Q: Codeigniter - multiple database connections I have a problem with multiple db connections at Codeigniter. At my database.php i configured two databases.
$active_group = 'cms';
$active_record = FALSE;
     $db['cms']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
    $db['cms']['username'] = 'yoloo_cms';
    $db['cms']['password'] = 'password';
    $db['cms']['database'] = 'yoloo_cms';
    $db['cms']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
    $db['cms']['dbprefix'] = '';
    $db['cms']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
    $db['cms']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
    $db['cms']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
    $db['cms']['cachedir'] = '';
    $db['cms']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
    $db['cms']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
    $db['cms']['swap_pre'] = '';
    $db['cms']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
    $db['cms']['stricton'] = FALSE;

    $db['hazeleger']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
    $db['hazeleger']['username'] = 'yoloo_websites';
    $db['hazeleger']['password'] = 'password2';
    $db['hazeleger']['database'] = 'yoloo_hazeleger';
    $db['hazeleger']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql';
    $db['hazeleger']['dbprefix'] = '';
    $db['hazeleger']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
    $db['hazeleger']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
    $db['hazeleger']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
    $db['hazeleger']['cachedir'] = '';
    $db['hazeleger']['char_set'] = 'utf8';
    $db['hazeleger']['dbcollat'] = 'utf8_general_ci';
    $db['hazeleger']['swap_pre'] = '';
    $db['hazeleger']['autoinit'] = TRUE;
    $db['hazeleger']['stricton'] = FALSE;

At my model i use this when i want to connect to a other db than the usual one:
function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();
  $this->load->database('hazeleger',TRUE);
}

But at all time codeigniter connects to cms. When i remove
$active_group = 'cms';
$active_record = FALSE;

Codeingiter gives an error. When i tried this
function __construct()
{
  parent::__construct();
  $db2 = $this->load->database('hazeleger',TRUE);
}

function test()
{
      $query  = "SELECT * FROM cms_modules";
      $result = $db2->db->query($query);
      return $db2->result();
}

It gives an error. Variabele db2 does not exist.
I just want to choose, at every model, wich db i want to connect to.
But is doesn,t work. Does somebody know, how i can work with different databases
at models.
Thank you very much!!

A: You have to save the variable $db2 as a class field. The you can access $this->db2 ...

A: This happens because you have most probably set in /application/config/autoload.php
that the database library is automatically loaded/created.
Open autoload.php and look for this line:
 $autoload['libraries'] = array('database');

Remove 'database' from the array and save. Now it should be working in your controllers as intended.

A: for future visitors' reference, the load would be along these lines:
$this->db2 = $this->load->database('hazeleger',true);

A: You have to change db2 class
    $query  = "SELECT * FROM cms_modules";
    $result = $this->db2->query($query);
    return result();

Q: react-query: useQuery returns undefined and component does not rerender I'm playing around with reactQuery in a little demo app you can see in this repo. The app calls this mock API.
I'm stuck on a an issue where I'm using the useQuery hook to call this function in a product API file:
export const getAllProducts = async (): Promise<Product[]> => {
  const productEndPoint = 'http://localhost:5000/api/product';
  const { data } = await axios.get(productEndPoint);
  return data as Array<Product>;
};

In my ProductTable component I then call this function using:
const { data } = useQuery('products', getAllProducts);

I'm finding the call to the API does get made, and the data is returned. but the table in the grid is always empty.
If I debug I'm seeing the data object returned by useQuery is undefined.
The web request does successfully complete and I can see the data being returned in the network tab under requests in the browser.
I'm suspecting its the way the getAllProducts is structured perhaps or an async await issue but can't quite figure it out.
Can anyone suggest where IO may be going wrong please?

A: Simply use like this
At first data is undefined so mapping undefined data gives you a error so we have to use isLoading and if isLoading is true we wont render or map data till then and after isLoading becomes false then we can render or return data.
export const getAllProducts = async (): Promise<Product[]> => {
  const productEndPoint = 'http://localhost:5000/api/product';
  const res= await axios.get(productEndPoint);
  return res.data as Array<Product>;
};

const { data:products , isLoading } = useQuery('products', getAllProducts);

if(isLoading){
return <FallBackView />
}

return (){
products.map(item => item)
}

A: I have managed to get this working.  For the benefits of others ill share my learnings:
I made a few small changes starting with my api function. Changing the function to the following:
export const getAllProducts = async (): Promise<Product[]> => {
   const response = await axios.get(`api/product`, {
     headers: {
       Accept: 'application/json',
       'Content-Type': 'application/json',
     },
 });

  return response.data as Product[];
};

I do not de-construct the response of the axios call but rather take the data object from it and return is as an Product[]
Then second thing I then changed was in my ProductTable component. Here I told useQuery which type of response to expect by changing the call to :
const { data } = useQuery<Product[], Error>('products', getAllProducts);

Lastly, a rookie mistake on my part: because I was using a mock api in a docker container running on localhost and calling it using http://localhost:5000/api/product I was getting the all to well known network error:

localhost has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present...

So to get around that for the purpose of this exercise I just added a property to the packages.json file:  "proxy":"http://localhost:5000",
This has now successfully allowed fetching of the data as I would expect it.

One thing is to read a poem to yourself in front of your fireplace. Quite different is to recite it, hear the words resound. But how are you supposed to read it? In this case Poe helps and hinders at the same time. His verse is rich in images, is incredibly rhythmic and utilizes repetition as an essential recourse.
However, what you propose is theatrical. So you have to ask yourself other essential questions: who is the protagonist? What is the role of the author, Poe, in the performance. What significance do the graphic images have? (midnight dreary, tapping, rapping, wind, nevermore, bust upon my chamber door, ebony fowl…) Is there an underlying meaning, does Poe want to "say" something with this poem? Should I say the lines rhythmically—as in the poem itself—or should I perhaps break them up into what might be closer to the rhythm of speech of a man living alone? What words or phrases should be stressed? How should the strong emotions of the protagonist be treated—his melancholic sense of loss for Leanore, the growing sense of dread, fear and frustration with the raven.
I decided first to memorize the poem (not an easy task) and then step by step let the movements emerge, the dress, the idea of connecting up with Shakespeare's Macabeth, the tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow speech where he laments the death of his wife and anticipates his own demise. Then a basement, in front of the boiler, the rehearsing began. By the night of the performance—April 18th—I had barely gone through the whole idea three or four times.
One interesting aspect of the performance developed with the ingenuity of the producer and master of ceremony, Louise Imm-Cooper, who suggested combining with poets who would read their poems. However, since not many were available we selected poems which we placed in a basket—to be chosen and read by participants in the event. We were greatly surprised when most of them did so, and very well!
Following the performance there was an exchange of ideas concerning the event and then I asked numerous spectators to send me their written critical views to be published in this blog.
"As, I leave the theater of life and enter into the compressed theatrical space with a playbill in hand, I anticipate a dramatic slice of life that will be delivered with passion and in an esthetic form. "The Raven" certainly met my highest expectations, as did the performance space at Cafe Garth in Columbia. I have had a short but tempestuous relationship with regard to poetry. No, it was not a conflict between Trochaic Octameter and the Sonnet form but one about antiwar poetry.
Now, 40 years later, I return to see Alfredo of the Hopkins Theater–in –English Workshop from Argentina perform his rendition of the Raven by Poe.
The semi-circular seating of the performance space and the prefatory poetry reading helped to create an intimacy between audience and performer. Each person picked from the collective communion basket an offertory poem to the Goddess Thaleia.
With these references in mind, my experience of the performance of "The Raven" slowly moved me out of the modernist worldview and into a postmodern experience. Alfredo's mastery of a highly structured poetic form and his skill as an improvisational artist shaped the ideas of the poem into a postmodern multi-sensory work. Refined kinetic movements, dramatic oratory and an authentic focus on the poetic narrative characterized his performance.
The audience was guided by his sculpted facial expressions through the multiple images and symbols used by Poe. Each appeared to have its own dénouement, a tension that was carried by Alfredo's improvisation. Kudos to the impresario, Louise Imm- Cooper, to the photographer Bill Adams, whose exquisite use of light intensified the photos, and to Nichols, the Sonneteer from Columbia, whose reading from Lloyd Mifflin reconnected the evening to modernity.
While the intensity of the raven echoed through the hall, upon the mantle sat a stoic symbol of parody. The vulture watched with steely eyes signifying that all of this and that of this performance would be lost in "Nevermore" if it were not for the sustaining power of Art.

La McLaren MP4/5B est la monoplace de Formule 1 engagée par l'écurie britannique McLaren Racing dans le cadre de la saison 1990 de Formule 1. Conçue par Neil Oatley, elle est pilotée par le Brésilien Ayrton Senna, présent dans l'écurie depuis 1988, et l'Autrichien Gerhard Berger, en provenance de la Scuderia Ferrari. La MP4/5B est équipée d'un moteur V10 Honda.

Historique

La saison commence aux États-Unis où Berger réalise la pole position. En course, l'Autrichien heurte un mur de pneus, sans gravité pour sa monoplace mais est dernier jusqu'à son abandon au quarante-quatrième tour sur un problème d'embrayage. Senna, parti cinquième, remonte à la seconde place dès le premier tour et se bagarre avec la Tyrrell 018 de Jean Alesi qu'il dépasse au trente-quatrième tour pour remporter la course.

Au Brésil, Senna obtient la pole position et conserve la tête de l'épreuve jusqu'au quarante-et-unième tour, où il percute la Tyrrell de Satoru Nakajima à qui il allait prendre un tour. Le Brésilien rentre aux stands pour faire réparer son aileron avant et repart troisième, place qu'il occupe à l'arrivée. Berger, parti deuxième, conserve cette position et termine derrière le vainqueur Alain Prost.

Senna et Berger occupent la première ligne du Grand Prix de Saint-Marin mais le Brésilien abandonne au troisième tour sur un problème de jante tandis que son coéquipier termine deuxième. Ayrton Senna obtient la pole position et la victoire lors des deux manches suivantes, à Monaco et au Canada ; son coéquipier obtient un podium en principauté.

Au Mexique, Gerhard Berger part de la première place et termine troisième alors que la monoplace de Senna, en tête de la course pendant les soixante premiers tours, est victime d'une crevaison de son pneu arrière-droit, l'obligeant à s'arrêter à six tours de l'arrivée.

Les Grands Prix de France et de Grande-Bretagne sont plus délicats pour McLaren, qui subit la loi des Ferrari 641. Senna obtient deux troisièmes places alors que Berger est cinquième sur le circuit Paul-Ricard. Lors des cinq manches suivantes, le Brésilien obtient trois victoires et deux deuxièmes places tandis que Berger monte à trois reprises sur le podium.

Lors du Grand Prix d'Espagne, Senna ne doit marquer qu'un point pour être sacré champion du monde devant Alain Prost. Élancé depuis la pole position et en lutte contre son rival français jusqu'au cinquante-et-troisième tour, il abandonne sur une défaillance de radiateur, permettant au pilote Ferrari de remporter la course. Trois boucles plus loin, Berger, alors cinquième, s'accroche avec la Williams de Thierry Boutsen en tentant de dépasser et abandonne.

Au Japon, avant-dernière manche de la saison, Senna réalise la pole position devant Prost. La première place sur la grille étant du côté sale de la piste, le Brésilien demande que cet emplacement soit changé. Si les organisateurs acceptent sa requête, Jean-Marie Balestre, le président de la Fédération internationale du sport automobile intervient pour l'annuler. Au départ, Prost s'envole et dépasse Senna, qui le percute au premier virage, entraînant leur abandon. Avec neuf points d'avance sur le Français à une manche de la fin du championnat, le Brésilien remporte son deuxième titre de champion du monde alors que McLaren est champion du monde des constructeurs. Si son geste suscite l'incompréhension de la part de la discipline qui regrette que Senna ne soit pas pénalisé, Ron Dennis, le patron de l'écurie, avouant même à son pilote qu'il est déçu de ce comportement, Senna explique : . De son côté, Gerhard Berger, quatrième sur la grille, part en tête-à-queue dès le premier tour.

Un an plus tard, Ayrton Senna avoue que cet accrochage était prémédité : .

Lors de la dernière manche de la saison, en Australie, Senna et Berger occupent la première ligne ; le Brésilien abandonne au soixante-et-unième tour de l'épreuve à la suite d'un accident alors qu'il était en tête et l'Autrichien termine quatrième.

À l'issue du championnat, McLaren Racing est champion du monde des constructeurs avec 121 points. Avec 78 points, Ayrton Senna devient double champion du monde, tandis que Gerhard Berger, détenteur de 43 unités, est quatrième.

Résultats en championnat du monde de Formule 1

* Le pilote n'a pas franchi la ligne d'arrivée mais est classé pour avoir parcouru plus de 90 % de la distance de course.

Here's a sterling opportunity to eavesdrop on Bunny Williams and John Rosselli's affair with their house. The garden around their Falls Village home is always a treat, but in springtime, it's particularly sublime. Not only will you find tulips and bulbs galore carpeting the formal garden, but John's vegetable and cutting garden will be gearing up.
Hike up to the Greek temple-style pool house (featured in House & Garden) by way of the old orchard with heirloom apple trees blossoming. Stroll around the primrose-and wildflower-dense woodland pond (featured in Garden Design) when its charms are popping out all over. Promenade through the arbors and partake of the focal points. Witness not only the wildflowers, but the wildlife as well – doves and various other fowl flutter around. Plus, on the property's final frontier, winged house guests feather their nests in the new "birdhouse village." Bring a pad to jot down ideas, because Williams/Rosselli – tastemakers par excellence – incorporated their unabridged arsenal of design insight into their own warm and cozy country place.

Abe Cunningham (Long Beach, 27 de julho de 1973) é um músico norte-americano, é conhecido por ser o baterista da banda de metal alternativo Deftones. Ele é conhecido por seu uso de Ghost Notes e outras técnicas de percussão.

Biografia
Abe Cunningham nasceu em Long Beach, Califórnia. Quando ele era jovem, sua família mudou-se para Sacramento. Ele começou a tocar bateria no início da adolescência a tocar bateria para sua banda Phallucy no início dos anos 90. Durante este tempo, ele também tocou bateria para o Deftones do lado, quando a banda estava tendo problemas de pouso de um baterista permanente e dedicado. No momento em que começou a aprender bateria, ele também aprendeu a tocar guitarra, mas crescendo com um padrasto (Neil), que tocava bateria, ele levou uma paixão mais profunda com a bateria. Pai de Abe, Sid, também foi um músico e uma influência mais cedo para Abe antes de sua morte prematura. Suas influências incluem Stewart Copeland, Ginger Baker e Mitch Mitchell.

Cunningham é conhecido por sua frenética, ritmos batendo em canções como "Knife Party" e uso inteligente do tempo ("Mein", "Bored" e "Rocket Skates"), enquanto ao mesmo tempo, usa pouco pedal duplo dos músicos tradicionalistas do Metal. No entanto, ele usa um pedal duplo como parte de seu kit, como pode ser visto em revistas de bateria diferentes. Um revisor BBC elogiou seu estilo para a exibição de "a expressividade certeza de um músico cujas habilidades são novas e inovadoras, ainda mais do que a maioria cena metal-sticksmen".

An English Version Of Hatsune Miku In The Future?
Recently it was made known during the "Hatsune Miku: Meet the Makers of a Digital Idol" panel over at New York Comic Con/New York Anime Festival 2010 with regards to the future plans for Miku and the rest of Crypton Vocaloids in the US according to the co-creators of Vocaloid, Hiroyuki Ito and Wataru Sasaki. We could even have a English version of Miku in the future provided a condition has to be met first. Read on for more information!
The information have been summarized and listed out in point form below for everyone's convenience.
Miku to get covered in a magazine in the US called "Tokyo Kawaii", this is a iPhone application and the publisher is by ASCII.
Kagamine Appends scheduled to be released in December 2010.
Possibility of a Vocaloid shop opening in the US should there be enough demand for it.
Plans for a English Miku to be materialized provided her Facebook has more than 39,390 likes.
The facebook page linked in this article is the official one maintained by Crypton staff.
Whr'd u get the info? O.o and the pics?
zomg o-o i hope that happens in the future and t-shirts don't forget t-shirts!
awww gotchi its ok i think Canada should get everything too .FT.
Yes!Vocaloid store in U.S.!This is awesome,can't wait when it comes.
Hi. First of all I would like to say what a great site you have.
This is amazing. I just listened to her sing "Ballet Micaniqe" On youtube, and amazed at how far they've come. What I would love is if they made the Kagamine twins sing in English, too. But I agree with Paulchan- Miku's already so popular, so why not do other vocaloids first? The others need more popularity.
Personally, I don't see why people think this is a bad idea. Making Miku sing English is great, and will be easier for those who're having trouble learning Japanese. I know you guys are saying that people may forget where she came from, but really? Anyone who sees an anime-style character (Miku) can't possibly forget that it's originally a Japanese style. At least nobody I know. And, they aren't exactly giving Miku to America, wouldn't the original creators of Miku still be in charge of the whole deal? She'd still have the same songwriters, and if they decide to hire American songwriters, then the original creators should still have a say-so in which songs are official and which aren't. Besides, It's not all of us western residents that forget what music really should be. Like me, I'm American, and I listen to Vocaloids more than any other artist, because their music really IS music.
this was like, almost 3 years ago and i have since to see a vocaloid shop in the US.

Last weekend an office for Jewish ancestry clarification purposes was inaugurated in the Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk.
Rabbi David Stav, chairman of the Rabbinical organization of Tzohar, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminsky, Dnipropetrovsk's rabbi, and Shalom Norman, Director of the Triguboff Institute participated in the event. The new office was opened as part of a co-operation between the Triguboff Institute established by Sydney businessman Harry Triguboff and the Tzohar organization, in order to aid the Jews of Ukraine to clarify their personal Jewish status while they are still in their country of origin.
Consequently it will prevent situations in which there is no ability to prove a Jewish origin once aliyah to Israel was made and the documents were left behind.
The new office will serve as a branch of the Shorashim organization and it will serve the tens of thousands of Jews from the East Ukrainian of Dnipropetrovsk and its environs as well as the thousands of Jewish refugees who fled the battle zones in the eastern part of the country and are now concentrated in the city and around it. This branch joins the existent two offices of the organization in Kiev in Moscow in addition to the main office, situated in Jerusalem.
The new office was opened following a strategic decision passed by the organization management concerning newcomers' preparations with regard to Judaism clarification before their aliyah. This decision results from the fact that a substantial part of the newcomers to Israel start to clarify their Jewish origin only when they desire in marriage, years after they have made aliyah, when no access to the required documents is longer available; In some of the cases the only living witnesses who can testify as to one's Judaism have already passed away. This creates many cases in which one cannot prove his or hers Judaism and he or she is directed to the conversion.
A special delegation from Israel also took part in the office opening. The office is to be run by Dr. Yaakov (Yasha) Geysinowitz, who also serves as the chief Mohel in Ukraine, and with assistance of lawyer Dr. Jenna Bloritski, who runs the Kiev "Shorashim" office and in coordination with the "Shorashim" office in Jerusalem. The "Shorashim" staff in Ukraine cooperates with the "Zionist Midrasaha" in Kiev chaired by Elisha Henkin, the Jewish Agency representatives in Dnipropetrovsk and around, Maxim Lurye and Nathalie Nvitovski, and in coordination with the Israeli ambassador in Ukraine, Mr. Eliav Bellotsercowski.
In a preparatory meeting at the city's Rabbi's office, Rabbi David Stav said that "there is no bigger aid for a Jew than helping him to prove his Jewish status and consequently his identity as a Jew. Up till today, the Shorashim organization had saved thousands of Jews in this manner – a thing which emphasizes the importance of this current move". The city's rabbi, Rabbi Shmuel Kamintsky, accentuated the significance of the opening of the office at Dnipropetrovsk by saying "This is saving lives. It is my intent to supply you with an abundance of work".
Shalom Norman of the Trigobuff Institute quoted Abba Kovner's poem titled "A Jew is who", which reads "A Jew is whoever wants to be a Jew; and who is a Jew reluctantly (…) a Jew is who is having difficulties being a Jew; and who finds being anything else difficult. A Jew is who is born to a Jewish mother; and a Jew is who knows not where his mother's grave is (…) A Jew is who is not separated from the rest of the nations; save what differentiates him from them. A Jew is who others hate secretly; and a Jew is who hates himself openly and publicly".
Hi. Will this list be available on ancestry research sites? JRI listed a Morovkhovskaya in Dneperpetrovk who may be my late grandmother's grandfather. How will I be able to access your information? Congratulations on beginning this project.
Please let me have details of where and how we can contact this office of Ukraine Jewish Identity.

So Garu had a baby with a human with some of those foam dog ears on? Neat.
That makes him... Dad Ranger #4 since number 1 is Abare Black, then Hurricane Yellow as of 10 Years After, and Akaninger said he is a dad and his baby son will be born soon in Zyuoh vs Ninnin.
A human, or a canine alien that they wanted to have an actress play for some reason? The ears would hint that she's an alien.
I know she's supposed to be an alien, but those foam ears are so unconvincing she might as well be human. Either way, either she's a different species from Garu that happens to somehow be biologically compatible, or it's one of the worst cases of sexual dimorphism I've seen since the angler fish.
or it's one of the worst cases of sexual dimorphism I've seen since the angler fish.
I can think of worse dimorphism than anglers. At least the male survives after mating.
I'd rather Garu had looked more human, anyway. I hate it when these alien characters have heads that can't fit into their helmets without slicing off parts.
Obviously because Hami is a Chameleon, and when she inevitably returns to the Kyurangers, she's going to fight Mele.
But man Hami's acting is even more forced than usual.
But it raises so many questions, the least of which being that Mele became a confirmed Extra Hero in Gokaiger, why is she evil again?
I said it before somewhere else, I'll say it again here. Didn't she technically die? If so then the best, and probably obvious, excuse is she was brought back by evil means. So she's bound by the will of whoever brought her back.
Unless it's like Go-Busters vs. Gokaiger in which the "revived" villains are not the ACTUAL versions, but copies of a sort; a dark shadow of their old evil in physical form!

Udupi, Dec 01, 2015: According to an official release, in connection with "World AIDS day" on Dec1, more than 300 persons have tested positive for HIV in Udupi district till October 2015. According to a press release issued by the District AIDS Prevention and Control Unit, 315 persons, 309 were adults and six were children.
In 2014, 473 persons had tested positive for HIV in the district which included 469 adults and four children. Of the 624 persons who had tested positive for HIV in 2013, 610 were adults and 14 were children. The World AIDS Day would be observed here on Tuesday. The theme of World AIDS Day, this year, is 'Getting to zero." This included 'Zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, zero AIDS related deaths'. With the help of Union and State governments, the DAPCU had initiated several steps to prevent and control HIV/AIDS in the district.
The DAPCU said that free HIV testing was being done at 80 centres in the district including primary health centres, taluk hospitals, district government hospital and private hospitals. Those who tested positive for HIV were being counseling services at these centres.
Free Antiretroviral therapy (ART) to treat eligible HIV patients was being provided at the district government hospital and at the government hospital in Kundapur. They were also being free ART medicines in both these places. Link ART facility was available at PHCs in Byndoor, Hebri, and Brahmavar and at the government hospital in Karkala.


CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido on Monday called on supporters to continue taking to the streets in protest of power and water shortages, as the government of President Nicolas Maduro appeared prepared to begin a rationing program.
"Every time the power goes out, or we do not have water, or we do not have gas, guess what we are going to do?" Juan Guaido, the leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, said at a rally at the country's Catholic University. "We are going to protest, we are going to make demands, we are going to take to the streets of Venezuela, because it is our right."
Guaido invoked the country's constitution to assume an interim presidency in January, arguing Maduro's 2018 re-election was illegitimate. He has been recognised by most Western and South American countries as the OPEC nation's rightful leader.
Maduro, a socialist, calls Guaido a puppet of the United States who is attempting to oust him in a coup. He has blamed both the U.S. government and the domestic opposition for "attacks" on the country's main hydroelectric facility, which his government says have been causing the blackouts.
Maduro said the country would begin a program of "load administration," which Venezuelans on social media interpreted as a program of power rationing, without providing details on when it would start.
Electricity supplies have been intermittent in Caracas for several days, leading to the cancellation of school activities and a shortened workday on Monday. On Monday morning, the power was on in some blocks but not in adjacent ones.
Maduro's critics and local electrical engineers consulted by Reuters said the blackouts were due to years of underinvestment and lack of maintenance of the country's electrical infrastructure.

The Ashley Madison Hack Is a Huge Deal; It's Furthermore Replete With Fake Ideas
The dump of individual suggestions belonging to Ashley Madison, which advertises it self as a discerning option to have actually an event, includes some 36 million profile, as well as the gleefully harmful edges regarding the websites are now actually pouring across the database to spot and out community authorities. The message board 4chan keeps created and printed databases of e-mail inside dump that seem to fit in with federal government staff. Up to now, records of UK and Israeli authorities email messages have-been published on the site.
Precisely what do these emails have in common? They certainly were all the type of leaked by several hackers whom infiltrated the dating site Ashley Madison. At danger of declaring the obvious, they obviously cannot are part of the men whoever names they normally use.
The complete dump of user details owned by Ashley Madison, which advertises by itself as a discerning way to has an event
Covers some 36 million records, and also the gleefully harmful corners with the net are now actually pouring across the database to identify and out general public authorities. The message board 4chan has gathered and posted listings of emails in dump that seem to fit in with authorities workers. Thus far, listings of British and Israeli government email messages are printed on the internet site.
Just like the big heap of information — the uncompressed document containing the dump try 9.7 gigabytes in compressed kind — is sifted through, the likelihood is that people might find a flurry of tales about community individuals who had been foolish enough to utilize profile information on your website letting their actual identities are exposed. (One note: Ashley Madison decided not to call for emails is validated for them to end up being inserted into their databases, and so the appeal of a message address isn't adequate to ensure that a person made use of the webpages.)
Some U.S. national authorities and people in the American military could be among that class. Based on a website assessment done by a hacker whom goes on the moniker t0x0 , the dump consists of merely over 15,000 users with emails with a .gov or .mil site. Many those details will be phony, causing all of the whitehouse.gov email messages are typical but undoubtedly fakes. Most, if not all, White House staffers have actually email addresses with domain names specific towards the workplaces whereby they work.
Contact with authorities domain names are sure to be scrutinized in coming era, but as some of this complete dump plus the many .gov and .mil details that exist in this field, they make upwards an extremely little portion of the 36 million released account.
But among that trove, discover probably be some users in the authorities and military whom did need her expert target to sign up for your website. The most typical site one of the .mil and .gov domain names is actually us.army.mil with 6,788 entries. Next destination is actually conducted by navy.mil, with 1,665 entries; usmc.mil will come in third, with 809. More biggest organizations within the dump through the state dept., whoever website include 33 records. The office of Homeland protection provides 45 records. The U.S. office of experts Affairs has actually 104 records.
Some of the domain names appear to specific U.S. basics or vessels. The website cvn74.navy.mil contains 32 entries. That domain name is one of the plane company USS John C. Stennis . Basics with large numbers of entries associated with their domain names feature Tinker environment energy Base in Oklahoma.
it is not merely government e-mails which can be part of the dump. The site ky.gov, which redirects to kentucky.gov , include 73 entries, the absolute most of just one state-level site. Different sub-federal domains having emails in the dump feature schools.nyc.gov, which belongs to nyc's office of Education and contains 27 records from inside the dump.
Avid existence news, proprietors of Ashley Madison, said in a statement this provides launched an investigation with forensic professionals to ascertain " the origin, character, and scope of the fight," incorporating that providers is cooperating with police in Canada and United States, such as the FBI. Carol Cratty, an FBI spokesperson, verified the FBI is exploring the breach but declined to deliver any information on the probe.
The cluster in charge of the hack, which calls it self effects personnel, stated in a statement accompanying the dump that they were acting out of indignation toward the site's marketing of what the hackers discover as immoral practices. "90-95% of genuine people is male," the team mentioned in its manifesto. "Chances is your own people registered on the world's biggest event site, but never ever had one. The guy simply tried to. If It distinction things."

WHEN MERIT-BASED HIRING IS DEEMED RACIST, BRIDGES FALL DOWN
As individuals, we want the best doctors treating and operating on us, the best pilots flying the airplanes we board, the best engineers designing the bridges we cross, the best scientists inventing and bringing to market the medicines and potions we ingest.
Yet the American Idiocracy is moving to equate merit-based institutions with institutionalized racism.
Tucker Carlson, likely the only merit-based hiree at Fox News, recently divulged that a member of the Trump administration was overheard (by a thought-police plant) expressing a preference for merit-based recruits for his department.
Egad, and what next!
Google, a tool of the Idiocracy, appears to have scrubbed its search of this latest episode in "The Closing of the American Mind." However, it's no secret that the education system already excludes the most naturally gifted, independent-minded individuals from fields in which they'd excel.
Race preferences notwithstanding, requirements for social activism of the right kind, for volunteerism and worldviews of the left kind, for working exclusively toward the best grades: These are things girls do better than boys.
In any event, when the best-person-for-the-job ethos gives way to racial and gender window-dressing and to the enforcement of politically pleasing perspectives; things start to fall apart.
A spanking new bridge collapses, new trains on maiden trips derail, Navy ships keep colliding, police and FBI failure and bad faith become endemic, and the protocols put in place by a government "for the people" protect offending public servants who've acted against the people.
As in this writer's birth place of South Africa, the U.S. government has a pyramid of hiring preferences. Guess which variables feature prominently in its considerations? Complexion or competency?
Consider the procurement pyramid that went into destroying the steady supply of coal to South-African electricity companies. Bound by Black Economic Empowerment policies, buyers buy spot coal, first from black women-owned suppliers, then from small black suppliers, next are large, black suppliers, and only after all these options have been exhausted—or darkness descends, whatever comes first—from "other" suppliers.
The result: An expensive and unreliable coal supply and rolling blackouts.
Everywhere, media are congenitally incurious and corrupt. They aren't digging. But it's likely that similar considerations will go a long way in explaining the collapse of a Florida university campus pedestrian bridge, under which people were pulverized.
So far, the attitude of those who're doing this can be summed thus: S-it happens. Deal.
As for the public; it receives no follow-up and learns to demand none. Hence, "The Closing of the American Mind."
But if American institutions continue to subordinate their raison d'être to politically dictated egalitarianism, reclaiming these institutions, private and public, from the deforming clutches of affirmative action will become impossible.
It might already be impossible.
For example: Former FBI agent and patriot Philip Haney was dismissed by Barack Obama from the Department of Homeland Security and is nowhere to be found in the Trump Administration. This brilliant man's goal was to do his job: stop Muslim terrorists in the US.
Alas, the intricate program and extensive network of contacts Haney developed were nixed, because political priorities had come to dominate the agency. As a result, innocents died.
Treason? I'd say so. So, where are the purges?
What were once merit-based institutions are being hollowed-out like husks through preferential, non-merit-based hiring, quotas, set-asides, not to mention the policing of thought for political propriety.
No longer beholden to the unifying, overarching value of merit, institutions, moreover, become riven by tribal feuds and factional loyalties—both in government and in business alike, where it is well-known that newly arrived "minorities" hire nepotistically.
Across the American workplace, the importance of "meritocratic criteria" such as test scores or "minimum credentials" has been downplayed, if not downright eliminated as "inherently biased against minorities."
The U.S. government hasn't had an entrance test since … 1982. It abandoned both the Federal Civil Service Entrance Examination and the Professional and Administrative Career Examination (PACE) because blacks and Latinos were much less likely to pass either of them.
In academia, law schools have lowered the bar in admissions and on the bar exam. Universities run a "dual admissions system"—"one admissions pool for white applicants and another, far less competitive, pool for minorities."
The institutionalized American "quota culture" has been imposed by administrative fiat, courtesy of the "The Power Elite"—that engorged "administrative state" under which Americans labor.
For the purposes of conferring affirmative action privileges, American civil servants have compiled over the decades an ever-growing list of protected groups, "as distinct from whites."
In addition to blacks, the list entails mainly minorities such as Hispanics—Chileans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, and Mexicans—Pacific Islanders, American Indians, Asian/Indians, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Cambodians (and homosexuals).
If the kind of immigration policies instituted by the über-left American Idiocracy (it includes most Republicans) continue apace, the institutional tipping-point will be reached in no time.
The reason is the "immigration-with-preference paradox," first noted by Frederick R. Lynch, author of "Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action" (1991).
Once mass immigration became a bipartisan policy, millions of imported non-black minorities were—still are—given preference over native-born American citizens. No sooner do these minorities cross the border, legally or illegally, than they become eligible for affirmative-action privileges.
These preference policies govern both state- and big-business bureaucracies, which seem to have voluntarily (and energetically) embraced them, if only to subdue their white workforce.
It goes without saying that "those who came to this country in recent decades from Asia, Latin America and Africa" did not suffer discrimination from our government, and in fact have frequently been the beneficiaries of special government programs."
There's a world of difference between compelling minority recruitment to equal the proportion of minorities in the population and enforcing majority recruitment to equal the proportion of the majority in the population.
In South Africa, the majority is targeted for affirmative action: 75 percent of the population! In the U.S., it's the minority.
South Africa underwent an almost overnight political transformation. One day a white, relatively well-educated minority dominated all institutions; the next, a skills-deficient black majority took over. Nevertheless, South Africa's hollowed-out establishments are a harbinger of things to come in the U.S., where minorities will soon form a majority.
If American institutions have not yet collapsed entirely under the diversity doxology's dead weight; it's because the restructuring of society underway is slower.
Again, this will change once minorities in the US form a majority, as they soon will due to continued, unabated, mass immigration from the Third World.

Maybe a summer holiday, colours that remind you of that, a Christmas holiday, sporting holiday, a romantic weekend away…. the list is endless. Please remember your card has to be CAS – clean and simple. If you are unsure please check out the rules on the ATCAS challenge blog.
To see full details of the challenge and the wonderful selection of inspirational projects by the DT and to join in the fun please click HERE.
For the challenge this week I have made a quick set of note cards. My perfect holiday would be some where like Devon in the UK and strolls along the beach in the Autumn collecting drift wood and pebbles. We can all dream! Ooooo! I have just thought Devonshire Cream Teas….yummy!!
So, I have gone with a beach theme and used colours of wheathered drift wood and pebbles in my cards. When I took these photos, the light in the Conservatory was not the best but you get the idea.
I have tied (pardon the pun) all of the cards together by using the postage marks and string.
Just to Share: Rubber stamps used: Seagull and Light House are from Chocolate Baroque and the Beach Huts and Postage Marks are from Crafty Individuals.
This week's sponser of the ATCAS challenge is Delicious Doodles.

This dry, hot, dusty weather that most of us have been dealing with can be just as hard on our bikes. One thing we need to check a little more is our air filter. Not only does the air filter stop a lot of dirt and grime, it also catches some vented oil that is being evacuated by the crankcase vents. On average a paper air filter will run you $25.00 or more, so it might be time to consider a K&N filter from K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) . The K & N line up of filters allow you to clean your filter when it becomes soiled, up to "A Million Miles" as their warranty states. Not only do these filters offer the convenience of virtually never having to buy another filter again, they deliver increased airflow to the engine, resulting in increased power and fuel economy. K & N offers filters to fit most applications, with some starting as low as $52.00, a real money saver. Clean your filter a few times and it's paid for itself. Check out K and G Cycles(www.kandgcycles.com) to see the large selection and determine the filter that's right for you.

INDIANAPOLIS — You may have noticed interest rates rising and car payments increasing. According to Edmunds, the average Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for a car loan reached 5.1% in May. After years of near 0% financing, that's a shock to auto buyers, but it's not going to end anytime soon. Raising interest rates is the key way for the Federal Reserve to take steam out of the economy and curb inflation. That's what they did, but it's now more expensive to finance a vehicle.
Compounding costs
Add to that record-high gas prices over $5/gallon and, and according to Edmunds, average payments reached $656 for new vehicles and $546 for used vehicles during May – both records. At the same time, the average term for auto loans averaged 70.8 months – another record. In previous inflationary periods, automakers and dealers may have been able to negotiate better pricing to balance higher interest rates, but the ongoing chip shortage means buyers will likely pay full price. There's nothing fun about it.
So, what should car shoppers do? It's important to consider the total cost of ownership, including fuel consumption. Let's use my friend George as an example. He really liked the Kia Telluride, a three-row crossover retailing for nearly $50,000 loaded. It's pricey and likes gasoline when loaded with family and all their stuff. Instead, George purchased the slightly smaller Kia Sorento Hybrid for about $10,000 less and with considerably better fuel economy. It was a fair compromise that significantly reduced his overall cost of driving.
2022 Sorento PHEV
Consider your budget for all-in cost of auto ownership, including gasoline, insurance and payments. Do not compromise. And, don't extend payments beyond 48-60 months. At 70 months, you'll likely be "upside down," or owe more than your vehicle is worth, for much of the payment period. If George had really wanted the Telluride, he could have bought a more basic version with smaller wheels, less chrome, and the base stereo. But, moving to a less expensive model gave him all the features he really wanted with minor decrease in comfort and convenience. Hybrid fuel economy was a further lift to his wallet.
There are great vehicles at every price point. Have no shame driving a $20,000 Nissan Versa or $25,000 Toyota Corolla Hybrid that will serve for many years with excellent fuel economy. Or, consider an electric vehicle to completely alleviate the impact of gas prices. Again, it's about total cost of ownership. Do not be talked into a vehicle you cannot afford…or into payment terms that will leave you hanging.
In the spirit of reducing your overall cost of ownership, and extending your vehicle's life, focus on maintenance.

If you are unable or unwilling to complete regular maintenance yourself, take your auto to the dealer or an ASE-certified mechanic to complete the service. Follow the owner's manual and have the service items completed on time. Especially with high payments, you may be tempted to push off the oil change, belt replacement or transmission fluid replenishment. Don't. It will only cost you later.
As during the late 1970s, high interest rates and record gas prices are drastically changing automotive buying habits. We've had years of cheap gas and low finance rates, which have enabled many of us to buy large luxurious vehicles without regard for payments. Those days are over, but by adjusting what we drive and how we care for it, we'll get through this together.
Storm Forward!

Sit On the Toilet with One Eye Closed. Your Nights Will Never Be the Same!
The human body is working all the time, repairing damage and adapting to its environment. There are some tricks to help you outsmart it. Some are funny, while others seem like superpowers.
If you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, try to keep only one eye open. If the bright light from the bulb enters both eyes, your body will think it is time to wake up and so you will have more difficulties to fall asleep again. However, if you keep one eye closed, your brain will adjust much easier to the darkness and you will be able to fall asleep faster.
Next time you are dealing with a headache, don't massage your temples, but pull your ear instead. When you rub your temples, you help release tension around your eyebrows, while the nerve pathways around your ears can relax the whole body. Take your ear between your thumb and forefinger and pull gently up and down. It will release fresh fluid to the brain and give it some extra nourishment.
If you have troubles swallowing medications, try this: put the pill in your mouth and lean your head forward before you swallow. When leaning forward, your swallow reflex is activated and your body should swallow the pill on its own.
Brain freeze occurs often in summertime. It is when we can't wait to sink our teeth into that ice cream of Popsicle. Then the brain tries to protect itself from the rapid change in temperature. You can get rid of this problem by pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. The warmth will relax the blood vessels and the headache will be quickly relieved.
If you are in a situation when you should not be crying, even if you really want to, follow this: find a few different points in the room and stare intensely at them. Repeat the colors of these objects over and over again in your head. It will decrease your pulse and distract you.
When you have sat too long with your legs crossed or your arm fell asleep and it's all pricks and needles. You can try two things: tense the muscles in that part of the body and shake it or hop awkwardly on one leg and wait until the pricks and needles go away.
Also, you can slowly roll your head from side to side. The feeling will go away when you release the nerves or vessels which are pressured or the blood flow is interrupted. This won't help you with your feet, so you will just have to activate them by performing the uncomfortable dance.
Hiccups can be caused by eating too fast, swallowing air, temperature changes in the stomach, or when excited. Here is one trick you need to try when experiencing hiccups next time: open your mouth and swallow several times leaving your mouth open. This way your diaphragm will relax and your hiccups will disappear.
Not only kids, but also adults are afraid of needles. Try this next time you are going to the doctor's office: Cough lightly a few times as the needle is being placed and the procedure should ne painless. The body becomes distracted, so probably it is the reason this trick works.

How to Do Things with Sensors: How to Retool Tool Kits
How to Do Things with Sensors
How to Retool Tool Kits
I AM FREQUENTLY ASKED whether Citizen Sense research is empowering people and communities through the participatory research undertaken on citizen-sensing technologies. The short answer is, not as directly as that. The medium answer is, we should always query the uncomplicated connection between technology and empowerment. The long answer is, it might be advisable to review this how-to exploration, which seeks to trouble and rework the ways in which tool kits—and empowerment—are constituted. Or, as Stengers has suggested, it might also be possible to consider how to undertake the "empowerment of a situation," which involves "giving a situation that gathers the power to force those who are gathered to think and invent."[1] This how-to guide explains how it might be possible to inhabit yet also to transform the ways in which these technologies operate, through open-air instrumentalisms, and to seek out creative forms of misuse that challenge the assertion that technology made this happen or that Sensor = Outcome. In this way, it might also be possible to reorient the usual and primary attention away from how to make a sensor talk to a platform toward more open-ended engagements with these technologies. Such reorienting and retooling practices challenge the usual configurations of action—and empowerment. They also rework the political relations that are made possible. This is a way in which to retool tool kits.
When using the term retool, I am inevitably drawing on work from feminist theory and technoscience to propose how to work against the grain of dominant technological narratives.[2] Retooling is a practice that is honed through struggle: struggle with and against the standard operating procedures. Retooling is a way to transform and invent technoscientific practices. It asks how tool kits are configured, how they are operationalized, which subjects are drawn into their modes of action, which relations are configured, and which worlds are made and sustained. These are questions of process and mechanism: the how of the how-to so that further engagement and working through of instruction and procedure might find the flex points for transformation.
While this text could have undertaken a survey of citizen-sensing and citizen-science tool kits, I have deliberately opted not to follow the categorical impulse but instead sought to examine the imperative mood and the instrumental mode of action. Rather than pursue a definitional or taxonomic study of practices or tool kits, this text has suggested that tool kits as instruments and instrumentalities give way to inquiry and action that in turn transform the instruments in use. Categories could only ever serve as a provisional way to understand these tool kits and practices.[3] Indeed, the more interesting tool kits incorporate contingency as a crucial part of how they provide resources for organizing action.
Many other tool kits, DIY projects, and community projects have traversed this space of instruction, contingency, action, and alternative engagement. From the Center for Urban Pedagogy's Making Policy Public pamphlet series, which explains and guides publics through complex legal issues like housing and worker's rights,[4] to A Guidebook for Alternative Nows, which collects examples of alternative economies and engagement experiments,[5] to Zach Blas's manual for "queer technological strategy"[6] to the 3D Additivist Cookbook for cooking up alternative inhabitations in troubling times,[7] a wide range of tool kits and guidebooks are experimenting with the form of the instructional and the imperative to work toward more democratic operating conditions.
There are also much different ways of engaging with DIY and technology that can contribute to community projects of addressing environmental pollution and public health. Alondra Nelson has described how the Black Panther Party undertook projects in DIY community health activism, which offered much different ways of mobilizing (medical) technology and political subjects in the interests of social justice.[8] These practices can be ways of transforming technologies and social relations. They make alternative worlds through attending to the political subjects and communities of inquiry involved in open-air instrumentalisms, where experimenting with the conditions and potential of altered technoscientific arrangements can also undo power structures that contribute to health inequalities.
The point of interrogating instrumentality in this way has been to consider how citizen-sensing technologies could be described as instrumental in the limited sense: as merely functional and utensil-like, as Simondon has suggested. Politics as scripted through these engagements could also be seen to fall into the trap of a more reductive instrumentality. But as this discussion has suggested, there is more to an understanding and practice of instruments and instrumentalities than might initially have been suspected. Instrumentalisms become prospective in the effects they might generate and the relations they might inform. They are formed in the open air, as open-air instrumentalisms. Instrumentalities generate new political inhabitations. The tool kit and the instructional are not necessarily expressive of the starkly functional or extractive form of instrumentality, because instruments develop through engaged and contingent practices. Instrumentalism involves setting in motion, operationalizing, and potentially transforming. Instruments—whether in the form of concepts or sensors—are instrumental to the unfolding, the doing, and the transforming, where other ways of living and other processes are articulated. I have suggested here that How to Do Things with Sensors is a project that moves from the imperative mood and reductive instrumentality to one that might generate more contingent open-air instrumentalisms, particularly in relation to citizen engagement with environmental-monitoring technologies. This reworking of citizen-sensing technology and technical relations intends to counter the sinister veneer of Silicon Valley and the smug tyranny of the tech bro, where normativity, exclusion, and reductive technical relations contribute to unjust and undemocratic practices, relations, and worlds.
You might find that once you start to look for instruments, you find them everywhere: much like Haraway's air pump, they are at work in-forming and re-constituting subjects and objects, nature and culture, conditions of fact and knowledge, public and private, legitimacy and illegitimacy, authority and marginality. This guidebook suggests that it would be advisable to approach these instruments through the concept and practice of open-air instrumentalisms, where experimental approaches as well as new technical relations, modes of inquiry, forms of political engagement, environmental commitments, and ways of world-making might materialize. In this sense, How to Do Things with Sensors interrogates the diagram of citizen sensing as mode of technological engagement that is meant to lead to specific political effects. Drawing on pragmatism, feminist technoscience, indigenous and critical race theory and practice, this how-to guide develops an approach to sensors where methods, practice, ideas, and theory are co-constituted, embodied, and retooled. How to do things is to ask how to transform things. It is to inquire how to experience and influence worlds. Instruments and instrumentalities do not offer up guaranteed ends but rather unfold operations that are ways of engaging with ideas, technologies, relations, entities, environments, and worlds. Dewey referred to instruments as ideas that were capable of "organizing future observations and experiences" rather than "reporting and registering past experiences." Instrumentalisms, in this sense, are propositional. If there is action to be undertaken, they are in some way focused on making possible interventions and change. This is an approach that focuses on "consequent phenomena" rather than historical facts and is what Dewey would refer to as something "revolutionary in its consequences."[9]
Here's what you might have learned in the process of following these instructions: how-to is not a rule but a proposition. Its imperative mood is one of obligation and even urgency more than command. How-to is an instrumental project, where—following Dewey—meaning arises through contingent operations that make and remake (democratic) worlds. How-to enables modes of inquiry, action, and conduct. How-to is experimental in its searching after ways to address problems. How-to demonstrates how distinct ideas and instrumental actions are tied to different communities of inquiry and possibilities for transforming and retooling action. While the how-to might initially seem to present straightforward instructions pointing toward guaranteed results, the how-to approach should necessarily engage with the pitfalls, deviations, and antitriumphalism of undertaking citizen-sensing and environmental-monitoring projects in concrete situations. Such a how-to tool kit, then, is productive of open-air instrumentalisms. It works within the genre of the how-to but also seeks to retool this narrative and technical tool kit in order, as Berlant suggests, "to invent new genres for the kinds of speculative work we call theory."[10]
Next, you might find that when working with sensors, you can put these considerations of the how-to to work when asking
1. how to monitor pollution over time;
2. how to teach yourself atmospheric chemistry;
3. how to analyze data;
4. how to construct evidence;
5. how to write a data story;
6. how to ring a regulator;
7. how to influence policy;
8. how to organize a movement;
9. how to remake environmental relations;
10. how to build more just worlds.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013)/ERC Grant Agreement no. 313347, "Citizen Sensing and Environmental Practice: Assessing Participatory Engagements with Environments through Sensor Technologies."

        expect(true).eq(true);
        done()
    })

    // messages.forEach((row, i) => {
    //     it('Should return expected response for message #' + (i + 1), done => {
    //         const { send, expected } = row
    //         let actual = hardCoded[i]
    //         expect(actual).to.equal(expected)
    //         done()
    //     })
    // })

})

There's also the issue that the commented out it function is not executed at all. I added the dummy test just to try to fix the before issue first. I'm assuming it's not working because of the loop.

A: mocha RUN CYCLE OVERVIEW
:

*When a test file is loaded, Mocha executes all of its suites and finds–but does not execute–any hooks and tests therein.

*Any "before all" hooks (for the root suite, this only happens once; see root hook plugins)

Every call to describe() immediately executes its callback. However, calls to it record the test for later execution. Mocha is discovering your tests while doing this but not executing them right away. At this point in time, the before hook has not been executed. That's why console.log('after', messages) logs empty array.
Simply put, the order of execution is: describe() and its callback => before hook => it()
E.g.
const { expect } = require('chai');

let messages = [];

before((done) => {
  // simulate read csv operator
  setTimeout(() => {
    messages.push(...[1, 2, 3]);
    console.log(`[${new Date().toISOString()}] before`, messages);
    done();
  }, 1000);
});

describe('Should return correct responses', () => {
  console.log(`[${new Date().toISOString()}] after`, messages);

  it('dummy', () => {
    console.log(`[${new Date().toISOString()}] run dummy test case`);
    expect(messages).to.be.deep.eq([1, 2, 3]);
  });
});

test result:
[2020-12-25T05:31:45.066Z] after []

[2020-12-25T05:31:46.073Z] before [ 1, 2, 3 ]
  Should return correct responses
[2020-12-25T05:31:46.075Z] run dummy test case
