Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile: Writing THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY: A post by Richard Wright + a SURPRISE!
Writing THY FEARFUL SYMMETRY: A post by Richard Wright + a SURPRISE!
Please welcome to the blog, Richard Wright!
He's the author of Thy Fearful Symmetry, a completely amazing book that I've recently fallen in love with. You can find my review here, and add the book to Goodreads by clicking the banner. Trust me, you'll want to. Especially if you like books with a creep factor.
Anyway it's Richard's time to shine, so I'll step away! Please enjoy his guest post and then scroll to the bottom for a surprise!
You've felt it, haven't you? That white hot passion for another person that drives the world away. Everything's simpler, when you're whacked out on that kind of love. Choices become black and white. Can I or can't I? Will I or won't I? Should I or shouldn't I? There aren't a lot of grey areas, with passion.
I was challenged once, by a lady I was involved with, to write a love story. I mostly scribble strange dark fictions, you see. While being the girlfriend of a writer seemed cool, I suspect she secretly wished she could trade me in for one of those 'proper authors' she was always hearing about. The lady never said so, but I believe she was hoping to lead me out of the ghetto, and turn my powers to good.
I gave her a story about passion, called When The Stars Threw Down Their Spears. Your regular tale of boy meets girl, boy and girl find out they're ancient enemies but fall in love anyway, God disowns them, and the forces of Hell are unleashed. A tale as old as time, even if it wasn't quite what she was hoping for. I was pleased with it. High passion, desperate romance, and an angel being tortured in a dingy Glasgow flat.
Okay, maybe I didn't stay exactly on brief. The lady and I went our separate ways some time after, which says it all.
You can download that story today, for free at most retailers except Amazon, where it's 'cheap' instead. I retitled it His Work To See, because that was easier to fit on the cover.
After the story was first published in 2000, I realised I hadn't finished it. Those two celestial lovers, Ambrose and Pandora, kept interrupting me at inopportune moments to suggest that they weren't entirely done with me. I'd started their tale, but was a long way from finishing it.
To appease them, I wrote the novel Thy Fearful Symmetry. If Stars is the heat of passion and romance, Symmetry is something deeper and more complex. Love never sits in a bubble. The black and white world it creates cannot withstand the distractions of reality. Other people intrude. Other pressures emerge from outside the romance. Sometimes, there's an actual apocalypse, and the world ends (well, not usually, but this time there is).
When faced with the ever more complicated forces of real life, love has to evolve. It's fed less by fire and intimacy, and ever more by faith. Faith that your choice was correct. Faith in the person you love. Faith in yourself. Faith that you'll stay strong and true through the many obstacles life hurls at you.
I don't think the woman for whom I wrote the story ever understood that.
Faith is many things though, and Thy Fearful Symmetry is about several different uses of the word. For Malachi Jones, it comes down to faith in what he's due, while for Inspector James Gemmell it's about faith in the power of law and order. For Father Calum Baskille, it's about faith in a God, and what happens when he no longer has need of it.
Those are the things I was writing of, when I wrote Thy Fearful Symmetry. Your mileage may vary. Every story is unique to the one who reads it. Every book fuses the author and the reader in different ways. It's one of the areas where the written word triumphs over all other means of storytelling. I may suggest images and ideas to you, but they only take final form in your own head, filtered through your own experiences and opinions. It's a strangely intimate form of telepathy, that way. Just you, me, and the apocalypse.
I hope you'll come and join me in the story, and find out what you might have faith in if the world ended.
Before I go, thank you to our hostess for letting me tell you a bit about where the book comes from. I like what you've done with the place Jessica, and am flattered to be asked in for tea and a natter.
Anytime Richard! Anytime at all.
Now then, let's get to the surprise shall we?
Thy Fearful Symmetry is free to all you lovely readers!

Go get your copy, get reading, and spread the love!
Also don't forget to thank Richard, since, you know, he's awesome ;).


Home » FAQs » I've heard that some clinics offer anesthesia-free dentistry. Is this safe for my pet?
Most pets won't lie still during a dental cleaning, so there is a strong risk of injuring the pet's gums and other soft tissue in the mouth. A frightened pet could also bite the clinician.


European indices closed just a few points off their lows this morning, with big equity gains on mixed preliminary Q1 GDP data (France was a bit better than expected, Germany missed). US stocks were volatile, quickly shrugging off the April retail sales miss for a move up in the first 30 minutes of cash trading, followed by a move back towards unchanged. Bond markets continue to see-saw higher. As of writing, the DJIA is up 0.05%, the S&P500 is up 0.06% and the Nasdaq is up 0.24%.
European bond yields dipped lower earlier today in the wake of the soft April Chinese Industrial Production and Germany Q1 GDP data, helping prices recover from Tuesday's bout of selling, and Germany and Italy both successfully sold government debt. However the trend was reversed during the US session after the April retail sales report, with the 10-year UST giving up gains and adding 2.2 basis points, while the 10-year bund yield headed back in the direction of last Thursday's highs, adding five basis points to trade 0.720%.
The April advance retail sales report for April was pretty weak, however there were also positive revisions to the March data. Both the April headline total sales and the control group (which fees into the GDP reading) were flat, widely missing expectations. Meanwhile, the March headline Sales revised higher from 0.9% to 1.1% and the control was revised from 0.3% to 0.5%. Analysts highlight that April retail sales were curbed by declines in sales of cars, furniture, electronics and appliances. The greenback saw big gains after the retail sales report, with EUR/USD rising from 1.1220 as high as 1.1360.
WTI crude saw big gains through yesterday's session, aided at first by dollar losses and then after the US cash close by the second consecutive drawdown seen in last week's API crude inventories report. WTI was probing the $61.80 level ahead of today's DoE inventories report, which like the API numbers saw a consecutive drawdown in crude stocks, although WTI tumbled more than a buck after the report. Brent remain just below six-month highs at $67.80.
DuPont investors rejected Nelson Peltz's attempt to get on the board at the annual meeting today, the first failure for an activist campaign mounted by Trian Fund Management. The outcome is a big victory for DuPont Chairman and CEO Kullman, who refused to settle the proxy fight by giving a board seat to Peltz. Trian had splitting DuPont into two companies. Shares of DD are down 6% on the news.
Retailers Macys and Ralph Lauren are down today after tepid quarterly results. Ralph beat earnings expectations and beefed up its stock buyback, but tis comps were deep in the red and margins were under pressure. Macys earnings and revenue missed, while its guidance for the current quarter was for another earnings miss. M is off 2.0% and RL is down 3.0%, while many other retail names are following them lower.

What turned his career, his preferred batting position - Candid Rishabh Pant reveals all
Virat Kohli will return ar number three, Ambati Rayudu will bat at four, which leaves numbers 5 and 6 open between MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant.
By : K Manish
Feb 17, 2019 13:45 IST
The Indian selectors believe they need to give a long rope to Rishabh Pant and they believe he can be used as a floater in the batting order. With the World Cup a couple of months away, they have shunned Dinesh Karthik and have roped in Pant as the second wicket-keeper in the mix.
Chief selector MSK Prasad has dropped a hint that the left-hander can be used as an opener, an option which has already been endorsed by Shane Warne and Sunil Gavaskar. While Warne believes a combination of Pant and Rohit will be 'sexy', Gavaskar thinks it will be an aggressive move.
However, if the balance of the side is anything to go by, Virat Kohli will return ar number three, Ambati Rayudu will bat at four, which leaves numbers 5 and 6 open between MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant. The young man has now said that he wants to bat higher up the order in order to be more expressive.
'Team combination is important'
File picture of Rishabh PantAlbert Perez/Getty Images
"As a batsman, I would always like to bat as high as possible but the team combination is also very important," said Pant. Well, he will get a chance to stake his claim when he strides out for the Delhi Capitals this season.
However, at a young age, when he is being lapped up everywhere, the southpaw wants to focus on his own game and not be too perturbed by social media.
"You need to be careful about social media. Once you are well known, your personal space shrinks. You will get a lot of praise but one should also be aware that you will have to deal with negativity," he said.
Speaking about the turning point in his career, Pant says that the century at the Oval in the final Test of the England series gave him the sense of belief that he could succeed at the international level and has since, gone on to work very hard on his game.
"When I got that hundred in England, the confidence rose to a different level. From there, I started constantly thinking that how can I improve in certain areas. The process of learning that started in England paid off in Australia," he observed.

Biography of Powell Helme
Rhode Island has been the American home of the Helme family since the early half of the seventeenth century, when the first of the name, Christopher Helme, is recorded as a sergeant and a member of a Court of Trials in Warwick, in 1647, his death taking place there in 1650. His youngest son was Rouse Helme, who died in 1712, and his son James Helme was born in 1710 and married, in 1738, Esther Powell, who was a granddaughter of Gabriel Bernon, one of the most eminent of the early French settlers in Rhode Island. He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1717 and a judge on that bench for many years, besides having held numerous other public offices.
Samuel Helme, son of James and Esther (Powell) Helme, was born in 1755 and served as clerk of the court in Washington County. He was the father of Powell Helme, who married Elizabeth Kenyon. Powell Helme died October 20, 1861. He was for many years clerk of the Supreme Court of Washington County and was town clerk of South Kingstown, Rhode Island. He and his wife were the parents of seven children:
Samuel, died in infancy.
John, died at the age of twelve years.
Powell, died at the age of eight years.
Abby A., a resident of Kingstown.
Bernon, who is in charge of the Hazard properties at Peace Dale, Rhode Island.
Nathaniel, meteorologist at the Rhode Island State College.
Mary, married Dr. William Hale, of Gloucester, Massachusetts.

This is a remarkable time in human history! We are simultaneously in the midst of major breakthroughs in biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, evolutionary psychology, nanotechnology and fundamental physics. These breakthroughs are dramatically changing our understanding of ourselves and the nature of human society. In this talk we'll look back at how we got to where we are and forward to where we're going. Von Neumann's analysis of rational economic behavior provides the framework for understanding biological evolution, social evolution, and artificial intelligence. Competition forced creatures to become more rational. This guided their allocation of resources, their models of the world, and the way they chose which actions to take. Cooperative interactions gave evolution a direction and caused organelles to join into eukaryotic cells, cells to join into multi-cellular organisms, and organisms to join into hives, tribes, and countries. Each new level of organization required mechanisms that fostered cooperation at lower levels. Human morality and ethics arose from the relation between the individual and the group. The pressures toward rational economic behavior also apply to technological systems. Because artificial intelligences will be able to modify themselves directly, they will self-improve toward rationality much more quickly than biological organisms. We can shape their future behavior by carefully choosing their utility functions. And by carefully designing a new social contract, we can hope to create a future that supports our most precious human values and leads to a more productive and cooperative society.


One of the big problems with national health care is old people. They cost a lot. And consume a lot of the limited resources available. Especially with their repeat hospital stays. Becoming too great a burden for some hospital personnel. Leading to poor care. And neglect. As this family in Wales experienced (see NHS neglect: Calls for inquiry after woman's death by India Pollock posted 7/25/2013 on BBC News Wales).
Another family member said: "We sat by her bedside until her tongue swelled up and cracked and her lips split open for want of hydration.
The health board said it would conduct a Protection of Vulnerable Adults (Pova) investigation.
However, the board did not contact the family for six months. It apologised and said that lessons had been learnt but no Pova proceedings took place.
When the woman was readmitted in 2012, relatives said they discovered the same problems.
They reported their concerns to social services which is when they learnt that a Pova investigation had not actually taken place.
Pova proceedings were then used and a number of allegations were proved.
The health board admitted giving unnecessary sedation and failing to administer prescribed medication.
The board also failed to care for the woman's amputated leg.
A family member added: "We explained how her prosthesis could be taken off and showed them the bag of clean amputation socks that we'd taken in for her.
"We also gave them oils to treat her leg to ensure it didn't become inflamed. We explained it all to the staff.
"When I complained that she was having unnecessary sedation, they said it was because she was screaming at night. When I asked her why she was screaming at night, she told me that they hadn't taken her leg off in the two weeks that she'd been there.
Recommendations were put in place, but the family said there were similar issues when the woman was admitted to Neath Port Talbot hospital in August 2012.
Then she was transferred to the Princess of Wales Hospital, where she died in November.
The family said they were told by staff that they were stopping her medication as she was dying of pneumonia.
He said there had been a 30% increase in complaints about the NHS in Wales in a year.
This is our future. What we can expect under Obamacare. As the government moves us closer and closer to national health care. Poor care. Neglect. And an unfeeling bureaucracy. Who will look at our loved ones with contempt. Annoyed by their excessive health care needs. Looking for any opportunity to withhold their medications so they just hurry up and die. So they can go and treat less burdensome patients.
You won't find the phrase 'death panel' in Obamacare. Just as you won't find them in the NHS. But they have one. It's called the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient. A death panel by another name. Which lets patients supposedly die with dignity. After consulting with the patient's family. But that didn't happen with this patient in Wales. And, sadly, it's not an isolated incident.
For those of you who wanted Obamacare, for those of you who want national health care, this is what you have to look forward too. It's not utopia. It's trying to do more with less. Which is just a recipe for poor care and neglect. For the only way to cut costs so you can provide health care to more people is by giving everybody a less costly and a lower quality level of care. It's simply math. The more people you treat the less each person gets. And things like this become a little too common in the NHS. As they will under Obamacare.


Event #45 ($1500 Ante Up NLHE) had a field of 678 players that included some big names in poker. Ben Volpe ended up winning the bracelet in the tournament and the over $200,000 1st place prize. Volpe has now cashed 3X at the 2013 World Series of Poker.
Only nine players came back to the felt yesterday including Chris Moorman, Blair Hinkle and Paul Lieu. Lieu is another player that has been having a great series this year, as he has now cashed four times already and has won over $250K in cash prizes.
Sam Panzica was the first player eliminated from the final table yesterday. Daniel Johnson, Adam Stone and Horacio Chaves all hit the rail after Panzica. Moorman was knocked out in 5th place, but that was a good result after starting short stacked.
Hinkle who started the day in 8th place in chips managed to finish in 4th place. In his last hand he moved all-in and Lieu called him with pocket queens. Hinkle had Ad/3d. The flop brought a queen and Hinkle couldn't improve. Bonnecaze was next to go.
Volpe started heads-up against Lieu with a chip lead, but both players went back and forth. It looked like Volpe would win with Q/Q against 4/4, but a 4 hit to double up Lieu. Volpe had to battle back from being down to win the bracelet.

The De Novo Synthesis of Horsepox Virus: Implications for Biosecurity and Recommendations for Preventing the Reemergence of Smallpox
Health security | 25 Aug 2017
GD Koblentz
In March 2017, the American biotech company Tonix announced that a Canadian scientist had synthesized horsepox virus as part of a project to develop a safer vaccine against smallpox. The first de novo synthesis of an orthopoxvirus, a closely related group of viruses that includes horsepox and the variola virus that causes smallpox, crosses an important Rubicon in the field of biosecurity. The synthesis of horsepox virus takes the world one step closer to the reemergence of smallpox as a threat to global health security. That threat has been held at bay for the past 40 years by the extreme difficulty of obtaining variola virus and the availability of effective medical countermeasures. The techniques demonstrated by the synthesis of horsepox have the potential to erase both of these barriers. The primary risk posed by this research is that it will open the door to the routine and widespread synthesis of other orthopoxviruses, such as vaccinia, for use in research, public health, and medicine. The normalization and globalization of orthopoxvirus synthesis for these beneficial applications will create a cadre of laboratories and scientists that will also have the capability and expertise to create infectious variola virus from synthetic DNA. Unless the safeguards against the synthesis of variola virus are strengthened, the capability to reintroduce smallpox into the human population will be globally distributed and either loosely or completely unregulated, providing the foundation for a disgruntled or radicalized scientist, sophisticated terrorist group, unscrupulous company, or rogue state to recreate one of humanity's most feared microbial enemies. The reemergence of smallpox-because of a laboratory accident or an intentional release-would be a global health disaster. International organizations, national governments, the DNA synthesis industry, and the synthetic biology community all have a role to play in devising new approaches to preventing the reemergence of smallpox.

Brims Construction has recently been appointed to undertake the construction of the new Clough House Student Accommodation complex at Kings Manor in Newcastle. Initial works comprise the demolition of the old Clough House office block to make way for the construction of a new seven-storey student accommodation building. The new accommodation block will include 272 bed spaces with 21 studio units and 45 flats. The development will also contain a common room, gym and landscaped areas. The construction phase of the project will run for approximately 79 weeks, with anticipated completion in July 2018.
The site is located within the existing Technopole Kings Manor Business Park. The rear of the site is located adjacent to the main East Coast railway line and there is also an adjacent Metro station for public use. There is also a public footpath around the rear of the site adjacent to the Central Motorway. As Principal Contractor, we will be working closely with businesses and residents in the surrounding area throughout the construction phase. We recognise the importance of keeping the local community informed throughout our works and will issue regular newsletters to update everyone of the project's progress and site issues.

Sunday: 1 US Soldier, 3 Iraqis Killed; 35 Iraqis Wounded
by Margaret Griffis Posted on January 18, 2009 August 7, 2009

The Electoral Commission is investigating reports that a number of candidates submitted fraudulent credentials when applying to run for office. Many candidates have already been disqualified for various reasons including being former Baath Party members.
In political news, a deadlock remains in the Iraqi parliament where lawmakers failed to elect a new speaker. Also, Iraq's foreign minister called the U.S. occupation of Iraq "the mother of all mistakes."
In Baghdad, a roadside bomb near the Furat district home of an Awakening Council official wounded six people, including the official. Three people were wounded in an Amin supermarket when a car bomb targeting a U.S. patrol was detonated; the blast also killed a U.S. soldier. A bomb near Shabb Stadium wounded three policemen while shelling wounded two Iraqi soldiers in Jamiya, both yesterday. Three policemen were wounded in a late day bombing in Meshtal. In Yarmouk, two people were injured during a roadside bombin. A bomb blast on Palestine St. wounded eight people. Also, police defused a sticky bomb attached to the car of a ministry official.
A suicide bomber stormed the Qayara home of a deputy head of the Iraqi National Dialogue Front. He was killed and two bodyguards were wounded. A policeman at the scene said that a policeman was killed and as many as three others were wounded.
In Mosul, a roadside bomb injured two people, including a civilian.
A total of 97 suspects were detained across Basra over the last three days. A prison employee was wounded when a bomb attached to his car was detonated.
A dangerous suspect was captured in Amara.
Babel police captured at least 35 men suspected of murdering a political candidate. Three policemen were among the suspects.
A suspect accused of murdering a Hibhib official was captured.
Eight suspects were arrested in Khalis.

Firefighters have attended dozens of fires in Berkshire schools in the last five years, exclusive new figures reveal.
Data obtained through a Freedom of Information request shows that, since 2013/14, there have been 48 fires in schools in towns including Wokingham Bracknell and Reading, Berkshire.
There were 14 blazes in 2013/14, 13 in 2014/15, 11 in 2015/16, five in 2016/17 as well as five in 2017/18.
Of the 48 fires attended in total, at least five were deliberate - although it could actually be more, as in a further two cases the cause was unknown.
In 11 of the 48 fires, the cause was a fault in equipment or an appliance, while in seven cases there was overheating or the cause was unknown.
Nine of the fires started in a kitchen while six started in a meeting room.
There was one casualty, in 2013, when an employee sustained slight burns.
The incidents include a fire at Emmbrook Junior School in Wokingham in September 2015 when the building had to be evacuated after ceiling tiles caught fire.
Another evacuation was carried out at Bradfield College in 2013 after a fire in the kitchen.
The Freedom of Information request was sent to all fire and rescue services across the UK, and 20 of them responded.
Nationally, there have been at least 1,436 fires attended in schools since 2013/14, of which 653 were deliberate.

Q: No more sound devices in 18.04 I had everything working well on my Dell Ins 7700 but wanted to change default audio output to HDMI. I installed pulseaudio set default in the app and it worked fine. I then lost audio a few hours later - rebooted and no audio devices at all in the sound control panel.
I removed and reinstalled pulse audio and the utilities but still no sound devices detected.
Newer user trying to learn. Please help don't want to have to rebuild my machine.

A: Found through my own investigation pulseaudio was not running.
restarted from prompt with pulseaudio --start and devices showed up
then looked in startup applications did not see pulseaudio. I added it back (press the super key- usually the windows key) looked for startup applications and added pulseaudio -- start.
Verified which pulseaudio using termina and the which pulseaudio command
Found pulsaudio added it back and rebooted all good now.
I love learning and fixing it myself

MacOS Development
The key to great app development lies in having a solid foundation, ideally laid in having a good operating system, to begin with on which your app will stand on and initiate all its operations. For a long time, Windows was the dominating operating system of the nineties.
Why Should You Use Mac OS X in App Development? A reason for this system's stagnation in progress is the brand's fear in offending its corporate clients; therefore every tech change has to be introduced painfully slowly so as to be assimilated by its clients.
Apple, on the other hand, has slowly crept up and overtaken Windows and other operating systems primarily because they are not afraid of taking giant leaps. Their "it's our way or the high way" approach to their operating system has enabled them to make significant improvements in their software, which other operating systems are almost incapable of attaining.
MAC OS X software is essentially a two-layered system. Its impressive GUI sits on top of a UNIX core, and UNIX is notorious for its impressive security features. UNIX makes it's nearly impossible to install a Trojan or a virus to the system unless the user gives it root access to the system by essentially typing in the admin password into the system.
The beauty of MAC OS X built-in firewall is that it operates out the box, while at the same time being highly flexible. While MAC users should ideally remain vigilant about foreign files and consequentially never allow them into the system by giving them an admin pass, they then do not need special software to block out these viruses.
MAC OS interface is simple, you can pin as many apps as possible to dock at the bottom of your screen, plus they are always available to you. Besides this, you can run multiple desktops, make use of your iCloud chain to decipher your credit card information, share various files wirelessly through Airdrop, and still monitor the operating system via a set of in-built high-grade utility tools.
The system also has a rapid start-up resume time. All this is essentially made possible by MAC OS powerful stability. Even though systemic degradation is expected over time, as is the case with just about every operating system, the rate is significantly reduced on MAC products and freezing and crashing are not a common everyday occurrence as is the case with a few operating systems.
MAC's impressive reliability can be primarily attributed to the fact that the operating system was built from the ground up. Apple essentially controls the production of its software and hardware products from start to finish, and so every part of the system is designed and tested out to work cohesively together.
Those who complain that Apple forces its consumers to use its proprietary software couldn't be more misguided. MAC OS automatically recognizes and works well with other Apple products including iPads, iPhones, etc.

F.A.Q. about MacOS Development
What is Mac OS X?
Mac OS X is an operating system created by Apple for Mac computers (the first version was introduced in 2001), which replaced the then outdated Mac OS 9.
This is a POSIX-compatible system, that is, all Unix operations can be performed in it. Built on the basis of the XNU core with the Aqua graphical interface.
Starting with version 10.8 it is called OS X.
What are the advantages of macOS?
Fewer virus attacks:
As macOS is the second most used operating system and has fewer active users so it has fewer virus attacks also. The other reason for virus safety is its UNIX relationship which is more secure than Windows OS.
Good customer support:
Mac users get a good response from their support team as compared to other operating systems. Apple has skilled engineers which help the user in fixing the issues in their hardware and software.
Similar GUI for all the products:
macOS has the same graphical user interface (GUI) as found in other Apple products like iPhone and tablets. Users feel comfortable in using macOS if they shifted from other Apple products.
Performance and long life:
As Apple makes both hardware and software so it's hardware communication is very efficient and it improves performance. The operating system and hardware work great. Apple computer has a longer life than other computers. The battery timing of mac laptops is also longer.
Default apps:
If you install Windows then it comes with pre-installed apps that slow down your computer e.g. Onedrive slows your computer. But this is not the case with macOS, it comes with powerful apps which don't affect the performance of your system. Some of the pre-installed apps of macOS are iPhoto and iMovie.
Support NTFS and FAT:
macOS support Windows file system formats including both NTFS and FAT.
Can run Windows:
You can run the Windows operating system if you have macOS installed by using Bootcamp or parallels software.
What are the disadvantages of macOS?
Expensive:
The minimum cost of a Mac PC is higher than $1000. You can get a good Windows PC at $1000 with more hardware specifications.
Fewer games and software:
Most game developers prefer to make games for the Windows OS because they have more percentages of users. Mac users have fewer games available. Also, mac computers have low graphics capability to run high graphics games. There is some software that is available for Windows and not available for mac users e.g. adobe premiere pro etc.
No hardware customization:
If you buy any Mac computer/laptop then you cannot change its hardware parts like processor, graphics card, etc. For some mac computers, you can change hardware and RAM but it is not for all mac computers. It is also not possible to change other hardware accessories like internal computer parts, the only choice you have is to buy a new mac computer. On every major release of your operating system you have to change your computer else 50% of your operating system features not work.
Windows cannot read the macOS file system:
macOS can read NTFS and FAT Windows format but Windows cannot read the macOS file system. You need to install 3rd party software in Windows to do so. Some other software like footnotes has compatibility issues while moving files from macOS to Windows.
Less hardware used:
The new version of macOS computer supports fewer USB ports and they also not shipped with CD/DVD writer.

Le Glaive de Tallinn (Tallinna Mõõk en estonien) est une compétition d'escrime se déroulant annuellement dans la capitale estonienne depuis 1971, sans interruption. Depuis 1992, il compte pour le classement officiel de la coupe du monde à l'épée, mais réunissait déjà, avant ce statut, certains des meilleurs escrimeurs du monde.

Historique
Le tournoi a été fondé en 1971, réunissant quarante-deux tireurs soviétiques ou issus des pays satellites de l'URSS. Dans le début des années 1980, les escrimeurs d'Europe de l'Ouest prennent part, avec succès, au tournoi. Les Allemands Borrmann, Fischer et le Français Lenglet remportent consécutivement le trophée.

Lors de la chute de l'union soviétique, le tournoi prend la catégorie de coupe du monde (en 1989) ce qui augmente son attrait pour les meilleurs escrimeurs, mais a aussi pour effet de
réduire considérablement le nombre de participants, qui chute de 230 en 1990 à 92 en 1992, chiffre qui reste à peu près constant, bien qu'en légère augmentation, jusqu'en 2005. L'internationalisation croissante de l'escrime et la réduction du nombre d'épreuves au calendrier va permettre à l'affluence de connaître un bon durant les dix années suivantes, culminant, en 2015, à une réunion de 273 tireurs. Cette même année, le premier non-européen, le Japonais Minobe, remporte son premier titre sur le circuit.

En 2016, la compétition devient féminine.

Man arrested while registering voters outside of Target store
The arrest of an activist outside of a Target store is the source of debate among San Jose residents. Salvador Bustamante, who is the executive director of Latinos United for a New America, was arrested while soliciting passersby to register to vote. While Bustamante says he was providing a public service towards bolstering democracy, Target says they have received numerous complaints from customers over the past couple months that describe Bustamante as "aggressive." Target also says they only contacted law enforcement after repeatedly asking Bustamante to leave.
While the parking lot in front of the Target is technically private property, it can be considered a public space if it serves as a community gathering place. And California law usually exempts activists from trespassing restrictions as long as they don't interfere with normal business. Apparently Target saw Bustamante and his LUNA colleagues as both disruptive towards business and in violation of the blanket policy that prohibits soliciting at all Target locations.
Laws regarding trespassing in California are not straightforward and often disadvantage activists. If you or someone you know has been accused of a crime, like trespassing, you should contact the [firm-name], at [phone-number].

perfect forward secrecy (PFS)
Contributor(s): Sarah Lewis
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), also known as Forward Secrecy, is an encryption style known for producing temporary private key exchanges between clients and servers. For every individual session initiated by a user, a unique session key is generated. If one of these session keys is compromised, data from any other session will not be affected. Therefore, past sessions and the information within them are protected from any future attacks.
Without perfect forward secrecy, a user initiates a communication session with a client and the entire conversation is encrypted based on the client's special key. However, the client uses the same special key to generate encryption for all of its sessions, and if it becomes compromised, so does all of the information contained within each conversation.
With perfect forward secrecy, every communication session generates a unique encryption key that is separate from the special key, private, and only lasts for the duration of the session. If an attacker were to compromise one of the user's special key, the conversations would stay encrypted and secure. Similarly, if an attacker were to compromise the unique encryption key, only that specific conversation would be leaked.
Protecting data on the transport layer of a network, perfect forward secrecy has become a security standard for developers to implement into messaging services or websites that are dedicated to user privacy. Tools applying this feature can change encryption keys as frequently as every text message, phone call, or page refresh. Recently, the Internet Engineering Task Force has published the Transport Layer Security Standard to mandate perfect forward secrecy for all TLS sessions.
Heartbleed and Perfect Forward Secrecy
Perfect forward secrecy became more of an interest after the introduction of the Heartbleed bug to OpenSSL in 2012. The vulnerability is a result of an insufficient input validation in the utilization of the Transport Layer Security protocol heartbeat extension. Heartbleed is known as a buffer over-read vulnerability and would allow the user to read more data than allowed, leaking an entire chain of information up to 64 kilobytes.
While Heartbleed has been publicly disclosed since 2014, it proved the simplicity of an OpenSSL attack and sparked the conversation around temporary methods of key exchange. Thus, perfect forward secrecy became a viable solution for protecting users from similar code defects.
Perfect Forward Secrecy in Use
Perfect forward secrecy has become widely adopted by information providers since its inception and is known as a crucial security feature. Signal, a messaging protocol for end-to-end encryption found in WhatsApp, Google Allo messenger, and Facebook conversations, popularized perfect forward secrecy. Known as the "double ratchet" system, Signal creates a new encryption key with every single message. Most recently, it also introduced a feature that enables messages to self-destruct.
In 2011, Google provided Gmail, Google Docs, and encrypted search users with perfect forward secrecy by default. Twitter has offered perfect forward secrecy to all users since 2013. Apple announced in 2016 a new, mandatory protocol for all iOS apps requiring the use of App Transport Security, a security feature that utilizes perfect forward secrecy.

Trump Will Get A Private Lawyer To Handle Russia Investigations
President Trump has reportedly picked Marc Kasowitz to represent him during the investigations about Russia's electoral interference.
Article by Matt Picht
President Trump has reportedly enlisted a private attorney to help him beat back the investigations into any potential collusion between his campaign and the Russian government.
Marc Kasowitz, Trump's reported pick, is a partner at Kasowitz, Benson, Torres and Friedman. That happens to be the firm where former Sen. Joe Lieberman currently works. And Lieberman is rumored to be Trump's top choice for FBI director.
Trump Reportedly Asked Intel Chiefs To Deny Evidence In Russia Probe
One official told The Washington Post the president wanted to "muddy the waters" about the Russian investigation.
Kasowitz has represented Trump several times in the past. During the campaign, he sent an angry letter to The New York Times demanding it pull down its coverage of sexual assault claims against Trump.
The White House already has a lawyer on staff, but his job is more focused on defending the office of the president, not the individual. A personal lawyer can also invoke attorney-client privilege to keep legal advice confidential; federal employees don't have that luxury.
Trump might not be alone, either — Politico reports that some West Wing employees are searching around for affordable private legal help in case they get caught up in an investigation.


1. Styling Versatility. Many human hair wigs lace frontal can be colored, permed and styled just like your own hair.
4. Natural Look. Human hair wigs feel great and can look incredibly natural.Natural Weaving Hair help you achieve a beautiful natural hair style.
So,how to style a human hair wig?
Once the wig is complete, the excess lace that hangs over the forehead must be trimmed back into the wig for the most natural look. This is a delicate process that takes a steady hand, a good pair of scissors and a lot of patience.
Cut away about a quarter-inch of the lace all around the front and sides of the wig. Do this using long, fluid scissor strokes to avoid jagged edges. It is best to cut away small portions of lace instead of all of it at once, since cutting away too much lace will ruin the wig.
Step 2.Pin the hair to your head to avoid the loose.
The lace that is on the forehead will be the most visible, so it should be cut back all the way to the hairline.
Use a fine-toothed comb to create a parting on one side of your hair or follow the hard parting that your barber has cut in.
Blow dry your hair up and away whilst combing to create definition in the parting.
One your hair is dry, continue to use the comb to neaten the parting and reinforce the separation.
Wet styling is the best method for styles like roller sets and perm rod sets. Styling foam and lotion are usually applied on wet hair to smooth it out. From there you either air-dry on sit under a hood dryer and the style is completed. Remember to be gentle.
Sometimes, if your edges are particularly fuzzy, you can wet your hands, smooth the edges and crown, and then apply the shea butter. You can also try other products, the shine is unmatched!
Some women said they really like the way gives their hair look. Note;you'd better spray some into your hands and rubbing them together and then running your hands down your hair. Its makes look really healthy and shiny and it smells really good as well.
If you wear a human hair wig with baby hair, there's no need to skimp on style. Just style your human hair wig to upgrade your look or to give your natural hair a break from the rigors of daily styling products.
You can dye,curl,straighten, even bleach your hair as your own hair.But also remember after you style the hair please use the good conditioner to take care of your hair it can help you to extended your hair's service life.
Roll the wig with hair rollers while it is still damp. You may use a spray bottle filled with diluted setting lotion or water to keep the hair moist as you work with the hair to style it. This will help the hair to adhere to the rollers and give a good curl to the ends of the hair.
It is essential to check that your wig is "heat safe" before using any heated styling products such as straighteners or curlers.
Start working the hair from the bottom up. Separate the wig into sections and carefully comb the lower part of the hair, before straightening the ends, never reaching more than an inch and a half from the root of the wig with the straighteners.
Besides,here is a video of how to style a human hair wig for you.There are 10 easy hairstyles for wigs and weaves.Hope you can enjoy it!
How do you create the perfect style?
◆Before styling your full lace wig, it is important to determine to origin of the wig. European hair tends to come in many different textures, whilst Asian hair is more likely to be thicker and very straight.
◆It is also important to find out if your human hair wig is 100% human hair, or whether it is a mix of human hair and synthetic or special fibres. Most wigs come with manufacturer instructions on the best ways to texture that specific wig.
◆Once you have determined the origin of your human hair wig, you know which style is better suited to the hair, and the best processes in which to do so. For example; Asian hair is much better suited to straighter styles, whilst European hair may hold curls and texture a lot better.
◆If you don't plan on using heated styling products, the easiest time to style your wig is when your wig is still wet after washing.
◆Wet hair is a lot easier to style than dry hair, and styles are much more likely to hold once the hair is dry, verses styling already dry hair. If you plan on using heated styling products, ensure the hair is thoroughly dry before using them on the human hair wig.
◆Once the hair is washed (and/or dried), place it on your wig stand (or your head, although most women find it easier to style their wigs in front of them) and comb through the hair with a detangling combe-avoiding the roots or base of the wig.

What is the TBR Challenge? Simply put, it's where readers pick up a long neglected book from their TBR pile, read it, and comment on that read on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. The idea is to read those long neglected books that you just had to get your hands on at the time, but have been languishing in your pile, all lost and forgotten.
Commentary on your chosen TBR read can happen anywhere online (your blog, Facebook, GoodReads, Twitter, a message board etc.) just provide me with a link when you sign-up so interested readers can follow all the challengers!
Why do I make you do "homework?" Honestly? Because it's fun. Over the years many people have commented how much they enjoy following along with the TBR Challenge participants to discover "long lost gems" and maybe get a different perspective on a book they read years ago. Plus is the one day every month where you are guaranteed to get some good book chatter.
This is a voluntary challenge and I want it to be fun. Which means if you skip a month (or, uh, several), I'm not going to publicly shame you. Hey, life happens. Even to the best of us. Also, I am keeping up with the tradition of providing monthly themes. Some participants like that added focus. Some prefer to go "off theme" and read wherever their mood takes them. And both are perfectly and totally acceptable! The goal of this challenge is to read neglected books out of your TBR, whatever they may be.

Solidaridad receives two proposals from new public transport companies
Mexico and Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — The city of Playa del Carmen has received two proposals from new companies interested in offering public transportation.
Toward the end of this year and into early 2018, city officials say they will have a need for a new public transportation company. So far, two companies have expressed interest in operating Playa del Carmen public routes.
César Navarro Medina, president of the Transport Commission, said that this opening would be "very positive" for the city, which has grown and needs not only a company, but additional routes. Navarro Medina says that one of the companies is not ADO, as previously mentioned, but are companies from outside the state.
He says that one of the proposals came from Monterrey and the other, from Mexico City. He adds that both companies made the proposals using LPG gas vehicles, an option that would prove more environmentally friendly for the region. He also says the new units are equipped with chemical bathrooms, something current drivers lack, and would provide a solution to a common problem they face now.
In regards to the current public transportation option, Navarro Medina says they receive many public complaints mainly about the lack of courtesy of the operators and the lack of cleanliness of the units.
He also says that at least 10 percent of the vehicles in operation need maintenance in areas such as the seats, bodywork and lights among others.
"The truth is there are enough problems that must be solved," he said adding, "We see that there are buses that should not be used but they still do it."

When could we expect consistent profitability of a call options buying strategy given specific statistical assumptions about X% chance of a stock price moving up by Y% within 1-5 days (or Z number of days). And what call options buying trading strategy parameters would be recommended to utilize to achieve such expected profitability?
For example an average casino would have 50.5% - 55.9% odds on Blackjack and be consistently profitable. Not sure if similar expectations can be applied to stock trading (winning average x% y% of the time vs losing average z%) because of large swings in loss percentages unless using stop-loss which then limits the number of times we may win. However, as options can be used to limit losses, I'm assuming there may be a specific way to calculate expected break even point and profitability when trading stock options based on statistically predicting specific stock price increase.
Can I expect profitably when buying call options given statistical 50% chance of stock A moving up by 6% vs 50% chance of moving down by 3% within 2 days.
Can I expect profitably when buying call options given statistical 60% chance of stock A moving up by 3% vs 40% chance of moving down by 3% within 5 days.
Can I expect profitably when buying call options given statistical 60% chance of stock A moving up by 3% vs 40% chance of moving down by 5% within 5 days.
Can I expect profitably when buying call options given statistical 75% chance of stock A moving up by 3% vs 25% chance of moving down by 10% within 5 days.
d) Far out-of-the-money, with intent to sell them within several days, for example expecting a \$0.10 option to raise in price above $0.20 (100%) when stock price approaches in-the-money level.
NOTE: I'm looking for layman-level answers in a way similar to casinos explaining their odds. I was thinking about posting this question in http://money.stackexchange.com, but as an answer may require some math and degree of quantitative experience, I decided to post it here with hope that I can still get an answer in the form of basic math vs advanced quant formulas, especially as the answer could be helpful to anyone starting trading options.

Karlheinz Heinrich Leopold Deschner (ur. 23 maja 1924 w Bambergu, zm. 8 kwietnia 2014 w Hassfurcie) – pisarz i badacz autor 10-tomowego dzieła pt. "Kryminalna historia chrześcijaństwa" oraz wielu dzieł historycznych i artykułów z zakresu krytyki religii i Kościoła, uznany za współczesnego Woltera.

Życiorys
Jego ojcem był katolik Karl Deschner zajmujący się leśnictwem i hodowlą ryb, a matką protestantka Margareta Reischböck.
W latach 1929–1933 uczęszczał do szkoły podstawowej w Trossenfurcie, później do seminarium franciszkańskiego w Dettelbach nad Menem i następnie (1934–1942) do Nowego Gimnazjum ("Neues Gymnasium"; obecnie: Franz-Ludwig-Gymnasium) w Bambergu. W marcu 1942 zdał maturę, a następnie podobnie jak reszta klasy zaciągnął się na ochotnika do wojska. Walczył aż do kapitulacji III Rzeszy, kilkukrotnie odnosząc rany.

Studia zaczął zaocznie na wydziale leśnictwa Uniwersytetu Monachijskiego. W latach 1947–1951 studiował niemiecką literaturę współczesną, filozofię i historię. Studia zakończył w 1951 roku obroną pracy doktorskiej "Liryka Lenaua jako wyraz metafizycznej rozpaczy". Z teologią miał do czynienia na studiach tylko przez około rok: słuchał wykładów z dziedziny prawa, teologii, filozofii i psychologii w Wyższej Szkole Filozoficzno-Teologicznej w Bambergu (obecnie Uniwersytet Ottona i Fryderyka w Bambergu).
W związku małżeńskim który zawarł w 1951 z Elfi Tuch urodziło się troje dzieci: Katja, Bärbel i Thomas.

W 1998 roku został laureatem nagrody im. Arno Schmidta, w 1993 otrzymał International Humanist Award i Alternativer Büchnerpreis. W 2001 przyznano mu nagrodę Erwina Fischera.

W 1971 roku stanął przed sądem w Norymberdze oskarżony o znieważanie Kościoła. Sąd nie dostrzegł okoliczności uzasadniających oskarżenie o zniewagę. W procesie zapadł wyrok uniewinniający.

Twórczość
Jako pisarz uprawiał różne gatunki literackie (powieść, pamflet, aforyzm, rozprawa krytyczno-literacka, historyczna, filozoficzna). W 1956 roku wydał powieść Die Nacht steht um mein Haus, którą wywołał duże poruszenie.

Od 1958 roku publikował książki historyczne, krytykujące Kościół i religię.

Główne dzieła z tego zakresu to:
 Abermals krähte der Hahn (1962) (I znowu zapiał kur)
 Mit Gott und den Faschisten  (1965)
 Kirche und Faschismus (1968)
 Kirche und Krieg (1970)
 Das Kreuz mit der Kirche (1974) (Krzyż Pański z Kościołem)
 Opus Diaboli (1987) (Opus Diaboli)
 Die Politik der Päpste im 20. Jahrhundert (Polityka papieska w XX wieku)

Jest on także autorem książki pt. "Moloch: Krytyczna historia Stanów Zjednoczonych", w której skupia się na mrocznych stronach historii USA (rzezie Indian, niewolnictwo, neokolonializm itp).

Kryminalna historia chrześcijaństwa
Od 1970 roku pracował nad dziełem swego życia Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums – "Kryminalną historią chrześcijaństwa". Jest to praca zaplanowana na dziesięć tomów, mająca być przedstawieniem całych dziejów chrześcijaństwa w kryminalnym aspekcie. Skupia się głównie na negacji idei prymatu biskupa Rzymu, stosunku papiestwa i hierarchii kościelnej do wojny, politycznym zaangażowaniu duchowieństwa, polityce chrześcijańskich dynastii, królów i cesarzy, stosunku do innowierców, gospodarce i polityce finansowej Kościoła. Porusza ponadto zagadnienia fałszerstw, stosunku chrześcijaństwa do oświaty, kultury, kwestie cudów i relikwii w historii i interpretacji chrześcijaństwa.

Pierwszy tom serii ukazał się w 1986 roku. W języku niemieckim i angielskim wydano 10 tomów (w 2013 r. ostatni), w Polsce jedynie 5 pierwszych.

Tomy wydane w Polsce:
 t. I – Wczesne chrześcijaństwo (Gdynia 1998)
 t. II – Późna starożytność (Gdynia 1999)
 t. III – Kościół pierwotny. Fałszerstwa, ogłupianie, wyzysk i zniszczenie (Gdynia 2000)
 t. IV – Wczesne średniowiecze (Gdynia 2001)
 t. V – IX i X stulecie (Gdynia 2003)

W Polsce prace Deschnera wydawane były przez nieistniejące już Wydawnictwo Uraeus.

Home > Articles > Is Matcha Good for You?
Matcha (from the Japanese roots matsu, "to rub," and cha, meaning "tea") comes from Japan and has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Today it's the hip health trend in town.
Matcha is derived from the green tea leaves of the camellia sinesis plant. This is the same plant used to make green tea. However, matcha leaves are not steeped and discarded, as with typical green tea. Instead, they are ground into a fine powder and mixed into a food or beverage of choice. Since the entire ground leaf is being consumed, rather than just its essence, the health benefits are thought to be compounded.
Many of the beneficial effects of green tea are thought to be related to a unique antioxidant known as a catechin. Catechins are naturally occurring antioxidants found in tea leaves, wine, cocoa, coffee, and berries.
Since matcha tea consumption means ingesting the entire leaf instead of just the steeped fluid, the antioxidant content is higher. One study found that matcha contains between three and 137(!) times the catechins as standard green tea.
While more research is needed to determine the optimal dose of matcha tea for daily consumption, this study found that participants who drank four daily cups of steeped green tea experienced a significant reduction of weight and decreased blood pressure.
Remember that matcha tea provides the same components as green tea, though in a more concentrated way. This implies that, if consuming green tea in the form of matcha powder, the same health benefits can be achieved by consuming less than four cups daily.
What Are Matcha's Potential Risks?
Pregnant: Green tea contains caffeine. Matcha tea contains more caffeine than steeped tea, though less than coffee.
Anemic: If you are anemic, meaning you have low blood-iron concentrations, consumption of matcha tea may make your anemia worse.
Start with a small amount of matcha powder—typically 1/2 teaspoon. You can always adjust your starting amount of matcha powder to suit your flavor preferences.
Add warm water slowly, until the matcha forms a paste.
Top off the beverage with 6 oz. of hot water or nondairy milk of choice. Research shows that casein in cow's milk protein can bind up the catechins, rendering them ineffective, which is why nondairy milk options are the best for making matcha tea lattes. The water should be close to boiling, but not quite. Matcha paste blends best if you use a whisk to ensure a smooth drink. Traditionally, a bamboo whisk is used.
Blend matcha paste with plain yogurt.
Spread the mixture onto a clean face and neck.
Let sit for 10 minutes. The matcha may help ease inflammation, while the lactic acid in yogurt helps moisturize and dissolve dead skin cells.
Rinse with warm water, and follow with a moisturizer.
Despite its minor health risks, green tea—especially matcha—is undeniably a rich source of healthy, plant-based antioxidants. While further research is needed to recommended daily amounts, most people can benefit from green tea consumption. Make yourself a latte or get brave and spread it onto your skin; you will be enjoying a medicinal plant rooted in a long tradition.

Art Apart: After This
By Katie Clarke
Click here to watch a recording of the live performance!
After This is a show about loneliness, about being alone with yourself — within a community or without. Part audio documentary, part verbatim theatre production, After This is a creative compilation of phone interviews with students, parents, professionals and seniors in Canada and abroad. These interviews were conducted by playwright Katie Clarke in April and May 2020, during the period of social isolation prompted by COVID-19. This theatrical short film asks us to consider what it means to be alone, to be lonely and to be isolated. After This also examines community: its creation, the different forms it may take and how it is sustained. While we are alone, while we stay at home, what does it mean to be in a community? When does a community, or company, become claustrophobic? What does it mean to escape — and where will we escape to?
This project received financial support from the National Theatre School of Canada via the Art Apart program, an emergency fund for emerging artists who are affected by physical distancing due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
Katie is a playwright and poet living in Halifax. She studies Psychology and Contemporary Studies at the University of King's College as a LORAN scholar. Passionate about women's rights and mental health, she uses poetry and playwriting as a site for social change and difficult dialogue. Katie has written two full-length plays, both of which focus on conflicting narratives of sex, sexuality and identity. Women's Issues, Katie's first play, was staged at the University of King's College in January 2019 and was restaged at Halifax Fringe in September 2019. Her second play, Will You Taste Our Blood, is a feminist re-examination of Euripedes' The Bacchae which addresses hook-up culture, sexuality and sexual violence. Will You Taste Our Blood was first staged at the University of King's College in March 2020. In After This, Katie uses verbatim theatre, documentary audio and film to investigate themes of community, care, discomfort and loneliness.
Benjamin Burchell
Benjamin Burchell is a twenty-year-old Halifax local studying Theatre and Acting at Dalhousie university. This is the second production Benjamin has taken part in under the direction of Katie Clarke with the first being Will you Taste Our Blood; a play in which modern rape culture is juxtaposed with the sexualized cults of ancient Greece. Benjamin made his post-secondary acting debut at the University of King's college with his role as King Aegeus in the King's Theatre Society's production of Medea directed by Adrianna Vanos. Benjamin was initially excited to partake in a production in this format with the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and hopes to be a part of more unique productions like this one.
