Database security assures the security of databases against threats. It is concerned within information security control that involves the data protection, the database applications or stored functions protection, the database systems protection, the database servers and the associated network links protection. Recently, the security threats in mobile database became popular and need to develop a solution to avoid those threats. Mobile database is a specialized class of distributed systems. Due to hardware constraints and its distributed nature security challenges in mobile development raised. Security should be assured in its operating system, its database and on network. The traditional database security cannot deal malicious attacks by persons with legal entity and is not cost effective to users having different security requirements. The multilayer security model with user, OS, DBMS and transaction level intrusion tolerance integrates redundancy and various technology by adopting integral security strategy and service oriented intrusion tolerance technology. A number of techniques such as encryption and electronic signatures are available to protect data transmission across websites. For data protection enforcement of access control policies based on data contents, subject qualifications and characteristics, and other relevant contextual information, such as time mechanisms are used. Semantics of data considered to specify active access control policies. The network database system provide an open environment for information storage and management with massive data. Great loss will occur once the data loss, illegal tampering or code loss also happens within the network database. The main database security risks are unauthorized or unintended activity or misuse by authorized database users, database administrators, or network or system managers, or by unauthorized users or hackers inappropriate access to sensitive data, metadata or functions within databases, or inappropriate changes to the database programs, structures or security configurations. Also malware infections causing incidents such as unauthorized access, leakage or disclosure of personal or proprietary data, deletion of or damage to the data or programs, interruption or denial of authorized access to the database, attacks on other systems and the unanticipated failure of database services may occur in database.The performance overload constraints and capacity issues resulting in the inability of authorized users to use databases as intended. The physical damage to database servers caused by computer room fires or floods, overheating, lightning, accidental liquid spills, static discharge, electronic breakdowns or equipment failures and obsolescence also contribute as risks. The design flaws and programming bugs in databases and the associated programs and systems, creating various security vulnerabilities for unauthorized privilege escalation, data loss or corruption, performance degradation may occur in databases.Also the data corruption and loss caused by the entry of invalid data or commands, mistakes in database or system administration processes, criminal damage pose security problems in databases.
Issues depends on Security types and database threats.
1. Legal and ethical issues regarding the right to access certain information. Some information may be deemed to be private and cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons.
2. Policy issues at the governmental, institutional, or corporate level as to what kinds of information should not be made publicly available for example credit ratings.
3. System related issues such as system levels at which various security functions should be enforced for example whether a security function should be handled at the physical hardware level, operating system level and the DBMS level.
4. The need in some organization to identify multiple security levels and to categorize the data and users based on these classifications for example top secret, secret, confidential, and unclassified. The security policy of the organization with respect to permitting access to various classifications of data must be enforced.
1. Loss of integrity - Database integrity refers to the requirement that information be protected from improper modification includes creation, insertion, modification, changing the status of data, and deletion. Integrity lost if authorized changes are made to the data by either intentional or accidental acts. If the loss of system or data integrity is not corrected, continued use of the contaminated system or corrupted data would result in inaccuracy, fraud or erroneous decisions.
2. Loss of availability - Database availability refers to making objects available to a human user or a program to which they have a legitimate right.
3. Loss of confidentiality - Data confidentiality refers to the protection of data from unauthorized disclosure. The impact is of confidential information can range from violation of data privacy act. Unauthorized, unanticipated or unintentional disclosure could result in loss of public confidence, or legal action against the organization.
1. Access control - The security mechanism of a DBMS must include provisions for restricting access to the database as a whole. This function is called access control and is handled by creating user accounts and passwords to control the login process by the DBMS.
3. Flow control - It prevents information from flowing in such a way that it reaches unauthorized users. Channels that are pathways for information to flow implicitly in ways that violate security policy of an organization are called covert channels.
4. Data encryption - It is used to protect sensitive data that is transmitted via some type of communication network. Encryption can be used to provide additional protection for sensitive portions of a database. The data is encoded using some coding algorithm. An unauthorized user who access encoded data will have difficulty deciphering it, but authorized users are given decoding or decryption algorithms to decipher data. Encrypting techniques are very difficult to decode without a key have been developed for military applications.
The database community needs techniques and organizational solutions to assess and attest the quality of data. These techniques include simple mechanisms such as quality stamps that are posted on websites. Also requires techniques to provide more effective integrity semantics verification and tools for the assessment of data quality, based on techniques such as record linkage. Application level recovery techniques are also needed for automatically repairing incorrect data. The Extract Transform Load tools widely used to load data in data warehouses are presently grappling with these issues.
distribution by enabling provable ownership of the content. It has traditionally relied upon the availability of a large noise domain within which the object can be altered while retaining its essential properties. However research is needed to assess the robustness of such techniques and to investigate different approaches aimed at preventing intellectual property rights violations.
a. Confinement - Take immediate action to eliminate the attackers access to the system and to isolate or contain the problem to prevent further spread.
b. Damage assessment - Determine the extent of the problem including failed functions and corrupted data.
c. Reconfiguration - Reconfigure to allow operation to continue in a degraded mode while recovery proceeds.
d. Repair - Repair corrupted or lost data and repair or reinstall failed system functions to reestablish a normal level of operation.
e. Fault treatment - To the extent possible, identify the weakness exploited in the attack and take steps to prevent a recurrence.
There are factors such as security concerns evolution, the disinter mediation of data access, new computing paradigms and applications, such as grid-based computing and on-demand business, introduced both new security requirements and new contexts in which to apply and possibly extend current approaches to achieve data security. Thus information security control measures includes access control, auditing, authentication, encryption, integrity controls, backups and application security. The security designs for specific database systems specify security administration and management functions such as administration and reporting of user access rights, log management and analysis, database replication or synchronization and backups along with various business driven information security controls within the database programs and functions for example data entry validation and audit trails. Also various security related activities such as manual controls are normally incorporated into the procedures, guidelines relating to the design, development, configuration, use, management and maintenance of databases.


Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one of the vertebrae in the spine slips out of place, shifting over the bone below. In most cases, this condition affects the lumbar or lower spine.
Patients with spondylolisthesis do not always have symptoms. But because the joints and nerves can be pinched when a vertebra is not in the proper position, some patients suffer low back pain, muscle tightness or weakness, sciatic leg pain and numbness or tingling in the thighs and buttocks.
Over time, lordosis (swayback) or kyphosis (roundback) can develop as a result.
Genetics may play a part in some cases of spondylolisthesis, as children may be born with thin vertebral bone or defective joints. Consequently, these individuals are more susceptible to bone slippage over the course of their lifetimes. When this condition occurs in children, it may be related to a birth defect in that portion of the spine.
Spondylolisthesis in adults is typically the result of aging or abnormal wear and tear on the bones and cartilage, such as from arthritis. Bone problems, such as osteoporosis or low bone density, also may be contributing factors.
Sudden injury or trauma to the spine also can cause spondylolisthesis.
More often, however, stress fractures caused by repeated use over time are responsible. Participating in sports activities that stress the spine, including gymnastics, football and weight lifting, can increase the risk of suffering spondylolisthesis, or cause the condition to worsen.
A medical history and physical exam are the first steps to diagnosing spondylolisthesis. The Sports and Spine specialist will observe the patient's posture and range of motion, and test reflexes and muscle strength.
The doctor also will order X-rays to determine if a vertebra has slipped.
To see how the bone moves, it may be necessary to take X-rays of the patient while he or she is bending forward and backward. To confirm a spondylolisthesis diagnosis, a CT scan or MRI also may be ordered.
Treatment for spondylolisthesis depends upon the severity of the vertebra slippage, but many patients are able to find symptomatic relief through conservative measures.
Physical therapy exercises may be recommended to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the lower back. In some spondylolisthesis cases, the Sports and Spine specialist may also recommend avoiding contact sports for a period of time, or wearing a back brace to limit spine movement.
For pain relief, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen are often recommended. For persistent or severe pain, epidural steroid injections may be considered.
If conservative treatments are unsuccessful at reducing the symptoms of spondylolisthesis, or if the vertebra slippage progressively worsens, surgery may be needed. A procedure may be performed to relieve pressure on the nerves. Or if no other treatment can provide relief from spondylolisthesis, the orthopedic surgeon may perform a spinal fusion to maintain the vertebrae in the proper position.


Many Harford County residents are planning to see Pope Francis, shown delivering a message to the faithful at the Vatican on Saturday, when the pontiff visits Philaelphia on Sept. 26-27.
Dozens of Harford County residents are hoping to get their own glimpse of Pope Francis, or at least be in the same city, later this month.
Several buses will travel from Harford County to Philadelphia, where the pontiff will conclude his first official U.S. visit. The bus pilgrimage is being organized by The Catholic Review on behalf of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Pope Francis is scheduled to be in Philadelphia on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27, after visiting Washington, D.C., Sept. 22-24 and New York City on Sept. 25.
A bus being sent by Bel Air's St. Margaret Church is already full, organizer Marie Dekowski said last week. Those interested in attending were being directed to another bus leaving from The John Carroll School.
St. Mark Church in Fallston also has two buses going, a school bus and a coach bus, John Carroll's campus minister Michelle Sullivan said.
In addition, on Sept. 21, John Carroll will host people taking part in a walking pilgrimage from Baltimore to Philadelphia for the papal events.
Sullivan said the Bel Air school will be offering food and showers to the pilgrims, who will spend the night at John Carroll.
"Meeting this Pope is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Pope Francis is such an interesting guy," Wilfred Ikegiofor, a senior at John Carroll, said.
The 16-year-old Joppa resident is one in a group of students from the high school who will be taking the bus to Philadelphia.
Several of the students said they are enthusiastic about Pope Francis showing a different side of the Catholic church and being open to different types of people.
"Usually people in the Catholic church, the stereotype is they are more conservative," Wilfred said, referring to Pope Francis' newly-forged reputation of taking a more liberal stance on social issues.
Around 2 p.m. Wednesday, the bell at Saint Margaret Parish in Bel Air pealed as word quickly spread from faithful observers in St. Peter's Square in Rome throughout the world that white smoke was pouring from the chimney at the Vatican, the formal announcement of the election of a new pope.
Most recently, the pope simplified the process by which Catholics can annul their marriages, as announced Sept. 8.
Emma Gromacki, 16, a junior from Forest Hill, also said meeting the pope is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Even though I am not Catholic, I am Episcopalian, I really find interest in this pope," she said. "He is so open and loving toward a lot of different people."
Edward Brenner, another 16-year-old junior at John Carroll, said he likes Pope Francis' "environmental activism," among other areas of focus.
"He is a very inspiring figure," Edward said about the pontiff.
At St. Margaret, Jennifer Kahoe, who works as a bookkeeper for the parish, is ready for her seat on the St. Margaret bus.
A convert to Catholicism in the early 1990s, Kahoe said she saw Pope John Paul II when he came to Baltimore in 1995.
"I am always excited about the pope," Kahoe said. "There is something about being with thousands or millions of people with the same faith that is energizing. It's just a rare opportunity."
Kahoe said she is "cautiously optimistic" about Pope Francis' approach to things but she likes the direction he is going.
In Philadelphia, "I am just completely open to anything he has to say. I will just be trying to drink it all in," she said.
Michelle Sullivan, who is going on the John Carroll trip with her husband and two daughters, calls it a "historic event."
"We are really excited because I just think the energy in that crowd is going to be pretty amazing," she said, adding she agrees with media references to a "Francis factor" potentially affecting public policy and secular events such as United States presidential election.
"I wanted to go because I do think [Pope] Francis is very popular among the masses. He really gave me a lot of hope in terms of the direction of the church," Sullivan, a Bel Air resident, said. "I love his pastoral approach and how he puts love and mercy above anything else."
Pope Francis has made headlines and earned rare levels of worldwide acclaim for his populist moves and attitudes.
Sullivan called him a "very refreshing and beautiful model" and added she wants to go on this trip particularly because "this pope speaks to me."

Meghan Markle: Instagram slip-up REVEALS Royal Baby's 'true due date'
by Palmazio Montanino	- at October 19, 2018
Excited Victorians chanted Harry and Meghan's names as they hugged, accepted gifts and shook hands with thousands of delighted fans lined up along Government House Drive.
The couple met a community surfing group called OneWave, which raises awareness of mental health, before going for a walk along the sand.
She paired the summery look with a pair of Castaner wedges, also a favourite of Pippa Middleton.
The shoes are a little more affordable for those of us without a royal budget, and would set you back £92.
"Meghan told me that pregnancy was like having jet lag".
During that time, they will take in all the sights of Australia, before heading to Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, meeting with locals and carrying out engagements at the Invictus Games in Sydney.
So, thanks to that unspoken rule, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle both wear their wedges when they're not accompanying her royal highness.
"She said a really handsome quote".
"She said she was up at 4.30am this morning doing yoga in her room as she couldn't sleep".
"We are very lucky they have agreed to share their lovely child with us".
After their tram ride, the couple arrived at a beach to meet Beachpatrol members, who work to keep the beaches safe and clean.
Meeting Meghan at a reception in Sydney hosted by the Governor-General, Missy wrote: "What an honour to meet the attractive Duchess today!". "She really doesn't like them and it's well known among the women in the family". "She said it was very freeing that she no longer has social media".

Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where Customs and Border Protection reported the death of an eight-year-old migrant from Guatemala.
HOUSTON (AP) — U.S. immigration authorities said Wednesday that they have done new medical checks on nearly every child in Border Patrol custody after the death of a second youngster in the agency's care in the span of less than three weeks.
CBP said in a statement that an agent first noticed the boy had a cough and ''glossy eyes'' at about 9 a.m. Monday. He was hospitalized twice that day before dying, the agency said. The cause of death was under investigation.
US Customs and Border Protection is seeking help from other agencies to perform medical checks on every child in its custody.
The agency ''is considering options for surge medical assistance'' from the Coast Guard and may request help from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
With border crossings surging, CBP processes thousands of children — both alone and with their parents — every month. According to CBP statistics, border agents detained 5,283 children unaccompanied by a parent in November alone. Agents last month also apprehended 25,172 ''family units,'' or parents and children together.
Around 7 p.m., agents helped clean up the boy's vomit. CBP said the father ''declined further medical assistance'' then.

Reports suggest at least 71 people have died from drowning, collapsing walls and electrocution
CHENNAI, India, Nov 16 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Floods in south India and Sri Lanka have killed over 70 people -- inundating homes, farmland and highways -- forcing authorities to shut down schools and colleges in some areas, officials and media reports said on Monday.
The floods, triggered by incessant rains over the past seven days, have submerged parts of Tamil Nadu state, including its capital Chennai, where most of the deaths and devastation has taken place.
Caused by a depression formed in the Bay of Bengal, the heavy rains have also affected Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh states, as well as neighbouring Sri Lanka.
Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said a 5 billion rupee ($75 million) relief fund has been set up. She brushed aside criticisms the government was poorly prepared to deal with the flooding in Chennai, one of India's biggest cities.
"The rain that was meant to be spread out over the monsoon months has poured in just a few days," Jayalalithaa told reporters during a visit to a flood-hit area in Chennai.
"No precautionary measures would have managed to prevent water logging and damages. In areas where flooding and damage have been caused, relief, rescue and repair works are being taken up on a war footing," she said.
There are no official figures on the number of deaths, but media reports suggested at least 71 people have died from drowning, collapsing walls and electrocution.
Television pictures showed children in Chennai crammed into boats on water-logged roads, commuters wading through waist-deep waters to get to work and bridges submerged as lakes overflowed.
In Sri Lanka, floods in the northern parts of the Indian Ocean island have affected 58,000 people. One person has reportedly died.
India's southeast coast is vulnerable to annual cyclones in November and December, severe low pressure formations in the Bay of Bengal have resulted in heavier than usual rainfall, say weather officials.
In Chennai, Cuddalore, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Villupuram districts, 23 to 37 cm (9 to 14 inches) of rain was recorded on a single day, much higher than the usual annual average.
Government officials said around 10,000 people living in low-lying coastal areas have been evacuated from their homes and given refuge in relief camps.
The National Disaster Response Force and the army have been called in to help distribute food rations and rescue people stranded due to damaged roads and bridges.
India's weather department forecasts the rains would cease in Tamil Nadu but predicted heavy rain for Andhra Pradesh in the coming days. (Reporting by Sandhya Ravishankar in Chennai.

Q: Framework header files not included in pod lib lint I am trying to add VPX framework that is required for toxav to be compiled. I have my pod spec file like so:
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
 s.name             = "toxcore-ios"
 s.version          = "0.1.3"
 s.summary          = "Cocoapods wrapper for toxcore"
 s.homepage         = "https://github.com/dvor/toxcore-ios"
 s.license          = 'GPLv3'
 s.author           = { "Dmytro Vorobiov" => "d@dvor.me" }
 s.source           = {
  :git => "https://github.com/dvor/toxcore-ios.git",
  :tag => s.version.to_s,
  :submodules => true
 }

 s.platform     = :ios, '7.0'
 s.requires_arc = true

 s.source_files = 'toxcore/toxcore/*.{c,h}', 'toxcore/toxencryptsave/*.{c,h}', 'toxcore/toxav/*.{c,h}'
 s.public_header_files = 'toxcore/toxcore/*.h', 'toxcore/toxav/*.h'
 s.dependency 'libsodium', '~> 1.0.1'
 s.dependency 'libopus', '~> 1.1'
 s.ios.vendored_frameworks = 'VPX.framework'
 s.prepare_command = 'libvpx/build/make/iosbuild.sh'
end

For what it's worth, the prepare_command creates the VPX.framework. I tried adding the VPX.framework files to the s.source_files and s.public_header_files, however they still receive the same error below when running pod lib lint. I'm not even sure if it's necessary to add it to the s.source_files or s.public_header_files since I believe the s.ios.frameworks already takes care of that?
toxcore/toxav/toxav.h:34:10: fatal error: 'vpx/vpx_image.h' file not found

A: I came across the same issue this week while linking frameworks in my newly created pod. You should use the --use-libraries option while using lint:
pod lib lint --use-libraries

This option is also available while pushing your pod to the master Cocoapods repository or your own repository.
pod repo push REPO_NAME POD_NAME.podspec --use-libraries

Hope this helps!

A: I figured out my issue. The VPX framework path was listed as below:
  VPX.framework/Headers/vpx/{files.h}
When we use vendored_frameworks it actually only looks under the Header folder for the header files. So instead we had this
VPX.framework/Headers/{looks here}
In which case I had to move the files under vpx , to Header

Imagine that you have a cool business idea, you don't have the money, you don't have the experience, just a nice idea that can earn you some money… What would you do?
Others will probably go further, but when they meet a bigger obstacle, they would give up. For example, you go and make a presentation of your business idea in front of a venture funding company. They like it, but they want some documentation like a detailed business plan, many other documents, they want that you found a company etc, etc. And you say: "Man, that's hella lot of work, and it's still not sure that I will get enough funding…" And you stop taking action and give up!
A very small percentage of people will really take action. This means that they will do whatever they can and whatever it is required to achieve a certain goal. Taking action is not just starting, it's a continuous process and this is what everyone should do to achieve a decent success. This is what any one of the famous entrepreneurs did, to become rich and build an empire. I know the stories of many successful people, here on this site you can find many of them and there is no exception. All of them did take consistent action to achieve success.
I don't say that there are no other important factors, but taking action is the engine of your success. You have to start it and never let it shut down… Never let your fuel run out! The only sure way to fail is to stop taking action and give up!
If you never take action, you will never make it for sure!
If you stop taking action, you will not get where you want to for sure!
If you take action and keep doing this, sooner or later you are there!

We loved exploring circles last week with our first round of shape themed baby bins. This week we moved on to square themed bins for more hands on shape learning fun!
Squares by Yusuke Yonezu is a great book for introducing shapes, and also for reviewing colors and numbers. We loved the Circle book last week, and *spoiler alert* next week we will be reading Triangles by the same author. 😉 The bright and colorful cut out pages have Aubrey all over each page poking her chubby little fingers through the holes and really getting a feel for each shape.
For this square art project I was feeling brave and we ventured into the world of gluing. I made sure to keep a close on Miss Aubrey to be sure she didn't try to chomp her glue stick of course. Then I cut up lots of colored squares from astrobrights paper and showed her how to use her glue stick. If your little one isn't ready to try out a glue stick you could be the keeper of the glue and put some on each square for your kiddo. Aubrey is 21 months now and wants to be independent with EVERYTHING so she was loving her new big girl status. After lots of gluing we used a Duplo block to stamp squares with tempera paint and added a few square stickers as well.
Our next activity is a repeat from last week just switching out circle shaped buttons for squares. If you've been following along with our previous baby bin theme, you know we love repetition. It may seem tedious to us but little ones love predictable and familiar activities (Which is why your little one probably has a favorite book that you've read 752 times in a row before finally hiding it under the couch just for a break. Yup, been there!) This activity combines threading, stuffing and sorting for all kinds of fine motor fun. I filled our bin with square shaped buttons, lacing thread and colored bowls with lids. I cut slots in the lids of each bowl large enough for the buttons to be pushed into. Aubrey used the strings to thread button necklaces which required LOTS of concentration. She also pushed buttons into bowls and even tried to sort by color a bit.
Our last activity was making squares with play dough. (I know just like we did last week, repetition is good for little minds remember!) I rolled out a few colors of play dough and Aubrey used rollers, cutters, Mega Blocks, and Lego Duplos to create squares of varying colors and sizes. Easy peasy!

Aumenau ist ein Ortsteil der Gemeinde Villmar im mittelhessischen Landkreis Limburg-Weilburg.

Geographische Lage

Aumenau liegt am Ostrand des Limburger Beckens, größtenteils am rechten nördlichen Ufer der Lahn, vier Kilometer nordöstlich der Kerngemeinde Villmar und 13 Kilometer östlich der Kreisstadt Limburg an der Lahn.

Die Gemarkung grenzt im Süden an Langhecke, im Südwesten an Villmar, im Nordwesten an Seelbach und im Norden an einem Punkt an Falkenbach (alle Villmarer Ortsteile). Im Nordosten schließt sich Elkerhausen und im Osten Blessenbach an (beides Ortsteile von Weinbach).

Der Ort selbst erstreckt sich über den Hang des Lahntals in einem nach Südosten ausgeformten Knie des Flusses. Bei den nordwestlichen und westlichen Wohngebieten handelt es sich vor allem um Neubaugebiete, die nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entstanden sind. Einige wenige Häuser liegen auf dem linken Flussufer. Beide Teile des Ortes sind durch eine Straßenbrücke über die Lahn verbunden. Am Flussufer erreicht das Gelände eine Höhe von rund 122 Metern. An seinem hoch gelegenen Nordwestrand des Orts stehen die letzten Häuser auf rund 160 Metern Höhe. Rund um das Tal der Lahn und dem bei Aumenau mündenden Rißbach steigt das Gelände deutlich an, wobei insbesondere westlich des Orts eine Hochebene ausgeformt wird. Die höchste Höhe erreicht der Untergrund mit 250 Metern Höhe auf dem "Steinigen Kopf" in einem Waldstück an der Gemarkungsgrenze zu Seelbach im Nordwesten.

Die Aumenauer Gemarkung wird von mehreren Waldstücken auf den Gipfeln der verschiedenen Höhenzüge und größeren zusammenhängenden Landwirtschaftsflächen auf den ebeneren Abschnitten geprägt. Tendenziell ist der westliche Gemarkungsteil von der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzung dominiert, während im Osten der Wald vorherrscht, der in größere Waldgebiete des Hintertaunus übergeht.

Geschichte

Ortsgeschichte
Als "Villa Amana" wurde der Ort im Jahr 764 in einer Schenkungsurkunde an das Kloster Fulda erwähnt und kann damit im weiten Umkreis die früheste Ersterwähnung verzeichnen. Damals gehörte der Ort vermutlich zu einer nicht mehr klar ansprechbaren Einflusseinheit, die ihr Zentrum in Niederselters hatte. Im 9. Jahrhundert befand sich der Ort im Einflussbereich der Konradiner. Im 14. Jahrhundert wurde Aumenau selbst zum Hauptort eines Zentgerichts, das Seelbach, Fürfurt, Blessenbach, Laubuseschbach, Wolfenhausen, Münster und Weyer umfasste. Gerichtsplatz waren die Kapelle und der Hof Nikolaus-Dernbach, die sich an der heutigen Straße nach Langhecke, am Eingang des Rißbachtals befanden. Zunächst gehörte der Zent der Grafschaft Diez an. Im Jahr 1366 verpfändete Graf Gerhard VII. von Diez Aumenau an die Herren von Runkel, die die Herrschaft bald ganz übernahmen. Ihren Nachfolgern, den Grafen von Wied, gehörte der Ort bis 1806.

Der Ort bestand im Mittelalter aus Niederaumenau an der Stelle des heutig Ortskerns und Oberaumenau, rund einen Kilometer lahnaufwärts am linken Ufer in der heutigen Gemarkung "Schafstall". Der Ort fiel im Spätmittelalter wüst.
Die erste nachweisbare Kapelle im Ort wurde 1510 geweiht. Vermutlich vor 1561 wurde die Reformation eingeführt. Ab 1624 gehörte Aumenau der Pfarrei Seelbach an. Die Kapelle Nikolaus-Dernbach wurde am Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts zur Ruine. 1819 galt auch die alte Kapelle als baufällig. Nach Reparaturen wurde sie 1854 abgerissen und eine neue Kirche erbaut. Die älteste heute vorhandene Kirche, ein historistisches Gebäude von 1903, gehört der evangelischen Kirchengemeinde. Inzwischen verfügen zudem die katholische (Baujahr 1954) und die lutherische Kirchengemeinde über jeweils ein eigenes Kirchengebäude. Die lutherische Kirchengemeinde existiert seit 1817. Ihre Kirche wurde 1952 erbaut. Katholiken kamen insbesondere als Heimatvertriebene nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in den Ort. Sie bekamen 1954 eine eigene Kirche. 1964 errichtete die evangelische Kirchengemeinde ein Gemeindehaus.

Schulort war zunächst Seelbach als Sitz des Kirchspiels. Ab 1805 gab es Schulunterricht in Aumenau und spätestens 1819 ein festes Gebäude für die Schule. 1835 wurde ein Schulhaus erbaut. Die heutige Schule wurde im Jahr 1912 fertiggestellt.

Im Jahr 1862 erhielt der Ort einen Bahnhof der Lahntalbahn, dem kurz darauf noch eine zweite Verladestation folgte, was einen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung auslöste. Die Bahnstrecke machte 1878 den Bau der ersten Lahnbrücke nötig. Im Jahr 1928 entstand die jetzige Brücke. 1907 erhielt der Ort fließendes Wasser. 1924 war der gesamte Ort an das Stromnetz angeschlossen, 1925 wurde eine Turn- und Gemeinschaftshalle errichtet. 1979 wurde ein neuer Friedhof fertiggestellt. 1980 entstand ein neuer Sportplatz, im Jahr 1989 daneben die "Eichelberghalle" als Gemeinschaftshalle, an der 1999 ein Kindergarten errichtet wurde.

Hessische Gebietsreform (1970–1977)

Im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Hessen genehmigte die Landesregierung mit Wirkung vom 1. Februar 1971 den Zusammenschluss der bis dahin selbständigen Gemeinden Aumenau und Villmar im Oberlahnkreis zu neuen Gemeinde mit dem Namen Villmar. Ortsbezirke nach der Hessischen Gemeindeordnung wurden nicht errichtet.

Brexit: UK's White Paper largely unworkable, says Barnier
EU's chief negotiator claims document has useful elements but many questions remain

The British Brexit White Paper is largely unworkable and raises fundamental questions for the European Union, Michel Barnier has warned.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator on Friday reported to EU ministers in Brussels that the White Paper is not compatible in important respects with fundamental EU values, notably the integrity of the single market, is largely unworkable, and conflicts with EU economic interest.
There are elements in the paper, however, which could be worked on to find common ground, he said, promising that his team would work on the Brexit negotiations intensively over the summer months. But, with the Austrian presidency of the EU again reporting "no substantial progress" on the Irish "backstop", Mr Barnier returned repeatedly at his press conference to the issue, demanding that the British come to Brussels next week to resolve the issue.
There would be no deal on withdrawal, or transition, or the future relationship unless there was agreement on the backstop, in the Withdrawal Agreement, 80 per cent of which has been agreed, he said.
The backstop agreement reached in December stated that, in the absence of another solution for the Border, Northern Ireland would effectively remain within the EU customs union, ensuring no hard border in Ireland.
'Prerequisite'
Mr Barnier insisted, with 13 weeks to go, again that a "legally operative" backstop was a "prerequisite" to agreement on a Withdrawal Agreement in October – "all 27 member states insist on this" – and that the EU was open to other solutions which respect its single market's integrity.
It is understood Poland suggested a failure to reach a deal on Ireland need not halt the process but they were firmly rebuffed by the rest of the 27.
Responding to questions about British prime minister Theresa May's Belfast speech on Friday, Mr Barnier said that the EU had "worked creatively" to come up with one version of the commitment made by Ms May in December. He emphasised that "in no sense" was the EU "intent on creating a border" in the Irish Sea or dividing the UK.
It was necessary, he said, again to "de-dramatise" its proposal – "technical controls" on goods and agricultural produce that were akin to those already in place in Belfast on agricultural products entering the North from the rest of the UK.

Scammers exploit Brexit taxes and charges for packages
Mr Barnier said that the White Paper had several elements that are "very useful" for their talks and that they could work on the basis of the White Paper to find common ground.
He cited specifically its commitment to a free trade agreement, to a level playing field on issues such as state aids, and in particular to strong "convergence" between the EU and UK on internal and external security. In the latter regard, he said, the paper's emphasis on the protection of fundamental rights and the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in safeguarding them was particularly important. But his critique was sharper.
Citing the British willingness to apply an EU regulatory rulebook to goods trading across the border from the EU, he asked what that would mean to EU standards that were not related to border crossings, such as pesticide controls. How would the EU protect consumers if such issues were not covered? And he was sharply critical of proposals for policing multiple tariffs on the border.
How could customs officials verify the destination of goods? And could the EU delegate to a third country outside the union the business of collecting its taxes? The distinction by the British paper between goods and services was also problematic, Mr Barnier said, warning that a lack of regulation on the service components of goods would lead to unfair commercial advantages for UK firms.
The British customs proposal for "differentiated" tariffs – tariffs on goods destined to the UK and on those being shipped on to the EU, and which the UK would collect on its borders – are widely seen among the 27 as a clear breach of the single market's integrity.
UK companies would be able to import raw materials at lower tariffs, one Dutch source said, and then sell on finished goods tariff-free to the rest of the EU at a significant competitive advantage.
That was never going to wash, the source said. And an unwillingness to trust the elaborate proposed British customs arrangement as secure has been fuelled by member-states' awareness of a massive customs fraud by the Chinese through British ports arising from which the UK authorities face an EU fine of €2.7 billion.
Chinese fraud
The European Commission imposed the fine in March after the union's anti-fraud unit, Olaf, reported that the UK had since 2007 allowed a massive Chinese fraud network evade paying the appropriate level of customs duties on textiles and footwear imports, to the EU using "fictitious and false invoices and incorrect customs value declarations at importation," a practice known as "undervaluation fraud".
The UK had been warned of the abuse, the commission insisted, and had failed to stop the practice. London disputes the scale of the fine and has also told Brussels, according to Politico, that it has implemented about 100 measures since 2010 aimed at fighting fraud, resulting in savings of £175 billion (€196) that would have otherwise gone unpaid.
But, not surprisingly, EU ministers considering the White Paper say they do not have full confidence in the ability or willingness of the UK authorities to verify imported goods' destination or to track them following importation as the UK proposals on a common customs territory suggest.
Germany's Europe minister has said he is growing "nervous" about the state of the negotiations. On his way into the meeting Michael Roth stressed urgency on agreeing a withdrawal deal in just three months time or risk a "no deal" Brexit.
"I will remain an optimist but it's hard to be an optimist in these challenging times."
"We have to be ready in October to agree the Withdrawal Agreement – this is the priority", said Nathalie Loiseau, French minister for European affairs.
She added that the UK had still not provided a backstop solution that "can be accepted by the EU27".
Ministers also considered a report from the commission on "preparedness" which urged member states to step up their planning for all Brexit eventualities.

Q: compress images before uploading using jquery file upload Am using the jquery file upload plugin for direct upload to s3, I am trying to get the image compressed before upload it, I have tried the option imageQuality: 0.8
fileInput.fileupload({

            fileInput:       fileInput,
            url:             my_url
            type:            'POST',
            paramName:        'file',
            dataType:         'XML',
            replaceFileInput: false,
            acceptFileTypes: /(\.|\/)(gif|jpe?g|png)$/i
            maxFileSize: 999000,
            imageQuality: 0.8,

            // .....

})

However the image size doesn't get compressed after upload
Am not sure that imageQuality is the right thing here, but am open to any other alternative as well :
For instance: I have also created my own function to compress images, that function return the image Blob, I just have no idea how to tell JQuery File Upload to use that blob instead of the image from the input file

A: I am going to answer my question after I found the solution hopefully this help someone in the future :
To compress an image using jquery file upload there is 2 solutions, either you use the compression provided by the plugin or you create your own compress function and use it with jquery file upload, I ended up using the second solution
First solution:
The thing I stumbled upon was this link: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Client-side-Image-Resizing
So what you need to do basically is import the following files on your project: jquery.js, jquery.ui.widget.js, load-image.all.min.js, canvas-to-blob.min.js, jquery.iframe-transport.js, jquery.fileupload.js, jquery.fileupload-process.js, jquery.fileupload-image.js
Then looking at the options of jQuery File upload, I found the option imageQuality, reading it, it says :

imageQuality: Sets the quality parameter given to the canvas.toBlob() call when
  saving resized images.

So it seems that the imageQuality option works only when the image get resized, but in my case I don't need to resize the image, but you can use another option imageForceResize, by combining these 2 options you can make the compression work, but there is a third option needed disableImageResize, this option is set to true by default, so we need to set it to false to allow image resizing.
The final code looks like this :
$('#file_input').fileupload({

    # these 3 options are necessary together for compressing
    disableImageResize: false,
    imageForceResize: true,
    imageQuality: 0.7,
    // ......
})

For the second solution :
if you want to use your own compress function which in my opinion I think it's the best way to go, then in this case you just need jquery.js, jquery.ui.widget.js, jquery.fileupload.js
Jquery file upload store the files to upload in data.files before submit them, so what you have to do is to have a function that compress the image(s) and return an array of blobs, then overwrite data.files
$('#file_input').fileupload({

   add: function(e, data){
       // .......
       data.files = compress_images_function()
       data.submit()
   }

})

Mallinckrodt's Niemann-Pick Type C drug fails to hit trial target
Selina McKee
UK-based Mallinckrodt has revealed that its experimental therapy for Niemann-Pick Type C failed to hit targets in a recently completed registration trial.
The firm did not reveal any specific data, but said that VTS-270 did not show a statistically significant separation from placebo.
However, as US regulators indicated to Mallinckrodt at a meeting back in August that the drug's potential approvability will be based on the totality of data, not a single study or endpoint, the firm's review of data from the Phase IIb/III trial, including the longer term open label portion, "continues to proceed and is being assessed in combination with several other available data sources."
"A better understanding of the potential benefit of VTS-270 will emerge as the company carefully considers the totality of data available and continues to work with the primary investigators and the FDA to determine the best path forward," the firm said in an SEC filing.
Mallinckrodt acquired VTS-270 for around $1.2 billion via its purchase of Sucampo in January this year.
NPC is a progressive, irreversible, chronically debilitating - and ultimately lethal - genetic disease, caused by a defect in lipid transportation within the cell, which leads to excessive accumulation of lipids in the brain, liver and spleen.
Current treatment is focused on managing specific symptoms of the condition in each individual, as well as preventing secondary complications.
VTS-270, a mixture of 2-hydroxypropyl-B-cyclodextrin, targets cholesterol and sphingolipid storage. The firm says preliminary studies have shown that it can promote transport of the cholesterol that would normally accumulate in the lysosomes of cells carrying the mutation responsible for the disease, restoring normal cholesterol metabolism and regulation.

All Is Forgiven
All Is Forgiven (Tout est pardonné) was the first feature Mia Hansen-Løve made, in 2007, when she was about 25/26. It's an interesting debut and sets the tone for a career built on small, carefully crafted human-relationship dramas going for the slow burn rather than the big melodramatic bang.
The Nordic name is a bit of a bum steer. Hansen-Löve is French, was born in Paris, and works in the distinctly French cinematic tradition, itself a continuation of the French literary tradition – Hugo, Balzac, Flaubert, Zola etc.
Which is another way of saying that her films are about recognisable people having a bad time. Here it's never really certain whether it's the dad who's having the bad time, the wife, or the daughter. He, Victor (Paul Blain), is a handsome wiry guy who fancies himself as a writer but isn't quite so good at buckling down to the work. Instead he drinks, or takes drugs, or eyes up women and files them away somewhere in a "to be continued" folder in his brain. She, Annette (Marie-Christine Friedrich), is an Austrian who came to Paris to be with the man she loved, had a child, then took fright/flight and relocated the entire family back to Vienna. Now, back in Paris again, she and Victor are making another go of it.
And between the two of them is Pamela (played by Victoire Rousseau as a child and her sister Constance as a teenager), a quiet, watchful kid caught in the middle as her parents' marriage doesn't so much fall apart as get stuck on the rocks.
The film divides into three chapters – Vienna, Return to Paris and Pamela, 11 Years Later, when Pamela, now pretty much grown up, is reunited with her father, all cleaned up, so he says, for a tentative relationship with a man she's half forgotten, and he possibly her, for all his protestations.
Annette and Victor
This is a film about growing up – the man and the girl – told as a string of vignettes. Hansen-Løve is particularly good on these little moments. Vibes. The way a man catches a woman's eye at a party and a little spark flashes across. The way a young woman enters a nightclub and feels liberated in the dark. And she uses them as little palate cleansers between moments of dramatic heft.
There are no engineered climaxes in this film, nothing that feels like it's there to satisfy a genre convention, or a clock-watcher's need to hit a beat by a certain point in order for the payoff to come down the road. All Is Forgiven feels natural. It isn't – it's highly contrived – but Hansen-Løve isn't following a formula laid down by a screenwriting guru (or app).
In this film big moments come and go almost unnoticed, and emotional climaxes that seem to have been written in stone never materialise. Hansen-Løve is playing with us, nicely.
You'd not peg it as a first film, in terms of its self assurance and the performances Hansen-Løve gets from her actors. Little things suggest it is, like the way the action cuts to 11 years later and Victor, Annette and Victor's sensible and caring sister Martine (Carole Franck) all look exactly the same. Same hairstyles. He's not gone even a tiny bit greyer. Budget? Or again are we being played with a bit? Time moves on but people don't?
It's Constance Rousseau's first film too, and she's just right as the grown-up(ish) Pamela, a clear-eyed and sweet daughter nervous about meeting a man whose reputation has been curated by the ex-wife who has never forgiven him.
Stuff does happen in All Is Forgiven, big stuff, but it's never presented as "big" to us, the viewer, even though it's enormous for the person experiencing it. In many respects that's the opposite of the way most dramatists work, and it's why Mia Hansen-Løve is so interesting.

At 721m Ben Cleuch is the highest point in the grassy rounded Ochil Hills. It's most commonly ascended from the south where the approach routes are through deep glens and up steep slopes. It's northern side is more open and gentle, however, distances are longer and the terrain a bit rougher.
The routes described on this page all start from Alva. They are all described as ascents but can easily be used for descents. Mix and match to create your own circular walk. The Alva routes can be combined with Tillicoultry routes using a path through the Ochil Hills Woodland Park between the two towns. The amount of descent on a route is the amount of ascent in the reverse direction (i.e. when using for descent).
FK12 5LD, Alva or Woodland Park car park, FK12 5HU.
This is probably the easiest ascent of Ben Cleuch, as once up the zig zags at the foot of the Silver Glen there are no further steep sections, plus a landrover track provides an easy ascent for much of the way.
From the Alva Glen car park, follow the path upstream to cross a footbridge to a viewing area for the impressive waterfall at the foot of the glen. From this point there is quite a network of paths. You want to head up the hillside in a roughly east direction to get above the burn and reach an old pipeline. If you spot any marker posts for the Diamond Jubilee Route follow these. Once you reach the pipeline, go under it and up a few steps beside a Scottish Water pump station to reach a metal pedestrian gate. Once through the gate you are on a path across the open hillside leading to a landrover track at the foot of the Silver Glen.
If starting from the Ochil Hills Woodland Park car park, follow the paths in a westerly direction through the park to reach a pedestrian gate onto the open hill and turn right up the landrover track.
Go left onto the landrover track and follow the zig zags up the hill. It's a bit tedious but is an easy way of gaining height. At the top of the zig zags there is a junction of tracks. The route described below keeps straight on (right) at this junction into the Silver Glen.
Follow the landrover track for 3km gaining height and reaching the headwaters of the Glenwinnel Burn at Alva Moss. Leave the track when it turns left just before its termination.
An obvious path strikes off north east uphill to the summit of Ben Buck. However, just before reaching the actual 679m summit the path bears right towards Ben Cleuch. You can include the summit though and then follow the fence line south and pick up the path again when it joins the fence. Continue upwards alongside the fence to reach another fence with a stile. Cross over this fence and turn left to follow it for 400m to the summit of Ben Cleuch with its view indicator, trig point and shelter cairn.
A fine high level route on to Ben Cleuch that is a bit quieter than the other more popular routes.
If starting from the Ochil Hills Woodland Park car park, follow the paths in a westerly direction through the park to reach a pedestrian gate where you turn right to go up the zig zags.
Go left onto the landrover track and follow the zig zags up the hill. It's a bit tedious but is an easy way of gaining height. At the top of the zig zags there is a junction of tracks. The route described below turns left at this junction to head over The Nebit (optional) and Craighorn.
About 150m after the junction a grass path heads off to your right up the southern face of The Nebit. You can either use this path to gain the 449m summit or simply stay on the landrover track and follow it around the western side of the hill to reach the Glenwinnel Burn and the start of the ascent on to Craighorn. If you go up the Nebit, descend in a west north west direction from its summit back down to the landrover track and the Glenwinnel Burn above the Spout of Craighorn waterfall (do not descend north east into the Silver Glen).
Cross the burn and then start to ascend the grass slope of Craighorn ahead of you. A grass path soon starts to form and takes you all the way to the 583m summit area.
Beyond the summit the ground flattens out and the path continues northwards to reach a wooden gate in a fence. Climb over the gate and follow another grass path/track to your right in a roughly north direction away from the fence line. The path takes you across the edge of the boggy ground known as Alva Moss to reach the top of the Silver Glen landrover track.
From this point an obvious path strikes off north east uphill to the summit of Ben Buck. However, just before reaching the actual 679m summit the path bears right towards Ben Cleuch. You can include the summit though and then follow the fence line south and pick up the path again when it joins the fence. Continue upwards alongside the fence to reach another fence with a stile. Cross over this fence and turn left to follow it for 400m to the summit of Ben Cleuch with its view indicator, trig point and shelter cairn.
The shortest (and quickest) route from Alva to Ben Cleuch summit. Probably the most well used of the Alva routes.
If starting from the Ochil Hills Woodland Park car park, follow the paths in a westerly direction through the park to reach a pedestrian gate onto the open hill where you turn right to go up the zig zags.
Go left onto the landrover track and follow the zig zags up the hill. It's a bit tedious but is an easy way of gaining height. At the top of the zig zags there is a junction of tracks. The route described below keeps straight on (right) at this junction, heading into the Silver Glen.
Follow the landrover track through the Silver Glen for 1km until you reach the 2nd gate. After the gate, take a grass path steeply up the hillside to your right leading on to the southern shoulder of Ben Ever. When you reach the sky line turn left (north) towards the summit of Ben Ever.
You now have the option of either going over the 622m summit of Ben Ever or round it to the east. Both routes converge at a gate on the north side of the hill. A short uphill slog on to the shoulder of Ben Cleuch following a fence line now follows. The path bears right away from the fence to short cut the corner before reaching the summit with its trig point, view indicator and rock shelter.
An aesthetically pleasing, though somewhat steep, ascent of Wood Hill that makes for a good high level approach to Ben Cleuch.
Do not follow the landrover track up the hill but instead go through the metal pedestrian gate into the woodlands in front of you. You are now in the Ochil Hills Woodland Park. The path crosses a burn where a viewing platform for the waterfalls and silver mine has been constructed. You soon reach a track junction where you need to bear left up the hill. After a further 100 m you reach another junction where you again turn left now heading uphill in a north west direction.
Keep on this path, initially through trees and bracken, as it turns right and heads up the hill to a gate where you exit the woodland. You are now on more open hillside with old pine trees. The grass path goes steeply up the south west side of the hill following an old grassy wall as it gains height. As you approach the summit of the hill you have the choice of continuing straight up the steep side of the hill or following the path round to the north of the summit for an easy final approach.
Leave the 526m summit in a northerly direction on a grassy path. A steep sided gully soon bars your way. It is possible to go down and back up the steep grass slopes, or alternatively follow a feint path that skirts around the western edge of the gully. Once over/round the gully follow the grass path north east to reach a fence. Go through the gate and keep the fence to your right so that you are walking north west towards Ben Ever. Pass the rocky promontory of Calf Craig, after which the path strays away from the fence towards the Ben Ever summit.
The path leaves the fence line as it heads towards Ben Ever. You now have the option of either going over the 622m summit of Ben Ever or round it to the east. Both routes converge at a gate on the north side of the hill. A short uphill slog on to the shoulder of Ben Cleuch following a fence line now follows. The path bears right away from the fence to short cut the corner before reaching the summit with its trig point, view indicator and rock shelter.
A longer route but a particularly fine one that follows the path up the lovely Alva Glen.
This route is best started from the Alva Glen car park rather than the Woodland Park.
From the Alva Glen car park, follow the path upstream to cross a footbridge to a viewing area for the impressive waterfall at the foot of the glen. From this point there is quite a network of paths. You want to head up the hillside in a roughly east direction to get above the burn and reach an old pipeline. If you spot any marker posts for the Diamond Jubilee Route follow these. Once you reach the pipeline, go under it and then up the hill. Keep left, do not follow the marker post to the right (that way leads to the Silver Glen).
A pedestrian gate takes you into the wooded lower Alva Glen. This is a particularly spectacular walk through the river gorge on a maintained though uneven path. The Alva burn tumbles over waterfalls, and through rock pools as it makes it way down the hill. There are a number of viewpoints along the way.
The path leaves the lower glen close to the smugglers cave. Cross the stile, to continue following the burn upstream. The path splits and our route follows the left hand fork. The right hand fork takes you down to the river which is worth a detour if you have time. If the lower glen was spectacular, the upper glen could be described as delightful, There are still waterfalls, rock pools and isolated trees but there is a more open feel to this part of the walk. The path is not maintained now and there are a couple of rocky steps so good footwear is essential. The grassy prow opposite the Spout of Craighorn waterfall is an ideal spot for a coffee / lunch spot although the sheep also like this spot so watch where you sit! Beyond the waterfall the path continues upstream to reach the confluence of the Alva Burn and Strabanster Burn.
The path now fades out and you need to cross the burn which may entail getting wet feet! Clamber up the steep grass slope in front of you to reach a fence with a gate in the corner. Go through the gate and look for a grass quad bike track to your left going up the hill. Follow this track keeping straight on when a fork goes off to your left downhill. At the next fork keep left still going up the hill (right will take you back to Alva via a landrover track). You can either stay on the track or you can use the path to the west (left) of it to reach the small hillock. Either way you need to follow the path/track as it turns right (east) close to the hillock, still going uphill. After almost 300m you then reach a fence junction with a gate.
Go through the openable gate and follow the grass track eastwards with a fence to your right. You will pass two gates in the fence. At the second gate the path starts to leave the fence in a more northerly direction to cross the edge of the boggy ground known as Alva Moss and to reach the Silver Glen landrover track.
At the top of the landrover track an obvious path strikes off north east uphill to the summit of Ben Buck. However, just before reaching the actual 679m summit the path bears right towards Ben Cleuch. You can include the summit though, and then follow the fence line south and pick up the path again when it joins the fence. Continue upwards alongside the fence to reach another fence with a stile. Cross over this fence and turn left to follow it for 400m to the summit of Ben Cleuch with its view indicator, trig point and shelter cairn.
If you wish to combine an Alva route with a Tillicoultry route to make a circuit, it is easy to walk between the two towns via the Ochils Hills Woodland Park. If you are doing this it is sensible to park in Tillicoultry at Upper Mill Street or use the Woodland Park car park. Parking at Alva Glen will add extra distance to your walk.
The metal pedestrian gate at the zig zags at the foot of the Silver Glen leads into the woodland park. There are two main paths/tracks through the park with the car park being located on the lower one. The junction for the path to Wood Hill described above is on the upper path.


I recently purchased a few metal mini waterline ships and their scale size is 1/1250.
It hasn't been a real easy search process for me on-line through Google. It might be because I'm not using the right verbiage? Nonetheless, I'm not able to locate anyone who sells these individual display cases for these little models. Can someone maybe help with some ideas as to where I can find them for sale?
I do have a preference, yet maybe I shouldn't be picky and just take what I can get? Glass or plexiglass makes no difference to me, yet I'd like the base to be somewhat of nice quality- maybe even wood? I like how some are displayed inside of the case on some kind of a small/short riser. I would really like it to have enough room on the outside/front of it, where I can put a small engraved plate with the ship's name & hull number.
If you can point me in the right direction of a few places, I'd be forever grateful! I prefer to find someone within the US, but do understand the UK, etc. may be my only option too.
Thank you so much in advance for your time & help.
You can go to TAP plastics and have a case made.
The base can just be a nice piece of wood with a ledge for the plexiglass to sit.
Like one piece of wood with a slightly smaller piece of wood glued to the top leaving a ledge for the plexi to sit on.
The posts to hold up the model from the surface can be two brass bushings.
Go to a craft store and look at all of the do-dads they have.
Good luck. And post a photo for us when you finish.

Q: Git checkout all files from exact commit As I know, to get old version of some file I need input:
git checkout COMMIT-HASH -- file-name.ext

But if I wont to get all modified files from some commit? Can I input something like:
git checkout COMMIT-HASH -- *

P.S. I know that I can list files manually, but it's not convenient if there are many files.

A: If I understand what you are asking correctly, I think one of these two will do the job:
git reset --merge <commit>

or
git checkout <commit> -- .

If there are files currently in your working directory that are not in <commit>, they will still be there, which might confuse things, depending on exactly why you want to do this. One alternative to get a clean working tree that is only the contents of <commit> would be this:
rm -r *
git archive --format=tar <commit> | tar xf -

For that matter, you could just empty your worktree before the git reset or git checkout commands above, as well...
None of these will actually move your HEAD, which I think is the effect you are trying to achieve...

A: I believe this SO question may be of use: How to list all the files in a commit?
Basically, to get a listing of the files, you can use git diff-tree:
git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r COMMIT_ID

Once you have that, you can feed it to git checkout:
git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r COMMIT_ID | \
    xargs git checkout COMMIT_ID --

So, the git diff-tree will help get the list of files, and the xargs git checkout COMMIT_ID -- will help reset the affected files back to the state they were in at that commit (you're only rolling back those particular files).
You probably need to do this at the top of your working tree.  Also, I didn't try seeing what would happen if there's a rename involved, so there is likely another edge case you might need to consider.  Spaces in path names could be a problem here too, but I didn't see a way to get the paths in a null-terminated format with git diff-tree.  Perhaps git diff would be better in that case:
git diff --name-only -z COMMIT_ID^ COMMIT_ID | \
    xargs -0 git checkout COMMIT_ID --

Also, if you really want to go back in that way and there's really only one commit that's the issue, perhaps git revert would be a better way to go about it.

A: How about cherry-pick without commit
git cherry-pick COMMIT-HASH --no-commit

A: Just don't pass the filename at all.
git checkout COMMIT-HASH

There are 6 qualities .
Get it in a drop in a battle.
Buy it on auction from another player.
Get it as a donation from another player.
Convert (merge) 3 items of the lower quality to receive one item of a higher quality.
Split an equipment to get 2 equipment of a lower quality.
Get it by inviting people (only armors).
Some missions give random equipment.
Find it while traveling to other region.
The items will be automatically put on auctions by the system.
Q1 armor for inviting 1 player and helping him to reach level 7.
Q2 armor for inviting 2 players and helping them to reach level 7.
Q3 armor for inviting 5 players and helping them to reach level 7.
Q4 armor for inviting 20 players and helping them to reach level 7.
Q5 armor for inviting 100 players and helping them to reach level 7.
Items will be generated and given to players at the end of each battle. The number of drops will depend on the size of the battle.
Chance for free flight increases after time. You won't see effects instantly, you have to wait for 24h.
Economic skill increases after time. You won't see effects instantly, you have to wait for 24h.
Every item will have two random parameters during its creation. Each parameters will have randomized values. An equipment may have double parameters.
Players are able to merge three items of the lower level into one item of the higher level.
Besides normal equipments we have also special sets. They are rare in the game, also merging or splitting may turn them into normal equipment.
Parameters. Each set has it's own rules for parameters, they are always generated randomly but some sets have less parameters. Lucky charm is an exception. It always has parameters chosen from: increase economy skill, chance to avoid damage, chance for free flight, increase critical chance, miss chance reduction.
Merge. The chance to get equipment from special set is +25% for each equipment from this set used in merge. This means that even if you will use equipments from only one special set you have 25% chance to get ordinary equipment.
Split. First equipment from split, the one of same slot, has 75% chances to belong to the same set as the splitted item, second equipment from split has only 25% chance for it. This means that when you are splitting equipment you may get two, one or none equipments from special set.
It was implemented on January (mid) 2013.
Are the items for inviting people be given retrospectively?


Last April, Karen (White) Parman '84 left the flats of Iowa for an adventure of a lifetime. Parman, an 11-year cancer survivor, was one of 14 who traveled to Nepal with Dr. Richard Deming, medical director of Mercy Cancer Center in Des Moines. The group, called Above and Beyond Cancer, went on an 18-day quest to hike 17,600 feet to the base camp of Mount Everest.
"This experience gave me a broader vision of God's kingdom, and it taught me to not let fear hold me back," said Parman. The everyday job, home, and family pressures throughout her years of being cancer free had made her lose sight of the blessings that cancer brings. For her, those blessings included "a deeper compassion for people and a constant awareness to make time count."
Parman graduated from Cedarville with a degree in business management and said that her time at college changed the course of her life. "It was at Cedarville that I realized that I wanted to know God." she said.
God has continued to bless Karen with a loving husband, family, and amazing opportunities such as traveling to Nepal and building life-long relationships with those on her team.
View a video about Karen's courageous climb.
Karen (White) Parman's journey beyond cancer led her to the base camp of Mt. Everest.


This morning saw me getting up at a stupid time for a Sunday so I could get across to Hackney for the start of the Victoria Park 10k. We saw some other people heading to the start when we first got there and I chatted briefly with them.
My first port of call was to go to the portaloo. Turns out that it was a great decision as when I came out quite a queue had formed. Collected my race number and had the usual faff putting it on but then I was all set.
Much like Helen reported last week there was no gun or anything that I could hear just everyone started moving, slightly annoying but still. The course itself was three laps and wonderfully flat. The kilometer markers were clear, and the marshals friendly and encouraging.
My aim was to finish in under an hour. So I was delighted with my time of 57:50. I also managed negative splits all the way round, something I don't think I've ever done before.
Collected my goody bag (there wasn't a medal in mine at first 🙁 I had to go ask for it) and then went back to cheer a lady from my local parkrun over the line. Then we took a nice wander down to Stepney for a well-earned Wetherspoons breakfast.

Briliant time, HUGE well done!
I did laugh at the double shoe lace and pinning numbers comment…I had the exact same at QEOP and when I googled, this race was organised by the same person!
