Joester wrote a nice review of Grand Theft Auto 4. A snippet:
SPOILER: yes you can steal a helicopter and of course you can crash it into the Statue of Liberty (Statue of Happiness). But if you do it right you end up on a higher platform that you can't reach from the tourist entrance. Go through a secret door and you're inside the statue itself. Climb the staircase to the top and what's there? A giant beating heart. Yup, you heard me. It's suspended in the middle of the statue from chains. Right up there with the weirdest things in a video game ever. Shooting it (and who would do such a thing) has no effect, it just keeps on beating. Be careful trying to blow it up with a grenade, it's a real easy way to die. How do you get down from the statue? Well, unless there's a hidden parachute somewhere, you don't exactly survive the experience. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/213827.html

Party Royalty
Prince Harry's California Nights: Photos Said to Show Him Kissing Barmaid
Internet photos purport to show the randy royal kissing a barmaid at a San Diego club. By Tom Sykes.

The public rehabilitation of Prince Harry from boozy ne'er-do-well to assured royal brother-in-law and top gun has hit a snag—a buxom, brunette, and highly photogenic snag with a large tattoo on the side of her ribcage: a cocktail waitress named Jessica Donaldson.
They say pride comes before a fall, so perhaps it was inevitable that just days after palace courtiers were congratulating themselves for the extensive media coverage of Harry's brilliance at air combat training in Arizona ("Prince Harry one of the best young pilots the country has ever seen"; "Prince Harry 'Top of Class' in US helicopter training"), it is Harry's hard-partying lifestyle that has hit the headlines once again this weekend, after a photograph of him apparently kissing bottle-service girl Jessica at a live-music venue in San Diego was published by the website Rumorfix.com.
It appears Harry first met Jessica on Friday, Oct. 7, just hours after the prince and his mates from the Royal Air Force had touched down on American soil, when his minders called ahead to the Ivy nightclub at the five-star Andaz hotel in downtown San Diego on Friday, asking for a secure area where a VIP and 20 of his mates could watch the Rugby World Cup. "It was something the hotel set up because Harry wanted to watch the match, and management hooked up a laptop to a flat-screen TV," Jessica told British tabloid The Daily Mirror, adding that Harry paid for the first two of the three $500 bottles the group ordered.
An insight into Harry's dating technique is provided by the fact that at the end of the night, Harry's security detail asked Jessica out for brunch the next day, and then, last Saturday, "a friend" texted her to invite her to the Belly Up Club in Solana Beach on Harry's behalf. It was at that club that the blurry photographs were taken.
Yesterday, the Mail claimed that "multiple sources" said a woman "fitting Jessica's description" arrived "alone by taxi" at Harry's hotel, leaving at 6 a.m.
Donaldson, who took reporters' questions over the weekend with her boyfriend of three years in the room, apparently burst into tears before denying either that she had kissed Harry or that the woman was she, adding, perhaps not entirely helpfully, "It must have been another girl. I am sure Harry has lots of girls."
Katie Nicholl, writer and author of The Making of a Royal Romance, says palace insiders are not worried about Harry's American adventures.
"Harry has always had a cheeky and very flirtatious side and a great sense of fun, and that is why people have a soft spot for him. It is true that his relationship with his long-term girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, ended this year, and even though Chelsy was a bit of a party girl, she was also a calming and grounding influence on Harry. His trips to nightclubs became less frequent. He was calmer. He has gone wild once or twice since then—when he stripped off and dived into the fountains in Croatia for example—but what his friends say is that he is just enjoying his newfound freedom and making the most of it. He has been back in the dating game; he had the fling with Flee."
Nicholl says top brass at the Ministry of Defense back in the U.K. are unperturbed by the latest stories of Harry's California nights. "The training is intensive, but there's downtime. It was a weekend when he met the barmaid, he was free to go and do his own thing, and he was not breaching any rules and regulations. The most important thing for Harry right now is getting back to the front line, and girls will come second to that. He has the trust and respect of family and courtiers."
Of course, his friends and fans will take the California partying with a pinch of salt, but to his critics it will reinforce the impression that every time his image is on the mend, Harry has an unfortunate knack of nudging the narrative back to the tabloid-friendly tale of the playboy prince who couldn't be tamed. And all the flying lessons in the world won't change that.

Always on the hunt for Antique Corkscrews!
I've LOVED my Syroco Corkscrew collection for a long time. So once you've collected the basic core pieces, you start to see different color and paint schemes, go-with items such as bottle openers, brushes, and molds… Then you find a catalog with photos and advertising display signage… Where does it stop?!
Last count that I can recall….I had about 11 painted clown corkscrews. Not all different, but certainly 11 painted clowns does put me well into the "addicted to Syroco" category.
Here are 5 different variations that I've acquired over the years. I can't say for sure that they are all legit factory color schemes, as I don't have a list, but they are older paint jobs that very well could have been done by the talented workers at the Syracuse Ornamental Company in Syracuse, NY.
Admittedly there have been a few over the years that have passed through my hands that I wish I had never traded or sold off. Some were one-of-a-kind, some never seen before, some undervalued, and some simply had to go so I could acquire the next. But looking back on what I have found thus far in my 10 years of collecting only fuels the passion to keep looking and finding new pieces and hopefully replacing the ones that have gotten away.
Can you believe that I didn't even have time to photograph it properly??
This was one that I wanted to replace. And recently the corkscrew gods made that possible!
An amazing corkscrew just sold at an auction in the UK on November 26th. It was an 1839 Osborne Corkscrew. No, not by Ozzy, but by an English patentee Charles Osborne.
It's a brilliant piece consisting of a 3 bow spring frame. Eye catching as it is, there are two versions! The first has a threaded shaft with claw & paw ratchet mechanism and the second has a rotating shank. And can you believe that an example of each recently surfaced!! For years it was thought the only example was photographed in Fletcher Wallis' book on British Patents.
Another unique aspect to this exact piece is that it's made from iron of the Old London Bridge! J. Ovenston of London designed corkscrews out of the exact iron salvaged from the original London Bridge pilings! Check out Don Bull's article on London Bridge Corkscrews! Amazing!!
P.S. The ratchet mechanism did not work properly on this piece! The claw & paw did not engage. Maybe they just need a little WD-40 oil?
Gavin Maddock who owns eracorkscrews.com drove to the auction house and took a video of this corkscrew just before the auction. Thanks Gav!
The second version of this corkscrew was just sold this past week on ebay.fr for a whopping $27,971 and you can check it out here! There are no markings claiming it was made of iron from the London Bridge, but clearly an Osborne Bow Spring Frame corkscrew!
LOVE this restaurant in Portland, ME.! DUCKFAT!!
Stunning sunset from the back deck! The view seems to change by the minute! Beautiful!
Hmmmm… That was mine… That was mine… I think I sold that to him… I remember that trade… I have that one, that one, that one, wish I had that one. Never saw that one. Mental note on that one! Want that one. Want that one. And that one. AND THAT ONE. Don't leave with out that one!
Absolutely AMAZING to see so many FRARY Corkscrews at once! And they are all different!
After combing through the lower drawers and skimming through the junk box, I've made a pile! Eeeeeeeeeeee!
After a lovely meal at Nibo, we all ventured beyond our comfort zones and ordered up the Black Pepper Ice Cream. We all thought it was interesting and a successful dish. Not our cup of tea, but had fun trying it!
Brunch at Salt! Their interpretation of the "Tommy Burger" – Short ribs stuffed burger on a brioche bun with fried egg. Yummy!
More amazing views! LOVE IT!
Day trip to New Hampshire to visit Don Mischke! LOTS of corkscrews and they are EVERYWHERE!! Good times!
To avoid customs issues at the Norther Boarder and to prevent TSA from confiscating potentially deadly weapons, I shipped all of my corkscrews last week instead hauling them myself. Josef shipped them back to me just yesterday and I spent a bit of time unwrapping them last night. Boy oh boy do I have a LOT OF CORKSCREWS!
I shipped out 9 boxes, but I came back with 12? A few boxes of books and literature form Howard Lutterman's collection and of course I bought a few corkscrews too.
Here's a few pictures of the goods!
Columbian Expo Davis Patent, French Serpants, Miniature Open Frame, Guda Percha Figural Black Lady Leg, very large French Multi-tool and an old Snifter.
Note the Clough wire corkscrew on the bottom, which happens to be marked with the original patent date!
Neat DRGM Brass Multi-tool roundlet, 2 owl double lever types, Woodman's Patent, English Bow with Carriage Key, German Roundlet with opener, German Open Frame Mechanical.
Murphy Direct pull, English Henshall type, Heeley & Sons Roundlet w/ speed worm, 2 English Archemedian worms, Brass Old Snifter.
There are a few keepers here, but some will find their way to eBay, and some to collectorcorkscrews.com, and MAYBE even a few on syrocokidcorkscrews.com/forsale page!
Last week was a BLUR! It was excellent to see everyone that attended the AGM's this year. If you didn't attend, you certainly missed out! Niagara Falls! Corkscrews! Great friends! Tastings! Dancing! BRISKET!!!!
Pictures can say a 1000 words, but I will add a few of my own… Enjoy!
After a 4 hour plane delay, short flight to Buffalo, NY. this was my welcoming… VIP Driver service to smuggle me across the Northern Boarder. Apparently misspelling my name worked out well when crossing. tehe!
Waking up to a beautiful sunrise over Niagara Falls, and BOXES OF CORKSCREWS!
Whirlpool Rapids, Niagara Falls, Canada, The Flower Clock, and cutest town ever! Niagara by the Lake!
Finally! Some corkscrews from the ICCA Buy and Sell!
And here's the top earner at the Auction… $11K for this baby!
Views from a rotating restaurant that looks like the Space Needle! Beautiful!
Boat ride in Niagara Falls!
Small gathering in Watkins Glen, NY. Exceptional show & tell, and the BEST BEEF BRISKET EVER!!!!
BEAUTIFUL Harbor Hotel in Watkins Glen, NY. If you're EVER in WG, you must stay at the Harbor Hotel! TOP NOTCH in EVERY WAY! Loved every minute!
The CCCC Buy & Sell. Fantastic XXL Henshall type….only $6500….
New York City is absolutely Beautiful! LOVE the High Line Park!!
Hmmm…1903 Fancy Walker with a Fossilized Walrus Tusk handle and Sterling Silver end cap? YES PLEASE! Nice little score in the Chelsea Flea Market.
2014 CCCC NYC AGM Galla Dinner on a Yacht cruising the Hudson River around Manhattan! Fantastic views all around!
I did pick up a few other corkscrews, but apparently I was too busy having fun to take photos during the trip… I'll report more when the corkscrews arrive in the mail!
Yesterday was the first day of the ICCA AGM in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. For most it was a long travel day, brief registration, and a corkscrew viewing of some of the local collectors favorite pieces. Unfortunately for me, I ended up spending most of my evening traveling due to extensive airplane maintenance delays….errr!
But the day was not a total loss as I was able to acquire one corkscrew via email! It's a Carved Walker Corkscrew with Sterling Silver end cap!
Stay tuned for daily updates as this will be a week for the record books!

DeKalb Democrats Announce Newly Elected Officers for the 2023-2025 Board Term
Media Release, News, updates
The DeKalb County Democratic Committee (DeKalb Dems), held its biennial officer elections for the 2023-2024 board term.
"The outgoing Executive board and I are proud to pass the torch to the new leaders of the DeKalb County Democrats," said outgoing Chair John Jackson. "This new team is composed of grassroots leaders who exhibit a desire to make their community stronger and have already proven the ability to do so. The team represents every region of DeKalb County from Dunwoody to South DeKalb."
The newly-elected slate includes:
Chair, Brandi Wyche – Wyche currently serves as the DeKalb Dems Fundraising Chair and House District 90 Chair. As Fundraising Chair, Wyche led the effort to triple the Committee's fundraising between the 2020 Presidential and 2022 Midterm elections. During her tenure as House District 90 Chair, her district delivered the second highest Democratic early vote turnout in the state in the 2022 Midterm election. Now as County chair, she will lead one of the largest and most effective County Committees in Georgia.
First Vice Chair, Amy Swygert – Swygert currently serves as the Dekalb Dems Party Organization Chair and past House District 79 Chair. Under her leadership as House District Chair, North DeKalb transformed from a GOP stronghold in Metro Atlanta to a community represented by Democrats at the federal, state, county, and municipal levels. In her new role, Swygert will oversee the Party Organization and Development, Policy and Legislative, Candidate Recruitment and Communications committees. During Georgia's legislative session, Swygert works as Communications Director for state Senator Sally Harrell.
Second Vice Chair, Karen R. Davenport – As the only returning officer, Davenport will provide critical mentorship and continuity for the new leadership team. For the past two years, Davenport served as Second Vice Chair and GOTV (Get Out the Vote) Chair where she developed DeKalb's nationally-renowned ground game that includes ongoing recruitment and training of hundreds of volunteers primarily through the County's growing precinct and block captain program. These volunteers are activated through an impressive variety of GOTV strategies to ultimately deliver record Democratic turnout in Dekalb in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Davenport also oversees Voter Registration, Campaign Research, and Election Procedures committees.
Third Vice Chair, Larry Lowe – Lowe currently serves as Communications Chair and Third Vice Chair of the African American Caucus. During his time as Communications Chair, Lowe led a Dekalb Dems rebranding effort, a website overhaul, and oversaw digital outreach for the County for the 2020 and 2022 elections. In his new role, he will oversee the Special Events, Budget and Finance, and Audit committees. He previously served as Chair of House District 87 and Vice President of DeKalb Young Democrats.
Treasurer, Cindy Wilsky – Wilsky currently serves as the Dekalb Dems Budget and Finance Chair, and has helped bring greater discipline, detail and transparency to the County's budgeting process. As treasurer, she will have oversight responsibility for the organization's finances.
Secretary, Nura Williams – Williams currently serves as a post seat holder for House District 90. Williams has been appointed to serve in a number of leadership roles including as a member of the Urban League of Greater Atlanta Young Professionals Board, a Fellow and Board member of the New Leaders Council (NLC), and a member of Stacey Abrams' One Georgia Leadership Committee. As Secretary, she will maintain and preserve complete and accurate records for all official DeKalb Dems meetings and activities.
The new slate of board members will officially take office on January 1, 2023, and will be sworn in on January 5, 2023, at 7 p.m. The outgoing slate of officers include Chair John Jackson, First Vice Chair Karen Mixon, Third Vice Chair Gloria Moore, Treasurer Andrew Heaton, and Secretary Alisa Hamilton.
About his role as outgoing Chair, Jackson added "I want to thank the people of DeKalb County for your support of our organization and showing the nation who we are. It has truly been an honor to serve as your Democratic County Party Chair."

Each year, a new cohort of FAO Schwarz Fellows begins paid two-year assignments with leading nonprofit organizations.
The FAO Schwarz Fellowship is committed to investing in the professional development of our Fellows through a structured program of retreats, professional trainings, and mentoring.
Fellows attend two four-day leadership retreats each year to learn about the social impact sector, develop critical skills and build relationships with— and learn from— current and alumni FAO Schwarz fellows.
For many Fellows, the retreats are one of the highlights of their experience.
In addition to one-on-one weekly meetings with a supervisor, every Fellow has two mentors who offer support and guidance over the course of their Fellowship. Fellows also join a valuable network of current and alumni Fellows as well as leaders from host organizations.
They have proven academic excellence, demonstrated leadership in their college communities and are eager to immerse themselves in a two-year experience that will challenge them, train them and empower them with the skills and network they need to take a first step towards leadership in world of social impact.
Prospective Fellows apply directly to the host organizations.
The FAO Schwarz Fellowship chooses a select number of organizations to host Fellows each year, and these hosts are responsible for screening candidates, conducting interviews and ultimately selecting Fellows. We encourage you to learn as much as possible about the host organizations and review the job descriptions before applying.
Applications open each year in mid-November when we announce new host organizations and Fellowship positions.


Trouble with getting out of bed in the mornings is hardly an unusual complaint. The difference is that while most people don't want to leave the warmth of their covers, I physically couldn't. Carefully, I attempted to extract the leg that was bunched up by my chest. The knee emerged, but the shin was still trapped under my second leg. This limb was stretched out, but prevented from moving away from the wall by the stone-like object positioned perfectly centrally on the blankets.
My cat had found her revenge.
In the end, I tipped forward and fell ungraciously onto the floor. Tallis deigned to open one large yellow-green eye and yawned.
"Do you know how uncomfortable I am?" I demanded. "All my muscles are scrunched up!"
This didn't receive any form of verbal reply but somehow the image of the cat carrier was projected into my brain.
You would think one half-decent kick would shift Tallis along to a more acceptable position but somehow her body mass seems to increase by a factor of 100 when she goes into ball-mode. Remember the Pixar movie, 'The Incredibles' where their youngest son, Jack-Jack turns himself into a canon ball so the villain can't fly away with him? Yeah. Tallis recalls that too.
Perhaps to fully appreciate this problem, I should explain about my bed. When we lived in Canada, I had a Queen sized frame and mattress. To be honest, this was too large (or so I thought at the time) for what was normally just me and a cat. I had opted for that size to match the bedding I had bought while living in a furnished rental in New York. That apartment had a Queen bed, so when I came to buy my own furnishings, I matched the dimensions and reused the sheets. Despite the fact I loved the mattress, I knew a Queen bed was never going to fit in a Japanese apartment. I'm pretty sure that if you put such a mattress in my bedroom, you wouldn't be able to open the door. Actually, you would not be able to have a door at all, since my bedroom door opens inwards. It would have to be unhinged and propped up against the bathroom preventing me from ever using the toilet.
So, it was sell the bed or lose the kidneys. I went with the former.
(1) The normal western-style bed with a frame and mattress. This is very common in Japan and almost all of my friends sleep on such a bed.
(2) The traditional Japanese-style futon, which consists of a thick foam pad on a tatami mat floor.
(3) A hybrid option, whereby you have a bed frame with a solid tatami mat top surface on which you then lay down a futon.
My apartment does not have any tatami mats, being pseudo-wood flooring throughout. However, I was reluctant to buy a normal western bed. For a start, I might not find a mattress I liked as much as my old one, which would cause me to SULK each time I went to bed. Secondly, I was IN JAPAN! It was exciting, new and I wanted to integrate by sleeping on a futon!
… Even if no one else was.
Cats take up more space than husbands.
Or maybe they are just harder to kick.
A Japanese futon is somewhat different from the Western product of the same name. For a start, the term 'futon' refers to both to the foam pad underneath you (the 'shiki futon') and the blanket on top (the 'kakebuton'). The Brits would call a kakebuton a 'duvet' and the Americans… well, I'm going to go with 'comforter' and you'll have to live with the fact it just isn't the same kakebuton fluffy cloud of awesome. The shiki futon is thinner than a Western futon and can be easily folded into three sections for storage. Futons are often sold as a set containing both parts.
An advantage of opting for the tatami mat bed over a straight futon, was that I could have drawers underneath the bed for extra storage. When my bed was delivered, the men assembled the frame but not the drawer set. When I asked why, I received a monologue in Japanese until I decided I would just go and buy a screwdriver. As any Ikea fan will not be surprised to learn, I had to assemble the drawers twice; the first attempt having a key early panel placed backwards.
As a final touch, I purchased a Japanese style pillow which is filled with beans rather than feathers. It's a slightly odd sensation to lie on but it's not uncomfortable. I quite like rolling around on it as a DIY scalp massage. I confess though, that when my feathery pillows arrived from Canada, I did switch them over and leave beany pillow as the optional extra.
So there we had it; one perfectly Japanese bed. Tallis tells me it is exceedingly comfortable. Perhaps I should take the hint and move to the couch.
She is such a beautiful thing but I know how cats can be with taking over the bed, and they just wont move, or they do and it is worse. They just know.
That "semi-double" is the biggest size that fits into many Tokyo apartments. Then again, I read recently that as of 1 January 2012, the number of people per Tokyo household has fallen below two for the first time ever, i.e. Tokyo is a city of singles. Not youngsters, as I wrongly assumed, but old-timers.
Ah, but you see, when I had a Queen bed and the cat boxed me in, I just got out and climbed back in the other side!

Q: How to download a doc file using struts 2.x I have a requirement that I have to download a .doc file from database and show to the user.
So I am using struts 2.x and SQL server as my database.
So the user enters a password, the user can able to see his doc file which was fetched from the database.
Please can you provide me a sample example for the above requirement.

A: If you're trying to show DOC file as html, please refer to this thread:
Convert Word doc to HTML programmatically in Java
Or if you're trying to generate DOC file from database, I would recommend Apache POI tool. The basic operation is, you should have your own DOC template file, and you can change and add values from JAVA file.
Also you can use reporting tools such as: JasperReport, Birt and XDocReport. But I am not sure about the last one. The things is, it is difficult to generate well-formed DOCs when using report tools.
Hope this helps.

In 1987 a group of people from the Ashley area approached the Kulm Credit Union Board of Directors to see if they would consider buying the Ashley Branch of Metropolitan Federal Savings and Loan, which was being closed. The acquisition was approved by the member/owners, and on June 6, 1988 our name was officially changed to Hometown Credit Union. While our membership base expanded, our hometown commitment remained strong.
In the early 1990s the residents of Emmons county found themselves in difficult economic times. 1995 the Board of Directors of the Hazelton Credit Union – the only remaining Credit Union in Emmons County – approached the Hometown Credit Union board about merging the two financial institutions. On May 1, 1995 Hometown Credit Union took over all of their assets and liabilities, and our Hazelton branch office was established.


We smell dead people. The Guardian has the scoop on Kalain's Olfactory Links, a company that promises to capture the essence of someone who has passed in fragrance form. The founder, Katia Apalategui, came up with the idea, she says, "so that grieving relatives can keep their loved one's memory alive." According to the story: "Apalategui rallied scientists at Le Havre University to her cause. A high-tech variation of boiling Dad down to a reduction sauce was developed, utilizing the person's clothing and a four-day distillation process. Along the way, approximately 100 molecules of an individual's unique bodily odor are reconstructed into perfume." Here's a little video from the company explaining the wonders: A bottle will set you back about $785, and because scent is very closely linked to memory, it would be an effective way to relive the happy times with someone who is no longer with us. But smelling like someone who is buried and gone? We're thinking it might just be easier to keep an old T-shirt to sniff on occasion. But, hey, it's way less serial-killer-y than, say, Silence of the Lamb-ing it and making a suit out of that person's skin or something.

3.5.3 How is Hospice Performance Measured?
In this module I will review post-acute care with you, i.e. care for patient after discharge from the acute care in the hospital. We will discuss the various post acute care providers and how they are organized. We will also examine how post acute care providers are measured, what challenges they face and what innovations they are leading.
This is module 3.5.3, Hospice: Performance Measurement.
performance is measured, and what happens with that data.
Consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems, CAHPS.
hospice is also measured according to the quadruple aim.
hospice, which is slowly evolving and becoming more robust.
So right now, there is a pay for reporting.
they avoid payment penalties or reductions.
The other hospices that not report do get a reduction in their payments.
that's an information data set within hospices.
For example, the date of admission or date of discharge.
family will be very different from other patients that we have talked about so far.
to see if that decreases or not with the hospice intervention.
Patient and family experience is also measured.
judge the patient and family experience, will need to look very different.
So that is being developed now.
being developed for hospice, and it is being administered now.
they were surveyed before, or experience of their families, is measured.
did the team explain things to you in an easy to understand fashion?
How was your pain treated?
How were the pain medications given and did those help or not?
measure themselves, so there are internal financials, margins.
so they could be competing with each other very actively.
In summary, hospice is measured according to the triple aim as well.
They also look at their own staff satisfaction and physician satisfaction.
and is becoming linked to hospice reimbursement.


Nebulous, a sci-fi physics-based puzzler from Namazu Studios, will open a rift to a universe full of mysteries and one-liners when it releases on PlayStation 4, PC and Mac on August 30. Nebulous will support VR at launch on PC then release on Xbox One and PlayStation VR later in 2016.
While exploring space, Commander Dash Johnson is pulled through a wormhole filled with giant puzzles and deadly traps. Players strategically position devices such as gravity altering machines, bouncers, conveyor belts and other gadgets to direct Commander Johnson away from obstacles and toward each stage's exit portal.
There's no need to be gentle; part of the fun is treating Johnson like a human pinball and watching him careen from platform to platform, kicking, screaming and yelling hilarious quips as he goes.
Through the use of Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR, players can play as if they have telepathic powers, ditching the controller in order to move and position objects by simply looking at them and moving their head.
"As fans of Rube Goldberg machines and games that allow players to manipulate physics in fun and interesting ways, we made Nebulous to merge the essence of experimental puzzle solving with modern technology." said Keith Hudnall, technical director, Namazu Studios.

Q: Set-theoretic notion of differentiation and integration? Since set-theory is said to be one of the foundations of mathematics, I would think that every mathematical concept is definable in set-theoretic terms, right?
How would you define differentiation and integration? How would you define the limit concept?
Thanks.

A: Once you have the structure of the real numbers defined, the definition of integration and differentiation is the same as you would expect it. We have a language in which we define integration, we just have to interpret it into set theory.
The real numbers can be constructed in several ways in set theory (the important part is that we can prove that all the constructions are isomorphic to one another).
Say we take the Dedekind cuts definition. Then from the rational numbers we can construct the real numbers, and we can extend the operations of the rational numbers to those of the real numbers. So the question is how do we define the rational numbers?
Well, we can define the rational numbers as the field of fractions of the integers, and the operations of the integers extend naturally to those of the rational numbers. So we really just need to know how to define the integers and their operations.
But the integers are really just the completion of the natural numbers to allow additive inverses. So if we know how to construct the natural numbers in set theory, then we can certainly construct the integers, and the operations will extend.
And indeed the natural numbers have a relatively simple construction (there are several construction, this is just one). We define $0=\varnothing$ and $n+1=n\cup\{n\}$ (so we have that $n=\{0,\ldots,n-1\}$. Then we define addition and multiplication as cardinal arithmetic, $m+n=k$ if and only if $k$ have the same cardinality as a union of disjoint copies of $m$ and $n$; and similarly $m\cdot n=k$ if and only if $k$ has the same cardinality as $m\times n$ (the Cartesian product).
Now we have the natural numbers, their operations. We can start constructing sets. We construct the integers, then the rational numbers, then the real numbers. Now we have sets $\Bbb R$ and $+^\Bbb R$ and $\cdot^\Bbb R$, and we can define the rest of analysis from these sets, as if they were the "true" operations of $\Bbb R$.
And eventually, we have a definition for convergence, then for continuity, differentiability and differentiation, and integration. Those definitions are long, complicated, and uninteresting, and if you wish to "unwind them" then they become very dependent on the sets $\Bbb R$, $+^\Bbb R$ and so on.
But those definitions exist. Just very very very very long, and very very very uninteresting. The interesting part is that we can how they exist. And so we have. By showing that we can just recreate the basics, and that all the definitions follow.


Hey, I posted this in the wrong forum before oops.
Like I said in the other post, my game of choice is DoD, and in that I have a script whereby when you press the mousewheel (mouse3) down I get out my knife/spade and attack with it until I release the button, it then switches back to my last weapon.
Now the problem I have with this script is that it seems to switch to knife no problem, and attack no problem. but... when mouse 3 is released I cant seem to get it to switch back to the last weapon I had out at the time. I minor problem, but a problem nonetheless. I have to impulse 1 it back to whatever weapon I have in slot 1 as 'lastinv' doesnt seem to work. I have hudswitch set as 1 if this makes a difference.
The 'lastinv' doesnt seem to do anything, it doesnt switch back to anything when I have it there, it just stays on the knife.
Try adding another 'wait' or two in the -getmaknife command.
I think I can come up with a script for this. I already have one that switches back to the LMG. I don't know if that's an ok alternative to lastinv.
since, in ns, your last used weapon is almost always slot1 (lmg, sg, hmg or gl), just do this. then hit 2 for the pistol if you really want.
Alternatively, if you use a scripted lastinv, like romanos, you can just call something from inside the script that will switch you back.
You need 2 lastinv commands for it to work, not sure why.
alias +knife "slot3; wait; +attack"
alias -knife "-attack; wait; lastinv"

Windies relies on hunger to trump clear favourites Bangladesh
DHAKA, Jan 13, 2021 (BSS)- West Indies might be depleted by their first
choice players' decision to pull out of the Bangladesh tour but they won't
give up the hopes to win the series against hosts, said their coach Phil
Simmons.
By admitting Bangladesh as a clear favourite for the three-match ODI and
two-match Test series, Simmons said that they would rely on their extreme
'hunger' and 'enthusiasm' to outshine the home side.
"We can't argue with the fact that Bangladesh is clearly favourites because
they play well at home," Simmons said here yesterday.
"Sometimes experience plays a part but sometimes enthusiasm and hunger
trumps experience. We do have a few experienced players. We left the
Caribbean with the aim to win the ODI series. You might say that we don't
have our full team, but at the same time we have a team here which is hungry,
wants to do well, and eager to play, fight and scrap in these conditions," he
said.
Last time when the two sides met in a bilateral series at Bangladesh's soil
in 2018, the Tigers whitewashed the Caribbean in two Tests and won the three-
match ODI series by 2-1. They, however, lost the three-match T20 series by 1-
2. West Indies came up with their full strength side in that series but
couldn't deal with Bangladesh's four-pronged spin attack.
This time a total of 12 first choice players pulled out of the tour due to
Covid-19 fear or personal reasons but history suggested even against a full
strength West Indies side, Bangladesh would have come up as favourites due to
their home exploit.
What is only problem is that Bangladesh didn't play any International
cricket since the Covid-19 outbreak in March while West Indies had already
played three series.
Simmons, however, didn't want to comment on the players who have pulled
out. He had a clear message particularly for the younger ones from whom he
expects performance and positive attitude, with one eye on the ODI World Cup
Super League.
"It is the tournament to qualify for the [2023 ODI] World Cup, so it's a
start. My rule and message to all the players here is that you are not here
to fill in. You are here to give yourself a chance. You have a chance now to
seal your place in the team," he said.
"If you do well here, it augers well for you moving forward. You come here
and do well in the three ODIs and two Tests, you are putting yourself in a
place from where nobody can move you. Only you have the opportunity."

Equus ferus é uma espécie do género Equus, que inclui as subespécies: cavalo doméstico moderno (Equus ferus caballus), o cavalo selvagem eurasiático extinto no final do século XIX, conhecido como tarpan (Equus ferus ferus), e o cavalo de Przewalski (Equus ferus przewalskii), um táxon selvagem ainda existente mas que se encontra extinto na natureza.

Nomenclatura

O tarpan foi descrito pela primeira vez por Johann Friedrich Gmelin em 1774. Gmelin tinha visto os animais em 1769 na região de Bobrovsk, perto de Vorónezh. Em 1784 Pieter Boddaert denominou o taxon Equus ferus, baseando-se na descrição de Gmelin. O último tarpan morreu no zoológico de Moscovo em 1875. Sem conhecer o trabalho de Boddaert, Otto Antonius publicou o nome de Equus gmelini em 1912, de novo referindo-se às descrições de Gmelin.O cavalo doméstico, chamado Equus caballus por Lineu em 1758, descende do tarpan. No entanto, em uma aplicação estrita das normas do Código Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoológica, o tarpan foi chamado E. caballus ferus.

Em 2003, a Comissão Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoológica emitiu uma norma, conhecida como Opinião 2027, que estabeleceu uma excepção ao princípio de prioridade dos nomes científicos, de forma que prevalecessem os nomes das subespecies selvagens de 17 espécies domésticas, e assim fosse evitado o paradoxo de que as linhagens mais antigas fossem nomeadas como subespecies de seus descendentes domésticos. Entre os taxons compreendidos estavam os cavalos, cujo nome científico para a espécie, englobando a cavalos domésticos e selvagens, é Equus ferus; sendo denominados os cavalos domésticos E. f. caballus, o tarpán E. f. ferus e o cavalo de Przewalski E. f. przewalskii.

Taxonomia

Diversos estudos têm sido realizados, entre as duas subespecies viventes desta espécie.
Um estudo molecular do ano 2009, utilizando DNA antigo (recuperado de restos paleontológicos) situa o cavalo de Przewalski na mesma espécie que o tarpan, e portanto do cavalo doméstico. Posteriores análises de DNA mitocondrial sugeriram que o cavalo Przewalski e o tarpan separaram-se há cerca de 160.000 anos. O cariotipo do cavalo de Przewalski possui um par de cromossomos a menos que o cariotipo do cavalo doméstico, seja pela fissão do cromossomo 5 do cavalo doméstico no cavalo de Przewalski ou fusão dos cromosomas 23 e 24 do cavalo de Przewalski no cavalo doméstico. Em comparação, as diferenças cromossômicas entre os cavalos domésticos e as zebras incluem numerosas variações. Quanto ao cavalo de Przewalski, sabe-se que tem o número de cromossomos diploides mais alto dentre todas as espécies equinas. O cavalo de Przewalski pode cruzar com o cavalo doméstico e produzir descendência fértil (de 65 cromossomos).

Q: SSL certificates and cURL: certificate bundle or untrusted certificate? We have a webapp which fetches XML files to validate against an XML schema.  The app runs on an Ubuntu server which was set up some years ago.
There is an issue where cURL-ing a given domain fails because it was the certificate cannot be verified.  I'm hearing conflicting things about if the problem is on our side, or if it is an issue that we should contact the client to resolve.
For example, using cURL gives:
(pyenv)vagrant@precise64:~$ curl "https://example.com"
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
 bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
 using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
 the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
 problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
 not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
 the -k (or --insecure) option.

I have tried to research what could be wrong This SSL checker says that the certificate authority (CA) may not be trusted in some browsers:

The certificate is not trusted in all web browsers. You may need to
  install an Intermediate/chain certificate to link it to a trusted root
  certificate.

I then tried the URL in several browsers using browserstack with the predicted mixed results - the request works on some browsers, fails on others.
Basically I'm not sure if we should...

*

*Find some way of updating the 'certificate bundles' on our
server. If this is even best practice?

*Telling the people at example.com that the problem is at
their end and they need to get a fully trusted certificate

The discounted options:

*Installing the certificate for example.com only <- Discounted as this does not
seem sustainable if other sites have the same issue

*Turning off SSL verification on the app <- Discounted
as this is insecure and not good practice - even for an XML schema
validator

A: Looking at the report from SSLLabs for ngoaidmap.org shows:

Chain issues  Incomplete

This means that the server is not setup properly because it is not providing the necessary intermediate certificate. Desktop browsers often can work around this problem by downloading missing certificates or using cached certificates, but outside of the browsers the validation will fail. Which means mostly option 2:

Telling the people at example.com that the problem is at their end and they need to get a fully trusted certificate

Telling the people to fix their server is correct. But the problem is not that they need to get another certificate but that their server must provide the missing intermediate certificate too. Best point them to the SSLLabs report because they better should also fix all the  insecure things noted in this report.

A: i cannot tell how curl behaves within a linux environment here.
under windows providing a ca-bundle with the relevant subset of root CAs solves this issue - you may try this by providing the bundle using the suggested --cacert option.
a usefull bundle is available here:
https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
edit:
according to the answer from steffen ulrich i digged into using openssl.
you may check this yourself
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect ngoaidmap.org:443

the response indicates that the delivered certificate contains the actual server certificate but is missing the cert of the intermediate ca (which is required for full offline validation of the certificate chain).
Certificate chain
 0 s:/CN=*.ngoaidmap.org
   i:/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=RapidSSL SHA256 CA - G3
 <= here should be the cert for the intermediate ca (which is not part of ca-bundle)
on the server side this can be easily achieved by combining the delivered cert.


There is no registration or fee. The more your website gets passed around between users all over the country (or even the world), the more popular search engines will start to take notice of your website, and the higher up it will generally appear in rankings and results. Use keywords in the URL of your page. Using a website URL that's full of symbols and numbers will hurt your ranking since most people aren't searching for numbers or symbols. You will receive more traffic by giving your site relevant keywords. What if it fills them with confidence that they're in good hands?
Instead of writing stellar content, we are going to steal links (that's what it's called) from our competition. Deleting Facebook comments or manipulating your reviews will only make life worse. More and more we are seeing the use of keyword clustering from sites that are making it beyond the scope of mediocre search results and traffic margins. Google is a search engine that follows links. For Google to know about your site, it has to find it by following a link from another site.
No matter the angle you are looking at, Google wants to endear itself more to visitors in order to maintain relevance. It's not enough these days to create a website then sit back and wait for your customers to find it. As 80% of UK customers use Google to search on the internet, it's vital that your site is optimised to meet Google's search engine criteria. This is known as Search Engine Optimisation or SEO. There was a time when "keyword density" meant something for SEO content. Write "linkbait" articles that will attract the attention of social networks. These articles can be valuable resources, controversial, or humorous.
The blog posts that we build links to ranked very well and drove a ton of traffic for clients. Would you let someone without experience design your ads, dress your store window, serve customers, buy goods from vendors, or negotiate contracts? And if a site has a wide presence of low-quality, time wasting pages, the site as a whole will be ranked lower. According to SEO Consultant, Gaz Hall: "Using broken links to build quality backlinks is not a new strategy: it is an age old, tested, and proven link-building strategy that shows no sign of fizzling out."
The first thing you need to do is figure out who your ideal customer is. Think about where they are and the problems they are facing. What questions do they have that need answers? Once you have a clear picture of their issues in your mind, you should tailor your content to them. You're working with a frontend web development team, but they are all mostly working on making the product and therefore loathe website change requests. Just typing in an incomplete search term will result in a whole lot of unnecessary results which might not be what you are looking for.

The government yesterday signed a $30 million loan agreement with the Inter-American Development Bank for the digitization of the public service that will, among other things, seek to eradicate the onerous passport application process.
Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis and several of his Cabinet ministers attended the signing at Melia Nassau Beach Resort for two loans that will focus on funding for the "Government Digital Transformation to Strengthen Competitiveness" and contingency for natural disasters.
The first of the two loans will ensure that government procedures will be streamlined and placed online.
"We will employ a once only policy so that when one government agency owns or has a document or a bit of data, every other agency will be prohibited from requesting the very same document again and again and again," Minnis said.
"This is ridiculous and unfair. The new system will be designed for interoperability in which requisite data will be verified by the system.
"No longer will the Passport Office or the Ministry of Public Service ask for your birth certificate. And I'm in trouble because I don't have a birth certificate. I was never recorded, so you can imagine the issues.
"They will not have to ask for your birth certificate or marriage certificate.
"Citizens and residents will only need to carry one card which will likely be a modified version of the NIB card.
"This will be an electronic identification with a digital signature, instead of passport, drivers' license, etc.
"Online services will be accessed through a single window facility at international standards for infrastructure and applications, as well as with security and service delivery at the forefront.
"The public should also be assured that a significant part of the program will be the upgrading of cybersecurity to ensure that the government's services as well as your information are protected.
Bahamians seeking to renew their e-passports have been finding it much more difficult as they now have to provide certain documents that are proving to be onerous for some.
Acting Chief Passport Officer Siobhan Dean has said the process is not as seamless as it was before because of the inconsistencies in the information on the documents individuals are bringing in, as well as the lack of due diligence done with the e-passport system when it was initially launched in 2007.
Reportedly, Bahamians have been asked to bring in birth certificates of parents and grandparents in some instances. Some have also been asked to redo affidavits.
When asked yesterday about a timeline on the digital revolution, Minnis said, "We would work aggressively as possible because it's demoralizing when one sees the amount of individuals who are waiting in long lines to obtain their passports, so that must be placed as a priority.

"El Aplastamiento de las gotas" is a story by Julio Cortazar, published in an illustrated edition (illustrator Elena Odriozola).
I know that it literally means "The crushing of the drops" - but can anyone come up with a better translation.
The drops in question are raindrops which are falling down window panes and literally being wiped out. But the title also refers to the depressing effect of continual rain.

Hola Maeve,
¿Porqué no nos das tu versión? de esa manera será mucho más fácil que podamos ayudarte con correcciones desde varios puntos de vista...
I read the poem and, as so often happens, I can't think of a word in English that will fully capture "aplastamiento" in the structure "The [word] of the drops". Perhaps you should play around with the order of the words and try something like "Raindrops Splattering on the Ground".
What do you think of that?

I agree that with ScottJ. I can't think of any way to translate this literally that keeps the double meaning. I think it has to be changed a little. Maybe something like The Gloom of Rain/Melancholy Rain/Dark Rainy Day?
and how about the weary splattering of the raindrops?...
