This tutorial is very helpful if you realy want to learn about QC.
it's very clear with the example. Also got good idea of release cycles.
Cool stuff! Thanks very much for the effort that you have put in create this excellent stuff. Can you please show us how to map the requirements? I mean RTM.
This tutorial is really benefit for those who want to study demanding topics by own.Great work team!!!
Previously I have not known much about Release management as we have not used the same in my previous assignments. This step by step tutorial helped me in understanding the Release management efficiently.
Could you please provide some lights on 'Libraries' under Management and 'Business models' under 'Requirements' tabs?
@Irfan: The requirement mapping is covered in the next article. I wanted to have tests created and then the requirements mapped. So please stay tuned for the next one.
@Mahesh: I am glad to hear this article cleared up questions you had about releases in ALM.
Libraries are going to be in article number 5.
I am not going to cover business models. It requires a standard modeling tool first to create business models and then the created models are imported into ALM.
If you need more information on the topics, i suggest you refer to the User guide.
Teaching us by covering all related screenshots is good. It helps to learn/grasp easily. Thanks.
@Kedar: Tests and the test cycles are going to be in the next article. I am also going to introduce dashboard and other analysis tool in the last article.
@Swati – Thanks and I did check your day 4 tutorial.
How can I add requirement type? I could not find requirement type "Testing" for adding a requirement? does requirement type maintains by admin user?
@Wendy: Yes, Wendy. If "Requirement Type" is a field that you would want for your project, an admin can create that for you.
Very useful. Teaching with example and screenshot is an excellent stuff. Easily understoodable.
Very good information.thanks.one of the step requirement id you said is 7…but in pic shows as 12.
could you plz temme how to generate rtm in QC???
Thanks for being the only one who explains clearly how see the requirements associated to release!
What a brilliant session..!! Impressed.
Great effort…! Very much helpful for the freshers.
Still I want to know about the Requeirment type option , where we have the Functional and Testing option, so could you please let me know the when and where exactly we should use thoes option.
Thank you so much for having created this tutorial. It is very easy to follow and gives a good understanding of QC. Brilliant work.
It is a spoon feeding session that helped lot!!
when we create test requirement with test cases linking, is possible the requirement filter by dedicated test campaign in the test lab?
I don't have the "masterplan tab". Is it possible to get it or do I have an old version of HPQC maybe?
This article is really very good and easy to understand.
Great! I could recommend this to my colleagues who want to have a start up on HP ALM or QC.
Steps are very simple and easy to execute.
in Step 4, there are different types of requirements . Can you please explain where i can find more details about the requirement types?
Regarding Step#9 in the Steps to Create Requirements section,the mentioned Requirement ID in the text is 7 and it is 12 in the screenshot. Even though this doesn't seem to be a big thing, Please update this since the learners will try to associate the content to screenshots.
i want to create a new requirement at requirement tab,but the new requirement folder option,as well as new requirement is in disable mode.what can i do to bring the new requirement folder option and new requirement options in enable mode.
Thanks for the tutorial. I wonder if you can help me with an issue I have in HP ALM 11.52. We recently upgraded QC from v10.0 to v11.52 and in the transition for a specific Requirements folder it assigned all the requirements to both Releases and cycles. The Test Exection is now completed for both Releases and I need the requierment stats of how mnay requirements were tested per Release/cycle. Is it possibel to filter the requirements based on the Test Set folder in Test Lab?
What issues might occur during ALM upgrade or installation and how to resolve them?
i wanted to know more clarification of Step #7: You can then assign additional details like the priority, provide attachments and other details before you Submit. The requirement gets added.
Step #10: Also there are other features like requirement traceability, test coverage, etc in the side bar of the "Requirement Details" dialog. We will discuss all that in details once we finish understanding the end to end flow from releases/cycles-requirements-tests-test sets-defects.
This Tutorial helps me to learn QC easily. Very good Explanation with step by step screenshots. Thank you very much.

Beeline is all about the journey to the destination
Felicia Shivakumar	2 years
Beeline is a handlebar-mounted gadget that uses a combination of Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS to direct you around town. Instead of giving you turn-by-turn direction like a traditional GPS, though, it simply acts as a compass to guide you to your destination. The Beeline team argues that this allows riders to be more present by letting them decide the best path to take.
The project launched on Kickstarter October 28, 2015 and raised $225,000 toward making this idea happen. Today the company shipped to its 5,000 backers and made the product available on its site for £99.
"The key to our success, I think, is being really eager to find help where we can and assuming that what we are trying to do other people have done before," says co-founder Tom Putnam. Like the product itself, which encourages serendipity, the Beeline team knew the general direction it wanted to go, but was open-minded about how to build out its business.
"It's not rocket science," Putnam told us. "We met loads of people who said they came up with the idea, but no one ever did anything about it." So in developing its product, the team didn't worry too much about copycats or stolen IP. Instead, the Beeline team reached out to anyone who might be able to help or give insights and then used those connection to improve its product and design.
Beeline enters a market of established bluetooth-enabled cycling hardware that includes COBI, SmartHalo, and Blubel, but according to Beeline, competition is a good thing. "Together we are all creating a market so we don't feel super protective about others getting into the space," Putnam said.
Currently, Beeline is targeting the product to its biggest user base, which is currently in London, but the device works "anywhere you can see the sky." Putnam says the only place you might have difficulty is using an Android phone in China (because China).
The goal for the coming months is to use the data collected from its users in the UK to build out the product and improve it. "We want to be measured on how we expand rather than trying to tackle the world at once," says Putnam who also noted that he's interested in seeing if the features that resonated during their crowdfunding campaign will remain the same now that consumers have the device in their hands. "I'm curious to see if people will love it and use it the way we designed or if evolves into something else entirely."

community, your-news,
Following the shocking reports of a recent spike in the incidence of suicide across our region since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, I set about establishing some facts so I could publicly raise the issue with the NSW Government and address it. What really alarmed me was when I heard from Bruno Efoti of the not-for-profit Tradies in Sight that 17 young people, aged between 17 and 24 years of age, had taken their lives in the Dubbo district during the pandemic. It's not just isolated to Dubbo, they're happening here, too. When I went searching for suicide statistics I discovered that accessing current information was difficult. Presently there is a one-to-two year lag in statistical data on suicide, due to the findings of coronial inquests required to establish that a death involved suicide. Queensland have a suicide register, which incorporates data collated by police, health and coroner, which provides more current suicide data. A suicide register has merit and utility in a timely and targeted response. Last week in Parliament I called on the NSW Government to adopt a suicide register to help improve our state's response to and intervention of suicide. Any suicide death is devastating and completely unacceptable, wherever it happens, but there are glaring differences in the rates of suicide occurring here in the bush as opposed to Sydney. Statistics reveal that the rate of suicide in Sydney was 7.8 per 100,000 population. The rate of suicide for rural and regional NSW was almost double, at 15.5 per 100,000. Of all NSW Local Health Districts, Murrumbidgee LHD leads the way as the highest reported suicides deaths, where the most latest obtainable statistics reveal 21.5 suicide deaths per 100,000. Sadly, this comes as no surprise and there is a direct correlation with the lack of services and funding for services in the bush, plain and simple. The rate of suicide among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, is even higher - 23.7 per 100,000. The psychological, social and economic impacts of drought, government centralisation of health services and isolation experienced by people in remote country communities all would contribute to health comorbidities, decline of mental health and ultimately to premature deaths caused by suicide. While the actual mental health impacts of COVID-19 are not yet known, information provided by the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health indicates projected data shows the pandemic will result in 25 per cent more suicides if unemployment rates reach 10 per cent, and up to 50 per cent more suicides if unemployment rates reach 15 per cent. The modelling suggests that young people will be among the worst affected with up to 30 per cent of the additional suicides occurring among those aged 15-25 years. It is also suggested that those living in rural and regional areas will be most affected, due to rising unemployment rates. There is almost no one who is untouched by suicide; Most of us know of someone who has carried it out or contemplated it. Coincidentally, and sadly, the morning of the day I delivered a speech in NSW Parliament about suicide, I received a telephone call from a constituent who told me his friend had just committed suicide. It's a call nobody ever wants to receive. Let's all be vigilant, always looking out for the people around us and getting them the help that is needed, before it's too late.

Q: AppEngine: Geospatial queries under Go There appears to be geospatial-query support under Java (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/geosearch) but there appears to be absolutely no documentation for doing the same under Go. Grepping google.golang.org/appengine for "geo" renders nothing but construction and validation of GeoPoint values.
Since Java supports this the API support must obviously be there. Does anyone have any experience with this or advice? Thanks.
Edit:
It looks like what limited support there is is only offered for Java:
http://startup-with-gae.blogspot.com/2016/01/geospatial-queries-with-google-cloud.html

A: It's, officially, completely unsupported in Datastore at this time. Use geohashes: https://github.com/gansidui/geohash/blob/master/geohash.go . It reduces this fro ma geospatial-storage/RTREE support problem to a string prefix-search.
It allows you derive a hash that describes a particular location, and then you can take this string and successively remove characters from the right side (and do string prefix-searches against your list of places and their geohashes with what remains) to find places near your principal location and expanding outward.
There is a predictable amount of geographic precision between each adjacent character of a geohash string, so you can either use this or the common prefix bytes between the principal point and the corner latitude/longitude of the map window to identify all places that should appear within it.

I am always intrigued when creative people tread common territory. I'm not talking about plagiarism, mind you, just coincidental mining of similar themes. I ran across just such a case recently while I was reading an old issue of WEIRD TALES MAGAZINE – actually, it was a Weird Tales paperback book, the 4-issue series Edited by Lin Carter. It was in issue 2, a story called FEAR by JOSEPH PAYNE BRENNAN.
It is one of Brennan's supernatural detective stories featuring detective Lucius Leffing, on a case in Connecticut with his assistant. Here's the plot – Leffing and partner have been called to investigate a series of strange deaths at the Hemlock Hills Convalescent Center. Turns out a supernatural being is stalking the halls of the nursing home, and the patients are dying of fright at the sight of the hideous being.
Brennan and Lansdale were definitely both inspired by the depressing and oppressive nature of retirement homes, and the constant companion of death that always lingers nearby. Makes for an interesting study in similarities between the two tales.

mary'zine #70: August 2014
I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much. —Emery Allen
Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences. —Emery Allen
We were all wounded in some domestic war. —Melissa Etheridge
I could fill this whole issue with quotations on the order of: "The course of true love never did run smooth." Wouldn't that be fun? No? OK, I'll have to find my own words.
I went down a giant slide once, years ago, and I remember it vividly. The slide was so slick and so long, and the ride so fast, that halfway down I felt like I was going to hurtle into space, overcoming gravity by the greater force of centrifugation. It was as helpless a feeling as I have ever known.
Oh, fickle gravity, which hurts so bad when you fall out of a tree but keeps you more or less moored to the earth or to a slippery metal slide.
My new love, which I recounted in great excitement in mary'zine #68, was about to transcend gravity in its own way…. I was going to travel to visit her, we talked about things we would do while I was there… when something happened…. Isn't it always the way? Something happens, you're not sure what, even after extensive back-and-forths where you alternately praise, accuse, justify, plead, and despair of getting back to the used to be…. It's what you both want, but somehow you're going in different directions, you can't seem to make it work, so many tears. One or both of you announce your imminent departure, then you come back, please, let's work this out. The ambivalence is palpable, on both sides. The two of you have promised to be honest and open, not to disappear without a word. But you're both caught in a morass of misunderstanding, seeing facts and implications with completely different eyes. What had begun as an uncanny simpatico, a field of blue flowers open to all outcomes, is suddenly charged with doubt. It's a wonder true love ever succeeds: How do two people navigate that swampy land of differences that were such a delight in the beginning?
One night, in an e-mail that seemed to come out of nowhere, she decided we had to "redefine the relationship." Apparently I had been taking too much, expecting too much. I read on with disbelief and increasing dread. I didn't know how we had gotten to this place. I wanted to tell her, I am not Hitler and you are not Czechoslovakia, but the time for jocularity seemed long past. I had believed that I could say anything to her and she would understand. (From which naïve forehead of a Greek god had I sprung?) We had both said we were in it for the long term. But I didn't know what to do with this new development.
Can a lesbian and a heterosexual woman ever be completely in sync? … maintain a close friendship, let alone a mutually declared sense of being "in love"? It seems crazy now. But I am still in it for the long love, the love that cares more for the well-being of the other than for one's own selfish desires.
I had been in love before, and I had grown into love, but I had thought that, for the first time, I had met my match and found my equal, that we were in the same place at the same time. I felt infinitely adaptable, willing to make room for her primary relationships, feeling I was at once on the outside and on the inside, in her heart. Her daily life could not include me, and I knew that. We were not young, we had histories, and we felt we could create a relationship that was out of the bounds of normality, personally crafted to connect on the levels that mattered and careful not to trample on what had come before.
Women can do this. Lesbians especially can do this, because we were born into a lawless land already. I never wanted to have a socially respectable relationship, one that followed the rules of courtship and betrothal, china patterns and dinner parties. When I fell in love with my roommate in college, it didn't faze me. Oh, I'm this horrible thing called a homosexual? Fine. In my late twenties, I found myself in a menage à trois with my then-partner and a young woman with two kids. How crazy, you think. Yes. But that's what I mean. When you're making your own rules, anything seems possible, and you believe you can overcome all manner of unlikelihoods. Of course, the threesome didn't last or, rather, it never really got off the ground. The strangest thing about it was that my mother—my mother—after taking to her bed a few years earlier when I told her I was gay, accepted this new relationship and even sent Christmas presents to the kids from their "other grandmother."
So that's where I'm coming from—and now, in my sixties, when I should be done with all that nonsense—I mean, exploring—I fall in love with a married woman and honestly believe, once again, that anything is possible and love will conquer all.
I think that American gay people have, in a sense, put one over on society by seeming to be "just like them," with all the raising of children and family values and respectable clothes and modest romance (chaste kisses for the cameras at the marriage ceremony). The thrill of acceptance—old hatreds transmuted into new laws that seemingly free us from the prejudices of the unimaginative—may or may not be transformed into the platitudinous tedium of real life. Lesbians, like heterosexuals, can cheat on each other, leave each other, do all sorts of terrible things in the name of love. One thing that seems to be different is that lesbians tend to rearrange relationships in a group so that eventually everyone at the table has slept with the hostess. This can be awkward but is, in the end, rather endearing. We are loyal, and we are not just about sex. One of my best friends was my partner for 12 years (and one of the threesome), and she has been with her current partner for longer than that. She is now as much my family as my sisters are.
Although I accepted that lovemaking with my new love would never happen in reality, I kept the fantasy going in my head, loving each endearment she spoke, responding to her hints and innuendos. She was enjoying the flirtatiousness, too, but apparently didn't know how close to the fire she was playing. I wanted to believe in the endless unfurling of a miracle. Is this not the essence of romantic love? The relationship itself had felt like a miracle. But now it was as if Cupid had pricked us both with his sly arrow and then pulled it out again, leaving us gasping for air like fish flopping on dry land.
Anyone in her right mind would have seen that it couldn't last. Three- or four-hour phone calls, long chats online, checking for messages in the middle of the night…. But neither of us was in her right mind. Love—the booming fireworks that often begin the opening and sharing of the heart—is not a logical, clinical process. Nor is it a regular friendship, which proceeds in cautious steps, building trust and camaraderie as you go. No, this was sheer craziness, a ride not unlike the long slide of my youth that threatened to catapult me into the atmosphere.
In the stream of humanity, we are but a collection of molecules, held together by friction and desire, trying in vain to individuate ourselves from the masses. It's an odd desire, this wanting to believe we are separate, that we are not what we, in fact, are: members of a species who will float downstream until we reach the end of our run and disappear into the froth and spray of an undifferentiated ocean.
But even as we try to individuate, we are looking to meld hearts with another. It's one of the most fulfilling things in life. It is like a miracle, finding another person who sees you for who you are, who loves you despite all the practical difficulties, the fallen limbs that often lie across the path to true union. When a new friend declares she loves you, that she is in love with you, there is no headier feeling.
I am the delinquent who will never steal again.
"Scared Straight" was a 1970s documentary that evolved into a TV series that has now turned into a program called "Beyond Scared Straight" ("because scaring teens is no longer as easy of a task") that introduced young offenders to the reality of prison life. The idea was that the kids would be scared out of their incipient lives of crime, which must seem so glamorous and freeing when they are first attracted to it. The toughest-looking and -acting prisoners put on a convincing show for these kids, who tried to seem above it all but were mostly terrified at the thought of being passed along from rapist to rapist. I don't know if this program worked, or if "Beyond…" scares them more efficiently, but I'm only using it as a metaphor, so let's get on with it.
My love(r) was questioning the relationship because it was too intense and draining (as friendships between women tend to be) (you rarely hear about drama kings), and I was forced to see that I could lose everything if I didn't stop wishing for what I couldn't have. I had wrongly thought that wishing could remain an exciting part of this homemade, crafted-on-the-fly relationship, a personal quirk that she could accept because she would know it would never come to fruition.
But it was not to be. I was scared straight, all right, and I do not shrink from the double meaning in that term. As far as she's concerned, I'm as good as heterosexual now. When faced with the possibility that I would lose her, I discovered that all fantasies had fled for higher ground. It was a sobering realization, and I'm still not sure how things will ultimately change between us. But it's probably the best thing that could have happened, if we are truly destined to be close friends who enjoy and love each other for a lifetime.
Am I capable of writing about this experience honestly? I wonder. I'm not writing from the point of view of the future, after a relationship is lost and I can extract hard-earned lessons from it, free to describe and analyze what happened in the spirit of a past love well fought for but not to be. I'm still fighting for it, and for a myriad of reasons I can't offer up all the details, all the things that would identify her, all the theories of, not only what I did wrong, but what she misunderstood or projected onto me from her own past.
She will read this, of course, as she read the "love letter" that was mary'zine #68. In the throes of blooming romance, there is nothing to tell that isn't flattering, seductive (she says I "seduce with words"), and in the service of continuing the experience.
But is seduction even possible? It sounds so manipulative, intended to dominate, to force the issue. But isn't it more a matter of the seducer happening upon a willingness to be seduced? Cupid shoots his arrow, but the receiver must be ripe—primed—hopeful even, looking for it—to receive it.
I don't want to consume her, or merge with the hearth fire of her everyday life. I want to be a small, bright flame that burns in her heart of hearts, like a pilot light that is contained and respectful, that honors and supports life rather than destroys.
How can I be truly honest about what happens between a lesbian and a heterosexual woman when the lesbian can dream all the possibilities and the straight woman cannot?
Be the person you needed when you were younger. —Ayesha A. Siddiqi
When I opened up Facebook one morning, that quotation was the first thing I saw. I had just posted my mary'zine #69 called "Daddy's girl," and I thought, sure, I could have used the person I am to help me through my difficult childhood, but who's going to help me now? Where is the person I might be when I'm 85 and can look back on this period of my life and send good thoughts down through the ether of time? It's as if a lifetime of hard-won lessons has been flushed down the drain and I stand before you, as defenseless as a lamb.
After reading my lover's e-mail about redefining the relationship, I sat there for I don't know how long, paralyzed, with a feeling of utter hopelessness. Blood really does run cold at such times. Cold-blooded. Check it and see. I had a fever of a hundred and three but I'd been plunged into the icy depths of a love gone cold—or so it seemed to me at the time. To make it worse, she was not going to be available for several days, so no amount of frenzied typing would even reach her, let alone get a response for a long weekend's eternity. So recently hot blooded, I was unable to respirate let alone think lucidly.
Love is never smooth, but it's never so rough as when you're trying to explain a position you held days ago but did not express well and that has now been through the wringer of her perceptions and your own fears and reactions. Love starts with excitement and surprise and ends with a surfeit of words, often at cross purposes. And when you've been hurt by love—as who hasn't?—you may suddenly see manipulation and plotting where once you saw only innocent attention.
I knew I had to sift down through the layers of desire and confusion and be as honest as I've ever been in my life. I had to answer her accusations—that all I wanted was to make a sexual conquest, that I have issues with straight women and create scenarios in which I will be rejected or abandoned because "that's all I know." This is Psychology 101 and not a bad guess, but I am a different person now. I have been there and I have done that.
She is not a mother figure to me. She is my equal. We are well matched in intelligence, humor, and creativity. Like all lovers, we had tried to remember exactly how this thing had happened. It's love's favorite game:
When did you first notice me?
When did you start to feel like you were falling in love?
I knew you loved me, but when you said you wanted to make love to me, that's when it really hit me.
I have lifelong friends, proven friends. I do not want for love: true love, not the sexy, new kind I was enjoying with her. But sexy and new, when going up against the old and true, has the advantage of youthfulness and a flowering in the blood that can't be denied.
When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman.
I came upon this quotation when I was googling something else, and I recognized how I was feeling. But then I was embarrassed to see that it's from a TV show: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So: —Joss Whedon.
My lover's theory about my self-sabotage via the next attractive straight woman I came upon bothered me like the pearl grinding itself into beauty inside the oyster. Only I suspected there was no goddamn pearl in there, just more pain and self-recrimination.
I imagined myself going down, down, down into the inky void of my own soul. I wanted to face the truth rather than make up stories and offer excuses or apologies.
Being honest with another person can be difficult, but it's nothing compared to being honest with yourself. I wanted to reach the rock bottom of my deluded self, push the illusions aside like so much clinging brush, and see myself with true eyes. We only half-understand ourselves under the best of circumstances. But it seemed crucial to face the hard truth or truths that would tell me which way to go—to attempt to rescue the relationship, or let it go. But going down to the rock bottom of your self is a fitful process, and you can't help but look for footholds or a ledge upon which to rest, or reasons why this person who is angry at or disappointed in you cannot possibly be right. I kept letting go, and letting go, trying to forget the specifics and focus on the elusive truth. It was more important for me to find it than to convince her of it. I was only half of this equation, and x was still a complete mystery.
I could hardly move, could hardly breathe. I had days in front of me with no resolution, and, worse, no hope of resolution even when the time was up.
I had thought we were committing ourselves to working through the inevitable issues. We were embarked on a "friendship for life"… a friendship that she described early on as "an affair of the mind and of the heart." We had had a wonderful time learning about each other for several months. There had been a hiccup or two, but we had got through them, which seemed to assure us that with honesty and perseverance we could get through anything.
But my desire for her—even in fantasy—had reared its ugly head enough times that she had had enough. She had thought it would "fade with time"—I'd "get over it"—an attitude with which I was very familiar. But we were each being true to our respective nature. To me, our relationship was new and exciting and had an unmistakable air of the sexual or at least the romantic. To her, it was the beginning of a long friendship—still new and exciting, but with a different result.
Finally, it was not about convincing her (or myself) of anything. Each of us had our own history that led us to this promising, intense relationship, our own feelings and the actions that could or could not follow. Consequences.
In time, she softened enough to say that she didn't know what to do, that she wanted this "friendship for life" but didn't know how it could work. The best scenario for her was to go back to before our used to be. We would see each other online and interact briefly. And that's what we have done.
But I missed her so much; the feeling was palpable, visceral. There was a real connection there, and it looked like it was going to be cut off out of fear—a fear that we seemed to engender in each other, the panic of the lover wanting to rescue the drowning love but ultimately unable to save it.
I hope it works out. I love that woman.
I wrote most of this issue a few weeks ago, when things between me and my love were still up in the air. They have come down to earth now, I am happy to say. Again, it was a mysterious process, what she went through, what I went through, to get to the point where we can say honestly that we don't want to lose each other. As friends. Because we are both emotional, intense people, that will still be a factor in the relationship, but I think we are over a major hump. I couldn't put her in a sexual fantasy now if I wanted to. And I don't want to, because I want her loving friendship more than a dream. That is so mature of me, I know, and it was getting scared straight that finally made the difference. As my father used to say, "Wake up to the fact that you're alive!" I had to wake up to the frightening possibility of losing this new friend, this woman I admire and cherish so much.
Maybe we will always be not far from that edge, that big, deep feeling that can turn on a dime and become scared, whether straight or not. I told her once that I felt, with her, that I was riding a bucking bronco and just wanted to stay on long enough to… what?… well, just to stay on. You don't always know with a metaphor like that if you're truly staying on or if you've landed back in the stands and can only watch the rest of the rodeo go by. I have never used a rodeo as a metaphor before, and I hope I will never have to use it again. If she's the bucking bronco and I'm the hapless rider, I think I'll be better off standing a little bit apart and convincing the bronco that there's no reason to buck, I'm off her back and she is free to live her life. Hopefully with me in it.

I am glad things are better, editorite. You certainly have a gift for sharing and a gift with words. I do know a few drama kings, though, trust me.
Wowza yowza. What can I say, girl?! Destined to push the edges of the human heart. To expand-excavate-exonerate-examine the depths and sides of communication and relationship. Such powerful soul work.
I remember with heady-joy the early days of our email affair back in the first days of inbox breathlessness lol. That was awesome. It still is awesome. I love you and your shared mind and heart.

An interactive guide to Jewish Lithuania
Published on 2016-10-06 | Wilnoteka
Fot. jewishstudies.lt
The scientists from the Department of History of the Vilnius University along with the Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews have created an interactive educational – tourist guide to Jewish Lithuania – ©Discover Jewish Lithuania. The application was created in five languages – Lithuanian, English, Hebrew, Polish and Russian.
©Discover Jewish Lithuania – it is a free of charge application, in which specialists in the field of Jewish culture and history dr. Elena Keidošiūtė, dr. Dovilė Troskovaitė, post-graduate students Tadas Janušauskas (Central European University), Monika Ramonaitė, Darius Sakalauskas under the supervision of a Docent of the Department of History of the Vilnius University Jurgita Verbickienė have prepared more than 60 stories about the history, culture and heritage of Jews in Lithuania. The unique, popular science project was executed by the post – graduate student of the Department of Communication of Vilnius University Tadas Žižiūnas.
The scientists depict the history of Jews, their impact in the history of Lithuania. The themes were prepared in seven Lithuanian cities and towns: among others Vilnius, Wiłkomierz, Kedainiai, Żagory, Olkieniki. The themes are very diverse – beginning from first petrol stations in Lithuania, through Jewish volunteer soldiers, who fought for Lithuania independence, to a famous Great Synagogue in Vilnius.
The application was created in five languages – Lithuanian, English, Hebrew, Polish and Russian.
The application reacting on the user's map localization and a camera in an used device, work through the agency of solutions of the virtual reality. Therefore, it is advised to use the application live, wandering through a street and discovering these places in a map, which hide chosen visualisations of past cities and towns. Including – especially prepared a dynamic 3G model of a Great Synagogue in Vilnius. The application does not demand a permanent connection to the Internet and that is the reason why it is attractive for tourists.
The Director of the Center for Studies of the Culture and History of East European Jews, Docent of the Department of History of the Vilnius University J. Verbickienė hopes that the application will enjoy popularity not only among tourists but also among young people in Lithuania who are willing to discover and get to know varied history and culture of Lithuanian Jews.
First version of the application is already available in Google Play i App Store shops

And yes, the LittleBigChallenge Prize is indeed a "Rare Prize Crown DLC" which is mentioned above.
Have fun video remixing! Choose your interviews!
You may want to mention the competition to make a new one for some cool DLC, and change the title accordingly, Then it's more of a useful thread if you know what I mean!
EDIT: Wow, just saw it on youtube, didn't realise it was a contest! I wanna make something like this for teh rare prize crown!!!
@Doopz479 I didn't say it was a crown, just some rare DLC.
So here's the challenge: take any LBP2 interview(s) from this month's E3 coverage and remix it - upload it and add it as a response to the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAaeOd7Dtr8). If it catches our eye/ear, we'll hand out a few of the Rare Prize Crowns for your efforts.
This is win. I gather any video that correctly uses auto tune and a synthesized beat to do something like this is win.
Someone should remix them into something like that "Rock Bottom" interview on the Simpsons.
Well, they say they're giving out crowns So maybe if it was a collaborative effort, they might give us both a crown?
I actually edited the whole video for mine inside GarageBand '09 !!
I'm going to post mine on these forums soon, because I need advice on what to add / remove etc.
And I only discovered that neat trick this morning when I expected garageband to just strip off the soundtrack from the video file, but it strangely didn't!!
Technically no. As 'rare' is defined by Google as not widely distributed, but if you compare it to how many people play LBP, I imagine only a small percentage have crowns. But it's definitely losing it's novelty as more crowns are handed out. Hopefully they have something new for LBP2.
Play. Create. Share. Is. A. Pcs. Or. A. Csp. Or. Even. A. Psc.
Assuming you are using Safari, 1) go to the video on youtube 2) press cmd+alt+a 3) double click the largest file in the new window (should be around 30-40MB depending on the resolution.
PS: Somewhat related to this thread, where can I upload music without creating an account first?
We need to have this song in LBP2!!!
Made a audio remix and a short ringtone version of the original remix. You can listen to them here (http://drop.io/PCSremix).
Here's my first idea. (It's not great because I don't often use music programs, nor am I a musician!) I'll have my other one up once I've finished it!
Link didn't help, but thanks anyways!
This made me smile. Thanks for sharing!


Atmos Swiss Review: Is it the Ultimate in Multi-Use Vaporizers?
The Atmos Swiss can function as a wax vaporizer, an e-nail, a dab rig accessory, and a weed vaporizer. So is this the only vaporizer you'll ever need? Not so fast, it works just fine as a vape pen but all those other functions require the use of additional equipment, which means additional expenses. The Swiss is certainly versatile but it's also proof that it's better to be great at one thing than it is to be okay at lots of things.
The Atmos Swiss ($129.95 directly from Atmos, use coupon code TVG15 for a 15% discount) is a versatile, multi-purpose (like a swiss army knife, get it?) vaporizer that can vape THC concentrates and dry herb. There are a bunch of Great Wax Vaporizers to choose from though, so why choose the Swiss?
For one thing, it can save you money if you also vape dry herb or if you like to vape your wax in multiple ways. That's because the Swiss can function as a standalone vaporizer or as an accessory. Of course it's one thing to be able to do all of those things, it's another thing to do all of those things well. So is the Swiss the ultimate multi-use vaporizer or is it a Jack of all Trades, Master of None? Check out my Atmos Swiss review to find out.
That's a pretty loaded kit but if you ever need a replacement for the dab tool or you need a separate storage container then check out Amazon to find some quality options.
L-R: Storage container, dab rig adapter, Atmos Swiss, glass mouthpiece, glass cover & silicon cap.
The built-in storage container is a useful place to store your wax.
The basic Swiss is 5.44 inches tall and 0.94 inches in diameter, so it's on the large side for a vape pen. Its portability is limited to purses, backpacks, and jacket pockets, rather than pants pockets. Its functionality isn't limited, since it's comfortable to hold and feels good when you're vaping from it. The glass mouthpiece helps a lot since it keeps the vapor cool and the flavor pure.
The silicon storage jar in the base is also a great portable feature since you don't have to keep your wax in a separate container. Using it as a dab rig accessory is also easy since the adapter is tapered to fit 14mm and 18mm female joints, no additional parts are necessary. Using the Swiss as an e-nail or a dry herb vape is also simple because the necessary components are easy to attach, though they are sold separately.
The Swiss is a little larger than most vape pens.
One surprising oversight is the lack of a distinct temperature control or a battery indicator. There are three preset temperature settings but you don't know what they are. This is somewhat acceptable when using it as a vape pen since they usually have preset settings. It's also fine when using the Swiss as a dab rig accessory. It's not great when using it as an e-nail or a dry herb vape since both those kinds of devices work best with granular temperature controls.
The lack of a clear battery life indicator is inconvenient because the indicator lights only show the battery level when turning on the device. The stainless steel finish of the Swiss is classy, understated and scratch resistant. Overall, it feels like a solid and well engineered device but there are a lot of parts to keep track of so you should be careful how you store them.
Remove the glass cover and silicone cap from the top of the device and attach the bottom cap to the base of the device.
Press the power button 5x to turn on the Swiss.
To use it in manual mode, hold down the power button until the light turns from red to green to indicate that the Swiss has reached its maximum temperature.
Dab your wax onto the nail, attach the glass mouthpiece, and inhale from it to start vaping.
The glass mouthpiece keeps the vapor cool in vape pen mode.
Remove the glass cover and silicone cap from the top of the device.
Attach the silicone insert and bottom cap to the base of the device then insert the Swiss into its base stand.
Attach the Atmos Studio Rig, or any compatible e-nail attachment, to the chamber connector on top of the device and fill it with water.
Press the power button 5X to turn on the device.
Press the power button 2X to choose automatic mode then hold down the power button to select a duration setting.
Dab some wax onto the nail then inhale from the mouthpiece.
Remove the silicon insert and bottom cover from the device if they are attached.
Attach the rig adapter to the bottom of the device.
Attach the chamber connector to the top of the device then attach the titanium nail to the chamber connector.
Place the glass cover and silicone cap atop the chamber connector.
Connect the Swiss to your rig with the adapter then open the cap and dab your wax onto the nail.
Press the power button 5X to turn on the device then press it 2X to select automatic mode.
Hold down the power button to cycle through the duration settings.
Once the setting has been selected, inhale from the mouthpiece of the rig.
The Swiss can function as a dab rig accessory once the adapter is attached.
Attach a dry herb heating chamber (sold separately) to the chamber connector.
Press the power button 5x to turn on the Swiss and select manual or automatic heating mode.
Once heating is complete, insert your herb into the chamber, attach the glass mouthpiece, and inhale from it to start vaping.
The Swiss' functionality as a vape pen is very good.
You need to buy a separate kit – this adds to the expense of a device that isn't cheap to begin with.
Limited nail choice – the Swiss only includes a titanium one, the other nail types are sold separately, most e-rigs include titanium, quartz, and ceramic nails.
There's no granular temperature selection – again, the Best E-rigs allow you to choose from a wide range of temperatures.
As you can see, a dedicated e-rig would be much cheaper and give you more options. The Swiss' performance as an e-nail is decent but an actual one would be the superior option.
I tried it out on the Higher Standards Rig and it worked fine, but is it better than a blowtorch? It's a little safer but the torch gives you a higher temperature range and is more fun to use. Also, the Swiss takes longer to set up than a torch. The Swiss works as a rig accessory but it doesn't give you any huge benefits over a less expensive torch and it only has one nail option included.
The Swiss only includes a titanium nail for wax vaping.
This mode also needs a separate accessory to work as a dry herb vape but I wouldn't bother with it. The fact that even the instruction manual warns you that your weed might combust tells you a lot. The fact that the Best Weed Vapes have discrete temperature controls should tell you the rest. Despite the glass mouthpiece, vaping dry herb always feels too hot with the Swiss, it's clearly a wax device so get a pure weed device for your herbs.
The Swiss works best as a vape pen, every other mode requires extra expenses on top of the Swiss and don't work as well devices dedicated to those functions. The battery life can last for a few sessions and charges in about three hours, which is average for a 1500 mAh battery.
The Atmos Swiss ($129.95 directly from Atmos, use coupon code TVG15 for a 15% discount) does one thing pretty well, but is average at all the others. As a vape pen, it's performance is solid and the wax container and glass mouthpiece are nice touches that you don't see in even the Best Vape Pens.
As an e-nail, it's like buying an engine and buying the rest of the car later. It's just not practical. Using it as a dab rig accessory is like putting wheels on a hovercraft. It feels redundant if you already have a blowtorch. As for dry herb vaping, there are almost too many better options. The Swiss is an impressive feat of engineering and design but it only does one thing really well despite its versatility.
Thanks for reading my Atmos Swiss review, it turns out that it's a Jack of all Trades and master of one.
Where to buy the Atmos Swiss?
Buy directly from Atmos for $129.95 and use coupon code TVG15 to save 15%.

Ken Welch works first day in City Hall following COVID-19 recovery
Welch worked his first week as Mayor from home after testing positive for COVID-19.
St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch worked his first day in City Hall Thursday, one week after being virtually sworn in.
Days before his scheduled inauguration, Welch tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the virtual ceremony. He was sworn in from the lawn of his Lakewood Estates home in a ceremony broadcast to the city.
"I am excited to be in City Hall today for the first time as your Mayor. My thanks to all of you who helped make my virtual inauguration such a success," Welch said in a news release. "Now, it's time to get to work for the city we love. We have already started to undertake important work and initiatives that will affect the lives of our residents on a daily basis."
One of his first official acts in City Hall was presenting Tom Greene to the City Council for confirmation as interim City Administrator. Greene has been an assistant city administrator since 2018 and was the city's budget director before that.
Despite the COVID-19 diagnoses, Welch had been performing the duties of Mayor virtually. And he's set an ambitious agenda for the start of his administration.
"In the coming weeks and months, Mayor Welch will continue work on a robust agenda that includes guiding the city through the current omicron spike of the COVID-19 pandemic; addressing affordable and workforce housing and rising rents and home prices; increasing equity, jobs, and community development; responding to climate resiliency and infrastructure needs; and ensuring safe neighborhoods," Communications Director Janelle Irwin Taylor said in a news release.
The release also outlined the guiding principles Welch will use to navigate his leadership of the city. He calls it the "Six I's."
— Being In-touch: hands-on and active in the community with collaboration with City Council.
— Inclusive: Every constituent will be heard and every employee valued.
— Informed decision-making: Guided by best practices, facts, science, and our city's history.
— Innovation: Utilizing new technologies, ideas and creative partnerships to improve service delivery and implement more effective solutions to community challenges.
— Intentional Equity: Incorporate equity into all city policies to ensure growth benefits the entire community.
— Community Impact: Measure each decision with one key question: Will it improve the quality of life for the people of St. Petersburg?
Welch has made equity and diversity a significant part of his administration's early messaging despite St. Pete voters in November saying no to a charter amendment that would've created an equity framework and chief equity officer position.
"When we listen to each other, and work to truly understand our viewpoints, we grow stronger collectively by building on our individual knowledge and strengths. When we do that, we will move past silos, prejudices and petty politics, and we will be able to build an inclusive path forward," Welch said in remarks after being sworn in last week. "The conversations may not be comfortable or easy. But as we demonstrated at our community conversations last month — it can be done; in fact, it must be done because we are in this together."
'After-School Satan Club' Targeting Children Ages 6 to 11 at Illinois Elementary School Sparks Outrage
Toby Overdorf hits a personal high, raises $22K to defend House seat
US Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is still working remotely because fellow justice Neil Gorsuch refuses to wear a face mask.
Triple vaxxed Sotomayor, 67, is overweight and has diabetes so she is at high risk for severe illness or death from Covid.
Someone should tell Sotomayor that a face mask is not going to stop her from getting Covid.
NPR reported:
TRENDING: Talent Agency Drops Lara Logan After She Compares Killer Fauci to Nazi Dr. Mengele
It was pretty jarring earlier this month when the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court took the bench for the first time since the omicron surge over the holidays. All were now wearing masks. All, that is, except Justice Neil Gorsuch. What's more, Justice Sonia Sotomayor was not there at all, choosing instead to participate through a microphone setup in her chambers.
Sotomayor has diabetes, a condition that puts her at high risk for serious illness, or even death, from COVID-19. She has been the only justice to wear a mask on the bench since last fall when, amid a marked decline in COVID-19 cases, the justices resumed in-person arguments for the first time since the onset of the pandemic.
Now, though, the situation had changed with the omicron surge, and according to court sources, Sotomayor did not feel safe in close proximity to people who were unmasked. Chief Justice John Roberts, understanding that, in some form asked the other justices to mask up.
A couple weeks ago Sonia Sotomayor falsely claimed that over 100,000 children are hospitalized and in serious condition because of Covid.
"Many are on ventilators," Sotomayor said.
This is a lie and the Supreme Court still has not corrected the record.

Conficker, conosciuto anche come Downup, Downadup e Kido, è un worm scoperto nel novembre 2008 che si diffonde sulle piattaforme Microsoft Windows.

Propagazione
Tale worm per diffondersi sfrutta una falla del servizio di rete Microsoft Windows (non ancora corretta), ma può essere trasmesso anche tramite memorie di massa USB, come pendrive o hard disk esterni infetti, tramite violazione delle credenziali di sistema nel caso in cui la password di amministratore locale sia banale oppure nulla, o tramite condivisioni di rete con permessi di scrittura.
Nel caso in cui un utente con elevati privilegi (es. un amministratore di dominio) effettui l'accesso ad una macchina infetta, il worm si può propagare su altre macchine della rete anche non vulnerabili.

Sintomi dell'infezione
 È impossibile fare aggiornamenti di Windows (Windows Update).
 Windows Defender è disattivato.
 La rete è congestionata: è impossibile caricare anche delle semplici pagine web.
 Gli accessi ai siti relativi agli antivirus sono bloccati.

 Utilizzando il software Snort con la semplice regola (in experimental.rules)

alert tcp any any -> any 445 (sid:1000000;msg:"Possibile Conficker.worm";)

alert tcp any any -> any 139 (sid:1000001;msg:"Possibile Conficker.worm";)

si possono individuare tentativi ripetuti di accedere a cartelle condivise
in rete; se questi tentativi sono numerosi possono essere un sintomo dell'infezione.

Esempio (sul file alert prodotto da Snort):

 grep ':445' *
produce il risultato:

alert:08/14-11:51:35.942871 10.64.1.13:1117 -> 10.64.1.5:445

alert:08/14-11:51:37.162632 10.64.1.13:1118 -> 10.64.1.6:445

alert:08/14-11:52:08.113339 10.64.1.13:1184 -> 10.64.1.37:445

alert:08/14-11:52:09.331510 10.64.1.13:1185 -> 10.64.1.38:445

alert:08/14-12:42:55.466951 10.64.1.13:1130 -> 10.64.1.5:445

alert:08/14-12:42:56.763753 10.64.1.13:1131 -> 10.64.1.6:445

alert:08/14-12:43:29.806946 10.64.1.13:1194 -> 10.64.1.37:445

alert:08/14-12:43:31.119931 10.64.1.13:1195 -> 10.64.1.38:445

alert:08/14-12:43:49.602320 10.64.1.13:1219 -> 10.64.1.52:445

in questo caso il server 10.64.1.13 tenta di connettersi in rete ad altri server, e questo è un possibile sintomo dell'infezione. (Effettivamente confermata poi utilizzando Tools come Stinger etc.)

Danni
Secondo il New York Times il worm ha infettato 9 milioni di computer al 22 gennaio 2009 mentre The Guardian ha stimato in 3,5 milioni i computer colpiti. Il produttore di software antivirus F-Secure ha affermato che fino al 16 gennaio 2009 Conficker ha colpito almeno 9 milioni di computer. Si stima che Conficker sia una delle più grandi botnet create, perché il 30% dei computer con Microsoft Windows non ha ancora installato la patch distribuita nell'ottobre del 2008. Il Ministero della Difesa inglese ha annunciato che alcuni dei suoi sistemi principali sono stati infettati. Il worm si è diffuso su alcune navi e sottomarini da guerra. Gli ospedali della città di Sheffield hanno annunciato l'infezione di oltre 800 computer. Il worm inoltre ha causato gravissimi danni al sistema di comunicazione dell'Aeronautica militare francese. Secondo gli esperti è la peggior infezione da quella del 2003 chiamata SQL Slammer.
Microsoft ha messo in palio un premio di 250.000 dollari a chi darà informazioni sul programmatore che ha realizzato il virus.

Prevenzione
Microsoft non è ancora riuscita a distribuire un aggiornamento di sicurezza, anche dopo le ricerche del Dicembre 2014; è consigliabile utilizzare un software antivirus costantemente aggiornato, un firewall che limiti l'accesso alle risorse di rete, o meglio ancora un IDS. In grosse aziende con centinaia o migliaia di computer in rete, fin quando tutti i computer nella rete non sono stati aggiornati con la patch di Microsoft, rimane l'alto rischio che il worm riparta dal singolo computer vulnerabile per poi infettare nuovamente tutta la rete.
