Many mainstream, major internet sites, along with thousands of smaller ones, were down early Friday morning following a cyberattack on a massive Domain Name System (DNS) host.
Twitter, Spotify, SoundCloud, Reddit, PayPal and numerous other sites reported being down this morning. Twitter especially seems to have ongoing issues and won't load for many. Walgreens and countless others are down but it's unclear just how many major websites have been affected. We will keep this list updated.
Dyn, a company that hosts domain name systems, announced that they have been the subject of a cyberattack that caused major problems for countless websites. Hackers unleashed a large distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the servers of Dyn.
An attack began at roughly 7 am EST. and Dyn was able to resolve the issue within a few hours, but at 11:52 pm EST. the company said that they were being hacked again. After the second attack, numerous sites such as Twitter reported problems.
Dyn released this statement earlier this morning.
DNS takes the text URL that is typed into a browser and then pings the information to several servers to get the person to the correct website.
DDoS stands for "distributed denial of service" and is a common tactic used by hackers to take down internet-connected servers. Massive amounts of traffic is sent to servers, effectively denying other users to enter those servers.
It is unclear who was responsible for the attack on Dyn.

Q: How to get the count of digits after the comma of a double-number in VB.NET? Examples:
Double-Number is 56.6789 result should be 4
Double-Number is 12345.67  result should be 2
Double-Number is 12345.6  result should be 1
I have a solution tinkering with strings, but I think there is an mathematical solution?
Please in VB.NET ...

A: Split the original number and get the length of the upper index (1)
myNumber = 12.3456

Dim count As Integer = Len(Split(CStr(myNumber), Application.DecimalSeparator)(1))

Debug.Print count // prints '4'

edit: replaced "." with decimal separator to ensure use across varying cultures

A: You can try like this:
Dim x As String = CStr(56.6789)
Dim count = x.Length - InStr(x, ".")

A: One way to do it is to keep knocking off the whole part, multiplying by 10, repeat until you have an integer:
Dim x As Double = 1.23456
Dim count As Integer = 0
While Math.Floor(x) <> x
    x = (x - Math.Floor(x)) * 10D
    count = count + 1
End While

Note this will fail if there is an infinite number of decimal places - so you could set a limit on it (If count > 100 Then Exit While)
Another way would be like this, which converts to a string but removes the need to hardcode the separator.
Dim x As Double = 1.23456
Dim x0 As Double = x - Math.Floor(x)
Dim x0String As String = x0.ToString()
Dim count As Integer = x0String.Substring(2, x0String.Length - 2).Length

Using Application.DecimalSeparator also allows a string to be used.
The method with a string will again lose information about an infinite-length fractional part, as it will truncate it.

The intuitive controls let you easily select from four cycle options and an additional four temperature selections to make sure your clothes are always taken care of. The beautiful, clean design fits into any home and with venting capability of up to 120 ft. this unit provides flexible installation anywhere.


ideabox, based in Salem, Oregon, is a prefab housing design studio that builds modular homes that are energy efficient and affordable, and designed to be "lively yet relaxing, small yet big, warm yet cool and most of all simply fun".
Where Project Frog, another prefab design studio, designs for larger buildings like schools and stores, ideabox focuses on compact homes ranging from the minibox at 200 ft2 (~20m2) to the confluence 3 at 1470 ft2 (150m2).
The "northwest", the house that started ideabox, proves that "small footprint living by ideabox can be a pretty big thing".
ideabox offers a "design phase" with each customer to assist on everything from placement of the home and necessary permits to customizing the size and style of the house. The home arrives prefabricated in one or two pieces – prefabrication allows less material waste and less energy consumption than building on-site.
Moreover, ideabox houses are designed for ultimate energy efficiency – including Energy Star appliances, LED light-fixtures, and water efficient pipes.
ideabox recently partnered with IKEA to present the aktiv, a new line of houses designed by ideabox around IKEA systems – 745 ft2 (76m2) for ~$86,500.
The "aktiv" house, a joint project by ideabox and IKEA.
ideabox is partnering with Even Construction (floating home builder) and Mike Foote (experience residential developer) to create modern prefab floating homes.
Like the ReVolt house, a solar-powered floating home, ideabox's drift series will be important for the development of floating communities that we are seeing in the Netherlands and coastal areas.
Since the recession, small houses are making a comeback, especially for young couples who not only are trying to save money, but are interested in reducing their carbon footprint.
ideabox is also targeting retired seniors who are looking to downsize in space with its resort-inspired "micro neighborhood", a pilot called Cottages@Camelot which is being launched in Eugene, Oregon.
ideabox was launched in 2006, and has since sold 30 houses.

There are a lot of reasons to eat local. Your food is fresh, you know where it's coming from, and you know you're supporting local growers.
But locally grown food does even more to support our community. Locally grown and produced food is a vital part of both food security and economic security—it provides nourishment for community members who need it, as well as income for small growers.
When we invest in local food, that money stays within the local economy and recirculates, creating and sustaining jobs. In fact, due to something called the "multiplier effect," every $1 spent on local food generates $1.87 in local economic activity. If Southern Arizonans shifted just $5 of their existing spending toward local food, it would generate an additional $287 million a year in income to local farms and small growers.
We can lead the way to food security and food justice—and it starts with investing in our local food economy.
And there's more—investing in our local food economy also supports food justice and justice for our local environment. We believe in food grown using fair labor practices and sustainable environmental practices. Local food production in Southern Arizona often involves desert-adapted crop varieties (low water-use crops) and environmentally sustainable methods—which makes it a stable, resilient food source amid global climate and price changes.
Building a healthy, hunger-free community is about more than feeding the hungry today. We can lead the way to food security and food justice—and it starts with investing in our local food economy.

When searching for candidates to fill middle-to-senior level management roles, some positions are easier than others to find. We previously revealed the results of a Criterion survey listing the most difficult positions to fill, which included those in IT, marketing, operations and R&D. Now it's time to list some of the easiest. Once again, our survey was conducted directly with businesses – so the results reflect the real experiences of those out in the field.
It should be no surprise that the job position at the top of the list is less technical than some of the others. There is every reason why sales specialists should be easiest to find – starting with the fact that any good salesperson ought to be able to sell themselves as a good investment for a company to make.
The instincts and simple human insight that sales positions require may be relatively common compared to other skills needed in business, but they are no less important for that. Businesses may be the best at producing their widgets, but in order to turn those private victories into public ones, they need sales expertise to finally get off the ground and connect with their true audiences.
Joining sales roles at the top of our list is the position of production manager. Production is at the heart of any business, and it takes a knowledgeable and versatile leader, often with a background in engineering or a related field, to manage the manufacturing side of any business.
Having the right people skills here is just as important as in sales, as the workforce on a production floor should resemble something like a machine with smoothly interlocking parts. Assembling, motivating, and coordinating an effective team requires a set of interpersonal skills, just as surely as production itself requires a familiarity with the materials in a factory.
Monitoring the workforce at any given company is the human resources manager, which also made our list of the managerial positions that are easiest for companies to fill. This position also requires a talent for interpersonal success, but it must be joined by a separate talent for evaluation and organization.
An effective human resources manager will need to understand the legal responsibilities of their company, the compensation rights of its employees, and the right approach to take as a liaison between the workforce and the upper management. HR managers must be impartial in evaluating complaints and other workforce issues, as well as in hiring new staff for the company.
Rounding out our list of the easiest middle-to-senior level positions to fill is administration management. The right candidates must have a talent for streamlining work systems within a business environment, as well as training other personnel in the proper function of systems in use.
There is a heavy organizational component to the admin manager's role, in terms of delegating responsibilities across the workforce and ensuring that proper training and procedures are in place to make the effort successful. Admin managers must also be willing to take a detached role in assessing the performance of the team they are in charge of overseeing.
While qualified candidates for the above roles may be easier to find, the roles themselves are not easy to succeed in. Candidates should always aim to improve their skills, as the strong competition for roles means that only the best will be selected. For their part, companies seeking to find the most highly qualified in the candidate pool would be well advised to take on the services of a recruitment agency for the purpose.

Embraer Welcomes Brazil\'s Filing of its First Written Submission Challenging Canada\'s Subsidies to Bombardier
SAO PAULO, Dec. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer welcomes Brazil's filing today of its First Written Submission to the dispute settlement panel at the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Geneva. The Panel is examining more than USD 4 billion in subsidies that Bombardier received from the Governments of Canada and Quebec. In 2016 alone, these governments provided over USD 2.5 billion to the Canadian aircraft manufacturer.
The Submission provides detailed legal and factual argument regarding why the 19 subsidies to Bombardier for its C-Series aircraft (now renamed as the Airbus A-220 aircraft) are inconsistent with Canada's WTO obligations. The Brazilian Government's understanding, shared by Embraer, is that the Canadian Government's subsidies to Bombardier violate these obligations.
"We appreciate the Brazilian government's efforts in preparing this important submission to the WTO today," said Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer's President & CEO. "Canada's subsidies have allowed Bombardier (and now Airbus) to offer its aircraft at artificially low prices. These subsidies, which have been fundamental in the development and survival of the C-Series program, are an unsustainable practice that distorts the entire global market, harming competitors at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. Embraer considers that this proceeding will help to restore a level playing field and ensure that competition in the commercial aircraft market is between companies, not governments."
After multiple attempts to resolve the issue at the diplomatic level, the Brazilian Government initiated dispute settlement proceedings against Canada at the WTO.
In December 2016, the Council of Ministers of the Brazilian Foreign Trade Chamber (CAMEX) authorized the opening of dispute settlement proceedings against Canada. In February 2017, Brazil formally requested consultations with the Canadian Government at the WTO, and because consultations were unable to resolve the dispute, the Panel was formally established in September 2017.
More details about Brazil's First Written Submission are available in this link: http://www.itamaraty.gov.br/images/2018/Fact-Sheet-Embraer.pdf

LDDS-Metro Communications, Inc. - Company Profile, Information, Business Description, History, Background Information on LDDS-Metro Communications, Inc.
History of LDDS-Metro Communications, Inc.
LDDS-Metro Communications is America's fourth-largest telephone company, behind AT & T, MCI Communications Corp., and United Telecommunicaitons Inc.'s Sprint. The long-distance provider emerged from a massive pack of third-tier telephone companies through a strategy of acquisitions in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
LDDS provides long-distance service to small- to medium-sized business and commercial customers. The company's profitability depends on its ability to realize line costs per minute that are less than revenues per minute. Line costs per minute include two elements, access charges and transport charges. Access charges are the costs that local exchange carriers (LECs), commonly known as "Baby Bells," impose for the privilege of originating and terminating calls. they constitute the bulk of LDDS's line costs. The remainder, in the form of transport charges, include the cost of transmitting calls between or within local access transport areas (LATAs).
Long Distance Discount Services, Inc. was formed in 1983 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, when the breakup of AT & T enabled thousands of competitors to start reselling long-distance telephone service to individual and business customers. Bill Fields convinced several investors to lease a local Bell system Wide-Area Telecommunications Service (WATS) line and resell time on the line to businesses. Long-distance resellers like LDDS bought time from regional Bell companies in volume and sold it, often at a discount, to business customers. LDDS owned the switches, or nodes, of its network, and leased the lines from local providers. The sophisticated long-distance technology was designed to handle a high volume of calls. Some observers compared the long-distance telephone industry to the airline industry: there was a fixed cost for getting calls or seats from one place to another, and the more customers a telecommunications company or airline had, the lower its costs would be. Price competition among these companies was ruthless. Assuming that the "Baby Bells" would continue to lease the lines at a fixed rate, Fields signed up 200 customers. But when Bell started raising the charges for the use of the lines, LDDS began to lose money.
By the early months of 1985, the fledgling business was losing &Dollar;25,000 each month. It became clear to Fields that he was failing at the day-to-day management of LDDS, and he first tried to sell the company. Later in 1985, several owners signed LDDS over to Bernard Ebbers, one of the initial investors. By the time Ebbers became president and chief executive officer, LDDS was &Dollar;1.5 million in debt.
Ebbers was a Canadian who came to the United States on a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. After graduation he became a high school baseball coach. He later worked in the garment trade as a distributor, but lost interest in the low-margin industry. Ebbers seized the chance to buy a 40-room motel in Columbia, Mississippi, in the 1970s, borrowing the necessary money to establish himself in the business. In the real estate market of the late 1970s, the value of prime properties could double over the course of five years. Ebbers parlayed his one hotel into 12 by the early 1980s, garnering health operating and asset gains.
As head of LDDS, Ebbers worked to control costs. He kept overhead low with lean operations and unpretentious offices. The streamlined LDDS brought on new clients with a claim of customer service that larger long-distance companies could not offer. LDDS did not use telemarketing to solicit new business, but mobilized a direct sales force to make personal contacts. After the initial face-to-face solicitation, LDDS made monthly, and sometimes weekly, office calls to ensure that the customers service was satisfactory. The company provided an alternative to the major long-distance carriers' across-the-board packages by tailoring service to each customer's calling patterns, which simultaneously maximized routing efficiency and cut costs. The major long-distance carriers at this time were also exerting a great deal of effort to secure big-ticket clients; LDDS was able to take advantage of this by concentrating on small business customers who were falling through the cracks.
Within six months of Ebbers' move into the driver's seat, the company had moved into the black. In 1986 revenue rose to &Dollar;8.6 million, and a year later, sales had grown to &Dollar;18 million. By 1988 annual revenues had skyrocketed to &Dollar;95 million. Consolidation and acquisitions were the principal factors that enabled LDDS to accomplish this rapid growth during the last five years of the 1980s. The ocmpany leveraged its assets in order to buy other third-tier long-distance companies, including: Telesphere Network, Inc. (1987; Com-Link 21, Inc. (1988); Com-Link 21, Inc. of Tennessee (1988); Telephone Management Corporation (1988); and Inter-Comm Telephone Inc. (1989). The acquisitions cost the company a total of &Dollar;34.87 million, but expanded LDDS's geographic network to include Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Texas, and Alabama.
Each company LDDS assumed control of performed better after acquisition. Part of the success was attributed to the LDDS standards of customer service, but the economies of scale gained when more companies came on line also brought higher profitability. LDDS applied its customer service ideals to new acquisitions through a decentralized system wherein each state office set its own sales goals. Companies in the system formulated their own marketing strategies in response to local market conditions.
LDDS's annual earnings grew from &Dollar;641,000 in 1986 to more than &Dollar;4.5 million in 1989. That same year the company merged with 17-year-old, Nashville-based, Advantage Company, a public company that was losing money when the two consolidated. The merger benefited both companies--it enabled LDDS to reduce its debt and finance future purchases through stock offers, and it brought Advantage into profitability. By the end of that year, LDDS' revenue-per-employee stood at &Dollar;360,000, more than double the industry average, and triple that of some of LDDS's higher-priced competitors. LDDS also pursued other avenues to spur growth. Its 14 percent annual internal growth rate was fueled by thorough infiltration of its growing markets.
Despite the economic downturn of the early 1990s, LDDS continued its upward climb. The long-distance telephone business was not adversely affected by the economic climate, as the telephone had long since established itself as an indispensable part of the business world. In fact, LDDS made two acquisitions that year, purchasing Mercury, Inc., for &Dollar;10.3 million and Tele-Marketing Corporation of Louisiana for &Dollar;15.5 million. Despite the recession, LDDS' 1990 profit was &Dollar;9.8 million, ten times its 1986 total. Sales had grown sixteenfold in that same time span.
LDDS made three acquisitions in 1991, using cash, stock, and bank debt to finance purchases that totaled &Dollar;90 million. National Telecommunications of Austin was purchased with a combination of &Dollar;27 million in cash and stock. The acquisition of Phone America of Carolina established an LDDS presence in North and South Carolina and eastern Tennessee. These two companies had combined annual revenues of &Dollar;51 million. LDDS also made its largest acquisition up to that time with the purchase of MidAmerican Communications Corporation. MidAmerican provided long-distance service to Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The acquisitions enabled LDDS to increase its sales by 71 percent over 1990 to &Dollar;263.41 million.
Between 1983 and 1991, LDDS spent more than &Dollar;200 million to purchase about 24 smaller companies. The additions brought the LDDS network to 27 states, a system that excluded only the Northeast and Northwest. The downside of all this growth was that it left the company with &Dollar;165 million in long-term debt, and a negative net worth.
At about the same time, AT & T started trying aggressively to win back customers of all sizes. Despite its dramatic success, LDDS and other third-tier long-distance companies had only captured about one percent of the total long-distance market at this point. In the 1990s the big three telecommunications companies aimed for the small- and medium-sized businesses they had previously neglected.
LDDS did not stand idly by, however. In 1992 LDDS acquired Shared Use Network Systems, Inc.; Automated Communications, Inc.; Prime Telecommunications Corporation; TFN Group Communications, Inc.; and Telemarketing Investments, Ltd. These companies, combined, expanded LDDS service in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia. The new affiliates filled in LDDS's service network and brought a total of &Dollar;66 million in annual revenues. But a much more important development for the company in 1992 was its merger with Advanced telecommunications Corporation. The Atlanta-based company had &Dollar;350 million in annual sales spread over a network of 26 southern states. The merger increased LDDS's annual revenues by 30 percent to &Dollar;801 million in 1992. Although merger-related expenses caused LDDS to take a loss of &Dollar;8 million for the year, the company expected to realize significant cost savings, increased opportunities for acquisitions, and a wider variety of products with the consolidation. Cost savings were achieved through LDDS's ever-enlarging networks, which produced a situation where a larger percentage of the company's calls originated and terminated within its service area. Therefore, more calls stayed on the network of low-cost transmission facilities that were owned or leased by LDDS. And, of course, increased volume lowered the per-minute costs.
LDDS had dodged rumors and predictions of imminent takeover almost since its inception; in an effort to put to rest such speculation, in 1993 the company announced an agreement to merge with Metromedia Communications Corporation (MCC) of East Rutherford, New Jersey, and Resurgens Communications Group, Inc. of Atlanta. The agreement stipulated that LDDS shareholders would collect about 68.5 percent of the fully diluted equity of the combined company, while MCC and Resurgens shareholders secured the remainder. LDDS issued 19 million new common shares in conjunction with the merger and made a private placement of &Dollar;50 million in convertible preferred stock.
The merger extended LDDS's network to include all 48 mainland states, and company executives projected that the new entity, renamed LDDS-Metro Communications, Inc., would achieve annual revenues of &Dollar;1.5 million in 1993. LDDS moved into a new headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, in May 1993. The company planned to continue its growth strategy of strong internal progress and selective acquisition and consolidation of other third-tier telecommunications companies.

It has been a hard pull all summer working seven days a week to get the 150 Case assembled and the final parts cast and machined. I was blessed with a great team to help get the job done and a number of friends who came out to help as needed.
We lit the first match on 8/18/18 and fired it for four days running, testing, and breaking in the engine and gearing.
We belted to the Baker Fan on the small pulley to get the most load we could on it. Even pulling the fan as fast as the 8" belt would hold, we calculated over 100 HP and we still could not hear the engine exhaust. The engine ran perfectly, we didn't have trouble with any bearings heating and the valve setting was spot on.
We drove around to break in the mesh on all the large open gear teeth, this will be the longest part of the break in process to get all the additional gears for the two speed wore in good.
RDO Equipment offered to haul it home for us donating their time and equipment to support in the project. Mark Davidson who has hauled for John Deere for over 40 years showed up on 8/21/18 and we got the engine loaded that evening while still under steam. The morning of 8/22/18 the 150 Case headed down the road for the first time to make it home in Andover, SD ready to go to work!
It is still incomprehensible the size of this engine. After working on it everyday you become immersed in the size of it, once in a while I would have to go to Gary Bradley's engine shed and stand beside the 110 Case (which seems small in comparison) to get back to real perspective.

The U.S. space agency has its eyes on the future - not just future missions, but the scientists who will plan and carry out those missions. At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center outside Washington, a summer internship gives college, post-graduate and high school students a chance to work on projects in a variety of space-related fields. In return, these interns bring enthusiasm and a fresh perspective.
Interacting with his mentor and the other interns gave him a better understanding of what he needs in order to pursue a career in this field - a solid background in computer science.
That sort of transformative experience is a big part of the NASA internship, says Rick Obenschain, Goddard's deputy director.
"You train somebody here, you give them experiences, you give them enthusiasm, and they're going to take it with them, whether they stay within NASA or stay in the government or in the industry," he said.
Obenschain stayed with NASA. He was an intern in 1962, a few years after the space flight center opened in Greenbelt, Maryland.
NASA's intern programs are crucial to preparing the future workforce, says Robert Gabrys, director of the agency's Office of Education.
The scientists, engineers and technologists at Goddard write descriptions of the projects they want interns to work on, and students apply for the ones that interest them. That helps the researchers identify which students would be the best match for their projects.
Joseph Santanello, who also started his NASA career as an intern, says the students are an invaluable addition to the work environment.
"We get a fresh perspective on how we're working here, what we're working on, not just the science part, but generally, how we interact with the community," he said.
Intern Patricia Lawston has been working with him for the past three summers. She says the internship has been an excellent experience as she pursues a doctorate in climatology.
That ongoing mentoring and collaboration helps the scientists, the students, and the U.S. space program.


A carpet adds beauty and coziness to your home. It allows you to walk barefoot by protecting you from the cold that comes from the floor. You need to therefore, keep it clean. Dirt and stains are inevitable and if not washed can pose a health danger to you and your loved ones. When the dirt accumulates, it becomes difficult for you to hide or ignore it. However don't be quick to call for carpet cleaning services when you can do the cleaning yourself. You can clean your carpet by hand and save yourself the cost of paying professional cleaners. Here is a step by step guide on how you can wash your carpet without using a machine.
The first thing you need to do is to move your furniture to another room. Furniture will give you a lot of distractions when you are cleaning your carpet. Hence, to allow enough space, you need to move them out. For heavy furniture that cannot be removed, place plastics under their legs to protect it from being damaged by water. Also check to pick up any toys, papers or other objects too.
Sweep the carpet to loosen dirt. Sometimes particles may accumulate into the carpet fibers. To loosen the dirt particles, you need to sweep your carpet. Sweeping will give you a much easier time as it helps in reducing the dirt.
It may be harder to sweep away loose dirt and pet hair. Hence you need to vacuum to ensure that all dirt is removed before starting to use water on your carpet. Also, remember to vacuum the edges and the baseboards as they tend to collect dirt. Vacuum horizontally and vertically since carpet fibers are twisted and going both directions will ensure you reach every part of the fiber.
Fill your bucket with water and white vinegar in equal ratio. Add also a mild dish soap that does not bleach then mix the solution. The soap is for forming a foam that will make your work easier and the white vinegar is used to remove stains. You don't need to worry about the smell of vinegar as it will go away after airing the carpet. Also, it is advisable that you use laundry soap and do not apply it directly on the carpet.
Time to get your hands dirty. You can either use the sponge or a brush to clean your carpet. Dip your sponge or your scrub brush into the bucket and start scrubbing the carpet using the cleaning solution. Remember the aim is not to get the carpet saturated but just a little wet. Therefore use enough of the mixture on the scrub brush. Work in small sections that are manageable as otherwise your carpet may not be adequately cleaned.
Once you are satisfied with the scrubbing, vacuum the carpet again. You can use either wet or dry vacuum. Vacuuming at this stage helps in picking up excess water and foam so that rinsing may be easy.
Empty the bucket and fill with clean water. Dip a rag or a cloth towel and ring it out. Then start to scrub the carpet again still doing small sections at a time. Repeat this till all the foam is picked out of the carpet.
Let the carpet dry. You can open the windows and doors to help air circulate the room for quick drying. Or you can also use a floor fan to encourage fast drying. You may also choose to use an air conditioner, dryers, and air movers. It may take between 6-12 hours for your carpet to dry and during this period do not walk on it.
When the carpet is lightly damp, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over it. Baking soda will help in moisture absorption and removal of odors. Then use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum up the baking soda advisably in the morning.
Stubborn stains will require more than just a brush and vacuuming to get out of the carpet. If you are not planning to call a professional carpet cleaning company, you need to know how to remove different kinds of stains.
Rubbing causes the stain particles to be embedded into the carpet fibers resulting into a breakdown of those fibers. Blotting soaks up the stains.
Rub glycerin into the dry stain and leave for the night then wash it with soapy water.
Shaving cream is the best stain remover for all kinds of stains. Apply the shaving cream on the stain, allow it to set and blot it away using a dry white cloth.
Freeze the gum with ice cubes for some seconds then lift up the glob using a spoon and after cut the strands of the carpet close to the gum.
Apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the stain after you have loosened the dried blood with warm water. Then blot the hydrogen peroxide with towels to dry the carpet.
Carpet cleaning helps the carpet to look fresh and new always. Make it a habit to clean your carpet regularly to keep your family from diseases and your pets clean. When trying a new cleaning product remember first to test it on a small area. You can always contact a professional carpet cleaner if you are having doubts about cleaning your carpet.

Esports is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and has brought with it a range of new terms. In this glossary, we cover some of the most common terms used in esports, identify the different game genres in esports, and list some of the most popular esports titles.
Tracing its origin back to Spacewar! (1962), the first widely-recognised and referenced esports event took place at Stanford University in 1972 with 24 players competing for a subscription to Rolling Stone magazine.
Esports began to enter the mainstream in the 1990s with Street Fighter, Quake, Counter-Strike, and StarCraft becoming the staple for LAN (Local Area Network) competitions across North America, Europe, and Asia.
StarCraft, in particular, experienced massive popularity in South Korea, becoming the first esports title to have a dedicated ecosystem that broadcast the game's competitions on South Korean TV.
The top three most popular esports titles as of 2021 are League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), and DOTA 2.
Take a deep dive into MOBA and FPS terms
In esports, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) and First-Person Shooter (FPS) are the two genres in which you'll find the most popular esports titles. If you would like to discover terms that are unique to the MOBA or FPS genre, find our glossary of terms for both here:

Ahead of the RBI monetary policy review, the crucial eight-industry sector data has portrayed a positive picture on the growth front for June after a subdued index of industrial production numbers in May.
Core sector growth rose to a seven-month high of 6.7 percent in June due to double-digit expansion in coal, cement and refinery products.
On the other hand, crude oil and natural gas continued to contract. The eight infrastructure sectors of coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertilizers, steel, cement, and electricity, constitute 40.27% of the total industrial production.


What are my options if I have no down payment, or only a small down payment?
Some loans will do 100% financing. FHA loans only require 3.5% down. No matter which of these types of loans you obtain, the payment will be larger, your interest rate will probably be higher, and you will be required to buy private mortgage insurance (PMI).
What is private mortgage insurance (PMI)? Do I have to pay it?
Private mortgage insurance is required if you owe more than 80% on your house. This insurance protects the lender if you cannot make your payments. When you default on the loan, the insurance company pays the debt. The cost is added onto your loan, and will be approximately an additional one half percent.
What kinds of government loans are available to buyers?
HUD (US Department of Housing and Urban Development) is committed to increasing home ownership for minorities and low-income Americans. It oversees the FHA (Federal Housing Commission) offering a variety of programs, including 203(K) loans to purchase a home that needs fixing up, financing for FHA-insured homes that have been acquired through foreclosure, and other FHA-insured loans. HUD has many programs to help in housing needs.
FHA loans (offered by the Federal Housing Commission) are the most popular. They don't actually make the loan; they guarantee loans requiring only a 3.5% down payment, and they do not have as strict credit policies as many conventional loans.
VA (Veteran's Administration) loans are really guarantees for loans obtained by certain qualified veterans or other qualifying home buyers or refinancers such as unmarried surviving spouses.
What is the difference between a fixed rate mortgage (FRM) and an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM)?
A fixed rate mortgage has a set interest rate for the life of the loan. An adjustable rate mortgage has a specified adjusting period where the rate can be adjusted along with the payment.
Credit Report Fee: a fee for the lender to obtain your credit report from one of the three recognized credit reporting bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian). This report gives your credit history and a credit score which is used to determine qualifications and loan limits.
Escrow Accounts: (generally required) escrows for future fees that will be due related to the house, such as: Private Mortgage Insurance (required for loans financed at over 80% of value), Homeowner's Insurance (often called "Hazard" or "Fire Insurance"), property taxes, and sometimes, interest.
Is there any way to speed up the loan approval process?
Becoming either pre-qualified (a preliminary analysis of your debt-to-income ratio), pre-approved (NOT a loan guarantee-but analysis of credit report and income and a correlating maximum loan amount and interest options), or obtaining a loan commitment (guaranteed under pre-set conditions) will help speed up the loan process. Pre-qualifications indicate that you are a more solid buyer. However, only a loan commitment is a guarantee that you will get the loan.
Another way to help speed up the loan approval process is to get your paperwork ready in advance.
Check your credit score and clean up any old items. Have explanations for any remaining questions on your credit report.
Gather any needed documentation such as personal identification, income verification and tax returns, employment history, and insurance commitments.
And, most important, when the loan officer asks for any information, always respond promptly.
What is the difference between a mortgage broker, a lender, and a loan officer?
A mortgage broker covers a broad basis, linking buyers with appropriate lenders, counseling borrowers, and even processing loans.
A lender is the institution or agency that will actually loan the money.
A loan officer is an employee of either a lender or a mortgage broker, generally finding borrowers, counseling, taking applications, and often, being involved in the loan processing.
What documents will be required to close a loan?
Is it more expensive to rent or to own?
Why do I need to check my credit prior to buying a house?
The lender will obtain a credit report. If you look at it prior to a loan application, you have a chance to clean up detrimental items before you have to explain them to the lender. Also, if your score is low, you can do specific things to increase your score such as paying down debt, increasing cash in the bank, and making payments consistently on time, over a period of time.
Where do the names Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (loan regulating entities) originate?
The Fannie Mae entity was created in 1938 under President Franklin D. Roosevelt to help the home buying economy which was floundering at that time. In 1968, Freddie Mac was chartered to provide competition. These are not government funded entities, only government sponsored, with the idea of creating national standards and guidelines to ensure a long-term healthy housing market.
They operate by borrowing foreign, low-interest money that, in turn, allows them to provide local banks with money to offer affordable housing loans. Together these two entities control about 90% of the secondary mortgage market.
Points are a fee that is expressed as a percentage of the loan amount: one point is 1% of the loan amount.
Origination points are charged as a fee for some of the costs of the loan processing.
Discount points are basically a prepaid interest, or a fee to reduce the interest rate, known as a rate "buy down."

Q: Programmatically (in C#) get java application name from javaw.exe process? Is there a way to get name of the java app associated with a javaw.exe?  Basically I need to write a tool, to check (daily) if a specific java app is running on our server (and if not the tool will email me).
I would like to do this in C#...but if there isn't a way I would be open to other suggestions.
I have read this question 265794 but that is more about modifying the java app itself...do all java app's really appear as javaw.ex, unless 'wrapped'??

A: Check out jps. That will list the VMs running on your system, and identify the jar file or class invoked.

A: I've used the following function to find a java program by passing in identifying command line arguments like the path to the java executable and the class called and maybe a jar name or a property definition or two just to be sure. Once you have a process id, it is simple to create a Process using Process.GetProcessByValue(id) but you don't need that for your code, just check the returned id.HasValue.
/// <summary>
/// Return the first process id with matching values in the command line.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args">
/// Values in the command line to match (case insensitive).
/// </param>
/// <returns>
/// The process id of the first matching process found; null on no match.
/// </returns>
public static int? ProcessIdOf(params string[] args)
{
    using (var mos = new ManagementObjectSearcher(
        "SELECT ProcessId,CommandLine FROM Win32_Process"))
    {
        foreach (ManagementObject mo in mos.Get())
        {
            var commandLine = (string)mo["CommandLine"] ?? string.Empty;
            for (int i = 0;; ++i)
            {
                if (i == args.Length)
                {
                    return int.Parse(mo["ProcessId"].ToString());
                }

                if (commandLine.IndexOf(
                       args[i],
                       StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) == -1)
                {
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return null;
}

Some oddities in this code - I don't use the SELECT x,y FROM z WHERE y LIKE "%z%" construct because I didn't want to bother dealing with escape characters. Also, I don't really know what type a ProcessId is so I just cast it to a string and parse it as an int - I think I tried to do an unchecked cast to int and that threw an exception (from here it is supposed to be a uin32). The code above works.

A: Well, the main class gets passed to javaw as a command line parameter, right? So if you use the info in this SO post, you should be able to find out what it's running.

A: You can find the list of running java applications under this folder:
system-temp-folder/hsperfdata_user
where system-temp-folder is the path to your system temp folder and user is the user that run the process. When a java process starts, it creates a file in that folder with the process-id as the name of the file. Each files containes binary data (including process name, i think). However, I think this is hard to read that binary file in C#. To find the process name you have two different solutions:
First, you can use C# and system calls to find the process name (I don't know how you can do that in C#)
Second, if you have access to a jdk folder, you may run jps and get the output. Actually, jps reads the files I have already mentioned and writes some human readable data to console.

A: I agree with mheyman
I have modified a little his code
using (var mos = new ManagementObjectSearcher(
        "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process"))
I used "select *"

Disclaimer: This may not actually be Moroccan, but I think it sort of is…? Anyway, it was good. Don't tell Chef Karim.
The following measurements are approximations, not science.
Saute onion, garlic, spices, and veggies in olive oil over medium heat until onion is softened. Add remaining ingredients and simmer until veggies are tender. This is best when the flavors can meld for a few hours, so make it early, cover and let it sit until ready to reheat for dinner. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
Serve with flatbread (they have a good one at Trader Joe's) toasted with butter, garlic, and cilantro.
Turmeric is great for your memory. I read somewhere that researchers think it's the reason people in India don't get Alzheimer's Disease. PLUS, it makes things a cool yellow color.


I bought my cane from Mark Shuey two years ago, this month. I have carried it everywhere I go, every day since I've had it, and it's become my favorite possession. I'm 71 years old, and in pretty good condition. I do have neuropathy in my feet, which causes occasional balance problems. Carrying the cane, particularly around my condo, has helped me maintain my balance when I may have fallen without it.
I refer to the cane as a "multi-purpose assistive device," since it assists ambulation, can be used in self-defense, and is, in my case, my sole form of exercise. I purchased a few of Mark's videos, and practice about one hour daily in the warm-ups and defensive moves he demonstrates. I also use the cane for isometric exercise during my workouts.
I bought the cane primarily for self-defense, after seeing an increase of reported violent attacks on riders of the D.C. subway system. As long as I don't put the cane tip on the ground, so I don't look like I'm carrying it for ambulatory support, it's interesting how people on the street respond. I'm unobtrusive with it, but some folks cross the street, and many smile. In any event, I think carrying this cane brings out the best in others I encounter on the sidewalks.
I'd be happy to respond to questions that people might have on my experiences. You can Google me; I'm not hard to find.
Received my Grand Master Cane today and I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with it. The detailed work is beautiful and the finish well done.
It feels like an extension of my arm and is a pleasure to use. I will order again from Canemasters.
The facilities are comfortable with a wide range of workout and cane specific equipment. The staff and instructors, especially Grand Master Shuey, are always available and flexible to changes in student workout requirements. Everyone is very supportive in students efforts successful or otherwise. There is also a feeling of personal contact with students. The location is centrally located in Incline Village, close to shopping and services. Master Shuey has a dome reflection and ticker output second to none. My attitude is improving with time and training with Cane Masters too. Since I started, my balance has greatly improved; my training has helped with my skiing and my overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Grand Master Shuey's teaching and methods to anyone looking to improve themselves.
Through three of the company's videos, I am learning to use my canes for self-defense and exercise. I think this is the first time I have enjoyed an exercise video, although I have used a variety of them. Because I have several chronic illnesses that cause pain and fatigue, I often end an exercise session with more pain than I had at the start. However, after using a Cane Masters video, I feel better instead of worse. Grand Master Shuey demonstrates the techniques clearly, with a calm, professional, and cheerful demeanor. Although the videos begin with moves that are not strenuous for me and that are relatively simple, Grand Master Shuey explains how a person can intensify the workout using stretch therapy bands with greater resistance. I had only been using a cane for two weeks when I learned about Cane Masters, its hand-crafted canes, and its training programs. Instead of having stress from getting used to carrying and using a cane, I have had the positive and very happy experience of obtaining two beautiful canes that I love to carry and use. I also have videos that are teaching me self-defense techniques and providing exercise and therapy that are key components in my health treatment plan. It's so good to meet people whose objective is making life better for others. I'm thankful that Cane Masters is having a positive effect on mine.
I am a North American Special Operations combatives instructor and writing to thank you not only for an excellent product but phenomenal service. I have used your canes and promoted them for a number of years for some very specific training applications. In my opinion they are the best out there. On a recent order you dropped everything to customize to my needs and it was done in short order. Thank you. I have trained personally a professional who in plain clothes used one of your canes to successfully extract themselves from a very dangerous situation against an armed attacker. The Shark Teeth are a great design. Thanks for an excellent product.
As senior citizens, we find the Cane Masters instructional series to be very clear and educational. The cane exercises help with our overall fitness, mobility and balance. The self-defense techniques give us confidence in our abilities to protect ourselves and to avoid being victims. We proudly carry our Cane masters customized canes everywhere, and we are constantly urging our friends to learn cane self-defense also. We recently traveled to Incline Village, NV to take Cane Master training from Grandmaster Mark Shuey. Not only did we have a grand vacation at Lake Tahoe, but we also received wonderful instruction from GM Shuey in how to use our canes for better exercise and practical self defense. He is a wonderful, patient teacher. We now have much more self confidence that we can protect ourselves; we are getting in much better shape; and we are very proud to carry the beautiful canes that GM Shuey handcrafted for us. We strongly recommend that you consider a trip to GM Shuey's training facility for lessons in the American Cane System. You will be very glad you did.

Kev pleads for Shaun to hang on
Last updated : 05 January 2005 By Ben Collins
Shaun's performance at Arsenal last night, which included another wonder goal, has intensified speculation that the England international is about to be prised away from the Blues.
Keegan even admits that Wright-Phillips will have to leave City eventually, and that the club would have to let him go if the right bid came in this January, but the City boss believes a move now could be too soon for him.
"He's 23 now and I don't think it would do him any harm to stay at Manchester City for another year or two," said Keegan.
"I went to Hamburg when I was 27 and was at my peak. Too many players have moved on too early and, when they have hit certain barriers, they haven't had either the maturity or the experience to get through them.
"Of course, every club wants Shaun - we know that - and it may well be that an offer comes in that is so big this club can't turn it down. But I would still fight that every bit of the way.
"I'm here for another 18 months, and I hope that Shaun will stay to help us build something at Manchester City. He's loved at City. He can't achieve all his ambitions with us, we know that, but he'll only be 25 in 18 months' time."
Keegan, who believes Wright-Phillips will be irreplaceable for the national team once given a start in major international, added: "Shaun is a very special player. I haven't seen a player like this in all my time in the game."
