Q: Exim + ClamAV file access error I have a working Exim setup and wanted to add AV scanning to that. I followd the instructions for setting up ClamAV at this site. So now my permissions for the /var/spool/exim directory are as follows:
root@luxembourg:/var/spool/exim# ls -la
total 28
drwxrws---  6 exim exim 4096 2011-10-04 15:54 .
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 2011-09-30 13:45 ..
drwxrws---  2 exim exim 4096 2011-10-04 14:26 db

drwxrws---  2 exim exim 4096 2011-10-07 14:48 scan

Also, the clamav user is part of the exim group:
root@luxembourg:/var/spool/exim# grep clamav /etc/group
exim:x:1001:clamav
clamav:x:111:

Also, I have the following line in the clamd.conf file:
AllowSupplementaryGroups true

However, I get these errors:

I get these for ALL MAIL sent to my server and consequently, all mail is being "temporarily" rejected. This makes no sense to me, as the directory permissions are correct and clamav runs as the correct user.
I even tried running clamav with the exim user, but nothing changed (which is even more puzzling...).
Any ideas?

A: I ran into the same problem as you, it took me a while to figure out the root of the problem but eventually I have it up and running.
First; you have to edit the clamd apparmor profile in:

/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd

Since you installed from source, edit the following line:
# For use with exim
  /var/spool/exim4/** r,
to
# For use with exim
  /var/spool/exim/** r,
and then add this line:
/var/spool/exim/scan/** rw,

sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart to reload the profiles.

I still got permission errors after doing this though and I read that exim and clamav user permissions don't always play nicely together. So I setup clamd.conf to be run as the same user and group as exim.
In my case,

LocalSocketGroup yscheelen
User yscheelen

After restarting clamav-daemon I managed to send the virus string through Telnet.
Clamav.log output:

Sun Oct  9 22:27:16 2011 -> /var/spool/exim/scan/1RCzxo-0007tg-DW/1RCzxo-0007tg-DW.eml: Eicar-Test-Signature(75b94725bb947ffef38ede71495c5106:605) FOUND

Exim.log output:

2011-10-09 22:26:06 1RCzwh-0007tC-OE Completed
  2011-10-09 22:27:16 1RCzxo-0007tg-DW H=localhost [127.0.0.1] F= rejected after DATA: This message contains a virus (Eicar-Test-Signature).

Good luck bro

A: Just add the user used by clamav to the group used by exim. In the case of Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo adduser clamav Debian-exim

No need to edit the apparmor profile. And if you do so, I recommend editing /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.clamd instead.


If you not use the third party library, you will make you own library, plugin or framework which functions just like third party.
Frameworks are self indulgent, over complicated, buggy, poorly performant, and ultimately unnecessary for most website development needs.
Even simpliest webapp functionality like client-side todo list require enormous boilerplate when using only standard library. Standard library just don't have abstractions that are useful in almost every web app.
It depends complexity of application and how many developers working on the project.

Leela from The Binding Stone Given by Lizzy Gayle
Me: Welcome Leela! Make yourself comfortable.
Leela: I always do, thank you.
Me: Please introduce yourself so everyone knows who you are:
Leela: My name is Leela and I am Djinn. *eyes glow green*
Me: Should people be afraid of you?
Leela: Only if they mean me harm or wish to take possession of me. So for most humans? Yes, fear me.
Me: I don't think most humans mean you harm.
Leela: *laughs* So naïve.
Me: *shifts uncomfortably* Okay then, what would you do if someone tried to trap you and make you grant wishes?
Leela: Hmm…there are so many wonderful options. Taj likes turning humans into snakes and other creatures. Mira tends to blow things up. I suppose I'm not as messy, so I might trap them instead or just kill them. It depends on my mood.
Me: Consider us warned. What do you want out of life, Leela?
Leela: I want to be left alone as a free Djinni.
Me: Sounds simple enough. But alone?
Leela: If there is such a thing as real love, I'd be happy to experience it, but I doubt its existance. I loved once. That's what got me into this mess.
Me: I may not be a magical genie—
Leela: Djinni
Me: Right. I may not be a magical Djinni, but I am an author and I'm going to promise you something. You may go through a LOT, but you will be satisfied with the ending of The Binding Stone. And whoever reads it will enjoy the journey with you.
Leela: If I don't get my Happily Ever After I will come back and imprison you in a diamond.
Me:
Leela: *eyes glow*
Me: HEA it is!
"I thoroughly enjoyed THE BINDING STONE (The Djinn Book 1) by Lizzy Gayle. What a fun, fast-paced, page-turner of a book! Leela and Jered are compelling main characters, and the supporting cast of friends, allies, and enemies keeps the story fresh and interesting. The flashbacks to Leela's long and difficult past perfectly compliment the main storyline. I can't wait for Book 2!" -- Lisa Edmonds, Best-Selling Urban Fantasy Author of the Alice Worth Series
"A promising paranormal romance debut with intricate backstory, a fun cast of characters, and a trio of Djinn who'll have you rooting for their freedom to pursue true happily ever after's. A magical gem that will have readers wishing for the next in the series." -- Luna Joya, Award-Winning Author of The Legacy Series

CHAPTER ONE – BOND CALL by EMEM BASSEY
"You've been following me all day, Urua."
The tall, lanky man had grinned at her. "This isn't strange, my friend. I've been following you since we were children, you just haven't noticed."
Sese had bristled, hating the burning urge in the pit of her stomach to hold him and smooth away his worries. "The sun has long since set, please go!"
Guilt had chewed her intestines when she'd seen the forlorn expression on his face. The urge to care had raged like a furnace within her, but she'd bitten her tongue, drawing blood in the process, to control it. He'd sighed heavily and turned onto the path leading to his home.
She sighed as she lay on her pallet, staring at the raffia roof of her hut. She should've been sleeping, but worry tarried in her heart. Urua had become insistent in the past seven days, the exact time the dreams had begun.
She wondered if he had dreams too, then shook her head. If Urua had the dreams she was having, he'd be more bothersome. It was as though a rope joined them now; she would leave home without informing her father of her whereabouts, yet, Urua would find her wherever she thought to hide.
Sese was afraid of what was happening. She didn't want it—at least, not with him; what would Abedeng people say?
For many nights, she'd lain like this, afraid of sleep because he'd be waiting in her dreams to embrace her. She was weak in dream land, and the more she gave in to him there, the stronger the bond pulling them together became. She wasn't sure Urua knew what he was doing, and she hoped it remained that way until the diviner hitched her with a worthy warrior in a fortnight.
In that time, she would avoid him as much as she could.
"Urua, you're trying my patience."
He reared back at her comment as though entirely shocked by it, even though she said the exact same thing every day, with the exact same expression—or lack of expression in her case.
"You called my name!" he enthused in suppressed excitement.
This caused her to groan in exasperation and resume her clipped pace on the narrow beaten path leading to the deserted area where the diviner dwelled in his tiny hut.
He rushed after her.
"I think me trying your patience is a good thing," he expressed conversationally.
"How is that?" Sese asked before she could tighten her mouth and remain unresponsive as usual.
Urua grinned at her angry look because he knew she hated responding to him, especially after having ignored him for a better part of their lives.
"Well, you should be nicer to me. The gods might just hitch us tonight," he proclaimed.
Sese stumbled, missing a step despite the dark path being slightly lit by a lone torch one of the maidens must have considerately left, tied to a low branch. She could walk these paths without light, so it wasn't that she hit her feet. No, Urua's words had shocked her down to her core.
They had caused a visceral reaction which she was taking as panic, and it had weakened her knees for a moment, causing her to stumble.
"See well, my heart!" he exclaimed, reaching out to steady her.
That same primeval reaction, this time shooting through her body as though she had been lanced by lightning, unearthed strange warmth from the pit of her stomach.
No, it couldn't be.
She'd been fighting this for days. Did it mean the ntung leaf—rumoured to break unwanted bonds—she'd squeezed into her eyes and nose hadn't worked after the fiery hurt she'd endured?
No, it had to be the boiled palm juice she'd imbibed at her grandfather's hut. It wasn't Urua's words, either—everybody was used to him saying outrageous things like that to her, and they were used to her always ignoring him.
In their little settlement south of the great Niger river, females had always been more plentiful than males, and so, it was required that every twelve moons, the diviner would seek the face of the gods and hitch a woman to a man with the hope that they might mate and birth, at least, one male.
During her father's birthing period, a lot of males had been born, but their numbers still couldn't compare with that of the females. So, some of the females of her age would be hitched tonight to males that already had one or two women who had birthed males and were presently suckling them at their breasts.
It was believed that a male able to mate with two females, causing them to birth males, deserved a third female to carry his strong seed, though this practice only began because there were just not enough males in Abedeng.
The females were tender and nurturers while the males became warriors. But the strangest thing had happened—Urua had been birthed a male but had the lack of strength of a female, while Sese had been birthed a female but was as strong as the fiercest Abedeng warrior; a sacrilege.
The villagers began shrugging their shoulders at them as many twelve moons added to their age. Urua was older than her with three twelve moons, but he acted like a child, which was how females behaved, while she acted like a male.
Her mother had died on her eighth twelve moons while trying to birth another child. So, her father had been confused as to how to care for a female child with male abilities. The other children had refused to play with her—they had accepted Urua but rejected her. They told their mothers she didn't know how to play, since her touch was too strong; they said she would never birth a child.
The diviner had called a gathering and explained to the village that her strength wasn't strange since the gods had prophesied about females with male strengths in the past. He'd also explained that every male must not be warriors and that Urua had the divining gift, the reason why he didn't have the male strength.
Males in Abedeng were known to be extremely tall with big, burly bodies bulging with strength. Urua was tall, but his body never developed with strength no matter how many times he joined in the ceremony of lifting stones which the males did every morning to increase their bulk.
Her father had allowed her to join him in the ceremony every morning when she had reached her ninth twelve moons and had taught her how to fight like a warrior; it was the only thing he knew to teach her, since the other females wouldn't come near her strangeness enough to teach her female ways.
So, she had grown up a warrior. Her father had stopped her from the ceremony of lifting stones before she reached her twelfth twelve moons as her body had begun looking more like a male with rippling strength. He had worried that if she continued, no male would want to mate with her. But he had continued teaching her the warrior fights.
Sese had been avoided like a leper by males and females, well, except for her father and of course, the person she most wanted to avoid, Urua. In her fifteenth twelve moons, she had bested the third warrior in an unplanned fight. The third warrior had been disgracing Urua in front of their age group, abusing him for lacking strength like a female; his words and tone had angered her.
She had challenged him, and he had accepted. It had taken only three fight claps from the gathering to throw him on his back. She had learned well from her father who was the second warrior in his own age group.
The third warrior's father had been incensed and had demanded that Sese be punished for disgracing a warrior three twelve moons older than her. Culture demanded that she forfeit any fights with her elders. But she couldn't have—she had been filled with so much fury when she had seen the redness in Urua's eyes, redness caused by the third warrior putting sand there.
She had been punished with seven days of pulling weed around the third warrior's hut. It was a painful process to pull weed, since these had sharp edges that pierced the skin. She had not been allowed to use a tool, so she had pulled with her bare hands, bleeding the whole seven days.
The third warrior had hung around for three days, waiting for the humiliation of Sese sobbing for forgiveness, but that had never happened. On the fifth day, he had gone to his warrior group, a group Urua wasn't a part of because of his weakness, and told them she was a witch, an abomination that the gods would never allow to birth a child.
People had started avoiding her more, but Urua had stuck to her like the gum from the mango tree. Despite her several rejections of him, he remained by her side every time he could. And then, every time he wasn't supposed to.
He had taken to joining her father when he practiced the ceremony of lifting stones at the crack of dawn. It had taken her ten days to realize that in doing that, he bore the humiliation of not being able to lift the bigger stones; he bore her father's mockery of his weakness just because he wanted to watch her learn the warrior fights from her father.
It annoyed her to no end that he wouldn't just leave her alone. She was fine with the rejection of the village, though she worried she might never mate with a male since all the warriors, even of her age group, refused to mate with her. No one wanted a witch; no one cared for an abomination—everyone mated to birth children, and there was a possibility she might not be able to.
She should have been mated two twelve moons ago, but no warrior wanted her. Even the old warriors of her father's age group shook their heads when she was pointed at in the mating line. And then the dreams had begun, and Urua had become even more clinging.
But tonight, the diviner had called a special gathering to hitch the next age group. Sese was going with the hope that a younger warrior might choose her, or the gods might force her on an unsuspecting one. She really needed to mate. She needed to feel like a woman, and only a warrior would make her feel that way by mating.
She was afraid she might not birth a child, but she wanted to experience the heat of mating that her mother had always spoken to her about before her death. She wanted to feel that heat with a warrior, not Urua.
"The gods wouldn't be so cruel," she spoke after snatching her arm away from his helping hands. Sese looked into the darkness as though she were facing the immortal ancestors believed to dwell beyond the brightness of burning torches. "The gods wouldn't be so cruel to hitch me with you."
Urua grabbed his chest as though he had just been lanced by a spear. For a moment, she thought he had been attacked from behind by an enemy, but then, he looked up with his smile, the one that created two deep indents in his cheeks; the one that made him almost as beautiful as the fairest maiden in Abedeng.
"You pierce my heart, sweet Sese," he murmured.
When had his voice deepened to that gruffness that seemed to vibrate in her chest when he spoke? Even her father, second warrior of his age group and revered chieftain, didn't have such deepness in his tone.
Sese took a step back. She wasn't afraid of Urua—she could beat him in an unplanned fight, but she worried about the things she was noticing in him. Like the broadness of his chest, though it wasn't as broad as the usual Abedeng warrior, but strangely, she liked it.
She took another step back; she shouldn't like it. Urua was an apprentice to the diviner. He would never be hitched, since the present diviner wasn't.
This shouldn't be happening, she thought in panic. She'd taken the rumoured antidote; she couldn't be experiencing the heat of mating her mother had explained towards Urua.
No, she silently screamed. It was a mistake. Mother had said that the mating heat was rare, and it only happened between two special people after so many uncountable twelve moons. The mating heat entailed a man and woman feeling undeniably drawn to each other without the selection of the diviner. Mother had explained it as sometimes being shameful, as the mates couldn't stay away from each other.
She hadn't felt the heat for any other warriors, no matter how many times her father had asked her; no matter how many times she'd tried by surreptitiously brushing her body against males when at gatherings—an act her mother had said triggered the heat. She had never felt it, though it didn't mean she wanted to feel it with Urua.
But a touch from him, just one helping hand, and heat had unfurled in her stomach like a coiled snake angrily rousing from slumber. That's what she'd been avoiding the past fortnight, and it was happening now, just when she was close to, hopefully, being hitched by the diviner?
Sese shook her head, refusing the possibility. She straightened her height; a foot shorter than Urua, she noticed. Her heart instantly jumped in elation, but she stomped it down and widened the distance between them.
"You look strange, my heart. What is it?" he asked with concern.
Why wouldn't he stop calling her his heart? The look on his beautiful face surged the heaviest warmth from her stomach, pushing at the walls of her chest to burst free.
She tightened her hand on her staff and silently fought to hold up the walls of her chest. Sese realized that distancing herself from him reduced the force of the heat. She took three more steps from him, not minding that Urua looked at her strangely.
Silently, she prayed he not feel the heat or the connection. The farther she was from him, the better chance of ending this night wrapped around a worthy warrior who would surely give her a male child.
"Sese?"
Even his voice was alluring. She could feel the warmth pooling and tingling in between her thighs. Oh, gods, it was exactly as her mother had said it would be. She had said she would know instantly who her fated mate was, but she didn't want to know it was Urua. She would never be normal if she mated with Urua. The village would avoid them and any children they birthed … if they birthed children.
They were the only abominations in Abedeng, and she knew they would only birth strange children if they mated. If she accepted the bond call, she would be stuck with Urua all her life, dependent on him, unable to be without him.
And if a mate died, Mother had explained that the unbearable pain usually made the living mate take his or her life. Sese didn't appreciate the unbreakable link that came with being fated mates tied by an unseen bond. She rather preferred being physically paired with a warrior she wouldn't be dependent on; with a warrior stronger and more ripped than her who would make her feel feminine, a warrior for whom she wouldn't have the urge to kill herself if he died.
All that was lost as thoughts of mating with Urua became insistent, making her thighs tighten to stop the recent incessant tingling.
"By the gods, you're sweating," Urua noticed, his voice filled with confused concern as he hurried towards her, intending to grant help, which would mean touching her.
Sese shook her head and bolted down the path as though chased by the eleventh enemy of the gods.

Now, she finally feels ready to be touched by the one man she trusts—her best friend, Tyler. That is, until the creatures return and Kiara must wrestle with the secret she thought she had left in the past.
Tyler's no saint. A broken actor, sex addict, and heroin junkie, he's lucky to be alive. Kiara is the one good thing in his life. He would never touch her, never break her trust. Not even if she wanted him to.
As the visions worsen, destroying Kiara's hope for a normal life, the two entangled souls must search the shadows of their past to find the truth, before darkness tears them apart forever.

Underlayes Book 4
Published July 14, 2019 by GothicMoms Studios
Paranormal Fantasy Romance
Synopsis -
Bound and determined to spread his wings and live his life to its fullest, nowhere near his parents, Lucas decides to take a trip to the human realm. Especially since he has a mate that refuses to settle down with him, be with him physically in any way, or even admit to it out loud that they belong together. So, he figures the best thing for them to do is to stay as far away from each other as possible. Even if that means leaving Underlayes, and everyone else he loves behind. But when he gets his first taste of life, and ice cream, he may not be in such a big hurry to get back home.
What Lucas doesn't realize is that his parents kept him secluded from the world for a reason. Anya, his mother, is an elemental witch/vampire. Kierra, his father, half angel, half gender shifting demon. Which makes him...
When the angels from Heaven and the hounds of Hell sense his presence Lucas may just get a lot more than he bargained for. Especially with him being part vampire and witch, heaven and hell aren't the only ones that could take claim. The question is will the other dieties step in to help, or agree that he shouldn't even exist?
***This can be read as a standalone. But may be a lot more fun when read in order.***

T. A. resides in Detroit, Michigan with her five children, and the rest of her dysfunctional family, where she was born and raised. She started her writing career in the midst of a very hard time in her life and is now a best-selling author. Her debut and award-winning novel, Witch Wars, and the world of Underlayes, was born from a mind that desperately needed an escape, so she created one.
The novel was inspired by her love of all things paranormal and how she wanted it seen. "We live in a diverse world, shouldn't all of the characters in books, even paranormal also be diverse," she says. "I saw so few paranormal books with a diverse cast until I read L. A. Banks. You know, with more than one or two characters thrown in for good measure. Mine have it all, too."

Here are six sentences from my current WIP, which is now available for pre-order. Hope you like it!
"So everyone's totally knocked out, and won't remember a thing about me when they wake up?" I asked as I grabbed a stiletto out of my back pocket.
"Yes. So, you probably don't need to do that."
"No offense against your skills, but I'm not taking any chances with my family. Too many have failed by underestimating them. See you at the portal." I said, then hurried off to draw a forget-me-knot rune on every member of my family.

text:
Los cardiomiocitos son células del músculo cardíaco capaces de contraerse de forma espontánea e individual. Estas células muestran además especialización en excitación y conducción de los potenciales de acción.
El cardiomiocito representa la unidad contráctil del miocardio. Las ramificaciones características y las uniones estrechas entre estas células, conforman una sólida red de fibras miocárdicas, que determina la función de bomba cardíaca y el sistema celular eléctrico de conducción, que permite que esta bomba funcione.

Embriología
Durante el desarrollo, las células progenitoras progresan a través de varios estados de transición. El epicardio contiene progenitores de células esenciales, que no son cardiomiocitos.
Las células epicárdicas se adhieren al músculo cardíaco, forman una capa epitelial continua de una sola célula y cubren todo el miocardio. Un subconjunto de esas células epicárdicas, se deslaminan y generan las células derivadas de epicardio (EPDC) que luego dan origen a dos tipos de células de soporte el músculo liso vascular y los fibroblastos.

Anatomía microscópica

Los cardiomiocitos, muestran dimensiones promedio de 15 μm de diámetro y unos 100 μm de largo.

Los cardiomiocitos son células uninucleadas, y este núcleo grande está situado en el centro del citoplasma de la célula.

Presentan una característica prominente y única del músculo cardiaco, que es la presencia de bandas transversales, irregularmente espaciadas, llamados discos intercalares. Los cardiomiocitos se conectan con sus vecinos mediante estos discos formando las fibras miocárdicas.

La mayor parte del citoplasma del cardiomiocito está ocupado por miofibrillas de disposición longitudinal con un patrón estriado. Aproximadamente 50 sarcómeros componen una miofibrilla de extremo a extremo y un paquete de 50-100 miofibrillas constituyen una célula muscular.

El retículo sarcoplásmico no es muy desarrollado y se distribuye irregularmente entre las miofibrillas, que  aparecen claramente separadas.

Las mitocondrias pequeñas son extremadamente numerosas, están empaquetadas y distribuidas regularmente, dividiendo a las células cardíacas en miofibras muy evidentes.

Los cardiomiocitos son células que se ramifican, formando estructuras tridimensionales locales en forma de red, unidas mediante los desmosomas y las zonula adherens de los discos intercalares.

Fisiología

Morfológicamente los cardiomiocitos no forman un sincitio; pero sí existe un "sincitio funcional", gracias a la existencia de los discos intercalares.
Las uniones entre los cardiomiocitos, son uniones proteicas que tienen una baja resistencia eléctrica por lo que facilitan la conducción eléctrica a su través.

Diferenciación de los cardiomiocitos
Los cardiomiocitos son células especializadas en la contracción y en la conducción.
Se pueden distinguir tres tipos de cardiomiocitos: los auriculares, los ventriculares, y los de excitación conducción.

Excitación y conducción
Los cardiomiocitos de excitación-conducción muestran especialización para conducir el potencial de acción al resto de las células contráctiles. Estas células debido a su especialización, presentan escasa capacidad contráctil.

Recambio celular de los cardiomiocitos

Los cardiomiocitos presentan diferente plasticidad celular en las diferentes especies. La des-diferenciación les permite a algunos organismos la regeneración miocárdica.
Anfibios y peces
Los corazones de anfibios y peces tienen un gran potencial para regenerar el músculo cardíaco mediante una desdiferenciación parcial y posiblemente también mediante la regeneración mediada por células madre.
Mamíferos
Durante mucho tiempo se pensó que los cardiomiocitos de mamíferos se diferenciaban de manera terminal y luego no podían proliferar.
Se ha comprobado que los cardiomiocitos de mamíferos de edad madura, conservan una sustancial plasticidad celular, incluida la capacidad de des-diferenciar, proliferar y adquirir fenotipos propios de células progenitoras.

El recambio de los cardiomiocitos ocurre mediante la proliferación de los cardiomiocitos residentes y muestra una tasa de ∼1.3–4 % por año.
Aquí la cariocinesis existe sin citocinesis y el resultado es la aparición de células binucleadas como parte del proceso genéticamente programado de citodiferenciación y desarrollo. Los núcleos de estas células pueden mantenerse en interfase (G0, G1) o pueden pasar por un fase S.

Luego de un infarto de miocardio, en el corazón adulto joven el pool de cardiomiocitos residentes cíclicos, se incrementa por su proliferación en número.

My crazy Dundee adventures continue: yesterday I was down at the McManus Galleries getting a prize thanks to Bonnie Bling! I had entered their Slang Bling contest with the word "Oary" which I of course learned from Gary Robertson and The Cundeez long ago on Twitter.
There were other folks there, too! But somehow I ended up getting my picture in the paper because of my story: this word of course led to my being in Dundee — Gary being my punk rock Cupid is how I met my sweetie, Mark.
So despite all the photos they took of everyone there including fellow contest winner Kevin McGinley and the retail co-ordinator for the McManus, Daniel Grey, they used this goofy one of me in the Courier story.
Test your Dundonian! Do you know what they mean?
Hahahaha Your life continues to unfold in strange and delirious ways!
Love this and LOVE the photo!
Lacking a Dundonian dictionary, I don't know what any of the words you mention mean, including your personal favorite "oary." Even having read most of Christopher (and Chris) Brookmyre's output is not helpful.
And, in case I'm not as organized as I try to be, let me offer best wishes for a Happy Birthday a week in advance.
Aw thanks, John! It's good to 'see' you here. Brookmyre did a reading at the central library this autumn and was quite the favourite.
"Oary" really means the way people speak here — the slang and the Celtic words all mashed together with that particular lilt, but it also means honoring that verbal heritage and not trying to sound posh or 'southern' i.e. English.

This Dongle Makes Any Screen An Android Device
Want that 70″ LCD television in your living room to be an Android device? This little guy can make it happen. With an HDMI port on one end, and a USB plug on the other for power, just plug in FXI Technologies' Cotton Candy dongle to create a 1080p Android television.
The price isn't set for the device, but it's expected to be available at less than $200. Considering what's inside that's pretty reasonable. There's a dual-core 1.2 GHz ARM processor, 1 gig of RAM, 64 gigs of storage, Bluetooth, WiFi, and a microSD card slot. Wow!
So is it hackable? Absolutely. Well, kind of? The company doesn't intend to bring Cotton Candy to the retail market. Instead, they will sell the device to developers who may do what they wish. From there, said developers have the option to license the technology for their own products. This begs the question, will the development kit come in under $200? Hard to say.
Check out the video after the break to hear an interview with the company's CEO. It certainly sounds fascinating, and like the Chumby NeTV, we can't wait to see what comes of this.

Ok, this is a whole new level of want.
TWNB says:
Strange no demonstration of it getting used.
DooWeeNo says:
10x overpriced Raspberry Pi?
improvement from $25 Rasberry Pi
_txf_ says:
Right… but it does cost 200 clams making it not particularly disposable. IE you're not going to want to experiment extensively with something of that cost…
They're totally different boards, anyway I would choose the Raspberry anytime.
This one plays in the same league of the Beagleboard but costs more, has much less connectivity and the use of Java will severely limit its performance. Take into account that pseudo-native software under Android (what you write using the NDK) runs about 8-12 times faster than the Java software, but _every_ program in Android, pseudo-native ones included, must run within a virtual machine, therefore writing true native software in android is plain impossible (unless you are Google and write device drivers) so any software written in C run on a 600 MHz board would run circles around the same software written in Java run on a much faster processor.
Want an example? Here it is!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEdXXKk1hRI
I could change my mind the day stuff like this software will be ported to Android, which in my opinion won't happen anytime soon because of the _huge_ Java limitations.
Oh, and I am an Android product owner and don't own a single Apple product nor I have any wish to buy one. Fact is, I consider Linux on mobile platforms dead and buried the day they killed Meego.
Ian Tester says:
You don't have to run Android on it. Just install your favourite Linux/ARM distro. You could even run Meego on it, if that's what you want so much.
He says in the video android OR ubuntu.
That video was fail though, they only talk and claim, so why not show the damn thing in action?
Question: How is it powered?
einballimwasser says:
It's powered via the USB "Host" (So the computer that it is attached to.
No iy's not powered by the host, it is a computer, you plug it in HDMI, so again: Does HDMI has more power than I though to power a dual core etc, or does it need a powersupply?
http://www.raspberrypi.org/
baobrien says:
This looks interesting, but if they don't release it in an under $200 package, there's always the panda board.
http://www.pandaboard.org/
roboman2444 says:
must… buy… now… auuugh
Looks pretty awesome, but I don't want to shell out $200 on something so easily lost, I hope there's encryption on it to keep the data safe. still, I like http://geek-menu.sourceforge.net/ it won't do as much as cotton candy will, but it's out there now, it's free, and chances are you already have a thumb drive to put it on.
TheCapt says:
Except you cant plug any old thumbdrive into a TV HDMI port
That's a good point, but I still think it's a little pricy, advanced as hell, but pricy.
Julspower says:
all that can fit inside ???
Neat, but maybe it could be cheaper if it didn't have to be so small? As long as it's still pocketable, I don't think it would make a difference.
And there is a much better write-up of that thing here:
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/fxi-cotton-candy-is-an-arm-pc-in-a-usb-stick-20111118/
All that in that dongle? I've been waiting for gumstix to do dual core for a while, I may go with this. I'm wanting to do a obfuscated surveillance and file storage system.
Barrett says:
Lets see XBMC develop a build for this and sell it as XBMC on a stick. I'd pay 200 for that.
I've got a better idea. Sell them for fifty dollars and provide everything needed to connect to that HDMI connection, including a small screened HDTV set. Also include a set of dongles that translate from HDMI to DVI, and from DVI to VGA and then I'll buy it.
Cotton Candy+Wiimote+60″ TV=Worlds biggest tablet.
cameron20020 says:
WANT WANT WANT!!!!
please, tell me where the hell i can get one!!!
but i wants usb host port, then it'd be PERFECT!
i seriously love this!
1GB ram, 1.2Ghz dual core cpu,
FINALLY, something i can do things with!
As I asked above, I really wonder how it's powered, dual core and graphics and wifi and whatnot, you have to wonder.
K!P says:
Read the article, second sentence, last two words are of particular interest: " With an HDMI port on one end, and a USB plug on the other for power"
So 500mA is enough for all functions? or do you need an enhanced USB port or USB3?
Either way you can not plug it in HDMI and have a computer then, you'd need a computer to power it make it a computer, or of course a powered USB hub, but either way suddenly it's a lots of wires and you carrying around a poweradaptor/hub.
is anybody else thinking super computer? its a good idea but why so small? im sure people would be more than happy with something the same size as a 3.5″ hdd.
oh look… a raspberry Pi ripoff.
Do Not Want.
Malikaii says:
If this is legit, the possibilities are endless.
As for the power question, I don't know about the 500mA being enough to run it (sounds a bit skimpy), but if so, all you need is one of those USB extender cables. Most HDTVs already come with a USB port built into them, so you could run power off of that. It does make things a bit more complicated and bulky than they claim, but it's still an amazing feat of hypothetical technology.
If you can fit all of that into a USB stick, imagine what a spy can fit in a false tooth!
Darron says:
Well, my 454MHz single core ARM platform running flat out uses about 200mA@5V… so I'd think it pretty reasonable that this can work with 500mA.
CampGareth says:
Think about a modern smartphone which has pretty much the same hardware, does its battery last more than 2-3 hours with the screen on? (typical battery capacities are 1Ah to 1.5Ah) If so, it's drawing less than 500mA. If not, remove the screen and power draw should drop by 100-200mA* so now we're well and truly into the capabilities of USB power.
*figures come from this AMOLED display power experiment http://jsharkey.org/blog/2010/07/01/android-surfaceflinger-tricks-for-fun-and-profit/
Slightly off topic question but: any reason why the open source Xbox Kinect drivers wouldn't work on ARM architecture?
RapidPrototype says:
There is also the €99 Xbounds dongle, you can find out more on Slashgear.com http://goo.gl/kH4fD
So, it has no demonstration, it shares all of the stuff you put in it to a cloud on the web and also how can it turn your tv in a android device, if tv screens has no touchscreen fetaures??

Cherise Boothe anchors this production with her performance as world-weary Jennica, a teen we meet when she tries to save her schoolmate, Tariq Johnson, after he's shot in broad daylight. In the wake of Tariq's death, a full cast alternates between points of view as diverse as that of the shooter, who believed Tariq was armed, and that of the Reverend Alabaster Sloan, who comes to town in the wake of the tragedy to bolster his political career. As Tariq's family, other teens, and neighborhood stalwarts fail to agree on the facts or on what they mean, the full-cast approach highlights the way people's expectations and assumptions influence what they see and believe. Timely, but also timeless in its exploration of the mysteries at the core of being human. A.F. 2016 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2015]

Having been told by her sister to get the bus home after school 11 year old Brooke Ellison (Vanessa Marano, Lacey Chabert) was swayed by her friends and walked with them. Unfortunately there was a traffic accident on the way home and Brooke ended up rushed to hospital in a coma having suffered not only a head injury but her neck which has left her paralysed from the neck down. Whilst her father, Ed (John Slattery - Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights), dealt with keeping the family running whilst also all the bureaucratic red tape and expense Brooke's mother, Jean (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio - Witness Protection), never left her side. Despite the pessimism of those in the medical professions which they meet Ed and Jean refuse to give up on their daughter and when she comes out of her coma they not only fight to get her home but fight to allow her to return to school with Jean being her carer. And much to their surprise not only does Brooke prove herself she ends up being invited to go to Harvard.
Whilst the name Brooke Ellison meant nothing to me before watching "The Brooke Ellison Story" I was fully aware of director Christopher Reeve and his incredible story and in many ways there was no one better than Reeve to direct this movie. Because of Reeve's own experiences with being paralyzed, from going through treatment to the daily risks and how it affects not only the individual but also the family unit he is able to bring this side of Brooke Ellison's story to life, highlighting things from the financial stress to the demands on loved ones. That doesn't take anything away from Brooke Ellison's own story which is an inspiration story in itself but because of Christopher Reeve's understanding he is able to do it justice.
So for me there are two very distinct sides to "The Brooke Ellison Story"; there is Brooke's own inspirational story and then there is the look at life when someone suffers a life changing injury. Now Brooke's story, or in reality that should be Brooke and her mother Jean's story, is a powerful one because we watch how thanks to Jean and Ed never giving up hope, alongside Brooke's own determination, being paralysed didn't prevent her from doing stuff. We get to watch the emotional strains and stresses but we see how whilst being paralysed meant thinking about things in a different way it didn't mean life was over.
Now a big part of "The Brooke Ellison Story" is a look at the issues which come when a loved one is paralysed and this is where director Christopher Reeve's own experiences help bring this story to life. Now there are too many great, insider moments to mention but scenes where a doctor and nurse talk negatively in front of young Brooke or when a care giver refuses to be hopeful highlights some of those issues. We also see how it puts a strain on the family as a whole from financial strains to Brooke's sister struggling with their mum having to devote all her time to supporting Brooke. Basically from start to finish "The Brooke Ellison Story" feels like an insider look at what being paralyzed means and the endless list of issues which come with it especially when it is a teen daughter having to rely on their mother 24 - 7 but it makes you realize so much whilst also feeling inspired by Brooke and her family.
As for the acting well both Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and John Slattery are brilliant as Brooke's parents especially Mastrantonio who in the scenes she shares with Lacey Chabert as the teenage Brooke are especially insightful into the difficulties of a mum and teen daughter living in each other's pockets. But whilst Lacey Chabert is impressive as the teen Brooke some of the most insightful scenes come from Vanessa Marano as the younger Brooke and that is thanks to some great writing and a simple but touching performance by the then young Marano.
What this all boils down to is that "The Brooke Ellison Story" not only tells the inspiring story of Brooke Ellison but at the same time gives the audience an insight into the difficulties which appear when a loved one becomes paralyzed. Yes at times it is typically a TV movie but that doesn't detract from it also being an inspirational movie.

Southwest Hits Brakes on Max Deliveries, Settles Boeing Dispute
Mary Schlangenstein
Dec 16 2020, 8:41 PM Dec 17 2020, 1:51 AM December 16 2020, 8:41 PM December 17 2020, 1:51 AM
(Bloomberg) -- Southwest Airlines Co. cut the number of 737 Max jets it will take through next year to 35, as it joined other carriers in reducing revenue forecasts amid a nationwide surge in coronavirus cases.
Southwest, the largest operator of the Boeing Co. aircraft, also settled with the manufacturer over deliveries scuttled this year, after the plane was grounded following two crashes that killed 346 people. While the terms of the agreements are confidential, delivery credits and other factors mean Southwest will have "an immaterial amount" of capital spending for aircraft this quarter and for all of 2021, the airline said in a regulatory filing.
The announcements Wednesday reflect adjustments that airlines are making worldwide: first to the Max's extended flight ban, and then to a coronavirus pandemic that has gutted demand for travel and shows no sign of letting up in the near term.
The 35 Max planes that Southwest will receive include seven expected this month and just 28 next year. The carrier in April cut delivery plans to as many as 48 through 2021. At one point, Southwest was on tap to get 123 of the workhorse narrow-body jet over the period.
While Southwest has signaled an interest in taking Max planes in the future that have lost their original buyers, the airline said it would hold its fleet unchanged next year from the 747 jets it had at the end of 2019. Deliveries through the end of 2021 will include 16 leased aircraft.
U.S. regulators last month approved the Max's return to flight, following a global grounding that began in March 2019. Dallas-based Southwest expects to make its first commercial Max flight in March, after training all its pilots on changes made to the plane. Southwest had 34 Max aircraft in its fleet that it couldn't operate during the 20-month grounding, the longest in U.S. history.
Southwest on Wednesday also reduced its forecast for December operating revenue to be as much as 75% below a year earlier. The airline previously expected no more than a 65% drop. Southwest projected a decline of 65% to 75% for January. Capacity for that month will be down as much as 45%, rather than the 40% decline previously anticipated.
Remaining Cautious
"Leisure bookings for holiday travel in late December 2020 and early January 2021 are outpacing leisure passenger demand and bookings in nonholiday time periods for both months," the airline said. "The company remains cautious, given the uncertainty of near-term revenue trends."
Sagging revenue from cancellations and reduced demand mean Southwest will burn about $12 million a day this quarter, the airline said, a bit worse than the $10 million-$11 million previously expected. United Airlines Holdings Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. also have increased their forecasts of daily losses, while American Airlines Group Inc. said cash consumption would be at the maximum end of its forecast.
Despite the reduced demand, Southwest continues to expand into new cities, trying to take advantage of modest domestic leisure bookings and to put idled aircraft and employees to work. On Wednesday, the airline said it would begin service to the California cities of Santa Barbara and Fresno in the second quarter of 2021. That brings to 12 the number of destinations the carrier has added during the pandemic,
Southwest fell 1.4% to $45.78 at 9:50 a.m. in New York, while Boeing was little changed at $230.50. The carrier's stock had dropped 14% this year through Tuesday, the smallest decline on the S&P 500 airlines index.

Yeah, but that guy is a real AA shot .
Err.. yes he is. AAA actually. Was there something else you were trying to say?
David's obviously a AAA shot and that's why he can poke fun at your averages Will.
Westfield for me today.great shoot,i started badly and continued badly!finished on a very poor 80.highlight for me was saving a fiver shooting birds only.?
I missed quite a few!
It felt like a firm shoot and quite quite a few different presentations than normal which was interesting. Didn't cover myself in glory, 72/100. Shot some of the trickier stuff well though which is good.
But a good a good set of targets , some new stands,as well as good company!
Westfield also, gang of four, me, Bunter, Stew & Tiptop.
Now refrained posting earlier as one was still incandesant with inner rage at my own shortcomings, yes it was a firm/tough course you dont help yourself hitting at start all only then to start dropping targets aplenty on the 3rd & 4th pair ?
Horne for me today. Started off poorly, with the platform my worst stand. Two on report low incomers, only managed 3 from 8. Overcomplicated things - should have just shot straight at the bloody things. Picked up after the first four stands and three straights towards meant I was able to retrieve a 76. Enough to take ladies today.
Grange Farm and Garlands for me. I never shoot well at either and that didn't change today.
They had some fiddly targets there yesterday and a lot were edgy or coming in from distance. I managed a slightly better 5 on the platform finding the 2nd bird only once. I hit a 4/10 on stand 10 and only managed 2 straights. The rest was just sloppiness. Finished on 76 same as you and wasn't unhappy with that the way I was shooting.
Stand 10 was the sim pair of teal and midi crosser? Got an 8 on that - missed the first teal rushing it and shot over the top and second to last crosser (think I was behind - fractionally slowed the gun up). My husband shot it the other way around (crosser first, then teal while it was dropping) and also got an 8. Showed the difference in our techniques, I hate dropping targets, he loves them.
Straight on Stands 11, 8 and 5. Dropped 4 on Stand 1 and 4 on Stand 3 (the other sim pair). Everything else was either one or two away. Was pleased with only dropping one of the incomers on 7. Had a strategy going in to the stand of taking it further out before it started to drop, which worked for me.
You know things are bad when you shoot your highest score for months, and when you look at the scores it wouldn't have won C class.
Therein lies the problem with classifications . Sandbaggers and a good pen can work wonders at most shoots.
Shoot for enjoyment , and hope to improve week by week.
I'd have done a lot better with a pencil at Westfield.?
Salopian is stirring the pot with talk of sandbaggers; its fairly rare on a routine basis I reckon. (Progressing beginners is the usual issue with high C class scores). The pencil works fine until you get caught, like a certain Parrot owner did, hence he is too ashamed to be seen on here or in the flesh.. Allegedly..
Knew i'd seen a parrot with a pencil somewhere!
I get accused of sandbagging lightheartedly...for me the difference between whether i find focus or not!
Focus that illusive thing like will o the wisp to me couldn't find much in the sporting on Sunday but found some in the Sportrap.
Actually Will , I am not stirring the pot . Just being a realist , I think we all know certain individuals that possibly haven't shot the score they have been credited with , but does it really matter ? Who are they kidding apart from themselves .
if they are saying they shot more than they did but it didn't affect the outcome of the shoot they are just cheating themselves for some undefinable reason as it is pointless as it will only bump you up a class where you will win even less!
If you are putting in artificially low scores that is full on sandbagging but it costs you money to go down a class to win money so that doesn't really work.
My scores vary massively 20+ targets sometimes....am i cheating myself? I can assure you it is not deliberate the thought of cheating is abhorrent to me.
Sandbagging (a sort of strategy over many shoots)? Or cheating? Two slightly different things.
I've known my scores to vary by 30 targets. And I've no idea why.
We all know sandbagging happens...... some do it to move up a class, others to go down.
And I think that shooting grounds turn a blind eye to what happens. Last Sunday at Westfield there was NOT a master scorecard in sight, and to cap it off the majority of scorers were very young children.
There was only one lad who was on stand 6 ( a simo pair ) who actually called out whether you had hit them or not.
BTW. why, if it's a registered shoot are the scorers NOT WEARING EYE PROTECTION.


Happy Quilting: Chatting with Pat!!!
Eeekk, I am so super excited!!! Next Monday, April 11th, I get to join Pat Sloan once again on the American Patchwork & Quilting Podcast show!! I had so much fun last time I chatted with Pat on the radio!! I just loved getting to share all things quilty and I just can't wait for Monday to do it again!!!
Melissa, you are so lucky.
I am greatly looking forward to this!
I will sign up now and listen and learn!
So happy for you Melissa - that is very exciting and quite an honor!
This is exciting!! I will have to listen-in! I enjoy Pat Sloan's Podcasts!

Q: Clarification request on sign changes of Hecke eigenvalues In their paper 'Sign changes of Hecke eigenvalues', Matomaki and Radziwill established in Lemma 6.2 the following result: There exists absolute positive constants $c$ and $\eta$ such that uniformly in $h \leq X^{\eta},$ we have
$$\int_{X}^{2X} \left|\sum_{x\leq n\leq x+hk(X)} sign(\lambda_f(n)) w_n \right|^2 dx \leq c^2h X,$$ where $k(x)=\displaystyle{\prod_{\substack{p \leq x\\ \lambda_f(p)=0}}}\left(1+\frac{1}{p}\right)$ and $w_n$ is the sieve weight then they used this Lemma to prove Proposition 3.4. In the proof of this proposition, they used Chebyshev's inequality to prove that the proportion of sign changes is at least $(1-1/K^2)$ where $K$ is as in the proof of Proposition 3.4 is such that the measure of the set of $x$ in $[X,2X]$ for which
$$\left|\sum_{x\leq n\leq x+hk(x)} sign(\lambda_f(n) w_n \right|\geq cK \sqrt{h} $$  is by Chebyshev's inequality $\leq X/K^2.$ Can someone clarify to me this proof I mean give me the relation or the expression of $K$ in terms of $c$?
Thanks in advance.

A: The constant $c>0$ in Lemma 6.2 is absolute, while $K>0$ is arbitrary in Proposition 3.4. There is no relation between these two quantities.

Read our blog post for our advice on en suite bathrooms - everything you need to know.
An en suite is fast becoming a must-have for the master bedroom. In designer chic properties it's quite common to lose the 'en' and have an open-plan bathing area within the bedroom. There's something luxurious about having a bath in your bedroom - though there's an irony in the fact that it's a return to the days when you wallowed in a tin tub in front of the bedroom fire. But I personally really think you should draw the line at open-plan loos.
I'd be wary of substituting a shower for a bath in a onebathroom property, though stand-alone shower rooms work well as a second bathroom option.
When choosing an extractor fan, go for the quietest one. You don't want to hear it whirring away while you're trying to sleep next door.

Johannesburg, South Africa (ADV) – The Zambian President Edgar Lungu has assured the country that he will sign into law the National Dialogue amendment bill which Parliament passed on Tuesday this week.
The bill which was first tabled in Parliament last month, seeks to provide a forum to facilitate the amendment of the constitution, public order act, electoral laws and regulation of political parties.
The Zambian Parliament on Tuesday passed the National Dialogue Amendment Bill after a heated debate by Members of Parliament from the Opposition, Independent and ruling parties.
According to Lusaka Times, Lungu who was on the Copperbelt Province for a three day working visit said upon arrival at the ZAF Airforce Base airport, that he will straight away sign the National Dialogue Amendment Bill.
One hundred and forty six (146) MPs participated in the voting session of the bill, with 91 MPs in support of the bill, while 52 MP's voted against the bill.
Meanwhile, the President has expressed disappointment that both the ruling and opposition MP's on the Copperbelt are not delivering to his expectations.
"Implementation of projects have slowed down because the lawmakers are not being accountable to the people who voted them into power," said Lungu.


Five-year-old Maddie looked as if it would imagine so. yet to her exasperated father, rancher Royal Justice, Angel Rojas—the attractive hitchhiker who obtained into their vehicle that stormy night—was not anything yet an unwelcome distraction.
When infuriatingly good-looking Royal opened his motor vehicle door for on-the-run Angel that evening, she considered him—and his cute daughter—as a brief reprieve. yet unexpectedly the relaxation of a bit girl's embrace—not to say that of her rugged rancher father—felt like greater than a makeshift take care of. used to be she ultimately coming home?

Production of infectious human respiratory syncytial virus from cloned cDNA confirms an essential role for the transcription elongation factor from the 5' proximal open reading frame of the M2 mRNA in gene expression and provides a capability for vaccine development

Infectious human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was produced by the intracellular coexpression of five plasmid-borne cDNAs. One cDNA encoded a complete positive-sense version of the RSV genome (corresponding to the replicative intermediate RNA or antigenome), and each of the other four encoded a separate RSV protein, namely, the major nucleocapsid N protein, the nucleocapsid P phosphoprotein, the major polymerase L protein, or the protein from the 5' proximal open reading frame of the M2 mRNA [M2(ORF1)]. RSV was not produced if any of the five plasmids was omitted. The requirement for the M2(ORF1) protein is consistent with its recent identification as a transcription elongation factor and confirms its importance for RSV gene expression. It should thus be possible to introduce defined changes into infectious RSV. This should be useful for basic studies of RSV molecular biology and pathogenesis; in addition, there are immediate applications to the development of live attenuated vaccine strains bearing predetermined defined attenuating mutations.
