Q: Preference Activity I am creating a settings activity for my android application, one of the options it to allow password or not, I do not just want that option to be checked anyhow so I want it to ask for a password before changing the preference. I want a Dialog fragment to pop up and ask for the password before the preference changes, after changing, the onPreferenceChange method should be called and if the password is correct the preference can change by returning true;
The issue is that my settings fragment cannot recognize getFragmentManager()  and even if I do getActivity.getFragmentManager it gives an error that the preferencefragment cannot be cast to the dialog. The dialog works for normal activities in the project but not the preference fragment.
This is the dialogfragment showing where the activity is to be casted
public class password_dialog extends DialogFragment {
public interface PasswordDialogListener {
    void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog, String password);

    void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog);
}

PasswordDialogListener mListener;

@Override
public void onAttach(Context activity) {
    super.onAttach(activity);
    // Verify that the host activity implements the callback interface
    try {
        // Instantiate the PasswordDialogListener so we can send events to the host
        mListener = (PasswordDialogListener) activity;
    } catch (Exception e) {
      Log.e("dialog",e.getMessage());
    }
}

.
.
.
This is the main code of the preference fragment the class extends extends PreferenceFragmentCompat and implements Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener, password_dialog.PasswordDialogListener
 @Override
public void onCreatePreferences(Bundle savedInstanceState, String rootKey) {
    addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
    Preference preference = findPreference(getString(R.string.printSetting));

    /*****Realm*****/
    Realm.init(getActivity());
    realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();

    preference.setOnPreferenceChangeListener(this);
}

@Override
public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object newValue) {
    DialogFragment PasswordDialogFragment = new password_dialog();
    PasswordDialogFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "Password");

    if (passwordIsCorrect) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }

}

And because of that it gives a null pointer exception because mListener is not initialized.

A:
Since you are only facing the error to getFragmentManager().
try to change your code from getFragmentManager() to
  getSupportFragmentManager() instead.

hope this will help.

A: You're mixing support and not support classes. When you're importing a class IDE suggest you to import one of two classes with the same name:

As you already use PreferenceFragmentCompat(which is class from support library) you should use support fragment related classes:
import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v7.preference.Preference;
import android.support.v7.preference.PreferenceFragmentCompat;

public class PreferenceFragment extends PreferenceFragmentCompat implements Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener {

    @Override public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object o) {
        FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
        DialogFragment PasswordDialogFragment = get();
        PasswordDialogFragment.show(fragmentManager, "Password");
        return true;
    }
}

I'm so excited by a new project I am undertaking with my very favorite project buddy, and wonderful friend, Cory Janiak. It's called "a rooted flow", which is akin to the quote by Virginia Woolf, "I am rooted but I flow."
It's a simple thing really. Cory provides us with a concept which have been randomly assigned, in her highly efficient scientific way, to each week for a year. We then respond to that concept visually and with words. Simple but ripe for profound discovery. It's a way for us to connect, to ourselves and to each other.
She lives on the east coast, I on the west. She had her son in late December 2013; I had mine 8 years ago. She is a scientist; I am an artist. But, we both love the sea, we are both long-time vegetarians, we love our cameras, we seek out the creative as a context in which to live our lives, we think about things in meaningful ways, we seek out an appreciation for the moment, we are supportive and generous, and we love projects. Aren't we lucky we found each other?

Arbitration of Fiduciary Breach Claim Cannot Be Compelled by Relying on Individual Employment Agreements
In Hawkins, et al. v. Cintas Corp., No. 21-3156, __ F.4d __ (2022), plaintiffs brought a class action pursuant to Section 502(a)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), alleging that their former employer and other fiduciaries breached the fiduciary duties owed to the plan. The employer moved to compel arbitration, arguing that the claims must be arbitrated pursuant to the arbitration provisions in employment agreements signed by plaintiffs. The district court denied the employer's motion to compel arbitration.
On appeal, the Sixth Circuit affirmed, acknowledging that this case presented issues of first impression. According to the Court:
The Sixth Circuit has not yet determined whether ERISA claims are subject to arbitration, but all circuit courts that have considered the issue have held that ERISA claims are generally arbitrable. Nonetheless, because the parties' failed to argue that ERISA claims could not be arbitrated, the court declined to specifically address that issue.
The arbitration agreements—to which only plaintiffs are bound—did not compel arbitration of the Section 502(a)(2) fiduciary breach claims because the claims belong to the plan.
Arbitration of these Section 502(a)(2) claims cannot be compelled without the plan's consent. Plan participants cannot unilaterally bind the plan to an arbitration in the absence of an arbitration provision in the plan or some other manifestation of the plan's consent to arbitrate. In this case, nothing indicated that the plan consented to arbitration. The court rejected the employer's argument that it, being the plan sponsor, could consent to arbitration on its behalf.
Hawkins demonstrates the scrutiny placed upon arbitration of ERISA claims. Although employees may have signed a broad arbitration agreement, that does not necessarily mean that certain ERISA claims are subject to arbitration. Employers wanting to ensure that ERISA claims brought on the plan's behalf are subject to arbitration should review their plan documentation to make sure that it sufficiently manifests the plan's consent to arbitrate.
As always, please contact the authors or your Miller Canfield attorney if you have any questions.

Spring Fling Comes Back to Campus
It's back! Spring Fling will be back on campus next semester!
That's right. The largest student-run carnival in the in the nation will be back on our dorm-steps.
After ten years at Rillito Downs, members of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA) look forward to the move back to the UA Mall for the 40th anniversary. "We wanted to celebrate the 40th anniversary at the place where Spring Fling was conceived and where it was held for the first 25 years before it was moved off campus," says Jared Young, Spring Fling Executive Director.
The first Spring Fling was held in 1974 on the mall and continued there until the construction of the Manuel Pacheco Integrated Learning Center moved it four miles north of campus; a move that caused dips in attendance and revenue.
But we bring home the tradition this spring with open arms and high expectations. The Spring Fling staff anticipates an increase in numbers from past years as the move back to campus will allow students to step out of class and support their clubs and organizations right in their backyard. Young also expects an energy on campus that has been different from any he's ever experienced. "It's going to be something that many people have not seen – even those who have worked here for the past 20 years. It's going to be magical," he says.
To make sure that it is a magical experience for all, Young and his team have met with members of the university and the community throughout the past couple of years to discuss and address any concerns. "We've created a comprehensive set of plans to make sure that every single contingency plan is accounted for, that we have a plan for every single possible thing that could happen and know how to mitigate any problems that do arise."
The event will run start on Friday, April 11th and run through Sunday rather than the traditional Thursday through Sunday. To ease traffic and parking concerns, Young and his team plan to offer complimentary parking to select campus lots and provide designated parking and drop-off areas for guests. Bike valet may also be offered. The surrounding neighborhood will receive information packets and be given access to a hotline available for any concerns.
In honor of the anniversary, the Spring Fling team is hoping to bring history back to life with photos, stories and memories of past years. They are asking attendees past and present to send theirs to sfanniversaryemail.arizona.edu ()
Everyone is working tirelessly to deliver a flawless event because as Young reminds his team every week, Spring Fling is first and foremost a major fundraising event for the more than 500 UA clubs and organizations. For most of the participants, this is their biggest fundraising opportunity of the year. "This how they fund their programming, scholarships, events and so much more," says Young.
The importance of Spring Fling reflects not only through the clubs and orgs, but also throughout campus and the Tucson community: the money raised goes right back into projects within the community and on campus. Plus, everyone can enjoy the food, games and rides. It's a really great way to bring the city together and it's here to stay – hopefully on campus!


Happy Together tells the story of a famous pop star that ends up living with a suburban couple in an effort to live an ordinary life. It may be just a wacky concept for a sitcom, but for executive producer Ben Winston the story hits close to home…very close to home.
During the CBS session at TCA Sunday, Winston was joined on the stage by sitcom stars Felix Mallard, Damon Wayans Jr., and Amber Stevens West as well as executive producers Tim McAuliffe and Austen Earl. Winston shared his story about how One Direction band member Harry Styles lived in the attic of his London home. Styles was supposed to stay for two weeks but then ended up setting up shop at their abode for 18 months. Winston said that although his experience with Styles wasn't as eventful as many may think, it would provide for a good story for a sitcom.
"What happened with Harry and I is just the concept," added Winston. "Fundamentally, what you're looking at is a mid-30s couple losing their youth and they are seeing the epitome of youth" with Mallard's pop star character. He said that it is very much a story about a guy in the public eye seeking normalcy and a suburban couple seeking some excitement in their lives.
"The show is about relationships and relatability and the sort of family these three people make," said Wayans, Jr.
West said that Mallard's Cooper James always makes you happy — like a human Labrador. "When you see him and he's fun to have around," she said.
When it comes to looking down the road for the sitcom, Earl said that like Winston's relationship with Styles, Happy Together the relationship between Wayans, Jr. & West and Cooper was a sort of an experiment that ended up as a family and he definitely sees them living together for a long time — maybe two or three seasons.
Written by McAuliffe and Earl and directed by Phill Lewis, Happy Together revolves around Peter (Wayans) and Claire (West), a thirtysomething couple who are tired of their mundane life and start to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when an emerging pop star (Mallard), who is drawn to their super-normal suburban life, moves in. Cast also includes Stephnie Weir and Chris Parnell.
McAuliffe and Earl executive produce with Winston via Fulwell 73, Styles and 3 Arts Entertainment's Michael Rotenberg and Jonathan Berry.
Happy Together premieres on Monday, Oct. 1.

Today I want to share one of my favorite skills with you! Giving choices. This skill is awesome, because it helps kids become more compliant, and it's a ton of fun. Why should we give choices? Children (and people in general) crave freedom. Most people hate being bossed around. Isn't that our job as parents though? Not necessarily.
Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D., explain, "One big parental temptation is to make decisions for our kids, so that they consistently do the right thing. But as often as possible, we need to give them practice at making decisions for themselves." (Whole-Brain Child, p. 53) They go on to explain that offering choices gives children a chance to practice weighing different options and their outcomes. We do need to guide and teach our children, but in a way that respects their freedom. We can accomplish that by giving them choices within limits.
One night I was babysitting an adorable two year old boy. We had a lots of fun together. When the time came, I said, "Ok, time for bed!" His mood changed in the blink of an eye. "I don't want to," he said with a frown. "I'm sorry to hear that," I replied. "Would you like to go down the stairs by yourself, or do you want me to carry you like an airplane?" He chose to go by himself. Then I gave him a choice about every step to getting ready for bed.
Do you want to brush your own teeth, or have me do it?
Which book do you want me to read?
Which song should we sing?
Do you want the door open or shut?
I walked away, and he stayed in bed. This is choices within limits. I didn't allow negotiation about going to bed, but I gave choices about everything leading up to it.
I also used choices as a teacher! My 2nd graders' eyes would light up when I gave choices like: you may start at the beginning of this worksheet, or start at the end and go backward, or would you like to do push-ups or sit-ups first during P.E? I would have two review games ready. The class loved getting to choose which one we played.
Older kids love to be given choices too. You can have them choose when they will finish their chores. (Just make sure that you hold them accountable to it!) They can choose which extra-curricular activities to participate in. Give them a few different options of chores to be responsible for.
It can be hard to remember to give choices before there is a problem. It helps to make it a habit. Give choices all. the. time. about everything. It will also help to prepare in advance. Think of a few times when your child frequently misbehaves. Some common ones are bedtime, leaving a fun place, and chores. Now write down as many choices as you can think of for these circumstances. Next time you are in one of these situations, give choices before your child resists. Here is an example of this exercise.
Situation: Leaving a friend's house. You need to leave at 1:30.
Do you want to walk or crawl like a dog to the door?
Do you want to give your friend a hug or no hug?
Will you put your shoes on, or should I help you?
Do you want to hold my hand as we walk to the car or no?
It can be really fun to use this technique! Your kids (or students) will love having more freedom. I'm sure you and your kids will also have a lot of fun doing silly choices. As you implement this skill, remember that it might not make a huge difference right away. Be consistent, and give it some time.

Do you feel like a jerk when you discipline? Try this skill.
« Don't Forget to Smile!
I feel like I give my spirited child several choices but I'm going to try to do more like you suggested. Thanks!
It can make a big difference! Especially when they get to make decisions about things that matter to them. Good luck!

Longtime friend Bill Evans announced his death early Sunday in a NY hospital of complications from pneumonia.
The cause of death was complications with pneumonia, according to a statement from public relations firm DKC/O&M. His wife, Elaine Joyce Simon, was at his bedside along with his daughters, Ellen Simon and Nancy Simon.
Over the course of a prolific career that included more than 30 plays - including hits "The Odd Couple" and "Barefoot in the Park" - and multiple accolades, Simon drew on the sometimes-unexpected comedy lurking in the lives of middle-class Americans, inspiring laughs of recognition from vast audiences. He also wrote other famous hits including Barefoot in the Park, Promises, Promises, and more.
Simon received the Pulitzer Prize in 1991 for "Lost in Yonkers", which also earned him a Tony Award. He had four shows on Broadway at the same time at one point, and that was only a portion of his work ethic.
- Tony Award-winning actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein, via Twitter.
Tibbetts had been staying at her boyfriend Dalton Jack's home in Brooklyn while he was working a construction job 120 miles away. The black Chevy Malibu drove back and forth numerous times before it just started following her, according to an affidavit.
He was nominated for an Oscar for the latter, as well as for the films of California Suite, The Sunshine Boys, and The Odd Couple.
"The Odd Couple", Simon's play about two mismatched bachelors who share a NY apartment, has had a particularly remarkable life.
Besides Sweet Charity (1966) and Promises, Promises (1968), Simon wrote the books for several other musicals.
The first play Simon wrote was 1961's "Come Blow Your Horn", which ran on Broadway for more than a year to favorable reviews. I didn't realize until someone said after the first reading that the play was really a love letter to my mother!
Simon was a powerhouse in the American theater world. The show marked "his last major success on Broadway", according to The New York Times.
Simon said he misjudged the work. "Laughter on the 23rd Floor". Simon's wife of 20 years, Joan Baim, died of cancer in 1973, after which he married actress Marsha Mason, who starred in the 1979 film version of "Chapter Two".
His semi-autobiographical trilogy - "Brighton Beach Memoirs", "Biloxi Blues" and "Broadway Bound - was a fixture on Broadway in the 1980s".
In the second half of the 20th century, Simon was the American theater's most successful and prolific playwrights, often chronicling middle class issues and fears.
Many of his plays were adapted into movies and one, The Odd Couple, became a popular TV series. He was also a Kennedy Center honoree in 1995 and won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor in 2006.

The Darkness series is one of my favourites so I am excited to be able to host author, Stacey Marie Brown on the blog today to share with us the Darkness series music inspiration; it's a great playlist!
Music was and is a huge part of writing the Darkness Series. The songs below immediately take me to the mood and feeling I want when writing. It will keep growing as the series continues. There are some songs by The White Strips, Imagine Dragons, and the Fall Out Boys that are good for getting into my action/fight scenes. Eli's theme song when it comes to Ember is "Run Right Back" by the Black Keys. When I want to get into his mind I listen to "Evil Ways". Ember's for Eli is "Howl" and to get into her head is "Demons" and "Radioactive".
Music can change your mood; affect how you see something…What is the song which really gets to you? Good or bad.
Life has become further complicated for Ember since returning from the Otherworld. Besides being continuously hunted by the Seelie Queen, Ember is at the top of the Unseelie King's list, after breaking her oath with him. No one breaks a vow with the Unseelie King without extreme consequences.
I read the first book. It was pretty good.
This sounds like a great series. Adding it to my TBR list.
Discovering an author's music playlist is great fun because it lets readers in on their state of mind when they wrote the book, and what an eclectic mix! I wasn't familiar with this series until now, but I just won an Amazon gift card this morning via a newsletter, and I think I know what titles I'm going to buy!
I love looking at an author's playlist for their books, it is so interesting and so much fun.
These sound good, and I like the playlist. Sadly I cannot read and listen..mainly because i start singing like an idiot!


The Institute of Computational Technologies of SB RAS (ICT SB RAS), Novosibirsk, Russia The article devoted to the developing the software package for the processing radar images. It consider the ability of the visualization, configuration and running algorithms of main stages of the Persistent Scatterer method. The integration with the massively parallel processing system had shown the fast execution of calculations of the ground displacement algorithm. The paper includes main scheme of data streams routing in the Apache Spark tasks to demonstrate the network data swapping between system components in the real-time calculations. The software implementation presented as a web portal based on ReactJS+Redux components, including the automatic downloading and updating the Sentinel-1A radar database within native RESTful API. Using the approach of the Apache Spark code development paradigm allowed achieving the high performance in low execution time of calculation stages.

Robert Johnson was an essentially commonplace man, with no feature to distinguish him from a million others. He was pale of face, ordinary in looks, neutral in opinions, thirty years of age, and a married man. By trade he was a gentleman's outfitter in the New North Road, and the competition of business squeezed out of him the little character that was left. In his hope of conciliating customers he had become cringing and pliable, until working ever in the same routine from day to day he seemed to have sunk into a soulless machine rather than a man. No great question had ever stirred him. At the end of this snug century, self-contained in his own narrow circle, it seemed impossible that any of the mighty, primitive passions of mankind could ever reach him. Yet birth, and lust, and illness, and death are changeless things, and when one of these harsh facts springs out upon a man at some sudden turn of the path of life, it dashes off for the moment his mask of civilisation and gives a glimpse of the stranger and stronger face below.
Johnson's wife was a quiet little woman, with brown hair and gentle ways. His affection for her was the one positive trait in his character. Together they would lay out the shop window every Monday morning, the spotless shirts in their green cardboard boxes below, the neckties above hung in rows over the brass rails, the cheap studs glistening from the white cards at either side, while in the background were the rows of cloth caps and the bank of boxes in which the more valuable hats were screened from the sunlight. She kept the books and sent out the bills. No one but she knew the joys and sorrows which crept into his small life. She had shared his exultations when the gentleman who was going to India had bought ten dozen shirts and an incredible number of collars, and she had been as stricken as he when, after the goods had gone, the bill was returned from the hotel address with the intimation that no such person had lodged there. For five years they had worked, building up the business, thrown together all the more closely because their marriage had been a childless one. Now, however, there were signs that a change was at hand, and that speedily. She was unable to come downstairs, and her mother, Mrs. Peyton, came over from Camberwell to nurse her and to welcome her grandchild.
Little qualms of anxiety came over Johnson as his wife's time approached. However, after all, it was a natural process. Other men's wives went through it unharmed, and why should not his? He was himself one of a family of fourteen, and yet his mother was alive and hearty. It was quite the exception for anything to go wrong. And yet in spite of his reasonings the remembrance of his wife's condition was always like a sombre background to all his other thoughts.
Dr. Miles of Bridport Place, the best man in the neighbourhood, was retained five months in advance, and, as time stole on, many little packets of absurdly small white garments with frill work and ribbons began to arrive among the big consignments of male necessities. And then one evening, as Johnson was ticketing the scarfs in the shop, he heard a bustle upstairs, and Mrs. Peyton came running down to say that Lucy was bad and that she thought the doctor ought to be there without delay.
It was not Robert Johnson's nature to hurry. He was prim and staid and liked to do things in an orderly fashion. It was a quarter of a mile from the corner of the New North Road where his shop stood to the doctor's house in Bridport Place. There were no cabs in sight so he set off upon foot, leaving the lad to mind the shop. At Bridport Place he was told that the doctor had just gone to Harman Street to attend a man in a fit. Johnson started off for Harman Street, losing a little of his primness as he became more anxious. Two full cabs but no empty ones passed him on the way. At Harman Street he learned that the doctor had gone on to a case of measles, fortunately he had left the address—69 Dunstan Road, at the other side of the Regent's Canal. Robert's primness had vanished now as he thought of the women waiting at home, and he began to run as hard as he could down the Kingsland Road. Some way along he sprang into a cab which stood by the curb and drove to Dunstan Road. The doctor had just left, and Robert Johnson felt inclined to sit down upon the steps in despair.
Fortunately he had not sent the cab away, and he was soon back at Bridport Place. Dr. Miles had not returned yet, but they were expecting him every instant. Johnson waited, drumming his fingers on his knees, in a high, dim lit room, the air of which was charged with a faint, sickly smell of ether. The furniture was massive, and the books in the shelves were sombre, and a squat black clock ticked mournfully on the mantelpiece. It told him that it was half-past seven, and that he had been gone an hour and a quarter. Whatever would the women think of him! Every time that a distant door slammed he sprang from his chair in a quiver of eagerness. His ears strained to catch the deep notes of the doctor's voice. And then, suddenly, with a gush of joy he heard a quick step outside, and the sharp click of the key in the lock. In an instant he was out in the hall, before the doctor's foot was over the threshold.
"If you please, doctor, I've come for you," he cried; "the wife was taken bad at six o'clock."
He hardly knew what he expected the doctor to do. Something very energetic, certainly—to seize some drugs, perhaps, and rush excitedly with him through the gaslit streets. Instead of that Dr. Miles threw his umbrella into the rack, jerked off his hat with a somewhat peevish gesture, and pushed Johnson back into the room.
"Let's see! You DID engage me, didn't you?" he asked in no very cordial voice.
"Oh, yes, doctor, last November. Johnson the outfitter, you know, in the New North Road."
"Yes, yes. It's a bit overdue," said the doctor, glancing at a list of names in a note-book with a very shiny cover. "Well, how is she?"
"I don't—"
"Ah, of course, it's your first. You'll know more about it next time."
"Mrs. Peyton said it was time you were there, sir."
"My dear sir, there can be no very pressing hurry in a first case. We shall have an all-night affair, I fancy. You can't get an engine to go without coals, Mr. Johnson, and I have had nothing but a light lunch."
"We could have something cooked for you—something hot and a cup of tea."
"Thank you, but I fancy my dinner is actually on the table. I can do no good in the earlier stages. Go home and say that I am coming, and I will be round immediately afterwards."
A sort of horror filled Robert Johnson as he gazed at this man who could think about his dinner at such a moment. He had not imagination enough to realise that the experience which seemed so appallingly important to him, was the merest everyday matter of business to the medical man who could not have lived for a year had he not, amid the rush of work, remembered what was due to his own health. To Johnson he seemed little better than a monster. His thoughts were bitter as he sped back to his shop.
"You've taken your time," said his mother-in-law reproachfully, looking down the stairs as he entered.
"I couldn't help it!" he gasped. "Is it over?"
"Over! She's got to be worse, poor dear, before she can be better. Where's Dr. Miles!"
"He's coming after he's had dinner." The old woman was about to make some reply, when, from the half-opened door behind a high whinnying voice cried out for her. She ran back and closed the door, while Johnson, sick at heart, turned into the shop. There he sent the lad home and busied himself frantically in putting up shutters and turning out boxes. When all was closed and finished he seated himself in the parlour behind the shop. But he could not sit still. He rose incessantly to walk a few paces and then fell back into a chair once more. Suddenly the clatter of china fell upon his ear, and he saw the maid pass the door with a cup on a tray and a smoking teapot.
"Who is that for, Jane?" he asked.
"For the mistress, Mr. Johnson. She says she would fancy it."
There was immeasurable consolation to him in that homely cup of tea. It wasn't so very bad after all if his wife could think of such things. So light- hearted was he that he asked for a cup also. He had just finished it when the doctor arrived, with a small black leather bag in his hand.
"Well, how is she?" he asked genially.
"Oh, she's very much better," said Johnson, with enthusiasm.
"Dear me, that's bad!" said the doctor. "Perhaps it will do if I look in on my morning round?"
"No, no," cried Johnson, clutching at his thick frieze overcoat. "We are so glad that you have come. And, doctor, please come down soon and let me know what you think about it."
The doctor passed upstairs, his firm, heavy steps resounding through the house. Johnson could hear his boots creaking as he walked about the floor above him, and the sound was a consolation to him. It was crisp and decided, the tread of a man who had plenty of self-confidence. Presently, still straining his ears to catch what was going on, he heard the scraping of a chair as it was drawn along the floor, and a moment later he heard the door fly open and someone come rushing downstairs. Johnson sprang up with his hair bristling, thinking that some dreadful thing had occurred, but it was only his mother-in- law, incoherent with excitement and searching for scissors and some tape. She vanished again and Jane passed up the stairs with a pile of newly aired linen. Then, after an interval of silence, Johnson heard the heavy, creaking tread and the doctor came down into the parlour.
"That's better," said he, pausing with his hand upon the door. "You look pale, Mr. Johnson."
"Oh no, sir, not at all," he answered deprecatingly, mopping his brow with his handkerchief.
"There is no immediate cause for alarm," said Dr. Miles. "The case is not all that we could wish it. Still we will hope for the best."
"Is there danger, sir?" gasped Johnson.
"Well, there is always danger, of course. It is not altogether a favourable case, but still it might be much worse. I have given her a draught. I saw as I passed that they have been doing a little building opposite to you. It's an improving quarter. The rents go higher and higher. You have a lease of your own little place, eh?"
"Yes, sir, yes!" cried Johnson, whose ears were straining for every sound from above, and who felt none the less that it was very soothing that the doctor should be able to chat so easily at such a time. "That's to say no, sir, I am a yearly tenant."
"Ah, I should get a lease if I were you. There's Marshall, the watchmaker, down the street. I attended his wife twice and saw him through the typhoid when they took up the drains in Prince Street. I assure you his landlord sprung his rent nearly forty a year and he had to pay or clear out."
"Did his wife get through it, doctor?"
"Oh yes, she did very well. Hullo! hullo!"
He slanted his ear to the ceiling with a questioning face, and then darted swiftly from the room.
It was March and the evenings were chill, so Jane had lit the fire, but the wind drove the smoke downwards and the air was full of its acrid taint. Johnson felt chilled to the bone, though rather by his apprehensions than by the weather. He crouched over the fire with his thin white hands held out to the blaze. At ten o'clock Jane brought in the joint of cold meat and laid his place for supper, but he could not bring himself to touch it. He drank a glass of the beer, however, and felt the better for it. The tension of his nerves seemed to have reacted upon his hearing, and he was able to follow the most trivial things in the room above. Once, when the beer was still heartening him, he nerved himself to creep on tiptoe up the stair and to listen to what was going on. The bedroom door was half an inch open, and through the slit he could catch a glimpse of the clean-shaven face of the doctor, looking wearier and more anxious than before. Then he rushed downstairs like a lunatic, and running to the door he tried to distract his thoughts by watching what; was going on in the street. The shops were all shut, and some rollicking boon companions came shouting along from the public-house. He stayed at the door until the stragglers had thinned down, and then came back to his seat by the fire. In his dim brain he was asking himself questions which had never intruded themselves before. Where was the justice of it? What had his sweet, innocent little wife done that she should be used so? Why was nature so cruel? He was frightened at his own thoughts, and yet wondered that they had never occurred to him before.
As the early morning drew in, Johnson, sick at heart and shivering in every limb, sat with his great coat huddled round him, staring at the grey ashes and waiting hopelessly for some relief. His face was white and clammy, and his nerves had been numbed into a half conscious state by the long monotony of misery. But suddenly all his feelings leapt into keen life again as he heard the bedroom door open and the doctor's steps upon the stair. Robert Johnson was precise and unemotional in everyday life, but he almost shrieked now as he rushed forward to know if it were over.
One glance at the stern, drawn face which met him showed that it was no pleasant news which had sent the doctor downstairs. His appearance had altered as much as Johnson's during the last few hours. His hair was on end, his face flushed, his forehead dotted with beads of perspiration. There was a peculiar fierceness in his eye, and about the lines of his mouth, a fighting look as befitted a man who for hours on end had been striving with the hungriest of foes for the most precious of prizes. But there was a sadness too, as though his grim opponent had been overmastering him. He sat down and leaned his head upon his hand like a man who is fagged out.
"I thought it my duty to see you, Mr. Johnson, and to tell you that it is a very nasty case. Your wife's heart is not strong, and she has some symptoms which I do not like. What I wanted to say is that if you would like to have a second opinion I shall be very glad to meet anyone whom you might suggest."
Johnson was so dazed by his want of sleep and the evil news that he could hardly grasp the doctor's meaning. The other, seeing him hesitate, thought that he was considering the expense.
"Smith or Hawley would come for two guineas," said he. "But I think Pritchard of the City Road is the best man."
"Oh, yes, bring the best man," cried Johnson.
"Pritchard would want three guineas. He is a senior man, you see."
"I'd give him all I have if he would pull her through. Shall I run for him?"
"Yes. Go to my house first and ask for the green baize bag. The assistant will give it to you. Tell him I want the A. C. E. mixture. Her heart is too weak for chloroform. Then go for Pritchard and bring him back with you."
It was heavenly for Johnson to have something to do and to feel that he was of some use to his wife. He ran swiftly to Bridport Place, his footfalls clattering through the silent streets and the big dark policemen turning their yellow funnels of light on him as he passed. Two tugs at the night-bell brought down a sleepy, half-clad assistant, who handed him a stoppered glass bottle and a cloth bag which contained something which clinked when you moved it. Johnson thrust the bottle into his pocket, seized the green bag, and pressing his hat firmly down ran as hard as he could set foot to ground until he was in the City Road and saw the name of Pritchard engraved in white upon a red ground. He bounded in triumph up the three steps which led to the door, and as he did so there was a crash behind him. His precious bottle was in fragments upon the pavement.
For a moment he felt as if it were his wife's body that was lying there. But the run had freshened his wits and he saw that the mischief might be repaired. He pulled vigorously at the night-bell.
"Well, what's the matter?" asked a gruff voice at his elbow. He started back and looked up at the windows, but there was no sign of life. He was approaching the bell again with the intention of pulling it, when a perfect roar burst from the wall.
"I can't stand shivering here all night," cried the voice. "Say who you are and what you want or I shut the tube."
Then for the first time Johnson saw that the end of a speaking-tube hung out of the wall just above the bell. He shouted up it,—
"I want you to come with me to meet Dr. Miles at a confinement at once."
"How far?" shrieked the irascible voice.
"The New North Road, Hoxton."
"My consultation fee is three guineas, payable at the time."
"All right," shouted Johnson. "You are to bring a bottle of A. C. E. mixture with you."
"All right! Wait a bit!"
Five minutes later an elderly, hard-faced man, with grizzled hair, flung open the door. As he emerged a voice from somewhere in the shadows cried, —
"Mind you take your cravat, John," and he impatiently growled something over his shoulder in reply.
The consultant was a man who had been hardened by a life of ceaseless labour, and who had been driven, as so many others have been, by the needs of his own increasing family to set the commercial before the philanthropic side of his profession. Yet beneath his rough crust he was a man with a kindly heart.
"We don't want to break a record," said he, pulling up and panting after attempting to keep up with Johnson for five minutes. "I would go quicker if I could, my dear sir, and I quite sympathise with your anxiety, but really I can't manage it."
So Johnson, on fire with impatience, had to slow down until they reached the New North Road, when he ran ahead and had the door open for the doctor when he came. He heard the two meet outside the bed-room, and caught scraps of their conversation. "Sorry to knock you up—nasty case— decent people." Then it sank into a mumble and the door closed behind them.
Johnson sat up in his chair now, listening keenly, for he knew that a crisis must be at hand. He heard the two doctors moving about, and was able to distinguish the step of Pritchard, which had a drag in it, from the clean, crisp sound of the other's footfall. There was silence for a few minutes and then a curious drunken, mumbling sing-song voice came quavering up, very unlike anything which be had heard hitherto. At the same time a sweetish, insidious scent, imperceptible perhaps to any nerves less strained than his, crept down the stairs and penetrated into the room. The voice dwindled into a mere drone and finally sank away into silence, and Johnson gave a long sigh of relief, for he knew that the drug had done its work and that, come what might, there should be no more pain for the sufferer.
But soon the silence became even more trying to him than the cries had been. He had no clue now as to what was going on, and his mind swarmed with horrible possibilities. He rose and went to the bottom of the stairs again. He heard the clink of metal against metal, and the subdued murmur of the doctors' voices. Then he heard Mrs. Peyton say something, in a tone as of fear or expostulation, and again the doctors murmured together. For twenty minutes he stood there leaning against the wall, listening to the occasional rumbles of talk without being able to catch a word of it. And then of a sudden there rose out of the silence the strangest little piping cry, and Mrs. Peyton screamed out in her delight and the man ran into the parlour and flung himself down upon the horse-hair sofa, drumming his heels on it in his ecstasy.
But often the great cat Fate lets us go only to clutch us again in a fiercer grip. As minute after minute passed and still no sound came from above save those thin, glutinous cries, Johnson cooled from his frenzy of joy, and lay breathless with his ears straining. They were moving slowly about. They were talking in subdued tones. Still minute after minute passing, and no word from the voice for which he listened. His nerves were dulled by his night of trouble, and he waited in limp wretchedness upon his sofa. There he still sat when the doctors came down to him—a bedraggled, miserable figure with his face grimy and his hair unkempt from his long vigil. He rose as they entered, bracing himself against the mantelpiece.
"Is she dead?" he asked.
"Doing well," answered the doctor.
And at the words that little conventional spirit which had never known until that night the capacity for fierce agony which lay within it, learned for the second time that there were springs of joy also which it had never tapped before. His impulse was to fall upon his knees, but he was shy before the doctors.
"Can I go up?"
"In a few minutes."
"I'm sure, doctor, I'm very—I'm very—"he grew inarticulate. "Here are your three guineas, Dr. Pritchard. I wish they were three hundred."
"So do I," said the senior man, and they laughed as they shook hands.
Johnson opened the shop door for them and heard their talk as they stood for an instant outside.
"Looked nasty at one time."
"Very glad to have your help."
"Delighted, I'm sure. Won't you step round and have a cup of coffee?"
"No, thanks. I'm expecting another case."
The firm step and the dragging one passed away to the right and the left. Johnson turned from the door still with that turmoil of joy in his heart. He seemed to be making a new start in life. He felt that he was a stronger and a deeper man. Perhaps all this suffering had an object then. It might prove to be a blessing both to his wife and to him. The very thought was one which he would have been incapable of conceiving twelve hours before. He was full of new emotions. If there had been a harrowing there had been a planting too.
"Can I come up?" he cried, and then, without waiting for an answer, he took the steps three at a time.
Mrs. Peyton was standing by a soapy bath with a bundle in her hands. From under the curve of a brown shawl there looked out at him the strangest little red face with crumpled features, moist, loose lips, and eyelids which quivered like a rabbit's nostrils. The weak neck had let the head topple over, and it rested upon the shoulder.
"Kiss it, Robert!" cried the grandmother. "Kiss your son!"
But he felt a resentment to the little, red, blinking creature. He could not forgive it yet for that long night of misery. He caught sight of a white face in the bed and he ran towards it with such love and pity as his speech could find no words for.
"Thank God it is over! Lucy, dear, it was dreadful!"
"But I'm so happy now. I never was so happy in my life."
Her eyes were fixed upon the brown bundle.
"You mustn't talk," said Mrs. Peyton.
"But don't leave me," whispered his wife.
So he sat in silence with his hand in hers. The lamp was burning dim and the first cold light of dawn was breaking through the window. The night had been long and dark but the day was the sweeter and the purer in consequence. London was waking up. The roar began to rise from the street. Lives had come and lives had gone, but the great machine was still working out its dim and tragic destiny.

Pelindaba Visitor Centre
About Hartbeespoort Dam
About Pelindaba Visitor Centre
South African Nuclear Energy Corporation's flagship facility, Pelindaba, lies in the midst of the Hartbeespoort hills, home to the Safari-1 reactor - the biggest of its kind on the continent.
Did you know? The Visitor's Centre is located on the Pelindaba Site at Necsa near the Hartbeespoort Dam. The Centre is 40 km West of Pretoria, 20 km East of Brits, Madibeng and 50 km North of Midrand and Sandton.
It was also the apartheid regime's top secret. Now you can visit it. Well, not the facility itself, but certainly the new visitors' centre, set up to 'demystify' nuclear energy.
The centre includes a nuclear science education exhibition, a conference facility and learning facilities, and is aimed at school learners, scientists and researchers, as well as industry partners and the general public. The centre has been described as 'highly interactive, built with the intention of bringing science to the fingertips of individual learners' based on five themes – energy, nuclear science, radiation, reactors and waste. It is designed to take two groups of 25 learners a day with the intention of reaching 10 000 learners a year.
Pelindaba is regarded as the country's major atomic research installation. It also 'dopes' roughly 20 tons of silicon a year for international companies. 'Doping' (irradiating silicon, thus changing its behaviour) improves silicon's conductivity. The silicon is then used in microchips for electronic components.
Pelindaba is involved in the production of molybdenum-99, used in medical nuclear diagnostics (nuclear medicine – using radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease).
Pelindaba is where South Africa's atomic bombs of the 1970s were developed, constructed and stored. It is also the site of the famous 'armed attack' of November 2007, when four armed men actually managed to enter the facility, making their way over a 10 000 volt electrical fence and through other layers of top security. Despite being 'caught' on camera, they have never been found.

IRMA-17 is a category 5 tropical cyclone currently moving forward in the Caribbean to the northwest. Since 06 September 2017 at 00h00UTC, IRMA-17 has been hitting several Caribbean islands such as Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, St Kitts and Nevis, The British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, all of them located in the 120km/h wind speed zone. As of 7 September 2017, IRMA has maximum sustained winds of 296 km/h and is expected to hit more islands in the following hours, such as Turks and Caicos and The Bahamas, before moving north towards the state of Florida in the United States.
Based on data of the predicted tropical cyclone path, wind speeds from JRC (Warning 33 issued on 7 September 2017 at 09:00 UTC), and population data from WorldPop, UNITAR-UNOSAT conducted a population exposure analysis for the Caribbean, where nearly 2 Million people are living within 120km/h wind speed zone and more than 10 million people are living within wind speed zone of 90 km/h.

Gerard Mercator's great world map of 1569 was condensed into double hemispherical form by his son Rumold. It first appeared in Isaac Casaubon's edition of Strabo's Geographia published in Geneva in 1587 with columns of text beneath the map. Later Rumold's map was incorporated into editions of Mercator's long-lived and influential Atlas from 1595 onwards.

Q: htaccess rewrite from url query I need some help trying to redirect a query to a url.
www.example.com/?categoryID=79
needs to redirect to
www.example.com/catname
where catname is just a string, it has no variables.
Here's what I tried so far:
I began with a humble approach that failed horribly:
redirect 301 /?CategoryID=79 http://www.example.com/catname/

then i moved on to mod_rewrite :
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} CategoryID=79$
RewriteRule (.*) /catname/? [R=301,L]

Both did not work and I'm actually stomped.
any help would be appreciated.
Just to be clear, In the end i'll have many of these rules redirecting to various category names.
important - it's not enough for /catname to display the proper page, the request with the query parameter must redirect to the new url.

A: This rule should work for you as first rule in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+\?CategoryID=79[&\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /catname/? [R=302,L]

Hey, you gave it a try. Sorry if I steered you down a dead end.
Life is too short to force yourself to read something you don't get at this age.
I enjoyed it but its not for everyone for sure.
I dont usually read fiction but my niece wants me to read Hunger Games next.
That's cool. I read a ton. I've read the Hunger Games trilogy. I liked it a lot. The movie comes out next month. I am going to look at the history of the Atlantic ocean.
Again its not exactly action packed. Sometimes a little hard to follow his long winded prose.
But I really enjoyed reading it and learned a lot.
Thanks guys... Will probably skip this one!
Hunger games sounds cool, thanks for the suggestion.
I just finished "the art of possibility" by Ben Zander, which was excellent.
Also as stated before, and not at all like the guitar zero book, "the music lesson" by victor Wooten was really quite good.
The jobs book is next though...!
The one factor I just can't ignore is that this guy s*cks as a musician. He's not just bad, he stinks.
I was cringing when I heard him play LOL. So... is there a difference between bad and stinking?

We call for Spain to modernize the country's animal protection laws!
by: ESDAW
recipient: SPAIN
Spain is a country made of 17 autonomous communities and 2 autonomous cities. The legislation relative to companion animals is quite similar in all of them.
The main problem in Spain is that animal abuse is not included in the criminal act as in other countries and because of that, a person who neglects, abuses or kills an animal only get minor administrative sanctions.
Therefore we must demand that Spain modernizes the country's animal protection laws.
Neglect, abuse and/or murder of companion animals should result in heavy fines or prison sentences, and should be considered a criminal act - all over Spain
We are especially concerned about how the Spaniards treat hunting dogs in their country - the rest of Europe gets the feeling that Spain sees these dogs as a disposable product.
For more information, please visit: www.esdaw.eu/spainhuntingdogs.htm www.esdaw.eu/spaineueu.htm www.esdaw.eu
We strongly urge the Spanish decision makers to modernize the country's animal protection laws - to prevent ongoing cruelty to animals.

Q: Using tf.keras.layers with keras.model yes I've read everywhere that keras and tf.keras aren't compatible. But you can pass tf.keras.layers into a keras model, and it does work. When I try to do that with my own models... it does not work!
If you examine the resnet sourcecode for Resnet50.py, they build models like
input = layers.Input(shape=input_shape)
x = layers.Dense()(x)
model = Model(input,x)

and it works fine whether you pass in layers=tf.keras.layers or layers=keras.layers
demonstration code:
import tensorflow as tf
import keras

# THIS WORKS!
input_shape = (224,224,3)
base_model = keras.applications.ResNet50(layers=tf.keras.layers, weights='imagenet',
                  weights='imagenet', include_top=False, pooling=None,
                  input_shape=input_shape,
                  classes=1000)

# this fails!!
input = tf.keras.layers.Input(shape=input_shape)
x = tf.keras.layers.Dense(1000,activation='relu')(input)
model = keras.Model(input, x)

My code produces this error: type error:
    object of type Dense has no len
How to make my this work? Apparently there is a way to make it work, because the keras.applications prebuilt models do seem to support it and it works fine
I want to use tf.keras.layers because their batchnormalization layer works different. This is potentially the easiest way to drop it into our massive existing code base.
I do see this related stackoverflow post with the same error: Object of Type 'Dense' has no len()
They correctly mention it's due to tf.keras and keras not being compatible. but again, I've confirmed that passing tf.keras.layers into keras.applications.resnet50 does return a keras model with the correct layers. Somehow.

A: You got the wrong conclusion, keras.applications is a module that supports both keras and tf.keras packages, as keras.applications uses models.Model, it detects if you use tf.keras or keras and gets the corresponding modules so the code is agnostic to the actual keras implementation.
keras.applications is not mixing usage of keras and tf.keras, it just supports both.


Dairy farmer and former Fonterra board member Leonie Guiney, now under a gagging order.
Fonterra has slapped a mystery injunction on former board member Leonie Guiney, banning any media from "using, publishing or otherwise disseminating confidential information" provided by her.
The order, made on Friday in the Wellington High Court, names NZX Rural as first respondent, Guiney as second respondent and unnamed defendants as third respondents.
Guiney is a South Canterbury dairy farmer who was elected to the board in 2014, but last year was blocked from standing as a candidate for a second term. She later went public with her disappointment.
"I think I was a necessary antidote to 'group think' on that board; I was a constant reminder of who the co-operative owners are and the supply strength that could come from trusting them more. I believe some on the board found this uncomfortable," she said in a statement.
"On any board, confidentiality obligations are intended, in part, to encourage robust debate, dissenting views, and honest and frank discussions.
"It is not uncommon to have disparate views around a board table, in fact, that is a sign of healthy debate. We must be able to have those conversations on your behalf within the boardroom, not in the newspaper," the email said.
After Guiney's failure to be chosen for the board last year, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission took Fonterra to task for reducing the number of women on the 11-person board to two.
Later at a public meeting Guiney said Fonterra's new election system created a risk to democratic control of capital.
"Farmers need to be confident the board is asking the same questions that they would if they had access to all the information that we have access to," she said.
Shareholders needed to be sure not to surrender their business sense for corporate slogans at governance level, Guiney said.
While Guiney served on the board, the dairy giant made some controversial decisions, including a $756 million investment for an 18.8 per cent stake in Beingmate, which it said would give access to the lucrative Chinese market for its infant formula and other products.
Following a troubled period during which Beingmate's share price has fallen and key staff have resigned, Fonterra's stake is worth about only $250m at current market prices.
In her decision, Justice Karen Clark said the injunction remained effective until the determination of the substantive matter, but any party could apply to revisit any aspect on 10 days' notice.

    if(date.fromtimestamp(mktime(entry.date_parsed))==today):
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'fromtimestamp'

A: It is highly possible that you have redeclared date as function def date(): earlier in code. Otherwise it makes no sense.

A: It says

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'fromtimestamp'

in the error. Apparently you may have a function named "date" in your code. Since Python allows you to use any name, and new conflicting names will override the older ones.
Instead, when python can't find a function from a module or object, it usually says type object has no attribute or module has no attribute, like if I want to call "fromtimes" :

type object 'datetime.date' has no attribute 'fromtimes'

You may want to check your code carefully again.


To request a free visitor guide from Fallon, Nevada Travel Guide, please fill out the form below and click "Submit".
Fallon, just off US Route 50, is an oasis in the desert, its lush green lands a welcome change from the harsh desert all around. The population of Fallon is close to 24,000 people, but they are mostly spread out beyond the town proper, giving the area a distinctly country feel.
Visitors to the Fallon area can take advantage of a large number of nearby lakes and reservoirs, ranging from small fish ponds to large destinations like Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake. This profusion of water in the normally dry Nevada countryside allows those in the area to fish, sail, swim, waterski, and paddle their way through pleasantly uncrowded vacation days.
Fallon is located in western Nevada about 60 miles east of Reno. For more information on the Fallon area, please select a topic of interest from the list on the left.

This is my code. I need to make it so when a user clicks the div id="one" or id="two" execute this sql query (if div one was clicked (same thing for two))
UPDATE mytable SET up=$up+1 WHERE id="1(can be any id)"

Also, can I do that math in an sql query?
Thanks

A: Alright so this consist of 3 parts:
1.html.
2.JS/ajax.
3.php.
1.) HTML.
<div data-action="up" class="clicker" id="<?php echo $item; ?>">

        <?php
            echo "$up votes";
        ?>

        <?php echo $item ?>

<div data-action="down" class="clicker" id="<?php echo $item; ?>">

        <?php
            echo "$down votes";
        ?>

2.) JS/Ajax.

3.) php.
if($_POST['ajax'] == 'yes'){
    $field = $_POST['vote'];
    $query = "UPDATE mytable SET `$field` = `$field` +1 WHERE id=".$_POST['var_id'];
    $query_run = mysql_query($query);
    $return = array();
    $return['success'] = false;
    if($query_run){
       $return['success'] = true;
    }
    echo json_encode($return);
    die()
}

Update whole Page
if($_POST['ajax'] == 'yes'){
    $field = $_POST['vote'];
    $query = "UPDATE mytable SET `$field` = `$field` +1 WHERE id=".$_POST['var_id'];
    $query_run = mysql_query($query);
    $return = array();
    $return['success'] = false;
    if($query_run){
       $return['success'] = true;
    }
    echo json_encode($return);
    die()
}

$query = "SELECT `item`, `up`, `down` FROM mytable ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
$query_run = mysql_query($query);

if ($query_run = mysql_query($query)) {

while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_run)) {
$item = $query_row['item'];
$up = $query_row['up'];
$down = $query_row['down'];

?>
<div data-action="up" class="clicker" id="<?php echo $item; ?>">

        <?php
            echo "$up votes";
        ?>

        <?php echo $item ?>

<div data-action="down" class="clicker" id="<?php echo $item; ?>">

        <?php
            echo "$down votes";
        ?>

<?php       }

    } else {
        echo mysql_error();
    }
    ?>

Basically this is the whole thing. if you want i can also put the pieces together for you.

A: You can add and onClick() event in javascript/jquery. Then, do a POST like this
$("#div1").onClick(function(){
   var info = $(this).val();
   $.post("fileWithQuery.php",{toUpdate: info},function(data){  // (fileName to post, variables to send via POST, callBack function)
      // Show a message
   });
});

You just need to create that php file.


How much to charge for a 3 page website for a board member?
I do consulting for a local chamber of commerce's small business clients in a major US city. One of the Chamber's board members asked me to provide him a quote for a 3 page website for his consulting business. It will consist of an introduction page, services page, and contact page.
Given that he's a board member and that the Chamber clients accounts for 20% of my income, I want to make this happen and also avoid any potential friction over the negotiation process etc. Additionally, said board member is a like-able guy and well connected, hence this simple website could lead to other clients.
Given the scenario I outlined above, How much do you suggest charging for a 3 page WordPress website?


Elon Musk Says "Deep Artificial Intelligence Is a Dangerous Situation"
If humankind wants to survive the rise of artificial intelligence, we need to embrace the machines and become a melded cyborg organism, projected Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, on Monday. Enhancing our minds is Musk's answer to finding the meaning of life.
Musk has been a proponent of the human-A.I. mind-meld for a while: He's floated the idea of neural lace, a hypothetical computer processing net that can be injected into your brain to enhance intelligence. He seems pretty serious about enhancing humans to survive an A.I. takeover.
This mindset puts the neural-net concept in a slightly different light. Instead of just focusing on anxieties about how A.I. will take over, it's a softer sort of future, where a neural net broadens the abilities of the human mind. Musk pivoted quickly to the A.I. uprising that he thinks might be around the corner.
While Musk seems to think that the robot uprising is inevitable, he brought up the human-machine merger as a way for people to survive.
In the video above, Musk starts talking 27 minutes into it.
