Want an activity that'll make the culture vultures and the party princesses happy at the same time? Spring the Oxford Pub Treasure Hunt on them! Why do bog standard sightseeing when you can mix it up with some fun?
The pub treasure hunt is what happens when you combine a pub quiz, sightseeing and a scavenger hunt. Keeping all the girls on the hen weekend entertained during the daylight hours can be a tough task. The party girls don't want to spend hours walking around the city looking at landmarks, while the culture chicks want to be out experiencing history instead of downing cocktails all day. Give them the best of both worlds. You'll need an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. This is a self-run activity, so you can do it at your leisure - so no getting out of bed at the crack of dawn!
The memories you make on your hen do will be the ultimate treasure.
When you're ready to kick things off, get the girls around. Split up into teams, take your team pic and upload it to the app. That'll get the clock started! Answer pub trivia questions that'll lead you to the Bodleian Library, play pub games that'll take you round the Radcliffe Camera and do a top notch selfie challenge at Oxford Castle. On the way to all the big landmarks, there will be plenty of stops at the local pubs. After all, this city has dozens of 'em it would be criminal not to pop into a few!
Keep an eye on the leaderboard though. Stopping off for one too many cocktails might let the other team take the advantage! There's a live leaderboard to let you know where the other team is an who's leading the charge round the city. At the end of the hunt your hen party will be quite squiffy, in the mood to keep the party pumping into the evening and your task at bonding them will be complete. Win!

1 tsp. xanthan gum--I use this because I use it VERY infrequently. Check this out for another opinion.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, vinegar, coconut oil, beaten egg and vanilla until combined.
Pour liquid mixture over dry cocoa mixture and stir by hand until all the flour is just incorporated. Stir in the zucchini followed by boiling water. The mixture will be thin.
Fill muffin liners 3/4 of the way full, sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake for 15-20 minutes until tops spring back and a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
I know this dish looks ridiculously complicated, but the hardest part is just working out the timing. I've tried to pace this recipe for you so you can get everything together on the table at once. Just read the recipe before you start and you should be good to go. After having lunch at Rustic Bakery in the Country Mart in Larkspur we went to Bel Campo Meat Co. to see if they had anything we wanted for dinner that night. I had bought some osso bucco there last week and made the recipe from this blog and it came out outstanding. While I think the prices at Bel Campo are a tad high, the meat is really worth it as an indulgence every once in a while. They are starting to sell poultry on a regular basis and they had a few ducks that looked meaty so I thought I'd give it a go. A lot of duck recipes call for a fair amount of sugar but I was able to modify one using virtually none and the duck came out great. From start to finish it will take about 2 hours, so do this on a Sunday, drink a glass of wine, check your social networking when stuff is cooking--it'll be a thing. The gravy was the big tie in so be sure to take the extra 10 min. to pull it together.
2 Green Cooking Apples (1/2 pound)--Granny Smiths are looking great right now!
1-2 Tablespoon olive oil/coconut oil/extra credit if you use the duck fat skimmed from the roast!
Take duck from bag and remove neck and giblets and excessive fat from the cavity of the duck. Reserve for other uses. Rinse duck under cool water; dry duck. Sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper and thyme.
In a deep roasting pan, place duck breast side up on a rack. Prick breast with tines of fork being careful not to pierce meat. Roast 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350° F. Cover duck loosely with aluminum foil and roast until just tender -- about 1-1/2 hours.
Wash and peel sweet potatoes; wash and core apples. Cut both into 1-inch chunks. In a quart casserole dish combine sweet potatoes, apples, cinnamon, (walnuts), and butter (or coconut oil). Place in oven with duck and bake for 45 mins. I recommend putting this in about 10 min. before pulling the foil from the duck. Stir about half way through cooking time to avoid burning.
Prep your greens so you can cook them at or just before the time you are working on the gravy.
Wash, dry and remove the tough stems from the greens. Chop the greens roughly. Chop the onion and garlic and set aside.
Remove foil from duck and brush with apple juice and pan drippings. Roast until golden brown and glazed - about 20 minutes longer. Brush with juice and pan drippings several times during baking.
Remove duck to serving platter and keep warm. Skim off fat in roasting pan--reserve this for the greens if you want. Add apple juice, remaining salt, pepper, and thyme. Place pan on burner. Bring to a boil. Simmer 5-10 minutes to make apple gravy. Using a whisk, sprinkle arrowroot powder into roasting pan and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally to keep from scorching.
For the greens: in a large covered pan saute the onion in the fat for a couple of minutes until soft. Add the garlic until fragrant, no more than a minute. Add the greens, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, optional red pepper, stir to combine then cover and let steam for about 15 mins.
Spoon stuffing and greens around duck and serve with apple gravy.
"Susan, do you have a grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free muffin recipe you like?"
I love to bake, it was the first experience I had in the kitchen growing up and I used to make cakes and cookies "from scratch." Moving into baking with gluten-free, nut, and coconut flours have taken some adjustment, not to mention moving away from dairy sources of fat. I think texture is the hardest thing to emulate, nothing really compares to the heft and lightness that butter and wheat flours bring to pastry. So we're going to focus on how good these muffins taste on their own, not how they compare to muffins made with wheat flour. These are light and a little "spongy" due to the large amount of eggs needed when using coconut flour. Beccause of all the eggs, they are a decent source of protein as well. I suspect, since I was eating these with bacon--they would be outstanding with bacon bits actually baked into them or sprinkled on top. Maybe next time I'll do them that way and adjust the recipe accordingly. For now, these are muffins that I would make when I'm craving "carbs" in a more substantial way.
Sift the coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices together into a small bowl. Set aside.
Whisk in coconut flour mixture and applesauce until well blended. Batter will be thick. Pour batter among the muffin tins lined with paper liners above 3/4. These won't rise a lot, but make sure you fill the cups evenly.

Released in September 2010, this massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) is also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online. Developed and published by Square Enix, this game has lived up to the hype.
The Nobuaki Komoto designed game is available in the latest version, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. The game, which is built around a compelling story, grips the player from the onset. The game starts with an aesthetically pleasing Kimono clad female asking Othardian peasants to rise and represent the Garlean Empire. Only one man heeds the call, but instead of things going as planned, he suffers unprecedented loss, some, at his own hand.
In the Final Fantasy XIV series, Stormblood is perhaps Square Enix's best creation to date. Given that the backstory is a relatable tragedy, it reels in audiences from all walks of life. The cruelest points of the story shape are out as one of the finest creations whilst appealing to players who are more aligned with gothic themes and surprising peace loving players. With one of the best gaming graphics, Stormblood does not shy away from showing poverty stricken villagers in distress. As the film unapologetically zooms into places where gory fights are bound to erupt, I can't help but marvel at the developer's boldness in exploring scenes that other games usually brush under the carpet.
One of the most striking features that come with Stormblood is perhaps the exploration of new lands. There are also two new classes that are gradually introduced to the gamers as the explicit tale unravels over a sequence of dungeons, quests, and trials. I must say, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is fierce and not for the faint hearted. The version goes into detail showing Ala Mhigo with its sandy battlefields, and the landscape is shown in a manner never seen before, not even in the Final Fantasy XIV's 2013 relaunch. The besieged Ala Mhigo battlefields are the highlight of levels 60 to 70, thus making this zone easily the most enjoyable to maneuver.
The certifiably excellent graphic in Stormblood easily blends in with the clear view of Asian culture that accompanies the new culture and settings. Final Fantasy XIV seems to improve with each new version. This observation is augmented by the show of high-end scenes in Stormblood. Here, at this point, the story easily comes across from every battle scene. The port of Kagane (which has a Japanese-inspired setting) which is the only port that openly welcomes foreigners has unprecedented scenes a game could possibly possess. Also, when playing over the wild plains of the Azim Steppe tells the story of epic proportions that have never been seen before in an action game, when the Au Ra tribes fight to select their next leader in Naadam, a Mongolian-inspired area.
Matter-of-factly, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood tends to be more realistic than it is fantasy. Due to the fact that the game is based on a seemingly-actual story, with settings that are inspired by real life settings, this game can easily manipulate with and play around gamers' feelings. When the peasants get manipulated, abused and trampled on by the imperial soldiers and other authoritative figures in the game, it is quite easy for a player to find their emotions well up.
However, one thing is always certain when playing this game. And that is the quick changes that come with each level. When playing underwater quests, there are new characters there that easily hook a player into a completely new setting. The characters under water include ninja turtle lookalike denizens as well as different fishes. As the levels increase, so does the surprises. Frankly, Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is worth investing one's time and emotions into. The game is set up in such a way that the highly dangerous and challenging combinations are at higher levels. Thus, by the time the player gets to the top levels, they would have earned their stripes and be worthy of such creativity. In Stormblood, the Samurai is one damage-oriented melee class that is easily accepted and loved by dedicated players who have always yearned for the 'X-factor' within the game.
Always set in a high fantasy setting, Final Fantasy XIV takes place on planet Hydaelyn which is an upgrade and huge gap from previous releases of the Final Fantasy franchise. Due to the existence of three distinct terrains (desert-based Ul'dah sultanate, the thalassocracy of Limsa Lominsa, as well as the forest nation of Gridania) in the Eorzea planet, Final Fantasy XIV has a lot of room to play around and indicate the highest level of creativity in a manner never seen before. Of course, just like any other excellent game, you might easily be annoyed with the Final Fantasy XIV's side quests. However, the undeniably enticing storyline, beautifully contrasted combat classes, as well as full-fledged battles, are what keeps this game ahead of other RPGs of the present era.

'A World In Isolation' is keeping the world connected
A photography project spearheaded by local tattoo artist Jaya Suartika is fostering international connection despite the coronavirus seemingly making our world smaller.
Words: Angela Skujins
Main Image: Jaya Suartika by Jessica Clark
SPECIAL REPORT: COVID-19 ADELAIDE
In December last year, Jaya Suartika was tattooing his signature structured tribal patterns on New Yorkers as part of a month-long residency at Saved Tattoo.
The tattoo artist and owner of contemporary Adelaide-based tattoo studio XO L'Avant was due to return to New York in April for another residency and follow it up with a stint in Berlin two months later.
However, due to national COVID-19 measures – which have banned international travel and halted the tattooing industry – 36-year-old Jaya hasn't tattooed a client in over three weeks.
A World In Isolation is a global photography project that aims to document these unprecedented times unifying human culture during COVID-19.
Follow Jaya's tattoo page and the project on Instagram.
His travel plans have also been put on hold.
Jaya considers the current economic climate a "fucking mess" for sole traders and those within the creative industries, and explains that some of his friends within the tattoo realm have been forced to permanently close.
He hints that this is "potentially" on the cards for XO L'Avant, but in the meantime he's personally trying to find ways to be proactive.
"I'm just gonna stay at home and kind of keep creative and not go crazy," Jaya says.
One of the ways Jaya is doing this is through his international arts project, A World in Isolation.
"I was in the middle of doing a film swap with another tattooer buddy in America, and I was chatting with him on Instagram and I was like, 'How cool would it be to get strangers and link them up and do a film swap to document the times?'" he explains.
"That kind of just kind of triggered this thought: a film swap.
"I made the website and shared it around the place, and it somehow made it onto Reddit. People were kind of emailing in and registering from Norway, Sweden, China, Hong Kong, UK, Canada, America and around Australia."
A World In Isolation launched two weeks ago with an aim to chronicle how individuals around the world are coping with being withdrawn from the wider world, and what their life looks like right now.
As famous landscape photographer Ansel Adams said, "you don't take a photograph, you make it", and A World In Isolation works in the same vein. The project goes one step further than just taking photos and aims to combine narratives.
"I thought it would be cool to kind allow other people to see what's happening in other people's worlds and then kind of mash it all together," Jaya says.
He explains that the only requirements for submissions is that images must be double-exposed (a process where one film photo is overlaid with another image, so two photos become one) and must be accompanied by some kind of story, which may be poetry or prose.
This double exposure process can be done with analogue film, but digital submissions, altered online with programs like Adobe Photoshop, are also welcomed.
"I try and pair people up from other parts of the world so they're not in the same city," Jaya says.
"Some people in the states are home developing and some camera stores are still open and taking deliveries and then delivering the photos back to them – like PhotoCo in the Central Markets are doing that.
"But the main idea was to capture images from someone's isolation and document it along with a story. So I feel like as long as it has those two ideas within the submission – text and a photo – then I'm going to be pretty stoked."
The projects other rules are: all photos on the roll must be taken within 24 hours of the first shot; all photos must be taken of or within your world of isolation; stories must be relevant to you directly and the more personal the better; aim to have prompt correspondence with your photography partner (non-applicable to solo entrants), time is not on our side; and "get creative!"
The submissions for the project so far are abstract: there's a concrete bust overlaid with an image of a COVID-19 restriction sign, and another shot has wine glasses flanked by the silhouette of trees at dusk.
Above: Both images supplied by Jaya Suartika
What may be ordinary objects to those who see them regularly is refreshing to others.
Jaya aspires to publish a book when all the photographs have been collected; however, there is no end in sight for when the project will finish, as he, like the rest of us, is not sure when life will return to normal.
What he does know is that this project is important for individuals like him who need a task to feel connected.
"This can be one of the things that can help fill the time if they're in a situation where isolation can feel really isolating," he says.
"It could be a flop, I don't know. But it could be really cool."

How Geology Discoveries Slowly Prove We're Not Alone in the Universe
For hundreds or thousands of years, it is still unknown if extraterrestrial entities do exist. Are aliens real? Or are they just a form of fiction? Significant geology discoveries, however, start to prove that we are not alone in the universe or on earth. Below are some findings that aliens could be real:
Oumuamua – Solar System's First Interstellar Visitor
In 2018, scientists were surprised when a mysterious interstellar object, called Oumuamua, was spotted in the solar system, leading to countless theories.
Upon close observations, the cigar-shaped object was accelerating as if something was pushing it. For that reason, experts believed it was propelled by an alien machine, according to a Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb.
But other scientists opposed his theory. They thought that the acceleration of the interstellar object was because of a natural phenomenon. A team of researchers suggested that the acceleration was likely due to an invisible hydrogen blast on the object's surface.
New research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute astrophysicist Thiem Hoang and Loeb explained that the hydrogen could not work in reality. Thus, there's a high chance that aliens visited our solar system.
Another astrophysicist, Darryl Seligman, believed that Oumuamua was a comet as it moved like one. Here's the problem. It does not tailor the classic coma of a comet, raising questions from the other scientists. So, let us hope for the best.
UFO Witnessed By the US Navy or Department of Defense
Before the Oumuamua, the US Navy or Department of Defense captured a strange wingless aircraft that looked like a piece of alien machinery in 2004 and 2015.
But the American intelligence officials did not find any evidence proving that the aerial phenomena were alien spacecraft.
The military and the scientists were also unable to explain the bizarre movements of the unidentified aircraft.
The incidents in the past decades did not come from any US government and American military technology. Some experts said that the aircraft could be from China and Russia. A senior official in the department of defence that Russia and China might be doing some experiments on hypersonic technology. Still, it requires further evidence to prove such a claim. So, what's your thought?
A Mysterious Beam of Energy from Proxima Centauri
In 2019, astronomers detected 980 MHz radio waves at Australia's Parkes telescope, established to hunt or explore radio signals beyond our solar system, where the country spent around $100 million.
Unfortunately, the 980 MHZ signal was never detected because the band or radio waves lacked signs from human-made satellites and other crafts.
The narrow beam radio waves came from the Proxima Centauri, a low-mass star that hosts a gas giant and a rocky world approximately 17% larger than the Earth. It is also surprising to know that the latter is located in the habitable zone of the star. Scientists believe that the possibility of liquid water is higher than expected.
Experts reported that the unexplained signal resembled the movement of a planet. But it is not final yet as researchers are still looking into other factors, including human technology, hydrogen cloud, and comet.
A Quarter of the 53 Exoplanets are Considered Ocean Worlds
You perhaps have encountered ocean worlds in your physics class. What is it, though? Can you still recall? As the name implies, it is classified as those having a good amount of water, which is not uncommon in the solar system.
A good example is the Earth. Aside from that, Saturn has a moon Enceladus that is believed to have watery geysers. Jupiter is also added to the list, where its moon Europa is thought to have vast seas.
Because of that, scientists planned to send a probe to land on Enceladus and Europa by the 2030s.
But in June 2020, a study on around 53 exoplanets of the same size as the Earth was published. First, researchers looked into their size, mass, distance from the star, surface temperature, density, orbit, and other factors. Then, they found that around a quarter of the 53 exoplanets could qualify as ocean worlds.
There's a High Chance that the 1,004 Nearby Stars are Watching the Earth
We have been looking for extraterrestrial entities for centuries, in which the NASA or the government have been spending billions of dollars.
But have you ever thought that the extraterrestrial entities we have been searching for could be doing the same thing?
Researchers reported that the 1,004 nearby stars are in excellent condition to study the Earth. The lead author and associate professor at Cornell, Liza Kaltenegger, said that if observers from the planets that orbit the stars could find signs of a biosphere in our atmosphere.
With state-of-the-art or high-end tools that astronomers use, extraterrestrial entities could identify that the Earth has an excellent level of water and oxygen. Therefore, other organisms might already be living on our planet. We never know. Again, it requires more pieces of factual and credible evidence.
The Clouds of Venus Might Have the Presence of Alien Bacteria
In September of 2020, the online world went wild when news on evidence of life in the clouds of Venus have circulated in the media.
Researchers found a tremendous amount of a rare and poisonous gas called phosphine linked to living organisms.
They also explained that any terrestrial bacteria like phosphine could thrive in planets with the most challenging conditions, which could imply that the presence of extraterrestrial entities in the clouds of Venus is not possible.
As a result, many people are not convinced of alien bacteria on the planet. But the government needs to allocate more funding on this type of study to discover something beyond our imagination.
So, what's your thought? Are we not alone in the universe? Do aliens or UFOs exist? More research on any of these geology discoveries can play a critical role.

Q: DNS. Разные ответы разным IP Есть сервер с установленным DNS-сервером BIND9. В организации некоторые зоны (пусть это будет, для примера, google.com) должны блокироваться, поэтому BIND выдаёт для них IP-адрес заглушки.

*

*Как сделать, чтобы для определённых IP-адресов BIND выдавал не адрес заглушки, а "настоящий", запрашивая его у внешних серверов?

*Как сделать, чтобы для определённых IP-адресов и определённых поддоменов (например, play.google.com) BIND выдавал не адрес заглушки, а настоящий, но в то же время все остальные поддомены перенаправлял на заглушки?

A: Для выдачи разных ответов разным клиентам вам надо настроить view. Для этого в named.conf делаем примерно такие действия:
acl "granted" {     -- Объявляем ACL описывающую клиентов, для которых нужны особые правила
     10.0.64.0/24;
     10.10.10.5;
};

Все настройки, касающиеся описания зон, включая зоны hint выносим в view, причем большинство настроек в view дублируем. Если зон много имеет смысл вынести их описания в отдельный файл и включать его include:
/* view для избранных, должна стоять первой */
view "granted" {
 match-clients {granted;};  /* Тут имя ACL с "особыми" клиентами */
 recursion yes;
 allow-recursion { any; };
 zone "." in {type hint; file "/var/bind/root.cache";};
 zone "example.com." {type master; file "pri/example.com";};
 ...
 include "/etc/bind/z.named.conf";
};

/* view для всех остальных */
view "all" {
 match-clients {any;};
 recursion yes;
 allow-recursion { any; };
 zone "." in {type hint; file "/var/bind/root.cache";};

 zone "google.com" {type master; file "pri/google.blackhole";}; /* Тут зона-заглушка */

 zone "example.com." {type master; file "pri/example.com";};
 ...
 include "/etc/bind/z.named.conf";
};

Это решит вашу первую проблему, т.е. для клиентов с IP указанных в ACL "granted" описан отдельный взгляд на мир, где может не быть заглушек или быть не такие заглушки как у остальных.
С вторым вопросом сложнее, потому как решить его "правильно" в bind нельзя (или мне не известно как). А для "не правильного" решения нам придется описать настоящие правильные ответы в своем файле для зоны-заглушки. При этом там возможно придется описать даже ip-адреса, а это значит, что за зоной постоянно надо будет следить, на случай если оригинальный сайт изменит свои настройки. Для тестовой заглушки всего google.com кроме play.google.com мне пришлось сделать следующее описание зоны:
$TTL 432000     ; 5 days
@       IN     SOA      @    email.ru. (
                        2004100602
                        21600       ; Refrash 6 hours
                        1800        ; Retry 30 min
                        1209600     ; Expire  2 weeks
                        432000 )    ; Minimum 5 days

È il figlio di Aiva Aparjode, ex slittinista e bobbista di livello internazionale, ed è fratello di Kendija Aparjode, a sua volta slittinista di alto livello.

Biografia
Pratica lo slittino dall'età di 8 anni e nel 2013 ha iniziato a gareggiare per la nazionale lettone nella specialità del singolo.

Si distinse nelle varie categorie giovanili vincendo medaglie e trofei in quasi tutte le competizioni a sua disposizione: due medaglie d'oro ai mondiali juniores (gara a squadre a Lillehammer 2015 e singolo a Sigulda 2017) più una d'argento; due medaglie d'argento e altrettante di bronzo agli europei juniores, equamente ripartite tra singolo e staffetta mista. Ha inoltre vinto l'oro alle Giochi olimpici giovanili invernali di Lillehammer 2016 nel singolo e la classifica generale della Coppa del Mondo giovani nel 2013/14. È infine giunto secondo nella graduatoria finale della Coppa del Mondo juniores nel 2015/16.

A livello assoluto ha esordito in Coppa del Mondo nella stagione 2016/17, il 27 novembre 2016 a Winterberg, piazzandosi al 23º posto nel singolo; centrò il suo primo podio il 19 febbraio 2017 a Pyeongchang, dove concluse la gara a squadre al terzo posto con i compagni Ulla Zirne, Andris Šics e Juris Šics. Vinse la sua prima gara il 13 gennaio 2019 nella competizione a squadre e sempre a Sigulda, con la sorella Kendija, Oskars Gudramovičs e Pēteris Kalniņš. In classifica generale come miglior risultato si è piazzato al decimo posto nel singolo nel 2019/20.

Ha partecipato a due edizioni dei Giochi olimpici invernali: a  ha concluso in undicesima piazza nel singolo ed al settimo posto nella gara a squadre ed a  è giunto quinto nell'individuale ed ha conquistato la medaglia di bronzo nella staffetta.

Ha preso parte altresì a tre edizioni dei campionati mondiali conquistando in totale una medaglia d'argento. Nel dettaglio i suoi risultati nelle prove iridate sono stati, nel singolo: venticinquesimo a Sigulda 2015, dodicesimo a Winterberg 2019 e quinto a Soči 2020; nel singolo sprint: quinto a Winterberg 2019 e settimo a Soči 2020; nelle prove a squadre: medaglia d'argento a Soči 2020. Nell'edizione di Soči 2020 ha inoltre conseguito la medaglia d'argento nella speciale classifica riservata agli atleti under 23.

Agli europei ha conquistato due medaglie di bronzo: una a Oberhof 2019 nell'individuale e l'altra a Lillehammer 2020 nella prova a squadre; nella stessa edizione del 2020 si è inoltre aggiudicato l'oro individuale nella speciale classifica riservata agli atleti under 23.

My Perspective: Going to be a mother soon!
Going to be a mother soon!
I just had my pregnancy test, twice 2 nights in a row, wow its all positive....no wonder i feel so tired lately, i have this mood swings that i dont understand sometimes. i know i feel the changes in my body but i keep on ignoring it.
When i saw the pregnancy test, gosh i have this mixed feelings, i felt so much joy in my heart at that moment but sad at the same time as its so soon for us (me and my hubby), i still have plans but i guess God's plan is different for us....well, its what i wanted actually, to be a mother soon, and God know's i'm not getting any younger.....All our plans suddenly freezes, but what the heck we can do all those in a couple of years....life is more precious than ambition. God knows whats best, so i guess its perfect time for us.
I know it wont be easy for the rest 8 months, being pregnant and giving birth is just the beginning. I am thankful for the blessings that God has given us, He truly answers my prayers.
Halu Mommy Dina, okay ra ng mga other plans Din, it will come along.. You can still achieve them even if you have the baby, although not all but as soon as you have that precious 'lil one hright before your eyes..nothing else matters anymore..


Given that melee combat usually requires that one have at least a semisolid footing in order to be able to exert significant force against one's opponent (instead of merely pushing the two combatants apart), what would be effective strategies for melee combat between flying opponents (winged and/or floating)?
Inspired by this, this, and this El Goonish Shive comic (discussing/showcasing problems with fighting while airborne).
EDIT TO CLARIFY: My question is about how one would fight without a solid footing; this other question is about how one would avoid/limit damage during aerial combat.
FURTHER EDIT: Given this other other question, I'm removing the part about combat in microgravity and opting to focus this question exclusively on aerial melee combat in the presence of gravity.
Speed and Sharpness are your allies in aerial combat, although melee tactics will give way to maneuvering.
In an answer about Martial Arts in microgravity I spoke about hold techniques, and if you're talking about unarmed low gravity combat, I still maintain this is the best solution.
In an aerial environment however, it is better to look at birds as your closest analogue. Hunting birds have two traits that make them successful in that regard; speed and sharp talons & beaks.
Ultimately, momentum (which is going to have the greatest impact on your enemy) is made up of two components - mass and velocity. Birds are low in mass by design, although birds like eagles and falcons are larger than the prey they hunt, but for combat purposes the way they increase the impact of their collision with each other is through speed. The faster you're going, the more impact your existing mass will have on your opponent.
Of course, to maximise the benefit of that impact however, you want that impact to inflict the most damage and that means razor sharp beaks and claws, effectively working like daggers. These require only a small amount of momentum to do piercing damage, thus wringing every drop of damage out of the momentum they are capable of building up.
In such a situation, you won't be dealing with birds trying to hover in mid air and fight each other so much as swooping each other from above (falling maximises speed and therefore momentum) or at the very least, trying to get around the opponent to strike a weak point. Most aerial bird fights are dogfights, not melee actions.
Of course, it's important to point out that birds fight this way because they are in a gravity well and their wings are designed to interact with the air in a manner that supports their mode of flight and their ability to turn quickly in the atmosphere. In a zero gravity environment, birds would be as lost as we would be in terms of their instinctive fighting techniques.
To that end, the answer above should be read as how winged creatures in a full gravity environment would fight; the linked answer would still hold valid (wings or not) for those fighting hand to hand in a zero gravity or micro-gravity environment.
The reality is that we have spent thousands of hours refining our melee combat skills, and we still disagree on what the best approaches are. So expect a wide variety of things. But most importantly, this means that one will always have to adapt to the strategies around it. This is always true, but when we're exploring new territory, it's doubly important.
The real key to melee combat will be holding your opponent so you can apply force. Hockey enforcers figure out really quickly that you have to hold your opponent in order to do any real damage while on ice. This flying environment is no different. Any art which relies on holding the opponent and using their body against them will do well in this environment.
Other than that, it's worth noting that flying opens us a curious blurry region between ranged fighting and melee fighting. It is possible for you to become the projectile. This opens up a whole new set of options, such as extremely brutal grabs of sensitive areas like throats at high velocity. An individual trained in Tiger Claw Kung Fu can already rip a windpipe out if given the chance. I'm sure they'd love an extra 20m/s to do it with.
Knives will be incredibly important in these environments, as they would be in any grappling environment. Anything to let you focus the force that you can actually apply will be crucial.
All that being said, the strategy for fighting will remain the same thing as it has been for the last few hundred thousand years: find the opponent's weakness, exploit it. Find your opponent's strength, avoid it. Find your strength, use it. Find your weakness, keep it from the opponent. Take any particular variant of aerial fighting (organic wings, synthetic wings, rocket packs, zero gee, etc), and apply that fundamental pattern, and you will find the real strategy.
I think the most effective would be wrestling, grappling and pinning techniques. While its true that a lot of them would require gravity to help assist in holding these techniques would be more suited to close quarters combat where you are basically holding or in constant contact with your opponent.
Wrestling: You can put your opponent into holds and there are probably a bunch of pointers about manipulating your opponent and their center of gravity.
Ju Jitsu: Using your opponents weight against them. While we don't have gravity. Being able to manipulate your opponent and their momentum is pretty important.
MMA: Probably the most prevalent one. Its pretty popular and outdoes most traditional martial arts and fighting styles because of the prevalent use of charging and grabbing onto your enemies which most fighting styles are unable to suitably account for. This is probably the best one to use if you want to have close quaters combat because it takes the most effective moves from a variety of different martial arts.

Aminadab
Judah and Perez (Lk 3:33-3:33)
"The son of Amminadab,
The son of Admin,
The son of Arni,
The son of Hezron,
The son of Perez,
The son of Judah."
τοῦ Ἀμιναδὰβ τοῦ Ἀδμεὶν τοῦ Ἀρνεὶ τοῦ Ἐσρὼμ τοῦ Φαρὲς τοῦ Ἰούδα
The two genealogies of Matthew and Luke are almost the same from Judah to Amminadab. Luke listed them as Nahshon, the son of Amminadab (τοῦ Ἀμιναδὰβ), the son of Admin (τοῦ Ἀδμεὶν), the son of Arni (τοῦ Ἀρνεὶ), the son of Hezron (τοῦ Ἐσρὼμ), the son of Perez (τοῦ Φαρὲς), the son of Judah (τοῦ Ἰούδα). Clearly, Judah had become the dominant tribe by the time of Jesus. The story of the children for Judah is a very interesting tale as portrayed in Genesis, chapter 38. Judah married a Canaanite woman named Bathshuah in Adullam. They had three sons, Er, Onan, and Shelah. Then the story got more complicated. Judah found a lady named Tamar to be a wife for his first-born wicked son Er, whom Yahweh put to death. Then Judah sent Onan, his second son, to produce children for his brother from Tamar, Er's wife. However, Onan spilled his semen on the ground, so that he would not have any children. Thus, Yahweh put him to death also. Judah then told Tamar to live as a widow in her father's house, until his youngest son Shelah was older and able to marry her. Tamar, in the meantime, saw that Shelah had grown up, but was not being offered in marriage to her. She decided to throw off her widow garments, put a veil on, and sit on the road from Adullam to Timnah. Now Judah, whose wife Bathshuah had died, was on this same road and thought that she was a prostitute, because her face was covered. He gave her his signature ring and the cord as a pledge that he would pay her later for her sexual favors. They had sex and she conceived by him. Three months later, Judah found out that his daughter-in-law Tamar was pregnant as a result of prostitution. He wanted her immediately burned, but she told Judah that the owner of a ring and cord made her pregnant. Judah admitted that she was right. Tamar then had twins from this pregnancy, Perez and Zerah, who disputed about who was the first out of the womb. Interesting enough, the line of Judah would have died out without this prostitute episode. Thus, the sacred lineage of Judah goes through a father-in-law having paid sex with his daughter-in-law, Tamar, who was a Canaanite. According to Genesis, chapter 46:12, Perez, the son of Judah, had 2 sons, Hezron and Hamul. who went with Jacob to Egypt. From 1 Chronicles, chapter 2:9-17, we learn about the linage of Hezron. He had 3 sons, Jerahmeel, Aram, and Chelubai. This Aram, Arni, or Ram was the father of Aminadab or Amminadab. Luke added an Admin who is not found elsewhere or maybe another name for Ram. Amminadab had a daughter, Elisheba, who married Aaron, the brother of Moses, in Exodus, chapter 6:23. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, the brother-in-law of Aaron and Moses.

"Perez was

The genealogical lineage of Judah went through Perez (Φαρὲς), not Zerah. According to Genesis, chapter 46, Perez had 2 sons, Hezron (Ἐσρώμ) and Hamul. who went with Jacob to Egypt. From 1 Chronicles, chapter 2, we learn about the linage of Hezron. He had 3 sons, Jerahmeel, Aram (Ἀράμ), and Chelubai. This Aram became the father of Aminadab (Ἀμιναδάβ). Aminadab had a daughter, Elisheba, who married Aaron, the brother of Moses, in Exodus, chapter 6. Aminadab was the father of Nahshon (Ναασσών), a famous warrior prince of Judah, especially in Numbers, chapter 7. Nahshon became the father of Salma or Salmon (Σαλμών). The Greek text used the term 'begat' (ἐγέννησεν) to represent the relationships between these 5 men. However, it seems perfectly acceptable to simply call them the father instead of saying "fathered them."

Mordecai and Esther (Esth 2:5-2:7)
"Now there was a Jew in Susa the capital, whose name was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin. The family of Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem, among the captives carried away with King Jeconiah of Judah, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had captured. Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is Esther, his cousin. She did not have a father or mother. She was the daughter of his uncle, Aminadab. Esther was fair and beautiful in appearance. When her parents died, he brought her up to womanhood as his own daughter."
Mordecai was a Benjaminite, the same as King Saul, and thus part of Judah. His family was brought into captivity by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon with the sitting king of Judah in 587 BCE. Things turned better for the captured Jews under the Persian kings, especially after King Cyrus in 539 BCE. This is about 50 years after that. Anyway, Mordecai's uncle Aminadab and his wife had died, so that he took care of their young daughter Esther, who was his first cousin. He was either her foster father or adopted father, but really was a first cousin, since their father's were brothers. Once again, there are slight differences between the Hebrew and Greek text. Aminadab was not mentioned in the Hebrew text, only in the Greek text. Also the Jewish name of Esther is only found in the Hebrew text as Hadassah, but not in the Greek text.

Engineers from the University of Georgia and the University of South Carolina (USC) have generated uniform dispersions of carbon nanotubes by combining ultrasonication and hydrogen passivation methods. This development can aid in easier harnessing of the power of carbon nanotubes.
Adding carbon nanotubes to materials can increase the utility of the materials, as carbon nanotubes possess many advantageous properties, including unusual electrical behavior and great mechanical strength. Carbon nanotubes have demonstrated their superiority in a wide range of applications including energy harvesting, energy storage systems, energy conversion, electronic devices, optoelectronic devices and energy-efficient and lightweight composites. However, dispersion of carbon nanotubes in a uniform manner has been a major hindrance in these applications.
Carbon nanotubes are hydrophobic, and they tend to clump together in many polymers and solvents. This property prevents uniform distribution within gels and solids and also for coatings on surfaces. Application of ultrasonication has been attempted for dispersal in solvents, but has not been successful.
The College of Engineering and Computing professor at USC, Xiaodong Li, led a team of engineers, who combined hydrogen passivation with ultrasonication and produced multi-walled carbon nanotubes completely dispersed in ethanol within a period of two hours. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the uniform dispersion. The uniformity of dispersion was even visible to the naked eye.
The team utilized the method and made a composite of nanotube-epoxy. When compared to pure epoxy, the nanocomposite's elastic modulus when fabricated using hydrogen passivation was enhanced by nearly 100%. Ultrasonication energy induces the breaking of C-C bonds, which then form C-H bonds. Heating can remove the hydrogen in these bonds, which is advantageous.
The advancement has been reported in the February 14th issue of Advanced Materials.


Based on the new Intel® 82580 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter is Intel's fourth generation of PCIe GbE adapter. This adapter showcases the industry's first fully integrated quad-port PCIe Gen2 GbE controller, providing a smaller footprint and lower power dissipation. In addition, the Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter offers advanced features, including support for multi-core processors and server virtualization, as well as a scalable PCI Express Gen 2.0 interface. Intel's first eco-friendly halogen-free board combines low-power and cost for the best price/performance ratio in a quad-port solution available today.
This quad-port adapter provides high-performing, multi-port Gigabit connectivity in a multi-core platform as well as in a virtualized environment. In a multi-core platform, the adapter supports technologies such as Intel® QuickData Technology, MSIX, and Low Latency Interrupts that help accelerate data across the platform, improving application response times.
The server adapter provides support for proven OS and VMM iSCSI initiators as well as iSCSI boot. Historically, CRC32C computation has degraded system performance, but not with the CRC instruction set included in the latest Intel® Xeon® processors. CRC validation is possible with minimal impact to the network throughput while delivering superior data integrity .
The Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter showcases a suite of hardware assists that improves overall system performance by lowering the I/O overhead in a virtualized environment. This optimizes CPU usage, reduces system latency, and improves I/O throughput. These features include: Product Brief Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter Network Connectivity Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter designed for multi-core processors and support for Virtualization & Unified Storage Environments • Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) • Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) Use of multi-port adapters in a virtualized environment is very important because of the need to provide redundancy and data connectivity for the applications/workloads in the virtual machines. Due to the need for redundancy and data connectivity, it is recommended that a virtualized physical server needs at least six GbE ports to satisfy the I/O requirement demands.
Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT) is a suite of features that improves data acceleration across the platform, from networking devices to the chipset and processors, which helps to improve system performance and application response times. The different features include Intel QuickData Technology, Direct Cache Access (DCA), MSI-X, Low-Latency Interrupts, Receive Side Scaling (RSS), and others. Intel QuickData Technology, a DMA engine, moves data using the chipset instead of the CPU. DCA enables the adapter to pre-fetch data from the memory cache, thereby avoiding cache misses and improving application response times. MSI-X helps in load-balancing I/O interrupts across multiple processor cores, and Low Latency Interrupts can provide certain data streams a non-modulated path directly to the application. RSS directs the interrupts to a specific processor core based on the application's address. Reliable Performance The server adapter includes a number of advanced features that enable it to provide industry-leading quad-port 1GbE performance and reliability. PCIe* v2.0 (5 GT/s) PCIe v2.0 (5 GT/s) support enables customers to take full advantage of the 1 GbE by providing a maximum of 2.0 Gbps bi-directional throughput per port on a single quad-port card. For today's demanding virtualized data center environments, the new Intel® Ethernet I340 Server Adapter delivers ultimate flexibility and scalability.

Q: How to segment/split words in file I have a file with a lot of words in it, and i have to split the word that a part of it already existed or appear during the scanning of the file:
Some of the words in the file are
member
members
membership
memberships

I have tried this, but I wanted the first lines[i](which is a) to keep looping the next words
func Split(lines []string) string {
    for i := 0; i < len(lines)-1; i++ { // position of words
        j := i + 1
        fmt.Println(lines[i], lines[j])
        if strings.ContainsAny(lines[j], lines[i]) {
            s := strings.Split(dictionary[j], dictionary[i])
            fmt.Println(dictionary[i], ".", s)
        }
    }
    ...
}

but it only outputs
member
member.s
members.hip
membership.s

The output that i want:
member
member.s
member.ship
members.hip
member.ships
members.hips

A: For the given input following would help.
func splitSegmant(prev string, cur string) string {
    if len(cur) < len(prev) || cur[:len(prev)] != prev {
        return ""
    }
    return fmt.Sprintf("%s.%s", cur[:len(prev)], cur[len(prev):])
}

func Split(lines []string) []string {
    splits := []string{lines[0]}
    for i := 0; i < len(lines); i++ {
        for j := 0; j < i; j++ {
            split := splitSegmant(lines[j], lines[i])
            if split != "" {
                splits = append(splits, split)
            }
        }
    }
