Q: Allow cognito users to view images in s3 I have granted the Cognito user access to the S3 object matching that user attribute with Cognito Identity Pool.
How can I view images in a bucket from a URL in a browser logged in as the Cognito user?
What I want to

*

*To split the s3 bucket into tenants and only allow image files from the tenant to which the Cognito user belongs to be viewed.

*To display images with img tag <img src="">.

What I did

*

*S3 object arn: arn:aws:s3:::sample-tenant-bucket/public/1/photos/test.jpg

*Create Cognito User with custom attributes

aws cognito-idp admin-create-user \
  --user-pool-id "ap-northeast-1_xxxx" \
  --username "USER_NAME" \
  --user-attributes Name=custom:tenant_id,Value=1

*

*Cognito Identity Pool

*

*Mapping of user attributes to principal tags

*

*"tenantId": "custom:tenant_id"

*Added sts:TagSession permission to the authenticated role

*Attach policy to the authenticated role

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": "*",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::sample-tenant-bucket/public/${aws:PrincipalTag/tenantId}/*",
            "Effect": "Allow"
        }
    ]
}

Hypothesis

*

*Typing the object URL (https://sample-tenant-bucket.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/public/1/1670773819-1.jpg) into the address bar results in a 403, even when logged in with an AWS account as an administrator, not as a Cognito User. Therefore,
I thought that Object URLs could not be used for non-public objects.

*The Presigned URL seems to work, but I was wondering if there is another way to do it, since it is a method that does not depend on whether the user is already logged in to the AWS account or not.

*Maybe this question is the same as asking how to display an image in a bucket by URL in a browser that is already logged in with the object owner's AWS account

Monte Cassino Battlefield Tour: Visiting "Le Fraschette" Internment camp
Giugno 24, 2022 Joe Monte Cassino Battlefield Blog 0
If you decide to visit the Internment camp in Alatri, you will discover a place you had never been to. Even many inhabitants of Alatri don't know exactly that an internment camp was in this area, and not exactly where. Probably it is because of the camp position. In the middle of the peaceful countryside, along a local narrow road from Alatri to Fumone there is that special forgotten place. I also discover it only some years ago, but it was only recently that a friend of mine shared the list of all the concentration camps in Italy and I read the name of Le Fraschette in the list. So I visited it. From the main road, it is difficult to notice it. You see only a high stone wall and a turret. If you turn around the wall, through a big hole you can see some abandoned buildings and the church of the former camp. When Italy entered the war, we could also enforce the laws that gave the possibility to capture and intern civilians coming from enemies countries in concentration camps. The Fascist government renovated old building in quiet places, far away from the war front, and in our region Lazio the Fascists chose Ponza, Ventotene, Castel di Guido and Le Fraschette in Alatri. This way of doing was typical of a coercive and repressive system, created to discourage those who criticized or openly worked against Mussolini's regime.Those who lived in Le Fraschette camp were arrested individually or in groups during the so-called street round-ups. They were all foreign citizen at at the beginning of the war were in Italy on in areas that were under Italian control. At the end of December the Fascist government opened the camp of Le Fraschette and to transform it in a big farm with 60/70 hectares of fields. The camp was formed by 15 barracks as dormitory, 5 barracks for refectory, 1 infirmary, one kitchen, 2 lavatories, 5 warehouses, a cinema, a library, a chapel, and some other barracks for the Italian troops. The village had been built for maximum 6000 people, but on primo October 1942, about 800 Anglo-Maltese were hosted here. They had been interrogated by the Fascists and considered irreducibly British. After them, arrived also 2300 people from Melada in Dalmatia, and other 2900. In 1943 the local Fascist commander complained the internees were too free to walk around and to look for food. The problem was the internees wanted to plant crops all around the camp but the former owners of the fields continued to cultivate them, and the internees don't have the possibility to grow their vegetable.
Many people tried to help the internees during their stay at Le Fraschette, for example, the Monsignor Edoardo Facchini Bishop of Alatri, that organized also the First Holy Communion for the Children of the camp. The situation was terrible under a sanitary point of view, and the lack of food has always been a problem. After the war the Camp was transformed to a reception camp for the Italian refugee from Istria, Dalmatia and Africa, and years later for those from Hungaria.
The structure is still there, abandoned, but still visible to those that are interested in the Second World War camp of Le Fraschette. If you are interested in this place too, ask me to add it to your Monte Cassino Battlefield Tour.

Cloudstreet by Tim Winton - Omen or Inspiration
In May 1992, the Sydney literary news was full of Tim Winton's success and his novel, Cloudstreet. And I thought it an omen. Winton was thirty-one, and I was thirty. He'd grown up in W.A., and so had I. He'd just won his second Miles Franklin Award. And I was having a second crack at being a writer!
Cloudstreet by Tim Winton - Omen or Inspiration is a blog post from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.

Is there an easy way to affect where the "Add to cart" block appears on a single post view of a product? By default it's at the end of the product post content, and I'd like it at the beginning as well.
You'll want to edit your theme to do this. Specifically, you'll first need to create a single product template file.
To do that, copy your themes single.php and rename it mp_product.php.
I get a 404 for your site at the moment but if you copy the code from SimpleMarket that should work for ya.
That works a treat, thanks.
However, when my product has a variation, rather than showing the drop down box with the ability to select an option, it displays a button which says "Choose an Option >>"
Is there another function to print the variations?
There isn't a function that I can dig out that would be easy to use but I'll ask the developer if there is something I've missed that you could use easily.
Customizing mp_product.php is essential to the site I am building and it all looks almost perfect except for the fact the variation drop down menu doesn't appear. Which is obviously quite important.
Awesome! That's done the trick. Thank you very much.
Thanks, but the mp_category_list piece doesn't work at all. Can you explain what each parameter does?


Click the [+] to see more specific symptoms. Click a symptom to see potential diagnoses.
The map is either not displaying, or is not drawn completely.
The submenu opens when hovering over a top level menu item, but the animations do not occur.
The menu items are present, but they are not styled at all like a menu - they just display as an unordered list.
It is clear that the UberMenu styles are being applied, but they don't look like the demo - this indicates that other styles (from the theme or another plugin) are also affecting the look of the menu.
The submenus are not appearing when the top level menu item is activated (hover or click).
The submenu can be seen to open, but part of it is hidden behind other elements of the site.
The submenus open, but the third level menu items remain hidden until hovering over their parent second level menu items.
There is a display issue, specifically in a version of Internet Explorer (IE).
When you click the collapsed "Menu" button on a mobile device, nothing happens and the menu items are not revealed.
When using a responsive theme, UberMenu and the theme menu both appear once activating UberMenu.
When visiting a page, the submenu of the current menu item opens automatically without it being triggered by the user.
UberMenu replaces the markup of the menu in your theme. However, it also replaces the CSS styles. If the position of the theme's menu was determined by absolute positioning rather than relative positioning, the menu may not appear in the expected location.
Absolutely positioned elements do not take up "space" in the layout – so relatively positioned elements will not be pushed down the page because of them.
Some themes lay out their header using absolute positioning.
For example, instead of just allowing the elements to position as they naturally would when stacked and floated together (postion:relative), they explicitly state where different elements should be, regardless of the natural flow of elements (position:absolute).
When UberMenu replaces the theme menu, these absolute CSS styles may no longer apply. As a result, the menu can appear out of position. For example, if all elements in the header are positioned absolutely, the menu may end up appearing at the very top, even though it is below them in the markup.
Use your web inspector to inspect the elements in the header – if they are positioned absolutely, that is likely the issue.
You can disable UberMenu temporarily and check the positioning of the original menu for position:absolute; as well.

https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2010/08/thursdays-bellator-25-card-finalized-with-four-preliminary-card-bouts
Thursday's Bellator 25 card finalized with four preliminary card bouts
August 17, 2010 1:10 am ET
Thursday's Bellator 25 event is now complete with the addition of four preliminary card bouts.
Among the contests previously reported by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) are Shonie Carter vs. Torrance Taylor, Brian Gassaway vs. Kevin Knabjian and Keoki Cypriano vs. Eric Kriegermeier.
John Kolosci vs. Kenny Robertson was also added to the card.
A previously reported bout between Mark Miller and Josh Shockley was scratched for unknown reasons.
Featuring two first-round heavyweight tournament fights and a contest from the 115-pound female bracket, Bellator 25 takes place Aug. 19 at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago. The main card airs on FOX Sports Net.
During his colorful career, Carter (49-23-7 MMA, 0-0 BFC) has fought for organizations ranging from the UFC to the WEC to the KOTC to Pancrase. "The Ultimate Fighter 4" cast member hasn't competed in the UFC since 2006, when a loss to Marcus Davis even his promotional record at 3-3. Lately, Carter has struggled in a variety of U.S, Canadian and Australian promotions with a 1-4 skid and five losses in his past seven fights. He'll now return home to Chicago while looking to rebound.
Taylor (8-7-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC), meanwhile, also looks to snap out of a rough stretch in which he's gone 1-3 primarily in Ohio-based promotions. Prior to the skid, which included losses to UFC fighter Fabricio Camoes and undefeated Joe Heiland, Taylor posted an impressive 5-1 record that included wins over UFC vets Jason Dent, Junior Assuncao and Luke Caudillo.
Gassaway (28-19-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) is a near-14-year veteran who has fought in a variety of promotions throughout the world, including the IVC, King of the Cage, Pancrase, Shooto and the WEC. He appeared for the UFC in 2005, but he lost in devastating fashion to Diego Sanchez. He now fights for the first time since October 2008. After three straight wins, he most recently suffered back-to-back losses to UFC veterans Mike Pyle and Forrest Petz in outside promotions.
Knabjian (10-4-1 MMA, 0-1 BFC) fights under the Bellator banner for the second time. The one-time WEC veteran was a contestant on "The Ultimate Fighter 9," but he was eliminated in the opening round by training partner Mark Miller. Knabjian fought most recently in May 2009 at Bellator 7, where he was submitted by Jacob Volkmann in his final fight before heading to the UFC.
Known as "Hawaii's Bad Boy," Cypriano (3-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) is a member of Team Top Notch and is a frequent training partner of WEC veteran Ricardo Lamas. Cypriano opened his career with three consecutive first-round wins via strikes, though he's currently mired in a two-fight slide with both losses coming to Kelvin Hackney.
Kriegermeier (1-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC) made his professional debut in February and earned a first-round submission win over Andy Roberts at Wild Bill's Fight Night 25. Kriegermeier returned in July and suffered a split-decision loss to Dee Jay Fuentes. The Georgia native currently fights out of Ascension MMA.
The always-smiling Kolosci (14-6 MMA, 0-0 BFC) is best remembered for his affectionate run on "The Ultimate Fighter 6." Kolosci lost via submission at the season's live finale and was released by the promotion. The 35-year-old has since gone 6-1, including a June win over UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti.
Meanwhile, Robertson (9-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) brings an undefeated record to his Bellator debut. Robinson has earned eight of his nine career wins via stoppage, including six via submission.

Rescue Plans
Mining Minister Laurence Golborne described for CNN the rescue efforts, the three holes - called Plan A, Plan B and Plan C - being dug in an effort to open a passageway to safety for the men. Plan A and Plan B each required two holes to be drilled - a small hole first and then a wider one about 26 to 28 inches (65-70 centimeters) in diameter. Golborne said the second pass would progress more slowly than the first pass.
Plan A involved using a drill placed directly above the shelter where the miners were holed up. Under Plan B, a hole was drilled at a roughly 80-degree angle into an area of the mine shaft that was used as a mechanical workshop. That distance, engineers estimated, was around 2,034 feet (620 meters). The drill used in Plan C needed to cut through some 1,969 feet (600 meters) of rock and earth.
Plan A drill was a Raise Borer Strata 950, usually used for drilling ventilation shafts in mines.
Plan B drill was a Schramm T-130, usually used for boring water holes.
Plan C drill was a Rig 421 drill, usually used for drilling for oil.

When we are hurt so deeply, we want nothing to do with that person ever again. We are often hurt by the ones we love the most. The key word is "love", that is when it cuts so deep. If you loved them once, you love them now. You can not just turn love on and off like a light switch.
When love turns to hate, it never leaves you alone. The pain is there in a restaurant, a song or a place. You can not get away from it. Maybe, your constant reminder of the relationship is God trying to tell you to forgive.
I knew a man who had a close bond with his best friend of 30 years. The two would get a feeling when there was trouble and go and support. The families took trips together and shared wonderful memories.
So what happened? I believe it was a business deal gone wrong. Both were prideful and stubborn. Years went by, the man thought a lot about his friend and continued to tell funny stories from their friendship. He said he forgave, but he still would not call. He missed his best friend and I am assuming his best friend missed him as well. A few more years past the man had a second child, this time he didn't share it with his best friend.
One day, the man told me "Something is wrong with my best friend, I can feel it." I told him to call. The man went in and surfed the internet for answers. Still too stubborn to call. He found that his best friend had died. The man became angry and remorseful that he had not reached out to him earlier and now it was to late.
This man could tell me countless stories of fun, laughter, joy, and the support for each other. He could only tell me ONE story of hurt. Don't let that ONE event destroy a friendship.
If you attempt make things right and the person is unwilling. At least you tried and then you will save yourself the pain of regret in the end.
Find a way to mend the fences.

Mosquito Shield was founded in September 2001. We've all been there, trying to enjoy our homes' outdoors, only to have our limited time outside ruined by unwanted mosquitos and insects. It was clear that the mosquito control products available at the time—body sprays, candles, mosquito magnets—weren't up to the task. Frustrated with these options, we set out to formulate a true solution. The following 15 years were spent researching the science behind the mosquito life cycle, testing products, application methods and treatment frequency. We developed our own proprietary blend, Mosquito Protection Blend (MPB), that lasts for weeks and gets stronger as mosquito season progressed. Our MPB is made with natural oils that rid you of current mosquitos and repel future unwanted guests. Combining MPB with our FlexBlend application technology has put us at the forefront of residential mosquito control.

Queen Elizabeth II joined by spectacular 1,000-boat flotilla for Diamond Jubilee celebration

The River Thames in London was a spectacular sight on Sunday with an extravaganza of steam boats, tugs, speed boats and historic vessels as part of festivities for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. The Queen joined the armada of 1,000 boats in a gilded royal barge as revelers braved the rainy weather to help celebrate the occasion by waving flags, popping bottles of champagne and cheering.
The 86-year-old queen celebrates her 60th anniversary since taking the throne in 1952. She is the second-longest serving monarch. According to Reuters, only five other kings and queens in British history have reigned for 50 years or more: Victoria (63 years), George III (59 years), Henry III (56 years), Edward III (50 years), and James VI of Scotland (James I of England) (58 years).

We were the first company making a full set of window screens for the VW T5 and over 6 years have tweaked our templates to fit all the windows properly, including our Cab Set (most suppliers sell generic cab sets that are often just about close enough to sell for the T5!).
We have thousands of happy customers and have been told our screens are better made, a better material and are a much better fit than other suppliers.
Silver window screens have taken over as the more popular window covering option for campervans.
The screens are made out of a 7 layered material (there are differences in the quality of this material, which is sometimes reflected in the sale price!).
Thermal blinds attach to the inside of the front and rear windscreens to insulate your camper van during the night. We offer a full range for VW T5 and a comprehensive range for the T4 Models.


Hey! It's Heather from the story department. I just got back from Burbank, CA, where 15 other members of the Blue Sky team and I went for the 10th annual CTN Expo. We had a killer looking booth and hundreds of artists come to us for portfolio reviews in animation, design, story and production management. It seems like it was only yesterday when I was on the other side of the table.
I was doing a hodgepodge of freelance art and animation work in Washington DC and I badly wanted to move to LA and work for an animation studio. At my third time at CTN, I went to the Blue Sky booth and got a ticket (the last one! Someone had returned it!) for an interview with someone on the story team. It went well, but I received no promises. I got back to DC and, on the day I was going to buy my one-way ticket to LA, got a phone call from Deb Stone, Blue Sky's Director of Recruiting and Talent Development, asking for an interview. I started in January 2015 and the rest is history!
CTN is a great event. Even before the interview, CTN gave me an opportunity to network with professionals and receive feedback on my work. I grew up in Queens, NY and lived on the east coast most of my life. I didn't go to art school, and I didn't have any connections in the industry. One of the things I love about this field is that it doesn't matter where you went to school or your experience, as long as your work is good. If you're a master of your craft and treat other people well, you have a very good shot. I've also discovered while networking at CTN and similar events that there are lots of kind, talented industry folks eager to pay forward the help they received in their careers.
My career hasn't been a straight line. I've been drawing since I was little, and I always wanted to go into animation, but I was also interested in different things. And I mean *different* things. I got into Princeton University, where I studied ecology and evolutionary biology. For nine months, I lived in Kenya studying zebras. For a year, I taught English in Japan. For six years after that, I freelanced in Washington DC while my husband worked in government.
Whoops. I had work to do.
But the whole experience was exhilarating and from then I worked on making my storyboards as good as possible. I benefited immensely from story artists who posted their work online. I slowly started to make connections and talk to story artists about their work. I took a summer course at Animation Collaborative and had the fortune to do a mentorship through Motivarti. It all paid off when I had the interview with Blue Sky.
The story person I interviewed with that November 2014 was none other than Troy Quane, who would go on to direct, along with Nick Bruno, our next film, Spies in Disguise (2019). I've been working on their film for the past two years. This year at CTN while I was doing portfolio reviews, Troy was giving a presentation about the animation and design for Spies in Disguise, including an 8-minute sneak peek of the movie. After two years of working on the film, it was a treat to show the CTN community and to see their reactions. It felt like I've come full circle.
Events like CTN are so important. For artists, they are an opportunity to be inspired, network, and receive feedback. For the studio, it's a place to connect with talent, point people in the right direction, promote what they do, and look for the next generation of artists.
It is amazing to be a part of this industry, but even better to now be able to 'pay it forward'. Two years ago, I interviewed Stephanie Waldo, who became a trainee and then a full time addition to the Blue Sky story department. She is now working on our 2020 film Nimona and other development projects.

The Cameo luminaire makes its debut at the christening of a cruise ship
By Charles A. Tower Last updated May 5, 2022
The spectacular christening ceremony show for AIDA Cruises' second ship, AIDAcosma, used 136 Cameo OTOS H5 lights and was accompanied by 250 drones.
The event – themed 'the world is getting more colorful' – took place in Hamburg, Germany on April 9 before the ship set sail on its maiden voyage to Mallorca.
Flo Erdmann was the first lighting designer in the world to use Cameo's new point-scan hybrid moving head for a large-scale event. He placed the OTOS H5 lights, arranged in fan-shaped clusters in groups of six, on various decks and along the ship's railings. During a performance by DJ Alle Farben, 16 additional lights were deployed on the Ocean Deck at the rear of the ship.
"We were looking for a projector that would allow us to make a high number of units – within the budget – that could cope with the dimensions of a baptism of ship."
He added that he was impressed with the combination of IP65 certification and lighting performance of the OTOS H5. "The OTOS H5 is really light, which helped the crew a lot in this context," Erdmann said. "It's also fully outdoor capable and extremely bright. For me, there's nothing like it in this performance and budget class.
Erdmann worked together with Sven Sören Beyer from the Berlin artist collective Phase 7. The project was coordinated by JP SPACES, a Hamburg-based planning office for event architecture. AMBION GmbH acted as the central technical service provider for the event, which was broadcast live.
The OTOS H5s were supplied by NicLen GmbH, which was one of the first dry-hire providers in the world to invest in the Cameo series. "With the OTOS H5, we have deliberately invested in a hybrid moving head that can be used flexibly in the outdoor sector and thus meets the growing demands of the market", says Managing Director Jörg Stöppler.

Everything You Need to Know About The Nissan Patrol Ti
By Daniel N on October 27, 2016 0
If you have been considering the new Nissan Patrol 2016 range, you may have overlooked the benefits offered by this iconic model. The Patrol is a military inspired vehicle which first hit our shores in 1960. However, it didn't become a solid part of the landscape here until the 1980s when the third generation Patrol arrived. Although the Nissan Patrol has been a strong contender for more than fifty years, the Ti been refreshed to provide a more powerful, comfortable and bigger model.
The Performance:
The Patrol Ti is equipped with a massive V8 5.6 litre engine, which provides 298 kW power and 560 Nm torque. This is approximately fifty percent more torque compared to the GU diesel. Although the model has a hefty 2800 kilogram bulk, it still has an impressive power to weight ratio of 110W/kg.
However, this sheer power will come at a cost. The fuel consumption is listed as 14 litres per 100 kilometres on a combined cycle, which makes this model a little on the thirsty side. The model has a 140 litre fuel tank, which means that you will have approximately 1,000 kilometre range on a full tank.
When the Ti was originally launched in 2013, the price was $92,850 plus on the road and optional costs. The top spec models cost in excess of $113k. However, this year Nissan have revised their pricing structure. This means that the Ti is now priced at $69,990, which represents a $23,000 saving and makes this Nissan Patrol even more competitive.
For example, the GXL Toyota Landcruiser turbo diesel is priced at $87,000. While the Toyota may be a little more frugal fuel wise, you would potentially gain seventeen years of driving from the price gap if you buy the Nissan.
Inside the Cabin:
The Ti has a whole host of equipment as standard. This includes tri zone climate control, surround view park camera, leather trimmed seats, sat nav, keyless entry and a number of off road tools such as tyre pressure monitor, wheel angle display, and compass.
There is also acres of space. With all the seats in place, there is a mammoth 550 litres of cargo space. If you fold the 60:40 split third row, this increases to 1500 litres, which is more than enough for your luggage even with a full complement of passengers.
The Nissan Patrol officially has an eight seat layout, with plenty of space even in the rear row. There is also a gap between the first and second row which is so vast; it should be called an aisle. There is also a diverse range of storage solutions to ensure that all the passengers enjoy the journey including cupholders, storage cubbies, and bins.
If you would like further details about the new Nissan Patrol for sale, Perth drivers should contact us. We have the new Nissan Patrol 2016 and a number of quality pre owned models. The Duncan Nissan sales team would be delighted to answer any of your Nissan Patrol queries, and we can organize your test drive.

New Version of Earthquake Early Warning App Released, Will Alert Users of Weaker Shaking
by: Tracy Bloom, Mark Mester
Posted: Aug 14, 2019 / 10:08 AM PDT / Updated: Aug 14, 2019 / 05:37 PM PDT
An updated version of Los Angeles' earthquake early warning app will soon alert users to weaker shaking, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey officials announced Wednesday.

Previously, ShakeAlertLA alerted users to temblors of magnitude 5.0 or greater. That threshold notification will be reduced to a magnitude of 4.5.
"Every day we are communicating the importance of preparedness, so that every Angeleno has the tools and resources they need to build a better life — and then protect that life when disaster strikes," Garcetti said in a statement. "Updates to ShakeAlertLA will result in an even more responsive application making our city stronger and our families safer."
The change will go into effect this month. It comes after criticism from many users who complained they were not alerted to shaking when a pair of powerful temblors centered near Ridgecrest jolted the greater Los Angeles area on July 4 and July 5.
"The app performed as designed, it's just that the intensity levels were below that threshold that had been set by the app," USGS seismologist Rob Graves said at the time.
Still, even with the downgrade of the shaking threshold, app users would only have been notified after the largest quake, a magnitude 7.1. that struck one day after a 6.4 temblor hit the region.
The ShakeAlertLA app became the first publicly available early warning system in the U.S. when it launched on Apple and Google Play stores on Dec. 31, 2018, according to the mayor's statement.
It was officially unveiled in early January.

PM promises massive economic revolution in South
The South will undergo a massive economic revolution under the unity government, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday.
Speaking at the first anniversary celebration of the unity government in Matara, the Premier added that the government is ready to bring ships to the Hambantota harbour.
"We will bring one million high end tourists to the airport which is reigned by crows and peacocks, promoting the economy of the Southern region," he said.
The Premier added that the financial city project has far reaching economic benefits to Sri Lanka.
"We entered into a financial city agreement which is expected to have far reaching economic benefits to Sri Lanka and the creation of higher paying service sector jobs," he said.
Premier Wickremesinghe added that the former President had given an undertaking to UN Secretary General Ban ki Moon that his government will take legal action against those responsible for alleged human rights violations.
"It is not me who entered an agreement with Prabakaran to secure an election victory. But we are labeled as traitors," he said.

Am sure this has been done 100 times before, but I've recently acquired two relic computers and I want them to control my trains. They both have ports consisting of 8 digital I/O pins and I'll utilise these to control a throttle, direction and points. I'll also use them to read sensors.
Having only 8 pins provides a nice challenge... but nothing a few shift registers cannot handle!
Let's get started very simply by switching a LED on and off. One might think that, as that LEDs are synonymous with digital electronics, that one can just hook it up to a digital pin and set the output to HIGH. One could... but the current draw would likely kill the 'controller' that the parallel port relies on!
Due to this, you must make sure that you provide sufficient safeguards to prevent damage to your delicate hardware. Once you trash a parallel port in a system (especially of this vintage), you cannot go back.
The trick we'll use is known as opto-coupling or opto-isolation. The goal is to use ICs that have both a LED and a light sensor inside them. When you trigger a HIGH state on the LED side, the light sensor is activated and the associated HIGH state is seen on the output side.
This effectively isolates the electrical circuits and prevents any unweildly voltages on the 'peripheral' side from trashing your valuable hardware.
Thanks to Ian Stedman, we can use the circuit he has provided to hook up LEDs and opto-couplers.
The Amiga port provides a lower current than most PC Parallel ports, so we'll use it as the lowest denominator when creating this circuit so that we can use this hardware across multiple platforms.
A 74HC7404 Hex Inverter is used to 'sink' the current used by the LED or Opto-coupler. This IC is much more capable of handling the current and will link the GND wires together internally rather than sending the GND signal back through the parallel port to be linked inside the Amiga (or other device that you've plugged this in to.) This provides a secondary level of protection.
Thanking Ian again, he's provided us links to demonstration code to test out the circuit we've just created. Download the first sample here.
This sample provides a compiled version of 'Pario' which is a C program to test the parallel port on the Amiga. This code is for the console, so extract it and then run the PARIO/PARcode binary.
Excuse the quality of the photos... haven't learnt how to take screen captures on the Amiga and photographing an LCD TV isn't easy.
Either way, once the program is loaded you'll get a list of options... Press 1 then enter then set the ports to output. Then Press 2 and enter either FF or 00. This is a blanket 'all on' or 'all off' for the 8 data pins.
Doing this made my LED successfully light up and turn off! Winner!
This wasn't fun. First I had to re-image my Lenovo X61 as it had a huge amount of spyware on it after lending it to a friend. Then I had to make LPT1 work. Device Manager indicated that all was swell, but the sample code from Code Project just didn't work. On reboot, the green LED would flicker, so I knew that the port was live and communicating.
I dug deeper and tried a second example, using TVicPort, but this also didn't work. I went into the BIOS and found the port disabled!?! Why did Windows tell me it was fine?
After enabling it, there was still no dice. I dug through the sample code and it all seemed to set the port into ECP mode. Was this the same as "bi-directional" which was the default setting in the BIOS? Had no clue.. so back into the BIOS where this could be changed to ECP. Had to be it!
And blam! It works. Hitting D0 on the first sample app works a treat!
Cross-platform: Making this work from the Commodore 64!
My User Port interface for the C64 arrived and I decided that using BASIC was going to provide a good challenge. I've also now coded the User Port in C.
With the hardware hooked up, I ran the following sample to control the LEDs. A thanks to Coronax for the initial example.
Originally the code was to test all values up to 255, or 11111111b. We only need to test the first three pins in our case, so going to 7 (or 111b) will iterate through the values as expected.
Line 20 sets the magical address 56579 to 11111111b. This means that all 8 pins are '1' or 'output'. 56577 is then the I/O for the port and setting a 0 or a 1 provides a digital LOW or HIGH respectively.
10 PRINT "USER PORT EXAMPLE"
Does it work? Yes... Check out more on coding the User Port here.
Next is a shift register... with the ultimate goal being a minimal-pin-usage 12v throttle for the railway. Stay Tuned.

Piazza dell'Anfiteatro
The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is a unique square in the city of Lucca in Tuscany. It takes its name from the Roman Amphitheatre that used to occupy the same site but was razed to the ground in 1830.
Construction of the square involved much of the structure of the amphitheatre to create a quite unique space: an elliptical piazza with buildings of irregular heights facing each other.
Piazza dell'Anfiteatro attained second place on the Italy Review list of Top Ten Piazzas in Italy, while the city of Lucca itself is one of the most beautiful in the country with its walkable walls, historic cathedral and the quirky Torre Guinigi.

Ronald Hutton, Voltaire, and Metempsychosis (Hutton & Reincarnation, Part Six)
"Did it ever occur in true Rome, that a Lucretius was denounced to the consuls for having the system of Epicurus into verse; a Cicero, for having repeatedly written, that there is no pain after death; or that a Pliny or Varro was accused of having peculiar notions of the divinity? The liberty of thinking was unlimited among the Romans. Those of harsh, jealous, and narrow minds, who amongst us have endeavored to crush this liberty -- the parent of our knowledge -- the mainspring of the understanding -- have made chimerical dangers into their pretext; they have forgotten that the Romans, who carried this liberty much further than we do, were nevertheless our conquerors, our lawgivers; and that the disputes of schools have no more to do with government than the tub of Diogenes had with the victories of Alexander."
[Voltaire, from the entry for Soul in his Philosophical Dictionary]
According to Ronald Hutton, "The concept of reincarnation comes from the East, being especially associated with Hindu and Buddhist thought. It reached Europe, like so much else, in the 18th century, and was especially influential in Britain because the British conquest of India, followed by Ceylon and Burma, opened a highway for it. The first person to make it widely known among English and French intellectuals was Sir William Jones ...."
The first edition of Voltaire's Dictionnaire Philosophique was published in 1764, when William Jones was only 18 years of age and still a student at Oxford. Below is an English translation of the entry for Metamorphosis, Metempsychosis:
"Is it not quite natural that all the metamorphoses seen on earth led in the east, where everything has been imagined, to the notion that our souls pass from one body to another? A nearly imperceptible speck becomes a worm; this worm becomes a butterfly. An acorn is transformed into an oak, an egg into a bird. Water becomes cloud and thunder. Wood changes into fire and ashes. In short everything in nature appears to be metamorphosed. What was physically seen in the crudest bodies was soon extended to souls, which were regarded as light forms. The idea of metempsychosis is perhaps the most ancient dogma of the known universe, and it still reigns in a large part of India and China.
"It is also very natural that all the metamorphoses we witness should have produced those ancient fables which Ovid collected in his admirable works. Even the Jews had their metamorphoses. If Niobe was changed to marble, Edith, wife of Loth, was changed into a statue of salt. If Eurydice remained in hell because she looked behind her, it is for the same indiscretion that the wife of Hoth was deprived of human nature. The little town in which lived Baucis and Philemon was changed into a lake; the same thing happened to Sodom. The daughters of Anius changed water to oil; in the scriptures we have almost the same metamorphosis, but true and more sacred. Cadmus was changed into a serpent; Aarod's rod also became a serpent.
"The gods very often changed themselves into men. The Jews never saw the angels in any but human form: the angels ate with Abraham. In his Epistle to the Corinthians Paul says that the angel of Satan slapped him: Angelos Satana me colaphiset."
Under Viands, we have this:
"I think that the Brachmans, so anterior to the Jews, might well have been divided also; but they were the first who imposed upon themselves the law of not eating any animal. As they believed that souls passed and repassed from human bodies to those of beasts, they would not eat their relations. Perhaps their best reason was the fear of accustoming men to carnage, and inspiring them with ferocious manners.
"We know that Pythagoras, who studied geometry and morals among them [that is, the 'Brachmans'], embraced this humane doctrine, and brought it to Italy. His disciples followed it a very long time: the celebrated philosophers, Plotinus, Jamblichus, and Porphyry, recommended and even practiced it;- though it is very rare to practice what is preached. The work of Porphyry on abstinence from meat [De Abstentia], written in the middle of our third century, and very well translated into our language by M. de Burigni, is very much esteemed by the learned; but it has not made more disciples among us than the book of the physician Hequet ... The work of Porphyry is addressed to one of his disciples, named Firmus, who it is said turned christian, to have the liberty of eating meat and drinking wine ... He speaks not of metempsychosis, but he regards animals as our brethren, because they are animated like ourselves; they have the same principles of life; they have, as well as ourselves, ideas, sentiment, memory industry. They want but speech; if they had it, should we dare to kill and eat them; should we dare to commit these fratricides?"
And under Resurrection:
"Many grave schoolmen clearly see purgatory and resurrection in Virgil. As for purgatory, I am obliged to acknowledge that is expressly in the sixth book ... Nor could the kinsfolk of that day obtain from pagan priests an indulgence to abridge their sufferings for ready money. The ancients were much more severe and less simoniacal than we are, notwithstanding that they imputed so many foolish actions to their gods. What would you have? Their theology is made up of contradictions, as the malignant say is the case with our own.
"When their purgation was finished these souls went and drank of the waters of Lethe, and instantly asked that they might enter fresh bodies and again see daylight. But is this resurrection? Not at all: it is taking and entirely new body, not resuming the old one; it is a metempsychosis, without any relation to the manner in which we of the true faith are to rise again.
"The souls of the ancients did, I must acknowledge, make a very bad bargain in coming back to this world for seventy years at most to undergo once more all that we know is undergone in a life of seventy years, and then suffer another thousand years' discipline. In my humble opinion, there is no soul that would not be tired of this everlasting vicissitude of so short a life and so long a penance."
Also, under the entry for Soul, Voltaire states that "Pythagoras had been a cock, his relations swine; but no one found fault with this; his sect was cherished and revered by all, except for the cooks and those who had beans to sell." And then later on in the same section: "The historian Josephus, who was a Pharisee, tells us in book XIII of his Antiquities that the Pharisees believed in metempsychosis." [It should be noted that this interpretation of Josephus is not universally accepted.]

SiegfriedGoodfellow said...
Thank you for compiling this preponderance of evidence. Given all this, it is shocking that a university scholar could overlook it all. Meanwhile, those snide and ultimately shallow scoffers who for a brief time got to look down their noses at other pagans because they now felt superior due to seemingly scholarly backing can be chastened by the fact that many of us, unwilling to descend to their level, knew the truth all along. And how is one to trust the word of someone certified to be familiar with the archives who shows such astounding ignorance of such monuments within it? Any of us might be excused for overlooking the overwhelming minutiae within the archives, but to remain so ignorant about the classics and their lasting legacy? Astonishing. But the wheel, I think, is turning, and returning to some sense. The outrageous claims of many on all sides can be set aside for common sense, and you will prove to have been one of the architects in this new and restored edifice.
Robertt Mathiesen said...
It's scant consolation, Siegfried, that I have to offer. Being a professor (retired) at an Ivy League university myself, I can tell you that almost all published scholarship, at least in the humanities and in history, is highly *provisional*, and all of it is always subject to correction. Also, any scholar worth his salt knows that everything he has published only *approximates* to "the way things actually were/are."
If he is at all honest with himself, he knows, too, that much of his work will someday be made obsolete by the work of younger scholars who, perhaps, are yet to be born. Only the charlatans and fools among our ranks think otherwise.
So why be a scholar? The journey of a thousand miles is only to be accomplished step by tiny step, and there may be no end to the road at all. We scholars of today are the heirs of scholarly traditions that are older than the pyramids of Egypt; and yet our best efforts will seem as child's play to scholars who come after us five thousand years from now. Any single scholar, even the whole work of any single generation of scholars, is just a step or two down a very long road toward a destination none of us can imagine in any detail. Scholarship is a calling -- much more than it is a profession, and very much more than it is a job.
Along that road, too, much will be lost from one century to the next. For example, the Pagan author Celsus, writing against Christians in the 2nd century, tells us that Plato had something to say about the Third Eye. No extant work of Plato now mentions the Third Eye, but what we have of Plato is only his exoteric writings, and maybe only some of them. Plato's esoteric writings have been wholly lost to the ravages of time, and with them whatever he had written about the Third Eye. Or, perhaps, it was a part of Plato's teaching that he wholly refused to put into writing, which had come down to Celsus by oral tradition. (Plato mentions this unwritten teaching of his in one of his Letters.)
(By the way, this example is also relevant to Apuleius's argument about Western vs. Eastern sources for certain esoteric teachings. The Third Eye is another of those things in Western esoteric doctrine that are credited by some scholars to the influence of the East. The truth may be more complicated than that.)
So we have to be careful in supposing that Plato's extant writing give us everything of importance that he taught. They did not. We must also consider the evidence of later Platonists whose teachings may descend from Plato's esoteric writings or from his unwritten teaching.
[continued in the next post]
Robert Mathiesen said...
[continued from the previous post]
Nor is it just *ancient* esoteric writings (or unwritten teachings) that have been lost. I can think of a few seminal esoteric works published in the late 1800s or even the early 1900s, which anyone might have purchased at the time, that have come down to our days in only one known copy, or have even been wholly lost.
So no scholar, working at a given time and place, can ever get access to all of the relevant sources. And even the sources that he can access are often so vast that no one scholar can work through them all in a single lifetime and still manage to keep everything straight that he has found in them.
In short, perfect, flawless scholarship is n ideal that is beyond the strength and ability of any mortal scholar. We scholars do what we can, but you should never take anything we publish as the last word on any subject. You should correct us whenever you have found evidence that we did not take into account.
The best of us will thank you for correction openly. Many of us will insist on a hard argument to make you prove your point before yielding -- and that is only fair, I think, since we treat our fellow scholars in the same way. Others, being all too human, will only grudgingly admit that they were wrong and you were right.
But if you ever find a scholar, so-called, who absolutely refuses to believe in principle that he could ever be wrong, or who will not admit that there have ever been errors in anything he has published, then that person is not a scholar at all, but a charlatan, or possibly a fool. (For whatever it may be worth, I have not found Hutton to be such a person.)
For some reason, outsiders always seem surprised to hear such things about scholars, and sometimes they are even disappointed to hear them. Don't be! Know what we actually are, and forget about dreams of what you would like us to be. Knowledge is power, and knowledge of what sort of people scholars actually are will empower the reader.
Apuleius Platonicus said...
Robert, a scholar needs to have the basic facts right. Uncertainty and errors in scholarship should be due to genuine difficulties and ambiguities in the available evidence, not to the kind of base ignorance that a decent high school education should have removed, as is the case with Hutton.
Apuleius, as far as "should" goes, and the importance of a "basic high school education," you're right on target, and I also agree with you.
But Siegfried seemed to me to expect more of scholars than they are, in the very nature of things, able to give him, and I was addressing that. Perhaps I misunderstood him.
Now to address your quite valid points. As an insider, I can tell you that "should" is often miles apart from "is."
A "basic high school education" seems to be a thing of the distant past in most cities of the United States. To judge by what I have seen, a significant number of professors with tenure at Ivy League universities (including my own) never got one.
Also, accurate and exhaustive scholarship is sometimes mocked in principle by my humanistic or historical colleagues in the Ivy League, who deride it as old-fashioned Germanic pedantry. Their goals as academics are to keep up with the newest trends and to display all the right political and moral shibboleths.
In short, the institutional rot runs deep and wide, and it is firmly entrenched by now. A good number of scholars do what they can as individuals to uphold the best traditions of scholarship in the humanities and in history, but they have little institutional support as they do so. And they seem to grow fewer with each new decade.
Dr. Mathiesen,
You're absolutely correct to point out that scholars are human, like everyone else. This fact precedes a problem of following trends within the tides of existing scholarship, and lacking the boldness to step outside these tides to gain higher ground from which the larger momentum of the archives can be grasped. But the bold are often quickly chastened for stepping out of line, with rigor, erudition, dedication notwithstanding. I think of Martin Bernal, on the bolder side (and whatever one may think of his thesis, rigor, erudition, and dedication characterize it throughout) ; and Carlo Ginzburg on the still-bold but milder side, and both in their own ways, the one more than the other, have been chastized and scolded to trim their well-founded theories within the lines determined by the clique.
I've been pointing out the downfalls of primate politics on scholarship for years. There's been some good work written, for example, on how even in the hard sciences, disputes with a wide range of informed opinion are often quickly roped in by the stomping display-behavior of a prestigious alpha-male within the community. That may suffice for gorillas, but not my mind!
I don't expect scholars to be perfect. I'd like them to be trained in courage and creativity. The right hand needs the fetters of the archives held in unrelenting examination and close scrutiny, but the left hand needs the wings of imagination. While we're all human, surely it's not too much to ask scholars to behave a little more humbly when their display-behaviors stumble before the contents of classics any one of us can pick up for a couple bucks at a thrift store!
It's inexcusable, actually. Even Margot Adler's first edition of "Drawing Down the Moon" made it very clear that pagans as a whole are fairly educated and familiar with the classics, and so for the likes of Hutton to suggest that we don't understand what we're reading when we see obvious parallels between our practice and ancient practices documented on the page is just a circus! And while I understand that newly-emerging subcultures are themselves often a circus, full of charlatans and petty rivalries (demonstration of which I will give full credit to Hutton), such is the state of a burned-down forest in its beginnings stages of succession.
Scholars such as yourself who are able to hold your line while at the same time remaining humble I have the greatest respect for.

Iranians: The People the West are Allowed to Assassinate
By Ramin Mazaheri (Page 1 of 3 pages) 1 comment
Killing of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh
(Image by Wikipedia (commons.wikimedia.org), Author: Fars) Details Source DMCA
The recent assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh - and the total silence regarding any sanctions on those who illegally played judge, jury, invader and executioner - reminds us how very unique Iranians are: Iranians are the people whom Westerners feel they are legitimately allowed to assassinate.
The citizens of which other country get so shamefully and shockingly assassinated by Westerners with such regularity in the 21st century?
We can't compare the assassinations of Iranians with allegations (which did arise amid a once in a half-century Russophobia campaign in the West) that Russia poisoned a convicted double agent inside the United Kingdom. Not only did Western countries issue actual condemnations, unlike with the illegal murder of Fakhrizadeh, but they even expelled over 150 Russian diplomats.
The largest point to make clear is regarding why Iranians get this extraordinary (inhumane) treatment. It's important for journalists to answer the short-term question of, "Why Fakhrizadeh?", but we must also answer the long-term question of "Why Iran?"
The reality is that the average Westerners doesn't even know how they got to this point. The Iranian hostage crisis was long ago, Israel is the belligerent one which keeps invading (and losing), the US is the belligerent one which keeps invading (and losing) - the refusal to allow Iran to defend itself is something which the average Westerner mostly doesn't agree with and which they definitely cannot explain. That is to say: the reason is political - but Westerners are atrocious politicians, atrociously cynical about politics and atrociously misinformed about politics and socioeconomics due to their ever-more obvious censorship, propaganda and self-censorship.
There are several answers to "Why Iran?" Firstly, Iranians are an "expendable" people:
For a few centuries Westerners have regarded Iranians (as well as many others) as people who own things of value (natural resources), but who can produce nothing of value. Value is derived from supporting not just Westernism, but a Westernism which is totally unleavened - Westerners might say "contaminated" - with any non-Western ideas. Those who work for systems which do not conform to Western desires - no matter how great the democratic legitimacy of these systems -can be assassinated at will, in Western eyes. This is why the killing of a Qasem Soleimani or Fakhrizadeh does not merit consequences, unlike the assassination of a French general or a Japanese scientist.
Secondly, Iranians are a "ignorable" people:

Senior Abby Beecher (Pittsford, N.Y.) earned the first NEWMAC Defensive Player of the Year, in school history while junior Elizabeth Cameron (El Dorado Hills, Calif.) and sophomore Allie Puccio (New Hartford, N.Y.) joined her to give the Beavers three of the league's seven first-team players.
Beecher ranks first in the league in digs per set (4.40) and will enter the NCAA Tournament ranked second in the NEWMAC with 462 total digs in 31 matches this fall. She also leads the team with 44 service aces, which is just one shy of her career high set last season, ranks first on the program's all-time career list in digs per set (4.45), and is second with 1300 total digs.
Cameron is the first player in school history to earn All-NEWMAC first-team honors in three straight seasons after averaging 9.28 assists, 2.24 digs, 1.12 kills and 0.54 blocks per set in 31 matches. The conference tournament most outstanding player, she ranks fifth in the league in assists and is first among setters in kills and blocks per set and second in digs per set.
One of just two players in program history to surpass 900 assists in two straight years, Cameron has helped the Beavers record their highest hitting percentage (.222) in school history this season.
Puccio was named to the all-conference first team for the first time in her career after totaling 336 kills and averaging 3.39 kills per set to go along with a career-best .235 hitting percentage. She ranks fourth among NEWMAC hitters in total kills and fifth in kills per set, while also contributing 1.31 digs per set and a career-high 43 total blocks.
Babson (23-8) was selected as one of eight regional hosts for the NCAA Division III Championship for the first time in school history and will host the College of Mount Saint Vincent in the first round on Friday at 8 p.m.

Description "The St. Croix March" was written in 2009 by Spike Maiden Mueller. Here is a bright six-eight march with modern instrumentation which pays homage to the great Nineteenth-Century march composers such as Sousa and King. All parts share in both melodic and harmonic material with an abundance of counterpoint. The march was written for and premiered in the summer of 2010 by the St. Croix Valley Community Band of River Falls, Wisconsin.


Jared Jaffee never set up to become a professional poker player. Jaffee had aspirations of pursuing a career in law and wanted to join a high profile firm in New York. Things worked out different for this New York native who got his undergraduate degree in political science.
Jaffee applied for a number of jobs and got selected in just about all of them but he declined those offers because the idea of working a regular 9 to 5 job did not excite. Instead he took up pizza delivery job because the flexible hours allowed him the liberty to pursue some of his hobbies, one of which included playing poker.
His first real success in poker occurred in 2004, when he went on to win an online satellite event that gave him entry into the 2004 Party Poker Million which took place aboard a cruise ship. Jaffee enjoyed the experience of a free cruise ride and the opportunity to play again top professional poker players. He was ousted from the event within 90 minutes and went back to delivering pizza and playing at poker clubs on the side.
His parents were not very happy with the vocation he had chosen and wanted him to pursue his studies. Jaffee decided to apply for a law degree at Brooklyn Law School and passed the bar 3 years later. However, his passion was clearly at the poker table and he decided to play poker on a full time basis.
During the last 5 years, Jaffee has concentrated solely on playing professional and poker and he has experienced huge ups and downs. In 2010, he had a great year by winning the preliminary event at the Southern Poker Championship for $50,000 and later finishing fourth at the main event earning another $135,000. Some of the other highlights in his career include a second place at the main event of the Wynn Classic for $246,477, a third place at the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) event for $95,982. In July this year Jared won his first career WSOP Bracelet at the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Mixed Max.
However, there have been numerous occasions where Jaffee has not done well. He has lost his roll on more than one occasion and had to be assisted by his parents and friends to get back into the action. But with experience, he has managed to improve with every passing year and has accumulated over $5 million in career prize money.
Nobody is going to hire me after all of these years I put into poker and I wouldn't want them to. This is it for me. My bankroll looks good, but it's looked good before and didn't last. I'm just trying to keep it going. The goal is to win enough money that I don't have to worry about money anymore. I want to buy a place in New York, make a few wise investments and play poker for fun. I want to get to that point where it's no longer a grind.
