Thanks for this lovely gown.
I have seen a few renders of the Long Elegant Dress which have the feet in a high heel or tip toe pose. Please make sure the feet are in a flat pose, as the hem of the dress should be touching the floor NOT 2 inches above. It looks silly like that.

I am excited to be presenting a CLE (Continuing Legal Education) class for the New Lawyers Section of the Minnesota State Bar Association on May 10th, entitled "Keeping It Real: Transformative Mediation Offers A New Way to Help Clients in Conflict"!
I am co-presenting with Dan Simon, a leader in the field. We will explain the transformative theory of conflict that forms the basis for the model of mediation, share insights on the unique benefits that the transformative model offers, and provide an overview of the mediation options available to attorneys.
I am particularly looking forward to sharing tips for using the theory of transformative mediation to effectively represent clients during any type of mediation. The transformative theory of conflict teaches us that it is not only OK, but in fact helpful to allow clients to "Keep It Real" during mediation: as attorneys we can provide a way for clients to regain control, address their "intangible" concerns which are often ignored, have the conversations that they really want to have, and more!

Kevin Williamson Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Kevin Meade Williamson (created March 14, 1965) is an American screenwriter, producer, director, and performer, best known as the inventor of the TV series "Dawson's Creek" (1998–2003), "The Vampire Diaries" (2009–present), and "The Following" (2013–current). He's also widely known for developing and writing the screenplay for the slasher film "Scream", along with the sequels "Scream 2" and "Scream 4".
Paul Stupin, an executive at Columbia TriStar Television, read Scream following the bidding war for the script and was convinced Williamson was only the guy to produce a television series because of his business. The end result was Dawson's Creek, a semi autobiographical story set in a tiny coastal community not unlike Oriental. Williamson was the model for the title character, Dawson Leery, a hopeless romantic who's obsessed with films—particularly those of Steven Spielberg. Joey Potter, the platonic girl-next door, was based on a real-life friend of Williamson's when he was young. Subsequently in 1996, Stupin and Williamson went to, and reached a deal with, The WB. Dawson's Creek premiered on The WB on January 20, 1998, and was an instant success that helped start the newly created television network. In 1999, Williamson left the show to concentrate on additional efforts, among them ABC's Wasteland, which failed to attract a substantial audience and was canceled after its thirteen-episode first season. He afterwards returned to Dawson's Creek to write the two-part series finale in 2003.

Coronet $2.50 Quarter Eagle
Many rarities exist in Coronet quarter eagle series The Coronet $2.50 quarter eagle series may appear to be a boring, redundant series on the surface, but it is full of scarce dates of low mintages, very low mintage Proof coins and many interesting die varieties.
The coin was designed by Mint Engraver Christian Gobrecht and introduced in 1840. The design was used through 1907, outliving the designer by more than 60 years. The design appeared for so long that in Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins, Breen says it had "become one of the most familiar and unchanging national concepts since the Spanish Pillar dollar." There was very little change in the design during the period in which it was issued. Although the legislation was passed to add the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on U.S. coins, the inscription never appeared on the Coronet quarter eagle. In fact, the design appeared almost the same in its last year of issue as it appeared in the first year in which the design was struck. A lack of variations on such a likely series to be counterfeited became important for counterfeit detection. To minimize variations all Coronet quarter eagle dies were rubbed completely.
The only design elements that were not completely rubbed were the dates and Mint marks. Varieties of both the dates and Mintmarks are available to collectors for this reason. All dates were added by hand using four-digit logotypes. A smaller logotype was used for the dates 1840 to 1843. Since the change was made mid-year in 1843, Large Date and Small Date varieties of that year exist.
An interesting die variety appears in the arrows held in the talons of the eagle on the reverse. James B. Longacre modified the reverse in 1859.
Philadelphia Mint coins depict smaller arrowheads spaced further apart after this date.
The San Francisco Mint continued to use reverse dies of 1854 to 1857 with the larger arrowheads through 1876.
Coronet quarter eagles were struck at five different Mints: Philadelphia, San Francisco, Dahlonega, Charlotte, and New Orleans. The Mintmark appears under the eagle on the reverse of the coins.
There is no Mintmark for Philadelphia. A D appears for Dahlonega, S for San Francisco, C for Charlotte and O for New Orleans. A type set of Coronet quarter eagle coins of one coin of each Mint mark is a challenge to collect, especially in higher grades.
Perhaps the best-known coin in the series is the 1848 Coronet, CAL. countermarked coins. Col. R.B. Mason, the military governor of California, sent about 230 troy ounces of gold to Secretary of War William L. Marcy in 1848. The secretary of war, in turn, instructed Mint Director Robert M. Patterson to specially mark the quarter eagle coins to be struck from the California gold.
Since these coins were overstruck with the CAL. an inscription, several varieties exist. Among them are a triple overstrike and various positions in which the overstrike appears above the eagle on the reverse.
One of the key dates in the series is the Proof-only issue of 1841 known from perhaps 12 examples. Many of the known pieces are impaired Proofs.
The lowest mintages generally in the series are the Charlotte and Dahlonega coins struck before the Civil War, and Philadelphia coins from 1863 to 1872 and 1874 to 1877. The low-mintage Philadelphia coins were due to suspension of specie payments, with little gold bullion being received by the Mint.
The 1854-S Coronet quarter eagle is the lowest circulation strike mintage in the series. The mintage is 246 pieces, making it the third-lowest figure for any regularly issued U.S. gold coins.
There are four other dates in the Coronet quarter eagle series with mintages of less than 1,000 pieces. They are 1875 (420), 1881 (691) and 1885 (887). The highest mintage coin in the series is that of 1853. There were 1,404,668 coins struck with that date.
Other coins in the series with mintages of more than 1 million coins are 1851 (1,372,748 pieces), 1852 (1,159,681 pieces) and 1861 (1,283,878 pieces).

In seguito all'invasione russa dell'Ucraina del 2022, iniziata il 24 febbraio 2022, si sono verificate proteste, perlopiù contro l'invasione e per la pace, a livello globale.

In Russia
Dopo l'invasione dell'Ucraina il 24 febbraio 2022, sono scoppiate manifestazioni e proteste contro la guerra in tutta la Russia. Oltre alle manifestazioni, sono state redatte lettere e aperte numerose petizioni in opposizione alla guerra e numerosi personaggi pubblici sia culturali che politici, hanno rilasciato lettere contro la guerra.

Le proteste sono state accolte con una diffusa repressione da parte delle autorità russe. Secondo OVD-Info, almeno 14.906 persone sono state detenute dal 24 febbraio al 13 marzo 2022, incluso il più grande arresto di massa in un giorno nella storia della Russia post-sovietica il 6 marzo. Le organizzazioni per i diritti umani e i giornalisti hanno sollevato preoccupazioni per la brutalità della polizia durante gli arresti e OVD-Info ha segnalato diversi casi di manifestanti torturati durante la detenzione. Il governo si è anche mosso per reprimere altre forme di opposizione alla guerra, compresa l'introduzione di diffuse misure di censura. Altre persone che hanno firmato petizioni contro la guerra hanno subito rappresaglie.

Manifestazioni

Febbraio

Nel pomeriggio dell'invasione, il Comitato investigativo russo ha avvertito i russi che avrebbero dovuto affrontare ripercussioni legali per essersi uniti alle proteste non autorizzate relative alla "tesa situazione della politica estera". L'attivista dell'opposizione Marina Litvinovič ha invitato su Instagram a protestare la sera del 24 febbraio ma è stata arrestata dalla polizia mentre usciva di casa. Quella sera, migliaia di persone sono scese in piazza nelle città russe per protestare contro la guerra, tra cui circa 2.000 manifestanti a piazza Puškinskaja a Mosca, 1.000 a San Pietroburgo, e centinaia a Ekaterinburg, a Čeljabinsk, Nižnij Novgorod, Novosibirsk e Perm'. Alla fine della sera del 24, secondo il monitor OVD-Info, c'erano stati 1.820 arresti in 58 città, di cui 1.002 a Mosca. Il ministero dell'Interno russo ha giustificato questi arresti con continue "restrizioni relative al coronavirus, anche su eventi pubblici".

Il 25 febbraio sono continuate le proteste a Mosca, a San Pietroburgo e in altre città. A San Pietroburgo diverse centinaia di persone si sono radunate nel centro della città, gridando "No alla guerra!". OVD-Info ha segnalato 437 arresti in 26 città russe quel giorno.

Il 26 febbraio, alcuni manifestanti russi, per ridurre le possibilità di arresto, hanno organizzato proteste individuali a Mosca e in altre piazze cittadine. Altri si sono riuniti in piccoli gruppi per muoversi più agilmente per le strade. A Ekaterinburg centinaia di persone si sono radunate gridando "No alla guerra!". Nel corso della giornata almeno 469 persone sono state arrestate in 34 città, di cui circa la metà a Mosca, portando il numero totale degli arresti a oltre 3.000.

Il 27 febbraio, le proteste hanno coinciso con il settimo anniversario dell'assassinio del politico dell'opposizione Boris Nemcov e si sono verificati arresti ad un suo memoriale improvvisato fuori al Cremlino, dove è stato fucilato Nemcov. Circa 1.000 persone si sono radunate per una manifestazione spontanea contro la guerra vicino a Gostinyj dvor a San Pietroburgo. Secondo OVD-Info, entro domenica sera, la polizia aveva arrestato almeno 900 russi in 44 città, portando il numero totale di arresti a oltre 4.000 dall'inizio della guerra. Alla fine della giornata, secondo OVD-Info la polizia aveva compiuto 2.710 arresti (almeno 5.844 in totale dall'inizio della guerra). Alcune fazioni del Partito Comunista della Federazione Russa (generalmente a favore di Putin e dell'invasione), il Partito della Libertà Popolare, e Jabloko, si sono espressi contro l'invasione, questi ultimi iniziando una petizione anti-guerra firmata da oltre 40.000 persone in 2 giorni. Lo stesso giorno, un furgone con delle scritte che dicevano "Gente, svegliatevi!", "Questa è guerra", "Putin è feccia!" si è schiantato e ha preso fuoco in piazza Puškinskaja a Mosca.

Marzo

Il 1º marzo sono apparse sui social media notizie e fotografie, ripubblicate e confermate anche da Novaja Gazeta, che mostravano bambini delle scuole elementari dietro le sbarre, arrestati dalla polizia a Mosca per aver deposto fiori all'ambasciata ucraina e con in mano cartelli che dicevano "No alla guerra". Un centro di detenzione speciale istituito a Ekaterinburg ha esaurito lo spazio per i prigionieri arrestati durante le proteste.

Il 2 marzo, l'artista Elena Osipova, 77enne, è stata tra gli arrestati durante una protesta contro la guerra a San Pietroburgo. I video del suo arresto sono stati ampiamente condivisi su Twitter e Reddit. L'azione della polizia contro i manifestanti è proseguita il giorno successivo.

Il 4 marzo, l'attivista Julija Galjamina è stata arrestata e tenuta in custodia in attesa del processo, accusata di aver violato la legge sugli eventi pubblici nel tentativo di organizzare una protesta contro la guerra.

Il 5 marzo, prima delle proteste previste per il 6 marzo, la polizia russa ha fatto irruzione, perquisito e arrestato centinaia di giornalisti, politici e attivisti russi. Il 6 marzo hanno protestato decine di migliaia di persone in almeno 60 città, tra cui Vladivostok, Irkutsk e Chabarovsk. OVD-Info ha riportato oltre 5.000 arresti nel corso della giornata. Il ministero dell'interno russo ha riferito di oltre 3.500 arresti. Un video che mostrava il governatore dell'Oblast' di Kemerovo Sergej Civilëv che tentava di giustificare l'invasione ai manifestanti quel giorno è diventato virale. Il numero totale degli arresti ha raggiunto complessivamente 13.000 il 6 marzo.

L'8 marzo, Giornata internazionale della donna, il movimento della Resistenza Femminista Anti-Guerra ha riferito che le donne hanno deposto fiori sui monumenti di guerra in 94 città, tra cui 68 città russe. La polizia ha ordinato alle donne che deponevano fiori a Gostinyj dvor a San Pietroburgo di disperdersi e ha effettuato almeno 5 arresti. A Mosca i Giardini di Alessandro sono stati chiusi per bloccare l'accesso alla Tomba del milite ignoto, quindi i fiori sono stati lasciati nelle vicinanze. Almeno 93 persone, di cui almeno 60 a Mosca (tra cui 11 ragazze in piazza Manežnaja), sono state arrestate.

Nella settimana successiva alla Giornata internazionale della donna, diversi video sono diventati virali sui social media e mostravano la polizia russa che arrestava i manifestanti per aver semplicemente alzato un cartello bianco. Un altro arresto diventato virale è stato quello di una donna, arrestata per aver alzato un piccolo cartello che diceva "два слова" ("due parole" in russo). Entro la fine di marzo, è stato riferito che le proteste di massa si sarebbero in gran parte placate a causa della repressione delle autorità russe. Sono continuati alcuni atti individuali minori di opposizione alla guerra.

Da aprile 2022
Il pubblico ha organizzato una protesta contro la guerra al concerto del gruppo russo Kis-Kis a San Pietroburgo nel maggio 2022.

Sono circolate notizie non confermate su una protesta prevista per il 12 giugno, Giornata della Russia, che alla fine non ha avuto luogo. Le autorità di Mosca hanno arrestato 50 persone legate a tale eventuale protesta, utilizzando un software di riconoscimento facciale.

Proteste militari
A Voronež e Luchovicy sono stati registrati casi di incendio doloso negli uffici di arruolamento militare e nei dipartimenti di polizia a Krasnojarsk e Smolensk. In tutti sono state usate bottiglie Molotov. È stato riferito che alcuni soldati russi avrebbero disobbedito agli ordini di unirsi all'invasione. Il 12 marzo è stato riferito che circa 80 marines si erano rifiutati di combattere dopo essere stati schierati a Cherson e sono stati rimpatriati in Crimea. Il 7 aprile, il quotidiano di Pskov Pskovskaja Gubernija ha riferito che circa 60 paracadutisti russi in Bielorussia avevano rifiutato gli ordini, riferendo inoltre che i comandanti russi stavano bloccando i tentativi dei soldati di dimettersi dall'esercito russo e indirizzando invece quei soldati ai pubblici ministeri.

Altre azioni dirette
Oltre alle proteste, gli attivisti anti-guerra hanno anche affisso adesivi contro la guerra nei quartieri, scritto messaggi contro la guerra sulle banconote e hanno appeso manifesti che imitano i manifesti di persone scomparse, ma contenenti, invece, informazioni sui soldati russi uccisi nell'invasione L'artista Aleksandra Skočilenko è stata arrestata per aver sostituito le etichette dei supermercati con messaggi di protesta contro l'attacco aereo al teatro di Mariupol' e incarcerata per 8 settimane in attesa del processo ai sensi delle leggi russe sulle fake news.

Più di 30.000 addetti alla tecnologia, 6.000 operatori sanitari, 3.400 architetti, più di 4.300 insegnanti, più di 17.000 artisti, 5.000 scienziati, e 2.000 attori e registi hanno firmato lettere aperte chiedendo al governo di Putin di fermare la guerra. Alcuni russi che hanno firmato petizioni contro la guerra in Ucraina hanno perso il lavoro.

Oltre 281.000 russi hanno firmato una petizione per mettere sotto accusa Putin. Alcuni imprenditori, affaristi e miliardari russi, tra cui Oleg Deripaska, Michail Fridman, Oleg Tinkov, Michail Chodorkovskij, Nikolaj Storonskij di Revolut, Vladimir Lisin, Aleksej Mordašov e Andrej Mel'ničenko, si sono espressi contro l'invasione e hanno chiesto il ritiro delle forze militari russe dall'Ucraina.

Il 3 marzo la LUKoil, la seconda compagnia energetica russa dopo Gazprom, ha chiesto un cessate il fuoco e mezzi diplomatici per risolvere il conflitto.

Il 24 marzo è stato pubblicato su TikTok un video che mostra un manifestante che lancia bombe Molotov contro le mura del Cremlino di Mosca. Il 28 marzo, la studentessa di Mosca Anastasija Levašova è stata condannata a 2 anni di carcere per aver lanciato una bottiglia Molotov alla polizia durante una manifestazione contro la guerra.

Almeno 4 insegnanti sono stati arrestati per aver criticato l'invasione nelle loro classi. Il 3 marzo, il ministero dell'istruzione russo ha incaricato gli insegnanti di tenere lezioni spiegando agli studenti "perché la missione di liberazione in Ucraina è una necessità". Il 20 marzo, sei donne hanno bloccato il traffico su un ponte a Zelenčukskaja chiedendo informazioni sui loro parenti mandati a combattere in Ucraina. Tutte e sei sono state arrestate.

Il 14 marzo, Marina Ovsjannikova, editrice di Pervyj kanal, ha interrotto la trasmissione del principale telegiornale del canale Vremja durante la prima serata alzando un cartello con un messaggio contro la guerra. Il cartello diceva: "NO GUERRA. Ferma la guerra. Non credere alla propaganda, qui ti viene mentito. Russi contro la guerra".

Ovsjannikova, figlia di padre ucraino e madre russa, ha anche pubblicato un video preregistrato su OVD-Info in cui esprimeva vergogna per il suo ruolo nella diffusione della "propaganda del Cremlino" su Channel One. È stata detenuta dalla polizia più tardi quella sera ed è stata rilasciata, secondo TASS. Ovsyannikova è stata arrestata e successivamente rilasciata di nuovo il 17 luglio dopo aver organizzato una protesta solitaria al Sophia Embankment, di fronte al Cremlino, due giorni prima.

Nel maggio 2022, il cantante rock Jurij Ševčuk è stato processato dopo aver parlato contro Putin e la guerra in Ucraina in un concerto a Ufa.

Altri hanno tentato di rimuovere i simboli delle azioni filo-russe, come la lettera Z. Un uomo, poi fuggito in Armenia, secondo quanto riferito, ha fermato un'auto con la lettera Z sul parabrezza con una pala e ha ordinato agli occupanti dell'auto di strappare via la lettera.

Nell'Ucraina occupata dai russi
Durante l'invasione russa dell'Ucraina del 2022 e la conseguente occupazione russa di Paesi e città in Ucraina, si sono verificati numerosi episodi di resistenza non violenta da parte della popolazione civile contro l'occupazione. I residenti locali hanno organizzato proteste contro l'invasione russa e, talvolta, tentato di bloccare il movimento dei militari russi, scatenando risposte in cui, in taluni casi, i russi hanno aperto il fuoco, causando, secondo alcune fonti, alcuni morti e decine di feriti.

Human Rights Watch ha riferito di casi di tortura di cittadini, manifestanti, giornalisti, attivisti, volontari, funzionari e prigionieri di guerra nel sud dell'Ucraina occupato dai russi.

Febbraio
Il 27 febbraio, a Dniprorudne, i residenti con il sindaco hanno bloccato la strada all'esercito russo.

Il 28 febbraio, a Berdjans'k, quando le truppe russe erano già in città, i residenti hanno organizzato una protesta. Raduni simili si sono poi ripetuti spesso. Il 20 marzo, le truppe russe hanno sparato in aria, minacciando i manifestanti e reprimendo una manifestazione.

Dall'1 al 2 marzo, migliaia di residenti di Energodar hanno bloccato l'ingresso in città ai convogli militari russi. Il 20 marzo, in città si è tenuta una manifestazione contro il rapimento di residenti e funzionari da parte delle truppe russe. Il 1º marzo, a Melitopol', i residenti locali hanno organizzato una manifestazione di protesta durante la quale hanno marciato lungo il viale da Piazza della Vittoria all'edificio della SBU, occupato dall'esercito russo. Secondo la pubblicazione online locale Our City, "incapaci di resistere alla pressione [fuori dall'edificio], i soldati russi hanno aperto il fuoco, prima in aria e poi sui cittadini" e "una persona ha ricevuto una ferita da arma da fuoco al ginocchio". Secondo il servizio ucraino della BBC News, i residenti locali hanno organizzato una protesta pacifica, con diverse migliaia di persone, sotto le bandiere ucraine e hanno accusato i soldati russi di aver bombardato e saccheggiato negozi. Dal 10 marzo, le proteste attraverso il centro di Melitopol si sarebbero ripetute quotidianamente.

Il 1º marzo, a Kup''jans'k, nell'Oblast' di Charkiv, si è svolta una manifestazione dispersa da parte dell'esercito russo.

Dal 2 marzo si sono svolte proteste regolari a Prymors'k.

Il 2 marzo, vicino al villaggio di Vodyanoye, nell'Oblast' di Zaporizzja, i residenti locali hanno bloccato la strada alle truppe russe. Si sono svolti negoziati tra il sindaco di Vodyanoye e il sindaco del vicino villaggio di Kamenka con un rappresentante della parte russa, il quale ha proposto che se al convoglio militare fosse stato permesso di passare attraverso l'insediamento fino a destinazione, nessuno sarebbe stato ferito; i residenti hanno rifiutato. Secondo il sindaco della vicina Enerhodar, intorno alle 15:30 ora locale, le truppe russe hanno aperto il fuoco sui manifestanti, ferendone due.

Anche a Starobil's'k il 2 marzo i residenti ha bloccato la strada ai russi. Il 6 marzo, la gente del posto ha sostituito la bandiera della RPL alzata dalle truppe russe vicino all'edificio del governo locale con la bandiera ucraina.

Il 4 marzo, dopo l'occupazione di Novopskov, nell'Oblast' di Luhans'k da parte delle truppe russe, i residenti locali si sono recati a una protesta sotto le bandiere ucraine. Secondo Ukrains'ka pravda, citando i residenti locali, una persona è rimasta ferita a seguito di sparatorie contro i manifestanti a Novopskov. Il 5 marzo la popolazione locale ha nuovamente protestato e su di loro è stato nuovamente aperto il fuoco di avvertimento; secondo il capo dell'amministrazione statale regionale di Luhansk, Serhiy Haidai, 3 residenti locali sono rimasti feriti.

Il 5 marzo, i residenti di Cherson sono andati a una manifestazione con bandiere ucraine e hanno cantato che la città è ancora ucraina e non sarà mai russa, nonostante l'occupazione. L'esercito russo ha aperto il fuoco di avvertimento contro i manifestanti. Allo stesso tempo, la polizia nazionale ucraina ha pubblicato un video in cui un agente di polizia di Cherson, con in mano una bandiera ucraina, è saltato su un blindato russo che stava passando davanti alla manifestazione, e i residenti locali hanno sostenuto la sua azione con grida e applausi. Il 7 marzo, l'ufficio del procuratore regionale dell'Ucraina di Kherson, sulla base dell'articolo 438, parte 2, del codice penale ucraino (violazione delle leggi e dei costumi di guerra, associata all'omicidio premeditato), ha aperto un procedimento penale sulla morte di un manifestante a Nova Kachovka. Secondo l'indagine, durante una manifestazione del 6 marzo, l'esercito russo ha aperto il fuoco indiscriminatamente contro i manifestanti "nonostante il fatto che le persone fossero disarmate e non rappresentassero alcuna minaccia", provocando almeno un morto e sette feriti. Il 20 marzo, i manifestanti a Cherson hanno affrontato diversi veicoli militari russi dicendo loro di "andare a casa". Il 27 aprile, a Cherson l'amministrazione comunale è stata respinta e dispersa la protesta filoucraina.

Il 6 marzo, c'è stata una protesta a Novotroitske, nell'Oblast' di Luhans'k. Il 7 marzo, c'è stata una protesta a Tokmak.

Il 16 marzo, si è radunata una protesta contro l'arresto del sindaco a Skadovs'k.

Ci sono state proteste a Slavutyc il 26 marzo, quando la battaglia di Slavutyc si è intensificata, con la Russia che ha tentato di occupare la città. Più di 5.000 residenti della città hanno preso parte a una protesta pacifica, fino a quando non è stata interrotta dalle truppe russe che sparavano colpi di avvertimento e lanciavano granate stordenti sulla folla, ferendo almeno un civile.

Aprile
Il 2 aprile, le truppe russe disperdono violentemente una manifestazione a Energodar con esplosioni.

Nel resto del mondo

Si sono verificate manifestazioni e proteste pro-Ucraina anche in Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaigian, Bangladesh,Bielorussia, Belgio, Bolivia, Bosnia ed Erzegovina, Brasile, Bulgaria, Canada, Cile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croazia, Repubblica Ceca, Danimarca, Ecuador, Estonia, Finlandia, Francia, Georgia, Grecia, Ungheria, Islanda, Indonesia, Iran, Irlanda, Israele, Italia, Giappone, Kazakistan, Kosovo, Kirghizistan, Lettonia, Libano, Lituania, Lussemburgo, Malesia, Malta, Messico, Moldavia, Montenegro, Nepal, Paesi Bassi, Nuova Zelanda, Macedonia del Nord, Norvegia, Pakistan, Panama, Perù, Filippine, Polonia, Portogallo, Romania, Serbia, Slovacchia, Slovenia, Sudafrica, Corea del Sud, Spagna, Sri Lanka, Svezia, Taiwan, Thailandia, Turchia, Stati Uniti, Regno Unito, Uruguay e Venezuela.

Durante un referendum costituzionale, i manifestanti bielorussi a Minsk hanno gridato "No alla guerra" nei seggi elettorali. Secondo il ministero degli affari interni della Bielorussia, quel giorno sono state arrestate 800 persone.

Il 26 febbraio si sono svolte proteste di massa a Tallinn, Tartu e Narva. Il consiglio della polizia estone e della guardia di frontiera ha stimato che 30.000 persone stavano partecipando alla protesta a Tallinn al suo apice. Questa è stata la più grande protesta del Paese dopo quelle del 1991, quando ha ripristinato la sua indipendenza.

A Praga, circa 80.000 persone hanno protestato in Piazza San Venceslao. Il 26 febbraio, diversi camionisti di Freedom Convoy a Chicago hanno protestato contro l'invasione.

Il 27 febbraio, più di 100.000 si sono radunati a Berlino per protestare contro l'invasione russa. Il 28 febbraio, invece della tradizionale sfilata del Carnevale di Colonia, cancellata pochi giorni prima a causa del COVID-19, più di 250.000 (invece dei previsti 30.000) si sono radunati a Colonia in un marcia per la pace per protestare contro l'invasione russa.

Russofobia
Oltre alle proteste, sono stati segnalati anche casi di russofobia e discriminazione contro la diaspora russa e contro gli immigrati di lingua russa provenienti da Stati post-sovietici in seguito alla guerra. In Germania, la polizia ha registrato 383 reati anti-russi nell'aprile 2022 e parte della popolazione di lingua russa ha protestato contro "l'odio e le molestie", separatamente e in inferiorità numerica rispetto a una contro-manifestazione simultanea pro-Ucraina.

Diverse città hanno cambiato i nomi delle strade con nomi pro-Ucraina, spesso modificando di conseguenza gli indirizzi delle ambasciate russe.

Sha'Carri Richardson tests positive for cannabis
Richardson was billed to run the 200 meters at the Stockholm Diamond League meeting in Sweden this weekend, but was not on the entry list for the race on the meeting's official website on Thursday.
Cannabis is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), but if athletes can show that their ingestion of the substance was not related to athletic performance, a three-month suspension is imposed instead of the usual four years.
If an athlete is willing to undergo an approved treatment program in collaboration with their national anti-doping body, the ban can be reduced to one month.
The Texan was aiming to become the first American woman to win the Olympic 100-meter title since Gail Devers in 1996 after posting 10.72 seconds in April, one of her five runs of less than 11 seconds this season.
A 30-day ban retroactive to the time of the adverse outcome could leave Richardson free to compete in the 4x100m relay at the Olympics on August 6, if selected by the USATF.
Richardson could also appeal any sanction to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), just like any other sports body that considers a punishment too lenient.
Meanwhile, Norwegian Karsten Warholm broke Kevin Young's 400m hurdles world record when he completed the race in 46.70 seconds in front of his home fans at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo on Thursday (Friday AEST).
Warholm surpassed the 1992 Olympic champion Young's mark of 46.78, which was set four years before the Norwegian was born and was the oldest record on the men's track.
Two-time world champion Warholm ran to an early lead and never gave up as he was roared all the way to the finish line, which crossed ahead of 2019 Pan Am Games champion Alison dos Santos by more than six-tenths second.
"I knew I had a fast time on my body," Warholm said. "It might take another world record to win the Olympics."

The achievement capped a string of strong performances at the Diamond League meet, where Australian Stewart McSweyn set a new Oceania record on the Svein Arne Hansen Dream Mile, renamed in honor of the former European athletics president who died last year.
McSweyn, who holds all Australian records between 1,500 and 10,000m, took the lead on the third lap and finished about five meters behind Marcin Lewandowski of Poland and Jye Edwards of Australia in third place.
"My season is heading in the right direction for the Olympics. I want to try to stay healthy by going to Tokyo. I still have some things to work on, "McSweyn said in quotes. reported in Athletics Weekly.
"The 1500m is going to be a very close competition, but I am confident to enter it. I considered doubling down with the 5000m, but the heats are too close together and I still don't feel strong enough for that.
Stewart McSweyn has qualified for the 1500 meter, 5000 meter and 10,000 meter events in Tokyo. Credit:AP
"I felt in good shape for tonight and this has shown it. I really wanted to do well for Svein. That gave more fire to get it right tonight. "
In field events, Australian world champion Kelsey-Lee Barber settled for third place in the javelin at 59.30m, while Germany's Christin Hussong won with 60.95m.

This Valentine's Day share the San Marcos you love, with the ones you love! Whether you're spending Valentine's Day celebrating your friends, family, pet, significant other or yourself, San Marcos has plenty of activities to love.
San Marcos has been named one of the best main streets for nightlife as well as one of the most romantic main streets in America, so naturally you're in for a good date night exploring our downtown area. The San Marcos Square has plenty of restaurants and nightlife options for the choosing. You can dance the night away or enjoy each other's company in laid-back style. And of course, what Valentine's date night would be complete without a stroll, and a kiss, in Kissing Alley?
The most important love of all is the love you show yourself (or so we've been told), so this month it's time to treat yo' self! Go get yourself something nice at the San Marcos Outlets or any of the boutiques or art galleries around town. Maybe take yourself to see a movie or go for a long hike.
Celebrate the month of love with those you love most – your family! Treat the little ones to a Glass-Bottom Boat Tour or a cave exploration. Or, maybe go for an afternoon trip to Children's Park. Cap it off with dinner at a family-friendly establishment that has something for the kids, and of course something for the parents, too. And a scoop of ice cream is the perfect way to call it a day!
There's plenty of ways to include your pet in this San Marcos love fest, but exploring natural San Marcos has to be our favorite. Before you start your day, grab a cup of coffee from Wake The Dead. Play fetch and test your dog's agility at the San Marcos Dog Park, or enjoy an afternoon hitting the trails. Grab something to eat at one of our local dog friendly restaurants and enjoy a local craft beer from Middleton Brewing.


Named after an album by swing era violinist Stuff Smith, Black Violin is a violin and viola-playing hip-hop duo from Florida consisting of classically trained musicians Kevin Sylvester ("Kev Marcus") and Wilner Baptiste ("Wil B"), who incorporate a variety of music genres into their distinctive string fare. The pair met as high school students in a Fort Lauderdale performing arts program and formed the group after attending separate universities. Quickly gaining a reputation for their dynamic performance style, the duo received national exposure after and appearance with Alicia Keys at the 2004 Billboard Awards and winning the talent show, "Showtime at the Apollo," in 2005.


The leader version of a tablet (within its replica) set goes down.
A new leader is elected.
The workload is such that the client didn't notice and adapt to the error on its own.
Todd says that Kudu's MTTR (Mean Time To Recovery) for write availability tests internally at 1-2 seconds in such cases, and shouldn't really depend upon cluster size.
Beyond that, I had some difficulties understanding details of the Kudu write path(s). An email exchange ensued, and Todd kindly permitted me to post some of his own words (edited by me for clarification and format).
The client wants to make a write (i.e. an insert/update/delete), which has a primary key.
The client applies the partitioning algorithm to determine which tablet that key belongs in.
It sends the operation to the "leader" replica of the correct tablet (batched along with any other writes that are targeted to the same tablet).
The leader enqueues the write to its own WAL (Write-Ahead Log) and also enqueues it to be sent to the "follower" replicas.
Once it has reached a majority of the WALs (i.e. 2/3 when the replication factor = 3), the write is considered "replicated". That is to say, it's durable and would always be rolled forward, even if the leader crashed at this point.
Only now do we enter the "storage" part of the system, where we start worrying about MemRowSets vs DeltaMemStores, etc.
Metadata and partitioning (map from a primary key to a tablet, figure out which servers host that tablet).
Consensus replication (given a write operation, ensure that it is durably logged and replicated to a majority of nodes, so that even if we crash, everyone will agree whether it should be applied or not).
Tablet storage (now that we've decided a write is agreed upon across replicas, actually apply it to the database storage).
These three areas of the code are separated as much as possible — for example, once we're in the "tablet storage" code, it has no idea that there might be other tablets. Similarly, the replication and partitioning code don't know much anything about MemRowSets, etc – that's entirely within the tablet layer.
Data will always be either in memory or in a persistent column store. So I/O speed will rarely be a problem.
Find the record(s) on the (rather large) tablet(s).
Check various in-memory stores as well.
All that needs to be checked is the primary key column.
The on-disk data is front-ended by Bloom filters.
The cases in which a Bloom filter returns a false positive are generally the same busy ones where the key column is likely to be cached in RAM.
Cloudera just assumes that checking a few different stores in RAM isn't going to be a major performance issue.
Kudu tablets feature data skipping among DiskRowSets, based on value ranges for the primary key.
The whole point of compaction is to make the data skipping effective.
Finally, Kudu pays a write-time (or compaction-time) cost to boost retrieval speeds from inside a particular DiskRowSet, by creating something that Todd called an "ordinal index" but agreed with me would be better called something like "ordinal offset" or "offset index". Whatever it's called, it's an index that tells you the number of rows you would need to scan before getting the one you want, thus allowing you to retrieve (except for the cost of an index probe) at array speeds.
1. It can not be called 100% storage because it can not store arbitrary data. So it can not replace HDFS and will be run alongside it. Is it true?
2. It is not classical NoSQL – since it is not schema-less, and schema migrations can became significant hassle, as for any fixed schema solutions.
I would call it "Analytical database distributed storage engine", which is built to be reused by execution engines like Impala and Spark.
1. It is not clear what happens with nested data? I see it as significant part of data processed in Hadoop ecosystem, and especially by Spark.
2. What happens with massive data insert? It is long time problem with many NoSQls – how to load terabytes of data in hours.
3. As long time advocate of predicate push-down technologies i am curious : If it is C++ , how predicate push-down will work securely, at least from the stability viewpoint? Is there some kind of sand-boxing to be introduced?
4. If Kudu is run on the same cluster as HDFS, how space will be shared or balanced? We are yet to have YARN for disk space..
> 1. It can not be called 100% storage because it can not store arbitrary data. So it can not replace HDFS and will be run alongside it. Is it true?
That's correct. In the Hadoop ecosystem we use the term "storage" a bit more loosely than its traditional "enterprise storage" sense — we call anything that stores persistent data "storage". So, Kudu's storage by our terminology, but it's not a filesystem, and doesn't replace HDFS, unless all of your data strictly fits Kudu's relational data model. Our assumption is that most folks will run Kudu and HDFS together, and put each dataset in the storage engine that makes the most sense.
> 2. It is not classical NoSQL – since it is not schema-less, and schema migrations can became significant hassle, as for any fixed schema solutions.
Yep, it's true that it's not "classical" NoSQL (though the term made me chuckle a bit – was only 6.5 years ago I was at the very first NoSQL meetup in SF!). However, we put a lot of effort into ensuring that adding and dropping columns is very fast and low-impact – right now it blocks inserts for a couple of seconds on each server, one at a time, but we have a design that we can move to later which would only block for a couple hundred microseconds. So, given the common case of schema changes where you've just decided to collect some new data, that's pretty low impact.
I would also argue that, the way many people use NoSQL databases, they aren't "schemaless", but rather there is an "implied schema" which is baked into your application. You still do schema migrations — it just involves changing your code to read or write new columns (or JSON fields) instead of physically modifying the table schema itself.
Early in Kudu's development we considered a much more "open" schema design, but ended up opting for the relational table model for our first release. One of the major advantages here is its simplicity with integration into other tools (eg SQL engines or Spark) where the table metadata provides everything the engine needs to know for table mapping without requiring any special syntax from the user.
I'm sure in the future we'll start to offer more flexible options as well — we've discussed for a while the idea of a protobuf or JSON-typed field with operators within Kudu that will perform efficient (LLVM-jitted) pushdown and projection. Hopefully this mixed model will satisfy use cases where there truly is a rapidly changing or unknown schema.
> 1. It is not clear what happens with nested data? I see it as significant part of data processed in Hadoop ecosystem, and especially by Spark.
We don't support it yet. Agreed that nested data is important, which is why we're continuing to support plenty of storage options outside of Kudu 🙂 The next release of Impala, for example, will support querying nested data from Parquet files. I definitely anticipate adding some support for nesting within Kudu in the future, but as Curt mentioned in one of his posts here, these types of projects are huge and take a long time to get right. We opted for "quality" and "time" on the quality-time-scope triangle for our first release. Hopefully the community and customer base will agree that that was the correct trade-off!
> 2. What happens with massive data insert? It is long time problem with many NoSQls – how to load terabytes of data in hours.
I've seen this be more of a concern in artificial benchmark scenarios and less in real workloads. If you are loading 1TB/hour, that's 8.8PB/year before replication. If you retain three years of data, you'll need 80PB of space on your cluster. With 36TB per machine, you're talking 2000+ machines. That 1TB/hr spread across the 2000 machines you'll need for storage is 500MB/hour/machine which only works out to 138KB/sec if I did my math right, which is pretty trivial.
Of course data loading is a concern when you're migrating from another system, but less so in the ongoing operations.
To answer your question more directly: our data loading speed is decent, but it's not the area we've spent our time on thus far. For example, doing a 'CREATE TABLE x STORED AS PARQUET AS SELECT * FROM other_table' is 5-6x faster than doing the same to create a Kudu table within Impala. We believe we can improve that by at least 3x with low hanging fruit, but time will tell. For our first public release we put most of our effort into the read path optimizations.
> 3. As long time advocate of predicate push-down technologies i am curious : If it is C++ , how predicate push-down will work securely, at least from the stability viewpoint? Is there some kind of sand-boxing to be introduced?
We only offer pushdown of pre-defined predicates (eg range predicates on columns) so there isn't a sandboxing concern. We have some ideas on how to sandbox arbitrary UDFs in the future, but so far have only done a few prototypes/experiments in that area.
> 4. If Kudu is run on the same cluster as HDFS, how space will be shared or balanced? We are yet to have YARN for disk space..
HDFS has a configuration which allows it to stop using a disk once the amount of free space drops below a certain threshold. Kudu doesn't yet have this same feature, but we're planning on adding it. Beyond that, it's a matter of monitoring and alerting. In the future we have plans to add table-level (or perhaps user-level) disk quotas and better local space isolation featuers. But, for now, it's much the same as how MR scratch space shares space with HDFS. We know this isn't a great answer, and working on improving it before a GA release.
Sorry for the long-winded answer. Feel free to ask more questions if the above isn't clear.
Thank you for so comprehensive answer! If I understand you right it is more or less correct to categorize Kudu as "analytics oriented No-SQL".
what use case do you see as "typical" for Kudu?
Will Kudu provide memory mapped access to enable high performance engines to do their best?
That said — if one has inherently non-tabular data, is Kudu likely to offer much in the near future?
> I saw many cases when company is doing massive pre-calculation daily and than load TBs of data into HBASE.
> what use case do you see as "typical" for Kudu?
I won't say "typical" until we have more deployments 🙂 But I can share that Xiaomi, one of our development partners, is using it to implement a service which streams data in as it's generated off IoT style devices, and then allows their customers to perform ad-hoc analytics. Originally they were planning to build this using Parquet, but Kudu is now allowing them to offer fast random access lookups (eg fetching all the data for one customer or device in a few milliseconds), updates (eg correcting past data), and support for late arriving inserts (eg if a connection was down for some hours, they can still insert old data without partition-swapping heroics).
> Will Kudu provide memory mapped access to enable high performance engines to do their best?
> That said — if one has inherently non-tabular data, is Kudu likely to offer much in the near future?
and you'll get pretty good performance for key lookups as well as scans of the binary data. But, we don't have any support for medium or large BLOBs, so it's probably not a particularly good fit. I'd typically recommend HBase for cases where your data isn't well structured – most of the benefits of a true columnar store come from understanding typing and type-specific columnar compression.
I would tell that in Xiaomi case do sounds like NoSQL. Without Kudu I would tell that HBase is likely solution.
– We have stream of data which we have to analyze and some data arrives late.
– We have 99% of static data, with rare updates.
– We have history of events, with a lot of reports, but there is a need to find a few events for technical support in real time.
– We have segmented dataset (usually in SaaS companies), and we need to query each segment separately.
Yes, David, I think it is best to compare the alternatives.
For use cases similar to the one you describe, the current Hadoop solution was having HBase for random reads/inserts/updates/deletes, Impala on Parquet for fast analytics and of course, improvising some "ETL" jobs/stream processing to copy data from HBase to Parquet.
With Kudu, the app could just do random reads/writes to Kudu, and point Impala to the same copy of it. No ETL, just one (replicated) copy of the data, and hopefully reasonable / decent performance for both the OLTP workload and the analytics workload.
Ofir, David — you guys hit the nail on the head describing use cases. Thanks!
Regarding the Xiaomi use case in particular, Binglin Chang from their team will be presenting on it during my Strata session on Wednesday, if you're in town for the conference.
There has always been a local file system at each node with HDFS.
2) there is layering so we get a great distributed storage system on top of which different processing solutions can be built.
What are you hoping this distributed storage system will be great at storing? Is it everything from, say, single database records to video files? I'm not sure that's possible in its purest form.
I agree, it can't be all things or it will be less than stellar.
And that target replication factor = 1MB above makes no sense. The target is < 3.
I think Kudu is somewhere between your #1 and #2. Kudu itself is a storage system, and doesn't offer any "parallel database" functionality (eg join/agg/etc). We rely on loosely coupled (but well integrated) SQL systems like Impala running on top of Kudu in order to provide those features. I jokingly called this "BYO SQL" recently, but actually think it's a good description.
That said, it's a storage system specifically for tabular data. I think it's impossible to provide a pure "storage" abstraction (ie bytes-based) and also allow the kind of performance that Kudu provides across both random and sequential workloads.
Jeff pointed me to http://getkudu.io/kudu.pdf and I will read that before trying to have more opinions.
Todd – Have you looked at Druid? What are the differences with kudu? as far as I see, there is definitely an advantage in kudu for doing the random updates.. but beyond that?
Jumping in here — I'm not aware of a way to do analytic SQL over Druid.
Curt — Spark can be integrated over DRUID to provide the analytic SQL capabilities..
I doubt the performance of that combination is very good yet.

What type of Braking System Used In Metro Trains? How Does Metro Braking System work?
Metro train now becomes the backbone of our transportation. It reduces the dependence on buses, locomotive railways, car, and other vehicles. It becomes an important part of our life because of its services and high speed. We will discuss in this article how its braking system works.
What is Regenerative Braking system?
The regenerative braking system used in the electric trains and vehicles. Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism which slows a vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy into a form which can be either used immediately or stored until needed. In the process of the train when train applied a brake, kinetic energy releases and the current in the motors reversed which acts as a generator.
How does it act as a generator? These brakes shift the automobile's electric motor into reverse which makes it run backwards, in turn slowing the car's wheels. While running backwards, the motor also acts like an electric generator by creating electricity that's delivered into the car's batteries. It is also called as energy saving process because the regenerated electrical energy which is supplied back to the OHE is used by other accelerating trains in the same line.
Thus by the help of Regenerative Braking, we can use electricity in a very effective way and reduced wear of mechanical brakes.
How regenerative braking system work?

When we step on the brake pedal the transitional energy is converted into the rotational energy. The energy storage unit requires a unit that can handle torque and speed demands of the vehicle smoothly. An ON-OFF engine control system is used. That means that the engine is ON until the energy storage unit has been reached desired charge capacity and then is decoupled and
stopped until the energy storage unit charge fall below its minimum requirement. Brake controllers are electronic device that can control brakes remotely, deciding when braking begins ends, and how quickly the brake need to be applied. During the braking operation the brake controller directs the
electricity produced by the motor into the batteries or capacitors.
During accelration, the generator acts as an elecrtic motor drawing electric energy from batteries to give extra driving force. During brake electric supply is cut off.

How Metro Braking System works?
Each bogie is equipped with a spring-applied brake caliper. Each bogie has two independent hydraulic circuits: a service circuit and an auxiliary circuit . An electro-hydraulic module (EHM) mounted under the metro body performs simultaneously. The electrohydraulic module contains the entire hydraulic brake activation equipment, consisting of hydraulic pressure generation, pressure regulation, and electric brake control. All components are electrically controlled and monitored via three independent brake control units of type HEY-C which are integrated into the EHM module. Braking and electric control functions performed by the EHM module

If one were to name ten of the greatest English poets beginning with Chaucer and ending with Tennyson, the name of Shelley would be included, although he died before he was thirty years old. Hogg, a friend of Shelley's, has given us an interesting account of their meeting when both were freshmen at Oxford.
"At the commencement of Michaelmas Term," writes Hogg, "that is, at the end of October in the year 1801, I happened one day to sit next a freshman at dinner; it was his first appearance in hall. His figure was slight, and his aspect remarkably youthful, even at our table, where all were very young. He seemed thoughtful and absent. He ate little and had no acquaintance with any one. I know not how we fell into conversation, for such familiarity was unusual, and, strange to say, much reserve prevailed in a society where there could not possibly be occasion for any." This conversation led into a heated discussion of the merits of German and Italian literature. When the time for leaving the dining hall had come, Hogg invited his new acquaintance over to his rooms. During the transit the thread of the argument was lost, and while Hogg was lighting the candles Shelley frankly said that he was not competent to argue the point, as he had little knowledge of either German or Italian literature. Then Hogg with equal ingenuousness confessed that he knew but little of Italian and nothing of German literature.
So the talk went merrily on. Shelley said it made little difference whether Italian or German literature were the more worthy, for all literature, what was it but vain trifling? What is the study of language but the study of words, of phrases, of the names of things? How much better and wiser to study things themselves!
"I inquired," says Hogg, "a little bewildered, how this was to be effected. He answered, 'Through the physical sciences, and especially through chemistry,' and raising his voice, his face flushing as he spoke, he discoursed, with a degree of animation that far outshone his zeal in defense of the Germans, of chemistry and chemical analysis." While this is going on Hogg studies the youthful speaker. What manner of man is this brilliant guest? "It was a sum of many contradictions. His figure was slight and fragile, and yet his bones were large and strong. He was tall, but he stooped so much that he seemed of low stature. His clothes were expensive and made after the most approved mode of the day; but they were tumbled, rumpled, unbrushed. His gestures were abrupt, and sometimes violent, occasionally even awkward, yet more frequently gentle and graceful. His complexion was delicate and almost feminine, of the purest red and white; yet he was tanned and freckled by exposure to the sun, having passed the autumn, as he said, in shooting. His features, his whole face and particularly his head, were, in fact, unusually small, yet the last appeared of a remarkable bulk, for his hair was long and bushy, and in fits of absence, and in the agonies (if I may use the word) of anxious thought, he often rubbed it fiercely with his hands, or passed his fingers quickly through his locks unconsciously, so that it was singularly wild and rough. In times when it was the mode to imitate stage-coachmen as closely as possible in costume, and when the hair was invariably cropped, like that of our soldiers, this eccentricity was very striking. His features were not symmetrical (the mouth, perhaps, excepted), yet was the effect of the whole extremely powerful. They breathed an animation, a fire, an enthusiasm, a vivid and preternatural intelligence, that I never met with in any other countenance. Nor was the moral expression less beautiful than the intellectual, for there was a softness, a delicacy, a gentleness, and especially (though this will surprise many) that air of profound religious veneration that characterizes the best works, and chiefly the frescoes of the great masters of Florence and Rome."
The next day Hogg pays a visit to Shelley's rooms. The furniture was new and the walls were freshly papered, but everything in the room was in confusion. "Books, boots, papers, shoes, philosophical instruments, clothes, pistols, linen, crockery, ammunition, and phials innumerable, with money, stockings, prints, crucibles, bags, and boxes, were scattered on the floor in every place, as if the young chemist, in order to analyze the mystery of creation, had endeavored first to reconstruct the primeval chaos. The tables, and especially the carpet, were already stained with large spots of various hues, which frequently proclaimed the agency of fire. An electrical machine, an air pump, the galvanic trough, a solar microscope, and large glass jars were conspicuous amidst the mass of matter. Upon the table by his side were some books lying open, several letters, a bundle of new pens, and a bottle of japan ink, that served as an ink-stand, a piece of deal, lately part of the lid of a box, with many chips, and a handsome razor that had been used as a knife. There were bottles of soda-water, sugar, pieces of lemon, and the traces of an effervescent beverage. Two piles of books supported the tongs, and these upheld a small glass retort above an argand lamp. I had not been seated many minutes before the liquor in the vessel boiled over, adding fresh stains to the table, and rising in fumes with a disagreeable odor. Shelley snatched the glass quickly, and dashing it in pieces among ashes under the grate, increased the unpleasant and penetrating effluvium."
Hogg and Shelley soon became fast friends and met every evening. "I was enabled," writes Hogg, "to continue my studies in the evening in consequence of a very remarkable peculiarity. My young and energetic friend was then overcome by extreme drowsiness, which speedily and completely vanquished him; he would sleep from two to four hours, often so soundly that his slumbers resembled a deep lethargy; he lay occasionally upon the sofa, but more commonly stretched upon the rug before a large fire, like a cat, and his little round head was exposed to such fierce heat, that I used to wonder how he was able to bear it. Sometimes I have interposed some shelter, but rarely with any permanent effect, for the sleeper usually contrived to turn himself, and to roll again into the spot where the fire glowed the brightest. His torpor was generally profound, but he would sometimes discourse incoherently for a long while in his sleep. At six he would suddenly compose himself, even in the midst of an animated narrative or of earnest discussion, and he would lie buried in entire forgetfulness, in a sweet and mighty oblivion, until ten, when he would suddenly start up, and rubbing his eyes with great violence, and passing his fingers swiftly through his long hair, would enter at once into a vehement argument, or begin to recite verses, either of his own composition or from the works of others, with a rapidity and an energy that were often quite painful. During the period of his occultation I took tea, and read or wrote without interruption. He would sometimes sleep for a shorter time, for about two hours, postponing for the like period the commencement of his retreat to the rug, and rising with tolerable punctuality at ten, and sometimes, though rarely, he was able entirely to forego the accustomed refreshment."
After supper, which Shelley would take upon awaking at ten, the two friends would talk and read together until two o'clock.

Sometimes Christ's resurrection is confused with resuscitation. As if Christ's resurrection undoes the crucifixion. The affirmation of the bodily resurrection can, in the context of this confusion, lead to the naïve question about when did Jesus die again. But Christ's resurrection is nor merely resuscitation. Christ's resurrection is the claim that he went through death, and, as it were, out the other side to a new type of existence. For Jesus, the resurrection is not merely the next stage in his life, it is God's giving back the whole of his human life, so that in his resurrection the whole of his life, including his death is present.
Science is the study of cause and effect that can be verified and repeated experimentally. The resurrection of Christ is outside of Science precisely because of the claim that this never occurred previously and there is no subsequent example. It has not and cannot be repeated. It is unique.
The collect highlights that we share in, we participate in Christ's resurrection. We do this in our baptism, renewed in communion, lived out in our lives, focused in the liturgy. The collect prays for two benefits: our overcoming temptations against our growth into this fullness of life, and our holding to the hope that this fullness of life will be fulfilled.
through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen.
through Jesus Christ our Savior, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen.

Chess online description
Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. It is one of the world's most popular games, played by millions of people worldwide in homes, parks, clubs, online, by correspondence, and in tournaments Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting their own. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation by the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost, or if checkmate appears unavoidable. A game may also result in a draw in several ways, where neither player wins. The course of the game is divided into three phases: opening, middlegame, and endgame.

Q: Time bounded function with partial result in Haskell An initial value (x), function (f), a predicate (p) and a time bound (t) is given. I want to apply 'f' repeatedly on x till it satisfies the 'p'. But on the same time wanna make sure it doesn't exceeds time limit. If time exceeds 't', it should return the partial result i.e., a pair of a number 'n' and value of applying 'f' n-times on 'x', for the largest n for which it actually performed the computation.
If partial result condition is relaxed, this can be easily programmed as -
import System.Timeout

iter :: a -> (a -> a) -> (a -> Bool) -> Int -> IO (Maybe (Int, a))
iter x f p t = do
  let fs = x:(map f fs)
  timeout t $ return $! head $ filter (\x -> p $ snd x) $ zip [1..] fs

I want it to have signature similar to -
iter :: a -> (a -> a) -> (a -> Bool) -> Int -> IO (Either (Int, a) (Int, a))

With Left for partial result and Right for complete result.
An silly and trivial example use of above function is -
*Main> iter 1 (+2) (> 1000000) 1000000
Just (500001,1000001)
*Main> iter 1 (+2) (> 1000000) 100000
Nothing

I want the second call to return partial computed result. Is there a simple way to do it?
More practical examples can be Newton–Raphson method or gradient descent.

A: I believe it is simplest to delegate such tasks to libraries with better abstraction capability than that offered by base, e.g. async:
{-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns #-}

import Control.Concurrent.Async
import Control.Concurrent

iter :: a -> (a -> a) -> (a -> Bool) -> Int -> IO (Either (Int, a) (Int, a))
iter z f p maxt = do
  o <- newMVar (0, z)
  let loop old@(!i,x) = do
        modifyMVar_ o (const $ return old)
        if p x then return old else loop (i+1, f x)
  race (threadDelay maxt >> readMVar o) (loop (0, z))

race takes two IO actions and returns whichever completes first, killing the other. The left action completes only if the maximum time has elapsed, and that thread is able to read the MVar. Since the other thread holds the MVar for a short period of time (while it is writing the result) the worker will never be interrupted while writing the result.
Note also that the only thing that forces the chain of applications f $ f $ f.. is the predicate p - if you pass a lazy function (e.g. const False) then this will not work as you want. In practice there are few cases when you would use such a function (esp. with numeric computing), so it likely won't be of much concern. But in this case loop does no actual work and builds a ridiculously large number amount of applications:
>iter 2 (\x -> x * x) (const False) (10^6)
Left (472190,Interrupted.

My computer will never be able to print this result because it has 6.8×10^142142 digits. However:
>iter 2 (\x -> x * x) (<0) (10^6)
Left (24,Interrupted

This is a small number with only about 5,000,000 digits.

A: I believe your best bet is to use an IORef to keep track of the current computation state. Even if the computation is interrupted, its side effects won't be undone. Be sure to use just one IORef for both the counter and the current value; otherwise they could go out of sync in case of a timeout.
I'm not at all experienced with asynchronous code in Haskell, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems to work.
{-# LANGUAGE BangPatterns #-}
module IterTimeout where
import Control.Applicative
import Data.IORef
import System.Timeout

iter :: a -> (a -> a) -> (a -> Bool) -> Int -> IO (Either (Int, a) (Int, a))
iter x f p t = do
  ref <- newIORef (0, x)
  result <- timeout t (iterStep f p ref)
  maybe (Left <$> readIORef ref) (return . Right) result

iterStep :: (a -> a) -> (a -> Bool) -> IORef (Int, a) -> IO (Int, a)
iterStep f p ref = go
  where
    go = do
      old@(!oldCount, oldVal) <- readIORef ref
      if p oldVal
        then return old
        else writeIORef ref (oldCount + 1, f oldVal) >> go

This Jerry's Artarama water and brush bin keeps your brushes from soaking in the water which prevents the bristles from paint dry it becomes more beautiful. My mother gave me one when I was in college and I still have it- it's retired like me but brings back good memories when I look at it.
Here's a little tip- after you wash your brushes let them dry horizontally on a cloth or paper towel-it keeps the water from collecting in the metal ferrule.
A beautiful day to paint on the porch, don't you think!
