth that "God is love" (1 John 4:7-8); it's also a sobering reminder that His love is not indifferent to disobedience or a firewall against judgment. God's love is His unfailing inclination to seek good for people, in spite of their spiteful treatment of Him.
Jeremiah delivers this message to the remnant in Egypt when they have assembled together from "Lower Egypt" and "Upper Egypt" (1). While we are not told the occasion for this gathering, it may have been to commemorate a Jewish feast or festival; something homesick exiles tend to do when they "long to return" to their homeland (14). At a gathering of the men (along with some of the women—15), Jeremiah speaks the word of "the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel" (2).
The rest of the chapter details the interchange between Jeremiah and the remnant. Jeremiah begins by giving God's reminder of the reason disaster has fallen on Judah and an appeal for the remnant to repent and avoid further destruction (2-14). The people respond in a sad, but predictable, way. The men assert they will continue with their idolatry, seeing it as the way to blessing (15-18); the women add that their husbands were aware of their involvement in worshiping the "Queen of Heaven" (19). Jeremiah counters that disaster came upon Judah not because the people stopped worshipping idols but precisely because they wouldn't stop (20-23). Then Jeremiah delivers a second message from the Lord—one that promises the total destruction of the remnant in Egypt, except for a few fugitives (24-28). This message ends with a "sign" of the certainty of God's coming punishment—the Pharaoh will be handed over to the Babylonians (29-30).
While the Jews had historically been guilty of spiritual adultery with many different gods ("You, Judah, have as many gods as you have towns—11:13), in this exchange the focus is on one false god: the "Queen of Heaven" (7:18; 44:17, 18, 19, 25). The identity of this false goddess is debated; biblical scholars see a reference to a Babylonian or Canaanite god—or an amalgamation of the two. This goddess had been worshiped in Judea for a time (perhaps under Manasseh) and then stopped (perhaps under Josiah). Both the men (15-18) and the women (18) were convinced their demise was caused by this stoppage (18) and so they had resumed "burning incense . . . making cakes like her image and pouring out drink offerings to her" (19).
Here is evidence that history is not self-interpreting. The same event (destruction of Jerusalem and Judah) can be attributed to different causes (unfaithfulness to God or unfaithfulness to the Queen of Heaven). Without God's revelation to show us reality, we construct our own understandings of life, history, religion, and behaviour. Our interpretations make sense to us and we become convinced they are true. Even when challenged, we can hold tenacious (and tragically) to misguided understandings of reality. This is why we need God's Word to reveal truth to us. "Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint" (Proverbs 29:18).
The remnant's brazen rejection of God's Word (the will not listen/obey—16, 23) combined with their resolute determination to continue in idolatry has catastrophic consequences. They forfeit the most fundamental privilege of the covenant—the privilege of calling upon God's name. The Lord withdraws from them the right to "invoke my name or swear, 'As surely as the Sovereign LORD lives'" (26). They place themselves in the horrible position of being cut off from God's favour; instead of having God as their defender, He would now be "watching over them for harm, not for good" (27). As they had "determined" ("set their face") to go to Egypt, He had "determined" ("set my face") to bring disaster upon them (11). As they vowed to worship the Queen of Heaven, so He vowed "(I swear by my great name") to cut them off from the benefits of the covenant (26). He would send sword, famine, and plague upon them (the same three judgments He sent upon the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem—21:7, 9). While these judgments would come from God, like all consequences, they were also self-inflicted ("You will destroy yourselves . . . ."—8).
The chapter ends with a showdown (28) and a sign (29-30). The Lord proclaims that the remnant will "know whose word will stand—mine or theirs" (29). They have asserted that worshiping the Queen of Heaven will lead to having plenty of feed and suffering "no harm"—17). The Lord counters that their unrepentant idolatry will cause him to be "watching over them for harm" (27). Now they would see whose view of reality would prove accurate, whose words would stand true. Such is always the case whenever we pit our words (and worldview) against God's Word. A showdown is set up and God's Word will prevail.
God gives them a sign as evidence that His word will prove faithful and true: Pharaoh Hophra, king of Egypt, will be handed over to the Babylonians just as Zedekiah had been (30). In other words, the Babylonians would bring the sword, famine, and plague to Egypt—the very things the remnant were seeking to escape by going there. There would be historical verification of God's authoritative proclamation.

Q: Why is String#scan not finding all the matches? Let's use this as sample data :
text=<<EOF
#if A==20
        int b = 20;
#else
        int c = 30;
#endif

And this code :
puts text.scan(/\#.*?\#/m)

Why is this only capturing this:

#if A==20
    int b = 20;
#

I was expecting this to match as well:

#else
    int c = 30;
#

What do I have to modify so that it captures that as well? I used /m for multiline matching, but it doesn't seem to work.

A: It doesn't match the second part, because the "#" before the else has already been consumed, so all that's left ist
else
    int c = 30;
#

which does not match the pattern. You can fix this by using lookahead to match the second # without consuming it:
text.scan(/#.*?(?=#)/m)

A: Second # in your input was already matched by the first substring scan found. From there, it proceeds to scan the remaining part of the string, which is:
else
        int c = 30;
#endif

which of course doesn't contain anything to match your regex anymore.

A: .*? finds the shortest match. Try just .* instead.

"Soup Nazi" Pondering Own Museum
No chewing gum or flash photography for you! Despite plans to open 5,000 Original Soup Man stores worldwide, celebrity stew
By Observer Staff • 10/30/06 2:47pm
The "Soup Nazi," as seen on TV. (Screencap: YouTube)
No chewing gum or flash photography for you!
Despite plans to open 5,000 Original Soup Man stores worldwide, celebrity stew monger Al Yeganeh–perhaps best known for inspiring the queue-rule-obsessed "Soup Nazi" character on TV's Seinfeld–apparently won't be reopening his first store on West 55th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues.
At least not in its original frothy form.
Franchise spokesman John Rarrick tells the NY Post:
"…one of the options is to turn it into a soup museum….It would be sort of an historical shrine to Al's career as a soup man."
Just what we needed. A New York food attraction with long lines.

Kruzz was led into the forest. Elder Worg was guiding him. He seemed to be following a path, but to Kruzz everything looked the same.
Worg stopped and turned to face him. "Give me your right hand."
Kruzz obliged, taking his spear into his left hand to free his right. Worg unsheathed a knife and slid the blade across Kruzz's palm. He knew it was coming and tried not to flinch, but Worg's smooth, quick actions surprised him. He bit his lip to not utter his pain. Blood began to spill from the wound.
"Place your hand on every fifth tree that we pass. This will be the guide for your animal. Some brood's have predators that follow them and some have easy prey for them to kill. Now is the time for you to hope and wish for one or the other." Worg chuckled. "Though it may make no difference. In the end the animal will choose you."
He turned around again and continued leading the way. Kruzz marked every fifth tree that he passed. It stung, placing the open wound on the bark of the trees, but as his heart pounded faster and faster, pain seemed to become meaningless. His mind was more focused on what Worg had said. Did he wish for an easy Hunt like Dax's owl? Or did he want a dangerous fight against some predator like Grim's bear?
He worried that if he had to fight a bear he would lose. Grim had been older and bigger when he had gone on the Hunt. Kruzz was the youngest brood in generations, maybe ever. Was he even capable of defeating any predator in this forest? Maybe it would be best to hope for easy prey.
He didn't like where his thoughts were going. He wanted to be a strong grunt like Grim. To prove his strength he should have to fight something dangerous. The grip on his spear tightened. He would not be afraid to fight whatever animal chose him. No matter what it was. Dax said there was a deeper meaning to every Hunt. If it was easy prey or a dangerous predator, it did not matter. It was meant to be, either way.
They had been traveling for some time and Kruzz was starting to get a better sense of their surroundings. It seemed to him that they were walking in circles. Sure enough, he saw one of his bloody hand prints on a tree nearby. Their circles were becoming smaller and smaller.
Worg stopped and raised his arm, pointing to the right. "You must walk this part alone. I can go no closer."
"What must I do?" Kruzz felt unease in his stomach. It was time. He was about to face his destiny. He hoped he was ready.
"Walk through here. There is a clearing nearby with a rock. Make your mark on it. Then sit and wait. Your animal will find you." With that said, Worg left. Not the way they came, in circles, but straight out through the forest, away from the clearing.
Kruzz walked past the last few trees and entered the clearing. The rock was big and covered with old bloody prints. He placed his own hand on it and then climbed on top. He sat down cross-legged and placed the spear over his knees, wincing as he squeezed the shaft with his right hand.
Then, he waited. The forest was quiet. He had never heard nature be this quiet. He worried and waited some more. What animal would come to find him? Would he make the kill easily? Was his bleeding hand going to be a distraction?
It seemed like he had been waiting for a long time. He still hadn't heard a single sound from an animal nearby. His mind had circled his worries as often as he had circled the clearing. This was probably the time most broods would decide to get up and go find their prey themselves. Should he do the same?
What Dax had said about meaning was starting to sink in. What if the action of getting up and searching for your prey was what led you to a predator, because you are like a predator, going on the hunt? And what if sitting here, waiting for prey, let's the easy prey come to you, because you don't look like a threat?
If that was the case, maybe it was up to him what kind of animal chose him. The question was, what kind of animal did he want? As his mind eased into these thoughts the decision was taken from him. A hare jumped out of the forest and rushed into a small bush.
A hare? That was going to be the animal of his Hunt? Kruzz got up on his feet and stepped off the rock with a sigh. He flipped the spear in his hand to be able to throw it. The wound stung with every movement.
Kruzz neared the bush carefully. One step after the other. The hare was probably frozen in shock, trying not to move so that it wouldn't be seen, but Kruzz knew it was there. He took another step and felt the ground shake beneath him.
Before he knew what had happened, there was a loud roar as the earth underneath the bush was torn open. A big grey beast with at least six limbs that looked like a nightmare version of a caterpillar was sticking out of a hole in the ground, where the bush had been. The hare lay twitching in its maw.
Kruzz gulped. His hand tightened on his spear, the pain forgotten. The beast's sharp teeth crunched down on the hare. It was devoured instantly. The creature's insect eyes now focused on Kruzz and another roar escaped its throat.
Kruzz would have stood still and become its second meal, if his instincts hadn't kicked in. He lunged to the side as the beast's head shot forward and buried itself in the ground where he had been standing.
As the rest of its body left one hole to go through the other, Kruzz was shocked to see several more pairs of limbs. All with sharp claws that could probably cut through stone and could easily pierce through him. The thought made him falter. He should run. Get away from that beast as quickly as possible.
He couldn't though. This was his Hunt. The beast chose him and he would have to kill it to become a grunt. To prove his strength and worth. Kruzz resisted the urge to run and tried to think instead. How could he defeat a beast that was crawling through the earth?
The earth shook and Kruzz jumped aside as the beast burrowed through the grass where he had been just a second before. It knew where he had been standing even though it couldn't see him. The creature dove straight at him again with an earsplitting roar. This time Kruzz tried to stab it with his spear while dodging.
The spear slid into the monster's flesh as if it were made out of jelly. Kruzz landed in the dirt with a grunt and looked at his spear. It was covered in a white goo that smelled like rotten eggs. The creature screeched in pain and instead of diving back into the ground it turned and lunged at him again.
Kruzz was still on his back and could only try to roll aside. The beast rushed past him and sliced across his left arm with one of its claws. Kruzz cried out in pain as it disappeared down the hole it came out of.
The wound in his arm was deep and bleeding heavily. He couldn't stay on the ground though. The beast would come back up any second. He had to think of something. He remembered Grim's Hunt and that he climbed a tree. His arm was burning but he would have to do the same.
He quickly found a good tree to climb and threw his spear up with force so that it would bite into the wood. Then he used only his right arm to climb. So far the ground did not shake and the beast did not come out of the earth. He was up in the tree and had his spear back in hand. Now, all he had to do was wait.
The forest was silent. No birds, no more hares. It was just him and the beast. What was it waiting for? Did it know that he was prepared? Did it feel his footsteps on the ground and know that he was in the tree?
The pain in his arm wasn't getting any better and he could feel his body weakening. His heart was still pounding strong, but he was bleeding a lot. How long could he play this waiting game before he would lose consciousness? He had to do something.
He pulled off one of his boots and chucked it at the ground with his good arm. He hoped that would be enough to get its attention. He waited and wished that it would come. Time seemed to drag out into an eternity. He lost all hope and didn't know what else to do. Maybe the beast had left after being wounded.
The tree shuddered as a rumbling went through the forest ground. The monster broke through the surface and devoured his boot. Its back was turned towards Kruzz and he did not hesitate to take his chance. He jumped from the tree onto the back of its head and rammed his spear through its soft skin as deep as it would go.
The beast shuddered and screeched. Its limbs twitched and it scrabbled towards a hole in the ground. Kruzz held on tight and pulled out his spear to ram it in once again. And again. And again. Until the creature stopped moving completely.
Interesting ritual, the going in a spiral and attracting the prey/predator by blood on the trees. I like it, it's very Orc-y and fits the image I had of Orcs very well.
"What Dax had said about meaning was starting to sink in. What if the action of getting up and searching for your prey was what led you to a predator, because you are like a predator, going on the hunt? And what if sitting here, waiting for prey, let's the easy prey come to you, because you don't look like a threat?"
Maybe that's a question of taste, but I feel like the first sentence would have been sufficient to transport that meaning. The previous Kruzz chapter was right before this one, so that could have been handled differently, I think.
Still, it's an improvement on several fronts. Similar situations handled differently (and better!) than before. I like.
The sentences about being the predator and thus having to fight a predator or waiting for prey to have easy prey resulted from an epiphany. The idea just suddenly came to me and I felt the need to put it in writing. Though I see what you mean about it being clunky.
I would have also loved to prolong the fight, but the post was already long enough as it is. I believe it's the longest post I've made so far and that's without counting the previous post that is actually still part of it.
I didn't think it was clunky, I actually liked that bit especially. Also, obviously he's quick minded or he wouldn't be in this unique position.
I like the idea that the elder wants to make him a sort of icon, not for Kruzz, but to use him, his ability and his thirst to prove himself for his own means. There is a war coming and they will need everyone to be eager to fight.


I am new to the gtir world, just bought my first gtir.
You may see loads of noob posts so sorry for that in advance. Ill try and post pics of the car later today.
Dont apologise mate. We were all noobs once!
Where in westmidlands are you?
Welcome to the forum ... and pulsar ownership .... any specs on your new purchase ???
Welcome aboard, I've been on here 3 years and still ask 'noob' questions. Is it the one that's just sold on eBay with the blue bits on it by any chance?
Hi thanx for the welcome guys.
Im from birmingham. Not too sure on the soecs yet guys i bought it from scotland. Currently in the workshop having welding done to the sills nd getting it ready for mot. Just had the brake pipes replaced.
So far from what i can tell. It has a fmic, after market bov*not too great of a sound. Been told has the 350z injectors and been remapped. Also has the 350 maf which needs to be fitted. Aftermarket ecu.
Struggles to gain speed in 5th gear so just getting the basics done first.
First noob question lol what would the basics be? Also how do i know if it realy does have 350z injectors and if the maf is also from 350z?
Thank you ill take pics tomorrow when im near the car.
Hopefully it had just been pushed in by hand and has now gone back on the cogs correctly.
