Mike Amundsen has released his Microservices book for free!
From personal experience writing and deploying micro services in a very large tech company, the biggest advantage of micro services comes from a scalability perspective, both it terms of computing and engineering resources. Mind you, those two advantages materialize if and only if you have very good infrastructure to share code across projects and to make deployment as easy as possible, otherwise you'll spend tons of time doing devops and reinventing the wheel (say, implementing distributed locking) on every project. If you are Google or Netflix, you already have those problems solved. If you are a tiny startup with a single product, then over engineering just to be buzzword complaint might literally kill your business.

17 of the world's top scientists and academics have today launched a joint statement, the 'Earth Statement', outlining eight fundamental elements which the post-2015 climate agreement should feature if the world is to have a reasonable chance at halting severe climate change. The document highlights the absolute necessity for the world to become a zero carbon society by 2050. In order to achieve this, three-quarters of all known fossil fuels would need to remain underground and we would need to see a significant boost in governments' research and development activities into clean energy and mitigation technologies.
Launched on 22 April 2015, celebrated as International Earth Day, the Earth Statement calls on policy makers around the world to mobilise their efforts against climate change and highlights eight key elements which should characterise the post-2015 climate deal.
Firstly, the statement underlines the importance of limiting global temperature rise to below 2°C in order to avoid irreversible damages to the planet's ecosystems and wellbeing. It also warns that currently we are on a path to around 4°C warming by 2100, and that if we fail to act now, there is even a 1 in 10 risk of exceeding 6°C by 2100. To illustrate the magnitude of damages this would entail for humanity the text explains that "such a 1 in 10 probability is the equivalent of tolerating about 10,000 airplane crashes every day worldwide".
Reaffirming latest findings of the IPCC and a number of other recent reports, the statement calls for the need to respect the global carbon budget, which in other words, means leaving at least three quarters of all known fossil fuel reserves in the ground.
Attaining deep decarbonisation and a zero-carbon society by 2050 would necessitate the adoption of ambitious national targets, including the setting of carbon price, as well as the possibility to adjust these national targets via regular reviews. Nevertheless, the text also highlights that 'equity' should be central to a successful global climate agreement, and that the least developed countries should be granted the right to development.
The document recognises that the unprecedented nature of the climate challenge needs to be matched with unprecedented technological advances.
What is more, in November 2014 the United Nations Commission for Europe (UNECE) submitted recommendations to the UN Climate Change Secretariat calling for strong incentives to be provided to CCS within the post-2015 climate agreement.
Among the signatories of the Earth Statement are Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of the IPCC, Carlos Nobre, one of Brazil's most renowned climate scientists, US economist Jeffrey Sachs, and Lord Stern, former World Bank chief economist and author of the famous Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change.
Bellona has been closely following the evolution of the climate negotiations in the lead up to COP 21 and will continue its efforts in ensuring the ambitious and timely conclusion of the agreement.

note that when you build shared libs on solaris at least that you create a library with not all of its symbols resolved... if you do a ldd libldap.so and see file not found, then you would have your problem found.
hmm unfortunately it is not a "file not found" errort message which can be solved with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable.
aix will by default attempt to resolve every symbol before it can create an executable/shared object, but can be changed with some switches.
that is indeed a nice feature. I tried to use the ld -z defs switch which should normally force a fatal error if any undefined symbols remain but I haven't obtained any positive result with that switch.
your php error... do ldd libphp.so, and look for file not found. do not use -r.
it can't find the ldap_get_lderrno function which is defined in netscape's ldap.h But not in openldap's. So I really wonder why it wants this function !??
this solved a liitle piece of my pain & problem.
i place my libs in /usr/local/lib and pass to gcc/ld -R, which tells the linker to search in the colon separated path for libraries. i had to use GNU binutils to get openssl0.9.6b to build correctly, but removed it for all other apps.
does apache or php crash on calls to ldap functions?
you configure options for php included the path to your openldap install base dir?
what kind of a lucky man you are !!


Bosch will introduce four new system-ICs at Electronica 2018 from November 13-16 in Hall C3, Booth 522.
The integrated circuit CG912 is designed to initiate up to four pyro fuses in the battery wiring in the event of an accident, decreasing the risk of electrical shock when coming into contact with the vehicle's chassis. It can also provide power to the battery.
Bosch's new oxygen sensor evaluation IC CJ138 offers multiple possibilities for fitting an engine control unit to a wide range of oxygen sensors, as well as accurate sensor cable diagnostic for short circuit or interruption.

BIG RELEASE FOR WORSHIP LEADER WILLIAM MCDOWELL COMING SOON!
Written By Ed Powell
Source: Rick Diamond / Getty
Sequels are often highly anticipated and William McDowell's follow-up to the 2016 top-selling "Sounds Of Revival" is no exception. The Grammy® nominated, prolific worship leader is set to release "SOUNDS OF REVIVAL II: DEEPER" on March 3.
Touted as an 'all-star' project "SOUNDS OF REVIVAL II: DEEPER" offers never-before-heard live performances from McDowell's Baton Rouge concert recording. McDowell presented his local community of singers on the first 'Sounds of Revival' while "SOUNDS OF REVIVAL II: DEEPER" displays a community of world renowned worshippers. The album is full of special appearances by Tina Campbell, Israel Houghton, Travis Greene, Nicole Binion, Jonathan McReynolds, Brian Courtney Wilson & Jonathan Stockstill, and the return of Charles & Taylor.
Tina Campbell joins McDowell, on the current single "Come To Jesus." The sweeping altar call ballad is a pleasant departure from McDowell's usual offering. There is a refinement in the song's simplicity as the two match vocals wonderfully.
Authentic and powerful, "SOUNDS OF REVIVAL II: DEEPER" presents genuine worship songs that flow beautifully from one to another. Fans will receive 3 immediate downloads when pre-ordered on iTunes: "Come to Jesus," with Tina Campbell, "It Is So," featuring Travis Greene and "In Your Presence," with 5x Grammy winner, Israel Houghton.

Q: Quering XML embedded code from SSRS I have XML embedded data and I'm querying it from SSRS using XML data provider, I'm using the XML Query and Element Path to query the data and code from SSRS Data set, here is my data structure in the Data set:
<Query>
<XmlData>
<Customers>
<Customer>
<CustomerType>Peopole</CustomerType>
<FirstName>Bobby</FirstName>
</Customer>
<Customer>
<CustomerType>Org</CustomerType>
<FirstName>Crystal</FirstName>
</Customer>
</Customers>
</XmlData>
<ElementPath>Customers/Customer</ElementPath>
</Query>

I need to get only the customer of type People, what should be written in the element path tag to return the people type only ??

A: From my understanding, the SSRS engine does not allow you to filter rows based on an element's value.
"The query language supported through the XML data provider resembles the XML Path language (XPATH). However, there are both syntactical and behavioral differences between the two languages. Perhaps the most notable difference is the lack of querying and filtering support"
(source:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964129(v=sql.90).aspx)
The easiest way I've found to filter an xml dataset is to use a dataset filter.  Right click on your dataset, select "Filters" from the left-hand column, and set your column CustomerType=People as your filter.  That will filter the dataset based on an element value for you.

Traveling exhibit: "Witness to the Holocaust"
Please read the Borrower's Information Packet.
William Alexander Scott III, whose father founded one of the first black-owned daily newspaper in the 20th century – The Atlanta Daily World, grew up in Atlanta, attended Morehouse College, and later became the editor of the newspaper. He was also a tireless civil rights activist and WWII photojournalist. In addition to telling Scott's witness testimony, the exhibit also includes panels drawing parallel between the Jim Crow Laws and the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935-1945 implemented in Germany and Nazi-controlled areas of Europe.
The exhibit is based on a permanent exhibit of the same name which is hosted at the Anne Frank in the World: 1929-1945 exhibit in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It was curated by the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust in 1997 and revised in 2012 for the traveling version.
The exhibit consists of 10 free-standing panels measuring 7' by 2'6" each that must be arranged in chronological order according to the number on the reverse side of each panel.

Q: pull content from the month it is such that I have to make my first such real issues.
This is how I would like to pull something out of the database, that is, that as of 2-1-2015 to 2-28-2015 d must check some things out from the database. in the database I set date.
it means that it should just pull out from the månede one is just.
AND TransactionDate > DATEADD("dd", -30, GETDATE())

I've tried this, but it is not so really what I want but nothing like in the still, it just has to be such that it pulls out from the månede as one has come to / are in now.

A: I'm not entirely certain what your question is, but I think it is something to the effect of "find all transactions that occurred this month". If this is correct, then you need to find the start date and end date of the current month and find the transactions between those values.
declare @start date = DATEADD(DAY, (DATEPART(DAY, GETDATE()) * -1) + 1, GETDATE())
declare @end date = DATEADD(DAY, -1, DATEADD(MONTH, 1, @start))

SELECT [your select here] FROM [your table here] WHERE [your where here] AND TransactionDate BETWEEN @start AND @end

Es una estafa. Lo llevan a dar en carro una vuelta por la ciudad y luego lo llevan a un comercio de esmeraldas a ver un mini museo. Uno podría visitar solo sin ningún costo.
This is a nice place to visit to learn some History as to how Emeralds are extracted from the mines of Colombia, how these precious stones compare to other Emerald-producing countries, and why the Colombian Emeralds rate and have rated as the most beautiful on the planet for years on end. They also have in-house working shops, where the visitor can appreciate the elaborate and complex work it takes before the Emeralds can be displayed in store windows for sale... The Sales Manager, Maria Isabel Velazquez truly does a good job explaining what goes on behind stage at this Museum and Factory, not to mention, very nice and kind to visitors...And last but not least, we had the privilege to meet one the owners out of three brothers: Luis Eduardo Diaz whose courtesy and kindness was second-to-none.

Radio and media legend makes $5.3 million gift to Bloomsburg University
Gift will create the Kerby Confer Media Center for students.
Artist's rendering of Kerby Confer Media Center
Bloomsburg University and the Bloomsburg University Foundation proudly announce a $5.3 million gift from Kerby Confer to create a state-of-the-art media center for students aspiring to achieve success in the fields of radio, video, podcasts, live streaming, and other forms of broadcasting. In recognition of the impact this gift will have on the University, BU will name the new facility the Kerby Confer Media Center.
This latest gift from Confer will provide a modern and functional space on BU's campus, which will include a fully renovated radio station, tv studio, newsroom, and interactive space where students and faculty can actively share ideas and experiences. Having more than doubled in size and scope since its inception, the media and journalism program is one of Bloomsburg's largest majors and has outgrown its current space. This gift will address that immediate need while creating new scholarships to help with recruitment and retention of students across the region interested in pursuing careers in the media and journalism industry.
Kerby Confer and BU President Bashar Hanna
"This is an extraordinary gift from Kerby that will help us provide access to value-added experiential learning opportunities for all students," said BU President Bashar W. Hanna. "We talk about what helps BU stand out to prospective students in terms of preparing them for success after graduation, and this is an amazing example of what that looks like as we move forward. I can't thank Kerby enough for his commitment to helping us bring that vision to life."
Since making his first gift to BU in 2013 to establish the Confer Radio Talent Institute, Confer has grown his support each year, continually increasing access to professional experiences for students entering the radio and broadcasting industry. He has made gifts to create scholarships, fund a faculty fellowship, upgrade equipment, and rebrand BU's student radio station. This gift brings his total contributions to more than $6.1 million.
"The evolution of Kerby's involvement here at BU and his commitment to engaging with our students has been immensely valuable to their education," said BU's Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Jim Brown, Ph.D. "For him to take that commitment to an even higher level and provide this type of professional setting in which our students will learn and grow shows how dedicated he is to their success. On behalf of our students and our faculty, I want to thank Kerby for this extraordinary gift."
Kerby Confer began his career in radio at 15, working as a DJ in his hometown of Williamsport, PA. Since 1969, he has owned an interest in or operated more than 200 station licenses and is still active in 70 markets including Altoona, Johnstown, State College, Meadville, Franklin and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as well as, Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Jackson Tennessee. He was inducted into the Pennsylvania Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2003.
"I got started in the radio business when I was 15 years old, hanging around the station and doing any job they would let me do," said Confer. "From becoming an on-air personality to selling advertisements, I had to learn it all. What hasn't changed today is these students will still have to learn all those things to be successful. What has changed is we can make it easier for them to do that by giving them a head start. That's what I want to provide."

Oceanographers in New England ask for new vessel to explore
Originally published April 19, 2018 at 9:10 am Updated April 19, 2018 at 10:38 am
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Oceanographers in New England have asked the National Science Foundation for a new research vessel so members of a research consortium can explore the ocean together.
The foundation is looking for institutions to operate two new research vessels.
The University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts and the University of New Hampshire formed the East Coast Oceanographic Consortium to apply for a vessel.
The application deadline is Thursday.
Twelve other universities and research institutes are associate consortium members. They'll collaborate on research and education initiatives.
URI operates one of the foundation's vessels, the Endeavor. It's 41 years old and scheduled to retire within five years.
Graduate school dean Bruce Corliss said that bringing everyone together creates opportunities for new oceanographic research and educational activities. They'll share ideas and resources, which promotes the science, he added.
Marine science institutions along the East Coast have been discussing the idea of a consortium for several years.
"It's a very broad group of institutions that are interested in oceanography," Corliss said. "That is, I think, going to be the new model."
The University of Southern Mississippi and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium formed a similar partnership to do environmental research together and train the next generation of oceanographers. They're applying together to the foundation for a vessel for the Gulf Coast area.


A node ate my ME System because of a server crash.
PLEASE if anyone finds this outside their nethe portal and the have a good heart return it I will repay them SOO much.
Um, My stuff just disappeared?
So the server I guess crashed a couple minutes ago, and when I had crashed I had put down my digital miner in farm and had set up a quarry right next to it to mine as well. The server crashed, and when I came back on, they were both gone, but the waypoint I had marked them with wasn't. Explanation/Admin wanna refund me?
Ew Lecki puts his menu size on small.
I found a bug that crashes the server. Please message me on here or in game for details.

Q: Socket.io not sending to one socket in a room I'm using socket.io to handle some of the server-client communication and matchmaking for a simple multiplayer game.
(for now) im automatically joining 2 players together by adding them into a socket.io room. When a room has 2 players in it I emit a "startGame" event to the room using socket.to(ROOM).emit(EVENT, EVENT_MSG) after doing a check
server side nodeJS:
game_start_state = checkRooms(socket, freeRooms);
if (game_start_state){
        console.log("told room", game_start_state, "to start their game!")
        socket.to(game_start_state).emit("startGame", game_start_state);
      }

but so far only the first socket that gets connected to the room receives the "startGame" event message, I've looked around and havent seen anyone else with the same problem. Below is the code that is fired after the client emits an event saying it wants to join a room.
server side nodeJS:
function checkRooms(socket, roomArray) {
// auto-matchmaking logic

  if(!roomArray || !roomArray.length){
    //if there is no room with space create a new one
    const room = uuid();
    r_list.push(room);    // r_list is just an array used to keep track of opened rooms for displaying to the user through some html
    freeRooms.push(room); // freeRooms is an array with rooms with just 1 socket connected
    joinRoom(socket, room);
    return(null);

  } else {
    // if there is a room with a space, try to connect the client to it
    const room = freeRooms[0];
    console.log(socket.id, "wants to join", room);
    // connect client to rooms
    joinRoom(socket, room);
    // room is now full so start the game
    freeRooms.pop(room);
    return(room);
  }
}

because for now there is only auto matchmaking, there will only be 1 room in the freeRooms array so I'm not worries about this.
Does anyone know where I could be messing up? Can provide more code examples if necessary.

A: socket.to(room).emit(...)

sends to every member of the room EXCEPT the referenced socket.  You can see that documented here.
If you want to send to everyone in the room, then use:
io.to(room).emit(...)

Fraser supported the RFU Strategic Plan launch event at Twickenham in September 2017 and the service from Raise the Bar and working with Fraser himself was refreshing from the get-go. Fraser's talk was inspirational and humorous, and for someone who has achieved so much at such a young age was incredibly humble with it, and his story really struck a chord with our workforce – demonstrating how ambition alongside innovation and resilience can really get you to where you want to be. I couldn't recommend Fraser enough to deliver at a similar session.


Stage 7 in the Giro d'Italia begins with a descent to continue on pan-flat roads for more than 100 kilometres before the only climb of the day runs to Natural Park Bosco dell Pianelle. Following this modest ascent (4th category) the roads are slightly more undulating, but nothing to worry about. So the safe money is on a sprint showdown.
The Giro d'Italia never visited arrival place Alberobello. Three years ago a stage finished nearby in Bari with Nacer Bouhanni turning out on top.
Two races in this year's Giro boiled down to a bunch sprint. The 2nd stage was won by André Greipel ahead of Roberto Ferrari and Jasper Stuyven, while Fernando Gaviria outsprinted Jakub Mareczko and Sam Bennett in the 5th stage.

STC.UNM is the economic development organization at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We're working on a community project called Innovate ABQ to revitalize downtown Albuquerque and spur economic growth in our city and state. We recently purchased land and buildings in downtown Albuquerque from First Baptist Church so that we and our community partners can build a business incubator. The church and its affiliated day program, Noon Day Ministry, which feeds homeless folks in the area, have relocated to new facilities.
An unusual situation has developed as a result of the purchase of the property that we'd like to do something about it and are asking for your help. We've learned that the day program's volunteer security guard, who lived in the church to prevent vandalism, needs a new home too. His name is Sonny. This crowdfunding project is focused on raising money to help Noon Day buy a used trailer for Sonny so that he can continue his duties at their new facility.
Noon Day Ministry, a nonprofit community program established in 1982 to meet the needs of homeless individuals and families through its feeding program, the largest such program in New Mexico, occupies the Noon Day Center, which is part of the First Baptist Church property recently purchased by STC and located just west of the church building. Noon Day also provides many other service programs for the homeless and relies solely on contributions from the public, businesses, and churches (including First Baptist), and other organizations to fund its operations and programs.
Noon Day also relies on volunteers to staff its many activities and services. Some of those volunteers are also homeless. For approximately two years, Noon Day has relied on a very loyal, disabled homeless client named Sonny as their security person for the buildings on the property. Danny Whatley, Director of Noon Day Ministries, tells us that Sonny has been very good at patrolling the buildings at night, driving off would be vandals, burglars and squatters. "I've instructed him to call me or the police if there's trouble. A few years ago the church had a major break-in and also a fire that did some damage to the building so having Sonny on site at night has really helped us." The church has allowed Sonny to live in a room at the church so that he can make his rounds periodically at night.
Of course, now that ownership of the church has changed hands, Sonny can no longer live at the church and has been living with Mr. Whatley and his family. Considering his disability from a brain injury that has limited his ability to work, Sonny would probably not do well living on his own. "Sonny suffered a brain injury several years ago, is disabled and not had regular employment for many years," Mr. Whatley explained. He has a sister in Alabama but no family here. Sonny and his siblings were adopted out as kids. We'd like for him, and Sonny wants to continue, to be our security person at our new facility. Since we're a day program providing meals and services but not beds for the local homeless population, we need to find accommodations for Sonny."
Noon Day's goal is to purchase a used camper for Sonny to live in at their new facility, which they will be moving into by October or November.

Utah man charged with murder, robbery of Long Beach businesses pleads not guilty
City News Service|July 22, 2019
A Utah man accused of gunning down an off-duty Los
Angeles County sheriff's deputy inside an Alhambra fast-food restaurant an
hour after killing a man in downtown Los Angeles pleaded not guilty today to
double murder, attempted murder and robbery charges.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kevin Stennis ordered Rhett McKenzie
Nelson, 30, to remain jailed without bail and set his next court appearance for
Sept. 2, when a date is expected to be set for a preliminary hearing.
Nelson allegedly shot 50-year-old Deputy Joseph Gilbert Solano early
in the evening of June 10 after killing 31-year-old Dmitry Alekseyevich
Kolstov, an accomplished skateboarder and snowboarder from Russia. He is also
facing two counts of robbery for allegedly carrying out heists at a 7-Eleven
store and a Shell gas station, both in Long Beach, hours after the killings and
attempting to murder a third person the same day.
Solano was at the counter of the Jack in the Box restaurant when he
was shot in the head in what sheriff's officials believe was a random attack.
Sheriff Alex Villanueva has said there was no indication the shooter knew that
Solano — who was off-duty and not in uniform — was a sheriff's deputy.
"The deputy was alerted in the restaurant that someone was following
him, and that's when he turned to confront (the person), and that's when the
shooting happened," Villanueva said in the days after the shooting. "That
much we do know. But the motive, the rationale from the suspect — that's the
million-dollar question."
Kolstov was shot about an hour earlier in the 1900 block of East
Seventh Place, between Santa Fe Avenue and Alameda Street. Friends told the Los
Angeles Times that Kolstov was hopping off a board and with a group of other
skaters when the shooter drove toward them in a Kia Sorento.
Los Angeles police Chief Michel Moore said the shooting was carried
out by a gunman in a white SUV matching the description of Nelson's Sorento,
which was also spotted at the scene of Solano's shooting. Moore said the victim
was standing in the area when the SUV pulled up and there was some type of
verbal exchange, ending with the shooting.
The clerk of the Long Beach 7-Eleven, Jose Salem, told CBS2 that
Nelson used a gun to rob the store and confessed to the killings. Salem said
there were two other customers in the store when Nelson walked in and pulled
out a gun, prompting him to close the cash register.
"He said, 'I just killed two people right now, don't act stupid,'"
Salem said.
The murder charges include special circumstance allegations of
multiple murder and, in connection with Kolstov's shooting, murder by firing
from a motor vehicle, opening Nelson to a possible death sentence.
Following Solano's shooting, a region-wide manhunt began, with
sheriff's officials circulating surveillance photos of the gunman and the Kia
Sorento.
Nelson walked into a Long Beach church the morning after the shooting,
called his father in Utah and talked about carrying out a pair of shootings
in Southern California, authorities said. His father called Long Beach police
to report what his son had said. A short time later, Nelson was seen driving
away from the church, and police took him into custody him without incident
after he pulled the Sorento into the driveway of a home on Granada Avenue.
The hat and maroon shirt the gunman wore during the Jack in the Box
shooting "were clearly visible in the rear seat of his car," and a revolver
"matching the gun used in the assault" was found inside the vehicle when a
search warrant was served, sheriff's Capt. Kent Wegener said following Nelson's
Nelson's family in Utah reported him missing in late May and noted he
has a history of opiate abuse. Nelson had a misdemeanor drug conviction in Salt
Lake City in December 2014, but no other criminal history.
Following his arrest, the sheriff's department released a booking
photo of Nelson, saying investigators believe he "may have been involved in
additional criminal incidents since entering California." They asked anyone
with information was urged to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau or Crime
Stoppers.
Police in San Diego said Nelson is being investigated as a possible
suspect in four armed robberies — and one attempted armed robbery — at
convenience stores in San Diego County. Three of the crimes were in San Diego
and the others were in Lemon Grove and Carlsbad.

Magic Leap concealed the details of its first augmented reality headset, but has finally unveiled some secrets about the coming gadget.
Magic Leap One is not for a wide audience, but for "creators", most likely meaning developers who plan to create content for augmented reality glasses. The release is scheduled for 2018.
Headset is smaller and lighter than Microsoft Hololens, but it has larger covering area. Magic Leap One comes with a mini-computer as big as the palm, but the power is not inferior to gaming PCs, as well as a touch controller with additional control buttons.
However, you can also control the glasses with your own voice, gestures or even visual direction. The device is good for games, online searching, making online purchases, holding virtual meetings, etc.
The user can attach any visible AR object to a specific place in real space, and it does not move or disappear while he wears glasses.
Magic Leap has always carefully concealed its inventions from the public, while receiving impressive investments from large companies like Google and Alibaba. The total volume of investments is reportedly almost $2 billion.

MR. MERCEDES: Breeda Wool on Season 3 – Exclusive Interview
The actress also chats about her new movie MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPERS
By ABBIE BERNSTEIN / Staff Writer
Posted: September 18th, 2019 / 12:29 AM
Breeda Woll in MR. MERCEDES – Season 1 | in MR. MERCEDES – Season 1 | ©2017 AT&T Audience Network
In Season 3 of MR. MERCEDES, adapted from the trilogy of novels by Stephen King, adapted for television by David E. Kelley, and airing Tuesday nights on AT&T's Audience Network, Breeda Wool returns as Lou Linklatter. Lou is in custody after having shot and killed Brady Hartsfield, the notorious "Mr. Mercedes" mass murderer/serial killer, in the Season 2 finale. Lou's friends at the Finders Keepers detective agency, former cop Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) and conscientious Holly Gibney (Justine Lupe), and Lou's lawyer Roland Finkelstein (Brett Gelman), are all trying to help her avoid a first-degree murder sentence. Lou, plagued by either ghostly visitations from Brady or by intense hallucinations, believes public sentiment in her favor may help her beat the rap.
Wool, also a producer and writer, sits down to talk the new season of MR. MERCEDES, along with her new film, MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPERS.
ASSIGNMENT X: When Season 3 of MR. MERCEDES begins, would you say Lou is at her lowest ebb so far?
BREEDA WOOL: Yeah. In the story, Lou makes a choice to put a bullet in Brady Hartsfield's eye [when he's in a courtroom], and that act alone – there is nothing is to say that I didn't have violent fantasies of my own. In Season 1, when Brady kills Ryan Springhill [a homophobic customer who gives Lou problems at the tech store where she and Brady work in Season 1], I say to him then, "I wanted this guy to die." And Brady accomplishes that for me. Like, "my hero" [laughs]. And what is the line that was keeping me from lashing out, from feeling oppressed, forgotten, diminished by my employer's bigotry thrown at me? Where's the line where I lash out? And I lashed out at Brady, because he was the one person that was like me in the story, and he betrays me. He never even gave me the option – I always think in Season 1, when he stabs me, what if he hadn't? What if he'd said, "Help me, Lou"? We don't know what would have happened. But he never gave me that option. He disempowered me. And I took my power back. Brady was asking for it [laughs].
AX: Well, if somebody stabs you with intent to kill, however you respond to them after that is arguably appropriate …
WOOL: Yeah, and I think it was us against the world. That's what we built for ourselves at that sh*tty job, where people treated us like dirt. We knew that we were brilliant, together, and to have that betrayal – David E. Kelley is an incredible writer, and one of my favorite things that he wrote for me as Lou in this story is the line where [she talks about] never really knowing if people's intentions are pure. People want to believe in me in this story when I don't even believe in myself. Were my intentions pure in killing Brady Hartsfield? Was I saving lives? Or did I say, 'This mother*cker stabbed me, and I'm going to blow his brains out"? I don't know. [laughs] That's a very fine line, and David E. Kelley really beautifully explores that.
AX: Of the two, who does Lou trust more or less? Her lawyer Roland Finkelstein, or Bill Hodges?
WOOL: Okay. This is the thing [laughs]. It's a really funny thing, when you've been abandoned or abused, you want to change the ending to that story, but you also expect it to happen, so when you talk about things like trust, when you have a best friend like Brady Hartsfield, and you've been through the foster system, and over and over and over again, people betray you, part of the trauma of violence and betrayal is never knowing how to trust people. And that's part of the paranoia, the nervousness. You want to be able to have people on your team, but you're expecting them to betray you. It's the most horrible part of the cycle of violence, and it's learned helplessness. And so there's a side of me that wants to trust people, and there's a side of me that's going, "I know you're going to screw me over. I know it."
AX: At the start of MR. MERCEDES Season 3, it's presented as ambiguous as to whether Lou is having an actual supernatural experience when she sees/hears Brady, or whether she's hallucinating. You don't need to give the answer as to which it is, but do you know the answer?
WOOL: I do know, but I definitely can't say. [laughs] But in terms of where the gray is on that, what's the difference? When we dream up demons, they arrive. You saw that in the Catholic Church, with the abuses in the Catholic Church. You're terrified that somebody's going to come attack you. They will. They just will. The thing that you're most afraid of and the thing that people run from the most will show up on your doorstep. It always happens. It's sort of like, did you summon it yourself? Or is it really …?
AX: Your film MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPERS has been making the festival rounds. You're in it, and you're also an executive producer and writer on it …
WOOL: The film was outlined and improvised, kind of like a Christopher Guest movie, and Kestrin Pantera, the director of that, is this incredible, brilliant community filmmaker. She sort of builds a community and then makes a film out of the community. Kestrin led Milana Vayntrub, Sam Littlefield, Melanie Hutsell, and we made this extraordinary film about death. It's really funny, and it premiered at South by Southwest, and we had our screening [July 21] at Outfest. It's an extraordinary film. It's beautifully made, and totally gritty, and gorgeous. I love this movie. I executive-produced it, and then Kestrin, because the actors improvised the script, she gave us all a co-writing credit.

AX: Since it was at Outfest, is it reasonable to assume that there's an LGBTQ aspect to it?
WOOL: So it's four siblings go back to help their mother die, and our brother, played by the brilliant Sam Littlefield, is a gay man. In the story, our mother was a very flawed person, and there's a very strong storyline of a gay man and his mother, which is quite a story to be telling [laughs].
AX: Do you have a distributor?
WOOL: Not yet. Soon. If you would like to buy MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPERS, contact ICM.
AX: Besides MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPERS, do you have anything else coming up we should know about?
WOOL: Yes. I am in a couple of episodes of the third season of GLOW, and I'm in one of the upcoming episodes of ROOM 104.
AX: And what would you most like people to know about Season 3 of MR. MERCEDES?
WOOL: I think it might be our best season yet. I personally think that this show is absolutely magnificent, and I am so proud to share it, and I'm so proud for people to see it. I want them to know that it's David E. Kelley and [director/executive producer] Jack Bender at their finest.

This just popped up on /r/edtech, the educational technology community I moderate. And it's amazing.
I can hardly type coherently right now. I'm bowled over. Flummoxed.
I, too, remember the subtle joy of plugging weird functions into a graphing calculator to see what you could come up with. But I never would have imagined turning the graph into a dynamic playing field for a physics-based puzzle game.
There's actual educational value here, too. Each scenario builds upon the previous one to introduce a new way to manipulate a function. For example, the first level only requires you to type in a single constant number to generate a flat, horizontal line. Subsequent levels introduce linear functions, quadratic functions, functions including time variables, and so on.

Clara Gordon Bow (29. juli 1905 − 27. september 1965) var en amerikansk skuespiller.

Hun voksede op i fattigdom i Brooklyn, New York, med en skizofren mor og voldelig far.

Som teenager deltog hun i en skønhedskonkurrence, "The Fame and Fortune Contest", som hun vandt. Den satte gang i hendes filmkarriere, og selvom hendes mor prøvede at slå hende ihjel, da hun forsøgte at komme ind i filmindustrien, blev det til i alt 58 film fra 1922 til 1933.

Produceren B.P. Schulberg tog Clara Bow med sig til Hollywood. Schulberg udnyttede hende både seksuelt og finansielt. Han fik hende til at arbejde hårdere end datidens andre stjerner og betalte hende meget lidt.

Da Clara var mest populær, modtog hun over 45.000 fanbreve om måneden, men da tonefilmen blev introduceret, dalede hendes popularitet grundet hendes markante Brooklyn-arbejderklasse-accent.

Clara Bow var involveret i en del retssager, lige fra ubetalt skat til at have 'stjålet' andre kvinders ægtemænd. Efter at have forsøgt et comeback med filmene Call Her Savage i 1932 og Hoop-La i 1933, giftede hun sig med cowboystjernen Rex Bell og forlod helt filmindustrien i en alder af 26. Med Rex Bell fik hun to sønner, som hun ville gøre alt for, men da hun var mentalt ustabil og skizofren, fik hun ikke lov til at se dem. Det var også hendes psykiske problemer, samt et vægtproblem, der gjorde, at hun aldrig gik ind i showbusiness igen.

Clara Bow døde af et hjerteanfald i Culver City, Californien den 27. september 1965, 60 år gammel.

"Warrior Combat Stress Reset Program" at Fort Hood, whatever that means.
Sounds like an attempt to reduce downtime due to something like post-traumatic stress disorder or perhaps something less severe. Sounds creepy.
There were two shooters, seven dead, and 12 - 20 wounded. One suspect is either "cornered" or in custody, and the other is at large. People in the area are being advised to stay away from their windows. Fort Hood is in lockdown. Their identities are unknown (or maybe just not yet being disclosed, I guess), but both shooters were wearing military fatigues.
Fort Hood's huge. I think it's actually the biggest military base in the U.S. Anyway, it used to be. So there are really too many possibilities to make much of a guess about what happened and/or is happening.
Whatever it is, it's not good, though.
NPR just reported 9 dead; two shooters, one in custody.
12 dead, shooter dead, 2 suspects who may have been shooters held.
They're saying now the shooters were all soldiers.
Has anyone, anywhere, mentioned that it happens to be Guy Fawkes day?
Nordic wrote: They're saying now the shooters were all soldiers.
Wonder if they'll change it later into being a sucessful version of the Fort Dix terror plot?
According to the news here, if I heard right, it is the largest military base in the world.
One gunman was shot to death, and two other soldiers were in custody, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the Army's III Corps, told reporters.
... Obama administration official told NBC News analyst Roger Cressey that one of the suspects who was in custody was an Army major.
Major Malik Hassan apparently one of the shooters.
Terrible story, that, Sweejak. Sad as hell.
Major Malik Nadal Hassan is being reported as an army psychiatrist, from Bethesda, Maryland. Guess you are all watching this two.
Oh, so this is Hasan. Damn. I just caught this on a bunch of my uber-right wing feeds and they're making him out to be a defector to al quaeda (of courseness). They've already got a bunch of his military documentation online and they're parsing that in detail.

Carriera
Inizia la sua carriera motociclistica nel 1995 all'età di 4 anni partecipando a gare di motocross, competizioni a cui prende parte fino al 2001, mentre dal 2004 si cimenta anche nelle corse su pista, partecipando al MiniRoadRace in Canada.

Dal 2007 al 2009 corre il campionato Canadese partecipando contemporaneamente alle classi Superbike e Supersport, ottenendo il secondo posto nella generale in entrambe le categorie l'ultima di queste tre stagioni.

Passa nel 2010 al campionato AMA Superbike dove si piazza nono nella classifica finale con 180 punti. Torna allora in Canada la stagione successiva, e si laurea campione nella categoria Superbike vincendo 6 gare su 7 disputate. Nella stessa stagione disputa l'ultima prova stagionale dell'AMA Superbike Championship dove ottiene undici punti. Sempre nel 2011 esordisce nelle competizioni mondiali correndo le ultime due gare in calendario della Superstock 1000 FIM Cup come wildcard, riuscendo a realizzare con la BMW S1000 RR del team Garnier Alpha Racing piazzamenti in zona punti in entrambe le gare.

Nel 2012 compie il grande salto nel mondiale Superbike in sella alla Ducati 1098R del Liberty Racing - Team Effenbert, ma dopo sole tre gare rimane coinvolto in una brutta caduta, generatasi dal doppiaggio di Carlos Checa sul circuito di Assen, riportando la frattura di due vertebre cervicali.

Q: Swagger validation as NPM Package We have a use-case where we have to manually write and validate the Swagger in OpenAPI spec 2.0 standard. At the moment, we have to use Swagger Editor UI locally to copy and paste the Swagger before checking in our code.
We're looking for an npm package that does it for us which we can potentially use as husky pre-hook for it to raise warnings or errors if there's anything wrong with the Swagger.
To note, the kind of validation we're looking for is as follows:
items not defined under array should raise an error
properties not defined under items should raise an error
and so on.

Lecture Topic: Is It 1939 Yet?
Democracy and Rhetoric
Politics / By Gwynne Dyer
By Gwynne Dyer
"We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy," said Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of of the organisation that calls itself "al-Qaeda in Iraq." Zarqawi is the bogeyman that the US government currently blames for almost everything that has gone wrong in Iraq, but he does speak essentially the same language as President George W. Bush.
For Bush, as for Zarqawi, political principles come from God. In his "God-drenched" inauguration speech (as Ronald Reagan's former speech-writer, Peggy Noonan, described it), President Bush explained that people have inalienable rights because they "bear the image of the Maker of heaven and earth," and that America's mission to spread democracy around the globe comes directly from "the Author of liberty."
Bush recently remarked that he did not see "how you can be president without a relationship with the Lord" — so it is America's duty and right to bring "freedom" to those who still live in darkness, both in order to make itself safe and as a public service: "By our efforts, we have lit…a fire in the hearts of men. It warms those who feel its power, it burns those who fight its progress, and one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world."
Bush speeches are a treasure-trove of innocent fun. His speech-writers took the quote about having "lit a fire in the hearts of men" from Fyodor Dostoevsky, presumably not realising that they were quoting a bunch of terrorists who featured in his novel "The Devils," and the "dark corners of the world" phrase pops up in every second Bush speech.
The problem is that George W. Bush's belief that Americans basically own the copyright on democracy is widely shared even by Americans who deplore his actions. "Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals," he said in his inauguration speech, and most Americans would probably agree that the United States is not just the "home of the free;" it is the main source of freedom in the world. The US crusade for freedom (aka democracy) is justified, even if it requires cluster-bombs and Guantanamo Bays, because otherwise there will be no freedom.
That is their fundamental mistake. The United States was the first mass democracy in history, but the "Founding Fathers" who carried out that revolution were the heirs of the European enlightenment and of over a hundred years of radical egalitarian thought in England: it was the English Levellers who first declared in 1647 that "all government is in the free consent of the people." And only twelve years after the American Revolution, a far more radical revolution broke out in what was then the biggest nation of the West, France.
America's democratic revolution had a huge impact on the world, but it was both less, and less indispensable, than most Americans suppose. Democracy was on its way anyway: to European countries first of all (maybe because practically everywhere else was under European imperial rule), but in due course even to the "dark corners of the world." We are living through the final wave of that process in this generation, with non-violent democratic revolutions from Bangkok, Dhaka and Seoul to Berlin, Moscow and Johannesburg, and on to Jakarta, Tbilisi and Kiev. Few of them had American help.
This notion that the United States should "seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world," as President Bush put it in his inaugural speech, is profoundly misleading, because it suggests that American support for such transformations is essential. It isn't even relevant, in most cases. People have to do it for themselves, and the most helpful thing that Washington could do would be to stop supporting the oppressors.
Most of the world's countries already are democratic, and the exceptions are mainly in the Middle East and Africa, the two regions world where Western military interventions have been most frequent since the end of the colonial era. Indeed, it's striking that within the Middle East, the primary focus of American anxieties about terrorism, the Islamist terrorists come overwhelmingly from countries that have close links with Washington — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and now Iraq — and not from places like Syria, Libya and Sudan. This is hardly an argument for further US military interventions.
"Liberty" and "freedom" (words President Bush used 42 times in his speech), are American catch-phrases for what other people call democracy: freedom under the law, and under the presumption that we are all equal before the law. That is the great revolution that has swept over the world in the past couple of centuries, and it is not an American gift to mankind. It's not necessarily God's gift either, unless you are religious. It's just who we are.
Which is why, in an opinion poll carried out in fifteen of the biggest democratic countries in the week of Bush's inauguration, 58 percent of the 22,000 people polled said that they expected his reelection to have a negative impact on peace and security, as compared to only 26 percent who thought it would be positive. In Canada, Britain, Australia and South Africa, France, Germany, Italy and Russia, Mexico, Brazil, China, Indonesia and Japan, the story was the same: deep distrust for the Bush administration's policies and motives.
Mind you, 47 percent of Americans have the same response.
To shorten to 725 words, omit paragraphs 3 and 4. ("Bush recently…Bush speech")

Diamond Miners Sue Lukoil for $1.2 Billion
Jonny Bonner / January 11, 2012
DENVER (CN) - A Colorado-based mining business claims that Russia's largest oil company, Lukoil, rolled it for $1.2 billion in diamond profits and forced it to "bleed" into bankruptcy.
Archangel Diamond Corporation Liquidating Trust, assignee of the Archangel Diamond Corporation, claims that OAO Lukoil withheld its 40 percent share of diamond licenses procured by Arkhangelskgeoldobycha, or ADG, in northern Russia.
In its RICO complaint, Archangel Diamond says it teamed up with AGD in 1993. Archangel Diamond agreed to finance the exploration and development of diamond fields for which AGD was bidding, and AGD was to transfer the field licenses to a jointly owned company.
But Archangel says AGD never honored the contract.
Archangel moved from Canada to Colorado in 1997, and Lukoil, "Russia's largest oil company and one of Russia's most powerful economic entities," took over AGD in 1998, according to the complaint.
Lukoil then schemed - through mail and wire fraud, money laundering, and violations of the Travel Act - "to deceive ADC [Archangel Diamond Corp.] into believing that the agreement would be honored and the diamond license transferred to the joint venture company, when it never intended to do so," Archangel says.
"[R]ather, after obtaining as much investment as it could, Lukoil intended to bleed ADC into bankruptcy and to cause it to lose its contractual rights and investment."
As a result of the torpedoed agreement, Archangel "was forced into bankruptcy in 2010 and lost the value of its over $30 million investment as well as over $400 million in profits which it would earn through its 40 percent share of the joint venture, plus up to $800 million in lost profits which may be generated by other diamond pipes potentially located within the scope of the diamond license," according to the complaint.
Archangel relocated to Toronto in 2002 and united with DeBeers, the giant diamond syndicate, to pursue claims against Lukoil.
It filed a lawsuit against the oil giant in state court in 2001, which was removed to federal court in 2002. The new action was filed pursuant to Colorado's savings statute, as no discovery had been made in the past 10 years.
Archangel seeks $3.6 billion in compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and costs for RICO fraud, racketeering and unjust enrichment.
It is represented by Bruce Marks with Marks & Sokolov of Philadelphia, and Harold Bruno with Robinson, Waters & O'Dorisio, of Denver.

Will Sheff (Okkervil River) Talks THEESatisfaction's EarthEE
THEESatisfaction's message is simple: music is fun, we are awesome, a beat is good, weed is great, we love each other and you're invited, too.
By Will Sheff | February 25, 2015
Will Sheff is the bandleader of Okkervil River, whose latest album is The Silver Gymnasium. His criticism and fiction have been published in McSweeney's, Gawker, Magnet and the Austin Chronicle. Follow him on Twitter here.
music commentary
THEESatisfaction
THEESatisfaction is the duo of Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White, who go by Stas and Cat. The two were attending separate Seattle colleges in the late 2000s when they met at an open mic. Stas, a poet and spoken-word performer, heard Cat singing and fell in love with her voice. She worked up the courage to talk to her and the two became friends, then started dating, and then started making music together. They self-produced and self-released several EPs on Bandcamp, catching the attention of Ishmael Butler, the ex-Digable Planets frontman who had re-branded himself as Palaceer Lazaro and was in the process of recording Black Up (2011), the brilliant debut full-length of his new group Shabazz Palaces. Black Up was released by Sub-Pop, who subsequently signed THEESatisfaction and released their debut LP awE naturalE (2012).
awE naturalE shared some of the same qualities as Black Up — it had a similarly off-kilter rhythmic sensibility and its instrumentation felt like it owed as much to electronic music and jazz as it did to hip-hop, but it wasn't as dense as Black Up and felt a bit friendlier. There was something uniquely appealing about the blend of these two women's voices — vocally, they were both in a similar, deeper end of the register, so they didn't stack up on top of each other so much as rub against each other comfortably; it often felt like Stas' rapping would come in and finish up the thought that Cat was singing, or vice versa. The blend of earthier organic instrumentation, like piano and mbira, with weird delays and reverbs that obviously came from a computer created this acoustic/electronic dreamspace that didn't feel quite real but didn't feel quite fake either, like a little bubble universe just on the other side of your speaker, created for these two women to inhabit. Every now and then, like some friendly neighbor, Palaceer Lazaro would drop into this universe to pay them a visit, say some stuff, and then dematerialize for awhile, and then Cat and Stas would sing and rap and sing-rap about feminism, about positivity, about transcendence, about ecology, about sexuality, about mythology, all of it passed through a hazy, stoned Afro-futurist filter, clearing out space in their own corner of the same multiverse Sun Ra came from and returned to.
EarthEE, their follow-up record, doesn't feel like a departure from that universe so much as a subtle expansion of it. The arrangements here are tighter and some of the hooks feel like they're delivered with a more focused confidence, especially the title track's ascending synth blips and the wonderful half-time slowed-down cycling vocal background in "Fetch/Catch." The textures here are slightly less organic and more based around warm sawtooth synth lines, which imparts even more of a cosmic vintage spaced-out buzz to everything.
awE naturalE caught me off guard. It wasn't something I was expecting, this cool, off-the-cuff, feminist electro-jazz r&b admixture, and it felt unpredictable and exciting. Sometimes Cat and Stas wouldn't even sing or rap at all — you'd wait for them to come in and instead you'd just spend a little time in some pretty, miniature, uninhabited instrumental landscape. Or they'd come in and just sing "zero, one, one, zero, zero, one, zero, zero, one" for a little while. Maybe it's something with the follow-up itself or possibly it's just me, but EarthEE didn't quite give me the same thrill. I think it's because my brain has developed THEESatisfaction receptors now; those receptors know how to process what's hitting them, and it's pleasant but it's not quite as intoxicating as Cat and Stas's previous voyage into my brain, when they first bound those proteins and neurotransmitters together. I somewhat miss the ever so slightly more casual feel of awE naturalE, the "zero, zero, one" songs that felt more like dashed-out sketches. And some of THEESatisfaction's melodies can feel repetitive and somewhat restricted in range, which I mind a little bit more this time than I did before. But these are the complaints of a spoiled fan and, as a musician, I hate it when fans do this to me, when they vaguely expect me to be some magical combination of different and the same that they can't even properly articulate, when they privilege novelty over refinement, when they think inexperience is exciting and mastery is boring. So forget I said that, maybe? Because actually I really enjoy this record, maybe not in the way that you enjoy meeting a new friend in a whirlwind night out, but more like the way you enjoy catching up with that friend a couple of years later, when they are even more themselves.
One of the things I find most interesting about THEESatisfaction is their overwhelming focus on positivity. There is a very strong sense, on both awE naturalE and EarthEE, of music and words actually being able to change things, both in a kind of naïve way and in simply a practical way — the way music can change one single person, or a small group of people or a community of fans. THEESatisfaction's lack of cynicism and the cosmic scope of their subject matter are both deeply appealing to me right now, when so much of hip-hop feels solipsistic or even narcissistic, when so much indie-rock feels like a cynical, tastefully curated blending of past influences, when so much electronic music feels empty and air-headed, when jazz is something a lot of people don't actually listen to. It's cool to know that Cat and Stas retain an old-fashioned belief in music's power to do so much, to be so many things. But an occasional problem with this approach is that, in practice, it is incredibly tricky to say something positive and edifying and cosmic and political and not have the audience feel like you're either orbiting miles above their heads or lecturing them to eat their vegetables. When I sense that music has a message, even a message I wholeheartedly agree with, I find myself getting antsy. I think for that reason my favorite EarthEE passages are the ones in which playfulness or pleasure or swagger or humor creep in, when I forget that they're from outer space and start accidentally thinking they're from Seattle. At moments like that, the message becomes simpler: music is fun, we are awesome, a beat is good, weed is great, we love each other and you're invited, too. And then the bubble universe lowers down closer to my eye level, glitters and twinkles in front of me, and it looks so nice.
