Whats On Tonight
Good news is fall is coming back with many of our favorite shows starting up soon.
9/09 at 9PST on Fox
This show will start with teacher Will needs to enlist more students for the choir, but jealous cheerleading coach Sue undermines him. We saw the premier episode in May and now it's back. This show has been getting a lot of publicity this summer and hopefully it continues to be as good as the first episode.
9/17 at 9 PST on NBC
The season ended with Pam finding out she's pregnant with her fiance Jim's baby, which was a happy surprise. Since Pam and Jim started dating I was always afraid something would come between them and end their happy relationship. This coming season there will be a wedding and Pam will be trying to hide her pregnancy from her family.
9/21 at 8 PST on Fox
We left off with House being admitted to an institution and Cameron and Chase wed. The two hour premiere solely traces House's recovery over several months and I'm so excited to see this show come back. In House's absence, Foreman leads the team, unfortunately Cuddy and House's flirtation will not be so important.
9/21 at 8 PST on CBS
Last season ended with Ted getting a new job as an architecture professor, which will lead him in the path of finding his mothers kids. Also, Barney professed his love for Robin! Looks like this season we will learn things about Teds future wife and Barney and Robin will be seeing if they can make it as a couple. I love this show, I love Barney and I can't wait to see if he ends up happy with Robin!
9/24 at 9PST on ABC
Last season ended with Izzie's cancer nearly killing her and George flat lining, and Derek and Meredith writing their marriage vows. As we already know George dies and Izzie makes it. Cristina and Owen keep their relationship going, Mark and Lexie are even happier in their relationship, and Alex and Izzie's relationship may fall apart.
Not much to say about this new season, but we'll be sure to expect the usual Family Guy comedy. This new season will include Miley Cyrus being stalked, Stewie and Brian's adventures in alternate dimensions, and celebrity cameos include Chace Crawford as an escaped convict Meg harbors, and Anne Hathaway who's in a TV show Stewie is obsessed with.
9/27 at 9 PST on ABC
Last season ended with the neighbors including pregnant Lynette and a single Bree, gathered for Mike's I do's. We won't find out till this season if Mike marries Katherine or Susan. This season also brings a new family to the neighborhood, the Bolens. The drama will most likely be centered around this family.
10/15 at 9:30 PST on NBC
Last season ended with Jack losing his fiancee and finding his dad. This season Jenna will go folksy and there will be a quest for a new actor for the show. Jack also wants dating guru Liz to host a talk show which will blow up in her face.

Weeds is on at 10 PST on Showtime. Tonight's episode is called "Glue" where Andy joins Nancy and Cesar in their search for Esteban; Dean and Doug make good on their plan to get back at Celia; Silas and Shane find themselves becoming protective of their new stepsister Adelita. This show is so good, funny, and it just gets better and better.
Nurse Jackie is on at 10:30 PST on Showtime. Tonight's episode is the season finale and is called "Health Care and Cinema" where Kevin invites Jackie to a midnight rendezvous in order to give her a new wedding ring; the comatose movie critic wakes up but his tastes have radically changed; Eddie learns the truth about Jackie's family; O'Hara's ailing mother is admitted. So far this show has been getting very suspenseful. Will Eddie tell Jackie's husband about the affair? Can Jackie get off the drugs? Will someone find out about Jackie's drug addiction?
The Secret Life of The American Teenager is on at 8PST on ABC Family. Tonight's episode is called "Knocked Up, Who's There?" where Amy attempts to keep Ben interested in her. Elsewhere, Grace proves to be an influence on Adrian. Unfortunately Rumor Willis will be guest staring in this episode and I think she's terrible and ugly, a true potato head.
Make It or Break It is on at 9 PST on ABC Family. Tonight's episode is the season finale and is called "All That Glitters" where the girls go to Boston to compete in Nationals. While Payson is obsessed with beating Kelly Parker, her teammates lack focus: Kaylie feels torn between Carter and her dad, Lauren is angry at her parents and Carter, and Emily fears she's in over her head. This season has been an unexpected good show and this episode is sad and good and I can't wait to see how next season will turn out.

Sundays Schedule
True Blood which is on at 9 PST on HBO. Last nights episode is called "New World is In My View." First of all Jason and Sam looked good in this episode and Maryann is driving me crazy, I can't wait until they kill her. This season has had no dull moments and each episode has left off with a cliff hanger, sadly there are only two episodes left. In last nights episode Sookie, Bill and Jason return to a Bon Temps turned upside down by Maryann. Lured to Merlotte's by Arlene, Sam and Andy find cold comfort in their refuge from a group of bloodthirsty revelers. Bill discovers that traditional vampire techniques don't work on Maryann; Hoyt and Jessica try to keep a lid on Maxine's madness; Sookie tries to push through the darkness consuming Tara. With all hell breaking loose, Jason takes the bull by the horns to rescue Sam, at least for the moment.
Hung is on at 10 PST on HBO. This show funny and has really gotten me interested in seeing if Ray will get caught by the police, if he'll get his life together, or if he'll finally be able to fix his house. Last nights episode is called "You Come Just Right" and after standing him up, Jemma tells Ray maybe they should take a break, and Ray seeks out Tanya for advice on women.

After seeing her classified ad, Lenore gives Tanya some unwanted feedback on her marketing strategy, which leads Tanya to take a more personal approach.
Drop Dead Diva is on at 9 PST on Lifetime. I wasn't sure about this show but I started hearing good things about it so I checked it out and I do really like it and recommend it to you. This show is funny and had its sad moments, and it also has the aspects of a law show. I can't wait for Jane to tell Grayson that she's really Debb.
My Antonio is on at 10:30 PST on VH1. This is not your typical reality dating show, first because I have not seen one challenge. In last night's episode everyone was still buzzing over the shock of Tully's arrival, Antonio's first wife. But the shock turns to horror, as Sarah has an emotional breakdown in the middle of the night. Antonio seeks out Tully and they have their first conversation after being estranged for nearly 20 years. Tully begs for a second chance. Antonio doesn't trust her motives for being here. But he reluctantly agrees to let her stay.

A local contractor promises Ray a "Wolf Pack" discount for repairs, but money mismanagement has Ray strapped for cash. That all could change after Ray's session with Lenore or so he and Tanya hope.

Kate came over to the house to help me paint in my quest to get my house ready for sale. In return, I made her lunch of caramelized onion and broccoli quiche.
This was a fast and dirty quiche. Started late (as usually). Frozen crust, shredded swiss and gruyere from Trader Joe's, little bit shredded havarti, broccoli caramelized onions and shallots, . I blended my two favorite quiche recipes to come up with Kate's quiche.
Add the caramelized onions/shallots to the par-baked crust, broccoli on top, then cheese. Finally add the custard to the filling. Custard has milk with dash of heavy cream, eggs, pepper and masala wine. Then finally top with some grated parmesan. Baked for a 1/2 hour @ 375° or till crust golden brown and slightly brown on top. I think it could have use a little more time. Just a little loose but the taste was good. Maybe it was the havarti, hmmm. Love caramelized onion, you can add more for a more onion-y flavor. It makes everything taste yummy. And the broccoli had a slight bit to it not too mushy.
I combined my two favorite quiche recipes to make this one–Smitten Kitchen's Leek and Mushroom Quiche and One Perfect Bite's Zucchini and Caramelized Onion Tart. Both great recipes but as usual, I didn't have all the ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 400º Place your crust in your pie pan and crimp edges (if needed). Put it back into the refrigerator to rest. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes. Take out the crust, prick the the crust with a fork. Add parchment paper and pie weights (I use a lentils) to the pie. Put the crust in for 15–20 minutes. Edges looks slightly brown. Take the parchment paper and pie weights off and put the pie back in the oven for 2–3 minutes. Cool slightly. Turn down the oven to 375º.
Mix together milk, heavy cream, eggs, masala wine, and pepper (to taste). Layer the onions to the crust, starting with onions, then broccoli ending with cheese. Pour in the milk/egg mixture to the crust. Add grated Parmesan (to taste) to the top. Bake quiche for 25–30 minutes or till top is browned and doesn't jiggle.


I teach a Wireshark class at Brucon 2015.
I took a closer look at Metasploit's Meterpreter network traffic when reverse http mode is used.
The client sends an HTTP POST request with a 4-byte payload: RECV. The URI has the following pattern: 4 or 5 alphanumeric characters, an underscore and 16 alphanumeric characters. The 16 alphanumeric characters are chosen at random, and the 4 or 5 alphanumeric characters are some kind of checksum.
I checked Meteasploit's source code: these characteristics of Meterpreter's Reverse HTTP protocol are hardcoded.
What is not hardcoded, but parametrized with a variable, is the User Agent String. By default, it is "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.1; Windows NT)", but it is an option that can be changed.
I've tested the detection of Metasploit Meterpreter traffic with this User Agent String in several environments, and never encountered a false positive. You might think that "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.1; Windows NT)" is quite common as a User Agent String, but it is not. "MSIE 6.1" is pretty rare (according to Wikipedia, there is no Internet Explorer version 6.1), and "Windows NT" without version number is also rare. Combined, I've never seen this User Agent String except for Metasploit Meterpreter traffic. The only User Agent String seen in-the-wild that comes close to this one is "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.1; Windows XP)". But I suggest that you check your environment for this Metasploit User Agent String if you want to be sure no false positives will be generated in your environment.
But like I said, the User Agent String is an option, and can be easily changed by the Metasploit operator. That's why I also developed a method to detect Metasploit Meterpreter Reverse HTTP traffic looking for its hardcoded characteristics: a POST request with RECV payload to a recognizable URI.
This Snort rule looks for traffic from your internal network to the outside. You need to change the rule if you want to detect internal-only traffic.
Remark that I commented-out the Snort rules that I expect to generate too many false positives. But it's best that you check what User Agent Strings are common in your environment, before you deploy and uncomment these rules.
Update: these rules are designed for an environment where egress traffic has to go to an HTTP port. If your environment allows all destination ports (like Metasploit's default 4444 port), then replace $HTTP_PORTS by any in the rules you deploy. Thanks @securitygen for the remark.
Rule IOS_canary.yara searches for a canary value inside the blocks.

ITF chief supports women's rights but won't suspend tournaments in China over Peng Shuai case
Ayanda Frances Felem
International Tennis Federation (ITF) President David Haggerty insists although his organisation supports all women's rights they don't want to punish a billion people by suspending tournaments in China in light of the Peng Shuai situation.
This comes after the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) suspended tournaments in China immediately following a backlash after former doubles world No 1 Peng accused a top government official of sexual assault.

The 35-year-old Peng, in a deleted post in November, accused retired Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli of pressuring her into having sex.
However, the men's professional tennis association, the ATP said it won't follow suit and suspend tournaments.
Haggerty warns against punishing ordinary citizens.
"As the governing body of tennis, we stand in support of all women's rights," David Haggerty has told BBC Sport.
"The allegations need to be looked into, and we will continue to work behind the scenes and directly to bring this to resolution."

— ITF (@ITFTennis) December 2, 2021
He added: "But you have to remember that the ITF is the governing body of the sport worldwide, and one of the things that we are responsible for is grassroots development.
"We don't want to punish a billion people, so we will continue to run our junior events in the country and our senior events that are there for the time being."

Cycling cities do not occur in nature; they need to be built
by Brian Paul Giron
May 25, 20207 min read52 views
The idea of a cycling city seems so far from the mind of a Filipino. We encounter them in our travels, we happily partake in the experience of cycling transport overseas, and then we come back to our beloved Metro Manila where we resume lives under the mindless oppression of car-centrism.
There are also reasons that we have invented to justify our dependence on cars. We say it's too hot, too humid, too polluted, too dangerous, too much trouble, and too many other unconsidered fallacies that are paralysing despite being unfounded.
Perhaps, the worst idea is that a cycling city is possible in Copenhagen or in Berlin—but it is not possible in Philippine cities. It is as if these foreign cities have just always been cycling-friendly. Like their settlers arrived at the scene on penny-farthings and built their cities to support bikes from day one. Or that motor vehicles never invaded the public spaces of Amsterdam or Tokyo.
But these aren't true at all.
Cycling cities do not occur in nature. They are painstakingly built by people. They are fought for by populations that can no longer stand the tyranny of cars, by parents who want safer streets for their children, by people who want their city to be liveable, and by humans who imagine better. These efforts are almost never initiated by governments, and are supported not only by cyclists but rather by a larger community of common people with the sense to see that cycling cities are liveable cities.
Because a cycling city benefits us all. And it takes more than just government or cyclists to push for it
Kindermoord protests in Amsterdam
In his book, Bike Boom: The Unexpected Resurgence of Cycling, Carlton Reid discusses how the Dutch have been building separated bikeways longer than any other nation. The turn of the 20th Century saw a boom in bike ownership especially following the invention of pneumatic tires, which were actually originally designed for use with cycles. Before this, tires were usually made of solid rubber which by all accounts made for a terrible experience because of how bumpy and jarring rides were. Nicholas Oddy also notes that pneumatic tires made bikes accessible to women because the comfort provided by this new technology made it easier to ride without compromising dress codes!
While bike ownership in Amsterdam continued to rise in the post-war period, the 1960s saw a dramatic rise in car ownership to the detriment of cycling transport. By the 1970s, car traffic had become a problem and motor accidents began to take a toll. In 1971 alone there were 3,300 reported fatalities with 400 of that number being children.
These conditions led to protests by different groups, including what would become remembered as the 'Stop the Kindermoord' protests which literally translates to 'Stop the murder of children.'
Photo by Rob Mieremet, National Archives of the Netherlands / Fotocollectie Anefo
Through protracted protest action and activism in the 1970s, groups like Stop the Kindermoord, Fietsersbond, and political movements like the Provos brought cycling transport back to the consciousness of the Netherlands.
Policies such as the 1978 Bottleneck Report and Traffic Circulation Plan not only placed cycling transport back as priority, it actively promoted traffic calming measures as well as pushed for softer methods of disincentivizing cars.
Sidewalk cycling in Japan
The car ownership boom of the post-war period also became a problem in Japan in the 1970s. The Japanese government did not push for cycling infrastructure like the Netherlands, but instead passed a controversial law in 1970 allowing people on bikes to ride on designated sidewalks along with pedestrians.
While there is a general perception that Japan is bike friendly, it is interesting to note that Japan does not actually have an extensive network of designated, separated, or protected bikeways. Instead, people either ride on the road with motorised traffic or on designated mixed-use sidewalks with pedestrians.
Japan has accelerated its construction of bike support infrastructure since 2007 when it designated 98 districts across the country as "bicycle road model districts" or districts that would receive special attention for the building of bike roads and bike lanes. Support structures for cycling are also well-developed in Japan especially end-of-trip facilities such as bike parking, or bi-modal options such as allowing bikes aboard trains.
For many Japanese, a bicycle is a matter of fact for practical transport. It is cheaper by far, possible over longer distances through bi-modal options, and given consideration by motor vehicles when found on the road.
Le Monde à bicyclette in Montreal
In the 1970s, the bicycle was experiencing another boom in North America for various reasons. Baby boomers were getting into fitness and counterculture, and the bicycle was the vehicle of choice for both. But many of these new cyclists found themselves sharing the roads with motorised traffic, and traffic accidents became a serious problem.
The example of Montreal in the 1970s is interesting because it sounds very familiar: roads were considered dangerous to cyclists because of car-centric policies, bikes were not allowed on buses or trains, and end-of-trip facilities were scarce.
The founding of Le Monde à bicyclette (MAB) in 1975 allowed cyclists to band together to fight for cycling transport. MAB pushed its agenda through protest action, critical mass events, and interesting methods such as painting guerrilla bike lanes and cyclo-dramas which were skits that represented the issues that bike commuters faced on a daily basis in their city.
While MAB was controversial in its methods, it was successful in bringing the bike to the forefront of public discourse in Canada, and Montreal has since become one of the most cycling-friendly cities in the world.
Building cycling cities
There are other cities too that are in various stages of becoming cycling cities. Bogota comes to mind with its Ciclovía which has ideas that the Philippines can easily implement such as car-free Sundays. Perth in Western Australia only started its Western Australian Bicycle Network Plan in 2014, but has invested heavily in bikeways and has created extensive networks within a 15km radius of its central business district.
Perth's bike network is relatively new but already runs beyond its original target of connecting areas within 15 kilometers of its central business district.
It is not hard to see our own cities in many of these examples: dangerous and choking on our car-dependency, with so many of our people riding bikes while the uninformed and obnoxious go around saying that it's not possible. In many ways, the actual obstacles to making our cities bike-friendly are not as problematic as our inability to imagine better.
There are worse climates to cycle in. There are hillier cities to ride in. There are worse conditions than ours. There have been cities more car-dependent than Metro Manila. But when people come together to build cycling cities they are possible anywhere—and our cities are no exception.
Cycling cities do not occur in nature; they need to be built.

Things to eat in Iceland
You've probably heard about some of the weird and wacky delicacies that Icelanders love to see travellers eat, from hakarl (fermented shark) to svid (boiled sheep's head) and even surir hrutspungar (sour ram's testicles!). But Icelandic food delivers so much more than shock value. Flanked by the North Atlantic Ocean and populated by almost twice the amount of sheep as humans, Iceland understandably boasts a cuisine dominated by seafood and local lamb. The country's specialities are all about keeping you warm, using what's local, and packing a traditional punch.
Must-try dishes in Iceland
Surprisingly, hot dogs are one of Iceland's most iconic fast foods, and are found all over the country. It will also probably be the cheapest meal you'll have during your visit! Order one and you can choose your toppings – sweet mustard, ketchup, raw onions, deep-fried onions or remoulade. If you can't decide, just ask for 'eina med ollu' – one with everything.
Hardfiskur
Iceland's diet includes plenty of potatoes and lamb, but seafood trumps all – sourced fresh year-round from the waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic and prepared in a variety of ways. Be sure to try the delicacy of Hardfiskur: a salty fish jerky, best enjoyed slathered with butter. It's usually made from cod, but haddock or wolffish can also be used.
Rugbraud
Rye bread, known to locals as rugbraud, is a common side to most meals in Iceland, but the preferred way of cooking the loaves is quite unique. Traditionally, the bread is buried near a natural hot spring, sprinkled with sugar and left to gently steam for up to 24 hours. The end result is dense and cake-like, with a slightly sweet taste. Spread with some butter and enjoy alongside a traditional Icelandic soup, some slow-roasted lamb or – of course – fish.
Kjotsupa
Iceland's cold climate and grazing pastures have, throughout the centuries, shaped the cuisine today. One of the best ways to enjoy all the local produce on offer is by feasting on kjotsupa, an Icelandic meat soup. Every Icelandic family will have their own spin on this local favourite, but it usually consists of lamb shank or shoulder, with root vegetables like potato, carrot and swede, and mixed dried herbs.
Skyr has been a popular yoghurt product in Iceland for centuries, despite it technically being a very soft cheese. It's very similar to greek yoghurt but has a milder flavour. Eat it like the locals do at any time of the day – for breakfast with some berries, as a snack, or as a dessert topping. It's also the star ingredient in a popular type of light cheesecake called skyrkaka.
Name a food and chances are Icelanders have tried to add liquorice to it. Black liquorice is beloved by locals and found in a wide range of desserts and candy bars. If you're in Reykjavik, head to Valdis to try a cone filled with salted black liquorice ice cream. Even if the weather's cold, the ice cream joints will be open!

Paglia: The Drinking Age Is Past Its Prime
Posted: April 23, 2014 | Author: Pundit Planet | Filed under: Art & Culture, Food & Drink, Law & Justice, Mediasphere | Tags: Alcoholic beverage, Carrie Nation, Kerry Kennedy, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, National Minimum Drinking Age Act, United Arab Emirates, United States, Virginia Woolf |1 Comment
The age 21 rule sets the United States apart from all advanced Western nations, and it has pushed kids toward pills and other anti-social behavior.
Neil Davies
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act, passed by Congress 30 years ago this July, is a gross violation of civil liberties and must be repealed. It is absurd and unjust that young Americans can vote, marry, enter contracts, and serve in the military at 18 but cannot buy an alcoholic drink in a bar or restaurant. The age 21 rule sets the United States apart from all advanced Western nations and lumps it with small or repressive countries like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Indonesia, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
Congress was stampeded into this puritanical law by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), who with all good intentions were wrongly intruding into an area of personal choice exactly as did the hymn-singing 19th-century Temperance crusaders, typified by Carrie Nation smashing beer barrels with her hatchet. Temperance fanaticism eventually triumphed and gave us 14 years of Prohibition. That in turn spawned the crime syndicates for booze smuggling, laying the groundwork for today's global drug trade. Thanks a lot, Carrie!
Now that marijuana regulations have been liberalized in Colorado, it's time to strike down this dictatorial national law. Government is not our nanny. The decrease in drunk-driving deaths in recent decades is at least partly attributable to more uniform seat-belt use and a strengthening of DWI penalties. Today, furthermore, there are many other causes of traffic accidents, such as the careless use of cell phones or prescription drugs like Ambien – implicated in the recent trial and acquittal of Kerry Kennedy for driving while impaired.
Learning how to drink responsibly is a basic lesson in growing up — as it is in wine-drinking France or in Germany, with its family-oriented beer gardens and festivals. Wine was built into my own Italian-American upbringing, where children were given sips of my grandfather's home-made wine. This civilized practice descends from antiquity. Beer was a nourishing food in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and wine was identified with the life force in Greece and Rome: In vino veritas (in wine, truth). Wine as a sacred symbol of unity and regeneration remains in the Christian Communion service. Virginia Woolf wrote that wine with a fine meal lights a "subtle and subterranean glow, which is the rich yellow flame of rational intercourse."
What this cruel 1984 law did is deprive young people of safe spaces where they could happily drink cheap beer, socialize, chat, and flirt in a free but controlled public environment. Hence in the 1980s we immediately got the scourge of crude binge drinking at campus fraternity keg parties, cut off from the adult world. Women in that boorish free-for-all were suddenly fighting off date rape. Club drugs — Ecstasy, methamphetamine, ketamine (a veterinary tranquilizer) — surged at raves for teenagers and on the gay male circuit scene.
Alcohol relaxes, facilitates interaction, inspires ideas, and promotes humor and hilarity. Used in moderation, it is quickly flushed from the system, with excess punished by a hangover. But deadening pills, such as today's massively overprescribed anti-depressants, linger in body and brain and may have unrecognized long-term side effects…(read more)

Some of you may be interested in a new article of mine on how libraries can inspire reading among teenagers, particularly teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds. It has just been published in IBBYLink, the journal of the UK branch of IBBY, the International Board on Books for Young People. The spur for the article was a session I ran on the subject as part of a seminar for the University of Missouri on public libraries for social justice.
Teenage reading, and libraries' role in encouraging it, are big passions of mine. I took the photo at a great Warhammer session at South Woodford Library in Redbridge. Crowds of young people regularly beat a path to the library on Friday nights. I was fascinated by the amount of reading I saw, as they checked up on intricate gaming rules, battle formations and characters. Several boys told me how Warhammer had made them into much keener readers as it has introduced them to fantasy and science fiction. Just one example of the impact libraries can have.

Baitullah Mehsud (ur. 1974, zm. 23 sierpnia 2009) – przywódca talibańskiego ugrupowania zbrojnego Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan w latach 2007–2009.

Był założycielem i przywódcą ugrupowania Ruch Talibanu w Pakistanie (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan), działającemu głównie na terenach plemiennych, w pobliżu granicy z Afganistanem. Odpowiedzialny za zamachy bombowe na budynki rządowe, obarczany odpowiedzialnością za zamach na Benazir Bhutto.

W czerwcu 2009 armia pakistańska rozpoczęła ofensywę w górskim Waziristanie, gdzie miał ukrywać się Mehsud. Lotnictwo pakistańskie i amerykańskie przeprowadziło kilkadziesiąt nalotów na bazy talibów. 5 sierpnia w okolicach Peszawaru atak przeprowadził bezzałogowy amerykański samolot. W wyniku tego miało zginąć 2 bojowników i żona Mehsuda. Następnie pojawiły się spekulacje, iż w ataku zginął prawdopodobnie sam Baitullah Mehsud. Schwytany 17 sierpnia działacz pakistańskich talibów Mauvi Omar, dzień później potwierdził śmierć Baitullaha Mehuda w amerykańskim bombardowaniu. Kilka dni po nalocie do agencji Associated Press zadzwonili dwaj ludzie (Hakimullah Mehsud i Wali-ur-Rehman), podający się za zastępców Mehsuda. Poinformowali o śmierci swego dotychczasowego przywódcy, stwierdzając jednak, że zmarł kilka dni po ataku (25 sierpnia), na skutek odniesionych ran.

Następcą Baitullaha w Tehrik-i-Taliban został Hakimullah Mehsud (zabity 1 listopada 2013).

Emmy Poll 2014: What Should Win Best Reality-Competition Series?

In nine of the 11 years that there's been an Emmy award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Series, the statuette has gone to The Amazing Race.

Strawberry Coconut Cake – a light, moist, heavenly coconut cake topped with creamy frosting; served with fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce. A guaranteed way to make any occasion deliciously elegant!
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, FORK IN THE KITCHEN!
For years I wanted to start a food blog; I was always taking photos of food, I loved to bake, and being in the kitchen was my happy place. I fell in love with photography in high school, and my secret little dream was to have a house with my own dark room. Well, technology has other ideas and the high hopes of my own darkroom aren't exactly realistic anymore. Things change, I adapt, and now we're here.
I never really pursued any kind of photography once college started, but it was always in the back of my mind. After my first year of teaching, I finally invested in my first dSLR camera. But guess what, that pesky thing called fear stopped me from doing anything with it. Well, anything more extensive than practicing once in awhile in my kitchen, or walking around the Johns Hopkins campus snapping some shots. The little voice in my head held me back from taking it any further.
Side note: if you've had something in the back of your mind that you've been putting off out of fear, GO DO IT! You deserve to at least see where it leads you, because you just never know.
I was in North Carolina, living on an island, but more-or-less in the middle of nowhere (which is still true). I had picked up an "in between" job when I first moved down to finally be in the same city as Jason and to get out of Baltimore. Moving was my new adventure, and a chance to regain my sanity after the past two years of teaching. I wasn't sure I wanted to go back into the classroom, and I wanted to take the time to decide. I always thought I wanted to teach, and now, I had some serious cognitive dissonance going on, because the one thing I thought I always wanted to do, I wasn't so sure about anymore. And nothing confuses a girl more.
Jason was at the beginning of a seven month deployment when the small law firm I worked for downsized, and I quickly found myself unemployed.
What do they say – chaos precedes great change?
This unemployment, while being in a new city and state, alone, was exactly what I needed to finally take the plunge to start my food blog – because no matter where I've been in life, when it throws me lemons I find myself in the kitchen. Everything about being in the kitchen is like therapy for me – it helps me think clearly and brings balance back to me when life gets hectic. So I knew that in this weird, strange, confusing time in life, when I didn't know what I wanted to do, I knew testing out a new recipe or kneading dough for homemade baguettes made me happy, it made sense.
Thus, Fork in the Kitchen was born; I was at a fork in the road of life, and the kitchen was my answer.
And so, one year ago, I looked fear in the face, told it to f-off, and realized that I didn't need to be perfect to pursue something I love. It takes vulnerability to live a wholehearted life (who said it first? Love me some Brene Brown).
I've grown immensely in the past year- as a photographer, recipe developer, writer, and human being.
I cannot thank YOU enough for being on this journey with me – for celebrating food and life together, because none of us have to be perfect to chase the things we love.
Now that we've got the background of how we got to where we are, let's get to the reason we're all here — the birthday cake.
Here we have two layers of light, moist, coconut cake, and it's basically Heaven on Earth. When you didn't think it could get any better, the rich, creamy, smooth coconut cream cheese frosting makes each bite melt in your mouth.
Then the strawberry sauce. Ohmygod. Let the sun shine down, because there's no better combination to be had. OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD.
Listen up though – you must sift the flour as directed in the recipe. I tested this cake a few times, and this last time I sifted the flour. Now, I know I'm confessing a baking sin here, but I don't always sift my flour when I'm supposed to. IT WAS THE BEST VERSION OF THIS CAKE YET. Sifting was the only thing I did differently – so I am begging you – follow this step. All I do is use a fine mesh strainer to sift flour, as I don't have a technical flour sifter, so y'all don't have to worry. It takes two seconds and makes all the difference.
Unfortunately, this is my only shot of the cake with strawberry sauce (and it's not as pretty as I'd like – no need to be perfect, see story above). While the cake is super delish with just fresh strawberries, I highly suggest making the strawberry sauce too – it definitely takes it to the next level without much more effort.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for supporting Fork in the Kitchen for the past year – cheers to YOU!
Now go ahead, let's sing happy birthday, take a picture, and tag Fork in the Kitchen on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter!
Strawberry Coconut Cake – a light moist, heavenly cake topped with creamy frosting; served with fresh strawberries and strawberry sauce. A guaranteed way to make any occasion deliciously elegant!
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two round 9-inch cake pans; line the bottom with parchment paper.
Microwave buttermilk for approximately 20 seconds, or until lukewarm. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and baking soda. Set aside; liquid will expand.
In another medium mixing bowl, sift flour and stir in coconut. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar and butter until thoroughly combined. Once sugar and butter is creamed, add room temperature egg yolks one at a time, beating between each addition. Mix in vanilla, almond, and coconut extracts. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk in 2 additions, beating just until blended between each addition.
Using clean beaters, beat egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in half of the egg white mixture into the batter until combined. Fold the rest of the egg white mixture just until blended. Divide evenly between cake pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean and cake bounces back when lightly touched. Cool on cooling rack for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife around edges, invert pan onto cooling rack, and gently remove parchment paper from the bottom of the cake. Cool cake completely before frosting.
Using an electric mixer, blend together cream cheese, butter, and coconut extract. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, blending between each addition and scraping sides as needed. Continue blending for 3-5 minutes on medium speed until light, fluffy, and smooth.
On a cooled cake, frost one layer's top, place the second layer on top, and frost top and sides of cake. Lightly pat shredded coconut on top and edges of cake.
In a food processor, puree diced strawberries, preserves, and lemon juice. Serve on side of a slice of cake.
Don't forget to sift the flour!
That's awesome to hear, Tressa! Thank you so much for commenting!

We can tell you right now that Snowbird is where you'll want to spend your next winter vacation. The only way that wouldn't be true is if you don't like amazing fresh powder, magnificent terrain, epic views, world-class lodging accommodations and amazing dining selections wrapped in a family friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a family looking to get away while still enjoying each other's company or a die-hard winter sports enthusiast, Snowbird is a destination that will leave you smiling.
Having opened in 1971, Snowbird is a year-round resort located in the heart of the Wasatch National Forest. With over 40 years of history to its name, visitors have long appreciated the long ski season, in fact the longest in Utah that the resort offers its guests. Lodging accommodations are not quite as plentiful as many other resorts, though what it does have to offer more than makes up for that. There's just something about being able to sit in the hot tub outside your lodging during a cold mountain sunset while staring at the snow-capped peaks that makes you happy.
Perfect for families or individuals looking to get away without breaking the bank, there are plenty of reasons to make Snowbird your next destination. If you're looking to shake it up a bit from the usual day of skiing, checkout a guided snowcat adventure, some exciting snowmobiling or a peaceful snowshoe hike. The culinary options at Snowbird range from casual to fine dining, and with 15 restaurants to choose from, you're sure to find something delicious to satisfy your hunger pangs. As for shopping, don't forget to check out one of the various shops around the resort to grab some Snowbird keepsakes to bring home with you. Of course, after a few days on the mountain, you'll want to distress, so make your way to The Cliff Spa for massages that will relax your sore muscles and have you back on the mountain in no time.
Sitting at the head of Little Cottonwood Canyon along with neighbor resort Alta, with which Snowbird shares Mount Baldy, not mention access points and lift tickets, Snowbird receives an average snowfall of 500 inches (1,270 centimeters) due largely to the lake-effect enhancement from the Great Salt Lake. Add that to the 2,500 skiable acres (1,012 hectares) and you're likely to find yourself in a winter paradise that is seemingly always filled with fresh powder while it snows more often than not. The 89 runs are serviced by 13 individual chairlifts and cater to skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels, with 27% of the terrain designated for beginners, 38% for intermediate levels and 35% for expert skiers. What's more, skiers can take advantage of Mineral Basin, the back bowl that Snowbird shares with Alta. Unfortunately, due to Alta's "Skier's Only" Policy, snowboarders are not allowed in Mineral Basin, but the rest of Snowbird is fair game.
So, if Snowbird sounds like a place you would like to spend your next vacation, or if you'd like to get some more firsthand insight about the resort and all it has to offer, please give us a call. Our friendly, knowledgeable Destination Specialists are standing by to assist you.


Yesterday was spent helping my mother sort through one of the last two storage units they have in Indiana. Amidst stacks and stacks of boxes, we found half a dozen boxes of my things -- mostly books, some files over ten years old, Dev's old toys.
I jumped up and did a dance of joy. I'd found a full copy of a novella I'd thought lost forever in a computer crash five years ago. I stayed up far too late last night reading it. It still holds together and I'm still mostly happy with it, though I can see where I made changes I'd like to un-make.
That is my project for the week.
Now the only piece of writing that seems utterly and forever lost is a short story about Marty Dust and his Shelby. Alas, I did so love that story.
But! I have Serpent's Bedouin in hand! I'll start on it this evening.
The best kind of rediscovery!
Oh, yes! I grinned about it all day long.
That's so awesome! Congratulations! It's wonderful to make a writing discovery like that.

Exercise 'does not compensate' for drinking too much
Sweating off alcohol does not work even though some believe exercise helps you get over a hangover, ministers have said.

Poor and Gluten Free (with Oral Allergy Syndrome): Lady of the Caravan is here!!
Lady of the Caravan is here!!
It's here! It's here! Lady of the Caravan, the 4th novel in my romance series, is finally here!
It took longer than expected because... well, the novel itself is longer than I planned for - mostly because the characters themselves grew so much more than anticipated over the course of the story.
Penebui began as a rather romantic, imaginative young woman, and after several weeks of strife in the desert, she developed into a mature, strong heroine. Her love-story is both intense and forbidden.
And, of course, there is plenty of action and humour in the desert.
So read on for more detail, or GET IT NOW on Kindle (other formats becoming available daily, so check with your favourite eBook and print retailer).
Penebui is certain she'll fall madly in love with her new husband… once she makes the long journey across the unfamiliar desert to meet him, that is. She knows her duty is to marry strategically, and the chief of one of the most powerful nomadic desert tribes could help save her beloved cousin's delicate regency. There are just a few small obstacles to overcome; Penebui has never stepped foot into the desert, the man chosen to lead her to her fate scorns her, and someone might be trying to kill her.
Menes has one last duty to fulfill before he can settle into his new life as the commander of an oasis outpost. All he needs to do is get the queen's cousin safely across the desert so that she can marry the head of his tribe, a simple enough task for an experienced caravan leader such as himself. Except the woman in his charge draws trouble with every step, and she refuses to listen to a thing he says.
Follow Penebui and Menes as they brave the dangers of the great desert to prevent a tribal war that threatens the peace of Kemet.

Life isn't always easy and we know that we will all die. The church has been here over the centuries to help us make sense of death and to provide comfort. You don't need to be a regular churchgoer or particularly religious to have a church-led funeral – in a church, at a crematorium or cemetery. The service can be very traditional or a more informal celebration of life. The minister will talk to you about the service you want and how you would like us to help you in honouring your loved one's life.
Please ask the funeral directors to contact the Team Rector or Team Vicar while you are arranging the funeral.


Hey! How's this for an earthworm? The chickens would go crazy if they found it. It would be smorgasbord time. The overnight rain brought this large earthworm out of the ground. There are snakes smaller than this earthworm. You can see that it wouldn't take too many of these earthworms burrowing through your soil to keep it light and fluffy. Have 25 to 75 of these per square foot, and they will do a bang-up job aerating the soil and keeping it very porous. The last thing you want to do is till the soil. One pass with a tiller through a vegetable bed, and you'll kill thousands of earthworms.
The hens don't know what they're missing. Or maybe they've all gorged on giant earthworms already and are stuffed. They have been up for several hours. It's gossip and preening time.

Negative Covid-19 test to become MANDATORY for Slovakians to go to work, visit countryside — RT World News
This Is the Remnant of a Star That Exploded 1,700 Years Ago
Home/Sports/Masters 2021: Shaun Murphy sets up last-eight meeting with defending champion Stuart Bingham
Masters 2021: Shaun Murphy sets up last-eight meeting with defending champion Stuart Bingham
Shaun Murphy won the Masters in 2015
Dates: 10-17 January Venue: Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes
Coverage: Watch live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button, BBC Sport website and the BBC Sport app. Highlights on BBC Two and online.
Shaun Murphy reached the quarter-finals of the Masters with an impressive 6-4 victory over two-time champion Mark Williams.
Murphy sealed his win with a superb 47 clearance as Williams looked poised to take it to a final-frame decider.
The Welshman had earlier fought back from 3-1 down and made two century breaks in an absorbing contest.
Murphy will face defending champion Stuart Bingham in the last eight after he beat Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 6-4.
Prior to the match Williams had spoken about the surreal nature of playing the Masters behind closed doors due to Covid-19.
However, once the action got under way there was a very familiar feel to proceedings.
Murphy's opening break of 93 met with a response of 108 from three-time world champion Williams and signalled the beginning of a high-quality contest.
A half-century break helped Murphy take the third frame, while an unintentional pot on the pink was followed by a magnificent long black down the side cushion to give him a healthy 3-1 lead at the interval.
But on his 23rd appearance at the tournament, 45-year-old Williams responded with another break of 108 on his way to levelling the match at 3-3.
That set things up for a tense finale, where the players initially traded frames before Murphy finally pulled clear.
"It is always very rewarding when you can step up when you have to and pot those balls to win the game," Murphy said.
"It's alright leading off with a 100 or a 90, everyone can do that, but not everyone can do that [under pressure] and it might make a difference at some stage."
Bingham holds Un-Nooh at bay
Earlier on Monday, Bingham was forced to hold off a spirited fightback from Un-Nooh before advancing.
At 5-1 up and on for a maximum 147 break, a Bingham foul sparked a revival from the Thai debutant, who reeled off three frames in quick succession, compiling breaks of 80 and 113 before the Englishman sealed a nervy victory.
Former world champion Bingham had made a break of 114 on his way to establishing a commanding lead.
But in the seventh frame the prestige of a maximum break, and the £15,000 in prize money attached, almost proved his undoing when the white went into the bottom left corner pocket as he tried to force a red into the left middle.
"Maybe I was a bit unlucky to go in off," Bingham said. "That gave him an easy starter and then the onslaught started.
"I was sitting in my chair for about half an hour thinking, what have I done here? A bit stupid or a bit mad, so it was lucky for me. I'm over the moon to get a win."

Madam, I like your blogs a lot, Alhamdulillah you are patriot and person with Islamic values. I agree with whole of the post but question arises that it is more or less nature of this nation. You are writing it at relatively lower level. I wont be surprised if some day you start writing in newspaper columns or come on TV, you would also join this filthy business of our media persons. The desire to bridge the Economic Disparity and that too all of the sudden has made all of us senseless and utter hungry for the illicit ways of making money. A person with caring heart can only weep on it, nothing else!

Tap Dancing Elephant Seals and a Student Blogger invade Monday Night
There is a power that comes from knowing what it feels like to be truthful and vulnerable onstage. Conversely, there is a sense of frustration that goes along with that power when an actor can sense that they are not as truthful and vulnerable as they are capable of being. Both Kieran and Ana of the Monday night class are of this tribe, as are many of the students who work with Cay. Recently I got together with a friend who has been taking an acting intensive at a different studio. The instructor at this studio worked through aggressive pursuit of the truth, often stopping scenes before the first lines of dialogue had been spoken. The friend recounted stories of being told to describe deeply personal events in front of the class, of being asked to strip naked, of moment after moment of being forced to step out of his comfort zone. Is this crazy, he wanted to know? Should he be concerned?
Caitlin and Kaija in the first scene of the night from "All That Intimacy"
The Monday night class at the beginning of this month featured two guests. The first was myself, sitting in the back row, scratching away on the pages of my notebook.
The second guest took the form of a repetitive stomping sound upstairs, which may or may not have been a cross fit class designed for elephant seals.
"There's a BUNCH of them!" Kieran muttered at the ceiling, before charging out of the room to fulfill his duties as class monitor by asking the elephant seals to tread a little bit lighter.
(This was one of many excellent quotes by Kieran on Monday night. Highlights include "Does anyone know how to break a heartburn pill in half?" before class began, and "Maybe there was a strong gust of wind?" in reference to his [slightly] tardy scene partner.)
Magic happens when an actor takes an environmental distraction that is out of their control and turns it into a circumstance that feeds their scene. It takes a disciplined type of artist to not become flustered, and during Alex and Geoff's "Blue Surge" scene the drumming would have been a distraction if not for a well timed glance up by Geoff during a particularly tense moment. With an upwards flick of his eyes our little studio is suddenly believable as the squalid apartment of Geoff's character stuck in a dead end policing job.
Alex and Geoff rehearsing "Blue Surge"
Kieran's own scene was from "Belleville", a play that I hold near to my heart after my own work on it with Migina last year. Their scene comes from the end of the play, an epic sequence that begins with the revelation of a lie and ends in a suicide. It is in Cay's own words, a monster of a scene, and after a pair of starts and stops in the rehearsal process he and Ana (who did not get blown away by a strong gust of wind) manage to get through the whole piece. They are both visibly frustrated when they finish.
Kieran in "Belleville"
Cay offers Ana the chance to speak first.
Ana: I feel disconnected…like okay, I don't know what's happening here, and I don't want to swallow the whole chunk…
Cay: Well, what I'm seeing is that you are working off the moment without any inner objects in place. Sometimes working off the moment is is enough. But this play is a massive role, and this is a dramatic moment, and I think it would be difficult to get enough from just the scene.
Ana: I'm still looking for the feeling of…
She takes a moment and uses her hands to indicate the whole room, her partner, herself.
Cay: Well I don't think you have to look for feeling, I think you have to look for a stimulus.
Ana: What's the difference between stimulus and a feeling?
Cay: A stimulus causes a feeling.
Ana: My fear is that the stimulus won't always be there.
Cay: When you find the feeling does it always stay?
Ana: Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.
Cay: What I'm saying is with a feeling you'll recognize that the engine is going, the the feeling is there and now it's time to act. You want to get something that has a handle that you can pick up and return to. Those things can be phrases, a piece of music, a moment of physicalization…
She pauses for a second to think.
Cay (cont'd): Have you ever been hung over? What is the dominate physical response?
Ana: It's in my…
Her hands find the top of her head, and then move to massage her stomach.
Cay: Okay, that is what you're working for here. The desire to eat, to lay down, the pain in your upper back.
At this point, Cay tells us a story about one of the few times she has ever been truly hung over. She tells it somewhat regularly in class, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind me sharing some minor details here, including the punch line which is that after spending hours on a couch in a hangover hole she finally pulled her faculties together enough to find who the tiny voice in her apartment crying "Help. help." for the last few hours had been. The answer was herself.
In response, Ana relates a personal story about the experience of being hung over during a particularly difficult day. One detail sticks out in particular, a trash can, and after she finishes her story, Cay has the class trash can moved so that it is next to her on the couch.
Cay: Okay. Look at the trash can. Does it give you anything?
Ana: It makes me really sad. Because I remember the funeral.
She begins massaging her stomach with her open hands.
Ana (cont'd): I have something but I don't know what it means yet.
Cay: You don't need to know what it means yet, you need to know that it gives you something.
"Belleville" second rehearsal
Ana in "Belleville"
Kieran and Ana's begin the scene again, this time with a new level depth that had been missing previously. Not that their scene had lacked it entirely. I sometimes compare the process of discovery in Cay's class to wood working; the use of a physical object for stimulus was a planer shaving off another layer of warped surface to reveal the healthy, raw grain below.
Cay asks Ana how this rehearsal felt compared to the last rehearsal.
Ana: It's the same thing every time, Cay. I'm like here, and then I'm all over here, and then I'm like "okay Ana, let's calm down and listen to the nice lady…" I was afraid to go there one hundred percent. Most of my life right now is auditioning, so I'm used to tying things to people and memory.
Cay laughs at this.
Cay: The nice lady does know what she's talking about sometimes. When you looked at the wastebasket it seemed to give you something. What I was trying to give you was that there could be stimulus outside of yourself, and if you find a stimulus that can get you there it will be more reliable than simply looking for a feeling. The stimulus can take you to the people and memories.
To return to the question I posed at the top of this piece, is there a difference between the teacher that my friend is now studying with and what the teachers at the Caymichael Patten studio are doing? Is one better than the other?
For whatever my opinion is worth, no, it's not crazy, and neither way is more or less correct. Acting defies decryption at every turn, in the same way that painting and music and all other art forms do. You can not understand because you can not crawl into the head of the individual performer.
Again, for whatever my opinion is worth, a good acting teacher will tell you at first meeting that acting can not be taught. It can be rehearsed, it can be experienced, you can try at it and fail at it and try again and succeed.
With rare exceptions, a piece of woods will not turn itself into a chair. It requires a carpenter to guide it, to shape and smooth it, to apply layers of lacquer or wax as a sealant.
One of the other moments that caught my attention on Monday night came from the very first scene from the play "All This Intimacy". Caitlin and Kaija played two sisters, one seeking the other's blessing for her impending wedding. After the first run Cay poses a question to Kaija about what her character wants out of the scene.
Cay: You want something. What do you want? You want her blessing you tell her straight out. You want your family to be there for you.
Kaija: Unless you don't.
Cay: Unless you don't. But why would you as an actor lower your stakes like that?
It is easy to imagine, in a different class setting, a teacher yelling the words "RAISE YOUR STAKES!" at an actor who isn't quite invested enough in their character's needs. It is easy to imagine because I have been in those classes. They are using different tools in the pursuit of the same result: artists who know how to behave truthfully under imaginary circumstances. When I last spoke to Cay she told me Ana had recently booked a role on a pilot. I was not surprised.
The teacher the friend in the story at the top was describing is the woodworker who prefers the mallet and the belt sander. Cay's tools are the hand planer and the carving knife. Each will get the job done, in time.
Wonderful! I hate that I wasn't in class that week! 🙂

Choosing an accurate palletizer can be quite an advantageous move. This one is designed for euro, industrial or chemical pallets and is suitable for any pallet material and bag type currently used in all common industries.
The CPL SERIES from PT Chronos is a high-level gripper head palletizer (also called Compact palletizer) which utilizes an ideal combination of robotic and traditional palletizing technologies, optimizing the benefits of both systems. The CPL palletizers feature an innovative automatic gripper technique and are available in two different versions to suit individual performance requirements.
The gripper technique ensures the exact positioning of the bags onto the pallet, particularly the precise positioning of overlapping bags for maximum pallet stability. The CPL SERIES can palletize from 400 up to 2,400 bags per hour (with a multi-pick-up gripper). The optional modules and variable layout configurations facilitate its adaptation to your available space.

ArrayList is a part of Collection framework and it is present in java. util package.
It provides dynamic arrays in Java.
The similarity between the array list and arrays is both are sequential.
For searching and sorting ArrayList is faster than LinkedList.
As ArrayList required the number of shifting operation so it is slower.
The difference between Array and ArrayList is Array is static and ArrayList is dynamic.
The similarity is both are sequential.
ArrayList allows duplicate and null values.
ArrayList is an ordered collection.
It is also called a dynamic array.

Stacked Bi-directional RNN for sequences.
This link is stacked version of Bi-directional RNN for sequences. Note that the activation function is tanh. It calculates hidden and cell states of all layer at end-of-string, and all hidden states of the last layer for each time.
Unlike chainer.functions.n_step_birnn(), this function automatically sort inputs in descending order by length, and transpose the sequence. Users just need to call the link with a list of chainer.Variable holding sequences.
hx (Variable or None) – Initial hidden states. If None is specified zero-vector is used. Its shape is (S, B, N) for uni-directional RNN and (2S, B, N) for bi-directional RNN where S is the number of layers and is equal to n_layers, B is the mini-batch size, and N is the dimension of the hidden units.
xs (list of ~chainer.Variable) – List of input sequences. Each element xs[i] is a chainer.Variable holding a sequence. Its shape is (L_i, I), where L_t is the length of a sequence for batch i, and I is the size of the input and is equal to in_size.
This function returns a tuple containing three elements, hy and ys.
hy is an updated hidden states whose shape is same as hx.
ys is a list of Variable . Each element ys[i] holds hidden states of the last layer corresponding to an input xs[i]. Its shape is (L_i, N) for uni-directional RNN and (L_i, 2N) for bi-directional RNN where L_t is the length of a sequence for batch i, and N is size of hidden units.

6 Maoists killed in encounter on Chhattisgarh-Telangana border
🔴 The Maoists are believed to be from the Cherla Area Committee and one of their senior leaders may be among the dead, police said
By: Express News Service | Hyderabad |
The interstate joint operation was carried out by the Greyhounds forces from Telangana and assisted by Chhattisgarh's DRG and the CRPF forces.
At least six Maoists, including four women, were killed in a gunfight with security forces in Pesalapadu forest area bordering Telangana's Bhadradri Kothagudem in Chattisgarh's Sukma district early on Monday morning, officials said.
The joint operation by the two states was carried out by the Greyhounds forces from Telangana and assisted by Chhattisgarh's District Reserve Guards (DRG) and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the officials said.
The Maoists are believed to be part of the Cherla Area Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). One of their senior leaders may be among the dead, the police said, adding that the deceased are yet to be identified.
Bhardradri Kothagudem Superintendent of Police Sunil Dutt said on Sunday the forces launched an operation after they received a tip-off about a group of Maoists camping in the Pesalpadu area, around 400km from Chhattisgarh's capital Raipur.
"The information was that they were preparing IEDs to attack police. A joint operation by Chattisgarh forces and Telangana Greyhounds was taken up and the encounter with the group of Maoists occurred between 6:30 am to 7 am. At least six Maoists have died. They are yet to be identified," Dutt said.
Bastar inspector-general P Sundarraj too said the operation was launched after specific intelligence. "The main action was with the Telangana forces and our men from CRPF and DRG provided support in the Kistaram area," he said.
