Great exploratory testers want to find out everything. They want to know what's behind this door (or button) or and what's hiding in this box (or feature). It's very important for an exploratory tester to be inquisitive and interested, because they're on their own when it comes to checking the different parts of the website or application. Exploratory testing doesn't pre-determine what's to be tested or how, so it's up to the testers themselves to investigate the nooks and crannies.
Exploratory testing requires testers to figure out what kinds of tests they want to run themselves based on what they discover. Testers need to be competent test designers who can roll with the punches: if an investigation of a specific part of the software turns up an error, testers need to be able to improvise new tests that look for related problems and issues. By being good at coming up with impromptu additional tests, exploratory testers can determine the scope of a bug, or at least circumscribe the impact of it, which makes the task of fixing it for a developer easier.
Being observant is also correlated with the first characteristic of an inquisitive mind. Exceptional exploratory testers need to be not only curious about the product, they also need to be able to notice the aberrations and document them. This also includes "observing" settings, environmental factors, and internal mindsets as well. All of these need to be written down for an excellent exploratory test. It's a holistic approach to testing, while also being more liberating for the tester themselves. The tester needs to consider and record anything that may have had an influence on the test. When testing in the real-world, this could be something like wifi vs cellular, signal strength, battery level, or even ambient noise. What are the settings on the test device? Some of this is easily recorded, some requires additional investigation. And because we're dealing with human beings, it can also be important to note what the intentions and mindset of the tester was.
Product and project managers extend quite a bit of trust when they decide to use exploratory testers. That means exploratory testers need to be great about communicating what they've found. Because there's no separate test designer sitting down with the product manager to pre-determine individual testing steps and expected outcomes, it's necessary for testers to be able to communicate the idea behind a given test, the circumstances surrounding it, and then the outcomes that result from it.


Do you enjoy vampires in media?
I wasn't sure how else to name this.
So, the question: Do you enjoy media representations of vampires? For example, vampires in anime, vampires in TV shows, etc.
Are there any specific vampire-interpretation you love? You loathe? I'm curious.
Myself, I'm not sure exactly what I dislike, but, I do love the Vampire Chronicles interpretation (Interview with a Vampire, Vampire Lestat, etc).
Re: Do you enjoy vampires in media?
I dislike many representations of vampires in the media but especially stuff like Twilight. Also most documentaries on modern vampires tend to be really crappy, using people that are obviously not vampires but just enjoy dressing up or doing it for the show off. It's really bad because it makes vampires look like clowns and portrays vampirism as a joke.
You bring up an issue I will ask....Is there any video out there that does present the situation or case of an actual vampire that you know of? The material that people talk about I am not familiar with any of it other by name only..... because I do not watch it as I already know it is looney tunes...I do not even waste time going into it.

I personally haven't watched any documentaries, but I can only imagine they would cover "goth" culture more than vampirism. That's unfortunate. But, I wonder, would you want accurate representation?

I'm not so sure if there's anything out there that's like true vampires, I think that's because people really love the fantasy-aspect they could create.
That's a good question and to be honest I probably wouldn't care either way for accurate representation. I doubt a real vampire would want to be portrayed in the media.
he he....that answers the questions for all the media wanting to interview one, doesn't it?.
The media spreads erroneous information not just about vampires, but about the occult and psychic workers. I don't like that. The way witches are portrayed even around Halloween time is disappointing.
As for vampire media, I can't name any movies if you ask me about them, but I do appreciate the romanticized fantasy of what a vampire could be like if it's entertainment purposes only. Half the time I find depictions vulgar. Tasteless portrayals don't amuse me. A series had come out recently that was everything I disliked about television. True Blood. The example of tasteless.
It is best to stay away from television in general unless you want to do a case study on how dumb down the general public is, since whatever they see on television is what is "believed to be true."
I do enjoy the idea of going to costume balls such as the Edwardian Ball or the Labyrinth ball even though I haven't gone, but those fantasy events are in no way related to spiritual work done. It's just play, and I enjoy the idea of dressing up as the idea of something. I feel like it's okay to indulge so long as it isn't taken seriously.
But then, how can you compare media to the real thing? You just can't. The people behind vampire movies and movies portraying magic have no idea.
Most of the documentaries about vampires are about people who consume blood or are self proclaimed psychic vampires but i thought you might wanna watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz9cEjNFOvs .The man who is interveiwed is a ToV member and his name is Father Sebastian.He is very popular for making fangs as well as starting the Ordo Strigoii VII.Seems like no vampire would openly state in the media that he or she is a vampire other than himself.He even made a video explaining the dayside and nightside.
Sorry George. Sebastian is no vampire. He is only another fake making fangs to sell to other fakes.
And he is no TOV member. He and his girlfriend at the time who invented that codex were kicked out of there years ago.
Thanks for letting me know.That explains why he was interveiwed.He probably took the terms from the ToV to attract ToV members.I'm just curious why he mentions his nightside ''family'' so many times.
plagerism.....just as his former girl friend did the same with her books.

Father Sebastiaan is not an actual member of the ToV. He does however copy terminology and concepts from the ToV as well as ROS and Aset Ka. He does that to sell and make money but it's clear he doesn't understand the philosophies he's stealing from. In other interviews and books he openly insults those traditions he borrows from, which says a lot about his real intentions.
If Sebastian is no actuall vampire it's sad that Michael W.ford had written the foreword in one of Father Sebastian's books,since his luciferian literature is great material.
You certainly have some strange heros while hanging out here. LOL.
What do you mean? I have no heroes i just respect Michael's works for i have been a luciferian for a period of time.
I will not attempt to explain your naivete to you. If you are not aware, so be it.
I see that you are taking advantage of the fact that i do not live in the U.S and therefore be aware of what you are meaning all the time.So be it then.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions and where they are in life...I do not hold hands and walk others paths. Just because someone states they are Luciferian does not mean one should instantly accept an entire doctrine philosophy. You, yourself, said you should doubt all things and prove them for yourself. Wasn't that your statement?
Indeed Maxx.I always use reason.
Neither do i regret anything i do Maxx.I believed that you can do these things in the first place.I question everything,it's in my nature.
I have said in the past that i can't controll my thoughts consiouslly then neither my actions.Soon i will be able to but for now you have to stop making conclusions like if he said so he believes so.
then if you have no control over your thoughts or actions then I am finished with this conversation here. We are not here to offer therapy.
I didn't expect anyone to solve my problem here.I understand you have reasons to talk to me again but think about the moment that i will solve my problem.You sure lost an opportunity.

want to restore backup as one key recovery not working.
also, my system is not recovering through my recovery pendrive and DVD...giving error of some file missing.
I have full back of my system about 16GB that i took when i purchased my laptop. I took it using one key recovery app.
so is there any way to resore system using this backup.


Done. Color, pixel and touch sensitive completely the same.
In today topic we share to you all about screen repairing information. You are in right place if you are surveying option to repair/replace any model iPhone screen.
Before you repair the screen, then you should read this.
Two methods in the market.
Replace the whole LCD panel which come with glass and touch digitizer.
Very easy to repairer. By just using screw drivers to complete the job.
Usually you see outside dealer offering REPAIR WITHIN 30 MIN. QUICK JOB.
This is their method to repair your screen.
but BEWARE, there are few option for LCD also.
I list down those keywords that Malaysia dealer usually say.
Original - Everything color, touch sensitive, glass material which is gorilla glass that hard to scratch.
OEM - This is very confusing me, since OEM stand for Original Equipment Manufacture. Mean it's still original. But i don't know since when, the Malaysia dealers saying OEM parts mean high quality, not ori. In computer world, OEM mean parts ori that without box, not sell in a good packing box or not mean for sell at retails.
So i would add another.
OEM Grade A - A very high quality compatible part that can match up with OEM. But in our Shop, OEM parts we sell are still Original Parts but it's been refurbished, renew, recondition. LCD and tocuh still the same, but glass been replaced or polished as new.
NOT ORIGINAL - A low quality compatible screen made by unknown manufacture. Touch sensitive is effected (Very noticeable if you gaming with iPhone). Pixel should be the same in recently 2018. Color is slightly darker or brightness not so great as original.
Also is the most problematic one.
SECOND HAND - Used parts that disassembled from other iPhone.
Cheaper than replacing an original LCD.
But only can do this if your LCD display still ok and the touch no problem.
LCD and touch sensitive will not be effected since the glass is outer layer which can be separate cut by special machine. Next step clean all glue and pieces, then apply the glass by another machine. Last step is put into a machine that vacuum out the air bubble that still stuck between glass and LCD.
This is very time consuming that estimate work 2 to 3 hours between. If the dealer said 30 min or less, i'm sure he replaces the whole LCD. Why not use your own lcd if it's still fine? LCD also have life time, be sure using your own one.
Why not put the tools out front? Unless they don't have the skill or machine.

Q: two scrollable textareas How i can i have two text areas next to each other with the same number of lines; where when i scroll the first the second will move along as well and vice versa.
This will be used for the idea of having line numbers or any other string before the text area. Of course the only way around this is via javascripts.

A: Please try to use the approach described in the Synchronize Scrolling of Two TextArea or Multiline ASP.NET TextBoxes using jQuery article to accomplish this task.

The NM Political Report (http://nmpoliticalreport.com/tag/dwi/)
1st Judicial District Court
Judge finds state senator guilty of DWI, reckless driving
By Andy Lyman | December 18, 2019
A district judge found state Sen. Richard Martinez guilty of driving while intoxicated and reckless driving on Tuesday.
This past summer, Martinez, D-Española, was driving when he hit the car of a couple waiting at a stoplight in Española. After the state senator was taken to a hospital, police arrested him for DWI and reckless driving.
The ruling on Tuesday came at the end of a two-day bench trial where Martinez's lawyer, David Foster, argued that the arresting officer didn't follow protocols for field sobriety tests and that signs of impairment by Martinez could have been from a head injury sustained in the crash.
During their closing arguments, prosecutors from the Attorney General's Office argued that police lapel camera footage showed Martinez struggling with the sobriety tests and admitting that he had at least two alcoholic drinks that night.
In that footage Martinez was inconsistent on how much he had to drink and about the type of drinks he had. Martinez refused any sort of breath test, and replied, "I can't believe you're doing this to me," when the officer asked for his consent. Prosecutors argued that comment was a "consciousness of guilt."
"No one is above the law, not even a senator, not even this defendant," one prosecutor told the judge.
In his closing arguments, Foster criticized police for not following protocol and for inconsistencies in their reports.
"How can you believe anything [the arresting officer] is saying?" Foster asked.
He also criticized prosecutors for pointing out a dark spot on Martinez's shorts that can barely be seen in the police footage. During the first day of trial, prosecutors argued that the dark spot was urine and a sign that Martinez was too intoxicated to drive a car.
Judge hears from victims, arresting officer on first day of Martinez DWI trial
A state lawmaker's DWI bench trial started Monday morning in Santa Fe. The first day of the two-day trial focused largely on the testimony from two victims, the arresting officer and two doctors.
Prosecutors charged state Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, of driving while intoxicated after he was involved in a crash last June. Martinez was arrested after he allegedly rear-ended a man in Española. Prosecutors on Monday argued that there was more than enough evidence to show that Martinez was intoxicated when the crash happened. Martinez's lawyer spent the day mostly discrediting witnesses and arguing that signs of impairment could have been signs of a head injury.
The New Mexico Attorney General's Office is trying the case as the Santa Fe district attorney recused himself from the case because Martinez has donated money to one of his campaigns.
Martinez sat stoically as he listened to testimony from both the arresting officer and the man and woman who were involved in the crash.
Johnny Sisneros, who says Martinez slammed into his car, testified that he was at a stoplight with his wife in the passenger seat when he was hit by Martinez's car and described the impact as a "sudden boom."
Then, Sisneros said, he was in immediate pain after his car was hit.
"It was like an electric shock," he said of his neck pain.
He also testified that his injuries were bad enough to prevent him from playing with his granddaughter.
"I was her play buddy," Sisneros said.
Now, Sisneros told the court, he can no longer jump on a trampoline with his granddaughter.
"I can only sit there and watch her jump," Sisneros said, holding back tears.
Emails show prosecutors misled public about plea deal with former Martinez cabinet secretary
By Justin Horwath and Jeff Proctor, New Mexico In Depth and the Santa Fe Reporter | April 13, 2018
Assistant District Attorney Joshua Boone wanted to reassure his boss. A political blogger was raising questions in early February about why the DA's office had agreed to plead Ryan Flynn's aggravated DWI charge, leveled after a May 20, 2017 traffic stop, down to careless driving. Flynn, one of the state's most influential powerbrokers, was Gov. Susana Martinez' former Environment Department secretary, and now heads up the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association. This story originally appeared in the Santa Fe Reporter and New Mexico In Depth and is reprinted with permission. In a Feb.
How one influential NM powerbroker might have escaped a drunken driving charge
By Justin Horwath and Jeff Proctor, New Mexico In Depth and the Santa Fe Reporter | February 28, 2018
Just after midnight on May 20, Albuquerque Police Officer Joshua Montaño saw a luxury sedan veer into a turn bay blocked off by bright orange traffic barrels before it pulled back over a solid divider line onto an Interstate 25 frontage road. Montaño flipped on his emergency police lights and the 2004 Infiniti stopped in the parking lot of the Marriott Pyramid, a high-end hotel in Northeast Albuquerque. A veteran DWI cop who has conducted hundreds of drunken driving investigations, Montaño approached the vehicle on foot. He was armed with a slew of additional information gleaned from a police service aide and a concerned citizen: The Infiniti's driver had swerved numerous times traveling northbound from downtown Albuquerque, he'd delayed proceeding through a green light by 10 seconds, he'd driven 10 mph under the posted speed limit, and he'd done it all with his headlights turned off. In the driver's seat of the car was Ryan Flynn, 39, Gov. Susana Martinez' former cabinet secretary of the New Mexico Environment Department, who left that job in 2016 to become executive director of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association.
Woman fights ABQ after city takes her car based on son's arrest
By Joey Peters | September 1, 2016
In April, the city of Albuquerque seized Arlene Harjo's car after police charged her son for driving under the influence of alcohol. Harjo said she lent the car to her son after he asked to use it to go to the gym. Instead, he went to visit his girlfriend in Texas and was pulled over and arrested by police on his way back. To get her car back, the city told Harjo she had to pay $4,000. Plus, city law enforcement would keep a boot on her car for a year and half before she could drive it again.
Eight bills Gov. Martinez vetoed
By Matthew Reichbach | March 9, 2016

Along with the eight vetoed bills, Martinez provided veto messages. We included the intention of the bill and portions of the governor's message on vetoing the legislation for each of these below.
Increased DWI penalties bill heads to Gov
By Andy Lyman | February 18, 2016
A Senate bill that would increase DWI penalties passed its last stop early Wednesday morning before heading to Gov. Susana Martinez's desk for a signature. The almost hour long debate on the House floor consisted of one Democrat arguing against increased penalties that are inconsistent with other statutes. Rep. Antonio "Moe" Maestas, D-Albuquerque, said the bill was aimed at punishment when it should be aimed at preventative measures. "We can't just throw numbers out there and try to out do each other and think we're going to change anything," Maestas said. A common theme this legislative session is cracking down on crime through increased penalties.
DWI bills advance from Senate committee
A Senate committee passed two bills that would increase DWI penalties on Wednesday evening. One bill is sponsored by both Sen. George Munoz, D-Gallup, and Rep. Sarah Maestas Barnes, R-Albuquerque. The other is sponsored by Maestas Barnes and Rep. Rod Montoya, R-Farmington. Maestas Barnes and Munoz presented both of their bills to the Senate Judiciary Committee together. Both bills passed on bipartisan votes in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
House passes bills for stricter DWI laws
By Matthew Reichbach | February 4, 2016
The House passed three bills on Thursday night that would increase penalties on crimes related to DWI. One would create a felony for those caught with a DWI while driving on a revoked license, another would add the fourth DWI penalty—which is the first DWI that qualifies as a felony—to the habitual offender statute and the third would increase penalties for the fourth through seventh DWI by a year and increases someone's eighth DWI from a third degree felony to a second degree felony. The most-discussed bill involved creating a felony for a DWI while on a revoked license, though it was another smaller provision that was most controversial. Instead, it was the section that said anyone who knowingly permits someone on a revoked license will receive a felony that had many raising hypotheticals including those of a husband and wife who co-own a car. Rep. Paul Pacheco, R-Albuquerque, said that the concerns were overblown.
Harsher DWI penalties pass House committee
By Joey Peters | January 29, 2016
Dueling philosophies between lawmakers on how to solve that state's problem with drunk driving peppered debate in a House committee Thursday afternoon. Lawmakers in the House Safety and Civil Affairs Committee heard three bills to add penalties to DWIs, all of which passed on mostly partisan grounds. Two of the bills, in fact, were called "Increase Certain DWI Penalties."
One makes driving a car with a revoked driver's license a fourth degree felony while punishing those who knowingly allow people with revoked licenses drive their cars. Another increases penalties for the fourth DWI by a year and ups someone's eighth DWI from a third degree felony to a second degree felony. The third bill seeks to add DWI sentences to state habitual offender laws.

Why extreme risk protection orders can make a difference
By Rep. Daymon Ely and Rep. Joy Garratt | August 19, 2019
It was a mundane and typical American activity. Families doing their back-to-school shopping in an El Paso Walmart. Suddenly a gunman opened fire. Scores were killed and injured. But they were not targeted indiscriminately. His target was Hispanics. He sprayed them with bullets. Why Hispanics? In what is becoming all too common, the gunman posted […]

Speech team brings home first place in regionals and sectionals
Natalia Berti, Lia Reichmann, Editor-in-Chief, and Saba Ali, Editor-in-Chief|February 15, 2020

Juniors Ella Sieger and Haley Johnson performed humorous acting which left the crowd laughing.
On Sunday, Feb. 8, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Downers Grove South High School, Central's Forensics team participated in the IHSA regionals and received first place. Nearing the end of the season as they make their lasting impressions on the audience, forensic speakers will continue to practice their speeches, acting, and prose for the state competition on Feb. 22.
In total, there were seven regional champions including senior Emma Gordon who performed dramatic interpretation, junior Noor Mryan who performed original oratory, and juniors Haley Jonson and Ella Seiger who performed humorous acting. Senior Daniel Leung also performed humorous interpretation, while senior Aaron Lu performed impromptu and senior Catherine Dolan performed prose.
The team members spend many months practicing their speech-giving skills, especially focusing on how they can convey their message and emotions. As there is no set end date to the forensics' season, the members continue to practice until they feel confident in their speeches and performances.
"You always want to walk out of each room feeling like, you know what, if that's the last time I give this performance, I feel really good about it," said Mr. Paul Woods, speech coach and science teacher. "There's so much that we can't control so we try to focus on what we can which is connecting with an audience."
Senior Ava Serverts performed her extemporaneous speech during the forensics showcase. Her topic, given 30 minutes prior to performing, was focused around Middle Eastern relations with the United States.
Ava Serverts, senior, competed in extemporaneous speaking in regionals. For extemporaneous speaking, the participant speaks about current events. In regards to guidelines, they receive a prompt half an hour before to research the question and create their speech. After the 30 minutes is over, the speaker must then perform the speech.
"There are a lot of people who are really dedicated to acting or who like public speaking or other things they get really passionate about, so a part of it [the speech team] is just being around the people," Serverts said.
Although many participate in their own individual events, there is still an aspect of teamwork.
"There is a competitive aspect but we really like to support each other," Serverts said.
On Friday, Feb. 14, Central students had the opportunity to watch the speech team perform their events in the forensics showcase throughout the day during their English class. Hosting the showcase the day before sectionals gave the speech team an opportunity to perfect their performance for sectionals.
"[The forensics showcase] gives us an opportunity to share what we usually do at other high schools with our Hinsdale Central family, which is always really nice," Woods said. "It also serves for us as a competitive purpose in that it's right before sectionals which gives us the chance to really knock out some practices and see how these speeches, scenes play in front of a live audience."
Whether it be for college interviews or for English class, being on the speech team helps the performers connect with their audience and make an impact.
"There's something for everyone when it comes to speech, whether it be acting events or public speaking, and I think it's a great place to improve at whatever skill you're utilizing in your speeches," said Finn Van Horn, junior member of the speech team.
After winning first place as IHSA sectionals at Elk Grove High School on Saturday, Feb. 15, the speech team is headed for IHSA state finals at The Peoria Civic Center from Thursday, Feb. 19 to Saturday, Feb. 21.

You're probably scratching your head and wondering why on Earth I'm talking about CKD on my author blog–but this is my platform so here I am. For those of you who don't know I was diagnosed with CKD in May 2017. I was 23 at the time (25 now) and it changed a lot for me, but that's something I'll talk about in a future post. For now, I want to focus on brain fog and how it effects people with kidney failure. There's not a lot out there about CKD and the symptoms/effects of it from the POV of a patient. I want to change that.
When my kidneys failed in 2017 I was at death's door and had been experiencing symptoms for a long time, always making excuses and never thinking it was anything serious.
In fact I started experiencing the brain fog as early as 2012. I'd had sepsis in 2011 and blamed my short term memory loss on that. I've always had a really good memory–frustratingly so to those around me. Suddenly I couldn't even remember what I ate for breakfast. Sometimes I'd forget complete conversations as soon as they happened. It was annoying, but at the time I didn't think much about it thinking it was easily explained.
Then I started struggling to read.
I've always been a reader. I'd rather read than watch TV most of the time. But suddenly I couldn't finish a single book. "I'm in a book funk," I declared again, and again, and again. Sometimes I wish I could go back and shake myself for being dense. I went from reading over 100 books a year easily to struggling to read 40. Again, I blamed it on being in a funk, or picking the wrong books, or just not being in the mood. I had an explanation for everything and it made sense in my mind. It sucked not being able to read, though. It had always been a form of escape and now I found myself repulsed by books. Since I wasn't able to get into anything I found myself avoiding books all together. Every now and then I'd stumble across something that captured my attention and sucked me in, but then it was right back to my funk. This started in 2013 for me and continued until I got a transplant August 2018.
In 2016 I began having trouble writing. Now, for me, writing has always been second nature. As easy as breathing. The words flow from me like my fingers know the words before my brain does. I don't plan, I'm a pantster. I start with a general idea and the whole thing spirals into a book from there. But the words weren't pouring from me like they once did. AGAIN, I made excuses–logical ones. "I've been putting out 6 books a year. I'm just tired." "I need a break. I'm working too much." "I'm not getting enough sleep." On, and on, I went with these "logical" explanation. And they DID make sense–to me and even my family. We all dismissed the brain fog as easily as swiping a fly away. I went from writing a book in 4-6 weeks to at least 8 weeks. Then it started stretching longer. Then I started getting angry, with myself and my characters, that it was taking me so long. I've always naturally written fast. I'm so excited to write what I'm writing that I fly through it–then I'm so excited to move on to the next book that I start it without a breath in between. Writing lights my soul on fire and suddenly I felt like it was killing me. The most infuriating part came in 2017-2018 even after I started dialysis. The ideas would be there and I'd sit down to write, but they didn't pour out of me like they used to. I'd write 50 words and stop. It's like my brain would hit a wall, and where normally my fingers would keep moving, writing the story faster than my brain could keep up, I just … couldn't remember, couldn't get the words to come out that had been there a moment before. They were gone, like smoke in the air. For the first time writing started feeling like a JOB. Something I had to do to make money (since this is what I do full time) instead of what makes me happy with the money being a very nice bonus. Don't get me wrong, I still wanted to write, but with it being so difficult it was a struggle and worked on me mentally and emotionally because I worried maybe it wasn't making me happy anymore. Maybe this wasn't my future like I always thought. Getting a transplant completely erased those worries but I'll expand on that in a moment.
To back track a bit, before I got my diagnosis, but closer to that time I started doing REALLY stupid things. Not on purpose, but stuff that made no sense and I'd ask myself, "Micalea why'd you do that?" Some of the details are fuzzy now, either from the brain fog at the time or my own defense mechanism of blocking it, but I remember in late 2016 getting lost. I don't even know where I was, just that I was in my car, and suddenly I couldn't remember how to get somewhere. I wasn't in an unfamiliar place either–I was in my home town. That was the first time I remember feeling SCARED and knowing in my gut something more must be going on. (And yet I continued to deny it out of pure stubbornness) I started making excuses to not drive, terrified it would happen again and I'd have to explain to someone what was happening. The last thing I wanted to admit was I thought I was losing my mind. After all I was 23 and I was getting LOST. That shouldn't be happening. I also noticed when I did drive my mind would drift of its own accord and I just felt shakey driving. I knew I wasn't safe on the road for myself or other people, so at some point I stopped driving all together. If I went somewhere someone had to drive me.
I can't even begin to tell you how scary it is to feel like you're losing your mind–and being too terrified to tell anyone. How do you possibly explain something like that without sounding like … well, like you've lost your mind.
So here I was struggling to write, to read, to drive, to basically function through the day. I felt like I was living a lie, pretending to be okay when I definitely wasn't.
When I ended up in the ER and the nephrologist asked me if I was having trouble remembering things I gasped and said yes. She explained about the brain fog and I nearly cried with relief because I WASN'T crazy. It was this disease wreaking havoc on my body, filling my body with so many toxins my brain couldn't even function. In fact, when she learned I'd still been writing and was an author she couldn't get over how I'd done it. Looking back, I don't know how I did ANY of it. Sheer force of will, I guess. I've always been too stubborn for my own good.
I'll admit, after I started dialysis the brain fog got better, but I knew I still wasn't functioning like normal. Reading was easier, but not like before, writing was still off, and I still occasionally couldn't remember things. But it truly was nowhere near as bad.
Then I got a kidney–and I feel like crying as I write this and I felt like ME again. The ME I haven't felt like since probably 2009-2010. That's nearly TEN years ago. I can remember things again and not struggle to recall things. I'm reading like crazy (making up for lost time actually it seems like, lol) and writing … I planned on waiting a month or so after surgery to start writing again to give myself time to heal. But pretty immediate after surgery the book I knew I wanted to write next started screaming at me, demanding I write it, just like all my stories once did. I can't tell you how amazing it's felt to have the words stream onto the page and I don't have to fight to get them out of my brain on paper. It's beautiful. It's a gift. A precious gift to get this kidney and be ME again.
I remember not too long ago my grandma asking me to try to explain how the brain fog feels and the only way I can accurately describe it (which I touched on above) is say you're walking along, you're going in one direction and know your destination, then suddenly there's a wall in front of you and you don't know how you got there or which way to go. It's like you're stuck. You stand there, trying to figure out where to go, what to do, but there are no thoughts. Just quiet. It's like your brain is too tired to even form thought. So there's nothing but emptiness and silence–and man I didn't know silence could be so loud. Maybe brain fog isn't like this for everyone but that's how I felt.
Brain fog is a serious issue for CKD patients. We're real people, with real lives, with jobs, and tasks to complete and the brain fog can make you do the most illogical things. I thanked my lucky stars every day I worked from home, could make my own hours, and didn't have to work somewhere outside the home.
It's yet another hurdle CKD patients have to push past, because you CAN'T let this disease take any more from you than it already does. The best you can do is make your own new kind of normal.

Q: What are kernels in support vector machine? What are kernels in support vector machines? I have tried many contents but i am not familiar with Lagrange and Laplace concept in mathematics. So anyone can please elaborate concepts of kernels in easy way?
Thanks in advance :)

A: In principle, a Kernel is just a feature transformation in an (infinite) feature space. It is often the case, that your feature space is to simple/small, so that you are not able to divide the data properly (in a linear way).
Just look at the pciture of this blog (https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-the-kernel-trick-e0bc6112ef78):
In an 2D Feature space, you have no chance to separte datapoints in a linear way. Therefore just use a transformation (gaussian-kernel, polynomial kernel, etc. ) to achieve a higher feature space. In the 3D space, the circle can be divided by a linear function.

In principal, those kernels are just a function, which is computed on every datapoint. The mathematical trick behind those kernels is, that you do not have to actually compute this transformation on each datapoint. But this goes to far i think.

A: We define kernels as real-valued functions $\kappa(x,x')\in\mathbb{R}$ where $x,x'\in\mathbb{R}^n$.
Typically,

*

*$\kappa(x,x')\geq 0$

*$\kappa(x,x')=\kappa(x',x)$
So a kernel can be interpreted as a measure of similarity. For example,
$$\kappa(x,x')=x^Tx'$$
What we use in support vector machines are Mercer kernels. If a kernel is Mercer, then there exists a function $\phi:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^m$ for some $m$ (which can also be infinite as in the case of the RBF kernel), such that:
$$\kappa(x,x')=\phi(x)^T\phi(x')$$
For example, let $\kappa(x,x') = (1+x^Tx')^2$ for $x,x'\in\mathbb{R}^2$.
$\Rightarrow\kappa(x,x') = (1+x_1x'_1+x_2x'_2)^2$
$\Rightarrow\kappa(x,x') = 1+2x_1x'_1+2x_2x'_2+(x_1x'_1)^2+(x_2x'_2)^2+2x_1x'_1x_2x'_2$
$\kappa(x,x')$ can be written as $\phi(x)^T\phi(x')$ where $\phi(x) = [1,\sqrt{2}x_1,\sqrt{2}x_2,x_1^2,x_2^2,\sqrt{2}x_1x_2]^T$.
So this kernel is equivalent to working in a 6-dimensional space.
Also, the complexity to get $(1+x^Tx')^2$ for $x,x'\in\mathbb{R}^2$ is lesser than the complexity to get $\phi(x)^T\phi(x')$ for $\phi(x),\phi(x')\in\mathbb{R}^6$.

A: Try to read yourself at https://data-flair.training/blogs/svm-kernel-functions/
In a nutshell, they are various types of function that translate your input into a range between [0, 1] (both inclusive).


Celebrity and runway stylist, Matthew Curtis created the look for Frank & Oak's Spring/Summer 2015 menswear presentation for New York Fashion Week. The look was made to feel natural but controlled.
Below is Matthew's hair report, which includes a step-by-step on how to recreate the look.
The look was made to feel natural but controlled. Hair was pushed to the side to look like the style had slightly grown out.
Dampen down the hair and apply a volumising mousse, blow dry using fingers for a smooth texture.
Work the hair to create a swept back, but effortless look, letting longer pieces of the hair from the top of the head fall over the sides. Allow the fringe to flop forward naturally.
Apply texture crème to the finger tips and run through the hair from front to back, to enhance the look and give hold.
Finish with a finishing hairspray; this gives extra hold but keeps the hair looking soft.

ECU partners with MSWA to tackle neuro conditions
Edith Cowan University and MSWA have formed a research partnership to identify new ways to personalise treatments for people living with a neurological condition.
Play YouTube Video
MSWA CEO Marcus Stafford AM and Professor Moira Sim
Edith Cowan University (ECU) and MSWA have formed a research partnership to identify the best ways to personalise treatments for people living with a neurological condition.
This research aims to develop a systematic profile of people with MS, Stroke, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease.
ECU Executive Dean Medical and Health Sciences Professor Moira Sim will oversee the research, which will be funded over 12 months.
"This will provide a foundation for future research projects that will benefit individuals living with neurological conditions," Professor Sim said.
"While the funded research projects are currently in preliminary stages, we're confident that through holistic profiling we will be able to improve day-to-day life for many people living with a neurological condition."
MSWA CEO Marcus Stafford AM said he was delighted to be able to fund this important work.
"This is the first year we're funding research through ECU and we're incredibly excited to see what may be possible," Mr Stafford said.
"This year we've contributed $3.5m to research, $1m of which is allocated to researching a variety of neurological conditions, showcasing our commitment to supporting conditions in addition to MS."

When I was in Tawain, I used to practice some Kung-Fu. I thought about a close relationship that may exists between this sport and performance. Kung-Fu requires a perfect control of the mind and the body I never reached. Then, the aim was not to replay what I tried to learn, but to play with the Kung-Fu imaginary.
I attached two bamboos to my head, and tried to balance myself while I was moving in the street. The two sticks becomes stilts as much it handicap me. And moves are airy as much they are heavy.

Also interesting is to sort by passport price and look if the other prices follow the same curve. A discrepancy may indicate particularly weak or strong security. So Russian ID cards are cheaper than one might expect, whereas Belgian ones are more expensive. Austrian and Belgian driver's licenses also seem to be particularly hard to forge, but the prize there goes to the UK, which has the top-priced spot (€2000). I wonder if that's related to the fact that the UK doesn't have ID cards, so the driver's license often functions as one?
This entry was posted in Syndicate by gerv. Bookmark the permalink.
I am skeptical about the prices correlating with how hard things are to forge – because the pink plastic credit-card-sized driver licenses that you get in the Netherlands and the UK are, as best I could tell, identical in terms of security features (apart from the obvious lettering differences in stating the country of issue and so forth), whereas the Dutch ones are 40% cheaper.
I'm not aware of the DVLA still giving out the non-plastic variety (although they could still be valid, and so I suppose there might be a market for forgeries, but only if those were easier rather than harder than the plastic ones…).
Intriguing! That's far cheaper than buying citizenship legitimately and, interestingly, the prices seem to correspond. Malta will grant you legitimate citizenship for peanuts compared to price of British citizenship – and their forged documents are right near the bottom of the list too.
For the US at least, there's a rather cheaper way to go, /if/ you're here. The short version is, you get an actual real birth certificate for someone other than yourself (which you can do because they're public record), then you use that to apply for a real social security card, and you take those two items (which don't feature your photo or anything that would really clue anyone in to whether you're the same person or not, other than gender and age) to the BMV, pass the driving test, pay the normal fee, and get a real driver's license. Then you go and apply for a passport in the usual way, just like anybody planning a trip to Niagara Falls would do.

The ASEAN Basketball League had an eventful first week with two teams going undefeated, two teams getting spot results, and two teams still looking for their first win of the season.
There were also tremendous individual performances in the first four games of the season with a few of the old reliables showing they still own their respective yards but there were also head-turning performances from new faces that made their fans giddy with excitement for what is to come.
Every week, the Player of the Week will be selected along with three runners-up to appreciate the performance of ABL stars.
Chris Charles, the reigning Best Import of Hi-Tech Bangkok City, started the season in a strong way as he came up with 25 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 4 blocks in an 83-74 win over the Singapore Slingers. It was a huge statement from the long-time ABL import that he isn't ready to give up his crown just yet. Because of his familiarity with his teammates and their system, Charles found it easy to get his groove back after a long off season.
In the same game, Singapore import Xavier Alexander made waves as he tried to carry the Slingers to a victory. The debuting import dropped 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and a block, although his team came up of the short end.
In the first game played in the Philippines for the Pacquiao Powervit Aguilas, it was the import of Mono Vampire who stole the show. Behemoth Anthony McClain was unstoppable down low as he almost single-handedly carried his team to a win. They fell a point short at 79-78 but McClain showed that he is a force to be reckoned with as he tallied 28 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks. Mono Vampire might be new in the league but games against them won't be easy with their big man in the middle.
However, the Player of the Week belongs to Filipino-American Jason Brickman who is playing as one of Westports Malaysia Dragons ASEAN Heritage import.
In the Dragons' 107-82 beatdown of the Aguilas, Brickman narrowly missed a triple-double with 15 points, 9 rebounds, 14 assists, and 6 steals. The 23-year-old Brickman has been known as a smart point guard since college. He is one of only four players to notch 1,000 career assists in Division 1 of the NCAA with LIU Brooklyn. He was so good at distributing the ball that he led the league in assists in 2013 and 2014.
These skills were on full display as he found open teammate after open teammate against the Pacquiao Powervit Pilipinas Aguilas. With a debut performance like that, more will be expected of Brickman and the rest of the ABL's stat-sheet stuffers in the second week of action.

Abstract Bridges in China are always suffered from the overload traffic. So precise assessment for the safety of the bridges is important. Nonlinear FE analysis with the consideration of damage accumulation, material nonlinearity and boundary connection is a powerful tool for this problem, which is cheaper than test and more accurate than linear FE analysis. But nonlinear FE analysis for prestressed concrete bridge in China still has not been widely accepted. Hence, in this paper, a nonlinear FE analysis for a prestressed continuous rigid frame concrete bridge is implemented with the comparison of a large-scale bridge experiment so as to discuss the modeling technique and to verify the result of numerical model. Nonlinear behaviors such as prestress, cracks, crush of concrete, yield of rebar and contact of support are taken into account. Ten different load cases to represent different overloads are all simulated in both FE model and experimental model. Through the analysis, it can be concluded that nonlinear FE model correctly monitor the performance and damage of the bridge.
During the service life of a bridge, it is impossible to avoid damage accumulation and function degeneration due to traffic load, fatigue effect and material debasing. And with the recent fast development of the economy in China, over loading happens more frequently than any time in the history, which brings serious safety problem for the bridges. Every year there are lots of reports on the sudden failures of the bridges that induce terrible lost and death .So precise assessment for the safety of the bridges is important. However, it is too expensive to do enough experiments so as to analyze the work state of the bridge. Nonlinear FE analysis with the consideration of damage accumulation, material nonlinearity and boundary connection is a powerful tool for this problem, which is cheaper than test and more accurate than linear FE analysis. But nonlinear FE analysis for prestressed concrete bridge in China still has not been widely accepted . Hence, in this paper, a nonlinear FE analysis for a prestressed continuous rigid frame concrete bridge is implemented with the comparison of a large-scale bridge experiment so as to discuss the modeling technique and to verify the result of numerical model. Nonlinear behaviors such as prestress, cracks, crush of concrete, yield of rebar and contact of support are taken into account. Ten different load cases to represent different overloads are all simulated in both FE model and experimental model.
There were ten load steps in the experiment, in which stage five oil jacks applied as the vehicle loads. And four load patterns were tested to simulate the movement of the vehicles (Fig.3). The whole test process was listed in Table 1. Load Case A, B and C were repeated twice in turn with different load values to simulate various levels of overloaded vehicle movements on the bridge. And Load Case D was finally tested to destroy the bridge so as to obtain the load capacity of the bridge. In the whole process, dynamic performance was tested so as to detect damage of the model bridge.
Maximal load of each jack: 37.5kN.
Maximal load of each jack reaches 50kN in load step 5, and maximal load of each jack reaches 55kN in load step 4 and load step 6.
In the test, load step 1-3 monitored the service state, most of the flexural cracks fully propagated during load step 1-3. Load step 4-6 monitored the over loading state, in which the normal steel reinforcement progressively yielded and the tendon was still elastic. Load step 7-10 was destructive loads. In the last load step, the bridge damaged seriously, some cracks expanded through the whole section. However, because of the tension of prestressed tendons, every part was connected together and the bridge didn��t collapse. The typical phenomena observed in the test were shown in Table 2.
A finite-element model of the model bridge was established by the software MSC.Marc. Plane stress element was used in this model because in plane bending deformation was the main behavior of the bridge. Planar rebar element was adopted for the prestressed tendon model. The nodes between tendon elements and concrete elements were coupled so that no slip in the rebar-concrete interface is considered. In the two side support, contact surfaces were introduced to monitoring the real bridge support which can bear press only (Fig. 4) .
The elastic-plastic material model is adopted for the concrete in compression, while smeared crack model is adopted for concrete in tension. The equivalent stress-strain relationship for concrete is based on the Chinese Code . Perfect elastic-plastic model is adopted for steel including rebars and tendons.
By using these models, a numerical procedure for nonlinear analysis such as concrete cracking and steel yielding was presented. In addition, the load history was also considered by loading and unloading. The computed result was shown in Fig.5. Besides, the crack distribution of the test results and finite element results was also compared, which was shown in Fig.6 and Fig.7.
By comparing the curve between the test results and the computed results, it could be concluded that the behavior of the bridge could be simulated by finite-element analysis.
FEA is a powerful tool to do nonlinear analysis, which can help to estimate the work state of the structure. Through the comparison between the test results of a bridge model and the nonlinear analysis results, it can be concluded that nonlinear FE model correctly monitor the performance and damage of the bridge.

Q: Smack's XMPP over TCP connection stops after the main() method returns I started using the Ignite Smack API 4.1.6 for creating a basic XMPP over TCP client. I use the smack-tcp and smack-java7 API. The code is pretty basic.
//In a main

//Create XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration
//Create XMPPTCPConnection using the configuration
//connect and login

After logged in successfully and sent the first presence message, it seems that at the time the code into the main finishes executing the connection is shut down.
I expected that the API would created a TCP socket connection that stays alive into a separate thread, but it seems that it's not the behaviour I get.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

A: The JVM will exists if the main() method exists and if there a only daemon treads left. Smack uses daemon threads exclusively. Thus your JVM exists.
See also if main method completes the execution, what happens to any long running thread?


"All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant" (v17). This psalm expresses the struggle of those who have faithfully served God and yet encountered trouble and sorrow (v15-16). The psalmist knew that God had delivered His people before (v1-3), and he didn't understand why God was allowing their present suffering (v9-11). However, he knew that self-help wasn't the answer: "For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me" (v6).
"Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!" (v26). Sometimes God calls us to wait, to endure a little while, yet His steadfast love never fails.

Q: Why is the negative contact in a battery bay always the side with some sort of spring? Is this just purely convention, or is there some kind of technical reason behind it?

A: Assuming you're talking about round-type (cylindrical) batteries, such as D, AA and AAA, it's to ensure maximum contact with the flat end of the battery, which is the "negative" terminal as described in the ANSI standard. You'll commonly see leaf-spring contacts as well as coils. The side with the "nub" will automatically provide a solid contact if enough pressure is provided by the contact on the flat side, so no second spring is needed.
I can only assume that the flat and "nub" design that the ANSI standard describes for round-type batteries was chosen because it provides a clean contact mechanism as well as a clear indicator of polarity to consumers.

A: It is quite common to use the physical properties of the NUB to provide polarity reversal protection in a battery.  So the NUB will fit between two plastic shoulders and make contact with the plate.  If there were a spring this end you would need to more tightly control tolerances in the spring and its mounting compared to a flat plate.  For this reason it makes economical sense to place the spring at the flat negative end and push the positive nub onto the plate.

Former NFL QB Kitna Tackles Dual Coaching, Teaching Role
Jon Kitna's days are very different now since he retired from the NFL after a 15-year-career as a quarterback. That doesn't, however, mean that they're any less tough. Merely a month after announcing that he was leaving the world of professional sports, Kitna signed up to become an algebra teacher and the football coach at his alma mater: Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington.
His post-retirement plans were a question Kitna and his wife discussed a great deal, especially during the course of his last season with the Dallas Cowboys. The goal has always been to avoid the path laid down by many other retired athletes that lead straight to a golf course; Kitna wanted an experience that could "make the greatest impact."
In the end, that place turned out to be in front of a class and on the football field of his old high school, and Kitna insists that this is where he wanted to be all along. Calling his NFL career "a detour," Kitna explains that being a teacher and a coach has always been his real dream.
NBC Sports caught up with Kitna a few months into his new job to get his impressions on the new setting.
Kitna runs a hand over his closely shaved scalp and leans back in his chair. The windowless, concrete bunker that passes for an office is decorated sparingly. There's a desk, a computer and a large cabinet. A white board is attached to one wall, with names scrawled on it in black ink, grouped by position. The list under the heading "WR" is exceptionally long. The head coach must have been a quarterback.
Although his current salary is barely a tiny fraction of the $3 million he made backing up Tony Romo in Dallas, for Kitna, this was never about the money. Instead, it is about transforming the lives of kids growing up in difficult circumstances in one of the city's tougher communities and giving them an opportunity to succeed, be it on the football field or in the classroom.
When Kitna first became familiar with the magnitude of the challenge he was taking on by agreeing to oversee the school's Abes football team, it was initially overwhelming. The equipment used by the team, including the helmets and the video equipment, was outdated and practically unusable.
Things are improving, in no small part due to Kitna's efforts and connections. The Cowboys donated used cleats, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer gave an industrial washer and dryer, and another donor gave money for new helmets. A local drug store offered a buy-one-earn-one-for-Lincoln program that brought in things such as shampoo and deodorant for players.
Kitna's wife, Jeni, has taken the reins of the Abes' booster program, seeking help from local businesses and alumni. The goal is to find 2,000 alumni and supporters willing to donate $100 a year.
In the end it isn't victories Kitna is after, although he won't turn them down. He measures success via metrics like graduation rates and college attendance. He believes, however, that the football program has a role to play in bringing about those kinds of improvements. And he wants to help it be the best tool for opportunity it can be.

A greenhouse is a controllable dynamic system (Seginer 1996), managed for intensive production of high quality, fresh market produce. Greenhouse production allows for crop production under very diverse conditions (Gauthier 1992). However, there are a number of variables that greenhouse growers have to manage in order to obtain maximum sustainable production from their crops. These variables include; air temperature, root zone temperature, vapour pressure deficit, fertilizer feed, carbon dioxide enrichment, selection of growing media, and plant maintenance. The task of managing these inter-related variables simultaneously can appear overwhelming, however, there are successful strategies that are used by growers to do this. The main approach is to try to optimize these variables to obtain maximum performance from the crop over the production season.
The goal of optimization can be used to determine how to control these variables in the greenhouse for maximum yield and profit, taking into account the costs of operation and increased value under the modified environment (Jones et al 1991). The greenhouse system is complex; to simplify the decision-making process growers use indicators. An indicator can be thought of as a small window to a bigger world, you don't get the entire picture, but you do gain an understanding of what is happening. Another way to look at it is to understand the basic rules of thumb which can be used to obtain insights on the direction and dynamics of the crop-environment interaction.
Indicators provide information concerning complex systems in order to make them more easily understandable (Giradin et al 1999). They quickly reveal changes in the greenhouse which may require alterations in management strategies. Indicators also help identify the specific changes in crop management that need to be made. The purpose of this manual is to provide information regarding the greenhouse management, and the resultant response of the sweet bell pepper plant as individuals within the larger crop. Basic indicators used to evaluate the plant-environment interaction to move towards optimization of the environment and crop performance are presented. Over time, and with experience, growers will be able to build on these basic indicators to improve their ability to respond to changes in the crop and to anticipate the needs of the crop.
Bell peppers (Capsicum annum L.) originate from central and south America where numerous species were used centuries before Columbus landed on the continent (Manrique 1993). The cultivation of peppers spread throughout Europe and Asia after the 1500's. Although perennials, they grow as annuals in temperate climates. They are sensitive to low temperatures and are relatively slow to establish. As there is little field production of bell peppers in Alberta, greenhouse production provides most of the local source of this product. Greenhouse production of peppers is based on indeterminate cultivars in which the plants continually develop and grow from new meristems that produce new stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. In comparison, field pepper cultivars are determinate, the plant grows to a certain size, produces fruit and stops growing and eventually dies. Indeterminate cultivars require constant pruning to manage their growth. In order to optimize yield, a balance between vegetative (leaves and stems) and generative (flowers and fruit) growth must be established and maintained.

HOW LONG WILL THE TATTOO REMOVAL PROCESS LAST?
Shore Vascular & Vein Center Blog HOW LONG WILL THE TATTOO REMOVAL PROCESS LAST?
"How many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?" This is one of the most common questions that people ask when they consider laser tattoo removal. Unfortunately, answering this isn't easy since every tattoo is unique. Anyone can look at a tattoo and measure the size and notice the colors. However, factors that are not known are what substances are in the ink that was used to create the tattoo and how deep the ink was injected.
The type of laser used to remove a tattoo is one of the most important factors in obtaining the best possible result.
Picosecond lasers, such as the enlighten laser used at Shore Vascular & Vein Center provide the most complete results in the fewest number of treatments for most tattoos.
These are just some of the factors that can affect the number of treatments you'll need. To learn more, schedule an appointment with us here at Shore Vascular and Vein Center. We specialize in laser tattoo removal in the Atlantic County, Cape May County, Camden County, Cumberland County and Ocean County NJ area and can help you remove your unwanted body art within the shortest amount of time.

Santa Oda de Escocia (h. 680 – h. 726) fue una mujer, de supuesto origen escocés, que llevó una vida de reclusión en los Países Bajos. Su día festivo es el 23 de octubre.

Biografía
Oda nació ciega, y su padre la envió de peregrinación a Lieja para que visitara las reliquias de San Lamberto. Mientras rezaba en la tumba del santo, la ceguera se le curó milagrosamente, tal y como consta en la vita de la santa del siglo VIII. Después de prometer que dedicaría su vida a Dios, regresó a Escocia.

Según unos documentos escritos en el siglo XIII, su padre quería concertarle un matrimonio. Debido al juramento que hizo, ella y su doncella huyeron al otro lado del Mar del Norte. Tras una peregrinación a Roma y al Monte Sant'Angelo (Gargano), Oda rezó en varios pueblos de los Países Bajos y de Bélgica, y se instaló finalmente en Venray, pero las urracas no dejaban de importunarla. Como buscaba la soledad, huyó de aquellas, y los pájaros la llevaron a un lugar abierto del bosque. Allí, los pueblerinos le construyeron una cabaña.

Con el fin de proteger su humilde refugio del viento, el granizo, la lluvia y la nieve y de ocultárselo al mundo, Oda plantó unos arbustos. Al día siguiente, ya habían crecido hasta convertirse en un espeso seto. Su padre la buscó, y, al igual que en el relato de Santa Dimpna, descubrió su paradero porque ella había usado monedas de su tierra natal. No obstante, cuando intentó acercarse a la cabaña, las urracas no dejaron de ahuyentarlo. Al final, se dio por vencido y volvió a Escocia sin ella. Oda se quedó allí como ermitaña.

Se suele representar a Santa Oda vestida con un largo vestido azul que deja un hombro al descubierto y con un bastón o un libro en las manos (símbolo de la sanación de su ceguera). Siempre aparece con una urraca posada en su mano y una corona debajo de sus pies (símbolo de su rechazo al reino de su padre terrenal).

Veneración
Después de su muerte, su humilde cabaña se transformó en un lugar de peregrinación. «La casa de Santa Oda en el bosque» acabó siendo la ciudad de Sint-Oedenrode (en holandés, cualquier espacio abierto y pequeño que esté hecho por el hombre se llama rode). Al igual que la bandera de Escocia, la de Sint-Oedenrode se compone de una cruz de San Andrés blanca sobre campo azul.

En la iglesia de Saint Martin de Sint-Oedenrode, se custodian fragmentos del cráneo de Oda y algunos dientes suyos. Asimismo, se conservan varias estatuas y pinturas en una capilla dedicada a la santa que se halla en el jardín de la iglesia. Los peregrinos visitaban a Oda para aliviar la irritación de ojos y otras enfermedades de la cabeza.

A challenge to major redevelopment work scheduled for London Bridge Station has been dismissed by three Court of Appeal judges, paving the way for the scheme to proceed.
Bermondsey Village Action Group launched legal action against the plans, claiming that Southwark Council's decision to approve the construction of a new concourse and the demolition of railway arches, a listed train shed, and other structures had been flawed.
Throwing out the challenge, Lord Justice Pill said that alleged shortcomings with an environmental statement were insufficient to bring its validity into question, Planning magazine reported.
He said the London Bridge district was an "opportunity area" in which the provision of new retail floorspace was "an acceptable, and indeed desirable, land use" in terms of planning policy.
