Joel (in teacher mode): Did I or did I not address the topic of selective gravity, Mr. Crow?
Joel: Mr. Crow, please pay attention. This is for your benefit.
Tom (interrupting): Or...or wire, sir?
Joel: ...or wire, can be attached to an object to make it float.
Crow: Oh! Like a biscuit.
Joel: Uh, we'll get to that. Anyway, the object you're going to be floating, has to have a high degree for humor, or "levity." Just a little joke for the TAs, there. Now I'm going to be floating some objects here.
Joel: ...with wire, and you're going to tell me if they're funny or not. Alright, first we start off with a coat. (A coat raises in the air, with obvious string attached) Funny or not funny?
Joel: Right. Funny. Next. Cambot, bring it over to the right here a little bit. A wrench: funny or not funny?
Tom: Uh, I'd say funny.
Joel: Right. Funny. Finally: a harmonica: (Joel plays some notes on it before it raises) funny or not funny?
Crow: Uhhh...um...I forgot the question.
Joel: Funny or not funny?
Joel: Right. Ok, orange juice: funny or not funny?
Joel: Right. Next: a baseball.
Joel: Wrong. Not funny. Alright, a woodchuck. Funny or not funny floating?
Joel: EXTREMELY funny. Next. Funny or not funny floating...Sally Field?
Joel: Right. Next. Funny or not funny floating...Sebastian Cabot?
Joel: Right, extremely funny, but impossible. Finally, the rules get a little blurry here guys. Christopher Reeve in "Superman": Funny or not funny floating?
Joel: Right. Christopher Reeve in "Monsignor."
Joel: Right. Now, Christopher Reeve kissing Michael Cane in "Deathtrap."
Joel: Right. Finally, Gallagher. Funny or not funny floating.
Magic Voice: The password is "Things which are funny floating."
Crow (to Tom): Uh, you take your shoe off with this.
Crow: Um, right. Uh, you keep meat in this.
Crow: Uh right. Uh, a juggler.

Cork City kept the pressure on Dundalk at the top of the table last night in the Premier Division of the SSE Airtricity League.
They beat Sligo Rovers 3-2 at Turners Cross.
While Bohs moved back into third place.
They needed a Jason Byrne winner to beat Limerick 2-1 at Dalymount Park.
The gypsies position in the table helped by the Dublin derby between St Pats and Shamrock Rovers being called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Richmond Park.
Elsewhere, Drogheda beat Bray 4-2.
While Galway beat Derry City 2-0 away from home.


Ian McEwan was born on 21 June in 1948 in Aldershot, Hampshire, England. He spent much of his childhood in the Far East, Germany and North Africa where his father, an officer in the army, was posted.
He returned to England and read English at Sussex University. After graduating, he became the first student on the MA Creative Writing course established at the University of East Anglia by Malcolm Bradbury and Angus Wilson. He is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Literature and the Royal Society of Arts, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and was awarded the Shakespeare Prize by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation, Hamburg, in 1999. He was awarded a CBE in 2000.
In 1976 his first collection of short stories, First Love, Last Rites (1975), won the Somerset Maugham Award. A second volume of stories, In Between the Sheets, appeared in 1978. These stories - claustrophobic tales of childhood, deviant sexuality and disjointed family life - were remarkable for their formal experimentation and controlled narrative voice.
His first novel, The Cement Garden (1978), is the story of four orphaned children living alone after the death of both parents. To avoid being taken into care, they bury their mother in cement in the basement and attempt to carry on as normal a life as possible, and an incestuous relationship develops between the two eldest children as they seek to emulate their parents roles. It was followed by The Comfort of Strangers (1981), set in Venice, a tale of fantasy, violence and obsession. The book was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction.
His next novel, The Child in Time (1987), won the Whitbread Novel Award, and marked a new confidence in McEwan's writing. The story is centred on the devastating effect of the loss of a child through abduction. The Innocent (1990) is a love story set in post-war Berlin. Black Dogs (1992) visits the most significant events of modern European history, ranging from Nazi death camps to post-war France and the collapse of the Berlin Wall.
Enduring Love (1997), begins with the death of a man in a ballooning accident, an event that triggers a tale of stalking, fixation and erotomania. Amsterdam (1998) is described by McEwan as a contemporary fable. Three men, a composer, a newspaper editor and a politician, meet at the funeral of their former lover, sparking off a bitter feud. It was awarded the Booker Prize for Fiction in 1998.
Atonement (2001), shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction and the Whitbread Novel Award and winner of the W. H. Smith Literary Award, begins in 1935 and tells the story of Briony, a young girl and aspiring writer, and the consequences of the discovery she makes about Robbie, a young man destined to play a part in the Dunkirk evacuations. This novel was adapted for the screen, and the film released in 2007. Saturday (2005), set on one day in February 2003, won the 2006 James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for fiction).
In addition to his prose fiction, Ian McEwan has written plays for television and film screenplays, including The Ploughman's Lunch (1985), an adaptation of Timothy Mo's novel Sour Sweet (1988) and an adaptation of his own novel, The Innocent (1993). He also wrote the libretto to Michael Berkeley's music for the oratorio Or Shall We Die? and is the author of a children's book, The Daydreamer (1994).
Film adaptations of his own novels include First Love, Last Rites (1997), The Cement Garden (1993) and The Comfort of Strangers (1991), for which Harold Pinter wrote the screenplay, and Atonement (2007).
His novel On Chesil Beach (2007), was shortlisted for the 2007 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, and winner of the British Book Awards Book of the Year and Author of the Year Awards. Recent books are For You (2008), the libretto to a new opera about an ageing conductor/composer, with music by Michael Berkeley; the novel Solar (2010), a satirical novel focusing on climate change, winner of the 2010 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize; Sweet Tooth (2012); and The Children Act (2014).
Ian McEwan lives in London.

The many ways we love trees
Posted on 27 Sep 2018 in Trees That Count news
A blog from our Chief Executive Adele Fitzpatrick which featured as an op-ed in The Dominion Post.
It won't come as a surprise for the chief executive of a programme called Trees That Count to say "I love trees". But I do. Our native trees are a special gift, and we all have a responsibility to restore and protect these gifts.
Trees That Count talks a great deal about the importance of planting native trees as part of the fight against climate change. That's why we have a live count of native trees planted - because each native tree, which is purposefully planted and supported to grow into canopies that last for generations, are a powerful part of tackling our oversized footprint as a country.
But carbon offsetting is just one of many reasons why our native trees are so important. It's something many people know, but struggle to articulate, when talking about the value of native conservation. We know we love trees, we know they're important in many ways, but how can we measure and explain that to people who might not?
Thanks to Tāne's Tree Trust and Dr Jacqui Aimers, PhD Forestry Science, we now have a wonderful piece of research which speaks to the ways in which our native trees are important - beyond things like carbon offsetting and providing timber.
The full report on non-timber values in native forests will soon be published by Tāne's Tree Trust and made available on their website http://www.tanestrees.org.nz/ but here's a preview of Dr Aimers' findings:
One of the top things our native trees do is enable honey production, which accounted for $316 million of our national exports in 2016. Mānuka honey is especially popular, and mānuka trees provide the added benefit of nurturing other native forest species as they grow, all whilst feeding bees and a valuable economic export.
Native trees like mānuka and kānuka are important in a growing skincare industry. Their oils have anti-microbial effects, and growers can obtain as much as $600 per tonne for raw foliage for mānuka oil extraction.
If you want whitebait sammies to continue into the future, then we need to look after and restore our native forests because they can continue to make whitebait fishing possible (or not). Native trees help provide suitable habitat conditions and clean the streams where whitebait breed, so the more stream-repairing native plantings that happen, the better.
Native forests play an important role in gathering other types of food too - like wild game, kōura (freshwater crayfish) and wild foods like pikopiko that are becoming more popular in contemporary Kiwi cuisine.
Native forests also generally provide better habitat for our native fauna and insects than exotic forests, particularly for berry and nectar feeders. It's great to hear that a survey of more than 1,500 New Zealand households showed the average household would willingly pay $264 per year for five years to conserve key native species in planted forests.
Compared with most other land uses native forest has very low nutrient leaching. In fact, trees can contribute to nutrient recycling, absorbing nutrients from intensive agriculture. They are also vital for stabilising soils, reducing sedimentation, moderating water flows, and protecting downstream ecosystems and infrastructures. Approximately one million hectares of land is at serious risk of erosion and this would be reduced by native tree planting.
Our native forests are also part of the New Zealand experience, highly valued by locals and tourists alike. Where would we be without our native silver fern? Forests play a vital role in the 'Clean, Green and 100% Pure NZ' branding - and tourism is one of our top economic drivers.
Native trees play a big part in the ambience and environments for recreation. In 2015, a nationwide survey showed spending time outdoors was important for 88% of New Zealanders. This positively affects our mental health, community building and innovation.
Native forests are culturally and spiritually very important for our tangata whenua, and the positive impact native forests have on water quality is vitally important to the mauri (life force) of freshwater ecosystems.
More and more, New Zealanders are seeing ourselves as stewards, or kaitiaki, of this land. We care about things like the protection of our native birds and the water quality of our streams, which is motivating us to put pressure on policy-makers.
But we also need to turn our minds, our pressure and our money to protecting and restoring our native forests. It's our forests that help keep our streams clean and allow native birds to thrive. Only native trees can contribute to the biodiversity of our land, speak to our cultural and spiritual values and create the iconic New Zealand nature scenes that draw locals and tourists to our scenic places.
So how can you help?
Consider planting more native trees or shrubs in your garden or on your land, and if you do, add them to our live tree count
Next time you or your loved ones celebrate a milestone (a new home, a graduation, marriage, anniversary or memorial), consider gifting a native tree to mark the occasion.

14u Girls dominated the landscape with 6 teams scheduled to play in Oshawa and Cornwall. The Outlaws and Raiders both made the journey down the 401 where the two teams did exceptionally well. The Outlaws placed first in their pool play. They won the quarter final game but loss in the semi-final game against the Durham Attack Black. In the bronze match, the girls gave up a their lead to lose the first set but were successful in winning the next two sets to capture the bronze medal. Meanwhile at the same event the 14u Raiders struggled against some top ranked teams but showed they are capable of competing at the Championship level. They were able to extend their day with a win over Etobicoke Titans, but fell to the Scarborough Titans after which they rallied back in a tense three-set rematch against Fusion for 5th.
The results for the Cornwall adventure are not up yet but stay tuned.
At the 17u age group the Goldrush braved the storm in travelling and also felt the wrath of the Premier division in Burlington. Advancing to the Premiere division is the goal of eveery top team in the province and attaining that early is something to be proud of. Maintaining it with a depleted roster is yet another. THe Girls took to the court and battled tooth and nail only to come out on the short end of the draw. Fingers are crossed for the next event with the New Ontario Quebec series.
Also at 17u the 16u Wildcards and Gamblers were competing up an age group and finishing in the middle of the pack at their respective events.
Also in Kingston this past weekend was the 18u Mustangs. Eager for their first event of the year the Mustangs came out from the tournament with a good feel for their game but again this group was hobbled by injury and bad circumstance with a surprise date with #1 Pakmen in the quarters. A fifth place standing will no doubtly leave a taste in the mouths of the athletes and coaches thirsty to rinse it clean in January.
Also on the boys side right here in Orleans were three Maverick squads making noise. Upon walking in to the gym I noticed the feel was similar to a girls tournament with three of the 9 teams sporting the red and black, The Longhorns 16u HP had dropped their pool to the 15u Chargers and the Bulls were about to take on the a Durham attack team that had already lost to two Maverick squads. In the end the Longhorns and Chargers would play for the title and the Longhorns would get their bragging rights back with a straight set victory.


WiFi password on a piece of paper under a keyboard? Or somewhere equally as insecure? Sloppy password practices are a nightmare for any admin; controlling access to the company network is impossible with a shared password, even if you have a manageable number of employees.
How do you implement security on a WiFi network without a shared password? One solution is IEEE 802.1X, a standard mechanism for network authentication. For enterprise WiFi hotspots, this login procedure usually goes by the name of WPA Enterprise (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Some hotspots support a user-specific configuration with WPA Enterprise.
In most cases, the user database is not managed by the hotspot itself. Instead, the hotspot queries a RADIUS server on the same network (Figure 2): The central user administration actually takes place on the RADIUS server. If you take on a new employee, you enter their account on the RADIUS server, WiFi access included.
Figure 2: A RADIUS server provides user data to the WiFi hotspot.
The resolution for the acronym RADIUS – Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service – shows that the system was designed for greater tasks than the management of wireless users. It is also used by Internet providers, who rely on RADIUS servers to manage their often very numerous users.
RADIUS implements the AAA concept: authentication, authorization, accounting. The first two components play the main role in defining access controls for a wireless network. During authentication, the RADIUS server checks the username and password; in the scope of authorization, it defines optional access parameters, such as the permitted use period or time. Accounting is primarily about the typical requirements of Internet providers, especially detailed logging of transferred data volumes for statistical analysis and billing.
FreeRADIUS is the most widely used RADIUS server. The free software offers tremendous flexibility thanks to a variety of modules and configuration options. Complete packages are available for Linux, Mac OS X, and BSD variants, as well as FreeRADIUS for Windows.
FreeRADIUS developers follow the strategy of delivering the program with a configuration that is generically useful. Adjustments to suit your own environment remain unavoidable, but defaults that are directly usable in many real-world scenarios help admins find their way around the wide range of settings.
RADIUS typically runs as a service on Linux (service freeradius start ), or you can use the radiusd or freeradius command, depending on your distribution. The FreeRADIUS server then listens for all requests in the default configuration, using the RADIUS default ports 1812 for authentication and 1813 for accounting, both of which are typically defined in /etc/services . For troubleshooting and testing, it's useful to launch FreeRADIUS with freeradius ‑X , which outputs all debugging messages.
Other network parameters, as well as local settings for logging, threading, security, and the modules used, are located in the radiusd.conf file below the FreeRADIUS configuration directory, usually /etc/freeradius/ on Linux.
The radiusd.conf file organizes most of the options in listen blocks. Each listen block represents a virtual server instance; the preset contains two of them – one for authentication and one for the accounting server. Use the previously mentioned standard ports and accept connections from all addresses (ipaddr=* ). Virtual servers in the FreeRADIUS concept are independent instances. They can be configured individually for each specific RADIUS client.
This entry assigns the property Cleartext-Password with a value of magazine to the ADMIN user. FreeRADIUS reads these entries at startup. Now, when a WiFi end user requests access permission from the hotspot, the RADIUS server compares the password sent by the client with this value and sends the appropriate response. Changes to the user database require a restart of the FreeRADIUS server.
FreeRADIUS parses the entries in users from the top down. When it finds a match, it stops processing unless the Fall-Through = Yes parameter is set. This, like other additional options, is located in the line below the user declaration and is indented with a Tab.
The users file has many additional user options, such as the time at which a user can authenticate (Login-Time ). The Reply-Message entry defines a custom response message, for example, explaining a rejection. In all, several hundred options are available that can do such things as propose user-specific network configurations at a hotspot. That said, the RADIUS server does not care whether the hotspot implements them; this is the task of the network access node. The complete list of supported FreeRADIUS attributes is available online.
The DEFAULT entry stands for all usernames and is used to specify general settings. This also means that FreeRADIUS stops processing the users file if it encounters a DEFAULT entry, unless it uses Fall-Through = Yes .
For FreeRADIUS to allow access, FreeRADIUS must first know the client that wants to authenticate a user. The client configuration is found in the clients.conf file. It contains the network parameters and security settings of the Network Access Server (NAS; for the WiFi hotspot in this example).
The client keyword, followed by a name, starts each client configuration; the configuration itself is enclosed in braces. By default, the only client is localhost. It rejects all connections that do not originate from the same computer. The name can also serve as a definition of allowed clients, such as localhost or 192.168.1.2/32 . Since FreeRADIUS Version 2, this setup is no longer required, but it still works. Otherwise, ipaddr and netmask define the permissible network parameters for this client.
The optional netmask entry defines the allowed subnet. If it is missing, it is set to 32 , which corresponds to exactly one computer. As an alternative to the IP address, the ipaddr entry can also use a hostname. However, this means that if there is a problem with the DNS server, the RADIUS server fails.
The radclient tool included in FreeRADIUS makes it possible to test access at the command line. In the default configuration, the RADIUS server initially only lets you do this locally; Figure 3 shows the output.
Figure 3: The radtest program helps you debug a RADIUS server.
This setting assigns all users authenticated by the RADIUS client (NAS) with the IP address 192.168.1.1 to the local huntgroup. This information can be used in the users file by synchronizing the huntgroup-name attribute with the user group membership. This setup offers the option of creating different entries for a user that are enabled depending on the NAS used, which make sense, in particular, in combination with the DEFAULT user.
Hints allow detailed configuration directly via the username, with the client appending scenario-dependent prefixes or suffixes. The supplied hints file contains settings typical for IPs, which assign the matching protocols to usernames ending in .ppp , .slip , and .cslip . Then, password-based authentication continues with the remainder of the username, as defined by the Strip-User-Name = Yes parameter.
The following entry thus leads to the authentication of a user who logs in as ADMIN.ppp . After the PPP protocol has been allocated, FreeRADIUS authorizes the user as ADMIN .
Again, a combination with DEFAULT is useful.
FreeRADIUS also lets you store the user data in sources other than the users file. In addition to modules for various SQL databases, Active Directory Service (ADS) and LDAP are potential candidates.
For MySQL, you can enter the user data in a database with the same attributes and values as described for the users file. The SQL scripts (admin.sql and schema.sql ) create users, databases, and schemas in the sql/mysql subdirectory. Matching counterparts are available for PostgreSQL.
You then need to enable the $INCLUDE sql.conf entry in radiusd.conf , which is commented out by default. In sql.conf , the database gives you a choice between mysql , mmsql , oracle , and postgresql . Next, define the server , login , and password for access to the database in the same file.
The MySQL database created here stores the individual user entries in the radcheck table. The fields username , attribute , value , and op can be set, for example, to ADMIN , Cleartext-Password , magazine , and := to create a user with the same properties as used in the users file earlier.
The radreply table defines user-specific response messages, as well as network settings, and usergroup assigns users to groups, and radgroupreply defines group-specific responses.
This command line exists in a similar form in the FreeRADIUS configuration file modules/ntlm_auth . You just need to modify the path for calling the program, for example, to /usr/bin/ntlm_auth and to match the domain (realm) of your ADS server. Usernames and passwords are provided directly by the requesting client. Finally, enable the module in the sites-enabled/default and sites-enabled/inner-tunnel files. The authenticate block lists the permissible authentication methods; you need to add an ntlm_auth line here. Details about configuring and troubleshooting FreeRADIUS and Active Directory Service are provided online.
The sites-enabled/inner-tunnel module configuration file is used, among other things, for authentication based on WPA Enterprise. The underlying 802.1X standard for WPA Enterprise defines an encrypted connection based on the EAP-over-LAN protocol (EAPOL), where EAP stands for Extensible Authentication Protocol .
With EAPOL, the user data is sent by the client through an encrypted tunnel to the access point, a WiFi hotspot in 802.1X. The access point forwards the request to the RADIUS server, which follows the usual principle to handle it. However, if the EAP protocol is used, FreeRADIUS reads the list of modules in sites-enabled/inner-tunnel instead of just sites-enabled/default .
The tunnel still needs an encryption certificate. In production, this certificate would be signed by a trusted authority. The FreeRADIUS source package provides a demo certificate for testing purposes, which is generated by running the make command in the certs subdirectory. However, the demo certificate is missing from the packages provided by most Linux distributions, because it is not signed and thus not a trusted certificate.
If you want to try EAPOL authentication, you will also find the eapol_test program in the WPA supplicant package for this; it implements various WPA encryption mechanisms for testing and analysis purposes. By default, eapol_test is not compiled but only activated if you enable the CONFIG_EAPOL_TEST = y configuration option in the sources. It is commented out in the defconfig file below the wpa_supplicant subdirectory of the WPA supplicant source package. Copy this file to wpa_supplicant/.config , remove the comments in the config file, and compile by typing make eapol_test .
The client password corresponds to the one specified in the clients.conf file. In the given sample configuration for localhost, it would be testing123 . After a successful test, you will want to disable the localhost client and all unused client entries or change the password.
FreeRADIUS was designed for user management on a scale typical of Internet providers, making the default configuration packaged with FreeRADIUS very valuable. Getting started is easy; for example, you can easily set up the local WiFi hotspot for user-specific authentication and configuration instead of using a shared password – given your hotspot has WPA Enterprise capability.
Tired of contending with shared passwords for wireless networks? Use WPA Enterprise and a FreeRADIUS server to set up a user password solution for wireless users.

Q: Code for Optimistic Concurrency I've a problem with a little program for my for my studies.
I need a basilar implementation for the optimistic concurrency.
I start from the example code in the Microsoft Documentation and I write a test case for check the Optimistic condition.
The code is this:
private void TestConcorrenza_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

   // Assumes connection is a valid SqlConnection.
    SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT Id,Nome FROM DAti ORDER BY Id",FirstConnection);
    // The Update command checks for optimistic concurrency violations in the WHERE clause.
    adapter.UpdateCommand = new SqlCommand("UPDATE Dati Set Id = @Id, Nome = @Nome WHERE Id = @oldId AND Nome= @oldNome", FirstConnection);
    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add( "@Id", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "Id");
    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@Nome", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 30, "Nome");
    // Pass the original values to the WHERE clause parameters.
    SqlParameter parameter = adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@oldId", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "Id");
    parameter.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;
    parameter = adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@oldNome", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 30, "Nome");
    parameter.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;
    // Add the RowUpdated event handler.
    adapter.RowUpdated += new SqlRowUpdatedEventHandler(OnRowUpdated);
    DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
    adapter.Fill(dataSet, "Dati");
    // Modify the DataSet contents.
    Update_for_Test();
    adapter.Update(dataSet, "Dati");
    foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataSet.Tables["Dati"].Rows)
    {
           if (dataRow.HasErrors)
           Console.WriteLine(dataRow [0] + "\n" + dataRow.RowError);
    }
    DataTable aTable = new DataTable();
    adapter.Fill(aTable);
    this.Test1.DataSource = aTable;
}

protected static void OnRowUpdated(object sender, SqlRowUpdatedEventArgs args)
{
    if (args.RecordsAffected == 0)
    {
        args.Row.RowError = "Optimistic Concurrency Violation Encountered";
        args.Status = UpdateStatus.SkipCurrentRow;
    }
}

This is the principal part and this is the test case:
public void Update_for_Test()
{
    SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT Id,Nome FROM
    Dati ORDER BY Id", SecondConnection);
    SqlDataAdapter ada= new SqlDataAdapter("UPDATE Dati SET  Nome 'Anna'                   WHERE Nome='Luca'", SecondConnection);
    DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
    ada.Fill(dataSet, "Dati");
    adapter.Fill(dataSet, "Dati");
    DataTable aTable = new DataTable();
   adapter.Fill(aTable);
   this.Test2.DataSource = aTable;
}

I don't understand why the condition in the foreach is false.
Someone have an idea?
Thks a lot, Good job.

Q: webdriver is giving timeout error after opening IE start page I am moving from selenium 3 to 4 and trying to run my tests in edge-IE mode. After starting the IEDriver with
var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);

the browser opens but then does not hand control back the the code for the next step, instead I get a time out error.
here is my code.
 var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
            options.AttachToEdgeChrome = true;
            options.EdgeExecutablePath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe";
            //options.BrowserCommandLineArguments = "-private";
            IWebDriver edgeIeMode = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);

here is the error
Unhandled Exception, See screenshotOpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException: The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://localhost:63459/session/197d3eaa-361d-433e-b8b5-0b5d6acb1e7b/url timed out after 60 seconds. ---> System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled.

A: Verify that your edge and webdriver versions are up to date. Typically this happens when a version mismatch can't connect to the browser. I'm not sure if edge uses an IEdriver.exe executable, but if it does, verify that version too.


The United States is blessed with miles and miles of seashore on the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexico. With all this shoreline comes many, many wonderful beaches. Some are great for surfing, some are rocky and rugged, and some are calm and peaceful. If you're going on a beach vacation with kids, you want a beach that's suitable for families and children.
Below are ten of the best beaches in the U.S. for families, in no particular order. If you find one that piques your interest, search online for package deals and discounts on lodging, along with all-inclusive packages. For several of these locales, you can also find discount coupons for dining and entertainment with a quick online search.
Lexi and Madison on a Florida gulf beach.
This is another one of those beautiful gulf beaches with white sand and blue-green water. In this typical beach town, families can enjoy fishing, shelling, snorkeling, riding go-carts, hot air ballooning, miniature golf, bumper boats, and riding the Sky Coaster. You can also visit a fort, ride horses, parasail, zip-line, or try out the world's largest water slide.
All the beaches here are great, but one of the best for families is Pavilion Beach at the state park. In addition to white sand, towering dunes, and clear water, you'll find showers, restrooms, a snack bar, and a shaded area that's perfect for picnics. For cool nights, there's a big fireplace on the beach.
Lodging choices include hotels, beachfront condos, bed and breakfasts, beach house rentals, and camping.
This is one of the "Golden Isles" located just off the coast of Georgia. The beaches here are sandy, and the surf is gentle. Kids will enjoy the water park, miniature golf, and searching for the numerous sand dollars that can easily be found on the beach. Biking is also popular on the island, and a bike path runs along the shore.
The small island has lot of wildlife, with a large population of whitetail deer. Drive around the island at night to see herds of them…but drive SLOWLY.
Jekyll was once the winter playground of the wealthiest families in America. Today, their opulent "cottages" can be toured by visitors.
At Clam Creek Park, there are picnic tables under live oak trees, right next to a tidal creek. There are grassy areas for play, and horses can be rented for a ride along the beach. For kids who enjoy fishing, there's a covered concrete pier.
Lodging choices include private vacation homes, resorts, and hotels.
St. Joe is a quiet town on Florida's Panhandle region. The sand here is dazzling white, and the water is warm and very clear. Because St. Joe Beach is protected by St. Joseph Peninsula across the bay, the surf is gentle, and there's no undertow. In fact, sometimes the water here looks more like a giant lake instead of like the Gulf of Mexico.
This is a great venue for spending quality time with the kids. They won't be distracted by theme parks, water parks, or even fast-food playgrounds. There are no high rises or traffic jams, either.
St. Joseph Bay is nearby and is a favorite spot for snorkeling because of its abundant marine life and its crystal water. Beginning in July, scallop season opens. For some great family fun, rent a pontoon or deck boat for the day and spend it on the water with the family. Fish, swim, relax, snorkel, or net some scallops for dinner.
Accommodations at St. Joe Beach and in adjacent Port St. Joe include hotels, motels, condos, and private beach house rentals.
I'm a true beach lover, and this is one of my all-time favorites! Anna Maria is a small island in the Gulf of Mexico, just across the bridges from Bradenton and Sarasota. The atmosphere is awesome, with beautiful surroundings and laid-back, friendly people. It has the feeling of a private island.
The water here is the focal point of almost all the activities. The beaches are glorious - white sand and clear turquoise water. The best beach for families with kids is located at the north end of the island, between the two fishing piers. The narrow strip of sand isn't very wide, but the water is wonderful. Picnic tables, grills, and a play area are adjacent to the beach, and the beach even has a couple of large shade trees. The snorkeling is great here, with fish, big starfish, and large sand dollars. The surf at this beach is usually totally calm, and the beach is seldom crowded.
Fishing is also popular on Anna Maria. There are the two fishing piers here, and farther south on Anna Maria is the Bradenton Beach Fishing Pier. It has a restaurant, a snack bar, a bait shop, restrooms, and covered sections.
If you need more action and activities, just cross the bridge into Bradenton or the one that goes to Sarasota. Day trips to Orlando and its attractions are also easy.
Accommodations on Anna Maria include oceanfront villas, condos, hotels, duplexes, and private vacation home rentals. Prices range from very inexpensive to OUCH!
San Diego has several beaches and is loaded with great activities and points of interest for all ages. Some of these are Sea World, historic sites, museums, water parks, amusement parks, LegoLand, nature centers, and the famous San Diego Zoo.
Of all the San Diego beaches, the most kid-friendly is La Jolla Shores. While many of California's beaches have rough surf that's great for surfing, La Jolla Shores has the calmest surf of any on the area's coastline. The beach is wide and sandy and has a grassy park with play structures that's perfect for playing and picnicking. Lifeguards watch over the area every day, which should give parents some peace of mind. There's also a designated area just for swimmers, and the Steven Birch Aquarium is only half a mile away.
The water here is usually clear and relatively calm. The beach area has a large parking lot, showers, restrooms, and a wide boardwalk. Everything you might need is within walking distance, including snacks, gas, restaurants and rentals for kayaks, scuba equipment, and surf boards. On the beach, fire rings are provided, perfect for roasting hot dogs or making s'mores after a day of swimming.
The area enjoys great weather all year, but if you're here in the winter, you'll have a chance to see Gray whales that come near shore.
As for lodging in the area, you'll find just about every kind of accommodations imaginable.
Galveston is only about an hour from Dallas by air or four hours driving, but it's like a whole different world. It's a wonderful vacation spot for families. Kids of all ages will love all the attractions, including a sprawling water park, arcades, miniature golf, museums, horseback riding on the beach, and bungee jumping. One of the most amazing is the ten-story zoo. Of course, you might never get around to any of these because tearing yourself away from the 32 miles of beaches won't be easy.
One of the best beaches in Galveston for kids and families is Seashell Beach, located on San Luis Pass Road. This beach features a snack bar, showers, picnic tables, lifeguards, and beach chair and umbrella rentals. The beach is open on the weekends from March-October. From June-Labor Day, the beach is open every day of the week.
The Outer Banks is a series of long, narrow islands that stretch 130 miles along the coast of North Carolina. You and the kids can visit museums, view the wild horses, enjoy amusement parks, be amazed at the North Carolina Aquarium, or explore a national wildlife refuge. The whole family can windsurf, fish, play miniature golf, swim, surf, or learn to hang-glide.
Most of the beaches on the Atlantic side have rough surf and powerful currents, but the beaches on the Sound side are safer for kids.
One of the best kid-friendly beaches is Ocracoke Lifeguarded Beach, named the best beach in the US in 2007. The free ferry will take you to Ocracoke, where you'll find tall dunes, paved parking, changing rooms, outdoor showers, restrooms, wild ponies, sixteen miles of undeveloped beach, and the second-oldest operating lighthouse in the US. Maybe you'll even catch a glimpse of Blackbeard's ghost! Make a special memory by riding horses on the beach.
Accommodations in the small town include bed and breakfasts, hotels, inns, motels, cottages, suites, lodges, and vacation homes.
Cape Cod is a beautiful New England seaside town and offers all kinds of fun for families, including water trampolines, museums, sight-seeing cruises, jet skiing, amusement parks, water parks, fishing, banana boat rides, helicopter rides, bumper boats, batting cages, miniature golf, whale watching, a children's railroad, nature walks, horseback riding, sailing, and beautiful beaches.
One of the best family beaches on Cape Cod is located on Nantucket Sound - Craigville Beach. This wide beach is one of the largest on the cape, and it features soft sand and clean water, usually free of seaweed. Also, there are few rocks here. The water at Craigville is warm and calm from the middle of July until the first part of September. This beach has showers, restrooms, and lots of great shells. Across the street are snack bars. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer.
Virginia Beach is a popular resort town that is especially family and kid-friendly. Public drunkenness, profanity, scanty swimsuits, and loud music are not allowed on the beaches.VaBeach, as the locals call it, also provides plenty of entertainment, including lots of museums, hiking, biking, restaurants, boating, historic sites, horseback riding, playgrounds, skate ramps, a huge aquarium, nature trails, miniature golf, and an amusement park.
Of all the beaches in the area, the best beach for families is probably Sandbridge Beach. It's located fifteen miles south of the crowded tourist area, so it's much quieter and more laid back than the main resort spots. At the south end of five-mile-long Sandbridge is Little Island Park, a large public beach area. It provides lifeguards, bath houses, showers, rest rooms, a playground, covered picnic tables, grills, a basketball court, and lighted tennis courts. There's also a fishing pier that opens at 5:30 in the morning and stays open until 11 at night.
Lodgings at VaBeach include hotels, motels, condos, cabins, cottages, bed and breakfasts, vacation homes, inns, campgrounds, and resorts.
Kauai has to be one of the most beautiful places on the globe, with rugged cliffs, rushing waterfalls, green valleys, and pristine beaches. It offers an unforgettable vacation experience for families. Kauai attractions and activities include museums, horseback riding, sugar plantations, aerial tours, historic sites, gardens, hiking, rock climbing, sailing, and nature preserves. The beaches of Kauai are undeveloped and in their natural state.
The best family beach on Kauai is Poipu Beach Park. This wide crescent-shaped beach is great for families with kids. There's a calm, shallow pool in the rocks with lots of brightly colored fish, perfect for very small children. Nearby is a favorite haunt of seals, so you might get to see the marine mammals up close. Sea turtles also frequent the surf here. On the beach, you'll find a lifeguard, restrooms, showers, a playground, and picnic tables. Adults and teens can swim out to the offshore reefs to surf, and everyone can snorkel in the clear water. You can rent boogie boards and snorkel equipment across the street, as well as grab a bite to eat.
Accommodations include villas, rental homes, condos, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and five-star resorts.
I'd love to go to Bali!
Wow... I love your article.
Beach is always make people happy.
Great list - glad to see a NC beach make it! With so much to do and so many NC beach rentals to choose from, a great family beach vacation isn't hard to find. Horseback riding on the beach is nearly always a family favorite.
OMG! -10???? Girlfriend, you need some warm, sunny beach!
It's going to be -10 with the wind chill in KC today, Kauai is sounding really good right now!
I love the beach, too! And the marshes, the estuaries, the bays, the tidal creeks - you get the picture. Thanks for reading, Tony.
habee thx for the shoutout for San Diego ! And I used to live in Virginia Beach many many moons ago. I would really like to visit some of these other ones too . I love the beach , I do not live in San Diego for nothing !
Hi, Russ! You have a lot to catch up on, huh?
Hi, Elayne. I'm glad you enjoyed, and thanks for reading!
Great hub - glad you included one from Hawaii too. Kauai is very beautiful for sure.
Hi, Carol. I meant flight time. Guess I should have been more specific. I'll add drive time. I was referring to the 10-story Rainforest Pyramid at Moody Gardens. It has animals in it. I didn't want to go into the long explanation about describing Moody. Did you know they're adding more animals for 2010? Thanks for reading!
There are wonderful pictures and thank you for your wonderful hub.
Great list of beaches... a coupla my faves!!


On Sunday [23 May] I ran the Pilgrim's Hospices Canterbury Half Marathon. The course organized by 2:09 Events is a very scenic and very hilly one, passing through the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was a hot day, the hottest day of the year ,but bottled water was provided regularly throughout the race. I accepted the offer to have a jug of cold water poured over my head at a drinks station, most refreshing! It is a tough course, with much climbing, and a particularly severe hill coming in at 10 miles, when you least want it . Even the last 1/4 mile to the finish was on an upward incline .I've been doing this one since 1990 and I am always glad that I have .I was hoping to come in sub 2, but came in 2:05:50 my slowest half ever .482nd out of 805 finishers.

Corning Inc. looks at financial reporting in a new way
Corning Inc. is looking at financial reporting in a new way, calling "core" earnings more accurate.
"Core" earnings leaves out things like currency fluctuations, acquisition costs and legal expenses.
CORNING – If you have reason to be confused by Corning Inc.'s second-quarter financial report, you are not alone.
Corporate financial reporting is as much art as science. Numbers are not hard and fast things. Viewed through different lenses, they can give different impressions.
The region's largest employer now views its results through a self-created lens called "core" earnings.
It's one of several ways the Fortune 500 company has recreated its earnings reports over the years.
All have been attempts to wiggle out of the GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) in order to present what Corning Inc. calls a more accurate look at its operations.
For example, "core" earnings leaves out such things as the impact of currency fluctuations, acquisition costs, legal expenses and a variety of other items not related to operations.
Corning contends framing its results that way gives shareholders a clearer picture of the company's actual performance.
Alongside its "core" earnings reports each quarter, Corning Inc. presents the traditional report using GAAP standards.
In the second quarter of this year, for example, the core earnings report showed net sales of $2.5 billion. The GAAP sales figure was $2.3 billion.
Core earnings were $522 million, while GAAP earnings were $496 million. Core earnings per share were 38 cents, compared with GAAP earnings per share of 36 cents.
Using the core performance standards, sales in the second quarter were basically flat. Under the GAAP rules, sales were down 6 percent.
The company's leaders professed themselves happy with the second-quarter results, even though core sales were down from a year ago in four of the company's five segments.
Only in Optical Communications did core sales increase from the second quarter of 2014.
In the third quarter, which ends Sept. 30, Corning expects sales to be down from last year in three of five segments. Display Technologies and Optical Communications are the exceptions.
Reporting "core" earnings is not exactly like putting lipstick on a pig. It's more like putting on a new suit and a shiny pair of shoes and getting a fresh haircut.
It makes everything look better, but there's some question whether it gives you a better understanding of the person inside the suit.

I want to extract Station identifier, Station number, Station latitude & Station longitude only once from that file.
I tried with python script but didn't get desired output.
Even I tried with grep as well:
grep -E "Station number|Station latitude|Station longitude|Station identifier" wrkk_2017.out

for line in open('vaau_2017.out'):
    rec = line.strip()
    words = ["Station identifier:", "Station number:", "Station latitude:", "Station longitude"]
    for rec in words:
        if rec in line:
            print (line)
            break

I am expecting only Station identifier:..., Station number:...., Station latitude:......, Station longitude:.... Only once but I'm getting it number of times as it is there in that file.

A: You could add a boolean array in which you save if a word was already found:
still_left = [True] * len(words)

for line in open('vaau_2017.out'):
    for i, w in enumerate(words):
        if w in line and still_left[i]:
            print(line)
            still_left[i] = False
    if sum(still_left)==0:
        break

Example:
s = '''id: 1
num: 2
lat: 3
lon: 4
id: 1
num: 2
lat: 3
lon: 4'''

words = ['id', 'num', 'lat', 'lon']
still_left = [True] * len(words)

for line in s.splitlines():              # for line in open('vaau_2017.out'):
    for i, w in enumerate(words):
        if w in line and still_left[i]:
            print(line)
            still_left[i] = False
# id: 1
# num: 2
# lat: 3
# lon: 4

and if you want to break reading the file as soon as all words are found, you can add
    if sum(still_left)==0:
        break

at the for line... level behind the inner for i, w... loop.

A: You can do with regex -
a = 'Station information and sounding indices Station identifier: VAAU Station number: 43014 Observation time: 170801/0000 Station latitude: 19.85 Station longitude: 75.40 Station elevation: 579.0 Showalter index: 0.92 Lifted index: 0.99 LIFT computed using virtual temperature: 0.46 SWEAT index: 255.81 K index: 34.70 Cross totals index: 19.70 Vertical totals index: 20.10'

station_identifier = re.search('Station identifier: ([A-Z]+)',a).group(1)
print station_identifier #VAAU

station_number = re.search('Station number: ([+-]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][+-]?\d+)?)',a).group(1)
print station_number #43014

station_latitude = re.search('Station latitude: ([+-]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][+-]?\d+)?)',a).group(1)
print station_latitude #19.85

station_longitude = re.search('Station longitude: ([+-]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][+-]?\d+)?)',a).group(1)
print station_longitude #75.40

Learning Path:
https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/regex
EDIT:
Solution to your question -
filename = "vaau_2017.out"
with open(filename) as f:
    for line in f.readlines():

        if 'Station identifier' in line:
            station_identifier = re.search('Station identifier: ([\sA-Z]+)',line).group(1)
            print station_identifier #VAAU

        if 'Station number' in line:
            station_number = re.search('Station number: ([+-]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][+-]?\d+)?)',line).group(1)
            print station_number #43014

        if 'Station latitude' in line:
            station_latitude = re.search('Station latitude: ([+-]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][+-]?\d+)?)',line).group(1)
            print station_latitude #19.85

        if 'Station longitude' in line:
            station_longitude = re.search('Station longitude: ([+-]?(\d+(\.\d*)?|\.\d+)([eE][+-]?\d+)?)',line).group(1)
            print station_longitude #75.40

Lovisa, Julie, Read, Wayne, and Sivakugan, Nagaratnam (2013) Time factor in consolidation: critical review. International Journal of Geomechanics, 13 (1). pp. 83-86.
The magnitude of consolidation settlement is often calculated using Terzaghi's expression for average degree of consolidation (U) with respect to time. Developed during a time of limited computing capabilities, Terzaghi's series solution to the one-dimensional consolidation equation was generalized using dimensionless time factor (T), where a single U-T curve is used to describe the consolidation behaviour of both singly and doubly drained strata. As a result, any comparisons between one- and two-way drainage are indirect and confined to discrete values of time. By introducing a modified time factor T* in terms of layer thickness (D) instead of the maximum drainage pat length (Hdr), it is now possible to observe the effect of drainage conditions over a continuous range of time for a variety of asymmetric initial excess pore pressure distributions. although two separate U-T plots are required (for singly and doubly drained cases), the time factor at specific times remains the same for both cases, enabling a direct visual comparison. The importance of a revised time factor is evident when observing the endpoint of consolidation, which occurs as U approaches 100%. This occurs at T*≅0.5 for two-way drainage and at T*≅2 for one-way drainage, an observation not possible using the traditional expression for time factor.

Will US Grant Visa to Sudan's Indicted Leader to Attend UN Meeting?
Posted byBy ABS Contributor	| September 23, 2013 CommentsComments (0)
Sudan President Omar al-Bashir
As host of the United Nations, the U.S. is supposed to let everyone come to the annual U.N. General Assembly, not just the people it likes. But this year, the proposition is being put to the test.
Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, was indicted three years ago by the International Criminal Court on genocide charges stemming from the mass killings in Sudan's western Darfur region.
Bashir has also applied for a visa to the U.N. meetings next week, according to NPR.
"Such a trip would be deplorable, cynical and hugely inappropriate," says Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
The State Department hasn't yet made a decision on the visa, and officials say they are considering many factors, including the outstanding warrant against him.
"These are new legal waters," says Northwestern University's David Scheffer, a former U.S. ambassador at large for war crimes issues, who helped negotiate the treaty that set up the ICC.
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL REACTS
Amnesty International, in a statement issued Friday, said member states of UNGA must demand that Bashir surrender to ICC where he faces charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, the Sundan Tribune reports.
"Despite the ICC arrest warrants against the president, two other government officials and an alleged Janjaweed militia leader, they are all being protected by the Sudanese government which is refusing to cooperate with the Court," said Tawanda Hondora, deputy director of law and policy at Amnesty International.
Sudan's decision to send a person accused of orchestrating these most serious crimes to attend the U.N. General Assembly, he added, is a grave insult to the thousands of people unlawfully killed, millions displaced and countless women and children raped in Darfur over the last decade.

The stablecoin Tether (USDT) is the eighth largest cryptocurrency in terms of market cap and is the second most-traded coin behind Bitcoin, but it is finding it difficult to stay away from controversy. Quick reminder – a stablecoin, sometimes called stable token, is a digital asset that maintains price stability by being pegged to the value of a stable asset, like a fiat currency. In the case of Tether, tokens are allegedly backed by physical US dollars at a 1:1 ratio. Many people in the industry recognise the need for stablecoins if cryptocurrency markets are to mature. But, in light of the issues surrounding Tether, many also think competition is due and necessary.
Two main issues have emerged over the cryptocurrency. A running concern has been the lack of transparency displayed by Tether and its inability to be properly audited. A preliminary report was conducted by audit firm Friedman LLP in September 2017, saying that Tether had $442.9m in cash reserves, matching the outstanding issuance of USDT. However, Tether Limited, the company that issues Tether tokens, announced in January that its relationship with the audit firm had dissolved and that a comprehensive audit would not eventuate. This caused concerns in the crypto community, particularly due to the printing shortly after of an additional 300 million USDT. Subsequently, Tether engaged Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan LLP (FSS), a law firm co-founded by former FBI director Louis Freeh, to look into its financial situation. In June, a report by FFS known as the Tether Transparency Update was published. Again, critics were swift to point out that the report, three pages long, was not an audit, since all it showed was that at a single point in time, the 1st of June 2018, Tether held enough US dollars to back each USDT. What it did not show was that Tether has consistently backed its coins in the past, nor whether it is doing so now.
Although the Tether Transparency Update does constitute some evidence, we are talking about $3 billion of unaudited liability. Stuart Hoegner, Tether's general counsel, admitted that Tether cannot be audited by the major auditing firms (EY, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC) since they "are anathema to that level of risk." Under US law, auditors can be held liable for negligence to the extent of fraud. Given past occurrences in the crypto industry and the lack of regulatory oversight, the position of these auditing firms is understandable.
The legitimacy of Tether is also in question due to reports it has been 'printing' (i.e. issuing) USDT coins to prop-up the price of Bitcoin. According to researchers at the University of Texas: "Tether seems to be used both to stabilise and manipulate Bitcoin prices." A research paper by Chainanalysis, a firm that analyses blockchain data, linked Tether printing to several altcoins, such as Litecoin and Ether, showing an eighty-five percent correlation which, subsequent to the general bear market affecting cryptocurrencies, fell to an average of seven percent. Back in December 2017, it was widely reported that the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) sent subpoenas to both Tether and Bitfinex – one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, and which is closely linked to Tether – citing an anonymous source that claimed the company was issuing USDT to raise the price of Bitcoin.
Since then fears have somewhat subsided, with certain sources refuting the theory that Tether is propping-up prices, or at least that it is not doing so any longer. According to Bloomberg, huge influxes of Tether over the course of August failed to increase or stabilise the prices of Bitcoin, or other Tether-linked cryptocurrencies, like EOS and NEO. In total, Tether printed over $500m, which went straight to Bifinex, with the majority of those then being sent to a further six exchanges, namely Binance, Bittrex, Huobi, Kraken, OKEx, and Poloniex.
In spite of all the uncertainty around it, Tether has experienced huge growth, which to many highlights further the need for stablecoins in the crypto marketplace. According to Philip Gradwell, the chief economist at Chainanalysis, this need stems from the fact that crypto-to-crypto exchanges do no offer fiat "as most fiat banks would not want to work with exchanges that offer trading in large numbers of altcoins." In his eyes, "the future depends a lot on whether crypto-to-crypto exchanges start accepting fiat as they get their compliance in order, and whether altcoin trading continues, given the declines in that." Additionally, due to the bear market, Tether has been like a bank in the crypto space in that it provides a place for investors to store funds whilst remaining on crypto exchanges, thereby allowing them to withstand the price volatility of the market.
In consideration of this apparent need for stablecoins, it is not surprising that competitors of Tether seem to be stepping up their game. Gradwell has predicted that "if Tether cannot be audited, then it will face competition from stablecoins that are more transparently backed or are algorithmic." Only recently, Digifinex, a top-20 crypto exchange based in Singapore, announced it was replacing its platform's stablecoin, Tether's USDT, with TrustToken's TrueUSD (TUSD). Digifinex co-founder, Kiana Shek, spoke to CoinDesk, a news site specialising in Bitcoin and digital currencies, and said "I simply don't believe in Tether" and explained she had been trying to get rid of USDT for months. Another blow for Tether will have been the news in early September that New York State had approved both the stablecoins of Gemini Trust Company and of Paxos Trust Company, meaning these will offer a degree of protection and assurance for investors which is not guaranteed by Tether.
Consistently, Tether has maintained that it holds enough US dollars in reserve to match its issuance of USD, and that it has not manipulated the price of Bitcoin, but, if it keeps displaying the same lack of transparency, it seems difficult to see how it will retain the trust of investors in the long-run. At the moment, other tokens are still behind – the market cap of TrueUSD stands at just over $100m, while that of Tether is just under $2.8bn, but in the near-future we may see more instances like what happened with Digifinex.

Feds to Pay Tribes $492 Million for Mismanaged Trust Funds; New Book of Ojibwe Stories; Tribes OK'ed to Collect Plants in National Parks
October 3, 2016 healingmn News	Anne Dunn, Fire in the Village, mismanagment, National Parks, Native American Rights Fund, Ojibwe stories, plant collection, settlement, tribal sovereignty, tribal trust funds
The mistreatment and exploitation of Native American communities is not a thing of ancient history, but has continued to the modern era. The latest example is how the federal government failed it is duty to be a good steward of the lands it was supposed to hold in trust for Native nations.
The Native American Rights Fund announced that the U.S. government has agreed to pay 17 tribes $492 million "to compensate for decades of lost income due to government mismanagement of tribal trusts." According to its statement:
Starting with treaties signed in the 19th Century, the United States was named as trustee for large areas of tribal land. Under the treaties, the United States was to hold the Indian lands and money for the benefit of the Native American people. As trustee, they handled leasing the land for uses such as grazing, oil, and farming. However, the government did not prove to be a good trustee.
A story from National Public Radio said:
The settlements mark the end of a push by the Obama administration to resolve what the U.S. says is more than 100 lawsuits totaling more than $3.3 billion brought by American Indian individuals and tribal governments against the federal government. The policy of reaching settlements on the disputes, some of which date back more than a century, is part of a campaign promise the president made to American Indians before he took office.
This is the second round of such settlements, and the total number of cases settled now is 95.

Q: Rails ancestry with nil parent I'm building a hierarchical category in Rails using Ancestry, and I allow the user to choose the parent of the object they're creating.  I display the existing categories using a dropdown:
<%= f.input :ancestry, collection: Category.sorted_list %>

As long as the user chooses an existing node, all is well.  If the user chooses the blank in the dropdown, I would expect Ancestry to create a root node, but instead the form throws an "is invalid" error.
My controller isn't doing anything mindblowing:
def update
  @category = Category.find(params[:id])

  respond_to do |format|
    if @category.update_attributes(params[:category])
      format.html { redirect_to @category, notice: 'Category was successfully updated.' }
      format.json { head :no_content }
    else
      format.html { render action: "edit" }
      format.json { render json: @category.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
    end
  end
end

I'm newer to Rails, so I'm not sure how to attack this problem.  Is there a configuration for Ancestry that I missed, or is this a form validator being over-protective perhaps?

A: That happens because ancestry can't be nil and it's a bad idea to change it manually because all the gem's behavior is based on this attribute. For such cases gem has another parent_id attribute which you should use in your form.
There is a good explanation in gem's wiki how to build form using ancestry
Hope it helps

A: Ancestry validates his field with this:
# Validate format of ancestry column value
validates_format_of ancestry_column, :with => Ancestry::ANCESTRY_PATTERN, :allow_nil => true

But you can't pass nil value in forms. So I did this:
before_validation do
  self.ancestry = nil if self.ancestry.blank?
end

There are essentially four atmospheric seasons in many parts of the world particularly winter, summer, fall and spring and out of these four seasons summer is the most hot one.

The new Kings Bluff Brewery has opened up shop in downtown Clarksville. Here's the buzz on the newest addition to the downtown drinking scene.
Last weekend's grand opening of Clarksville's newest downtown brewery was a long time coming for Dustyn and Kristen Brewer.
"I've brewed for about 8 years," said Dustyn, who calls himself the head brewer and "Beer Lord" of Kings Bluff Brewery. "It's a hobby that got out of hand."
That part-time hobby has now turned into a full-fledged business for the two young entrepreneurs, with Dustyn in charge of the beer and marketing and Kristen in charge of the business. They've spent the last two years working toward this last weekend's grand opening.
"He makes really good beer," says Kristen. "It's important to find what you love in life, and this is his love. We really do try to be partners in everything."
So now the two partners in life have become partners in business. It's an arrangement they're juggling with his marketing job with Midsouth Shooters Supply, and her doctoral studies in public health at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
"We don't have off buttons," said Dustyn with a laugh.
The operation now has five house-brewed beers, including Dustyn's signature Kings Bluff Blonde, the Liberty Park IPA, the Uneeda Biscuit Stout, the Brewdozer Smash IPA and the popular Thunder Red. Soon to come are two award-winning brews, Bun N' Creme Stout and Sango Honey Saison.
So far, he says the feedback has been overwhelmingly good.
"It's all been very positive. Really the Red's been the star of the show. It's really rich and deep in color," said Dustyn.
Dustyn said with their brewing system — the second-largest in all of Clarksville — he'll eventually boast 10 house brews, some guest taps and his Puppy Pilsner, a concoction of diluted chicken broth brewed up just for the pups in this dog-friendly establishment.
What's not on the menu? Food.
"We are purely about the beer," said Dustyn.
"We're not restaurant people," explained Kristen. "Dustyn knows how to make beer, and I know how to organize things."
But if enjoying a cold brew makes you long for munchies, they say they've got you covered. The Brewers have worked out deals with nearby restaurants to deliver take-out directly to Kings Bluff, including JibBop Korean BBQ, Mediterranean Grill, Wicked Good Sandwiches and Johnny's Burgers. They'll also bring in food trucks to add to the menu options.
Friends and supporters, many who chipped in to their Kickstarter campaign to help fund Kings Bluff, were out enjoying a preview of the brewery Friday. They say they're impressed with what the Brewers have brought to Clarksville, commenting on both the great beer and the great atmosphere.
"Downtown is expanding," said Clarksville attorney Adrienne Fry. "I think this is a great addition."
Kings Bluff already offers a Mug Club annual membership option that gets people $2 off any pint served in an oversized mug. Next they'll add trivia nights, theme nights, comedy nights, live music — even beer yoga. When it warms up, they'll open up outdoor spaces out back and perhaps even a rooftop bar.
The Brewers say they couldn't have opened up shop without all the help they've received, from people chipping in money, to donating their time to help paint and clean, to helping with their business plan, and even doing the woodwork for the bar.
"We've got a great support system," said Kristen. "We would not be here without them."
They say they plan to pay it forward, with plans to donate to local charities like animal shelters and hold instructional courses like self-defense classes.
"We really want to give back to the community," said Kristen.
Indeed, the Brewer's love for this community is readily apparent at Kings Bluff.
"Everything's named for places in Clarksville," said Dustyn, noting that inspiration for the brewery came from all over their adopted home. The brewery even features a mural of downtown Clarksville's spires, done by local artist Michael Mason.
Now the couple hopes their love for the community and beer will add up to a winning recipe for their business.
"We're hoping we can be one more aspect of Clarksville that makes people want to stay here and spend their time and money here," said Dustyn.

Despina Stratigakos, "Hitler's Northern Utopia: Building the New Order in Occupied Norway" (Princeton UP, 2020)
Princeton UP Ideas Podcast
In her new book Hitler's Northern Utopia: Building the New Order in Occupied Norway (Princeton University Press, 2020), Despina Stratigakos investigates the Nazi occupation of Norway. Between 1940 and 1945, German occupiers transformed Norway into a vast construction zone. This remarkable building campaign, largely unknown today, was designed to extend the Greater German Reich beyond the Arctic Circle and turn the Scandinavian country into a racial utopia. From ideal new cities to a scenic superhighway stretching from Berlin to northern Norway, plans to remake the country into a model "Aryan" society fired the imaginations of Hitler, his architect Albert Speer, and other Nazi leaders. In Hitler's Northern Utopia, Despina Stratigakos provides the first major history of Nazi efforts to build a Nordic empire—one that they believed would improve their genetic stock and confirm their destiny as a new order of Vikings.
Drawing on extraordinary unpublished diaries, photographs, and maps, as well as newspapers from the period, Hitler's Northern Utopia tells the story of a broad range of completed and unrealized architectural and infrastructure projects far beyond the well-known German military defenses built on Norway's Atlantic coast. These ventures included maternity centers, cultural and recreational facilities for German soldiers, and a plan to create quintessential National Socialist communities out of twenty-three towns damaged in the German invasion, an overhaul Norwegian architects were expected to lead. The most ambitious scheme—a German cultural capital and naval base—remained a closely guarded secret for fear of provoking Norwegian resistance.
A gripping account of the rise of a Nazi landscape in occupied Norway, Hitler's Northern Utopia reveals a haunting vision of what might have been—a world colonized under the swastika.
Despina Stratigakos is vice provost and professor of architecture at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York.
Craig Sorvillo is a PhD candidate in modern European history at the University of Florida. He specializes in Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust. He can be reached at [email protected] or on twitter @craig_sorvillo.

NuvaRing is an O-shaped contraceptive device that prevents pregnancy with a combination of hormones, including etonogestrel (progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (estrogen). It is manufactured by Merck & Co. and it was approved by the FDA in October 2001.
What is Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)?
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) is a disease that occurs when there is too much cerebrospinal fluid inside the skull. Normally, this fluid protects the brain and acts as a shock-absorber. IIH puts pressure on the brain and optic nerve, which can lead to blindness.
Experts do not know if NuvaRing causes IIH. The term "idiopathic" means that researchers are still trying to discover what causes the disease. Obese women of childbearing age are most likely to develop IIH. Another risk-factor is the use of birth control.
In 1995, a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine linked 56 cases of IIH with Norplant, a subcutaneous birth control implant that contains levonorgestrel. Other types of birth control have also been associated with IIH, including exogenous estrogen and birth control shots containing progestin.
In clinical trials, headaches (including migraines) were reported in 11.2% of women on NuvaRing. Headaches are also the most common symptom of IIH, but it is not clear that the conditions are related. Headaches from IIH tend to be dull, located at the back of the head, and worst in the morning. Without treatment, they can become extremely painful and frequent.
About 5% of people with IIH develop blindness. The complication occurs when the optic nerve is permanently damaged. Some people also develop papilledema, a complication that involves swelling of the optic disc (blind spot) at the back of the eye. Other complications include double-vision (diplopia), blurry vision, and light-sensitivity.
In 2012, the British Medical Journal published a study linking the use of NuvaRing with a 6.5-fold increased risk of blood clots compared to non-users of hormonal contraceptives. Compared to women who used hormonal birth control pills containing levonorgestrel, women on NuvaRing were almost twice as likely to have a blood clot.
Unfortunately, blood clots that form in arteries can potentially travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Blood clots in the brain can also cause secondary intracranial hypertension a serious disease that occurs when blood clots physically obstruct the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Like IIH, secondary intracranial hypertension causes high pressure inside the skull.


I do believe in friendship between man and woman, and I do believe that husband and wife can be not only lover but also the best friends! That's what I am looking for; I need man who will become my friend, my stone wall and greatest support in life!
For me relation is not only the feeling of fire but first of all it is mutuality, reciprocity and mutual dependence. I am not about one gate play, but I am about total understanding and possibility to find compromises.

It has been a huge learning curve for all of us as we adjusted to the new norm of staying home; trying to make the best choices for our families and businesses with little information to guide us. Given the latest data, it seems like we are flattening the curve here in California, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. But we are also learning that it will be a slow return to a new version of normal, at least for the time being. Meanwhile, the team of essential staff at Rancho Silverado Stables has done an exceptional job caring for the horses during this situation. We are beyond grateful for the efforts they put forth each and every day. Our primary focus remains on their health and safety, so that they may continue the great care of our horses. While it doesn't take away the pains of not playing polo, we are also grateful to mother nature for picking this occasion for the unseasonably excessive rains this spring. The creek is flowing and the ponies have done their fair share of hand-walking. And while there may still be a few spring showers ahead of us, summer is on its way and the ponies will be ready to go when we are able to return to the ranch again. We are hopeful that next time you hear from us we will be sharing good news about polo lessons and practices.
Until then please stay home, stay healthy and think POLO!
See you at the ranch (soon!),
HP & SG
