Q: How to get country code information using geonames service api not the html5 location object thing I am trying to get the country code of the user's current location using Geonames Servcie API. And I believe geonames service API will return me two letter country code instead of three letter country code and I need three letter country code. So for this, I have made the mapping between two letter country code and three letter country code.
Below is my code, and some how, my alert box is not working at all. I am pretty much sure I am missing something?

        <title>Visitor's location</title>

    URL

What wrong I am doing in my above code? Below is the error I am getting on the console.
Uncaught ReferenceError: position is not defined

A: Using HTML5 Geolocation you could do :
$(document).ready( function() {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
            $.getJSON('http://ws.geonames.org/countryCode', {
                lat: position.coords.latitude,
                lng: position.coords.longitude,
                type: 'JSON'
            }, function(result) {
                alert('Country: ' + result.countryName + '\n' + 'Code: ' + result.countryCode);
                $('#newURL').attr('href','https://www.google.com&jobid='+result.countryCode);
            });
        });
    }
});

FIDDLE
Or you could use a service:
$(document).ready( function() {
    $.getJSON("http://freegeoip.net/json/", function(result){
        alert('Country: ' + result.country_name + '\n' + 'Code: ' + result.country_code);
        $('#newURL').attr('href','https://www.google.com&jobid='+result.country_code);
    });
});

From the childhood, we learn that cheating is bad, but not all types of cheating are bad. In addition, if you do not bother about cheating when you are playing the most popular Pokémon go game, then cheating with hacks is the best way to enjoy the game. All the people around you are catching Pokémon and if you want, you can use hack tools and cheats to make the game easier for you. You are going to find this game in the app store and there are many cheats that you are going to need. Fortunately, it is easy.
Before you go for the cheats there are few things that you will have to keep in mind. There are people who have got their accounts banned because they used hacks from wrong locations. There are full chances that the cheat you are using will make you ban. Hacks that got them banned teleported the players from one level to another. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention from where you are getting hacks. With a reliable hack tool, you will move in the game and control Pokémon instead of teleported.
These pokemon go cheats are very useful to those looking for new ways to catch the pokemon by the hacking the GPS of the game online. These would result in earning of extra pokecoins which you can use to generate more and more pokecoins.
There is one more important thing that you have to keep in mind before you go for the Pokémon go hack. There are hack tools with the jailbreak and without jailbreak. Without wasting any time, you just have to look at the comments or reviews of the tools on the website. The more you are going to know about the location and the tool the more safe you are going to feel. If you find a site reliable with ago hack tool, but jailbreak is required, then you must follow the instructions, which are available on the site. If you do not have any idea, then go for easy tools.
So now it is also possible to hack snapchat account using these tricks at this website and the other user of the snapchat account would be not be able to found that his snapchat account is hacked.


Hydroponics is the system of growing plants without soil. Plants are grown in a controlled environment setup using Floating Raft Technology, the most water conscious system amongst other hydroponic systems.
Nurtured in RO water along with a 3 step Hygiene Process.
Stripped of all Insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.
Optimum growth of the plant is reached with highest nutrition value.
We are local producers ensuring that our produce is not genetically modified.
Floating Rafts Growing Technology is certainly the most water conscious system among existing hydroponic growing systems. One of its key feature is the use of a large volume of water allowing enormous buffer for fertilization and oxygen control and economic plants' transportation by flotation. This large buffer brings a level of security and easiness that no other growing system can match.

Politically connected boards, ownership structure and credit risk: evidence from Chinese commercial banks
Agyenim Boateng, Yang Liu*, Sanjukta Brahma
This study explores whether the nature of ownership may condition the extent and impact of political connections on credit risk decisions. We find politically connected boards to exert significant influence on credit risk. Further evidence shows that ownership type of the bank moderates the link between politically connected boards and credit risk. Specifically, state owned banks appear to be more susceptible to credit risk while independent directors in private banks tend to be effective monitors. Our findings have important implications for bank stability and provide a means to measure the success of corporate governance reforms carried out in emerging countries over the past two decades.

Q: OSX Terminal.app SSH port I feel like a complete dunce - but I cannot seem to connect with Terminal.app and SSH to a non-standard SSH port. I'm on Mountain Lion.
I've tried all of the following:
$ ssh myuser@mysite.com -p 42586
$ ssh myuser@mysite.com -p42586
$ ssh -p 42586 myuser@mysite.com
$ ssh -p42586 myuser@mysite.com

I cannot seem to get the syntax right, all of the above produce an error. What is the correct order of flags? I have checked the man page and it shows it as preceding the [user]@[domain] section, however, this throws an error as well.
Edit:
More information and raw terminal output:

Examples 1 and 2 hang until timeout. 3 and 4 produce a grep usage echo as well as an ssh usage echo.
Edit 2:
Thanks for the suggestion @topguncoder my original attempt was the colon notation - but that produces a different error:
$ ssh myuser@mysite.com:42586
ssh: Could not resolve hostname mysite:42586: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

A: Try
"ssh" -p 42586 mysite.com

to ignore your alias settings. It looks like you might have ssh aliased to something else. If this works, you should check your .profile for any ssh aliases.

A: I believe that on your system, the ssh command somehow was redefined as the grep command. Try this:
alias | /usr/bin/grep ssh

What do you see? Also, try this:
/usr/bin/ssh -p 42586 myuser@mysite.com

Do you have a success connection? If ssh was aliased into something else. Check the following files:

*

*~/.bash_profile

*~/.bashrc

*~/.profile

You can then remove the alias, or use the absolute path (e.g /usr/bin/ssh)

Dinosaur Jr. – Dinosaur / You're Living All Over Me / Bug [Reissues]
With the release of three vintage records by Dinosaur Jr, it is understandable to see why they once ruled the earth; or at least the indie world.
Phillip E. Hardy
I have no bloody clue what the hell I was listening to 20 years ago but I am willing to bet it was nothing resembling the sound of Dinosaur Jr. They were an influential indie band in the style of the Pixies and MTV says, they "injected late-'80s alternative rock with monumental levels of pure guitar noise." Well, pardon the hell out of me but I never heard of them before Merge records sent me three of their old albums now being issued as cute little compact discs. Therefore, my lack of being cognoscenti in the category of this trio of extinct earthly creatures renders my ears fresh with anticipation and objectivity.
The first Dinosaur Jr. disc, Dinosaur, was released in 1985 and curiously enough, if a band sent me this record and told me they recorded it last week, I wouldn't have known the difference. Though not incredibly technical on their respective instruments, the threesome of J. Macis, Lou Barlow and (a lad simply known as) Murph competently joined their musical talents to fashion a tight little band. For my old ears, the standouts on this freshman release are "Does it Float," which sounds like a psychedelic version of early REM jacked up on amphetamines and far more melodic "Severed Lips," a song that (God bless MTV) does remind me of the Pixies more accessible material.
The sophomore record, You're Living All Over Me, was originally released in 1987 and with stronger musicianship, sharper lead vocals and more complex arrangements displays the band's growth over a two year period. Interesting twists like the extremely long intros and dynamic song arrangements make this second album more original. A track called "Raisans" nearly jumps off the CD player with high energy and enough melody to deserve some airplay on alternative rock stations. I found both the cryptic love lyrics and Violent Femmes sounding vibe on "In a Jar" both a compelling read and a great listen. This outing is agreeably capped off by a high octane cover version of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven" that I much prefer to the original. The roaring guitar solo, reverb laden sound effects and creative arrangement exhibit the bands ability to be creative while sounding like they were having a blast.
Dinosaur Jr. followed up with Bug in 1988, which is more polished than the previous two records comparatively, falls short in the area of unbridled exuberance. "Freak Scene," a song that sounds like a distant cousin to something the Replacements might have written is a solid opener. "Yeah We Know" is also a well crafted rocker that is enhanced by rolling tom-tom grooves and syncopated guitar riffs. Beyond that, I did not find this third outing particularly engaging.
Merge Records is a quality indie label with a discerning ear for new talent. The recent success of the critically acclaimed Arcade Fire is a shining example of their knack for promoting new music. Additionally, journeyman groups like American Music Club and Dinosaur Jr. are finding a home for their music. With the release of three vintage records by aforementioned prehistoric critters, it is understandable to see why they once ruled the earth; or at least the indie world.
