THE PASADENA JOURNAL — Baltimore, a city already under a federal consent decree to reform its police department after a Justice Department investigation into the 2015 death of Freddie Gray at the hands of police found rampant, systemic abuse of black residents by cops. Contrary to the usual response to such recordings, police and city officials acted quickly after Officer Arthur Williams was caught on camera Saturday, Aug. 11, savagely beating a defenseless DaShawn McGrier.

Another day, another week, another month, another viral video of police gone wild. This time it's Baltimore, a city already under a federal consent decree to reform its police department after a Justice Department investigation into the 2015 death of Freddie Gray at the hands of police found rampant, systemic abuse of black residents by cops.
Contrary to the usual response to such recordings, police and city officials acted quickly after Officer Arthur Williams was caught on camera Saturday, Aug. 11, savagely beating a defenseless DaShawn McGrier. McGrier, a 26-year-old warehouse worker, suffered fractured ribs, a broken jaw, various cuts and bruises and spent two nights in a local hospital.
After a witness posted the attack on Facebook and Instagram that day, Williams resigned. By Wednesday, he had been charged with first and second-degree assault.
The Baltimore incident mirrors images from so many other cities – Fort Worth, Texas; Philadelphia, Tulsa, Oklahoma; New York City, Mesa, Arizona; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Cleveland, Chicago, Beavercreek, Ohio, Gwinnett County, Georgia; Bloomfield, New Jersey, Grandbury, Texas; North Charleston, South Carolina; Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
It's "déjà vu all over again."
[media-credit id=14 align="alignleft" width="199″] [/media-credit]
In most cases, the officers are white, and the victims are black. Consequently, there is an inclination to define police misconduct largely as an issue of race. The Baltimore cop caught on camera beating the hell out of a black man, T, however, was not white. He was African American. So was his partner, who stood by and watched without trying to halt the assault.
So are 42 percent of the officers within the Baltimore Police Department. So is the current Baltimore police commissioner, as was the previous police commissioner, as was the police commissioner when Gray died of a crushed spinal cord following a ride in the back of a police van, as were six other Baltimore police commissioners in a city where police have been under the control of African-American political leadership for nearly 40 years.
Race is a significant part of the problem. For police and much of society, black men are the boogeyman, a threat or suspicious just by their mere presence. But it's just a part of the issue.
As we discovered through nearly 100 interviews with police, city officials and citizens across dozens of American cities, these incidents continue at a steady, pernicious pace because of a mindset and a pattern within most police departments that overrides nearly every significant effort to change them. Until we, the citizenry, address that culture as well as our own attitudes about what police should and should not do, the shootings, the beatings, the harassment and the abuse of police power will continue.
In large part, our police departments are defined by a law enforcement culture that perpetuates an us-against-the citizens attitude in which defending fellow cops – no matter how inept, how malevolent or corrupt – is paramount. Consequently, officers act with a sense of impunity, because they know that no matter what they do, their fellow officers will back them up, or at the least, won't report them.
We saw this in Chicago four years ago when three officers lied on their police reports to justify the shooting of 17-year-old black juvenile by a fellow officer — even though they knew there was video of the incident that would contradict their statements. So, the incidents continue. Williams did what other Baltimore cops had done, including hiss previous harassment and arrest of McGrier. This time it was caught on camera.

Additionally, departments too often do a poor job of screening out applicants, allowing in men and women who have already been proven to be bad cops in other departments. Such was the case of the officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland and the former St. Louis cop who without justification ruined the life of Fred Watson in Ferguson under the color of law.
Or they give a badge and a gun to people who never should be cops. In New Orleans, police hired a woman onto the force — despite her failure on psychological exams and strong objections from the department's psychiatrist – who would later murder a fellow officer and two residents in a robbery.
Additionally, the training they need is lacking. in Baltimore, for example, the department's own head of legal instruction at the police academy's earlier this year said a third of the men and women heading to the streets lacked a basic understanding of the laws governing constitutional policing.
"We're giving them a badge and a gun tomorrow, the right to take someone's liberty, ultimately the right to take someone's life if it calls for it, and they have not demonstrated they can meet [basic] constitutional and legal standards," Sgt. Josh Rosenblatt told the Baltimore Sun.
Rosenblatt, who is trained as a lawyer, said many of them failed to understand the most basic tenets of being a cop. "Don't illegally arrest people. Don't illegally search people. These are not high standards."
But even with better recruitment and proper training and even better pay, police will revert to the same unacceptable behavior as along as a culture exists in which they feel their first allegiance is to fellow cops and not the people they are paid to "protect and serve." Police and their conduct are defined by the public officials we elect to oversee them. As we approach the mid-term elections in November, we must to send a clear message to candidates that unless they stand for an end to police misconduct and the seemingly endless stream of cop violating citizens' rights, they won't get or vote.

Police Commissioner Jerry Speziale
Optics have become a major issue in today's policing because in some neighborhoods in Baltimore, residents see police officer's as a badge, uniform, gun and a danger, not someone who has agreed to be the protector of their lives and property. In this, change is critical to heal police and community relations. Regardless of race, profession or social status many are victims of this cycle. Officer involved shootings and other controversies bring distrust and destroy police-community relations, making exchanges between the police and the community a potentially lethal one by spreading distrust. It's important we break the cycle of mistrust requiring change and a change leader who has a record of building partnerships and trust with the community. It's imperative we promote cultural awareness and diversity training, looking at police accountability and culture from different perspectives. Everyone in the police department must be accountable for understanding the law and following it. As the leader of the organization, I have always been personally accountable for bringing a professional culture where law and policy are executed faithfully, fairly and without exception. I utilize evidenced based policing data to measure results because it reinforces accountability. Accountability means everyone from me through the rank and file is required to take part in trust building and legitimacy with the community in everything we do. I make sure we exercise our authority by the rules while making a positive impact on crime and disorder with fairness in everything we do when resolving issues.

Give me children, or I shall die.
The cry of Rachel for physical children should be more than matched by the believer's longing for spiritual children. Our great object in living is to glorify God, and we mainly achieve this end by the winning of souls. We must see souls born unto God. If we do not win souls, we should mourn as the farmer who sees no harvest, as the fisherman who returns to his cottage with an empty net, or as the hunter who has roamed in vain over hill and dale. Ours should be Isaiah's language uttered with many a sigh and groan—"who has believed what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"1 As ambassadors of peace we should not cease to weep bitterly until sinners weep for their sins. If we intensely desire to see others believing in the Lord Jesus, we must act in accordance with the principle and pattern of Scripture. We must depend entirely upon the Spirit of God. Do we not fail in many of our efforts because we practically, though not doctrinally, ignore the Holy Spirit? His place as God is on the throne, and in all our enterprises He must be the beginning, the middle, and the end; we are instruments in His hand and nothing more.
We must be most of all clear upon the great soul-saving doctrine of the Atonement. "He made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."2 This truth that Christ died in the place of sinners gives rest to the conscience by showing how God can be just and the justifier of whoever believes. This is the great net of gospel fishermen; the fish are drawn or driven in the right direction by other truths, but this is the net itself.
We must declare the love of God in Christ Jesus. Always keep His abounding mercy connected to His unerring justice. Never exalt one attribute at the expense of another. Let boundless mercy be seen in calm consistency with stern justice and unlimited sovereignty.
Believer, are you longing to see spiritual offspring? Do not let the sun set on this day without imploring God to show Himself strong in this regard. Beseech Him, "Give me children, or I shall die."
Editor's note: This meditation replaces Spurgeon's original devotional, on Isaiah 54:12 and was adapted from Charles Spurgeon's Lectures to Students, page 375.

Man charged with setting fire at Fayetteville park
Michael Norris (image courtesy Cumberland County Sheriff's Office)
FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- The Fayetteville Police Department has charged a man with setting fire to the performance stage at Festival Park.
Firefighters were called to the park on Ray Avenue off Rowan Street just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
They found fire in a trash dumpster along with a corner of the stage near the dressing rooms. Other areas of the stage were also burned, but the fires had gone out before firefighters got there.
No one was hurt. The total cost of the damage was estimated at $5,000.
Investigators quickly determined it was arson and turned the case over to Fayetteville police.
They've charged 36-year-old Michael Norris with two counts of felony burning of personal property and one count of felony burning of a public building.
Bond was set at $11,000.

1932 Pattern tunic for an Untersturmfuhrer (2nd Lt.) of Standarte 106, Augsburg. This man, or his immediate superior, would have been in charge of the 3rd Sturm, as denoted by the cufftitle. Although the surface of the tunic is quite worn, it is in good solid condition with only a couple of minor moth holes and worn spots. All insignia is original to the period, and original to this tunic, and there are loops for three badges on the left pocket. There are remains of a paper RZM label underneath the shoulder strap, otherwise it is unmarked. Lining is of the typical black artificial silk, with accommodations to suspend a sword or dagger.
Luftwaffe Flak Major tropical tunic and pants.
High quality heavy cotton tunic sports slip-on shoulder boards and a re-applied embroidered tropical breast eagle.
Brown painted removable buttons and button-up belt loops on each hip.
Pants are the issue variety, very well marked, and dated 1940.
Late issue four pocket service blouse in field grey for the Hermann Göring Division. This unique tunic was intended for wear by members of HG only, and is constructed of later quality brown grey wool and with cut similar to the Heer M43 blouse.
It is lined in pale grey blue artificial silk as found in field grey and black HG wraps, with belt hook support straps made of the same fabric, with size and RBNr markings above the inner bandage pocket. Further markings are also to be seen on the wool and the backing to the lining.
The national emblem is applied in the zigzag machine method and has a blue backing, The Hermann Goring sleeveband was applied by machine as the garment was made and has a better quality background of moleskin. All blue painted pebbled buttons match and are originally stitched, as are all collar liner, cuff and bandage pocket buttons.
Included are a pair of late issue Luft blue shoulder straps piped in pink rayon and having backing of fabric that matches the tunic- the pink denotes Panzerjagers of the HG division only- very rare. Furthermore, the tunic includes its original button-on collar liner.
The condition is near mint and it would be difficult to upgrade this rare and appealing tunic. There are very few of these tunics in collections, and this is certainly the most reasonably priced of those available for sale.
This 1st pattern two-sided reversible tarnjacke ( camouflage smock) features the rare Palm design that was first introduced in 1940 and utilized until 1942 when the Plain Tree and later Dot patterns were introduced. Camouflage smocks were discontinued in 1944 with the introduction of the HBT M44 general purpose camouflage uniform.
Surviving examples of these early Palm smocks are rare. This smock displays very little wear but two period modifications. The elastic around the neckline has been removed as well as the elasticized waistband and cuffs of the two sleeves have been removed down from where the elastic originally was.
The front opens below the neckline and extends to mid-chest. This opening is secured by ten eyelets through which a drawstring passes. There are two vertical reinforced flap pockets on the front/sides. The smock shows very little wear, damage, or fading, other than the aforementioned modifications.
The appraisal of the tunic was carried out by one of the most renowned experts in the field, in North America. Those who are considering purchasing this item will be able to access the name and the contact information of the expert via e-mail.
The tunic is a privately-purchased, tailor made garment by the firm of C. Louis Weber, Hannover. It belonged to a Reserve Scharfuhrer of the 12th SS Standarte's Stammabteilung (Reserve), also of Hannover, and is badged appropriately to include the very rare "Mitte" Oberabschnitte cufftitle.
all other insignia is believed to be original to the garment. The buttons are the earlier textured nickel-silver variety, and there is a typical Old Fighters' chevron on the right sleeve. Overall light wear with no substantial damage. The tunic dates to the post-April 1936 period when the Oberabschnitten were re-organized to include "Mitte".
Field-grey, wool/rayon blend construction M43 tunic.
The tunic has four, non-pleated, front pockets with straight edged, button down flaps.
The breast pockets are the basic patch type while the hip pockets are the saddlebag type with expanding side panels.
Left breast has four horizontal thread loops for wear of two awards. An Iron Cross ribbon has been added to the second button hole.
The tunic has four sets of two, vertically aligned, stitched eyelets with one set situated at either side of the front closure and two to either side of the back panel, at the waistline, designed for the belt support hooks- a feature exclusive to SS made uniforms.
The upper left sleeve has a bevo-type machine woven SS sleeve eagle which although hand-sewn came on the tunic and may well be original to it (all other insignia, with the exception of the collar tresse, has been carefully replaced).
Comes with a nice matched pair of slip on Infantry NCO's shoulder straps. The reverse of the lay down collar has a reed green smooth cotton backing.
Machine embroidered runic tab and rank tab are hand stitched to the collar.
The interior of the field blouse is partially lined in grey rayon with a herring bone pattern.
The right front tail skirt lining has a vertical, patch, field dressing pocket with a single button closure.
The lining also has four, vertical, grey straps with four stitched eyelets to each, positioned to the reverse of the exterior belt support hook eyelets, one of which bears a name that appears to be "Gamski".
Lining to right breast panel has black size ink stamps. Tunic shows consistently even, moderate nap wear through-out and light age and usage soiling.
This private-purchase, tailor-made garment has been stripped of all but its buttons and aluminum collar piping.
the tailor's label "Rudolf Wicha" of Vienna is sewn outside the right interior pocket, and a further label bearing the original owners name is found inside that pocket.
The name is smudged and faded, but could possibly be deciphered with some effort (possibly using an alternative light source).
Overall, the garment shows moderate wear with some faint signs of pervious insignia, and would be an excellent candidate for restoration!
Kriegsmarine tropical tunic and pants for a Boatswain.
Both have been worn but remain in excellent condition, the tunic sporting a pair of blue rather than tropical slip-on shoulder boards.
Very faint maker marks to the front fly of the tunic.
This is a very nice unissued tropical Kriegsmarine tunic for an NCO.
It is complete with painted steel buttons and original breast eagle, and has had a pair of Chief Machinist Botswain (Oberfeldwebel) shoulder straps added for display.
The tunic retains its original paper manufacturer's label from "F. Engel"
Luftwaffe Signals Stabsfeldwebel's four pocket service tunic in private purchase quality for an NCO in the Hermann Goring Division.
This tunic in officer grade material features matching copper brown piped shoulder boards, brown piped white collar tabs, and a tresse bordered HG cufftitle.
The collar is bordered with white twistcord piping. The Luftwaffe aluminum flatwire eagle over the right breast pocket shows excellent detail.
There are loops for a badge on the left breast pocket. The interior features the tailor's label (Georg und Fritz Roder, Furth) and shows light wear overall.
The tunic is lined with rayon. There is sewn a "D" ring through the lower left hip pocket from which a dagger would be suspended.
All insignia matches each other and the tunic, and have clearly been made and applied by the tailor at the time of manufacture.
This lovely tunic also comes with a photo and document that we believe relate to the original owner, Franz Seider.
The named photo does not show this particular tunic in wear- its not an HG tunic and the rank is one lower, but it does appear to be a signals branch uniform.
The document is a report of death post-war in a French hospital.
As mentioned, these pieces were found together and could provide the basis of some rewarding research for someone with the time and connections!
This is a late-war third pattern Heer tropical tunic with slip-on shoulder boards for a Major of Panzer Grenadiers.
The collar tabs and eagle are originally machine sewn, and the tunic appears to be in basically unworn condition.
The markings are great and very clear, and include size markings in black and an unusual RF number stamped in white ink vertically along the button fly.
The original buttons, S-rings, and belt hooks are present.
Reversible Mountain Troops pull over anorak.
This is the classic variety with three pockets across the front that became synonymous with the Gebirgsjager in WWII.
Green on one side, reversible to white on the other side for wear above the snow line.
Heer Artillery Hauptman "sudfront" tunic converted from a 1st pattern tropical tunic.
The open collar has been replaced with a wool "continental" style closed collar and the addition of an upper button.
Insignia consists of bullion officer's collar tabs, sew-in shoulder boards, and a hand applied bevo tropical breast eagle.
The tunic is well-marked and dated 1941.
The accompanying breeches are unworn and constructed from a fine olive green corduroy.
They still retain their original paper size tag from Pfennig & Hoppe, Duisburg.

So its been a while but never fear we still have the Jungle / Drum & Bass up in here. While I've been away I'm been busy helping out a new local Jungle / Drum & Bass label called ELM Imprint. Since I'm not much of a producer, I've been doing a lot of their design and illustration work. However I'm proud to announce that I also hosted their first ELM Imprint podcast!
Another soundboy selection from Edward the Librarian this month on the ELM Imprint podcast. Pulling forthcoming tracks from the likes of A-Sides, Wills Miles, R.A.W & the godfather Ray Keith. As well as a slew of classics from the golden era.
ELM Imprint is an independent record label based in the United States of America. Primarily releasing Drum & Bass, the label was started in 2015 by Phil Witkins , Aaron Duncan and Arch Dixon. The label is home to artists such as Wills Miles, R.A.W, Mutt, Tedder, Robert Manos and Spinnscott, while also releasing tracks from a whole host of other artists across the Drum & Bass genre.
Also go check out the SHOP, most of the merch was designed by me and I'm wicked proud if it.


Personification in John Banville's "Mefisto", and other examples.
Is the candy angry about being eaten, or is it calling out to be eaten?
We, humans, see human-like activity everywhere and it makes life all the more agreeable.
e e cummings's fragment of angry candy (the Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls).
Here's John Banville, in Mefisto, giving a living room description. The shutters are down; outside is a sunlit afternoon.
Quote: Sophie opened the shutters. The room greeted the sudden glare with a soundless exclamation of surprise. An armchair leaned back, its armrests braced, in an attitude of startlement and awe.
The room, the armchair as living beings.
John Banville in "Mefisto" describes a scene without verbs, masterfully. E. B. White would have had something to add to that.
Sighs, groans. Shouts in the night. An old man puking up gouts of green stuff, leaning over the side of the bed, a young nurse holding his forehead. Slow, wet, coughs, like the noise of defective suction pumps ponderously labouring. In the huge, white-tiled bathrooms, little labels exhorting patients not to spit in the handbasins. Everywhere the same thick cream paint, smooth as enamel, clammy as skin. I wore a mouse-colour dressing-gown with faded red piping.
This may not be the most pleasant scene to paint, but it is well-painted. A lot of figures went into making it flow smoothly, but one particular figure is at the core: scesis onomaton, which means the relation of words, and it has something to do with verbs. How many verbs did you count in the Quote?

Q: Magento 2 checkout required css classes In checkout what's the difference between these css classes on fields:
required / _required ?
Because I see that some fields have _required css class, but the address field block has only required (without line character).
And if I send the empty form, the address field block doesn't receives _error class (and not receiving the same error design).
Here's a screenshot:

Thanks in advance
Edit:
This is what the OP is referring to, some classes use required and others use _required. So what is the difference?

A: CSS classnames starting with an underscore are helper classes (e.g. ._active, ._open, ._expanded, ._hidden, ._required), all other classnames (should) start with a letter. According to the Magento 2 Developer Documentation some parts of the Magento code might not comply with this standard yet and therefore you might still find helper names without an underscore.

You must assign HTML helper classes in JavaScript to modify presentation layer.
HTML helper class names added in JavaScript REQUIRE underscore symbol (_) at the beginning and must be written in lowercase.

IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE: Back in the day, one Ukrainian refugee became a star soccer player in the USA
Dec 25, 2022 | Rochester Lancers |
At his online launch in March, FrontRowSoccer.com editor Michael Lewis read a passage from his book, ALIVE AND KICKING The incredible but true story of the Rochester Lancers, about how Don Lalka and his family left Ukraine at the end of World War II. With what has transpired in the past year, we thought it was appropriate to share this piece.
This excerpt, from the beginning of Chapter 4, And so it really begins, is used with permission.
Don Lalka learned at an early age that very few things were given to many people on a silver platter, and that he would have to work hard to achieve his goals. Lalka lived in his native Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, and Germany for the first seven years of his life before journeying to the United States.
By the time he joined the Rochester Lancers in 1967, the 23-year-old center back had accrued a ton of experience, playing for professional and semi-pro teams on the East Coast, in the Midwest and Canada.
At the time, North American pro soccer was the sport's equivalent of the wild west, with two new national leagues and the American Soccer League. Players were in demand, especially good, young defenders such as Lalka. A naturalized citizen, he became the Lancers' first Homegrown Player, in today's Major League Soccer parlance.
Born in Rohatyn, Ukraine on July 3, 1944, Lalka emigrated to the U.S. with his parents at a very young age. Rohatyn is a suburb of Lviv, the second largest city in the western part of the Ukraine. When Lalka was one-year-old, his family was forced to escape the city because it was about to be reclaimed by the communists in 1945. His father was an anti-communist, and an active member of the underground movement. "The communists were coming back, and my father knew it would be Siberia for us if we stayed," Lalka was quoted by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The Lalka family's goal was the United States. Since thousands of people wanted to emigrate to America after World War II, they were forced to wait. "We grabbed whatever we could and left," Lalka told the D&C. "We stayed just behind the lines, as the Germans were being pushed back. It was like a wagon train."
The family was fortunate to take a train to the American zone in Ingolstadt, Germany, in a displaced persons camp. The Lalkas lived in cramped quarters in old Army barracks for six years. Lalka attended kindergarten there, first hearing about America while watching movies. GIs gave him and other children chocolate bars. "We used to get packages from various organizations like CARE," he told the newspaper. "I remember once we got a package of toys and there was a baseball glove inside. One of the kids picked it up and said, 'God, it must be cold in America. Look at the size of this glove.' We had no idea of baseball then."
Soccer, though, was something else. "We had one ball, and it must have been sewn together 3,000 times," Lalka said.
In 1951, when Lalka was seven, the family's paperwork came through. They boarded a train to Munich for processing before traveling to the port of Bremerhaven, and boarded the ship, General Taylor, for a two-week journey to the USA. "It was an old army transport, and I remember 95 percent of the people on board getting sick," he told the D&C. "It was a miserable trip for everybody, but I loved it. I was just a kid, and I was running around everywhere. The ship hands gave me chewing gum and I was into everything."

The General Taylor pulled into New York Harbor at night. Lalka and his sister went onto the deck and could not help but notice this great green statue — the Statue of Liberty, which greeted many an immigrant. "We were amazed at all the lights," Lalka said. "The Statue was all lit up, and you could see the city, all lit up, in the background. I was very impressed."
The Lalkas moved in with a distant cousin in Brooklyn, N.Y. before traveling upstate to Utica and settling in Rochester, thanks to another relative, in 1953. Lalka's father became a night watchman at Sibley's, a local department store. Lalka's love affair with sports, particularly soccer, blossomed, although that sport wasn't always high in the local pecking order. "We'd go to the old Washington playground to play soccer," he said. "The kids would come up with big gloves and bats and throw us out. I think I've been thrown out of every field in Rochester."
He attended Franklin High School and played basketball and ran track alongside Rochester legend Trent Jackson. "Sports here have opened up everything for me," Lalka was quoted by the D&C. "I got caught in the wrong sport and didn't get rich, but the traveling … it opened things up. … At Franklin, there were blacks and Jewish and Italians and Ukrainians. Through sports, we learned to get along. If you scored 20 points [in a basketball game] on a Friday night, nobody cared where you came from."
Lalka was called into the U.S. national team and was one of the Lancers' early stars.
ALIVE AND KICKING details Lalka's career and many backgrounds of his teams from the American Soccer League and the North American Soccer League. That includes what was called the wild west days of professional and semi-pro soccer in the USA.

Package: libpangomm-1.4-1
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: There are 4 additional records. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.

A: I had the same problem, and solved by running:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt --fix-broken install

It seems that "libpango1.0-0" and "libgtkglext1" have not been installed, so there were errors with anydesk.
After the apt-get upgrade, the system recommended me to fix these error.

A: if you have downloaded the deb file than go to the directory where it is located and open the terminal and try this :
sudo dpkg -i anydesk_5.5.1-1_amd64.deb
if you still faces issues with dependencies execute the following command to install the required dependencies.
sudo apt-get install -f

A: Generally, directly installing some deb file should be your last choice when installing software on ubuntu. Better use their repository as suggested here:
obtain root priviledges

Feb. 9, 2017 - Luggard is one lucky elephant. When he was just a few months old, a pilot on anti-poaching patrol over Tsavo East National Park in Kenya spotted him struggling to keep up with his herd. Luggard had been shot in the hind leg and foot. While the exact reason for the shooting isn't known, it's possible Luggard's herd was wandering through Kenyan farmlands, a common cause of human-elephant conflict. Luggard received veterinary attention and was brought to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, an orphaned elephant rescue and rehabilitation center. There, Luggard received intensive medical treatments. Nine months later, Luggard is walking again. He'll eventually rejoin elephants in the Greater Tsavo Conservation Area, which is heavily protected from poachers.

Guerra de regalos (título original A War of Gifts: An Ender Story) es una novela de ciencia ficción del escritor estadounidense Orson Scott Card. La novela se desarrolla en el universo de la Saga de Ender y detalla la estancia de Ender en la Escuela de Batalla tal como describen las novelas El juego de Ender y La sombra de Ender.

Argumento

Guerra de regalos comienza en  Carolina del Norte donde Zechariah 'Zeck' Morgan, un chico con una memoria casi perfecta, vive con su familia. El padre de Zeck es un ministro cristinano de su iglesia y ha inculcado a su hijo en el pacifismo. Cuando la Flota Internacional pretende llevarse a su hijo a la Escuela de Batalla, la madre de Zeck ve la oportunidad perfecta para que su hijo escape de su abusivo padre .

En la Escuela de Batalla, los otros estudiantes toleran malamente a Zeck debido a sus fuertes prejuicios religiosos y a su negativa a luchar en la Sala de Batalla. En diciembre Zeck ve a un chico holandés poniendo un regalo del día de San Nicolás en el zapato de otro chico holandés. Debido a que las actividades religiosas incluyendo la oración y festivos está prohibido en la Escuela de Batalla y Zeck ha sido enseñado por su padre que Santa Claus es el mal, decide informar de los dos niños al Coronel Graff. Después de que el coronel llamara a los chicos para reprenderles, deciden rebelarse consiguiendo que todo el mundo celebre no la Navidad, pero si Santa Claus, ya que no es un símbolo religioso en el libro, sino uno secular. Cuando Zeck se queja a las autoridades, se niegan a hacer cualquier cosa.

Zeck va a los estudinates musulmanes y les indica que a los cristianos se les permite celebrar sus fiestas. Algunos de los estudiantes musulmanes comienzan sus oraciones diarias. Cuando la administración les fuerza a abandonarlas, los demás estudiantes dejar de darse regalos de Navidad entre sí. También se niegan a hablar con Zeck. Cuando él comienza a tener una crisis nerviosa a causa del aislamiento, Ender decide tener una charla con él. Al hacerlo, descubre que Zeck estaba desesperadamente tratando de ser enviado de vuelta a casa para poder proteger a su madre de su padre. Después Ender convence a Zeck que su madre no necesita ser protegida y le da un pequeño regalo de "Santa Claus". Cuando los otros estudiantes conocen que Zeck aceptó el regalo, dejan de ignorarle y lo vuelven a tolerar.

Significación y recepción literarias
Guerra de regalos no fue particularmente bien recibido por la crítica. La queja principal de la historia es que a pesar de que plantea las cuestiones de la fe, la libertad religiosa y la represión religiosa, lo hace de una manera muy superficial.  Algunos críticos han comentado también en el carácter de Ender Wiggin, que se describe como demasiado cristiano para ser creíble.

Conexión con "Ender's Stocking"

Capítulo 2 Ender's Stocking donde Peter pelea con su madre a través de la media de la Navidad que ha preparado para Ender mientras él está ausente en la Escuela de Batalla apareció originalmente en el cuento "Ender's Stocking" el cual fue publicado en octubre de 2007 en InterGalactic Medicine Show. Este capítulo ha sido criticada por parecer no estar relacionado con el resto del libro y para eludir el resto de la historia.

Conexión con el resto de parte de la Saga de Ender

En añadirura de lo explicado en "El juego de Ender" y "La sombra de Ender"., la reacción islámica en contra de las celebraciones de Navidad en explicada en esta novela siembra las semillas para la creación Califato de los alumnos musulmanes de la Escuela de Batalla quienes tendrán un papel decisivo en la Saga de las Sombras. Este es Alai, quien se convertirá en Califa.

Novelas de la Saga de Ender


An idea has been recurring to me that the full history of The Leftovers has not been written, and with LO5 coming soon, it is important to look back on our early struggles and write them down for posterity. As such, I am gathering information (dates, names, trivia, etc.) in order to write an informative history of LO and its alliances, so if there is any information you believe will be helpful to this epic, then please send it to me. Also, if others could write up their own experiences and send them to me, that will help me tremendously.
Welcome everyone, I am now approaching soon the 24 hour mark of being in Age 9, and I decided to give a preliminary report of the benefits and weaknesses I have discovered. If I discover any significant changes to this report, I will be sure to correct the relevant section. Matchmaking (defensive) I have noticed what appears to be an increase in strong opponents that zapped my crown total to 1640. None of them were able to destroy even 50%, but every time they got my keep. I believe that I have entered a subcategory of matchmaking that causes me to appear on more people's radar that I otherwise am not ready for. I recommend that defenses should be significantly upgraded before attempting to upgrade to Age 9, or you will suffer a loss of crowns like mine. (A possible reason for the strong attacks is that I am stacked when it comes to any kind of resource. In short, I am a resource paradise.) Matchmaking (offensive) In the section, I noticed few differences. I still encounter the normal Age 7-9 castles, but there are fewer encounters of Age 7 and only one encounter of an Age 9. As to the amount of resources, I have to next about 4 or 5 times. I see about average 30,000 resources for wood and food and about 10,000 in stone. The crowns offered on average did not make it worthwhile to risk loss. The power level (strength of towers) seemed to be at my level, but occasionally I would see a really advanced opponent. To sum this section up, there is no significant change in the attacking system, and the cost of food seems to have little affect if you have a successful attack. Additional Defenses Once I upgraded to Age 9, I received access to 10 walls, 1 archer tower, and the musket tower. As the musket tower costs way too much, I will probably be able to buy it in a few months. The addition of the 10 walls and archer tower have not proved significant to defense yet (I may actually need defensive layout advice to better the way I am using them). I can't say that they are worthless, but they are not a deal breaker. Miscellaneous Notes and Closing Remarks I do not regret upgrading to Age 9 because I did it for the prestige and the experience. I recommend upgrading to Age 9 only after having some awesome defenses put in place. Age 9 is not for the weak of heart, and if one does not properly prepare oneself, they will lose a lot of crowns from the very start. Sincerely, KJB1873 Emperor of the Leftovers Questions? Comments? Overly clever snide remarks? Let me know how I did!
The Leftovers Official Logo Contest Poll!
Sorry, shims, for waiting so long to release the candidates for the contest. I meant to have this up last Thursday, but it slipped my mind. The entries are within this link http://forums.computingondemand.com/topic/33624-the-leftovers-official-logo-contest/ . The poll will close on this coming Thursday, so be sure to get your vote in!
Oak, it was an honor knowing you in LO3 (and 4, I think). I can't wait to hear about what you will do in LO5. Keep up the good work! It is appreciated!
Thanks, Ghost! It was a nice run ( a run I wouldn't mind getting back into), but such is life. I will be back soon on the battlefield, so keep things going until my glorious return!
As my final act as emperor, I hereby declare the elections to begin! You know the rules. Watch as each fighter slings mud at shim's opponents and choose which one you believe most fit for Emperorhood. We got some great fights lined up for your entertainment, so sit back, enjoy the show, and vote!
I hope that wasn't a reference to my leadership skills, Ghost . A lot has changed since last time, but I am glad to see you back!
It was the ultimate Jerky act . I will miss our bantering sessions as well.
I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to give your opinion. After all, we won't kick you for it . What do you think?
lol, well it is now a tie again. Now sure if I am still the official Announcer of these elections, so who do we allow to win, my fellow Lords and Emperors? The well-traveled Starbeast, or the willing and able MAG? Both are great candidates, we just need a tie breaker!
haha! As long as it has a good entertainment room . I am ready to play some Bridge!
Thanks, Mike and MAG! I won't be gone forever, and I know that everything will go just fine with leadership being in other hands. I have fully supported each choice for emperor and lord, and I know that each will work towards growing LO farther. This is only a temporary goodbye, and I will return soon! Until then, good luck and happy hunting!
I can change the voting count to fix it for you, Wizard. I am fine if this goes into sudden death, but I will need an officiator since this is my last night.
Wow! That does look pretty nice!
Supposedly, the polls close today, as it is my last day before moving onto campus. We never had a tie before, so this is going to be interesting.
The best part is this: BBQ wasn't even at the meeting when Mike accidently misspelled your name! Out of all of us who participated in your new name, BBQ is the least blameless!
BBQ is correct, the higher you go in crowns, the harder it is to just remain level. My main account fluctuates at the moment between 1300 and 1900, whilst my alt can barely stay in 1000-1100 range. However, it is good to set goals for an alliance to grow, such as crown minimums that are slowly increased over time. P.S. Hey, I got tagged in the post! Yay!
Hey M4d, did you notice that you are an "enhanced member"? I only just now noticed!
Glad to see you above surface, Kronic!
Yay! I am glad for you, MAG, and what a way to start back!
Sorry, BBQ! I saw that and forgot the original poster. You are correct in what you say! I am glad we did away with the tier system.

Q: Get specific information from a log file I want to get some parts from my log file, I tried to cut request part for to get the user, module, action, doAjax and ajaxAction
For example, I have
195.xx.x.x - - [25/Apr/2017:09:60:xx +0200] "POST /userx/index.php?m=contacts&a=form&...
192.xx.x.x - - [25/Apr/2017:09:45:xx +0200] "POST /usery/index.php?m=customer&doajax=request&action=getContacts...
197.xx.x.x - - [25/Apr/2017:09:20:xx +0200] "GET /userx/index.php?m=meeting&doajax=date&id=3

and I want to have:
[user]|[module]|[action]|[doAjax]|[ajaxAction]
usery  contacts  form     null     null
userx  customer  null     request  getContacts
userz  meeting   null     date     null

Where:
userx --> user
m=xxx -->module
a=xxx -->action
doajax=xxx-->doAjax
action=xxx-->ajaxAction

I tried to use awk, set but for to cut just the 7th column where I can find my request with this command:
awk '{printf $7; next ; }' logfile

So How can I do for to extract the user, module, action, doAjax and ajaxAction after to print just my request?

A: A perl "one-liner":
$ perl -lne '
BEGIN{
    printf "%-10s%-10s%-10s%-10s%-15s\n", qw([user] [module] [action] [doAjax] [ajaxAction]);
}
$usr = $mde = $act = $doAj = $ajAc = "null";
$usr=$1 if m|\s/([^/]+)/|;
$mde=$1 if /m=(.+?)(&|$)/;
$act=$1 if /a=(.+?)(&|$)/;
$doAj=$1 if /doajax=(.+?)(&|$)/;
$ajAc=$1 if /action=(.+?)(&|$)/;
printf "%-10s%-10s%-10s%-10s%-15s\n", ($usr,$mde,$act,$doAj,$ajAc)' file
[user]    [module]  [action]  [doAjax]  [ajaxAction]
userx     contacts  form      null      null
usery     customer  null      request   getContacts
userx     meeting   null      date      null

The basic trick here is to search for each of the strings identifying your URL parts and, if found, set the corresponding variable to it. In each case, we look for the identifier followed by an = (e.g. m=) and then either a & or the end of the line (&|$). Because the matched portion is put in a parenthesis (e.g. m=(.+?)), we can then refer to it as $2 and that's what's saved in each variable.
If you really need to have | as a separator, and don't object to the fact that it will make the output less readable, you can use this instead:
$ perl -lne '
BEGIN{
    printf "%s|%s|%s|%s|%s\n", qw([user] [module] [action] [doAjax] [ajaxAction]);
}
$usr = $mde = $act = $doAj = $ajAc = "null";
$usr=$1 if m|\s/([^/]+)/|;
$mde=$1 if /m=(.+?)(&|$)/;
$act=$1 if /a=(.+?)(&|$)/;
$doAj=$1 if /doajax=(.+?)(&|$)/;
$ajAc=$1 if /action=(.+?)(&|$)/;
print join "|", ($usr,$mde,$act,$doAj,$ajAc)' file
[user]|[module]|[action]|[doAjax]|[ajaxAction]
userx|contacts|form|null|null
usery|customer|null|request|getContacts
userx|meeting|null|date|null

A better (more readable output) approach would be to use printf instead:

A: If you prefer to do this in awk, you can do as follows. Split lets you split a string with any field separator.
awk  '{split($7,a,"/"); split(a[3],b,"m="); split(b[2],c,"&"); split(c[2],d,"="); print a[2], c[1], d[1], d[2] }' logfile

This generates the desired columns.
userx contacts a form
usery customer doajax request
userx meeting doajax date

The remaining step is to format. Arrays in awk are associative, and can be indexed with strings - see here. You can do the following; here, op (short for output) is initialized to null. Then, we set op[d[1]]=d[2].
awk  '{split($7,a,"/"); split(a[3],b,"m="); split(b[2],c,"&"); split(c[2],d,"="); op["a"]="null"; op["doajax"]="null"; op["ajaxaction"]="null"; op[d[1]]=d[2];print a[2], c[1], op["a"], op["doajax"], op["ajaxaction"] }' junk.txt

[modified to]
awk  '{split($7,a,"/"); split(a[3],b,"m="); split(b[2],c,"&"); split(c[2],d,"="); op["a"]="null"; op["doajax"]="null"; op["action"]="null"; op[d[1]]=d[2]; split(c[3],f,"="); split(f[2],g,"."); op[f[1]]=g[1]; print a[2], c[1], op["a"], op["doajax"], op["action"] }' junk.txt

Output is as follows
userx contacts form null null
usery customer null request getContacts
userx meeting null date null

A: perl -lane '
BEGIN {
   print $H = join "|", map { s/.*/[$&]/r } @H = qw/user module action doAjax ajaxAction/;
   pos($H) = 0;
   push(@pos, pos($H)-$p), $p=pos($H) while $H =~ /\[/g;
   $fmt = join "", map { "\%-${_}s" } @pos[1..$#pos], length($H)-$p;
}

   my(%h, %H) = $F[-1] =~ /[?&]\K([^=]+)=([^&]+)/g;
   @H{@H} = ($F[-1] =~ m|^/([^/]+)|, @h{qw/m a doajax action/});
   print sprintf $fmt, map { $H{$_} // "null" } @H;
' logfile

Results
[user]|[module]|[action]|[doAjax]|[ajaxAction]
userx  contacts form     null     null
usery  customer null     request  getContacts
userx  meeting  null     date     null

Explanation

*

*Perl options:
-l  makes ORS = RS = \n
-a stores fields in array @F obtained by splitting current record on /\s+/, so e.g., $F[0] => $1, $F[1] => $2, ..., $F[-1] => $NF
-n  sets up an implicit loop which reads the input file line by line AND no output unless asked for.

*BEGIN block:
First we print the header. Then we determine the format dynamically based on the header. For every line read, we setup a hash %h whose keys are the strings before = and values are the string after =. The string to be looked at is abutted by ? or & on the left and & on the right. Next, we set up another hash %H whose keys are renamed versions of %h hash. Next we print the hash based on the format we computed in BEGIN block.


Although Chris Isaak sings "I'm the original American boy" during the opening of his Showtime series The Chris Isaak Show, it may well be the theme song of his band's drummer, Kenney Dale Johnson.
Born in the Panhandle town of Borger, Texas, in 1955, Johnson survived a typical, happy childhood, then went off to college. His experience with higher learning, however, was anything but typical. Johnson found himself at UT in the midst of a thriving Seventies music scene in Austin. This, of course, left him little choice but to pick up his drumsticks and join in. On the eve of the Chris Isaak band's first national tour since 1999, Johnson called from Irvine, Calif., to reminisce about his journey from Soap Creek to Showtime.
Austin's halcyon days as a scene were at hand when Johnson arrived. "I remember going out to Soap Creek and seeing Clifton Chenier or the Meters and going, 'Oh my God! I can't believe how good this is!' That club was such a cool place. If it rained, you might get your car stuck; you'd have to leave early to get out since the last quarter mile was nothin' but dirt."
Johnson loved Austin's music and clubs, but one thought nagged at him as he watched the endless stream of bands: "I'd go out to clubs and think, 'I'm as good as that guy!' So I brought down my drum kit." By 1974, the band he joined was headlining the same clubs he'd patronized only months before.
Steam Heat was a one-of-a-kind band, a funky fusion of jazz, rock, and blues. Two charismatic frontmen traded vocals: the lean, bearded Bruce Spelman and the brawny, bespectacled Phil Ritcherson, who doubled as a horn player. Early members also included Johnson, guitarist Mike Barnes, and keyboardist Neil Pederson. Their repertoire mixed Little Feat and Gil Scott-Heron with the occasional original composition, musical sets meaty enough to land them a weekly gig at Soap Creek.
"Steam Heat played Al Green, James Brown. Paul Ray & the Cobras played more shuffles and stuff, with Stevie [Ray Vaughan] on guitar -- he wasn't singing much then. They played on Tuesdays, we played Wednesdays. And I can't even begin to remember how many incredible shows Steam Heat opened at the Armadillo. Gil Scott-Heron to Roy Buchanan. Amazing stuff.
"Then you'd go over to the One Knite and see Jimmie Vaughan's band. I remember in the men's restroom there, the graffiti read, 'We aim to please. You aim, too, please,'" chuckles Johnson. "I'll never forget that. Any night there was astounding."
Austin's jazz scene of the day percolated with bands like the Electromagnets, featuring a young Eric Johnson. The Fable record label was home to bands like Starcrost, 47X Its Own Weight, Beto y los Fairlanes, Jazzmanian Devil, and a variety of other non-country, non-blues bands. In 1975, Steam Heat released their first album for the label, Austin Funk, which enjoyed much local success. By 1977, the band had changed its name to Extreme Heat and Johnson moved on.
"I played with Steve Fromholz. He had a great circuit into Louisiana, Colorado, all these little towns in Texas. I played with Ed Guinn and Bob Brown in Texoid, for about a minute. But Fromholz was my first exposure to real touring."
Gigs were good, but Johnson began looking westward. "I have no idea why I went to California. I was happy in Texas. I guess it was just restlessness. Truthfully, when I got to San Francisco, the scene wasn't as happening as Austin. I played around San Francisco a long time before I joined with Chris."
To the young Texan, the West Coast of the late Seventies and early Eighties was a new experience. Johnson found work in pickup bands for touring legends like Bo Diddley and Ronnie Spector. A friend tipped off Johnson that a singer-songwriter named Chris Isaak was putting together a band and needed a drummer. Johnson auditioned and won the slot.
The stickman quickly found himself in the biggest pond of small fish: an aspiring band with a major label contract. Silvertone, the name Isaak used for the group, released three albums of moody, mostly original, romantic songs, two for Warner Bros. before moving to Reprise. Isaak's sulky, matinee-idol good looks, mellow tenor, and shimmering, love-you-baby compositions attracted good notices, but sales were languishing. Then the jackpot hit.
Director David Lynch needed a song for his film Wild at Heart and discovered "Wicked Game," a tune from Isaak's third LP, Heart Shaped World. Lynch used a brooding instrumental version in the film, with MTV jumping on the bandwagon by picking up a vocal video of the song. Originally, "Wicked Game" featured clips from the film, but was soon replaced with a black-and-white video by Herb Ritts that found Isaak and model Helena Christensen rolling around Hawaii's beaches. The song went to No. 6 on the national charts.
"'Wicked Game' changed everything," states Johnson. "We'd had a little success in Europe, but once it was a hit, everything was different. It made so much possible that wasn't before. People wanted to hear us."
Suddenly, Chris Isaak had clout. Not only did Silvertone collect a string of Bay Area Music Awards, they were regulars on The Tonight Show and Letterman. Director Jonathan Demme cast Isaak in a small role in Married to the Mob then Silence of the Lambs, and Lynch put him in Twin Peaks. "Wicked Game" won three MTV Video Awards, and Heart Shaped World went platinum. Silvertone was golden.
San Francisco Days (1993), Forever Blue ('95), Baja Sessions ('96), and Speak of the Devil ('98) followed. Silvertone was Grammy-nominated, continued to win more Bammies, and Isaak's cinematic profile (That Thing You Do, Grace of My Heart, Friends, Little Buddha) kept the band in the spotlight. Then came Showtime.
Inspired by the comedy routines Silvertone developed for their concerts, The Chris Isaak Show was born. Like The Monkees, the series plays off the natural camaraderie of Isaak, Johnson, and fellow band members Rowland Salley and Hershel Yatovitz. As with HBO's The Larry Sanders Show, the on-and-offstage life of performers is the concept. The show has been as big a hit as "Wicked Game," and Johnson, who admits to being "a hambone," adds a new credential to his résumé: TV star. It's been a most unexpected facet to a jewel of a career.
"Chris and I go through the scripts every week and try to put in our own jokes. A lot of that stuff is based on things that have happened over the years. All the toilet humor is ours. All the poignant stuff is the writers'.
"We shoot it in Vancouver, Monday through Friday. It takes eight days to do an episode. On a typical day, I go to the trailer with lines memorized, hopefully. I put on the clothes selected for me and get my hair and make-up done. Then I go over the lines with the director and they block the scene. Then they light it. That takes for-freakin'-ever. Then we shoot it! After that, it's either the next scene or go home.
"I'm a lot funnier and easier to be around on the TV show," jokes Johnson about the challenge of playing himself. "They write you nicer than reality."
The hit cable series is also shown in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, offering international fame. Isaak and Silvertone recorded the show's theme, "American Boy," for their latest album, Always Got Tonight. Now that art is imitating life, is that going to change the way audiences perceive the music? Kenney Dale Johnson has a simple answer.


I have been working on an idea for a new quilt.
I am using some fabric I especially dyed for it combined with black and white and blue plain fabric.
And yesterday I started slowly putting it together.
We are surrounded by earthquake information at the moment and this piece will be titled "Epicenter" when its finished. Hopefully ready to be stitched by the end of the week - watch this space.
And then suddenly I remember some ideas I had maybe 12 months ago, searched them out and was left thinking . . . . . . . . . .
You know, there must be so many ideas and memories running about in everybody's head not just mine. I can remember doing this and thinking, "This is so cool," and "How would I make/piece/construct this?" I put it on Facebook and someone said, "Just try." I didn't, "Too hard I said." But now . . . . . . . I am so glad I remembered these ideas, maybe I will use more of them.
How does your process for design and planning work?

[Review] The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
spawn622 posted a article in Reviews
The latest game takes us back to the Hyrule from the SNES days. It not only takes us back there, but literally uses the exact same map from A Link To The Past and this is my only extremely minor complaint with the game. The map felt all too familiar and a tad bit lazy on Nintendo's part. While this was a very slight downside to the game, it is in no way a detriment to the game and can also be viewed as strong suite. Much like a well worn pair of underpants, slipping back in to this world feels great. Yes, I'm aware of the contradiction in terms here, but if you're under 20 years old and not in
