Q: Is it safe to remove old vmlinuz.* files from /boot In /boot there are a lot of vmlinuz.* files going back 4 years. Is it safe to remove some of these?
Edit: Most seem to have congig-3.* and System.map.* files to go with them. I would probably want to be rid of those too? Or instead?

A: They will be removed automatically if you run the following:
sudo apt-get autoremove

Update: I found a VM where I haven't run those commands in a few weeks.  Here is the output, showing that autoremove cleans up files in /boot, going from 127M in size down to 96M in size:
stephane@steph-dev-vm ~> du -hs /boot/
127M    /boot/

A: The answer appears to be that there are lots of kernels installed and I should remove them.
I removed the oldest using sudo apt-get uninstall and a wild card. Risky if you get it wrong but otherwise effective.

hahaha, love your commitment to drive through donuts =) I can never remember the names of donuts so we always have to go inside.
All donut shops should definitely have a drive thru - I'm convinced they would make a killing :) P.S. I bet the running skirt looks precious and is perfect for "running around town."


WhatsApp is currently beta testing the video-calling feature for iOS, which is only available on few devices running the beta version of the app. Android Police has put out screenshots from users, who help translate WhatsApp to different languages. The report says the users had received 'new strings to translate, including Video call' and that 'Video calling is unavailable at this time'.
While voice-calling was announced last year, it appears to be the natural next step of progression for WhatsApp. It will, however, be interesting to see how WhatsApp video calls perform on mobile Internet. WhatsApp is also working on inviting people to groups via NFC tags and QR codes. Snapchat currently has support for adding users via QR codes. A'Call Back' feature might also make its way to the platform,. Currently on WhatsApp one only sees the missed calls. Plus a 'Record Voice mail' and 'Send Voice Mail' buttons might soon appear. Also, WhatsApp users might soon be able to share ZIP files over it. Recently the app added support for users to share DOCX, DOCS, VCF and PDF files. The ZIP file sharing will prove to be a very useful feature for users as it compresses large files. WhatsApp is also end-to-end encrypted, making chats private for all users.
For WhatsApp, adding new features is no longer a question of choice, but one of necessity. With over 900 million monthly active users, the app is now as big as its parent company Facebook. Plus the messaging space has evolved drastically in the last one year or so. Rivals like Telegram, Snapchat, offer a variety of interesting features, while specialized apps like Slack have also come up, geared towards enterprise messaging. Facebook Messenger now has support for Chatbots to help connect users with businesses. We'll have to wait and see when the new WhatsApp features are rolled out and whether they will be optimized for slower networks.

HomeSportsRobinson is ready to lead a young team
Robinson is ready to lead a young team
November 13, 2014 The Duquesne Duke Sports Comments Off on Robinson is ready to lead a young team
Courtesy of Athletic Department
Sam Fatula | Arts & Entertainment Editor
With the presence of the dynamic duo famously known as "The Wo-Show" last season, it was easy to overlook the rest of the talent on the Duquesne women's basketball team. The reliance on Wumi Agunbiade and Orsi Szecsi continuously made the squad an annual conference threat, while role players contributed to the cause.
Now that Agunbiade, Szesci and Raegan Moore have all graduated, the young, developing team must look for another source of leadership and experience on the court to maintain its strong reputation in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Fortunately returning to the Dukes this season is star point guard April Robinson. Robinson finished the 2013-14 year as the third leading scorer on the team with 10.8 points per game, shooting 40 percent from the field along with a team-high 3.8 assists per game. She has the potential to make her junior year her most successful yet.
Starting nearly every game since her freshman debut two years ago under the tenure of both former coach Suzie McConnell-Serio and coach Dan Burt, Robinson is capable of adjusting to the role as the main scorer while also maintaining the initial responsibility as the facilitator. As a freshman, she was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team after being named Rookie of the Week on three different occasions. Although she is willing to take on more shots per game, Robinson knows that she can trust the women around her as well.
"We don't have Wumi or Orsi who you know you can count on," Robinson said. "But all 14 of us can score the ball, so I've been gaining confidence in each person on this court."
With confidence comes the task of being able to communicate well, and according to Robinson, one of the toughest parts of her game has always been improving on speaking to her fellow mates whenever necessary.
"Something that I really had to learn to be better at was communication," Robinson said. "My first two years here, both with Suzie McConnell, Dan Burt and everyone else has helped me communicate better not only on the court, but off the court as well. That has been one of the biggest things for the team in terms of progression."
Robinson's emphasis on communication will be tested all season long. The Dukes are welcoming a handful of new talent to the rotation this year, and will require a strong sense of leadership, especially from a fairly new starting five that has not tested the waters of conference play. Although Robinson acknowledges the team's inexperience, she remains confident about the squad's raw talent and immediate chemistry. Gone are Agunbiade and Szecsi, two goofy characters away from the court, but the upbeat attitude that's become a staple of the women's program in the last four years still remains.
"We are really young and inexperienced, but all 13 or 14 of us know how to score," Robinson said. "I think we can go as far as we want to. We're really family-oriented, which really stands out. Everyone does stuff with each other, no one is left behind, so I think that is really going to help us out on the court."
In conjunction with necessary veteran leadership and a bond to work together, Robinson's eyes are focused on one thing; finally placing Duquesne's name at the top of the A-10 by the end of this season. Seniors Belma Nurkic and Olivia Bresnahan will provide excellent outlets for Robinson on the wings, while Jose-Ann Johnson, Kyasia Duling and Stasia King will look for the junior point guard to find them in the paint as well.
When Robinson was a freshman, the Dukes advanced to the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Championship at the Hagan Arena in Philadelphia. They lost in a tightly-contested game to the host Saint Joseph's Hawks. Now a veteran to the program a full season later, Robinson said the goal remains the same: winning the A-10, which would give the team an automatic bid to the Big Dance in March.
"It's the biggest thing we haven't done yet," Robinson said. "We want to make history and go to the NCAA Tournament."

At Zahav in Philadelphia, Chef Michael Solomonov's Egg in the Hole Includes Challah
The dish combines three important Israeli ingredients: sable, challah, and egg
by Avery Dalal and Eater Video May 28, 2022, 10:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: At Zahav in Philadelphia, Chef Michael Solomonov's Egg in the Hole Includes Challah
At Philadelphia's Zahav, chef and owner Michael Solomonov and co-chef Beau Friedman have generated so much acclaim through dishes like fluke kubbeh niyeh, hummus tehina, and their signature pomegranate lamb shoulder, that reservations are booked out for months.
Something Solomonov and Friedman take pride in is putting Israeli twists on classic dishes, like egg-in-the-hole using challah bread.
"I never thought that I would make challah and that would be on the menu," says Solomonov. "But I don't know, what's better than fresh challah?"
The dish is made by sous chef Christine Fariss, who begins by weighing out each dough ball, and letting them proof after they're weighed. Once proofed, the dough is braided. Fariss likes to use cold dough in this process because warm dough becomes too pliable and may break.
"So you want to be stretching the dough each time you're pulling it," explains Fariss. "And starting in the middle gives it that beautiful football shape."
Fariss twists the braid at the end which binds it all together. From there, the challah dough will be proofed once more until it's doubled in size, and then it's baked.
"I grew up in an Ashkenazi Jewish household, so it's super comforting to see the challah being braided, and smell it come out of the oven," Friedman remarks.
Once the bread is ready, a hole is cut in the middle; an egg is cracked in the hole while the bread is on the pan. It's then cooked to the point where the egg yolk is still runny and is then topped with smoked sable, pickled green garlic, everything spice, and dried lemon.
"Sable, challah, and eggs is a very important trinity in our culture," says Solomonov.
Go watch the full YouTube video to see how Solomonov and the rest of his team at Zahav make more acclaimed dishes.

« A future for New Zealand First? | Main | NZ 2008 election review: Jack Vowles »
[Act Party history] 15: Feminising the party
The Sydney-based Kortlang Group was employed to help reconfigure the languishing Act Party in 1996. One of Kortlang's most visibly apparent recommendations was the advice to feminise the party's image. Act had obviously become associated with its prominent male leadership and much of the party's propaganda contained messages that were supposedly more orientated to males. According to Act organiser Brian Arps, 'We've been selling it with the numbers. Men are more linear thinkers, and women are more inspirational in how they think' (quoted in Campbell, 19 Nov 1994: p.16). [Read more below]
The focus groups also communicated the need for Act to feminise, particularly in terms of including women in their election advertisements:
The groups also wanted women up front – and the squat figure of Hide out the back. So in the opening five-minute tv ad, Prebble was seen introducing six of the top ACT women into Parliament. The women appeared on pamphlets and featured strongly in other 15 second ads. Marilyn Thomas, the party's Albany candidate, did all the voice-overs (Heeringa, 1996: p.27).
The leadership found that the feminisation of Act worked in well with their attempt to shift the party's appeal 'from the head to the heart' (Heeringa, 1996: p.27). The party's main slogan 'values, not politics' supposedly also appealed particularly to females. But the most overt attempt to win women's votes came from the new slogan – 'good government is good housekeeping' – deliberately conceived of to appeal to women at home and to continue the focus on selling Act on the basis of practical 'common sense'.
Despite the fact that Act had very little support from women, there was some substance to Act's new feminised image. After the election Richard Prebble declared that 'Act has the sixth-highest [political party] ratio of women in the world, and I'm told, the highest ratio of women of any party in the world that does not have a quota' (Prebble, 1997: p.5). Also, after the 2002 election it was noted that Act (along with the Green Party) actually had the highest proportion of women MPs. In comparison, Labour had 35%, National 22%, United Future 13%; and New Zealand First 7%.
Yet, the party continued to fail to win the votes of women. Even after its deliberate 'feminisation strategy', Act's 1996 support was very heavily biased towards men, with men making up 84% of the its vote (Levine and Roberts, 1997). In 1999 the party's gender support was still heavily weighted towards males, but had improved significantly.
According to Vowles, in 1999 Act had 'a 9% vote among men but only 3% among women' (Vowles, 2002d: pp.93-94). Alternatively, Nicola Reid reported that while 7% of men voted Act, only 4% of women did (Reid, 2001: p.266). However this did not stop Act putting a positive spin on its gender imbalance, saying that the party's poor results in the contest for the women's vote actually indicated 'that there was still significant potential to increase support for the party by expanding its female constituency' (Fraser and Zangouropoulos, 1998: p.50).

This morning Leoville Barton 2017 has released, a perennial favourite and leading Second growth wine from St.Julien. In 2017 it is considered to be on par with their 2016 effort, receiving 93-95 points from Neal Martin, equalling his 2016 score, whereon he says 'Seriously, this is nudging (not equalling, nudging!) the 2016 in terms of quality and there are just a handful of properties where I can state that this year.' Antonio Galloni has given it one of his highest grades with 93-96 points, equalling his 2016 score and saying 'One of the few truly exceptional Left Bank wines of the vintage, the 2017 Léoville-Barton is simply fabulous.' Lisa Perrotti-Brown seems to have underscored this by a point, awarding it 91-93+, however the addition of the plus suggests the higher end of the bracket or above will be achieved. Leoville Barton 2017 is a very fine wine, a gorgeous representation of this iconic and beloved Estate.
The price today is £654 per case of 12 or £327 per case of six, offering an attractive entry price for a leading Second Growth. Today's release price therefore reflects a 12.1% reduction on the release price of the 2016. The 2017 is comparable also to the 2009 in terms of quality, which received 93+ from bottle, to which this offers a 12.9% discount. The quality of the wine and the discount to the 2009 and 2016 make this attractive, as does its relative price when compared to the other leading Second Growths. The only thing stopping this from being a must buy is that the 2014, which scored 94 points trades today at £550, however, the 2005 which scored 92 trades at £950, a premium of 45%. There is plenty to love about Leoville Barton, a wine close to our hearts and it is selling well. It is a good buy and a wine to own.
Leoville Barton represents the archetype of great Bordeaux, each vintage is built to last, an idiom for truly great, age-worthy Bordeaux. However, the price of Leoville Barton has always remained very appealing and Bordeaux lovers will appreciate today's release price and stock up on this magnificent and venerable Chateau for the decades ahead. To put its price into perspective, Leoville Barton 2015 costs just over half the price of Sassicaia and Ornellaia on release, less than half the price of Pichon Baron and Pichon Lalande, we can expect around 115% discount to the expected release price of Leoville Las Cases. We believe strongly in the value for money in Leoville Barton 2017.
Chateau Leoville was at the time of the French Revolution the largest Estate in the Medoc, however, it was confiscated when the Marquis de Las Cases fled the Revolution. Today it occupies a quarter of the original Estate. In 1826 Hugh Barton, of successful negociant business Barton & Guestier, bought a share in the Estate with the purpose of returning it to its original owner. The Marquis de Las Cases, unfortunately, was unable to reimburse Barton for the land and so he remained the owner. Interestingly five years before, Hugh Barton had also acquired the neighbouring property of Langoa and as there was no chai on the Leoville land he was forced to vinify both the wines of Leoville and Langoa at the chai on the Langoa Estate. This practice continues to this day.
Leoville Barton has been owned by one family for almost two centuries. Since 1986 the Estate has embraced new wine making techniques and the efforts have been reflected in the wines to date. Leoville Barton is situated in the centre of St Julien and has gravely soil with a subsoil of clay. The wine is Cabernet Sauvignon dominate and has flavours of dark fruit and a nose of cedar which is typical of a wine from St Julien. Especially in recent years, Leoville Barton has a reputation of producing wonderful wines at reasonable prices and coupled with the wit and charm of Anthony Barton this is a favourite of consumers and journalists alike.


Sections of roof areas at LeMay Elementary School that were identified as in poor condition were replaced in 2018. This work in conjunction with the replacement of some of the older pieces of HVAC equipment that occurred in 2017 has taken care of some of the major items of need for the building included in the overall Bond Program. No additional immediate need work is scheduled for the building is scheduled for the next several years.

Q: Simulating the windows key as a modifier in PowerShell/CMD I'm trying to script a basic code for use on a company computer (so no extra downloads) to simulate pressing Ctrl + Shft + Win + B.

I'm trying to make a simple script to do so.
Is there any ways for PowerShell to recognize the windows key as a modifier so I can hit that key combo while remotely connected?

In honor of Earth Day this year, Starbucks is offering customers free brewed coffee or free tea if you bring your own re-usable cup, tumbler, or mug for your drink. Using personal cups is an important part of being "green." Reduce is the first of the three Rs. (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). If you bring your own cup, mug, or tumbler into Starbucks, you are reducing your consumption – you're not using a a paper cup! So please re-use your own personal tumbler!
I owe a big thank you to Hayley, a regular reader of this blog, who noticed the blurb on the Starbucks community site and pointed it out to me.
In the past Starbucks, traditionally has done something special for Earth Day, so this event is absolutely in keeping with Starbucks strong interest in corporate social responsibility. As I recall, in the past, this free coffee event has been in both the United States and Canada (and it might possibly be world-wide), and it is free coffee or tea for people with their own cup. There are no free espresso-bar beverages, and no free blender beverages (as I recall). I remember last year seeing tons of people at my local store with their re-usable cold cup getting iced tea too. I might dust off my cold tumbler too and bring it in. I might have a cup in each hand! (j/k).
I'm looking forward to free coffee! I drink plenty of brewed coffee, so this kind of event tickles me pink. Though more importantly, I hope this free coffee event will encourage some people to regularly bring in their own cup to Starbucks. We need to do this for our planet!
Shared Planet update on re-usable cups – April 2010 StarbucksMelody blog post on the percentage of customers using a re-usable cup.
Five Awesome Baristas – This is so genuine! A Starbucks partner in Canada (now a former partner) talking about C.A.F.E. practices.
Shared Planet – An introduction – This is my short, easy to read, introduction on CAFE practices is.
Starbucks is committed to being responsible and so they use the term "Shared Planet" to describe the many programs, donations, good deeds, and things they do to improve our planet. This includes things like how coffee is sourced, the volunteer hours that partners give to their communities, and the fact that there is always a cup discount when you bring your own personal, cup, mug, or tumbler into Starbucks.
While April 22, 2011, might be free coffee day, you can get ten cents off your drink every single time, every day of the week, when you bring in your own cup, mug, or tumbler for your drink.
Starbucks video – Bring in a tumbler 365 days a year, save ten cents a day and 365 paper cups.
Hope you enjoyed your friendly free coffee announcement! Who here is going to join in?

Get Your Half Off Frappuccino on Monday, December 5, 2016!!
I love Earth Day! I think it's such a brilliant idea for Starbucks to risk $ loss to do this! Great stuff!
Thanks for the heads up, Melody! I'm big on using reusable beverage containers, so this is right up my alley! No one in this day and age should be using one-time use cups.
My guess is that they will send out an email but not until April. Or maybe post something on MSI in April.
It istrue 🙂 And it is defs happening in Canada too, since that's where I am! My understanding is brewed coffee, iced coffee (if available at the store), hot tea, and iced tea are all fair game! One of my customers pointed out that Good Friday and Earth Day are the same day this year, so I'm curious to see how it affects us!!
Thanks for linking the video! So cool. I'm excited for earth day too and i can't wait to come to seattle for a couple days soon afterwards.
YAY. I usually bring in my reusable cup everyday and it's a nice way of offering a bigger discount to customers.
I guess the advertising for this promotion will be in the stores April 1? No mention of it anywhere around my local SB. Neat.
@Lorene R – Thank you for ordering the book through my site! I've sold like five or six copies of Onward plus people have bought a variety of other stuff through the Amazon widget. Let me know what you think! I can't really say thank you enough to all the people who come here and join in this community!
Re: Earth Day, I remember the first one in 1970 so clearly. It was spring of my senior yr in h.s. Everything everywhere was in such turmoil. (Kent State was about to happen in May..) I think those days get romanticized alot, generally, but if you lived thru them….not so much fun. Bad bad times…..
It's a good thing i bring my tumbler every day, i won't need to remember anything extra to get some free tea!
My understanding is that we will be offering a 20% discount on reusable tumblers that day also! We didn't really get much for promotion of it so maybe stores will whip out some chalk boards??
@Brandon – That is really great information! That's a sale I might take advantage of. Thank you for sharing that!
20% discount? I could use a new tumbler!
Melody, by "personal cups" do you mean mugs?
I see a lot of tumblers for both hot and cold drinks brought in. But have never seen someone actually bring in their own mug, although people who order a short or tall size to drink in the store are asked if they want it in a mug. I can't say for sure that no one brings in mugs because it does say on Starbucks Japan website that bringing both a tumbler or a mug will get you a 20yen discount…but I think it's rare. And a lot of the stores do have mugs for you to use.
I never leave my house without my tumbler. As a commuter who takes public transportation, I prefer to drink out of a tumbler instead of a paper cup because they really keep your coffee warm and it is impossible for the coffee to spill out of it. People have been amazed at my cup when a few times my cup slipped from my hands and dropped but nothing fell out.

Wingspan around 20 mm. It is easily distinguished with its one or two angled cross-lines and metallic golden fringe to the forewings.
Grassland, rough meadows and gardens.
This species flies in June and July. Its normal flight time is at night, when it is attracted to light. By day it rests head-down on grass stalks and is easily disturbed.
The larvae feed on the stems of various types of grasses, usually at the base.
One of our commonest 'grass moths' often abundant throughout Britain. In the Butterfly Conservation's Microlepidoptera Report 2011 this species was classified as common.


Use clothes steamer to iron clothes without frequent water Wholesalers & Suppliers - ZheJiang YuQiao Electric Co.,Ltd.
People who use ironing machines to iron clothes can find that ironing clothes using this type of equipment does not require the use of a flat iron as soon as the water is burned and it is necessary to add water again before it can continue to be used. Even some of the larger equipment can be reused for long periods of time.
The use of Garment Steamers does not require frequent water addition. This is an advantage that many users are fully aware of. It can be said that most of the equipment can be used to iron more than 50 pieces of clothes, and the number of pieces of clothing is converted into time, which is about ordinary. Households use this equipment and can add water once a week. In the case where the equipment does not need to add water frequently, on the one hand, it is relatively water-saving, on the other hand, it is relatively more convenient and simple to use, and the operation workload is not increased due to frequent water addition and the ironing efficiency is delayed.
The reason why the hanging steamer in use does not need to frequently add water is related to its working principle and is also related to its structure. From the aspect of working principle, in fact the water vapor used to achieve the purpose of ironing is not like the flat iron which needs to use the high temperature generated during the heating process of the water. The iron floor is at high temperature to achieve the purpose of ironing. The equipment needs to consume relatively less when used.
In addition, the Garment Steamer does not need to be lifted up and used like a flat iron. Therefore, the water tank can be designed to be large and the disposable equipment can be installed at a relatively high level. This can also prevent the equipment from frequently adding water when it is used.

EU says UK has made 'no move at all' on Northern Ireland Protocol
Updated / Friday, 5 Nov 2021 14:48
David Frost is in Brussels for the latest round of negotiations
By Sean Whelan
London Correspondent
The vice president of the European Commission, Maroš Šefčovič, has said he has seen no move at all from the UK side in negotiations on changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol.
He urged the British government to engage with the EU "sincerely".
Speaking after the third round of talks on the protocol, Mr Šefčovič said he found the lack of movement from the British side to be "disappointing".
He also warned the UK that triggering Article 16 of the protocol would have serious consequences.
He said the talks process will continue next week, and he will visit London next Friday.
However, Mr Šefčovič said he views next week as "an important one: we should focus all efforts on finding a solution as soon as possible". He said the aim should be to establish stability and predictability for Northern Ireland.
Mr Šefčovič said the package of changes to the protocol tabled by the Commission would "provide significant changes for operators on the ground", saying it would in effect create a type of "Express Lane" for imports from Britain that are destined only for the Northern Ireland market.
On the matter of Article 16 - the safeguard clause in the Northern Ireland Protocol - Mr Šefčovič said: "We hear a lot about Article 16 at the moment. Let there be no doubt that triggering Article 16 - to seek the renegotiation of the Protocol - would have serious consequences.
"Serious for Northern Ireland, as it would lead to instability and unpredictability. And serious also for EU-UK relations in general, as it would mean a rejection of EU efforts to find a consensual solution to the implementation of the Protocol."
Unusually the Commission vice-president made a formal statement on camera at the end of the meeting with Lord Frost, and expressed his frustrations in blunt language.
His British counterpart released a brief written statement, which said: "Lord Frost set out the UK's assessment of the negotiations on the Protocol. He underlined that progress had been limited and that the EU's proposals did not currently deal effectively with the fundamental difficulties in the way the Protocol was operating. He added that, in the UK view, these gaps could still be bridged through further intensive discussions. He underlined that the UK's preference was still to find a consensual solution that protected the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement and the everyday lives of people in Northern Ireland."
The two sides also briefly discussed the UK-French fishing dispute over fishing licences for small French vessels in waters controlled by the Channel Islands.
Lord Frost told the Commission that the UK as a whole had licensed 98% of EU vessels seeking to fish in UK waters, representing almost 1,700 vessels, in line with its obligations under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA).
He repeated that vessels must provide the necessary evidence of historic fishing activity required by the TCA in order to receive a license.
Vice-President Šefčovič said: "The Trade and Cooperation Agreement is clear: vessels that were fishing in the territorial waters of the UK and the Crown Dependencies should be allowed to continue. All French vessels entitled to a licence should receive one. I support (fisheries) Commissioner Sinkevičius in his ongoing efforts to find a solution."
Time 'running out' for deal on Northern Ireland Protocol
Earlier, Britain's Brexit minister warned that time was "running out" on talks with the European Union as the UK government threatened to suspend a deal over Northern Ireland.
"We hope to make some progress. But honestly, the gap between us is still quite significant. But let's see where we can get to," David Frost told journalists as he arrived for the latest round of negotiations in Brussels.
"Time is running out on these talks. If we're to make progress, we need to make progress soon."
The differences over Northern Ireland have embittered relations between Brussels and London and threaten to cause a trade war that could bring bilateral trade to a standstill.
Looming over the talks is Article 16 of the protocol, which gives either side the right to suspend parts of the trading arrangement in exceptional circumstances.
"We're not going to trigger Article 16 today, but Article 16 is very much on the table," Mr Frost said.
Britain has threatened to use the provision by early November if the EU does not redraw the protocol. Europe could retaliate a month later once it has done so.
UK Brexit Minister David Frost speaking to reporters in Brussels
Mr Frost insisted that the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, has to "listen" to demands to rewrite the protocol laid out by London if it wants to avert a breakdown.
The British government is pushing for major changes such as ending the oversight role of the European Court of Justice.
But Brussels refuses to renegotiate the protocol and has instead offered to ease customs checks on British goods entering Northern Ireland.
A European diplomat said the commission was increasingly readying itself for the possibility London could trigger Article 16 and warned of a "strong reaction" from the EU if that happened.
The diplomat said that might involve Brussels suspending the overall post-Brexit trade deal, a move that could plunge ties between the two sides and put them back to square one.

May 28, 2013 (FRC) - Liberals are more than happy to welcome illegal immigrants to America--it's their unborn children they object to. Last week, Democrats tried to defend taxpayer-funded abortion as part of the long list of "perks" that detainees enjoy in Homeland Security's federal detention centers.
The issue boiled over last spring when the office of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tried to slip new guidelines past Congress that would have extended a host of benefits to illegal aliens that rival the average citizens'! And these aren't your garden variety detainees. Most of the immigrants in ICE's care are convicted criminals who were transferred out of prison, where they were serving time for other charges. Even so, the Left has fought to give these detainees the best care that (taxpayers') money can offer. Before FRC drew attention to the issue last March, ICE was even prepared to offer government-sponsored hormone therapy for transgenders!
Under the Carter amendment, co-sponsored by our friends Reps. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.) and Rep. Alan Nunnelee, (R-Miss.), Homeland Security would be barred from spending a single cent of government funding on abortion. The Committee passed a similar rider last year, but--like most appropriations measures--the abortion ban didn't carry over from the 2013 funding bill. A day after Rep. Carter offered the amendment, it passed: 25-21. Now it heads to the House floor--along with the rest of the 92-page budget. "I will always support and remain committed to preserving the sanctity of life," Carter vowed, "and as a committed member of the Pro-Life Caucus, I will continue to defend human life at all stages. The provision in this amendment will continue to ensure that federal taxpayer dollars will not fund abortion."Now, the same Homeland Security that claims it doesn't have enough money for detention beds is ready to finance abortions. As Rep. Hal Rodgers (R-Ky.) pointed out, "These are grim budget times. We don't have carte blanche for even our most important security programs." All the more reason, says Rep. John Carter (R-Texas), to put the brakes on ICE's abortion funding. Last Wednesday, Congressman Carter, Chairman of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, introduced language to stop the agency's $46 billion funding bill from getting bogged down with the President's radical social policy.
Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood, who never met an abortion debate it didn't like to distort, criticized the bill for denying access to immigrant abortions. In a press release, the country's biggest abortion cartel intentionally mischaracterized Carter's amendment, claiming that it "prevents immigrant women... from making extremely personal, medical decisions."
False. It only prevents taxpayers from funding those decisions. Women in ICE's custody are not only free to abort at outside clinics--they're assigned government "escorts" for the trip. All House leaders have done is bring Homeland Security in line with the other federal appropriations provisions that block taxpayer dollars for abortion. So it's more than a little ironic when Planned Parenthood complains, "Abortion has no business being debated as a part of a Homeland Security funding bill." We agree! In fact, abortion has no business being debated as part of any government funding bill. That's why FRC supports the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 7 and S. 946), just introduced by Rep. Chris Smith and Sen. Roger Wicker. And if Planned Parenthood were sincere about women's health, they'd join us.

As owners of jacked-up trucks across our great nation know: more spring is better. But how much pressure can modern car coil springs really take?
The only machine that can answer that question without boring us with engineering diagrams or physics equations is the hydraulic press. So how far can the atom smasher compress the spring of a modern Toyota Corolla? Our leading physicists need to know.
Did the end result turn out the way you predicted? Let us know in the comments below.

Una struttura di archivio per l'insieme, per il cambiamento e per l'indeterminato è un saggio di Theodor H. Nelson, il creatore della parola ipertesto (intendendo per "iper" non tanto "collegamento" quanto "estensione") e che tentò, più modernamente, di guardare oltre il "chunk style", il modello web di ipertesto (ovvero i collegamenti statici che permettono all'utente di passare da una pagina all'altra).

Il sistema ELF
Il saggio ha inizio con un generico sommario attraverso cui Nelson spiega gli intendimenti della struttura di archivio da lui elaborata a partire dal 1960 e chiamata ELF, acronimo che sta per Evolutionary List File. Alla base di questo studio sta la precisa volontà di creare "l'archivio dei sogni", un archivio capace di soddisfare chiunque si trovi nella necessità, per lavoro o diletto, di dover utilizzare sistemi di archivi personali o manoscritti. Lo scopo è quello di creare tecniche che li manipolino, li arrangino, li riordinino, li rendano funzionali agli usi che l'utente vuole assegnare loro. L'autore ha chiari i limiti di una simile operazione: da una parte i costi elevati (seppur realisticamente ammortizzabili), dall'altra la limitata percezione del bisogno, dall'altra ancora la difficoltà di progettazione materiale. Eppure Nelson crede davvero nella necessità di un software dedicato all'intricato lavoro di archiviazione e alla manipolazione di un manoscritto; in particolare lo studioso si sofferma su quest'ultimo aspetto, mettendo in contrappunto la generale diffidenza della tradizione letteraria nei confronti della tecnologia (quasi fosse un mezzo che escluda la più autentica delle creatività) e l'effettiva assistenza che un programma del genere potrebbe fornire ad uno scrittore.
Infine Nelson elenca quelle che secondo lui sono le caratteristiche cosiddette "evolutive" (da cui il nome) dell'ELF:

 il sistema deve essere in grado di sostenere voci di ogni tipo e dimensione
 un numero illimitato di disposizioni delle voci senza limitazioni sullo schema da utilizzare ed un numero illimitato di voci per ogni disposizione
 percorsi tra una voce e l'altra con la possibilità di aggiungere annotazioni
 modifiche dinamiche e senza vincoli ad ordinamenti, etichette ed indici
 sommari dinamici (modifiche al testo in una sequenza provoca modifiche nelle altre sequenze)
 possibilità di avere versioni multiple di informazioni, annotazioni e disposizioni

Il saggio prosegue con la descrizione degli elementi dell'ELF. L'ELF propone una struttura molto semplice utilizzabile e combinabile in molti modi diversi, costruita su una specifica tecnica che lega insieme elenchi di informazioni, chiamati "zippered list", naturalmente portati a diventare confusi e disordinati. L'ELF si compone di tre elementi specifici:
 entry (voce) - unità distinte di informazioni definito dall'utente
 list (elenco) - insieme ordinato di voci definito dall'utente
 link (collegamento) - connettori, indicati dall'utente, tra due particolari voci in elenchi diversi.

Nelson passa poi a descrivere le operazioni di un archivio ELF. Infatti L'ELF mantiene esclusivamente i suoi contenuti come zippered (o unzippered). Ma la struttura di archivio deve includere anche un insieme di operazioni attraverso cui i contenuti possono essere cambiati. Queste operazioni di archivio esistono per creare, modificare, unire o rimuovere voci, elenchi e collegamenti, e per manipolare la relazione di sequenza. Le operazioni principali che ELF può garantire riguardano le varie voci (per creare nuove voci, combinate, divise e condivise tra più elenchi), gli elenchi (per creare, riordinare, ripristinare gli elenchi), i collegamenti (per creare collegamenti tra voci che sono in elenchi diversi) e le sequenze (per disporre un elenco in qualsiasi ordine si desideri).

Andando ad analizzare gli aspetti tecnici che caratterizzano ELF, lo studioso sottolinea come la descrizione di ELF richiami linguaggi per il trattamento delle liste come IPL o Lisp, sistemi di organizzazione della memoria che facilitano operazioni sequenziali su ramificazioni non predicibili o dati gerarchici. ELF, pur nella sua diversità, condivide con i linguaggi per il trattamento delle liste alcune problematiche, come ad esempio il controllo della disposizione e la denominazione degli elenchi.
Un altro aspetto tecnico considerato è la capacità di creare copie illimitate di voci ed elenchi, brillantemente risolto da ELF attraverso tecniche di unione: le diverse voci e gli elenchi non possono prendere spazi virtuali, essendo dati varianti in aggiunta all'originale. Quando una versione modificata di un elenco o di una voce viene creata, il software modifica l'originale con i cambi necessari per realizzare la versione modificata.

Molteplici e versatili sono gli usi che ELF permette. Nelson divide le applicazioni semplici da quelle più complesse.
Le applicazioni semplici riguardano la capacità di ELF di archiviare, con elenchi separati usati per categorie, tracce, ecc. Ciò permette un'indicizzazione incrociata attraverso l'assegnazione di una voce ad elenchi diversi e consente la creazione di sottoinsiemi e sottosequenze che possono essere tenuti separati ed esaminati senza disturbare gli elenchi dai quali sono derivati.
Le applicazioni complesse prevedono l'adattabilità di ELF alle esigenze, le più svariate, di chi lo usa. L'utente può definire qualsiasi metodo adatto alle sue necessità. Può essere progettato un numero di diverse sistemazioni, usando solamente gli elementi di base voce, elenco e collegamento. Gli elenchi zippered possono essere assemblati in matrici rettangolari, reticolati e configurazioni più intricate. A queste unioni di elenchi possono essere assegnati significati vari dal medesimo utente ed il sistema li consentirà al fine di essere conservati, visualizzati, analizzati e aggiornati per correzioni o cambiamenti. È pertanto possibile incorporare, in un corpo di informazioni archiviato in ELF, i vari livelli di un indice, di un sommario, di una spiegazione e di un commentario. Inoltre, l'ELF è capace di immagazzinare molti testi in parallelo, se sono equivalenti o collegati in qualche modo. E la capacità di ordinamento incrociato dell'ELF permette il confronto di testi affini per il confronto e la comprensione. Infine l'ELF può essere un aiuto all'intelletto in fase creativa, potendo permettere all'utente di comparare sistemazioni ed alternative con qualsiasi precedente ideale.

Il linguaggio PRIDE
Nelson spiega poi il sistema PRIDE ("Personalize Retrieval Indexing and Documentation Evolutionary"), un linguaggio di informazioni che ha lo scopo di facilitare l'uso di ELF. Il PRIDE include tutte le operazioni di ELF e, per sicurezza e convenienza, anche tutte le operazioni inverse (per permettere all'utente di recuperare un errore fatto, tipo una cancellazione non voluta). Il PRIDE è una sorta di primo "piano", un linguaggio indipendente dalla missione primaria di manipolare archivi e manoscritti, come già descritto, e dalle applicazioni secondarie di ordinamento e documentazione degli altri generi di informazioni complesse.

Conclusioni
Infine Nelson descrive la filosofia che caratterizza il suo studio, focalizzando l'attenzione su due principali considerazioni: la prima è che complesse strutture di archivio come l'ELF rendono possibile la creazione di complessi e significativi nuovi mezzi di comunicazione, l'ipertesto e l'hyperfilm; la seconda è che strutture di archivio evolutive come l'ELF rendono possibile il monitoraggio di cose che stanno cambiando in continuazione senza la nostra consapevolezza. L'autore spiega, in ultimo, il significato di ipertesto, la parola che definisce un corpo di materiale scritto o  illustrato interconnesso in un modo talmente complesso che non può essere presentato in modo adatto o rappresentato su carta.

I am fresh off the plane from Hollywood, CA where I got to attend the world premiere of Pete's Dragon. If you missed my earlier deets on this very special trip, you can check it out here. But in case you've been hiding under a rock, Pete's Dragon is the newest Disney film that is hitting theaters across the nation this Friday August 12th. I was blessed with the opportunity to attend the red carpet world premiere of the movie. And you know that anything Disney does is truly magical.
I decided to snap and post this selfie before heading down to meet the rest of the crew. This was a last minute outfit change and I'm so glad it worked out.
I got to join 24 other fabulous and phenomenal bloggers on this trip. I was excited to meet and connect with so many new mommy & one daddy (Hey Mitch!) blogger friends. I was definitely a little nervous going in as I felt like the lone rookie. LOL But I truly enjoyed everyone I met, and they were all so welcoming, helpful and fun to hang out with. I loved seeing how all the different shades of green came together. Check out the green carpet.
Bloggers gather on the red carpet for the world premiere of Disney's Pete's Dragon.
It was truly amazing to be able to experience this side of the Disney magic, and the buzz and excitement that is Hollywood.
Earlier that day we got to watch some sneak peeks of Moana. So it was truly a treat to (literally) bump into the Moana star, Auli'i Cravalho on the red carpet. She is super sweet, can't wait to share the interview with her.
While in LA, we also got to take a private tour of the historic El Capitan Theatre, the morning after we watched the world premiere of Pete's Dragon. With so many people at the premiere, we really didn't get to experience and get a feel for the inside of the theatre. So I was happy about the tour. Listen…they had me at "Welcome Mommy Bloggers".
I had no idea how rich in history and culture this theatre was until we took the tour. El Capitan just recently celebrated 90 years. I feel like I've been doing movies all wrong after experiencing this special movie-going experience at El Capitan. I don't know about the movie theaters where you live, but they definitely don't open up the show like this at the theaters where I live. We were told that back in the day, the more curtains you had, the more luxurious the theatre was.
Tomorrow, I'll be sharing my full review on the film itself. Be sure to share and watch the trailer below.
And if you missed it, click here to download these adorable Pete's Dragon themed activity sheets for your little one.
Thank you Disney for a truly memorable experience!
For all of the latest, follow Pete's Dragon on Facebook, Twitter (#PetesDragon), and Instagram.
Will you be taking the family to see Pete's Dragon this weekend? Whar are some other Disney films you've been most excited about watching?
Disclosure: On behalf of Disney, I was invited to attend an all-expense paid trip to cover the world premiere of Pete's Dragon. As always, all opinions are my own.

LOL that green screen pic had me cracking up! Yeah, I don't think my youngest (5) will be ready to watch it but she's super sensitive (she cried when Nemo and Dory got lost LOL). But my other two are definitely excited about it.
I am so glad that we were able to meet at this fantastic event. Your dress and jewelry were gorgeous and I think the picture with you on Elliott is hilarious. You can claim you have special powers.

In a large heavy pan, brown the shanks on all sides, turning them after 5-8 minutes on each side. You'll be able to brown the short sides if you help prop one shank with the other. If you have the room, you can brown them all in the same pan. Set aside.
Pour off all the lamb fat from the pan. Place the butter and cut onions into the pan and cook the onions for 5-8 minutes until golden. Put the shanks back in the pan and add the cinnamon sticks, cloves, salt, pomegranate juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar and water. (If you're using 2 pans, you'll have to duplicate all the ingredients for the other pan with the shanks.) Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 hours. Check the pan once in a while to check on the liquid; it should be halfway up the side of the lamb, and add pomegranate juice and water at a 2:1 ratio if the lamb still needs time to cook. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes if necessary, but don't overcook. Once cooked, the meat will be tender and falling off the bone. Remove the shanks and set aside.
To the sauce, add 2 tablespoons of quince jam and simmer the until reduced in half. If the sauce becomes too sweet, adjust with fresh lemon juice to bring back some of the tang. You can strain the sauce from the onions or leave them in. Pour some of the sauce over the shanks before serving just to give them some shine and set the rest of the pomegranate sauce at the table.

Energy giant Drax Power has pleaded not guilty to allegations that wood dust from its biomass pellets posed a risk to employees' health.
In September 2021, Sky News revealed the energy producer was facing criminal prosecution by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for two alleged offences.
Appearing via video link at Leeds Crown Court, Dominic Kay QC, representing Drax Power Ltd, today pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Drax is accused of exposing employees to wood dust at its Selby plant - where it burns woody biomass to generate electricity - thereby risking their "health, safety and welfare at work".
It is also charged with failing to make a suitable risk assessment before allowing employees to work with potentially "hazardous substances" at the biomass power station, which is the largest of its kind in the UK.
The case was initially heard at Leeds Magistrates' Court before being transferred to the crown court.
The trial was today scheduled for June 2023.
Watch the Daily Climate Show at 8.30pm Monday to Friday on Sky News, the Sky News website and app, on YouTube and Twitter.
The show investigates how global warming is changing our landscape and highlights solutions to the crisis.

German Bundestag creates new commissioner to address rising anti-Semitism
(JNS) The German Bundestag on Thursday passed legislation to establish a new commissioner to handle the issue of rising anti-Semitism in the country.

The bill was backed by several major German parties—including Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Free Democrats—in an effort to implement a strategy to root out anti-Jewish sentiment and crime as part of a 17-point proposal.
According to the bill, the parties have stated that anti-Semitic crimes "could still mainly be attributed to the far right, but that migration from the Middle East and North Africa had exacerbated the problem," the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle reported.
Volker Kauder, the CDU's parliamentary head, said that given Germany's history, decisive action against anti-Semitism is a national priority. He said it is "shameful" that Jewish institutions need to be protected by police and that some German Jews are afraid to openly identify as Jewish in public.
"That's something we can't tolerate in our country," Kauder told the German TV program Morgenmagazin.
Many Jewish community members and other observers attribute rising anti-Semitism in Germany to an influx of Muslim migrants hailing from countries with deep-rooted hatred of Jews and Israel, as well as the rise of far-right political parties. A study released last month by the American Jewish Committee, which was based on interviews with 68 migrants from Iraq and Syria as well as follow-up interviews with 85 additional respondents, found that anti-Semitic "thought patterns and stereotypes were very widespread throughout all the interviews."
German Jewish leaders, who have long called for the new commissioner, praised the creation of the post.
"The lawmakers have sent a clear signal that they take the concerns of the Jewish community seriously," Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said in a statement. "The fight against anti-Semitism is a task for all of us."
Schuster added that it is important to address the issue of anti-Semitism "whether it comes from the middle of society, from right-wing extremists, or Muslims and Israel-haters" such as activists from the BDS movement, which has also been growing in Germany.

Ireland has ordered all schools to close on Monday as the country braces for an "unprecedented storm" with the arrival of Ophelia, the largest hurricane ever recorded so far east in the Atlantic Ocean.
"In response to the imminent Storm Ophelia, the Department of Education and Skills is now publicly informing all schools, colleges and other education institutions that they are to remain closed tomorrow, Monday 16 October," the department said in a statement.
The decision followed discussions with the government's emergency planning task force and advice "on this unprecedented storm" from Ireland's Met Eireann national weather service, the statement added.
Met Eireann issued a nationwide "status red" alert and warned of "potential risk to lives" when the storm hits daytime Monday.
Although Ophelia will weaken as the storm travels over cooler seas towards the west coast of Ireland, Met Eireann forecast "violent and destructive gusts".
Heavy rain and storm surges are expected to lead to flooding.
An amber wind warning has been issued for Northern Ireland between 1400 GMT and 2100 GMT, when gusts could reach up to 130kph (80mph).
"By the time Ophelia reaches our latitudes, she will be weakening and will be an ex-hurricane," said Steve Ramsdale, chief forecaster at Britain's Met Office national weather service.
"However, Ex-Ophelia will be bringing some significant impacts to Northern Ireland and western and northern Britain on Monday and Tuesday."
Scotland, Wales and parts of England were under yellow warnings issued by the Met Office, which forecast "very strong winds" and heavy rain in some areas.
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Sunday that defence forces were being deployed to areas due to be hit by the storm.
It was classed Category 3 on Saturday as it passed near Portugal's Azores islands, which means it packed winds of at least 178km per hour.
When Ophelia reaches Ireland on Monday it is expected to weaken to a "post tropical storm", according to the US National Hurricane Centre.
"Mean wind speeds in excess of 80kph (50mph) and gusts in excess of 130kph (80mph) are expected, potentially causing structural damage and disruption, with dangerous marine conditions due to high seas and potential flooding," it said.
Flights, ferries and buses all face disruption. Cork Airport in southwest Ireland said "cancellations are likely" and urged passengers to check with their airlines in advance of travel.
Matt Crofts, a lifesaving manager with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, said the seas could be "particularly dangerous and unpredictable".
"Stormy conditions may be tempting to watch but big waves can easily knock you off your feet.
"We understand why people want to experience extreme weather, but it's not worth risking your life, so we strongly urge people to respect the water and watch from a safe distance."
Several flights between the islands or to the Portuguese mainland were cancelled, affecting about 800 passengers. By VIETNAMNEWS.
