Warning signs posted in west Maui after apparent shark bite
Posted: Nov 26, 2020 / 08:17 PM HST / Updated: Nov 26, 2020 / 08:17 PM HST
File – The woman who was bitten by a shark off of west Maui on Nov. 26 is in stable condition one day after the incident.
KAHULUI, Hawaii (KHON2) — Warning signs were posted on both sides of Honokowai Beach park in west Maui after a 35-year-old woman was apparently bitten by a shark on Nov. 26.
[Hawaii news on the go–LISTEN to KHON 2GO weekday mornings at 7:30 a.m.]
The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) said the woman, a visitor from California, was swimming approximately 100-yards off-shore from the Mahina Surf Condominiums around 2:53 p.m. when she was reportedly bitten.
Maui fire officials said surfers helped bring the victim to shore. She was taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center with severe injuries to the front of her torso.
Shark warning signs have also been posted from Kahana Village Vacation Rentals to Papakea Resort.
The DLNR Division of Aquatic Resources is investigating the details of the incident. Beachgoers are being warned to stay out of the water in the area.
Latest Stories on KHON2

HONOLULU (KHON2) -- A surface low across the western islands continues to trigger deep convection far southwest from Oahu and Molokai, but this activity has decreased a bit across local waters within the past few hours. Nevertheless, the threat for flash flooding remains sufficiently high to keep a Flash Flood Watch up for Kauai and Niihau through tonight. The surface trough is expected to move west of Kauai by Wednesday morning and the threat for flash flooding will decrease.
An upper trough straddling the state provided instability that fueled heavy rainfall over Kauai and isolated downpours over the rest of the state earlier today. An increase in clouds is expected tonight over the eastern islands as mid and upper clouds stream overhead from the south. Once the surface trough pushes west of Kauai, easterly trade winds will spread across the state with showers focused over windward and mountain areas. However, models show the upper trough remaining through the week. Therefore, we expect a wet trade wind pattern with rainfall maximum overnight and during the early morning hours.

The Portafilter Podcast with Nick Cho and Ashley Rodriguez. For coffee professionals and fanatics only!
Pretty good! Pretty, pretty, pretty good!
People working in coffee need to surround themselves by others who have interesting or insightful thoughts about the things they're doing - this is great for that, thanks guys.
I love coffee and everything about it. From brewing it, to perfecting it, to learning all the ins and outs of the industry. I am fascinated by coffee. Originally I heard about this podcast from a different podcast. Instantly fell in love when I listened to the episode with Peter Guiliano. The content is great, I learned so much. But coffee is one of my "escapes" from the drama of current politics and when the hosts of his podcast talk so much about current politics, it bothers me. I just can't stand it. To be honest it's not even WHAT they are saying politically, it's just the fact they are talking about it at all in the podcast. So, that's why I gave this a two star review. Get rid of the political garbage. We as listeners get enough of that already in our lives already.
I'm a barista in Vermont and portafilter podcast has been a great resource. Coffee professionals are few and far between in Vermont. PF provides me with the opportunity to stay connected to the latest developments in the coffee industry and information that's relevant/helpful for me as a barista.
PF is also really entertaining and frequently hilarious. One of the best coffee podcasts out there. Do yourself a favor and tune in.

You! Be Inspired! – 10 Awesome Videos for Graphic Design Inspiration
by Patrick Ilagan . August 1st, 2012
The weather may not be fine today but we here at YTD are still at our most creative state. Today we have prepared a load of inspiring videos from viral ads to cutesy animations that will give you the inspiration you'll be needing to fuel your creative day ahead. Check them out and enjoy!
1. Dream (featuring Mos Def & Niels Shoe Meulman for Louis Vuitton) by Ogilvy Paris
The newest Louis Vuitton campaign features Yasiin Bey (more commonly known as Mos Def) and world renowned graphic designer Niels Shoe Meulam. Yasiin Bey performs one of Muhammad Ali's poem entitled "Dream" which he (Ali) delivered on his legendary fight against George Foreman in 1974. The viral video was directed by Stuart Mclntyre with Ogilvy Paris.
2. Mario- Post It Life by Final Cut King
If you are the O.C. type who uses a lot of Post-It to keep yourself reminded with your tasks at hand or just a plain Post-It hoarder— I'm pretty sure you'll gonna love this video. The video was made by Zach King who is also known as the Final Cut King. He decided to make the video to pay tribute to some of the most popular and iconic video games of all time.
3. No Noodles by Tyler Nicolson
Who doesn't love a good clay animation? This beautiful stop motion animation is made by Tyler Nicholson who is an animation student living in Montreal. The video involves jumping fishes, dinosaurs and one weird purple creature. Be sure to take a look at his other stuff here.
4. This Means War Title Sequence by Imaginary Forces
For those who have seen the movie (or at least paid attention to it) probably has an idea about this flick. But for the benefit of those who didn't get the opportunity, "This Means War" opening sequence has the James Bond effect and feel into it.
5. DiGi "Birds" by EyeBelieve
Do you guys remember MirrorMask, that surrealist visual treat of a film orchestrated by Dave McKean? The making of this video is like that because it involves combining live action scenes with computer generated graphics but without the length and the creepy creatures, this video instead has crazy birds (hence the title) in it. Behind this video is EyeBelieve which is an award-winning design studio based in Selangor, Malaysia.
6. Wamono Music Video for HIFANA
Japanese breakbeat duo KEIZOMachine! and Ju-c or more commonly known as HIFANA are very passionate about infusing the Japanese culture to their craft. Enlisting the help of up-and-coming Japanese artist such as Teppei Maki they have created a collection of music videos that will blow your mind away. This video is probably too old for our list (since this it was released on 2005) but it still managed to crawl in because of the creative inputs used.
7. How to Improve Your Relationship
Hip-Hop based duo Parker and The Numberman teamed up Qualcomm to create this wicked viral video telling why people should get a Snap Dragon. The video hosts various disciplines of design such as typography, set design and animation. The great use of color in this video is sure to keep your eyeballs glued on your screen.
8. Disform 2012 by Dani Wolf
This awesome motion graphic signage was created by Dani Wolf for his graduation project in Bezalel Academy of Design and Arts. This 3-minute video involves an ensemble of quirk but edgy animated type. Check out his other awesome stuff here.
9. "State of the Art" Music Video for Gotye by Rubber House
Before Gotye's hit single "Somebody that I Used to Know" climbed the charts, he was already known for having a great visual flair in his music videos. One of those is this video for "State of the Art" which was in collaboration with Rubber House. The award-winning animation studio based from Melbourne is headed by Gregory Sharp and Ivan Dixon.
10. London 2012 Olympic Games Trailer of BBC
Of course our list wouldn't be complete if we don't have something related to the 2012 London Olympics. This animation trailer was made for the media giant BBC (the nice folks that brought us Doctor Who). The idea behind the video is to make United Kingdom a huge stadium with the athletes preparing and competing in around the different locations. The concept was devised by RKCR/Y&R while Passion Pictures handled the stunning animation sequences.

About artPontiac
ThePontiac Artists' Association (PAA) is a registered not-for-profit association established in 2004 whose goal is to promote arts and culture and to contribute to the cultural life of the Pontiac region through direct action. All monies received through grants, donations, memberships and activities are used for this purpose. The Board of Directors is made up of volunteer members of the Association elected at the Annual General Meeting.
Events the Association supports and promotes include the Pontiac Artists' Studio Tour, the Pontiac School of the Arts, Artists' Residency Project as well as both exhibitions and activities at The Stone School Gallery. Our web site www.artpontiac.com promotes all these activities including individual member's events and exhibitions.
Anyone can become a member of the Association. Members include professional artists, emerging artists, community members and patrons. The membership fee allows the artist member to submit his/her request to participate in any of the activities mentioned above. A separate committee organizes each activity. The committee establishes the criteria surrounding the participation and organization of their event.
All work is done on a volunteer basis and we are grateful to those who offer their time and talent to make this Association a success.
To make the Pontiac Artists' Association a driving force for the development of arts and culture in the Pontiac region.
To promote, defend and develop the social, artistic and professional interests of its members and to contribute to the cultural development of the Pontiac.
To fulfill its mission, the Pontiac Artists' Association will:
support the dissemination of its members' art;
provide opportunities for the professional development if its members;
foster relationships and promote collaboration between artists and local and regional cultural organizations;
develop the cultural environment of the region through diverse activities and engagements; and
contribute to the development of new audiences for the arts
The idea of an association of artists germinated in a meeting of five visual artists and a writer in 1989. The Pontiac Artists' Studio Tour Association (P.A.S.T.A.) grew out of the meeting. Already, the promotion of professional and emerging artists was a key motivation for founding the association.
Since 1990, the Pontiac Artists' Studio Tour has continued to educate the community in the arts and contribute to the cultural life of Pontiac. It has offered youth in the region the opportunity to discover the arts through its free activities including the Young Artists' Workshop Program and Art in the Park (Plein Air, Plein Art). The artists of Pontiac have exhibited nationally and internationally.
P.A.S.T.A. has since evolved into what is known today as the Pontiac Artists' Association. In 2001, with its broader mandate, but still primarily concerned with the promotion of artists and cultural life, members of the association assisted the CLD with a feasibility study for a Cultural Centre for Pontiac.
The Studio Tour has had tremendous success, attracting thousands of visitors to Pontiac. In 1995, it was awarded the Jury's Special Prize at The Outaouais Tourism Awards.
In 2003 the Pontiac Artists' Association contributed to the creation of a position of cultural agent at the MRC Pontiac. Two years later, it participated in the drafting of a cultural policy, which was presented to and adopted by the MRC in 2005.
In 2004, through the dedication of a group of community members and artists, the Pontiac School of the Arts was formed. The aim of the school is to offer the opportunity to learn and teach courses that cater to community and families. In its first three years, the School has been a true success story, achieving increases of 50% and 30% in annual enrolment. Furthering its mission of education, training and community involvement, the School of the Arts has entered into partnership with various organizations, notably Québec en forme, the Campbell's Bay Community Learning Centre and the Heritage College Continuing Education Department. In its fourth year, the School is closer to achieving its goal of offering a year-round program.
Currently, the Pontiac Artists' Association acts as an umbrella organization for the Pontiac Artists' Studio Tour, the Pontiac School of the Arts and other events and exhibitions, each activity having its own program and stakeholders.

Djeca su najmlađi članovi ljudskog roda. Po UN-ovoj Konvenciji o pravima djeteta dijete je svaka osoba mlađa od 18 godina.

Od rođenja do 28 dana života djecu zovemo novorođenčad. U daljem njihovu djetinjstvu razlikujemo rano djetinjstvo (do 6. godine života), srednje djetinjstvo (do 9. godine života) i kasno djetinjstvo (do 12. godine života). Neki razdoblje puberteta isto smatraju djetinjstvom, znači od 1. do 16. godine. O djetetu se brinu njegovi roditelji, obično i starija braća/sestre te djedovi i bake. Ovisno o spolu, može biti dječak ili djevojčica.

U mnogim zemljama djeca idu u školu, no, u većini siromašnih zemalja mnogo se djece izrabljuje za rad ili ne idu u školu. Od gladi pati više od 150 milijuna, a umire oko 10 milijuna djece. Konvencija o pravima djeteta donesena je 20. studenog 1989. godine na Generalnoj skupštini Ujedinjenih naroda i na taj se datum svake godine obilježava Svjetski dan djece.

Svjetska rekorderka po broju djece je Ruskinja koja je rodila čak 69 djece koje je nosila u 27 trudnoća. 16 je puta nosila blizance, sedam puta trojke i četiri puta četvorke. Otac s najviše djece je marokanski imperator Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif koji je imao harem od 500 žena, a otac je čak 1 042 djeteta.

Konvencija o pravima djeteta
Konvencija o pravima djeteta je sporazum kojega su usvojili Ujedinjeni narodi 20. studenoga 1989. Konvenciju je prihvatilo 196 zemalja svijeta, a među njima i Hrvatska. Konvencija sadrži obaveze koje su države potpisale kako bi zaštitile djecu te zajednički odredile što treba učiniti da bi svako dijete raslo i razvijalo se u odraslu osobu. Drugim riječima, u Konvenciji o pravima djeteta popisana su sva dječja prava koja je djeci potrebno zaštititi i osigurati kako bi rastala zdravo i zadovoljno.

Dječja prava dijele se na prava preživljavanja, zaštitna prava, razvojna prava i prava sudjelovanja.

This is a quick and easy crochet project that would be a nice gift along with some shower gel or a bar of soap. Or do like I did and make it as a gift for yourself!
At first, I wasn't too sure about using crocheted items in the shower, but I'm really enjoying the crochet soap saver I made a while back, so I thought I'd give this a try to use with shower gel instead of a nylon "pouf." I added a hanging loop to the corner of the mitt. Without a loop, what are you going to do with that wet mitt?!
The pattern is included in the set of Crocheted Bath Accessories on Lion Brand's website (pattern # ckc-bathAccessories). The pattern is free, but you may need to create an account and log in to see the pattern.
I used Lily Sugar'n Cream yarn in Ecru. It's a cotton yarn and is easy to work with.
To make the hanging loop: sc 20; in 2nd chain from hook, hdc in each chain across. Sew to corner of mitt.
My mitt came out larger than it needed to be. My gauge was off, because it turned out to be 10 inches long instead of 8.5 inches. The next time I make one of these, I'll hold up my hand as I go along. The thumb hole is at row 14, so if it's long enough to fit the top part of your hand before you get to row 14, just skip crocheting some of the rows in the row 4-13 series and jump ahead to row 14 to make the thumb hole.
This is great! I made a soap saver about a year ago, like the one you had made in you earlier post, but it didn't work out. I used a synthetic yarn, which didn't shrink at all. I ended up with a yarn pouch with a teeny bit of soap inside. I felt goofy trying to use it.
This turned out really well and it's so cute!
What a wonderful idea-and I love that you made one for yourself. Merry Christmas!


Islamic militants attacked a governor's convoy in north Kenya on Friday for the second time in five months, killing three people, a police official said.
Five others are in critical condition following the attack on Mandera governor Ali Roba's convoy about 27 kilometers from the town, the official said.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak with the press, said about 20 attackers shot at the convoy with rifles and rocket propelled grenades.
Two vehicles were burned in the attack and a third vehicle was hijacked and driven off toward the Somali border, the official said. Two police officers were burned beyond recognition, and a politician was killed, he said. Five civilians were wounded by bullets. Roba was safely evacuated, the official said.
Somalia's al-Shabab militants claimed responsibility for the attack through their radio station.
In October, Roba's convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device as he was being driven to work, injuring one of his guards, police said.
Friday's attack comes two days after a new police chief was sworn into office. His predecessor resigned following an attack in Mandera last year that killed 36 people.
Al-Shabab, an Islamic extremist group, has vowed to inflict violent attacks on Kenya because it has contributed troops to the African Union force supporting the western-backed government in Somalia.
In November, al-Shabab fighters hijacked a bus near Mandera, singled out non-Muslims and non-Somalis, and shot dead 28 passengers. Twenty-two of those killed were teachers. Ten days later al-Shabab massacred 36 quarry workers who were non-Muslims.
Hundreds of teachers in parts of northern Kenya that borders Somalia have refused to return to work, fearing attacks by the Islamic extremists despite government reassurance of increased security.


Considered one of probably the most typical electrical wiring concerns is on how to wire a switch. Although applying switches at home is kind of simple, wiring one might not be that simple for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are actually different kinds of switches, but for this example, let's say you will be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally prevalent switch (along with the easiest).
You'll find three colors of wires inside of a common single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them about the terminal screws - one particular on best as well as other on the base screw in the change. The white wire serves like a source of uninterrupted ability and it is normally linked to some light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the eco-friendly wire for the ground screw of the swap.
These techniques would typically be enough to create an average swap perform with out a problem. Then again, in the event you are usually not self-assured that you can execute the task thoroughly and safely and securely you greater enable the pros do it rather. Right after all, you can find a cause why this process is without doubt one of the most commonly encountered electrical wiring concerns questioned by most people.
For some explanation, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is additionally considered one of essentially the most widespread electrical wiring questions. To simplify this task, you can use one swap for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it really is simply a make a difference of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan to your black wire on the switch. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire should be linked to your black wire in the swap also.
You will discover motives why these are generally one of the most generally asked electrical wiring thoughts. One particular, numerous imagine it truly is easy to perform, and two, they're the widespread electrical responsibilities at your house. But you then must not set your basic safety at risk with your goal to save money. The stakes could even be significantly greater if you try and get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring task without the need of adequate awareness or encounter.


There's much more to reading and early language development than just story time. Story time is important and vital, but sometimes—especially with reluctant readers—you need more to get kids really into the idea of reading. Family-based reading games can be a great way to turn your children onto bedtime stories for kids and to reading in general. Learn about a few great reading-based games you can play as a family to kick-start that vital love of language that your child needs to get off to the right start in life.
Concentration is a classic matching game that kids love. It teaches them creative thinking and problem-solving, and develops their memory. Using it as a word game can also build vocabulary. Take some words from the last great bedtime stories for kids you read together, and make matched pairs of cards out of them. Arrange the cards in rows and columns, face-down, and try to match words. When you match a pair, keep the cards and gain a point. Winner has the most points!
Go Fish is another classic matching game. Similar to Concentration, in this game you make pairs of words to form a deck of cards. Each player gets five cards and has to ask another player if they have a certain word. If they do, the second player hands it over and the first lays the pair on the table. If not, the second player says, "Go Fish!" and the first draws a card from the deck. The object is to be the first to empty your hand.
Rhyming is an important skill that encourages kids to really think about how sounds work together to form words. Create a rhyming game that starts with reading a few fun poems like those you find in Mother Goose. Lay out words and letters and encourage children to find (or even create and define) new words that rhyme with a topic word.
Spelling and learning the alphabet are also important skills that come out of early reading time. Try starting with an "A to Z" or "ABC" book and encourage your child to come up with other words that start with the same letters as those displayed in the book. If your book shows an apple, for example, ask your child for other words that start with "A." You can combine this with rhyming games by having them think of words with the same letter and words that rhyme!
Reading at an early age carries so many important benefits to kids. It creates vital bonding time between you and your child and builds vital skills they'll need to succeed in life. The earlier you start, the better off your child will be. Check out some of our free interactive eBooks to get started, and explore our site for more advice on early reading time!

"I Want to be number one on Google"
It's a cringeworthy statement of ignorance.
If you work in web, you hear it all the time. The owner of a small dress shop from a suburban town declaring that we "must be number one for 'dresses'," or the CEO of a medium sized IT supplier pompously challenging his team to make them "number one for 'servers,' 'computers,' and 'Blackberries'."
"I want to be number one in Google" is a classic example of business leaders not understanding something, but wanting it anyway.
Know Why You Want It
I'm no expert in SEO tactics, but I do know that before you worry about search placement, you need to have a website and content that people want to use and read. There is no point in bringing people in, if there is nothing of value for them to do.
Content comes first.
You also have to set aside your ego. Just because you work with computers, doesn't mean it's worth trying to place well with "computers" in search. Work with a knowledgable SEO expert to determine a humble and realistic SEO scheme.
There are basic things that can be done to a website while designing and building it to improve placement in natural search, but there isn't any magical line of code to accomplish the task.
Improving search position comes from creating great content that people want to read, and will link to. It's a simple statement, but very difficult to achieve because in order to do it, you have to cut through all of the noise out there.
Sometimes it's downright impossible. If you are looking to place well for "computer," the competition are businesses like Dell and Apple.
The bottom line is that it's hard work to earn a good search position.
Not-$o-Hard Work
If you don't want to work hard, and you want great placement in Google, you can always buy your spot through Adwords. It's not natural search, but you can get yourself high placement in return for money.
You might notice a company called "Bergen Computer Shop" on the right of this image. That company has no hope of placing well against it's competition in a natural search for "computer," but paid advertising gives it a fighting chance.
It is possible to game Google. To trick them into placing you better, but doing so comes at great risk.
Yesterday the New York Times published an extensive article about JC Penny's unnaturally incredible search strength. They were topping consumer categories that they had no business topping. My favorite example was that they were appearing ahead of samsonite.com in a searches for "Samsonite."
When JC Penny's deceitful search engine optimization scheme came to light, Google took action and bumped them way down.
One of the biggest rules of running a website is, "Never make Google look foolish." In the longrun, it is never worth it.

just tweeted your site
I think I figured it out. OK how do you JCPENNY did not just pay big bucks for pay per click advertising.
Thanks for the tweet.
Pay per click would place them in the advertised section of the results page, not at the top of natural search.


We're just going to come right out and say it: mushrooms are weird. They pop up without warning and they can change the weather. Many of them can also glow in the dark, and we don't know why. Now, at least, we might know how, as researchers writing in the journal Science Advances reveal the bizarre, "promiscuous" process of fungal bioluminescence.
Lots of animals light themselves up, glowing or flashing to send messages, find prey, or flirt with potential mates. And scientists have a pretty good understanding of how that happens. When a pair of enzymes called luciferin and luciferase combine with energy and oxygen, the resulting chemical reaction makes a compound called excited oxyluciferin. But excitation is not sustainable, so the oxyluciferin releases its fizzy energy in the form of light.
Scientists hypothesized that fungi were probably doing something similar (although really, with fungi, anything is possible).
To learn more, an international team of researchers analyzed extracts from two glowing mushrooms, Brazil's Neonothopanus gardneri and Vietnam's poisonous Neonothopanus nambi.
They found that both species were sticking with the traditional luciferin-luciferase playbook … kind of. They were definitely making their own proprietary blend similar to excited oxyluciferin.
But the luciferase that the mushrooms were using was, in the scientists' words, "promiscuous"—that is, it was happy to mix and mingle with multiple types of luciferin. And while the only bioluminescent fungi we know about all glow green, the researchers write that the luciferase's indiscriminate approach could lead to a rainbow of lights in different colors and intensities.
"Future work on the isolation, characterization, and heterologous expression of the luciferase will stimulate the development of fungal bioluminescence–inspired applications," the authors write. In other words, hey, we know about this bizarre thing now. We might as well use it.


In your 2011 paper on Bitcoin mining you factor in the cost of electric power. You note that botnets operate on stolen power, and conclude that "stolen electricity will drive out honest mining." However, there is another way in which electricity is being stolen. In many areas, such as China, taxpayers are forced to pay for electric power used by other people. This gives the miners free profits at the expense of those taxpayers.
With regards to your principle #1, there is a way to have both permissioned ledgers and open entry at the same time. Permission to write requires having liability insurance or a bond posted on the blockchain, but anybody can post a bond or buy insurance, which makes it open.
The bond or insurance is subject to arbitration claims. That solves the enforcement problem and eliminates your need for consensus to enforce arbitration in principle #5. The arbitration decision only needs one miner to include it in a block to become effective.
you're correct that a bond can resolve that issue. The reason that I don't like that solution is that it ties up capital, and even if the capital is available it adds a barrier of conversion from capital to bond.
Thus makes it rather hard for a large population to enter into this environment. Bonds would probably knock out all of the developing world and 90% of the OECD market as well. That's a high price to pay!
Bonds can be an option for those who don't want to obtain insurance via group membership or possibly an insurance market. Most have no problem being in a group, but some of the more individualistic, excentric, reclusive, or exceptional people do not want to be part of a group. Some of these people are on the highest end of intelligence or creativity. There needs to be a way to allow people into the system without requiring group interaction. Even if only 1% do it by posting a bond, those 1% could be some of the most valuable participants in the system.
The value of the bond need not be prohibitive. It could be variable depending on what someone wants to do in the system. Likewize, the value of insurance coverage can also be variable. It could be the measurement of trust. The single trust metric could simply be how much insurance coverage (or bond posted) does somebody have?
The blockchain protocol can use this numeric trust metric as a parameter to decide whether a paricipant is authorized to do certain actions or provide particular services to the system. Block signing is one service that could require a certain level of insurance or bond posted, but there could be many other services moderated or authorised this way. Oracle services, for instance, could require insurance or bond exceeding the finacial value of the event being oracled about. If the oracle lies, causing loss to some parties, their insurance or bond can be sued in arbitration.

Q: Word problem on selling pencils and erasers On Monday, Natsu sold 100 more pencils than erasers.
On Tuesday, the number of pencils he sold decreased by 10% while the number of erasers sold increased by 20%.
On Wednesday, the number of pencils sold increased by 10% and the number of erasers he sold decreased by 20% as compared to Tuesday.
Given that he sold 489 pencils and erasers on Wednesday, find the total number of pencils he sold over the 3 days.

A: On $M$ $$p,e$$
On $T$ $$p-p/10,e+e/5$$
On $W$  $$p-p/10+(p-p/10)/10,e+e/5-(e+e/5)/5$$ .
You can find p and e solving the system.
$$p=100+e$$
$$p-p/10+(p-p/10)/10+e+e/5-(e+e/5)/5=489$$

A: P= number of pencils and e= number of erasers.
Monday, p= 100+e
Tuesday p'= p×90%  e'= e×120%
Wednesday p"= p'×110%  e"= e'×80%
489 = p" + e"
Solve it.
489 = ( p× 90/100 ×110/100 ) + (e ×120/100 × 80/100) =  0.99p + 0.96e
Since p=100+ e,
489 = (100+e) × 0.99   + 0.96e =99 +1.95e
(489-99)/ 1.95 = e = 200
p= 100 +200 = 300

A: Let $p, e$ be the number of pencils and erasers sold on Monday, then
On Monday: $p=100+e$...(I)
On Tuesday number of pencils and erasers sold is $\frac{9p}{10}$ and $\frac{6e}{5}$
On Wednesday number of pencils and erasers sold is $\frac{99p}{100}$ and $\frac{12e}{50}$
So $\frac{99p}{100} + \frac{12e}{50}=489$...(II)
Solving (I) and (II) will give you the answer.

Q: How to declare a script to run on specific user during ssh login I was able to run a script in bashrc when any user access the server via ssh. However, I would like to run this script to specific user only.
Here is my command in bashrc.
if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]] ; then
    /home/ubuntu/xxx.sh
fi

A: You can put .bashrc file in user's home directory and it will be executed only for that user. In that way, you can achieve that it is executed for specific user. However, the user might delete .bashrc file. You can probably make it to be owned by root. Another solution is to put additional condition in global bashrc like that:
if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ] && [ $USER == "ubuntu" ]]; then
    /home/ubuntu/xxx.sh
fi

In that way, user does not have permission to change global bashrc file unless she has enough privileges.

Urban Jungle. Living and Styling with Plants by Igod Josifovic & Judith De Graff is a wonderful book on indoor plants. This is a great book for some of us who are looking for creative ways to use plants in our home decor. With the upcoming winter months, what better time to add more greenery and plants in our homes for a natural calm inside our home when it's too cold to get outside in nature.
Urban Jungle explores the world of houseplants and shows us how to decorate with them and how to keep them thriving indoors. This is done very eloquently by showcasing real families who have embraced indoor plants in their homes. The best part of these case studies is where these families live – the families featured in Urban Jungle are from ALL parts of the world. Families from England to France, to Germany, U.S, and even Istanbul, Turkey. So no matter what your climate conditions there is a relatable family that speaks to your lifestyle and home.
Most of the families featured have kids, showing us how decorating stylishly with plants can be for ever family and every lifestyle.
The book is so well organized and presented that it makes it extremely easy to get right to the inspiration or information you are looking for. Each "family case study" for lack of a better word is presented with tons of pictures of the family, how they incorporate plants in their decor, what their nature-incorporating philosophy is, and what their insights and tips are on making plants and greenery a part of their lifestyle.
The format of the book is easy to follow. Little vignettes within each family story share valuable information such as Care Tips, Stylish Tips, and Did You Know type of snippets.
Did you know for example that Oxalis Triangularis makes a great indoor plant? I've had one growing in a pot outdoors for years and had no idea I could grow them indoors. I also didn't know that the flower and leaves on this plant are edible. Such cool and interesting tidbits on plants are shared in an appealing and easy to read beautifully presented way.
I also had no idea succulents would make great indoor plants. Now I do! I'll be moving a few of my succulents indoors over the cooler months to give it a try.
How about some cool ideas. That is exactly what the authors call their cool ideas – Cool Idea! These one-pagers partake of quick and easy plant ideas one can implement in their own homes.
Wonderful artwork breaks up this fabulous gardening and decorating book and adds a bit of artsy whimsy to this gem of a read.
Urban Jungle is at its core about styling with houseplants. What better way to get right to the point on this topic by presenting it in an eye-catching way and calling it just that – Styling Tip.
To-the-point information on houseplants gives us the most relevant information to enable us to succeed in growing beautiful plants indoors.
I love the gorgeous photography in Urban Jungle. With clean fresh photos of the lushest plants in the most cheerful of bright sunny settings, the photography makes Urban Jungle a captivating and enjoyable read.
With plenty of gorgeous photos and easy to follow tips on how to take care of indoor plants, Urban Jungle will make a great reference book that any one of us can turn to again and again as we explore the world of houseplants.
Grab a copy of this outstanding book and start your own urban jungle. With the holidays coming up why not present a small potted plant along with a copy of of Urban Jungle – I know I would love a thoughtful present like that!
Urban Jungle. Living and Styling with Plants by Igod Josifovic & Judith De Graff is available at bookstores and on Amazon.
I'm putting this one on my wish list! My mom was a master of decorating our home with plants. She kept it tasteful, and sort of minimalistic, but very inviting. All her plants always looked like from a book. At least that's how I remember it.
Your Mom sounds like she had a keen decorating eye. What fond memories you have! My Mom was an avid gardener and botanist and had loads of plants indoors but she had no sense of decor so it looked more like a jungle in the home like an urban jungle 😀. I on the other hand prefer a more tasteful display of house plants. This book gave me great ideas on what type of pots look good with what platns, just a great feel good book all around!!
The photos you showed looked very tasteful. I love to have inspirational books like this one laying around.
Hi Kalpana, I went ahead and ordered the book for my friend in the UK. I'll figure out a way to ship it. Probably weighs a ton!
Your friend will love it! Yeah unfortunately books are heavy. Please let me know what her feedback is on the book once she receives it. I am so happy you found my book review helpful!
Hi Kalpana, your book review wasn't just helpful. It was inspiring! I'm not good with plants but I was so inspired that I thought about my friend.
Looks like it is a beautiful book. Will look up on Amazon.
I really enjoy going through this book for ideas on how to display plants in the home. I love the pots – I know you love potted plants too 😊, you will enjoy going through this book! Has great ideas on what plants do well inside our homes.
Hi Kalpana, a great book. I looked it up on Amazon and the authors believe the book is for everyone who wants to bring more green into their home. They don't believe in the concept of the "green thumb". They believe everyone can live with and care for plants. All one needs is the right information. Maybe there is hope then for people like me.
It's a beautiful book. I'm thinking about getting a copy for a dear friend who lives in London. Her business is taking care of plants for corporate offices.
I love this book for all its information! The photos are amazing, they transport us to wonderful parts of the world where everyone just looks happy and enthusiastic about nature indoors. I am sure your friend will love it! It has beautiful photography and makes me smile every time I peruse through the book. I hope your friend likes it!! Please let me know what her feedback is once she receives it. Thanks.

The Institute runs several other awards, including the Stirling Prize for the best new building of the year; the Royal Gold Medal (first awarded in 1848), which honours a distinguished body of work; the Stephen Lawrence Prize, funded by the Marco Goldschmied Foundation, for projects with a construction budget of less than £1,000,000, and the President's Awards for Science.
The RIBA European Award was inaugurated in 2005 for work in the European Union outside the UK. The RIBA National Award and the RIBA International Award were created in 2007.
Since 1966, the RIBA also judges regional awards given locally in the UK regions (East, East Midlands, London, North East, North West, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South/South East, South West/Wessex, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire). Inaugurated in 2001, the Manser Medal was renamed the RIBA House of the Year prize in 2014.

And there is no Hep, no HIV, no TB, no other parasites (aside from Giardia – which the wife and I both think we have). We're going to be waiting a little while on the Giardia test to come back, but I think it's a sure thing. Since I've not been able to eat much of anything for a while now without some rather "unfortunate" side effects.
Anyway, a healthy Ellery means we don't have to put her down.
One thing that I didn't mention earlier was how we just barely managed to avoid spending an extra ten days in Guangzhou. Seems we had some paper work complications. Due to an understanding with our agency we thought we had an amended I-600A form, but we didn't. This form is required for the US Consulate in Guangzhou to give us our "packet" so that Ellery would be allowed into the US and made a US citizen.
And we didn't have one.
So, the US Consulate and our agency (and our local guy Samson) all worked diligently to come up with a way for us to avoid staying in China for an extra ten days. A B-1 Visa. Which is typically a business-related Visa. Well, that did manage to get us in-country but unfortunately it didn't allow for Ellery to become a U.S. citizen the second we stepped foot into Detroit.
So now is where the lawyers come in. Seems we have to get one to figure out what to do next. Since Homeland Security in Memphis is telling us that need to keep her here two years and then fill out these other forms. Which means that she'd be an illegal alien for a year? No, not doing that.
I suppose I just needed to spend a whole ton more money on legal fees and I didn't know it. Since, I'm flush with cash after a trip to China for four people.
I'll let you know what we find out from the lawyers.
Oh, and the Flu is gone now. Thank goodness, that was a rough patch in my life – let me tell you.
Ugh. Aside from only being conscious about twice a day – I'm having some of the most insane dreams. Oh, and I recommend the Flu to anyone looking to lose weight. I haven't eaten since… oh… Wednesday. Okay, off to bed to go shiver, sweat and shiver some more.
