This paper draws on the autobiographical work of bande dessinée artists Fabrice Neaud, Julie Doucet and Jean-Christophe Menu with the aim of investigating the potential of the medium to disturb the normative visual order of heterocentricity and phallocracy. The paper discusses Neaud's exploration of the isolations, separations and segregations which produce and constrict the orderings and disorderings of a gayed male body in social space(s), together with his theorisation of the social politics of self and other. It considers in particular the trope of the insult, drawing on Didier Eribon's work on the insult as constitutive of gay identity. The work of the Québecoise artist Julie Doucet is discussed in relation to her refusal of the disembodied speaking voice that has often characterized male autobiographies, and her occupation of the terrain which Kristeva has called the 'abject', through her exuberant portrayal of bodily fluids. In contrast, Jean-Christophe Menu seems to resist narrative embodiment, making copious use of voiceover and distancing the body of his diegetic self from the rationality of the narrative 'I' through his disguise as a cartoon character, while the body of his wife is repeatedly represented. It is argued, however, that an apparently phallocratic occupation of socio-sexual terrain is ultimately called into question in Menu's work. The article concludes that bande dessinée has complex resources for contesting the construction of masculinity and femininity and for giving form to the autobiographical 'I'.

Any attempts to advocate Hong Kong separatism amount to destroying the "One Country, Two Systems" principle and will lead the city on the path to ruin, a top mainland official warned.
Li Fei, chairman of the Basic Law Committee, which deals with issues related to Hong Kong's mini-constitution, said people who call for Hong Kong independence should realize that they are not doing the community any good.
In an interview with the pro-Beijing Bauhinia Magazine, Li said "One Country" comes before "Two Systems", and that the two elements are not on an equal footing.
"If the one country criterion does not apply, there is no place for two systems," he argued.
Hongkongers must have faith in "One Country, Two Systems", Li said, stressing that the framework is a fundamental national policy and not just a temporary makeshift strategy.
He insisted that there will be no changes to the governing principle as it has comprehensive public support and has become a tried and tested system, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reports.
In the interview published in a special edition of Bauhinia to mark 20 years of Chinese sovereignty over Hong Kong, Li said it is not right to attribute all the frustrations of young people to one single issue — lack of direct elections for their chief executive.
Li said he believes economic and livelihood issues are the root of the problems, and that they can be resolved only through further development of the city.
Promoting democracy alone will not help, Li added.
In other comments, Li said the National People's Committee has been adopting a cautious approach with regard to interpreting Hong Kong's Basic Law.
Li went on to say that Hong Kong courts' rights to interpret the Basic Law were assigned by the NPC. Hence, it is a pseudo-proposition to suggest that NPC's interpretation of laws represents intervention in the judiciary independence in Hong Kong.
It is impossible for an assignee to limit the power of the assignor, the Basic Law Committee chief said.
Responding to Li's comments, Civic Party leader and lawmaker Alvin Yeung Ngok-kiu said Li himself has been putting out a pseudo-proposition with his accusations on the legal sector in Hong Kong.
Yeung said the NPC should refrain from using its power as Hongkongers were promised a high degree of autonomy under the city's mini-constitution.
The lawmaker accused the central government of not following the agreed protocols with regard to law interpretation over the years.

Colin Kaepernick Signs Deal With Disney/ESPN To Make Docu-Series About His Own Life, Social Justice Films
By Emily Zanotti
Jul 6, 2020 DailyWire.com

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has found himself suddenly in demand again, and the racial justice activist announced Monday that he'd inked a first-look deal with The Walt Disney Company and ESPN to produce "scripted and unscripted stories that deal with race, social injustice and the quest for equity," including a documentary series about his own life, per Variety.
Kaepernick, who left the National Football League in 2017 after turning down a one-year contract with the 49ers, has signed several lucrative deals of late, beginning with a multi-year agreement, multi-million dollar contract with Nike. He also recently inked a deal with Netflix for another autobiographical project, "Colin in Black & White," which, the streaming network says, will "examine Kaepernick's high school years to illuminate the experiences that shaped his advocacy."
Critically acclaimed director Ava DuVernay has signed on to help handle that six-episode series, which will reportedly debut later this year.
The new Disney/ESPN projects, part of a long-term partnership between the network and Kaepernick's Ra Vision Media production company, will have a focus on social justice and will fall largely under ESPN's "The Undefeated" venue, which "focuses on matters of race in sports," but could involve collaborations between Kaepernick and other Disney media properties, like animation studio Pixar and streaming network Hulu.
The partnership will "elevate important stories of lives too often unseen and to deliver them to a vast audience across The Walt Disney Company," the senior vice president of ESPN's The Undefeated said in a statement. We want to continue to call attention to the issues of racial injustice that America is wrestling with, and do that in new, compelling ways."
"I am excited to announce this historic partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives," Kaepernick said Monday, according to Variety. "I look forward to sharing the docuseries on my life story, in addition to many other culturally impactful projects we are developing."
The project will include input from Jemele Hill, a fellow racial justice advocate and former ESPN employee who was terminated from the network following comments she made about President Donald Trump — and the network's decision to scale back on political content.
"The new series will utilize new interviews as well as never-seen-before archival material that documents the most recent years of Kapernick's life," Variety reports. "The athlete has enlisted Jemele Hill, the journalist who previously worked for both ESPN and The Undefeated, as a producer on the project."
This docu-series, in contrast to the Netflix docu-series, will focus on Kaepernick's decision to initiate an anti-racism protest in 2016, which involved him kneeling during the NFL's patriotic pre-game festivities, including the national anthem. The protest eventually took root across the NFL, triggering a nationwide outcry. Kaepernick became a free agent in 2017 but went unsigned after turning down a short contract extension with the 49ers.
After several failed attempts to return to the NFL, Kaepernick became a full-time activist, and, following the death of George Floyd while in the custody of the Minneapolis police, returned to national prominence as a leading voice of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Brain (1988)
Posted on February 13, 2022 by Raggedyman
Have you ever wondered what a low-budget Canadian version of Videodrome crossed with Strange Behavior and a teen drama would be like? No, me neither. But, importantly, thanks to Ed Hunt's 1988 efforts I can assure you that it has several good moments and far too many stairwells.
The film starts as it means to go on; throwing around some creepy monster and dream effects and hoping that it all being about someone on the telly trying to control people's minds will cover up its shortcomings. The person doing the controlling is Dr. Anthony Blakely, played by the always sinister David Gale. The person who'll be resisting that control for our viewing pleasure is Jim (Jim Majelewski), and he's an absolute arse who thanks' he's the Rebel Without A Cause. He has a girlfriend called Janet (Cynthia Preston) and for the life of me I can't work out what she did wrong to be with him.
"I'm not angry, just disappointed"
In short order, we find out that the Doctor is broadcasting a TV show that causes some people to wildly and violently hallucinate, resulting in several deaths, that he runs the wonderfully titled Psychological Research Institute, and that he is being controlled by a space brain monster. We also discover that it's where Jim has been sent by his parents to find out just what the hell is wrong with him, and if they knew about the mind-eating ET and sent him any way you wouldn't blame him. We get another blast of hallucinations, this time featuring Christine Kossak's breasts because you are contractually obligated to provide boobs in these movies, and then we're on to wild adventures of Escaping The Controlled and then Destroying The Controller.
"Officer, what the fuck did you just say about my cravat?"
This middle section is, for the most part, quite good. There are some amazing-for-their-budget nightmare sequences, there is a lovely bit of acting when get to see someone witnessing someone else having these hallucinations, and it's a steady build-up of threat, tension, and pretty cohesive story points. There is also The Brain's human goon (George Buza) going some delightful Hospital Orderly Thuggery, a number of literal signposts as to what will happen in act 3, and The Brain getting bigger, nastier, and more powerful.
What all the cool kids are eating these days
All this means that act 3 is that bit more disappointing when it starts faffing around, showing us people running back-and-forth through the sets (especially in the utterly-not-interesting stairwells) and having the single most disappointing car chase in history. Eventually, it picks up, and then the last 10 minutes are a rollercoaster of monster carnage, sweet revenge, and overacting.
CHOO!!!CHOO!!!CHOOOOOOOO!!!!!
When it's good, it's pretty damn good. No one is a terrible actor, the production values are consistent, the special effects are just the right side of hocky to pass muster, and it's mostly got good pacing. When it's bad, it's a little bit too "on the nose" with its social commentary (for example, the Doctor's TV show is called Independent Thinking), and it just burns time on nothingness. I know I say it a lot, but you could cut 10 minutes out of this and no one would notice as it's just people continuing to travel from place to place.
"…I didn't put my dick in that!"
So, why does this get classed as Treasure? Well, firstly because it's incredibly 80s and that gives it a certain charm and a lot of forgiveness. Secondly, it really does try and go something interesting and exciting. Okay, it doesn't land that well and some of it comes across as trite; but at least it gives a solid swing at trying to be that little bit more than it is. And, thirdly, when it's focusing on the hallucinations and the steadily growing Brain, it works pretty damn well. There's also a number of quality weird science sets and props, which really add to the "50s B-Movie, made in the 80s" feel of it.
Yes, it has got slow bits. And, Yes, it has got a number of no-brainer bits. And, let's be honest, some of that 80s factor involves some absolutely misogynistic thinking that will make you go "wow… I'm so glad we're not quite that bad any longer…". But it also has people being eaten alive by a demonic Thomas The Tank Engine look-a-like, a tongue coming out of a steering block, and a lazy Sunday morning domestic homicide that just breathtakingly tone perfect. So, if you can worth through the bad bits then it's absolutely worth an honest watch.
This film has a warning at the end of the film about throwing sodium into water, but it was too late! I'm sorry, The Brain, I must now replicate what I saw!!

Име́льда Мэ́ри Ха́йам (, известная как Имельда Мэй, и до замужества Имельда Клэбби; р. 10 июля 1974, Дублин, Ирландия) — ирландская певица и музыкант. Начала свою карьеру в 16 лет и выпустила дебютный альбом в 2005 году. Также играет на боуране.

Биография

Имельда Хайам родилась 10 июля 1974 года в Дублине, Ирландия. Была младшей из пяти детей в семье. На вопросы о музыкальных вкусах в детстве, она отвечала: «Мой брат был фанатом Элвиса Пресли, и однажды в его комнате я нашла кассету с записями Элвиса, Эдди Кокрана и Джина Винсента. Эта музыка была потрясающей!».

В девять лет Имельда влюбилась в рокабилли и блюз, подпевая Элвису, Элмору Джеймсу, а затем и Билли Холидей. После года обучения в художественной школе Имельда решила, что лучше будет зарабатывать на жизнь пением. В возрасте четырнадцати лет, через местных друзей, Мэй записала песню в рекламе рыбных палочек Findus. Тем не менее, карьера Имельды началась в шестнадцать лет, когда она начала концертировать в клубах Дублина. Девушка стала петь в свинг-группе Blue Harlem. «Мне давали советы лучшие музыканты Дублина. Один из них сказал — "У тебя потрясающий голос, но ты должна сделать его грубее, шероховатее"». Примерно в это же время на концерте Имельде сказал отец: «Твоё сердце разбито? Отлично. Теперь ты можешь петь блюз». Этот момент рассматривается самой певицей как поворотный момент в жизни, с тех пор её голос стал более глубоким и насыщенным.

Личная жизнь
Была замужем за известным исполнителем рокабилли, виртуозным гитаристом и участником её группы Дэррелом Хайамом, который оказал на Имельду большое влияние своим творчеством. Пара поженилась в 1998 году. В феврале 2012 года было объявлено о беременности певицы, а 23 августа 2012 года Имельда Мэй родила дочь, Вайолет Кэтлин Хайам.
Мэй и Хайам объявили о разводе 17 июля 2015 года, и Хайам также решил покинуть группу, чтобы сосредоточиться на сольной карьере.

Cardone, also known as Cardoon, is a traditional Mediterranean vegetable considered a delicacy by many who specialize in traditional French and Italian cuisine. A cousin of the artichoke, the cardone has an edible stalk like celery; however, it is not eaten raw.
The best cardone stalks are a grey-green color.
Stalks should feel heavy and moist. They will not be crisp like celery.
Place cardone in the crisper section of your refrigerator wrapped in plastic for about five to seven days. Cut them in half for easier storage.
Ocean Mist Farms trims the outer stalks in the field, so you may notice slight discoloration on the outside and the ends of the stalk. Leaves should be soft and pale, grey-green in color.
Rinse the stalks well, trim the ends and remove strings from the big stalks. Remove any small leaves that run up the center of the stalks.
Cardone is an Italian favorite, which we grow in two California regions, Castroville and Coachella. We take pride in growing cardone that is extremely tender with a robust flavor. Ocean Mist Farms cardone is among the finest examples of the vegetable anywhere in the world and is anticipated by home cooks and professional chefs alike.
The cardone stalk is hand-harvested from the plant and packed and cooled within four hours. Our strict cut-to-cool standards ensure quality product is delivered to your store.


The next time you drive down the Mumbai-Pune expressway, make sure everyone in the car is buckled up. The Highway Safety Patrol (HSP) is enforcing a little-known rule that makes it mandatory for everyone in the car—including those in the back seat—to wear seatbelts. The Times of India reports that the cops have fined at least 50 persons every day over the past two weeks for not wearing seatbelts.
The special drive has been kicked off by Rashmi Shukla, Deputy Inspector General of Police. A month ago, cops started cautioning drivers on the expressway. Then, two weeks ago, they started pulling vehicles over. The fine for travelling without a seatbelt is Rs.200 per offender. This means that your merry party of four could end up coughing Rs400 if those in the backseat are not wearing seatbelts.
It should be no surprise that failing to wear a seatbelt has led to many fatal injuries and death. The NGO SaveLIFE Foundation collected data and reported that as many as 23 people have died in accidents on the expressway between January to July, possibly because they were not wearing seatbelts. Of, 16 were passengers in the backseat who were involved in high-speed crashes.
But there are challenges. For five-seater cars, there are only two seat belts in the rear, so the person sitting in the middle will not be able to wear one. Plus, some of the older vehicles do not have seatbelts in the back seats. Regardless, every person belted up is potentially one person saved.
So buckle up, or the long arm of the law will get you.

The customer service with Liquid Web is greatly enhanced with a team of informed and knowledgeable individuals. These people have no hesitation in assisting anyone who reaches out to them for help or to register a complaint. They offer contact through chat, phone, and several other mediums.
As mentioned above, not every humble-startup can make use of Liquid Web's excellent web hosting services. Since the service is at such a high level, one has to be prepared to pay the price. The cost of Liquid Web's hosting packages may not be so much for large corporations. However, individuals starting their own business, new start-ups, and struggling local businesses are usually not able to shell out such a large amount right away.
The high expense of Liquid Web means that small businesses wouldn't have any room for expansion trough this means. This is quite a pity, since more and more customers are now looking towards local businesses in order to purchase responsibly. Expensive web hosting services hence only encourage the cold corporate culture instead of fostering a welcoming environment for smaller competitors.
Compared to other web hosting services, Liquid Web is hence one of the most expensive options to go for. The prices difference can be huge, with basic severs offered at less than five dollars each.
One of the reasons why Liquid Web Hosting is so expensive is that it doesn't allow for shared hosting services. Along with other advantages, this option would have made this particular service quite a bit cheaper. There are several other reliable web hosting services online which have more affordable packages along with shared hosting options.
With Liquid Web, one gets WordPress web hosting at no less than three tiers. This would start at $119 on a monthly basis. The client company would get a whopping five terabytes of data transfers along with a hundred gigabytes of solid-state drive. They would also have ten domains to host their site on.
Option to create your own theme or apply one you purchased from another place.
Liquid Web's cloud hosting is nothing to sneeze at. This kind of hosting is getting more and more necessary in these modern times, since it means that the site's resources are spread across many different servers. What this means is that no one server is overloaded with work.
Again, there are several tiers to cloud hosting when it comes to Liquid Web. You can choose from Private loud, Public Cloud, and Dedicated Cloud. There is also the option of using this web hosting service on a Windows or Linux operating systems. One can start off with a basic and cheaper server and upgrade to a new one as they expand their business operations.
There a lot to be said for a strong website and Liquid Web's dedicated servers are among the best choices. There are several configurations to choose from here, so a company can pick and choose according to their needs and budget. A startup, providing it has the finances to do so, can begin with the basic package. This consists of a single-processor server that contains sixteen GB of RAM. This starts at $199 a month.
If the company gets more established, they can upgrade to higher configurations. The maximum here is a dual-core processor with 32GB RAM. This is a high-end option and its cost starts with $599 a month.
Dedicated servers could cost quite a bundle. Hence, a company can also opt for simple VPS Web Hosting by Liquid Web. One of the unique offers by Liquid Web with regards to this product is that it charges only for the days that the servers are actually used. This cuts down on costs and also makes cancellation simple.
The most basic VPS plan begins at $59 a month and gets you 2GB RAM, 5TB data transfers, 40GB solid-state storage, and email without limits. The most high-end offer begins at $219 a month. This can give a company 1.6TV storage, 256GB RAM, and a choice between Linux and Windows servers. One can also opt for customizing their own server.
A company may offer web hosting themselves, but still opt for Liquid Web as a way to get the benefit of their great products. Plus, hosting with Liquid Web means no messing around with servers, handling bandwidth issues, and any matters relating to infrastructure. There are hence several reseller packages especially constructed for companies like this.
The plans for reseller packages usually cost $59 a month and upwards. This comes with an exclusive plug-in called the WebHost Manager Complete Solution. It also has instant provisioning. Both dedicated and VPS packages of the reseller variety are available in Linux and Windows formats. These paces are equipped with the same amount of RAM, data transfers limit, storage, etc, that are in the regular packages. However, there are no shared packages of the reseller kind either.
When one gets a reseller package from Liquid Web, they have permission to apply whatever branding they choose for the rented servers. In addition to this, there's also tech support provided around the clock.
With all the services outlined above, it's no surprise that Liquid Web is one of the most trusted web hosting services available today. There are several reasons for this, but not everything is perfect, especially when it comes to online services. While this company has a variety of VPS (Virtual Private Servers) and flexible packages, not every company can make use of them.
Those who can afford Liquid Web servers, however, should definitely go for it. There is a huge variety of services on offer, and the packages are generous and up-to-date. Investing in such a service could greatly sharpen the website performance of many companies.

Q: Spring not detecting @Scheduled Methods I am running Spring 3.2.3.RELEASE and I have several methods within @Service decorated classes that are Scheduled tasks and thus decorated with the @Scheduled annotation.
All the Spring beans are detected and instantiated within the container, however the @Scheduled annotations are never invoked.
I have several application contexts, but the main file is described below as follows:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
    xmlns:task="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task http://www.springframework.org/schema/task/spring-task-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">

    <import resource="classpath:core-properties.xml" />
    <import resource="classpath:core-datasource.xml" />
    <import resource="classpath:core-task-scheduler.xml" />

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.atlaschase.project.core">
        <context:exclude-filter type="regex"
            expression="com.atlaschase.project.core.services.jms.*" />
        <context:exclude-filter type="regex"
            expression="com.atlaschase.project.core.services.processor.*" />
        <context:exclude-filter type="regex"
            expression="com.atlaschase.project.core.services.remote.*" />
        <context:exclude-filter type="regex"
            expression="com.atlaschase.project.core.bootstrap.populators.*" />
    </context:component-scan>

    <bean id="bufferPopulator" class="com.atlaschase.project.core.services.jms.buffer.BufferPopulator"/>

    <bean id="eventBuffer" class="com.atlaschase.project.core.services.jms.buffer.EventBuffer"/>

    <bean id="processorEventHandler" class="com.atlaschase.project.core.services.jms.buffer.ProcessorEventHandler"/>

The other important file is imported as "core-task-scheduler.xml". This is configured as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
    xmlns:task="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/task http://www.springframework.org/schema/task/spring-task-3.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <task:annotation-driven executor="myExecutor" scheduler="myScheduler"/>

    <task:executor id="myExecutor" pool-size="1"/>

    <task:scheduler id="myScheduler" pool-size="5"/>

</beans>

Originally, the executor reference (above) was defined in the main application context, but I split this out as an import after reading that other similar problems had been solved in this way. Unfortunately this has not helped. I have also moved the import declarations around, but this seems to have no effect.
Declaring Scheduled methods in the Spring Application Context directly works fine - however I am very keen to use annotations.
Here is the annotated class:
**
 * Service that batches the saving of position updates into a periodically executed
 * process.
 */
@Service
public class PositionAggregatorService {

    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AircraftPositionAggregatorService.class);

    // The service will not execute within 1 minute of a previous batch attempt.
    // This paramater is updated by a message from another node indicating that
    // they are commencing a batch save of position updates.
    private DateTime blockingTime;

    private Map<Long, List<Position>> positions;

    @Autowired
    private PositionDao positionDao;

    @Autowired
    private InternalPublisher internalEventPublisher;

    @PostConstruct
    private void initialise(){
        positions = new ConcurrentHashMap<Long, List<Position>>();
    }

    /*
     * Scheduled to execute every 10 minutes as long current time is not
     * before the blocking time threshold.
     *
     * */
    @Scheduled(fixedRate=6000)
    public void batchSavePositionUpdates(){

        if(blockingTime != null){
            if(DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.UTC).isBefore(blockingTime)){
                return;
            }
        }

        PositionPersistStartedNotification started = new PositionPersistStartedNotification(DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.UTC), DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.UTC).plusMinutes(2));
        internalEventPublisher.publishPositionPersistStartedNotification(started);

        DateTime mostRecentUpdateTime = null;

        List<Position> positionsToSave = new ArrayList<Position>();

        for(Long flightId : positions.keySet()){

            List<Position> positionList = positions.get(flightId);

            for(Position position : positionList){
                if(mostRecentUpdateTime == null){
                    mostRecentUpdateTime = new DateTime(position.getTime());
                }
                else{
                    DateTime positionTime = new DateTime(position.getTime());
                    if(positionTime.isAfter(mostRecentUpdateTime)){
                        mostRecentUpdateTime = positionTime;
                    }
                }
                positionsToSave.add(position);
            }
        }

        Boolean successfulSave = false;

        try{
            positionDao.save(positionsToSave);
            successfulSave = true;
            logger.info(positionsToSave.size() + " Position Updates saved successfully");
        }catch(Exception exception){
            logger.error("Failed to persist latest position updates to database");
            logger.error(exception);
        }

        if(successfulSave){
            removeSavedPositions(mostRecentUpdateTime);
            PositionPersistEndedNotification ended = new PositionPersistEndedNotification(DateTime.now(DateTimeZone.UTC), mostRecentUpdateTime);
            internalEventPublisher.publishPositionPersistEndedNotification(ended);
        }

    }
}

Any help would be appreciated.

A: Is the Spring context loaded successfully in runtime? I see you have some inconsistencies in namespace definitions where various versions co-exist in the xsd (3.0 and 3.2). Can you try having consistently the same version in these namespaces and try again?

A: The application was being started by listening for the context to be loaded and then executing a method upon the ContextRefreshedEvent.
When I removed this ApplicationEventListener from the application and simply invoked a public method on the bean to start the service (instead of relying in the ApplicationEventListener) - the application then started normally with all @Scheduled annotations working as expected.

These new languages are getting lots of traction. Likewise it's an interesting (and somewhat puzzling) situation with the CLR. Pretty much anyone working on the CLR is working on C#. Oh there are other languages on the CLR but they have nowhere near the level of interest or penetration of either Clojure or Elixir respectively.
So I've been giving a little more time and attention to both Scala and Vagrant. Vagrant is a nice way to manage development environments via the use of VM's and Scala, of course, is a great hybrid of OO and FP. One of the things I've done is to start working on a provisioning script for Vagrant so I can always get myself a development environment with Scala without much trouble. So here's the steps I follow.
2.) Get Virtual Box (or some other VM management tool).
3.) Install both of those packages on your development machine.
4.) Create a new development directory on your dev machine.
5.) Run vagrant init <boxname> <box definition> in the development directory. You can find more detail on this command here and you can find a great list of base box definitions here.
7.) Add the following provision.sh file in the same directory as the vagrantfile.
echo "Installing scala and setting it up . . . "
echo "Installing SBT . . ."
echo "Setting up VIM for syntax highlighting"
8.) Start the vm via the vagrant up –provision command. This will force the provision.sh file to be run to install scala, sbt and the proper vim bindings for correct syntax highlighting of scala code. This way everytime you initialize the vm (via the vagrant init in the development directory) scala, sbt and the proper bindings for scala syntax highlighting will be automatically installed.
On my machine [edit: it's an Ubuntu 13.10 VM] in particular I had to set this to 512 [edit: turns out 256 works even better] on both lines in order to get sbt to start successfully. I can't give you a particular number which is guaranteed to work—play around with this until you find the right value.

Billie Eilish shares new single 'Therefore I Am'
Fri 13th Nov 2020 10.30 GMT
Billie Eilish - 'Therefore I Am'
Billie Eilish has returned with a brand new song and a new video to boot, sharing her latest effort 'Therefore I Am' after a prolonged period of speculation. It marks the singer out as far from a blip on the radar and suggests that Eilish is here to stay. Taking cues from philosophers and turning them into bedroom bangers is no mean feat and Eilish pulls it off with the skill and confidence of a star. Descartes dancefloors at the ready.
Rene Descartes, the esteemed philosopher, is world renowned for just three words: "Cognito ergo sum." Translated in English as "I think therefore I am" it may not be the basis for a traditional pop song, but, then again, these aren't usual times and, if anything, the world's leading pop star arriving with an existentially rendered hit is about as 2020 as pop music can get.
2019 was a huge year for the singer and, at the turn of 2020, with a record-breaking James Bond theme tune under her belt, there was cause to think that Billie Eilish was about to dominate the pop charts and the touring circuit. Sadly, a global pandemic pipped her to the post and has seen live music shutdown for the foreseeable future. It could have deterred the singer from getting back in the studio and instead forced her into a period of reclusiveness. Luckily for us, Billie Eilish just can't stop making music and has now released the brilliant 'Therefore I Am'.
Currently pitched as a standalone single, the track is built out of the same glitching beats that made her debut LP When We Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? a success but this time she's even more deeply set within the groove — if that's even possible. On 'Therefore I Am', Eilish not only takes a swipe at copycat artists but does it from a position of confidence and courage in her own expression.
As well as asking haters and fake fans to "get my pretty name out of your mouth" and to not "talk about me like you might know how I feel," Eilish sits in the pocket of the track expertly dipping and ducking before delivering the odd right cross to keep you on your toes. Littered with fan-heavy easter eggs and with a song meaning that will keep most people trawling through her Instagram comments, the song is close to what we would call an archetypal Eilish song: its heavy beat, thumping bassline, clever lyrics and synthetic serenity make it a trademark piece.
Considering the last few releases from Eilish and her producer and brother Finneas have been from across the musical spectrum ('My Future' close to soul and the dramatic epic of her James Bond theme song 'No Time To Die'), it's some effort to then provide a distillation of why Eilish reached prominence in the first place. Whether this song turns into the blueprint for the album remains to be seen but what we have in the meantime is proof that with an ear for a tune, a self-reflecting eye and a mind like no other, Billie Eilish is still at the top of her game.
Listen to 'Therefore I Am' below and watch the brand new video too.

Ex-Louisville Player Says Escorts Visited Dorm, Only Danced in Bathing Suits
Josh Dhani October 09, 2015 0
An anonymous former Louisville Cardinals player told ESPN.com that escorts who worked for madam Katina Powell visited the dorms while he was on campus, but only danced for players.
"They were just up there dancing in bathing suits, they didn't even get all the way nude," the player said.
The player said that the escorts visited one or two times, but that he didn't know who invited them to the dorm.
"It was just [for fun], and after that it was like a regular night," the player said. "We went out to a club. Far as paying for sex — nobody did that. She [Powell] is lying about that."
The player also said he never saw large amounts of money change hands, and that he only witnessed about $100 tossed at the women.
"It wasn't no $10,000. I know that much," he said. "Things don't add up. Andre is staying in the dorm, but he's going to give her $10,000? Like I said, I never seen Andre McGee hand her no money. The only money I saw was what was thrown at the strippers. Not by Andre McGee. By players, by their choice. And the girls left, and that was just that."
Former Louisville recruit and current Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle has also confirmed that escorts visited Louisville's campus.

What's in a name? That which we call an Xbox 360, by any other name would game as sweet…right? We nearly discovered the answer to that question, as Microsoft considered naming its most successful games console the "Xbox 3" instead of Xbox 360.
Seeing as the 360's predecessor was Microsoft's first games console, putting the number 3 into the system's name seems on the surface as if it would have made little to no sense. However, Bach pointed out that Microsoft has historically shown a willingness to ignore chronological order in product names when it has reason to do so. And certainly the company's line of reasoning for having considered skipping ahead a number for its games console line is understandable.

I have been spending the last two weeks working on save-the-dates, invitations and wedding programs for a few different clients. Four out of the five brides are using a independent graphic designer, while one ordered everything she needed from The Scribbler in Crestline Village. With THOUSANDS (and I do mean thousands) of options, how do you know where to start this process? I thought it would be helpful to give you a few thoughts that will make this process a little easier for you.
1) How much time do you have before you need to send out save-the-date cards and/or invitations?
Remember, save-the-dates are supposed to be sent out 4-6 months before the wedding date while invitations are supposed to be sent out 6-8 weeks before the wedding date.
If you are pushed for time, you might want to take a look through the design books at your local invitation shop and order that day. It usually takes about two weeks for the invitations to come in.
If you have the time, research different designers and find one that fits your style. DESIGNERS CANNOT READ YOUR MIND! You can send inspiration photos to give him/her an idea of what you are looking for.
Do not give up or settle on something that you are not 100% happy with. However, if you are a picky, indecisive person, you may need to settle at some point. There is nothing worse than a bride who always finds something wrong with every draft. Give constructive guidance and you cannot go wrong.
2) Are you looking for a customized invitation design for all of your "paper" (save the dates, invitations, etc.) or are you going with the more traditional format?
If you are envisioning a personal monogram or logo, typically you will need to work with a independent graphic designer.
The books at your local invitation store will have invitations that are unique and different, so do not feel like you have to hire a designer to get anything other than the traditional ecru card stock. To sum it up...the books are typically a "get what you see" deal, but you can still find some unique designs.
3) Do you know the look/design/feel you want for your "paper"?
If you have no idea of what you want your design to be, I would recommend starting with your local invitation store. How will a personal designer know what direction to go in if you don't know!
Start looking in magazines and online. Pull anything you like and send it to the designer and tell him/her what you like about each one. Nine out of ten times, the designer will be able to pull it all together and create something you really like.
A happy medium is definitely a new invitation vendor I met a few weeks ago.....A+Z Ink. They offer an amazing variety of high quality/uniquely designed invitations. The below pictures are from their collection.

The stunning residential development ArtHouse at J1, Kings Cross has installed screed and flooring elements from Flowcrete UK to create an efficient, sustainable and high performing floor zone.
The environmentally friendly, self-levelling Isocrete Alpha Screed was chosen for the project thanks to its rapid-set properties and its reputation for creating a hard wearing and reliable screed layer.
The 143 residential unit development pump applied 13,000 square metres of the screed across all the site's stairs, landings, basement and ramped areas. The Isocrete Alpha Screed was combined with Isowarm Underfloor Heating and Isocrete Acoustic K foam to create a floor that simultaneously delivers energy efficient heating while reducing noise transmission.
95% of the alpha hemi-hydrate calcium sulphate binder used in the Isocrete Alpha Screed is reclaimed from industrial waste, significantly reducing the amount of material sent to landfills.
The Isocrete Alpha Screed has a 20% faster drying time compared to traditional anhydrite flowing screeds and its laitance free finish does not require sanding prior to applying a coating.
Delivered to the installation area either ready mixed or in a mobile mixing unit, the screed material is machine pumped to the various levels of the development. Flowcrete UK's London-based fixed screed-mixing plant operates seven days a week to supply city developments with screed material whenever is best for them.
This flooring project was overseen by Isocrete Project Management who provided the client with a single point of contact for all supply, installation and after-sales needs.

Ritchie Elementary School
C. Hunter Ritchie School is a kindergarten through grade five public school named after a Virginia gentleman who served on the county school board for 28 years. The school was opened in 1990. It is located on Route 600 near the village of New Baltimore.
We are proud to serve our students who learn each day at Ritchie. We maintain a genuine interest in each child as an individual. Our instructional program guides our students to become successful, independent readers and writers, mathematicians who reason and compute accurately, historians who know and understand the past and how it shapes the future, and scientists who use investigation and inquiry to learn about the world. Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum. Student progress is continually assessed to inform instruction.
Our students come from economically diverse backgrounds; ethnic diversity exists in type, but not large numbers.
Our community gives much support to Ritchie. Our PTO and volunteer programs make the difference. Parent participation in school conferences, activities, and events sends a meaningful message to children that school is important. The school serves as a meeting place for many community events each month including scouting programs, recreational athletics, and citizens' meetings.
Ritchie Students
Ritchie Elementary has several programs that focus on helping "at risk" students and the special needs of all students. This assistance is provided by having both during and after-school programs with specialized instruction. We also have a gifted and talented program for identified students and art, music, and physical education instruction for all students.
** "At- risk" is defined as students that we believe many not pass the SOL assessments in reading and math based on teacher evaluation, previous SOL experience, classroom assessments, and PALS scores.
Safety, Cleanliness, and Adequacy of School Facilities
Our school and the district are both committed to having a safe and clean environment for learning. At the site level, there is an emergency preparedness plan; regular fire and emergency drills are held. Planning for various potential emergencies is done in coordination with regional agencies, the district, and school plans stressing safety for the students first. At least one coordinated drill is held regionally in which the district participates.
Specific safety concerns regarding buildings and grounds at the school site are handled by the maintenance department if they cannot be remedied by site custodians or utility workers assigned to site duties. Our professional staff of 4 custodians performs basic cleaning operations in every classroom every day.
Other aspects of the school/district safety program include:
· Bus evacuation drills
· Fire safety inspections
· Campus supervision
Classroom Discipline/Learning Climate
C. Hunter Ritchie School provides a disciplined, but stimulating, learning climate for students. The climate for learning at our school is enhanced by involved parents. Parents are encouraged to become involved in school communities and programs, to help with homework, and to encourage and honor their child's successes. Student discipline is the responsibility of all our staff members.
A major goal is to provide a positive climate for learning in order to assure student achievement, enhance self-esteem, and develop positive social behavior. To reach this goal, Ritchie offers many opportunities for student participation and recognition. We implement school-wide Positive Behavior Expectations and instruction.
Students are encouraged and expected to maintain appropriate behavior at all times because disruptions interfere with learning. Student handbooks and other information about school and classroom rules are distributed and discussed on a regular basis. Subject matter and courses are reviewed on a regular basis. Academic standards have been developed in alignment with Virginia State Standards of Learning and local needs. Parents are encouraged and welcome to be active participants in the process.
Ritchie School is a definite support base in the housing of active after-school programs that service many of the students attending the school. Activities available according to student interest include Cardio Kidz, Chess Club, Battle Of The Books, and All Star Jumpers. In addition, the community holds Scout meetings and various athletic events after school. Our school is a polling place and site for many community meetings.

A mouthguard is a rubber plate which is moulded to fit precisely over your teeth and gums. It helps to cushion your mouth and protect it from damage. It is important to wear a mouthguard when involved in a sport or activity which involves physical contact or the risk of being hit by fast moving objects, for example boxing, rugby, hockey and cricket, to name just a few. In fact, it is often compulsory to wear a mouthguard while taking part in certain sports.
Mouthguards don't just protect your teeth and gums. A properly fitted, custom-made mouthguard can help to cushion a heavy blow to the mouth or jaw, preventing concussion and damage to the jaw, neck or brain.
Everyone's mouth is a different shape, and it is important that you wear a mouthguard which has been properly fitted to the size and shape of your teeth and gums. There are cheap home mouthguard kits available, but these do not fit accurately to your teeth and can fall out or even cause choking. Worst of all, they are thinnest in the areas which need most protection, making them all but useless.
It is much safer to get a mouthguard custom-made by your dentist. We can create a mouthguard which will fit precisely to your teeth and gums, giving full protection to your mouth, jaw, neck, and brain. We can even provide mouthguards in the colours of your team or sports strip!
Like all sporting equipment, mouthguards suffer from wear and tear and should be replaced at regular intervals. Bring your mouthguard with you whenever you visit us, and your dentist can check it and advise when a replacement is necessary.

Q: What is the Schwarzschild metric in cylindrical coordinates? I was researching online for different metrics of spacetime out of curiosity, and I found one that was said to be Schwarzschild metric in cylindrical coordinates:
$$ds^2 = -\left(1-\frac{r_s}{r}\right)dt^2 + \frac{r}{r-r_s}dr^2 + r^2d\theta^2 + r^2 dz^2.$$
I cannot remember from which site it was or find it in my history, but when I started to try to understand it, I found it to be wrong.
I was amazed to see that there such metrics out there. I never learned string theory, but I also discovered that cylindrical metrics are used to model the spacetime around cosmic strings.
So does the Schwarzschild metric in cylindrical coordinates describe cosmic strings? What is the Schwarzschild metric in cylindrical coordinates?
Edit: I should have mentioned this before, but I did not. I am asking for the Schwarzschild metric in cylindrical coordinates specifically for a cylindrical source/mass aligned/centered along the $z$ axis.

A: As you noted, that's not the Schwarzschild metric in cylindrical coordinates.
In spherical coordinates, where the corresponding Cartesian coordinates would be
$$(x,y,z) = r (\sin θ \cos φ, \sin θ \sin φ, \cos θ),$$
the metric is given by the line element
$$\frac{r}{r - r_s} dr^2 + (r dθ)^2 + (r \sin θ dφ)^2 - \frac{r - r_s}{r} (c dt)^2.$$
To express the metric in cylindrical coordinates, where
$$(x,y) = ρ (\cos φ, \sin φ),$$
set
$$(ρ,z) = r (\sin θ, \cos θ).$$
Then
$$ρ dρ + z dz = r dr, \hspace 1em z dρ - ρ dz = r^2 dθ, \hspace 1em ρ dφ = r \sin θ dφ, \hspace 1em r = \sqrt{ρ^2 + z^2},$$
and the line element becomes:
$$\frac{\sqrt{ρ^2 + z^2}}{\sqrt{ρ^2 + z^2} - r_s} \frac{(ρ dρ + z dz)^2}{ρ^2 + z^2} + \frac{(z dρ - ρ dz)^2}{ρ^2 + z^2} + (ρ dφ)^2 - \frac{\sqrt{ρ^2 + z^2} - r_s}{\sqrt{ρ^2 + z^2}} (c dt)^2.$$

There is also the underlying question of what the cylindrical *generalization* of the Schwarzschild metric is. That's the Kerr metric which, when given in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates, is:
$$ds^2 = Σ \left(\frac{dr^2}{Δ} + dθ^2\right) + \left(r^2 + a^2\right) (\sin θ dφ)^2 + \frac{r_s r}Σ \left(c dt - a \sin^2 θ dφ\right)^2 - (c dt)^2,$$
where the corresponding Cartesian coordinates are
$$(x,y,z) = \left(\sqrt{r^2 + a^2} \sin θ \cos φ, \sqrt{r^2 + a^2} \sin θ \sin φ, r \cos θ\right),$$
and
$$r_s = \frac{2GM}{c^2}, \hspace 1em a = \frac{J}{Mc}, \hspace 1em Σ = r^2 + (a \cos θ)^2, \hspace 1em Δ = r^2 - r_s r + a^2,$$
and this $r_s$ being the same as the $r_s$ for the Schwarzschild metric.

This describes a source with angular momentum $J$, mass $M$, in relativity, with $c$ being the in-vacuo light speed. You can work that what that comes out to in cylindrical coordinates, with the coordinates modified to the following form:
$$ρ = \sqrt{r^2 + a^2} \sin θ, \hspace 1em z = r \cos θ,$$
and use the cylindrical version of the Schwarzschild metric to check this against the $J = 0$ (and $a = 0$) case.

Full Version: new freedoms
we've seen what's going on in egypt at the moment
a continuation of happenings in other parts of the middle east and east africa. the question is will it continue. the topic isn't specifically about egyt, tunisia, armenia or anywhere else. its more about the phenomena of civil unrest and protest against ones own government.
will anything be gained or will an even bigger crisis evolve? will the likes of iran face a new barrage of protests etc. who if any are next. the topic is broad so leeway will be given in the discussion, just don't go silly
god knows what is gonna happen next,just look at the irish politics about 20 members stood down from office and resigned also the taoiseach stood down from the leader of government
srijantje
the vacuum will be filled by people who ultimately will act in their own best interest
but doesn't democracy or what ever name you give a government have to start somewhere. why not "now"
i agree though i think if it escalates it may take less.
at present it's running like a brush fire and picking up momentum, i think all it will take will be one country to come out of it with some kind of freedom for the people that works to lit a tinder box in places like iran etc. i know it's doubtful but it's far from improbable.
i reckon democratie doesn't work either although i wouldn't know what would work better,power tends to always gravitate towards the same people and their interests.
The chinese are getting worried about what's happening in egypt ,that says something to me

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." {Sir W.C}, Why are the Chinese interested in Egypt?
they put censorship on everything that's happening there at the moment,meaning they don't want their own people getting any ideas
excellent vid vf.
of course sj could be right and another like mubarak (sp) may take his place.
it would be good to have reasonable democracy if some of the arab states though if it happens i have a feeling outside forces
from places such as iran would try and bring it down
great find velvet,the moral being,although tigers are stronger and better organized,there are many more rabbits.
give the rabbits half a chance and they will turn into tigers
the soution[understood in the western world]is that you have to throw the rabbits a bone every now and then to keep them "happy"
consume,more,more,better than your neighbour,etc,etc
i'd say jordan will be watching what goes on very closely as well. mubarik said he'll step down but won't leave the country.
of course at this juncture he'd say almost anything. whether of not he means it is a different matter. as for china, i think there has to be a few more countries thinking the same thing.
also Israel will be gearing up for war again in case an anti Israeli contingent claim power.
i think the situation is getting worse. Egypt are now on the verge of civil war if they haven't already
entered it. it seems mubarak supporters are joining in the protests with an aim and causing bloodshed. some say that
the security forces are also joining in dressed as civilians but carrying and using machetes. thinks are looking bleak in the middle east.
it will get worse before it gets better. i hope the Egyptian people get what they're marching for.
the i'd say watch out. because there's nothing as serious as a person who loses
his bread...and ii'm being serious. all those who'll their jobs must number many.
if they all start coming out it could be a full blown civil war
it all depends on the army,if they're forced to start shooting their own mothers they might change side
i would imagine the chinese send in units from the other side of the country to do the tiananmen square thing,in egypt that won't be so easy since most people come from a concentrated area and so do the soldiers i would think
(02-04-2011, 12:35 PM)velvetfog Wrote: [ -> ] I agree.
The Egyptian army won't start a bloodbath, shooting their own people, like the Chinese army did at Tiananmen Square in 1989.
The Egyptian army is far more likely to conduct itself like the Soviet army sent into Moscow did, in the dying days of the USSR, and change side.
i wouldn't be too sure of that. all it would take is some of the egyptian security forces dressed as civilians engaging in violence, once the anti mubarik forces retaliate the army would have to go in and even may have to go in heavy handed. to stop them killing themselves. i don't think it would be that hard to manipulate the masses to violence. the added bonus would be that it would make mubarik look like the goody and the protesters look like bastards.
yes,in a lot of countries around the globe the main reason to go into politics is to amass wealth
the problem being that average joe will do the same once in power


"River," Joni Mitchell's dark holiday lament, gets some testerone competition with Imaad Wasif's "The New Year," a track from Kill Rock Stars' Winter Holiday Album, a joyous little affair indeed.
Wasif was a member of Lou Barlow's side project New Folk Implosion at the end of their run. The group appeared in the film "Laurel Canyon" in 2002.
It doesn't get much more hopeful, but when Wasif asks that everyone "come together this December and for the new year," you want to believe it can happen.
It's much like the way we root for lost hikers and suspected kidnap victims to be found.
Despairing, near suicidal, this song won't be on the next "Now That's What I Call Christmas," but as a leadoff track for Kill Rock Stars Records holiday package, it's perfect.
Finally, NBC has posted an MP3 of "O Holy Night," the amazing "Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip" performance by the Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews-led New Orleans horn band, which aired last Monday.
The Studio 60 "Christmas Show" episode repeats on December 18, and it's worth watching for more than the music.
The dialogue is sharper, character development more focused and (very important to critical detractors of the show in its early days) the comedy in the fictitious variety show is much, much better. The "Dateline: To Catch A Predator" sketch was funnier than anything on SNL last night.
I do hope they keep this show on the air. Matthew Perry's character is so much more satisfying (to me, anyway) than his one-dimensional "Friends" role. Bradley Whitford is always good, and the relationship developing between him and Amanda Peet is a good story move. I'm waiting for Steve Weber's network chairman to throw a monkey wrench into that one. Whose baby is it, really?
Back to the music – this song is even more beautiful without the dialogue. Thanks, NBC. If the sole legacy of "Studio 60" were just "O Holy Night" and the shout-out to New Orleans music it engendered, that would be more than a lot of shows I could name.
Download it here. Right click and save is best.
Note: NBC took down the file, so I'm engaging in a little guerrilla promotion to ensure this song is heard. Send a donation to Tipitina's Foundation to show your gratitude.

the banner was made by kthy. I know that your good in art works too so i invite you to build a banner for us.
We got a new banner . Im working to improve it.
