                lCursor.close();
            }

        }
    });

where name and number are array list of type String. You will get all selected name and there numbers. Now you can show them in Edit Text as you like.

Q: How can I get the Calendar Overlay to save when saving the calendar as a template? I have created a custom calendar with 2 custom content types displayed in different colours using conditional views and a calendar overlay.
When I save the calendar as a template, the calendar overlay is not inherited.
How can I keep the calendar overlay?

A: I ran into the same issue, though I wasn't using custom content types.
When you create a new calendar from the template, the template overlays are looking for the calendar ID that the overlay is associated with. In my case, I had deleted the original calendar before creating a new calendar from the template.
To fix this, go back into calendar overlays and make sure that each one is pointing to the correct calendar.
Hopefully I understood you problem correctly, and that this helps.

Why Download ZZT Worlds From Alternate Sources?

By acquiring ZZT worlds from other sources, you're helping to support the developers in ways that the Museum does not. Most files available on other sites are found on aggregate sites such as itch which provide anayltics letting authors see how often their world's page was viewed and files downloaded. Increasing these metrics isn't just an ego boost for the author, but may be used when determining where the file is displayed elsewhere on the site for users browsing content. Acquiring files from these sites can help spread a ZZT world to an audience not specifically looking for ZZT games and subsequently also help introduce ZZT to a wider audience.

Additionally, non-Museum sites also provide payment systems allowing authors to use "Pay What You Want" models or set an explicit price on a download. The Museum of ZZT will not freely distribute any files that require payment to download.

For better preservation, file viewer support, and in some cases the ability to play in the browser, these freely available files are are mirrored here and still available for download from the Museum of ZZT.

Verison Changes

Please note that if you're trying to download a specific revision of a world, what is available on the Museum of ZZT and what is available on external sites may differ. Double check version information and filenames to make sure you're downloading what you're after!

Winterberry is primarily grown for its highly ornamental fruit. It features an abundance of magnificent red berries from mid fall to late winter. It has dark green foliage throughout the season. The pointy leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. The flowers are not ornamentally significant.
Winterberry is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a shapely oval form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
Winterberry will grow to be about 8 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 8 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more. This is a dioecious species, meaning that individual plants are either male or female. Only the females will produce fruit, and a male variety of the same species is required nearby as a pollinator.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in moist to wet soil, and will even tolerate some standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This species is native to parts of North America.

Q: Why only sudo'ers can execute the file? How is it possible that to be able to execute a binary file with 755 permission, one has to be in sudo'ers list ?
I am trying to let a program run by a non-sudo user.
It does not happen, but if I execute via sudo or as root, it works as it should.
File permission is 755 root root.
The whole program directory is in /opt.
Some details:
Ubuntu 12.04 Server, 64bit
the software is basically an old 32bit version of Firefox 1.9.something, modified to some extent to
connect to a Tomcat server.
update
a user not listed in sudo'ers list can start the program.
only my sudo user cannot, i.e. by running simply ./program,
sudo ./programm runs just fine.

A: The most probable reason is that the program, once running as a normal user, is trying to read some file or doing some operation which is reserved to privileged users (basically root).
For example, if your program is trying to using (binding) to one of the lower internet ports (less than 1024) it needs root privileges to do that (1). Or it try to read a file or use a library which is marked for root only.
The hammer(2) solution is to mark the program set-uid root (SUID-root). This is quite dangerous, it should be avoided by coding the program so it does not need it, and it is practically impossible to distribute --- I would never accept set-uid programs form unofficial sources in my computer, and even then I don't like them either. I am posting the answer because I think it's good to know that they exists.
So making sure that all the services/files that the program uses are accessible to it is the correct solution, otherwise probably the program must be run as root with all the consequences.
Big fat warning: this is dangerous, and SUID-root programs can do whatever they want to the system. If they have bugs, the user can easily take control of the whole system or destroy it.
If you make a program set-uid root, anyone can run it, and it will run as root. This will work only for binary executable; set-uid bit do not work for scripts (shell, python or whatever).
If you really want to run a script as root, you need a wrapper, as the one in this answer on stackoverflow. But before doing that, read all the question an be sure to understand the (not so) fine points about security. If you really want that script running as root for every user, I would opt for editing sudoers so that they can run it with sudo without having any password asked. This answer on stackoverflow lists a lot of ideas.
Example of set-uid usage: I make a copy of cat (output the content of a file to terminal), change it to be owned by root, and try to read a file owned by root and that only root can read:
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% cp /bin/cat .
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% ls -l ./cat
-rwxr-xr-x 1 romano romano 46884 Nov 21 09:49 ./cat
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% sudo chown root.root ./cat
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% ls -l
total 48
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46884 Nov 21 09:49 cat
(1)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% ./cat /etc/shadow- > /dev/null
./cat: /etc/shadow-: Permission denied

Now, I change the program to be suid-root (notice the s in the permission flags):
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% sudo chmod u+s ./cat
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% ls -l ./cat
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 46884 Nov 21 09:49 ./cat
(0)asus-romano:~/tmp/suidtest% ./cat /etc/shadow- > /dev/null

No error...
Again, do not do it unless you trust completely the program and the users.
(1) well, there are fine-grained privileges in Linux called capabilities, but are seldom used and quite complex...
(2) when you have a hammer, all things starts looking like nails...

A: I would try moving the file to a group other than root...
If you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
and you -ll and see XXXX  root root
Means that your file/program belongs to "root" and is 755-able to members of the "root" group.  Therefore, either
1) add your other non-root users to the root group, or
2) create a brand-new group and assign that group to the files/programs you are running.
Here for creating groups and stuff: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_Groups
I hope that helps!

I'm going to have to somehow learn how to motivate myself. External motivators have their place, I know, but if I keep slacking off and getting back in gear so often, it's because I have absolutely no drive within myself. Knowing that is easy, finding a way to do this thing and keep it up is near impossible! SP is giving me a million external motivators, I've yet to take one to heart and make it my own, mostly because these motivators seem so temporary to me, so not something I would come up with myself. I'm becoming reliant on the system and that's not the point! I should be able to not log on and still live the life. I'm not 2, after all. I should not have to baby step at this point...I should already be racing towards my goals.
You have a lot of "shoulds" on your shoulders, don't you? And that is such a hard place to be...shoulda, woulda,coulda....and it is not something to take lightly but to look at and see how hard we are on ourselves!!! I think at different times in our lives, we need extra help...after all, we are trying to change a whole lifestyle, a whole mindset, not just diet!!! And the internal drive for that does come within, but sometimes, I have found, I just have to "fake it until I make it!" If we need to log on to do the deal, then do it~! If we need to journal to keep track, then do it! Just do it no matter what we feel! I am proud of you for hanging in there! Keep on Sparkin'! You are beautiful and you WILL SUCCEED!!!!
Actually, you are a success already! Do you know that?
Have you tried the visual motivation? Creating a virtual model at mvm.com of your current size and your desired size. Or pictures. I actually printed off one and leave it on my desk. It is one of the few external motivators that I have managed to impact me when I'm not online.

The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque (Persian: مسجد نصیر الملک Masjed-i Nasir al-Mulk), also known as the Pink Mosque, is a traditional mosque in Shiraz, Iran. It is located in Gawd-i Arabān quarter, near Shah Cheragh Mosque.
The mosque includes extensive colored glass in its facade, and displays other traditional elements such as the Panj Kāse ("five concaved") design. It is named in popular culture as the Pink Mosque, due to the usage of considerable pink color tiles for its interior design.


In the world of marketing, misconceptions are rampant and can cause a business to lose out on customers. Despite the quick adoption of modern marketing concepts, the discipline is surrounded by different myths. It's true that business-consumer interactions have rapidly transformed in the past few years. The emergence of new age tools and different legitimate platforms has driven the conversion online. In this regard, a smart and goal-oriented marketing strategy is important as it brings desired results.
Marketing misconceptions can limit the effectiveness of any plan and cause a significant loss of sales. Separating the fact from fiction is absolutely necessary as the different areas of an online marketing strategy including social media, email marketing, and content marketing can boost one's brand image and clientele base.
But exactly how and why are the marketing misconceptions harmful? These are made particularly inescapable by the sheer volume of misinformation. The malice of myths is making companies act out of fear and draining away billions from their coffers.
Top PR agencies in Delhi are of the opinion that marketing professionals are harbouring dangerous and unrealistic expectations based on invalid marketing principles to attain success. Since the old misconceptions are pervasive today, the result is many companies debilitate their longevity in the absence of preparedness for executing a result-oriented marketing strategy.
Here are some of the common marketing misconceptions that can limit the efficiency of any marketing plan.
A marketing plan decides how a company will be portrayed. Target audience, messages, channels, tactics, offers, budget, etc. are outlined in a good marketing plan. A cohesive and integrated plan ensures a business is able to get the best return on the marketing investment.
An advertising initiative is one of the possible ways that can deliver the marketing message to the consumers. Integrated PR firms feel that the rapidly changing business environment demands marketing plans that focus on different tactics and how they will work collaboratively to attain targets like lead generation, sales, buzz building, etc.
It is important to understand your consumers: who they are, what they think about you and why they should go for your services/products. When opting for the services of a public relations agency, we suggest going for proper client-backed research as it offers insight and helps tap future prospects.
Promoting your business prospects is a good idea to strengthen your customer base, but understanding the needs of the existing clients helps bag repeat business. Existing customers need regular reinforcement and it is a mistake to think they don't need promotional messages.
Amongst all of the strategic errors that businesses, even market leaders, often make is of taking their current consumers for granted and not paying attention to their requirements.
The leading PR agencies are of the opinion that customers are the ones who call the shots nowadays.
One of the greatest misconceptions regarding marketing channels like broadcast advertising or direct mail is that they are too expensive. Channels you considered out of reach can be accessed without hampering your budget.
Regardless of the industry you belong to, we guarantee that your clients (existing and prospective) are active on social media. To understand how your marketplace is shaping, every business should maintain an active presence on social media.
In fact, the PR industry believes that there is a social platform for every business that can push growth. This is one of the reasons why public relations agencies in India are providing social media services as part of their digital marketing initiatives.
It is time to get the wheels to turn and emerge as a quintessential game changer in your field with the help of social media.
Referred to as complex and time-consuming, the world of online marketing is certainly overwhelming. But this doesn't mean that it should be treated as a buried concept. Standing out from others, when one is jostling to make one's mark, is no easy task. Online marketing is essential as it offers excellent opportunities to connect with the target audience.

Received: 26 June 2017
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a highly progressive and debilitating neurodegenerative disease, which usually leads to the death of affected individuals within a few years after the onset of symptoms. ALS is currently incurable and very little is known about its pathophysiology. Finding validated biomarkers will help us to advance our understanding of ALS etiology and find better strategies for early diagnosis and management of the disease. The main aim of the present systematic review is to evaluate the concentration of 11 frequently reported biomarkers for ALS in peripheral blood and CSF of patients diagnosed with ALS compared with controls.
This systematic review protocol has been established according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol (PRISMA-P) 2015 guideline. We will include all types of observational studies with human subjects that investigated the concentrations of intended biomarkers (amyloid beta (Aβ-42), tau and phosphorylated tau (p-Tau), neurofilaments, S100β, cystatin C, progranulin (PGRN), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP43), YKL-40, and CHIT1 in CSF or peripheral blood of ALS patients for initial assessment. Also, we will include case series with a minimum of 10 cases and clinical trials which have measured baseline biomarker levels. Case studies, case reports, reviews, letters, and animal and in vitro studies will be excluded. Multiple electronic databases including Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), ISI Web of Science, and EMBASE will be searched to find all eligible articles published since 1980. No language restriction will be applied. All titles and abstracts retrieved by searching information sources will be evaluated independently by two authors against the eligibility criteria. The following information will be extracted from each included study by two independent authors: bibliographic details (first author, study title, year of publication, country), demographics and clinical information (number of patients and controls, type of ALS and controls, study design, age, gender, specimen, biomarkers levels, ALS functional rating scale Revised (ALSFRS-R), duration of disease), and measurements (method, value type, biomarkers levels). We will use the extracted mean and standard deviation (SD) of biomarkers concentrations to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The primary outcome measures are the mean difference of biomarker levels between ALS patients and controls, different types of ALS, and ALS patients with genetic mutations.
We will systematically review the literature and analyze studies of biomarker level in CSF and peripheral blood of patients with ALS and controls. The results will help us to identify biomarkers with possible diagnostic and prognostic value.
Neurodegeneration
Biological marker
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a highly progressive neurodegenerative disease, which usually leads to severe disability, respiratory dysfunction, and death in the affected patients within 3 to 5 years after the onset of symptoms [1]. Moreover, ALS is the most common type of motor neuron disease (MND).
ALS is relatively a rare disease with the worldwide incidence and prevalence rates of 2 and 6 per 100,000 respectively [2, 3]. However, while the population is getting older, it is estimated that the number of patients with ALS will significantly increase in the following 20 years mainly in developing countries such as Iran [4]. Despite the low incidence of ALS, its economic burden to society and patients is higher than other common neurological disorders such as stroke, dementia, and Parkinson's disease [5]. ALS is more common among the elderly population, but it can be diagnosed in younger individuals too [6]. The overall incidence rate of ALS is higher in males than females [3], but bulbar-onset ALS is diagnosed slightly more often in women [7].
Clinically, ALS is a heterogeneous disease, and patients may present with different signs and symptoms such as progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, dysarthria and dysphagia, cognitive impairment, and executive dysfunction, based on the degree of upper and lower motor neuron involvement, site of onset (bulbar or spinal), and presence of genetic mutations [8]. Most ALS cases are sporadic with no apparent familial history of other related neurological conditions such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD). According to the population-based studies, less than 5% of ALS cases are familial, but this percentage may be over 10 in referral centers [9, 10]. Patients with the familial type of ALS are usually younger than sporadic patients, and ALS-related gene mutations are more frequent among them [11]. Patients with classic ALS or spinal onset ALS present with a combination of the upper motor neuron (UMN) and lower motor neuron (LMN) signs in their limbs. Bulbar muscles are the initial site of involvement in approximately one third of ALS cases. It is estimated that the incidence rate of bulbar-onset ALS is more than 40% in some European nations and is lower than 28% in North America and Asia [9]. Dysarthria, dysphagia, and tongue fasciculations are the hallmarks of bulbar-onset ALS [12]. A minority of patients may initially present with either of UMN or LMN signs and symptoms.
No specific diagnostic test is available for ALS, and patients with characteristic findings are usually diagnosed only when other possible causes were ruled out. According to the ALS diagnostic criteria, Revised EI Escorial criteria [13], patients are divided into groups with definite, probable, possible, and familial ALS based on the evidence available from clinical, laboratory, and electrodiagnostic investigations. Epidemiologic studies have shown that ALS patients are usually diagnosed with a 12-month delay, and around 10% of patients diagnosed with ALS are later recognized to have another similar disorder [14].
The exact etiology of ALS is currently unknown. In recent years, a growing body of literature has strongly supported the pathologic involvement of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, infection, and glutamate toxicity in ALS [8]. Based on these presumed pathogenic mechanisms, various drugs were tested for possible clinical efficacy, but unfortunately, none of them were successful so far.
To advance our understanding of ALS etiology and find a better strategy for early diagnosis and management of the disease, validated biomarkers, which are defined as "objectively measured and evaluated parameters for indication of pathological processes, disease progression or response to pharmacological interventions," are urgently needed [15]. Body fluids especially blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are best places for finding a biomarker. Blood samples are obtained easily by a minimally invasive procedure, but they are less sensitive than CSF for measurement of CNS-related markers. CSF has direct interaction with CNS and is a better choice for seeking biomarkers of neurological diseases. However, compared with blood, CSF is collected by a more invasive procedure, which might limit its applicability in the clinical setting.
The aim of the present systematic review is to evaluate the concentration of 11 frequently reported biomarkers for ALS in peripheral blood and CSF of patients diagnosed with ALS compared with controls.
This systematic review protocol has been established according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol (PRISMA-P) 2015 guideline (Additional file 1).
We will include all types of observational studies with human subjects that investigated the concentrations of intended biomarkers in CSF and peripheral blood of ALS patients versus controls (healthy participants or patients with other types of neurological disorders) for initial assessment. We may include studies that have no control group if they have reported biomarkers levels among different types of ALS patients or patients with and without specific gene mutations. Also, we will include case series with a minimum of 10 cases and clinical trials which have measured baseline biomarkers levels. Case studies, case reports, reviews, letters, and animal and in vitro studies will be excluded.
Male and female adults (18 years of age or older) with ALS diagnosis according to El Escorial criteria (revised version or original based on the time of the study) will be included. We will exclude patients with neurological and non-neurological comorbidities that may affect biomarker levels.
Types of interventions
Studies which evaluated the concentration of either of following biomarkers in CSF and peripheral blood of ALS patients and controls with appropriate measurement methods, e.g., enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Biomarkers: Amyloid beta (Aβ-42); Tau and phosphorylated tau (p-Tau); Neurofilaments; S100β; Cystatin C; progranulin (PGRN); Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP); Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1); Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF); TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP43); YKL-40; and chitotriosidase (CHIT1).
Types of outcome measures
Mean difference of biomarkers concentrations between ALS patients and controls
Mean difference of biomarker concentrations between male and female patients
Association between biomarker concentrations and cognitive performance
Association between biomarker concentrations and ALS progression rate
Association between biomarker concentrations and ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS)
Association between biomarker concentrations and survival
Electronic search
We will search multiple electronic databases including Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (PubMed), ISI Web of Science, and EMBASE to find all eligible articles published since 1980. No language restriction will be applied. We will search these databases with the keywords listed in Additional file 2.
Searching other resources
The reference lists of all included articles and relevant reviews will be checked to find further titles. We will search conference papers and other grey literature via sources recommended by Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions [16]. Principal authors will be contacted for additional data if necessary.
Study records
All titles and abstracts retrieved by searching information sources will be evaluated independently by two authors against the eligibility criteria. If deciding on the eligibility of an article is not possible by screening the title and abstract, the full-text article will be assessed by at least two authors. Disagreements regarding eligibility of studies will be resolved by discussion or consultation with a third researcher when necessary. To avoid duplicate publication bias, we will include only the earliest version of papers that share the same data sets.
The following information will be extracted from each included study by two independent authors: bibliographic details: first author, study title, year of publication, and country; demographics and clinical information: number of patients and controls, type of ALS and controls, study design, age, gender, specimen, ALSFRS-R, and duration of disease; measurements: method, value type, and biomarker levels; STROBE-ME checklist [17]. Any disagreements between authors will be resolved by discussion.
Two authors will independently assess the quality of included studies and risk of bias using the revised version of Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) [18]. Summary of quality assessment results and number of papers with a high, low, or unclear risk of bias will be displayed as a table.
We will address the risk of bias due to the effect of motor dysfunction on some cognitive domains (including executive functions, visuoconstruction abilities, psychomotor speed, and MMSE) by effect size re-calculation as was mentioned by Beeldman et al. in their previously published meta-analysis [19].
We will use the mean and standard deviation (SD) of biomarkers concentrations which we extract from individual studies to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). In case of significant heterogeneity, we will use random-effects meta-analysis. Otherwise, the fixed-effects model will be chosen for meta-analysis. All meta-analyses will be performed using the STATA version 14.0.
Assessment of heterogeneity
We will apply Q statistic tests and the I2 index for heterogeneity assessment. The I2 index will be interpreted according to the Cochrane handbook [16]. When the I2 index is less than 40%, the statistical heterogeneity is not significant.
Investigation of heterogeneity
To find the possible sources of heterogeneity and to investigate their influence on biomarkers levels, we will undertake subgroup analyses based on the following factors if sufficient data are available:
Population-related factors: type of ALS (sporadic or familial, classic or bulbar-onset), category of ALS diagnosis according to the revised version of El Escorial criteria, co-occurrence of ALS and FTD, type of controls, type of gene mutations, country, race/ethnic group (as is reported in the main article or based on the geographical area of the study), gender, age at the time of diagnosis, survival time, disease severity, and other clinically relevant parameters.
Intervention-related factors: type of recruitment (population-based or referral-based settings), measurements method (ELISA, Luminex, others)
The influence of methodological quality of included studies on overall effects will be evaluated by excluding studies with high risk of bias and rerunning the analyses.
Assessment of reporting bias
We will use the Egger test to assess the influence of unpublished studies or publication bias if the meta-analysis includes a minimum of 5 papers [20].
Confidence in cumulative evidence
We will use the grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach for assessing the strength of evidence.
In this systematic review and meta-analysis, first, we will assess the concentration of commonly reported biomarkers in patients with ALS, and then, we will clarify how these biomarkers can be related to clinical characteristics of the patients and their disease outcome by subgroup analyses. We hope that the results of this study will help us to characterize ALS and its subtypes better and guide researchers to find possible therapeutic targets and diagnostic tests for ALS.

Q: Types of Go struct methods that satisfy an interface Given the following Go code example:
package main

import "fmt"

type greeter interface {
    hello()
    goodbye()
}

type tourGuide struct {
    name string
}

func (t tourGuide) hello() {
    fmt.Println("Hello", t.name)
}

func (t *tourGuide) goodbye() {
    fmt.Println("Goodbye", t.name)
}

func main() {
    var t1 tourGuide = tourGuide{"James"}
    t1.hello()   // Hello James
    t1.goodbye() // Goodbye James (same as (&t1).goodbye())

    var t2 *tourGuide = &tourGuide{"Smith"}
    t2.hello()   // Hello Smith
    t2.goodbye() // Goodbye Smith (same as (*t2).hello())

    // illegal: t1 is not assignable to g1 (why?)
    // var g1 greeter = t1

    var g2 greeter = t2
    g2.hello()   // Hello Smith
    g2.goodbye() // Goodbye Smith
}

I'm able to call the two methods of the struct tourGuide using either a variable of type tourGuide t1 or a pointer to tourGuide t2. In other words, I can call a method with T receiver using a variable of type T or *T. Similarly, I can call a method with *T receiver using a variable of type T (if T is addressable) or *T. I understand that the compiler handles the differences here (see my comments in the code).
However, things change when we are implementing interfaces. In the above code, a variable of type greeter interface is assignable from a pointer to tourGuide but not from a tourGuide.
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? Why am I able to call t1.hello() and t1.goodbye() but somehow t1 is not enough for the interface greeter?

A: If a method has a pointer receiver, only a pointer value can be used as the receiver value. So to call this method on some value, the value itself must be a pointer, or it must be possible to acquire its address (to be used as the receiver).
If you have a variable for example, it is addressable and thus it's possible to get its address and use that as the receiver. And the spec allows you to do this, this happens automatically.
Values wrapped in interfaces are not addressable. When an interface value is created, the value that is wrapped in the interface is copied. It is therefore not possible to take its address. Theoretically you could allow to take the address of the copy, but that would be the source of (even) more confusion than what benefit it would provide, as the address would point to a copy, and methods with pointer receiver could only modify the copy and not the original.
See this answer which details / proves that values are copied when the interface value is created: How can a slice contain itself?

A: if you have a pointer to a struct then go will allow you to access the properties on the struct and its functions which have value type receivers (as apposed to pointer receivers) without having to dereference your pointer, but this only works for one level of pointer, see your code below where I turn t2 into a pointer to a pointer to a tourguide, at this point I need to explicitly dereference it to make it back into a pointer to a tourguide. think of the first level of a pointer to a struct as being a special case that go allows you to use syntatic sugar to access the value types properties and functions to save you having to constantly manually dereference you variables.
package main

import "fmt"

type greeter interface {
    hello()
    goodbye()
}

type tourGuide struct {
    name string
}

func (t tourGuide) hello() {
    fmt.Println("Hello", t.name)
}

func (t *tourGuide) goodbye() {
    fmt.Println("Goodbye", t.name)
}

func main() {
    var t1 tourGuide = tourGuide{"James"}
    t1.hello()   // Hello James
    t1.goodbye() // Goodbye James (same as (&t1).goodbye())

    var tmpT2 *tourGuide = &tourGuide{"Smith"}
    var t2 **tourGuide = &tmpT2
    (*t2).hello()   // Hello Smith
    (*t2).goodbye() // Goodbye Smith (same as (*t2).hello())

    //illegal: t1 is not assignable to g1 (why?)
    //var g1 greeter = t1

    //now this is illegal too
    //var g2 greeter = t2

    var g3 greeter = (*t2)
    g3.hello()   // Hello Smith
    g3.goodbye() // Goodbye Smith
}

A: My answer here explains why Go prevents you from taking the address of a value stored in an interface.
tl;dr its because a pointer to A which points to a value of type A in an interface would be invalidated when a value of different type B is subsequently stored in the interface.

Hi Everyone!! This article will share That Little Square Box Questions & Answers.
In my previous posts, I have shared the questions and answers of Saving The Gharial, The Visitor and Coming Home to Delhi so, you can check these posts as well.
Question 1: Who did the speaker think the two men were? What did he think they were up to?
Answer: The speaker thought that the two men were the agents of some terror group, who intended to sacrifice themselves, their fellow-passengers and the ship, in one great explosion. By overhearing their terrible conversation, the speaker suspected that they were carrying a bomb with them in the suspicious little square box.
Question 2: Read and answer the questions:
…..a whirl of conflicting ideas was battling in my mind.
(a) What were the different ideas that the speaker could not decide between?
Answer: The speaker was deliberating in his mind about the correct course of action. He wondered if he should accuse them directly before the Captain and the passengers or if he should seek private audience with the Captain. He pondered over the latter for some time before deciding against it. The possibility of being interviewed by a stranger and confronted by the two suspects did not particularly appeal to him.
(b) What did he finally decide? Why?
Answer: He finally decided to wait a little more and follow the two men very closely and gather more intelligence before making the matter public. In this way, he could reach to authentic conclusion.
How slowly the moments seem to pass! I could count them by the throbbing of my heart.
(a) Where was the speaker?
Answer: The speaker was hiding in one of the lifeboats hung over the deck in an attempt to monitor on the conversation of the two suspicious men.
(b) How was the speaker feeling at that moment? Why?
Answer: The speaker lay tightly wound in a knot of anxiety and deadly fear as he listened to the mysterious words of the two men. It convinced him that they were minutes away from blowing up the ship.
Death stared me in the face, whether I did or did not give the alarm.
(a) Why did the speaker think he was about to die?
Answer: The speaker thought that he was about to die because he was sure that the two men were going to damage the ship and the passengers at the risk of their own life using explosives in the box. he thought himself helpless.
(b) Why did he think there was no chance of living?
Answer: He thought so because he knew that he was alone there on the deck and he had no time to stop them. the two men were talking that they had to act on their plan just that moment.
Question 5: What do you think the two men thought of the speaker when he jumped out in front of them? Which lines from the text support your answer?
Answer: When the speaker jumped out in front of them, the two men thought him mad. Flannigan told his companion to work according to their plan. The following lines support this:
"He's mad!" said Flannigan. "Time's up. Let it off, Mullar."
Question 6: Which paragraph tells us:
(a) What the two men were doing on-board the ship?
Answer: Paragraph 49 tells us about what the two men were doing on-board the ship.
(b) Why the two men were hiding the box?
Answer: Paragraph 50 speaks of the need to hide the box because many captains had prejudice against organizing such events aboard their ship.
(c) How the box worked?
Answer: Paragraph 51 gives us the exact working mechanism of the box which was especially manufactured to keep the pigeons from prying eyes while also enabling the men to feed the birds.
So, these were That Little Square Box Questions & Answers.

A Syrian government official says he hopes that the "nightmare" of Palmyra is over after reports emerged that the army has reaching the historic town, which was held by Islamic State militants since May.
Maamoun Abdulkarim, who heads the Antiquities and Museums Department in Damascus, says he hopes the damage inflicted by IS militants on the town's archaeological treasures will not be worse than initially thought.
Many of the Palmyra's Roman-era relics, including the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel and the iconic Arch of Triumph, have been blown up by IS. The town, a UNESCO world heritage site, has been held by IS since May.
Abdulkarim said on Thursday that the battle for Palmyra is a "cultural battle for the entire world and everyone who believes in common human heritage."
Syrian state TV says government forces have entered the historic town of Palmyra, which has been held by the Islamic State group since last May.
The TV is quoting its reporter embedded with the troops as saying that around midday on Thursday, the fighting was concentrated near the archaeological site on the southwestern edge of the town.
The TV aired footage showing soldiers walking and SUVs driving near a building that appears to have been a hotel.
A Syrian soldier told the TV station that he has a message for the IS: "You will be crushed under the feet of the Syrian Arab Army."
Syrian troops have been on the offensive for days in an attempt to capture the town that is home to one of the world's most famous archaeological sites.
A Syrian official and a an opposition monitoring group say Syrian government forces are 1 kilometer (half mile) away from the heart of Palmyra, an ancient town controlled by the Islamic State group.
Homs governor Talal Barazi tells The Associated Press that the army has determined three directions to storm the town and is now clearing all roads leading to Palmyra from mines and explosives.
Barazi said Thursday he's predicting an "overwhelming victory in Palmyra" within the next 48 hours.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the troops are facing tough resistance from IS extremists as they try to penetrate the town's eastern and southern limits.
The Islamic State group has controlled Palmyra since May and has destroyed many of its famed archaeological sites.
An Iraqi military spokesman says the long-awaited military operation to recapture the northern city of Mosul from Islamic State militants "has begun."
The spokesman for the Joint Military Command, Brig. Gen. Yahya Rasool, says Iraqi forces retook several villages on the outskirts of the town of Makhmour, east of Mosul, on Thursday morning.
Rasool says the U.S.-led international coalition is providing air support. He wouldn't divulge more details.
It was not immediately clear how long such a complex and taxing operation could take. Mosul lies 360 kilometers, or 225 miles, northwest of Baghdad.
It's Iraq's second-largest city and it fell to Islamic State group during the militants' June 2014 onslaught. Mosul is also the largest city in the Islamic State group's self-declared caliphate.

Ep. 9: Going Underground with Chris Hoke Expand
"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." These words from the Book of Matthew are quoted often, but it's rare to see someone living them out, and inviting the rest of us to join him. This week on our show, we're joined by friend of the journal Chris Hoke, who does both of these things.
If you visit Chris's website, you'll see three titles under his name: Gang Pastor, Jail Chaplain, and Writer. He and his colleague Neaners Garcia, who is also a former inmate and gang leader, are the founders and Co-Executive Directors of Underground Ministries, a team that works to promote prisoner relationships and reentry after incarceration. Chris chronicles his experiences in his writing, which you can find in several journals, including Image Journal, and on our blog, Good Letters. In 2013, he graduated from the Seattle Pacific University MFA program, and in 2015 HarperCollins published his first book Wanted: A Spiritual Pursuit Through Jail, Among Outlaws, and Across Borders.
This year, Chris served as the chaplain at the MFA's Whidbey residency, where Paul Anderson sat down with him to talk about his work. You are about to hear that conversation. Plus, stay tuned for a sneak peek of our next episode featuring poet Scott Cairns.
Ep. 8: Carolyn Forché and the Poetry of Witness Expand

Ep. 2: Gina Ochsner and the Power of Useless Art Expand
On Episode 2 of The Image Podcast, Gina Ochsner, author of The Hidden Letters of Velta B., joins us to discuss the power of "childish" art forms like folk and fairy tales.
Also, Greg Wolfe and Paul Anderson sit down to discuss Lincoln in the Bardo, George Saunders's bizarre debut novel. Don't worry; you can still listen if you haven't read the book! Paul also shares a piece from the Good Letters archive about his days as a teacher in Chicago, and how Image found its way into the classroom.
Ep. 1: Richard Rodriguez Expand
