And send request to http://10.0.27.124:8070/pusher/auth the response from the auth endpoint succesfully responding.
Why it doesn't trigger authEndpoint
Thank you for your answer.

A: That's because you're subscribing user to a public channel. Public channels don't require authorized connection. You need to subscribe user to a private channel.

Q: splitpcap windows tools command in unix I am using this windows command split pcap into size of 30,000 buffer bytes
Splitpcap2.exe -r f.pcap -b 30000
Can anybody provide me equivalent Unix/Linux command to do this work.
Thanks,

A: This isn't exactly what you want but editcap(1) (part of wireshark) will allow you to manipulate a capture file and include ranges of packet numbers in the output or truncate packets.
Or you can try http://www.badpenguin.co.uk/files/pcap-util2 which I think will do exactly what you want.

My guest on this episode of the "Spirit of Magic" podcast is comedy magician and February 2010 Genii cover-boy Michael Finney. Michael talks about hs unique path to discovering magic as a career and how he developed the personality that works so well for him on stage. Michael also reflects on some of the people that influenced him over the years including Charlie Miller, Dai Vernon, Carl Ballantine, Karrell Fox Johnny Thompson & Billy McComb. If you've ever wondered if a kidnapping could lead to a career in magic, then you'll be very interested in what Michael has to say.


One of football's modern legends, Steven Gerrard, decided to hang up his boots this week after his spell at LA Galaxy in the MLS. Every Liverpool fan still wants him back in the sort of fairytale return to Anfield that can only be dreamt of, but the sad reality is that that just wouldn't be possible in Klopp's gegenpressing game.
We take a look at Super Stevie's six greatest Liverpool moments.
World football is filled with local rivalries and there are few rivalries in English football that can match or top the Merseyside derby. Dividing colleagues, friends and even family members, England comes to a standstill whenever Liverpool take on Everton.
One would be hard pressed to find a footballer (dead or alive) who lives the Merseyside derby more than Steven Gerrard.
One fine day in March of 2012, the captain of Liverpool took the field to play his 400th match for the club. The scene of battle was Anfield and the opponents were arch rivals Everton. Steven Gerrard rose to the occasion like none other completing his hat trick in stoppage time as Liverpool ran out convincing 3-0 victors.
It was the first hat-trick in the Merseyside derby since 1979 and Liverpool's biggest victory over Everton in 30 years! For Steven Gerrard though, it was all just about the club!
Liverpool vs Everton: Are Liverpool going to miss out on the Premier League again?

I was too brief in my complaint about prev-dev in a status report on Friday, leading to a long discussion with the boss this morning. But I think we're close enough in understanding for me to start going whole-hog into changing things for the better.
So, today was a day. Task I thought I had finished was not finished, and was fairly urgently needed.
I found the weirdest VSCode bug. In the right paths, (and I have no idea what makes them "right), a file with a name like 2551.e1280822 has the name interpreted as a string, and 2551 to the power of 1.2 million and change is HUGE, so it says "Infinity".

The Andrew W. Mellon funded Digital Bridges initiative promoted experiments in collaboration among faculty and students at Grinnell College and The University of Iowa rooted in the team-based potential of the digital humanities. The larger purpose of the initiative was to explore imaginative ways for faculty, staff, and students at liberal arts colleges and research universities to build rich networks that enhance humanities teaching, learning, and research in the future. Opportunities provided by the grant were therefore designed to imagine, implement, and activate collaborations with the potential to deepen connections between our two institutions. Many of the options below also anticipated that Grinnell and University of Iowa students and faculty whose work supported digital scholarship and teaching would involve cross-institutional collaboration.
On Collaboration with Students: Involving students, especially undergraduates, in digital projects is one of the fastest-changing areas of curricular development at each of our institutions. Through the grant we sought to enhance programs that were already providing support and funding for undergraduates to work in collaboration with faculty mentors.
Digital Bridges supported collaborative summer research teams of two to four Grinnell and University of Iowa faculty, which could include staff members or students. Projects that also engaged a community partner were welcomed.
We provided faculty with time and support to develop new digital liberal arts courses or course modules that familiarized undergraduate students with new methods of inquiry and exploration. We were especially interested in courses that bridged the two institutions and courses in which undergraduate students engaged in collaborative research with faculty, staff, and other students.
This year-long program allowed participants from Grinnell College and The University of Iowa to build a shared understanding of current theories, practices, and technologies that comprise the diverse field of digital humanities. Meeting space, structure, and discretionary funding was available for groups of faculty, digital humanities staff, and graduate students with a shared intellectual interest in an area of the digital liberal arts.
As part of the Digital Bridges mission to develop faculty capacity in digital methods, we offered support for faculty travel in many ways.


Abetone is major Appenine ski location situated in the province of Pistoia, in Tuscany, Italy. It is roughly 80 kilometres Northwest of Florence and about forty nine kilometres Northwest of Pistoia. The title Abetone means 'large fir' in Italian. The ski vacation resort of Abetone is house to 51 kilometres of downhill slope skiing, in addition with 41 individual pistes, which can be accessible by its 22 lifts. The slopes of the vacation resort spans out amongst the four interconnected valleys of Valle dello Scoltenna, Val di Luce, Valle di Lima and Valle del Sestalone. These slopes represent one of the most great, renowned and and scenic view of the Apennines. The pistes at Abetone will pose a fantastic problem, reaching at one,800 metres, on a clear powder day.

From Pisa airport, you can access the motorway on heading to Casa Marginetta, and from there, you can vacation for yet another hour through a clear major highway to go to Abetone. On the other hand, travel time from Venice airport going to the resort would consider about three hrs depending on climate and road problems. From Florence airport, the vacation would final for much less than two several hours. From Bologna airport, you would have to make a 70-kilometre drive just before you can arrive to Abetone.
There are also different techniques to get to the skiing vacation spot. The closest rail station to Abetone is Pracchia. Bus solutions are also obtainable to transport you there if you are from Pistoia, Pisa, Florence, Modena or Luca. Rental cars, taxis and ski transfer firms, no matter whether shared or non-public vehicles are also really much accessible from any of the airports talked about.
The attractiveness and attraction of Abetone not only depends on its panoramic see or white-covered mountains but also in its welcoming accommodations and facilities.

Botanicula follows the journey of five insects to save their tree habitat from being overran by spider-like parasites. There are no cohesive written or spoken words to progress the story or describe what your task is. Instead, the game relies on animations, pictures, and arrows to give hints.
At first, it may seem baffling, but once you understand how the game works, you will make progress, partly by using a bit of logic, and a bit of trial-and-error. The puzzles are quite like Swords & Sworcery where you have to click sets of objects multiple times, or in some specified order, but luckily it's a bit more obvious, charming and fun. The game is split into several chapters and in each one you have a main task of acquiring a set number of items such as 3 feathers, 5 keys, 3 babies etc.
On each screen, there will be many obvious objects to click and experiment with, and some not so obvious objects which may require pixel-hunting to find the interactive objects. Some objects require more than a click, so you may need to drag or shake them instead. Sometimes, it may be more like a point-and-click adventure where you need to get one item, and give it to another character to progress.
There's plenty to discover in the game's world. As you interact with plants and animals, it may trigger reactions, and a card may get added to your collection. As a sub task, it can be your aim to fill your encyclopedia of the games ecosystem. A lot of the creatures are down-right bizarre and there are a lot of surreal moments during the game, especially since it gets progressively weird as you reach the game's climax.
The world produces a lot of sound when interacted with as well as its own ambient noise, which is a bit of a mix of Swords & Sworcery and Proteus, but again, Botanicula seems to have the upper hand.
There's plenty of indie games that barely have any game-play and may rely on other ways of entertainment such as sound. Games like Swords & Sworcery and Proteus seemed to rely too much on sound, but Botanicula has a more balanced system between great sound, visual charm, and game-play elements, meaning it can just about pass itself off as a game as well as an intriguing and charming experience.

'The ad experiences that consumers find most annoying are also bad for the environment': The business case for sustainable digital advertising
May 4, 2022 | By Ronan Shields
Ivy Liu
Sustainability is one of the hot-button issues in the 21st century and one that's increasingly generating discussion at the highest echelons of the advertising industry.
True, the cause is noble, but now ad execs are increasingly starting to see the opportunity for cost-efficiencies as well as new business opportunities posed by embracing such thinking.
The Ad Net Zero report from the Advertising Association cites a 2020 study of U.K. execs noting that 71% of respondents are worried over the potential negative impact the ad industry could have on the environment. Not only that, 91% claimed employers taking positive steps to reduce their carbon footprint will likely lead to an increase in their job satisfaction.
Harriet Kingaby, co-chair of the Conscious Advertising Network, explained to Digiday how the rise of technologies such as AI has prompted multiple marketers to ponder how digital is impacting their brands' CSR commitments.
"A lot of these technologies such as NFTs etc. are using a lot of carbon," she said referencing a study from the University of Cambridge that details how mining for Bitcoins uses more electricity than nations the size of Argentina, Pakistan or Sweden.
"As we use these kinds of technologies more and more, it's really important that they are not increasing the carbon load of their advertising placements," added Kingaby. "If we think of how brands have been trying to think about making their physical supply chains carbon-neutral, then it only makes sense that their digital supply chains follow suit."
Such notions have also caught the attention of some of the industry's leading names with serial ad tech entrepreneur Brian O'Kelley making sustainability the central purpose of his latest venture Scope3. Both Kingaby and O'Kelley, claim media agencies have increasingly started to mirror the public sustainability pledges of their consumer-facing clients in the past 12-months with the latter noting how ad tech companies using such wares are starting to see material benefits.
Scope3 uses multiple data points to help companies model the carbon footprint of their activity. "There are four major components for emissions to a web page," he explained to Digiday. "There's the device or browser, like, when the CPU from Javascript and rendering page, then there's the energy from data transmission when things are going through 5G or WiFi, the production cost of the content, then there's the targeting and analytics."
It's on the final aspect where O'Kelley, an executive who helped usher ad tech into the mainstream of the ad industry, aims to help the media industry realize the benefit of more responsible thinking by aggregating data from multiple sources to assess the carbon footprint of an ad impression.
"We've built one of the most accurate pictures of the advertising supply chain that's ever been put together by building a proprietary model for how a DSP or SSP works … we can run a full simulation of the internet," he explained.
For instance, Scope3 recently ran an analysis of The Trade Desk's recent decision to stop bidding on ad inventory sold via Google's Open Bidding platform, estimating that the demand-side platform saved 5,387 tons of Co2 in the process.
O'Kelley told Digiday that such thinking is increasingly top of mind for both consumer-facing brands, their media agencies, and even for potential investors in, otherwise, potentially niche areas such as ad tech. For instance, those companies taking a responsible approach to their carbon footprint are less likely to experience employee disgruntlement, or even a consumer boycott, over such issues in the future, he points out.
"I would say that in the U.K., France and Australia it is the number one [CSR] topic from [media] agencies and brands," he added. "I think in the U.S. it is, probably number two or three, but definitely rising."
Speaking separately with Digiday, Kevin Flood, a partner at investment firm First Party Capital, explained his theory on how a low carbon mindset could also equate to savings when it comes to running ad campaigns.
Presently, the high number of transactions processed across multiple trading platforms means the carbon footprint involved in the monetization of a single web page — not to mention the processing fees involved — can escalate quickly.
However, Flood claimed that a 'batch-based' approach to media buying (as opposed to constantly listening to bid requests in real-time) could reduce the carbon footprint required for each ad loaded on a page. For instance, if a buy-side player seeks to purchase ad impressions on search or social, they can push an API-based order into the walled garden of their choosing on an intermittent basis.
"If sellers are going stop communicating IDs in the bid stream then increasingly, audience execution will be done in the publisher ad server," he explained. "So there's no need for impression-by-impression real-time buying. Then you pull the results every one-or-10 minutes, or every hour, update your pricing, targeting algorithm so it's not done in real-time … [then] there's no need for all of those server costs and that high-bandwidth or the environmental impact of that."
Meanwhile, Scope3 is also partnering with Blockthrough, a company that helps publishers recover revenue that could potentially be lost to adblocking software, to help buyers access low carbon ad inventory from a single trading platform by the close of June.
Marty Krátký-Katz, CEO of Blockthrough, told Digiday the impending launch demonstrates that publishers don't have to trade off "doing what's right" and revenue and that the platform is on course to host inventory from up to 20 publishers by the close of the second quarter.
"We'll be packaging up low carbon ad products in PMPs [private marketplaces]," explained Krátký-Katz. "Interestingly, it turns out that some of the ad experiences that consumers find the most annoying are also bad for the environment."

Q: SharePoint 2013 Image Rendition Quality Is there any way to set the quality of the image rendition feature?
By default it creates images with a low setting that produces a lot of compression artifacts.

A: I'm not completely sure what you mean by image rendition quality. If you mean compression quality I cannot help, but you can change the resolution using the SharePoint Design Manager.

*

*Verify that the user account that is performing this procedure has,
  at minimum, Design permissions to the top-level site of the site
  collection.

*In a browser, go to the top-level site of the publishing
  site collection.

*Choose the Settings icon. On the Site Settings
  page, in the Look and Feel section, choose Image Renditions.

*On the Image Renditions page,
  choose Add new item.

*On the New Image Rendition page, in the Name
  box, enter a name for the rendition. For example, enter
  Thumbnail_Small.

*In the Width and Height text boxes, enter the width
  and height, in pixels, of the rendition, and then choose Save.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj720398(v=office.15).aspx
EDIT:
I've done some research and it seems that there is no way to change the image encoding quality!

Q: How to identify tracts that share a boundary or node? I'm trying to identify the tracts (from a selection of 1,198 tracts) that share either a boundary or a node to maximize the total number of tracts (statewide) that meet this criteria.
The output should show a swatch of tracts stitched together by a line segment or a corner to form a contiguous run across the state (with no isolated tracts like the tract marked with a red "X" in the attached screenshot).
I've read the Polygon Neighbors tool will achieve this.  However, only first order contiguity is examined in Polygon Neighbors.
I believe this means the output may include a set of tracts that neighbor EACH OTHER but are disconnected from the rest of the tracts.  I need all tracts to be connected by a series of nodes or boundaries across the ENTIRE STATE to represent a continuous run of tracts connected statewide.
Suggestions for how to achieve my goal? I'm using ArcGIS Pro.

A: An untested workflow could be this:

*

*Dissolve all polygons, You'll need to play around with allowing multi-parts I think?

*Union the results of #1 with source data.

*Results would be many source polygons take on the ID of the dissolve polygon ID. Your red cross example would have 1 entry. Those could be identified by a simple summary tool.

Continuing my challenge updates, I'm looking at two more books I read with odd criteria. I picked these up at the library the same day, because they were the kind of criteria I felt I could only fulfill by literally going to the library and pulling something off the shelf more or less at random!
I decided if I was going to read by cover alone, I'd be better off in the kids section…and I decided that cover included title and any words on said-cover. So when I found a cover that appeared to show a girl being lifted into a room by a giant hand, with an intriguing title and a tagline about unlocking the secret of the Thorne rooms, I figured it was worth a go.
It turned out to be a story about Ruthie and Jack, who find a magic key that lets them shrink down in size and enter a series of tiny rooms on display at a museum—and eventually to travel into the past through the rooms. Which, I have to say, is a pretty great premise to stumble into by chance!
This is a good fantasy, especially if you like relatively tame adventures. They get into some trouble by venturing into the rooms, and into the past, but nothing very scary and there's no overarching epic story to the adventure either. The adventure has some nice results, but is mostly just a cool exploration of interesting places.
This also turned out to be a somewhat rare thing in books—a friendship between a boy and a girl that stays totally platonic. Granted, Ruthie and Jack are only about twelve, but I feel like most books are either about siblings, same-gender friends, or veer into at least a hint of flirting. This is just a story about two kids who are friends, and happen to be different genders.
It's not really coincidence that I ended up with two books from the M section…that's where I was looking. But I got to read the summary of this one, and was intrigued by a castaway story of a boy who forms a special friendship with a dog.
This one turned out to be a nice concept with iffy details—and I got so hung up on the details it kind of spoiled things for me. The island Jack lands on was abandoned by its human occupants years earlier, but the sheep dogs are still there, and still guarding and herding the sheep. They're also at periodic war with a group of dogs who have turned feral.
And the problem is…the sheep dogs don't kill the sheep. Nor is it clear that they're hunting anything else on the island. And in fact, one of the dogs thinks at one point that if the wild dogs kill a sheep, that means the sheep dogs get to eat. So…I think the sheep dogs only eat when the wild dogs get past them and make a kill. Which they're exerting all their effort to prevent. And…that just doesn't make any sense.
Similarly, Jack seems to solve the problem of survival within a few days, despite not having much of anything to work with, and then doesn't appear to need to exert himself greatly after that. And I just couldn't get behind a castaway story where survival is that easy (I read Hatchet, it's hard work!) and, most crucially, eating is apparently an optional thing.
Which is really too bad, because the friendship between Jack and Moxie, one of the dogs, is really quite nice, and the sections from Moxie's point of view were pretty clever, as she tries to understand this strange human…but seriously, they have to be eating!
I hopped over to Goodreads to add the 68 rooms to my list – but was put off by the numerous reviews saying how the premise was great but the writing… not. Would you say that was realistic?
I think the writing was a little simple, as one would expect for a Juvenile book, but I didn't notice any glaring issues. I have noticed this is a series–I haven't read beyond the first one, so I don't know how things go in the later books, if that might be influencing reviews.


Unfortunately, my kitty has been having breathing issues (we've ruled out a polyp, sinus issues, the weather and a bacterial infection so far, but still not sure), so that's taken up some time - but I still feel pretty good about everything I've accomplished recently, so I thought I'd update with some of my favourites.
In other news, Doll North released the theme for this year's Masquerade: Manga and Anime of the 1990's! I'm planning to enter again this year and have already started my entry. ^^ I picked something a little less ambitious than last year, so I feel pretty confident I can pull it off. We don't have to keep it secret this year, so I'll write a blog post when I'm a little farther along.
They changed the contest to size tiers this year as well, which I think is a great move. Unfortunately, they've also made a few changes to the Market... so I don't think I'll be selling this time around, but maybe next year. At least it will give me a lot of extra time to build up stocks. ^^ Haven't decided 100%, but I think we'll just go for the Sunday this year since there's not too much going on on the Friday or Saturday.

FiveThirtyEight.com is a data journalism website founded by Nate Silver that makes many of the datasets used for their articles openly available on GitHub.com. The fivethirtyeight R package acts as an intermediary to make all this data, its documentation, and links to the original articles easily accessible to R users. Furthermore, the package "tames" the data: the data is pre-processed enough so that the biggest barriers to data exploration faced by novice R users are eliminated, but not so much that the true nature of the data as it exists "in the wild" is completely betrayed. In this webinar, I will present the corresponding set of "tame" data principles, discuss the pedagogical thinking behind them, and present illustrative examples involving datasets from articles on FiveThirtyEight.com.

'Harbat': Speaking to the dead, the living — and now Americans, too
A few pages into Nabarun Bhattacharya's lean and sumptuous "Harbart" sits a family tree hung with names like "Girishkumar," polysyllabic knots many Americans can't undo. One look begins to explain why the novel has gone 25 years without a translation from the Bengali, despite prizes in India for both the book and movie adaptation.
Based in Kolkata all his life, the late Bhattacharya was born in 1948, just after his country became independent. "Harbart" may be his best-known accomplishment, but he wrote much more, including journalism, poetry and magical realist narratives adapted to theater and pop songs. All of it is committed to making the dominant culture look "googly." The term derives from cricket; originally a nasty screwball pitch, it has come to signify an insult, a warning — bad news.
Such social critique energizes everything Bhattacharya did. In this 1994 novel, the very title is subversive, a Bengali corruption of the English "Herbert," and protagonist Harbart Sarkar runs a con game: "Conversations With the Dead." His office is in the home, in the "cowmen's slums," far from the comfortable districts of the "shahebi," the English. Nonetheless, the venture achieves success. Harbart attracts a skid-row crew who call him "Boss," and together they enjoy the occasional "lion-league night" of drinking.
Crucially, though, Harbart doesn't see his vocation as a fraud. He's such a true believer that, when doubts assail him in the novel's first pages, they trigger "a heart-rending wail." The Boss even speaks of a "last supper," then treats his homies to their greatest "booze bash" yet. The next morning, they find him cold in his bed, his "vein slashed." So bumptious an opening, at once comic and tragic, raucous and dreary, it transcends the challenges of long names and "skin-rotten street dogs whimpering in their dreams." After that, the narrative doubles back to Harbart's upbringing, sketching how he came to this.
To call the man's childhood "traumatic" would be putting it mildly. Orphaned young, relegated to an uncle's attic, Harbart suffers the kind of treatment that, as this berserk biography suggests, may have damaged his "still-solidifying brain." What affection he enjoys, from his teenage nephew Binoy, is cut short after the boy dies at the hands of the police. Miraculously, Binoy shows further kindness; he visits Harbart as a ghost, giving the protagonist his first "conversation with the dead." Indeed, nearly all Harbart's inklings of a better life take mystical form. After he finds his vocation, he stumbles around Kolkata's battleground of the haves and have-nots and glimpses a fairy "holding aloft a lamp."
Thus the grim milieu is graced with something gentler, more playful. The fairy even hovers over Harbart's suicide, and a similar lighter touch informs the prose, enlivened by assonance and alliteration. Case in point, the neighbor girl with whom Harbart is infatuated: "Buki, beautiful, dust-skinned, soft, slightly saucy-breasted Buki." On top of that, Bhattacharya tosses in rhyme. When a father scolds his boys, calling them "Sons of b—es," they mutter in reply: "Your loins' riches." There are even echoes of T.S. Eliot. Such effects attest to the care and sensitivity of the translation by Sunandini Banerjee.

The book's final chapters mostly concern the spiritualist enterprise, its improbable rise and inevitable fall. Still, just as Harbart became a star to his fellow down-and-outers, his self-destruction blossoms into an unlikely triumph. The text's celebratory afterword, by acclaimed author Siddhartha Deb celebrates both the author's "prodigious, relentless output," and his trailblazing aesthetics — finding a "new way for fiction" while his country was "drowning under the onslaught" of the West. This first U.S. publication brings off a remarkable resurrection, one that erupts full-blooded, alive with laughter, stink and rage.

Do your daughters or sons still ask for your promise? Your nieces or nephews? I don't know about you, but I am mindful that as we grow up, we seem to have little time for promises. By 10 or 12, we know better than to ask for a promise; we've been disappointed once or many, many times and we test others' merit and watch them closely before entrusting our desires or sharing our fears. Our trust grows calculated and our interactions contractual, with unspoken rules and codes.
And life goes on. And it works… well enough. But something, I think, tends to go quiet inside of us when we cease to put hope in promises.
A promise says — I honor your request and pledge myself to fulfill it. You may count on my integrity. You may rest in my strength.
Yes, that is what I want. But here is the rub— we have all decided that promises don't belong in our grown-up world. They have grown cheap and disheartening through political rhetoric, subjective and foolish thanks to moral relativity, confused and non-binding. We don't trust in promises anymore, and we are afraid.
And still… there is Jesus, whose very last recorded words were a promise that comes for us over and over and over again, day after day: "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high" (Lk 24:49). I love those words. They both give us a promise and call us to be a promise.
We are promised power from on high, the Comforter—He is with us and for us, speaking on our behalf before the throne and offering us strength, never leaving and always holding love and blessing for us.
And that is not all. Jesus promises that the Father's name will be proclaimed in every nation. That is our job. We are the Father's promise— we are His pledge to never leave one another. We are His grace to those who feel rejected and abandoned. We are his goodness, integrity and strength.
So my fear of receiving promises, my belief that I am unworthy or foolish to offer a promise to others, my choice to rely on myself rather than risk that you will love me well—that all flies directly in the face of the deepest calling and best gift I will ever know this side of heaven.
I want to make promises this year. And I want to receive them. I guess it all starts with receiving the Comforter's promise.
And I want to start promising that I am coming with Jesus for the lonely. I am coming for the afraid. I am coming for those who have made choices they regret… who have borne pain, abuse and addiction. I have carried those weights. I promise, I am here and I am staying.
I wonder if we have lost the "depth and value" of our offered words – are our spoken words not held with integrity? Do we need to use the word "promise" – for our words to have honesty and commitment? Your words brought some deep thoughts for me this morning – thank you Katy – wise woman !
This is making me think about my own resistance to those words "I promise." I found myself too many times on the receiving end of my kids' disappointment when circumstances beyond my control changed plans we'd made – and I heard "but you promised." In reality I think very carefully before saying those words, aware of all that could happen, yet I hear you calling out the self-protection in that…and I want to consider your call to risk promising.
I love this reminder of what He promises especially when you shared, "He is with us and for us, speaking on our behalf before the throne and offering us strength, never leaving and always holding love and blessing for us." This feels particularly needed especially when engaging in others who do have the power to disappoint and wound.


A Million-Bed Hospital for Vietnam?
Not with Me, Says Digital Health.
"It would take a million-bed hospital to respond to the demand," I found myself, with tongue in cheek, telling Dr. Hùng, the dynamic and affable director of the Children's Hospital 1, as I saw hundreds of people in a waiting room overflowing into the courtyard. I felt from the sparkle in his eyes that he was up to the challenge.
During a genealogy-focused trip to Vietnam, the personal visit put me directly in front of the challenging state of health care in the country, despite the evident courage and dedication of the under-resourced and overworked medical staff there.
With nationwide public hospital bed occupancy rates at 120% or more, there's a strong likelihood that if you're admitted in a hospital, you will end up sharing your bed (not just your room) with another patient, who might be even sicker than you, sleeping with their bare feet next to your nose. Surprisingly, nosocomial infection rates here are now almost at par with some hospitals in the US, thanks to a comprehensive nosocomial infection control program in place for more than 10 years.
Vietnam is a country of 95M inhabitants with a GDP that has more than tripled in the past decade, on track to exceed $200B for 2016 and to jump from the 48th to the 35th largest economy in the world by 2020, comparable to Israel's current GDP rank (with a much smaller population). With such growth and rising life expectancy, health care issues are coming to the front, and addressing them is a high priority now.
Key questions started to rush in my digital health entrepreneur's head like motorbikes on a busy Hanoi street: What could be the role of technology in the country's quest to modernize its healthcare infrastructure? What are the roadblocks to adopting productivity-boosting innovations, such as telemedicine and remote monitoring?
I had come to visit the largest of only 2 Children's Hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, with 1,500 beds, almost 3 times larger than the largest children's hospital in the US (Texas). It delivers all services free of charge to any child under 6, or from poor families, and is specialized in pediatric cardiac services, with a 99% success rate in open heart surgery. Treating on average 5,500 outpatients per day, with up to 8,000 on busy days, the staff of 1,700 never turns down anyone. Some time ago, they even admitted two Cambodian children coming from afar with severe burns.
Bed occupancy rates here exceed 100%, but it's not as much a deal with smaller patient sizes, and fortunately, much progress has been accomplished in recent years, with much more to come.
One major reason why so many parents prefer to take the long trek to the city instead of checking in at the local clinic is their often justified perception of lack of local qualified staff. So improving training and support at the rural level is expected to curb the flow of rural patients compounding the overwhelmed hospital capacity issue.
Applying evidence-based medicine, implementing Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines, achieving ER admission rates at a low 5%, combined with telephone appointments and consultations, the hospital is increasingly leveraging technology and best practices. Total Quality Management, using music and team exercises, enforces stringent hand washing rules, and with the One-Stop Clinic principle, patients get their medicine on the spot.
Most importantly, the brand new, 1,000 bed Children's Hospital Ho Chi Minh City, opens mid January 2017, which should dramatically improve the situation here. At Children's Hospital 1, there are already plans to build two new wings with dozen stories to expand capacity. All this will certainly enhance patient experience dramatically.
Building on all these great accomplishments, what are the key challenges ahead?
In partnership with the Polytechnic University HCM City, the hospital IT department is developing an in-house EMR system with the ultimate goal of interconnecting nationwide with other healthcare centers. Clearly, issues such as standardization, ease-of-use, reliability, scalability, and extensibility, will have to be addressed in due time to continue to benefit from the latest innovations in digital health.
This is where inspired collaboration with qualified universities and digital health experts in more advanced countries could help shorten time-to-release, improve quality, and facilitate early adoption of best practices to leverage the well-known opportunity to skip older generations of technology solutions when starting from scratch.
Implicitly, we both know it will still be a long road. As the saying goes, even a thousand mile journey starts with one step, so the question for now is, what is the right next step?
As a former management consultant at a think tank for major public and private organizations in Europe, I know we need to keep the conversation going to improve understanding of the local needs and the potential of digital health. Maybe an updated qualitative study of the information management situation at the three Children's Hospitals in the city would be a logical next step.
Along with the heavy investment of building new capacity, it would make sense to gather workflow facts from the field, to understand what already exists, where the weakest links are in the chain of services from the rural villages to the eventual hospital discharge, to identify the appropriate remedies, technological or otherwise, and prioritize how and where they might be most effectively deployed.

Q: Randomly redirect with PHP I'm trying to redirect 2 URL randomly but it not working.
My Code
<?php
$urls=readStack();
if(empty($urls)) {
    $urls = shuffle(array('https://domain1.com', 'https://domain2.com'));
    $url=array_pop($urls);
    storeStack($urls);
    header('Location:' .$url);
?>

Help how to fix this?

A: I don't know what readStack() and storeStack() are but you probably want something like
$arr = array('https://domain1.com', 'https://domain2.com');
shuffle($arr); // This returns a boolean and the array is modified inside the function so just pass in the array
$url=array_pop($arr); // Pop the top most element from the array and store into $url
header("Location: $url");

That code alone gives you a random url from those two

Monitoring volcanic activity at the Soufrière Volcano - A model for volcano monitoring operations in small-island nations

dc.description Since its devastating eruption in 1902, the Soufri􁪽re volcano of St. Vincent has been kept under surveillance by a varied assemblage of local individuals and overseas-based scientists. The establishment of the Seismic Research Unit in 1952 led to the development of a sustained program of volcano monitoring that has evolved in response to changing conditions at the volcano and to improvements in technology. The volcano monitoring program in St. Vincent currently comprises two components: a small locally staffed volcano monitoring unit and a regionally based scientific organisation. Funding is provided by the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines through contributions made to the regional organisation and as recurrent expenditure for the operations of the local unit. The monitoring program has worked well in the past and can serve as a model for regions similar to the Eastern Caribbean in which small island nations with limited resources are exposed to a volcanic hazard. This paper traces the development of volcano monitoring operations on St. Vincent and provides an overview of its current composition. It makes a case for the St. Vincent model to be used as a template for similar operations in other islands that may require a similar level of surveillance at their volcanic centre.

With winter months rapid approaching now is the moment to think about maintaining your house cosy and also secure by purchasing hacienda shutters or solid shutters. As the nights obtain darker and also the nights cooler, we wish to activate the lights, turn up the main home heating and also make our houses snug and also warm. Shutters offer an appealing method to maintain the heat in, whilst likewise maintaining your personal privacy. This article will take a look at the advantages of hacienda shutters and also solid shutters to maintain your house safe and also cosy this period.
Stemming from pre civil battle The U.S.A., hacienda shutters are louvered panels which could either be fixed to the within, or outside of doors and windows. They are available in wood, repainted wood or can be waterproofed for use in bathrooms, wetrooms, shower rooms and also pool.
Ranch shutters come in 3 types: coffee shop design shutters, complete height shutters and also tier on tier shutters. Café design hacienda shutters are a really smart and also cost effective method of presenting shutters in the house.
As the name suggests, unabridged shutters cover the whole home window and also are a straightforward and also appealing option for the office or home. The 3rd alternative, tier on tier shutters, cover the whole home window aperture in 2 areas. These offer a functional solution, as the louvered panels can be opened individually of one another to regulate lights degrees and also personal privacy.
Unlike hacienda shutters, they consist of solid panels, instead of louvers and also are popular today in brought back period houses. In addition, solid shutters make great partitions as they could be made use of as high quality, light folding doors.
When the weather condition turns cold outside, it could rapidly affect the temperature level inside. Winds, frost and also rain could quickly reduce the temperature level of an office or home and also trigger you to put on an extra layer of clothes or turn up the home heating, leading to higher home expenses.
Both solid shutters and also hacienda shutters could assist to insulate your house against the cold, by lowering heat loss via home window glass.
If you pick solid shutters for your house, then these can be closed totally to include a layer of wood which entirely covers the home window, lowering drafts and also cools. This can be particularly effective in bedrooms in the evening, where you will likewise benefit from deep restorative rest brought on by the black-out result they produce.
In various other rooms you might choose hacienda shutters. Right here the louvered slats can be relocated to the closed placement, or partly closed, to still allow in some natural light. Or you could pick coffee shop design shutters or tier on tier shutters to reduce drafts and also heat loss via the bottom fifty percent of your home window and also allow light in via the top.
One more element that is more important in winter months, when the nights are much longer and also darker, is safety and also personal privacy within your house. This is because when it is dark outside, and also light inside it is easier for people to see in. Both hacienda shutters and also solid shutters act as a barrier to quit this occurring, ensuring your personal privacy, modesty and also safety!
Solid shutters can be totally closed in the evening time, for a cosy protected feeling within your house and also complete personal privacy from the outside world. They likewise make it much harder for a trespasser to barge in, due to the substantial extra layer they would have to break through. Throughout the day, shutters could be opened once again to allow in ventilation and also natural light.
Ranch shutters could likewise be switched to the closed placement as dusk drops. Or the louvered slats of hacienda shutters can be quite smartly readjusted so that even during the day, when you need light to be allow into the space, a sightseer's line of sight is cut off, blocking their sight into your house.
With winter months rapid approaching now is the time to assume regarding maintaining your house cosy and also secure by spending in hacienda shutters or solid shutters. Ranch shutters come in 3 types: coffee shop design shutters, complete height shutters and also tier on tier shutters. Café design hacienda shutters are a really smart and also cost effective method of presenting shutters in the house.
Or you could pick coffee shop design shutters or tier on tier shutters to reduce drafts and also heat loss via the lower fifty percent of your home window and also allow light in via the top.

A bit of unfinished business, as I'd DNF'd my previous two attempts at this race.
However, it's a climbers race, with 680m of vertical for a 26km lap, so not really where I expected to do well. Even though I was in pretty good nick, the repeated assaults of Mt Stromlo took their toll. Finished 10th out of 14 starters in the over 50's. Didn't have enough over 60's for a category apparently Overall, 73rd out of 95 starters.
I was fortunate enough to win this category at last year's event. It came on the back of some decent raining for the BC Bike race. I was pretty fit back then.
It started with the fact that this race was moved forward a month because of clashes with other events. When I found out I was in Canada on a month long skiing holiday. I knew that wasn't going to leave me with much time for any training when I got back to Sydney.
Won't say too much here as it was relatively uneventful other than it was a great course, great event with a great atmosphere to which I am sure would make James proud.
Minter (Warthog) and I have just finished the inaugural Pioneer MTB race in New Zealand. The race is a seven day mountain bike stage race through New Zealand's Southern Alps starting in Christchurch and ending in Queenstown. http://thepioneer.co.nz/ The scenery and location must be largely unparalleled anywhere in the world where you can race. Jaw droppingly spectacular!!
Four years ago, Nobmob (and other) social rides were a common routine. But when I saw this ride posted after a year of training and racing (among a few other things such a "bit" of study/work), I realized I haven't done any social rides the whole year. As much as nobmobbers tell me I have a lot to teach them about what happens near the front of a race, the reality is, you're the ones teaching me.
Thought I'd keep the racing season going a bit longer after the Fling and also just had to give the new Niner Jet9 a workout, so drove up to this event, about 5 hrs north of Sydney, near Gunnedah and Tamworth (or as near as things get out there).

Q: Is there a way to get images to display with ASP.NET and app_offline.htm? When using the app_offline.htm feature of ASP.NET, it only allows html, but no images.  Is there a way to get images to display without having to point them to a different url on another site?

A: If you don't support browsers prior to IE 8, you can always embed the images using a data URI.
http://css-tricks.com/data-uris/

A: If you're willing to do a little more work you can easily create a custom page to take the application offline.
One possible solution:

*

*Create DisplayOfflineMessage.aspx: Contains label to display your offline message from Application["OfflineMessage"].

*ManageOfflineStatus.aspx: Contains an offline/online checkbox, textarea for offline message and an update button. The update button sets two application level variables, one for the message and a flag that states if the application is online. (This page should only be accessible to admins)

Then in Global.asax
 public void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     Application["OfflineMessage"] = "This website is offline.";
     Application["IsOffline"] = false;
 }

 public void Application_OnBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     bool offline = Convert.ToBoolean(Application["IsOffline"]);

     if (offline)
     {

         // TODO: allow access to DisplayOfflineMessage.aspx and ManageOfflineStatus.aspx

         // redirct requests to all other pages
         Response.Redirect("~/DisplayOfflineMessage.aspx");
     }
 }

A: I have an idea.
You can create separate application, pointed to the same folder, without ASP.NET enabled. Then accessing to images by this application will not be affected by app_offline.htm file.
Or, point that application direсtly to folder with static content, there will not be any app_offline files.
But, of course, you need to assign separate dns name for this application, kind of static.somedomain.com.

A: Yes, it just can't come from the site that has the app_offline.htm file. The image would have to be hosted elsewhere.

A: Another solution is to embed the image inside the app_offline.htm page using a data URI.  There is wide support for this these days - see the following for full details -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_URI_scheme

A: You could just convert your images to base64 and then display them:

                Web under maintenance with image in base64

I've created a Fiddle where you can see it in action

Jones Was In Fact A Gypsy Spy
Rumours had been rife for some time that Cardiff City's departing manager, Dave "Davey" Jones, had closer ties than many would have expected to their nearest, and bitter rivals Swansea. The West Walian club, also known as the Jacks, and dubbed The Gypsies due to their preference to driving to games in caravans rather than the coaches and trains favoured by the wealthier fans of other clubs, yesterday secured promotion to football's top tier, The Premiership. But Welsh Icons can exclusively reveal that this was largely due to information fed to Swansea by Jones, along with him frequently cocking things up for Cardiff on a grand scale in order to ensure that Swansea's promotion hopes were made the more easy.
Many Cardiff fans – also known as The Bluebirds – had suspected that "something was up" after conceding 12 goals in their last four games two seasons previously to ensure that they missed out on the Championship play-offs that year by one goal. This was despite being previously top of the form table. Six of those goals were conceded in one single game to Preston, and it was Preston who took the Bluebirds place in the play-offs after all. To compound Cardiff fans' misery, Dave Jones oversaw a 3-0 defeat to struggling Ipswich in the last game at their previous ground, Ninian Park (much loved by fans) whereupon predominantly white balloons – the colour of their rival team – were launched into the air above the ground, and the Cardiff team were made to run round the ground in white shirts and shorts. This was also the year that Swansea were promoted into the Championship, so it is possible Jones was working for the Jacks even as far back as 2009.
A source close to the Swansea club, and fan of the team, who will not be named, but who has supplied [Welsh Icons] with some useful evidence stated, "I had long suspected the link between Jones and the Jacks. So yesterday, during Swansea's game against Reading, I looked into my crystal ball and through the mist, a vision of Dave Jones came into view. I knew it was him by his folded arms and grim expression. I was listening to the game on my wind-up clockwork radio at the same time, and when Swansea won the match I could see Dave Jones shouting, "That's my boys!" It was when he actually then smiled – something he had never done in his six years at Cardiff – that I was convinced that after all this time, he had in fact been a Jack spy."
Some Cardiff fans loyal to the Scouse manager – who enjoyed a £90,000 a week salary during his reign at Cardiff (with undisclosed bonuses from his other employers, the Swansea team) – and is reported to be receiving in the region of £800,000 to have his contract terminated, no doubt will be disbelieving of the new revelations. Disc Jockey for popular radio station, The Waiting Game, who had previously been considered to have little or no interest in the beautiful game has been heard to say, "I cannot understand how this man has been sacked. Yes we've waited 6 years for him to get Cardiff promoted, but I'd have been prepared to wait 60 years, as long as it was under his reign. The fact that I have never been to watch the team play, and probably never will, has no bearing on the validity of my opinion." The source mentioned above has been asked to look into whether this DJ may also have Gypsy links.
