Q: MongoDB pushing objects to array within object I am trying to push a new object to an array with objects inside another object (see DB Schema here: MongoDB set-up). Trying to push to notes within subtopics[2] object within the topic.
This is the code but it ends up deleting the specified subtopic id:
router.patch('/:topicId/:subtopicId/note', async (req, res) => {
    try {
        const subtopicNote = await Note.update(
            {_id: req.params.topicId},
            {subtopics :
                    { _id: req.params.subtopicId,
                        $push: {
                        notes:
                            {note: req.body.note}
                    }
                }
            }
        );
        res.json(subtopicNote);
    } catch (err) {
        res.json({ messsage: err})
    }
})

A: This worked for me :)
router.patch('/:topicId/:subtopicId/note', async (req, res) => {

    try {
        const subtopicNote = await Note.updateOne(
            {_id: req.params.topicId,  subtopics : {"$elemMatch": {"_id":req.params.subtopicId}}},
            { $push : {
                'subtopics.$.notes': {note: req.body.note}
            }
            }
        )

        res.json(subtopicNote);
    } catch (err) {
        res.json({ message: err})
    }
})

Should Chargers sign CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie?
LANDOVER, MD - NOVEMBER 23: Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie #41 of the New York Giants celebrates as Janoris Jenkins #20 (not pictured) returns an interception for a third quarter touchdown against the Washington Redskins at FedExField on November 23, 2017 in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
The Chargers have reportedly shown interest in cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Does it make sense for the Chargers to sign him?
The Chargers lost Pro Bowl corner Jason Verrett to a torn Achilles at the start of training camp. Verrett, who was entering the final year of his rookie contract, was expected to start opposite Casey Hayward.
It's unfortunate news. But as much as it stings losing one of your more talented players, the Chargers have fared well without Verrett, who will now miss a total of 55 games in four years. Their secondary is one of the deepest in the league. Hayward, who was acquired in free agency two years ago, is arguably the top corner in the league right now, and 2016 undrafted rookie Trevor Williams and 2017 fifth-rounder Desmond King shined last season, too. All three players ranked inside the top 15 at their position, according to Pro Football Focus standards.
But apparently, the Chargers still feel like they need to add more depth at corner. According to NFL's Ian Rapoport, L.A. has shown interest in former Giants CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
One name to keep an eye on: Former #Giants CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The free agent is receiving the most interest from the #Seahawks, but the #Chargers are in the mix as well, given their recent CB injury.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 30, 2018
Rodgers-Cromartie has played for four different teams since being drafted in the first round in 2008. He has spent the last four seasons with the Giants after signing a five-year, $35 million deal in 2014. He became a cap casualty this offseason, as the Giants were able to clear $6.5 million in cap space by releasing him.
Rodgers-Cromartie may be 32 years old, but he's been a solid corner for New York and his addition would make any team better. Last season, he allowed the third-fewest yards per reception among all CBs, as noted by PFF. The year before, he picked off six passes, which matched a career high, and batted down 21 balls. Overall, he's a playmaker who has 439 combined tackles, 145 pass deflections, 30 interceptions and six pick-sixes to his name.
The Chargers are stacked at corner, but Verrett's injury definitely put a little fear in the coaches' eyes. Rodgers-Cromartie would bring valuable experience to a defense that's very young. He'd also bring some height (6-2), and you know defensive coordinator Gus Bradley loves those taller corners. Not only that, but Rodgers-Cromartie has been an extremely durable player who has missed just seven games in 10 seasons.
The price has to be right, but it can't hurt adding more corners, especially in a pass-happy league.

Q: Cxf SOAP logging. Different services in different files My problem is I have to work with different services and:
1. Having this in my beans.xml
<cxf:bus >
        <cxf:features>
            <cxf:logging/>
        </cxf:features>

    </cxf:bus>

and this in log4.xml:
 <logger name="org.apache.cxf" additivity="false">
    <level value="info" />
    <appender-ref ref="sessionSoapFile" />
    <appender-ref ref="console" />
</logger>

I can see im my console only soap from one of all my service clients. And I cant' understand why. Can add that service that write logs correctly declared like this:
<jaxws:client id="sessionService" address="${session-storage.url}/services/SessionService?wsdl" serviceClass="ru.vtsft.exchange.session.service.SessionService">
    <jaxws:dataBinding>
        <bean class="org.apache.cxf.aegis.databinding.AegisDatabinding" />
    </jaxws:dataBinding>
</jaxws:client>

And services that doesn't like this:
<bean id="agencyClient" class="comtech.swc.service.AgencyService"
        factory-bean="agencyFactory" factory-method="create" />

    <bean id="agencyFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean">
        <property name="serviceClass" value="comtech.swc.service.AgencyService" />
        <property name="address" value="${swc.url}/agency" />
        <property name="outInterceptors">
            <list>
                <bean class="org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.saaj.SAAJOutInterceptor" />
                <ref bean="authorizationOutInterceptor" />
                <bean class="ru.vtsft.exchange.cxfinterceptors.DynamicIdOutInterceptor" />
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

As result I want to write soap logs from different services in different files.
Thanks in advice and sorry for my english=)

A: Oookay, last night I got it!
cxf doesn't write logs for second type client because of I override his own interceptors. Solution is:
<bean id="exchangeFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean">
        <property name="serviceClass" value="comtech.swc.service.ExchangeService" />
        <property name="address" value="${swc.url}/exchange" />
        <property name="inInterceptors">
            <list>
                <ref bean="loggingInInterceptor" /> <!---- Here -->
            </list>
        </property>
        <property name="outInterceptors">
            <list>
                <ref bean="loggingOutInterceptor" /> <!---- And here -->
                <bean class="org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.saaj.SAAJOutInterceptor" />
                <ref bean="authorizationOutInterceptor" />
                <bean class="ru.vtsft.exchange.cxfinterceptors.DynamicIdOutInterceptor" />
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

 <!-- Logging interceptors -->

COVID-19: Johnson & Johnson vaccine risks explained

Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials identified the potential side effects of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine Monday, as the county resumed its usage.
This follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's announcement Friday that the benefits of resuming the Johnson & Johnson vaccine dramatically outweigh the risks and recommended lifting the pause.
The pause began when cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS, which is when clots that form in the large blood vessels around in the brain, were identified.
Of the 15 TTS total cases identified of nearly 8 million vaccines administered, all were women, 13 of whom were between the ages of 18-49, while 14 of whom were white and one of whom was Black.
Of those 15 cases, two women were using hormonal contraception and seven met obesity criteria. Three of these women died, while seven remain hospitalized.
"This type of clotting, if identified early, is often treatable, and in studies, nine in 10 people who are treated for a similar type of clotting disorder have had complete or near complete recovery," Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said.
Public Health officials advise those who receive the vaccine to continue to look out for early signs or symptoms of TTS one to three weeks after vaccination, which include shortness of breath, chest pain, leg swelling, persistent abdominal pain, severe or persistent headaches, blurred vision, and easy bruising or tiny blood spots under the skin beyond the site of injection.
For every 1 million doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine given, the risk for women ages 18-49 is 13 cases of TTS, while approximately 12 deaths, 127 intensive care unit admissions and 657 hospitalizations are prevented, while that risk decreases for women over the age of 50, according to Public Health data.
In addition, Public Health announced that walk-up appointment availability at county-run mass vaccination sites, including the College of the Canyons site, would be extended through Thursday, while supply lasts.
Anyone 16 and older living or working in L.A. County can get vaccinated without booking an appointment at the county locations with a photo ID and accompanied by a parent or guardian if under 18.
Public Health also released the following updated COVID-19 statistics Monday:
New COVID-19 cases reported in L.A. County in the past 24 hours: 288
Total COVID-19 cases in L.A. County: 1,231,806
New deaths related to COVID-19 reported: 4
Total COVID-19 deaths in L.A. County: 23,777
Hospitalizations countywide: 407
Hospitalizations at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital as of April 26: 5, with 1,221 discharged since the onset of the pandemic.
COVID-19 cases reported in the Santa Clarita Valley in the past 24 hours: 11, 9 of which came from the city of Santa Clarita.
Total COVID-19 cases in the SCV: 27,598
Total COVID-19 deaths in the SCV as of April 25: 299
Percentage of vaccinated people (at least one dose) in the city of Santa Clarita as of April 18: 48.6%
Percentage of vaccinated people (at least one dose) in the SCV as of April 18: 46.5%

Alane Adams discusses 'The Red Sun' and her genius plan to get kids to read
Adams discusses world-building, how Chris Hemsworth 'ruined' Thor, and more!
By Danielle Zimmerman
We were lucky enough to interview author Alane Adams at C2E2 about the origins of her new Legends of Orkney series, how she created the world's hybrid mythology, and the creation of BattleKasters (the exciting mobile game that accompanies the series).
Alane Adams is the brilliant mind behind the upcoming Legends of Orkney series. The first book, The Red Sun, introduces Sam, a seemingly normal 12-year-old kid. However, when his friends are kidnapped and taken through a portal to Orkney, a distant realm, Sam embarks on the biggest adventure of his life. He has to choose between saving his friends and saving Orkney from a terrible, sun-poisoning curse that could destroy them all.
Related: Cover Reveal: The Crown of Ptolemy by Rick Riordan
The inspiration for 'The Legends of Orkney'
Alane Adams didn't have to look far for inspiration. "My son, when he was 12, said, 'Mom, you should write me a book that I can read,'" Adams recalls fondly. She decided then to create a series about a 12-year-old boy and started asking her son questions about what he liked and what he would like to read about.
From there, Adams dove into creating the world of the book. "[My son's] favorite series was the Rick Riordan Percy Jackson series," Adams explains, "and so I looked at it and said, 'Rick, darling, you stole all of the good Greek gods so let me try a different approach here.'" She looked beyond Greek and Roman mythology and instead settled on Norse mythology because it has a lot of interesting elements to it, including the almighty Odin and the Yggdrasil tree. Of course, one of the things people always ask Adams is if she included Thor, to which she responds, "[Chris] Hemsworth ruined it! He's so gorgeous! How could you ever top that? So, no Thor in my stories." Fair enough!
Making Norse mythology her own
After settling on Norse mythology, Adams then went to work on giving it her own kind of spin. She focused on using the mythology in new ways as well as connecting it with other mythologies and supernatural tales. While vampires and other creatures have been done before, Adams realized she hadn't seen all that much on witches. More specifically, she had never really encountered boy witches.
"We always think of warlocks [when we think of males and witchcraft]," Adams explains. "So I came up with this idea that, in my story, there were no male witches because Odin had cursed [witches] never to have sons." Why? Because the last male witch was so incredibly evil and selfish that he cursed the sun because he wanted to be more powerful than a god. It's this idea of male witches that not only gives the story an interesting sort of hybrid mythology and feel to it, but that also sets the tale's events in motion.
In addition to writing new versions of mythological figures like Odin and creating a new sort of mythology, she adapted actual locations (that have a history in myth) for her story. Her magical realm of Orkney is based on the Orkney Islands that exist off of the coast of Scotland. They're rich in Norse mythology as well as Arthurian tales and some witch mythology.
Adams wanted to have elements in her book that are grounded in reality while also fantastic in some way. Before Sam even learns about Orkney, we begin his story in his hometown of Pilot Rock, Oregon. Pilot Rock is notable for a giant boulder that's actually a compass rock (or beacon). When settlers came across it on the Oregon trail, they would either turn left to get to California or go right to go to Oregon. So then, when coming up with the story, it made sense to have that rock become a portal to travel between the realms.

— BattleKasters (@BattleKasters) April 25, 2015
Sam's 'dark side' origins
Believe it or not, Sam's character rose from Adams' son's love of Anakin Skywalker. "It's really interesting," Adams explains, "because my son is the sweetest boy in the world but he loves Star Wars. He loves Anakin. He loves movie three when he goes full on to the Dark Side." Villains and flawed people are the kinds of characters her son gravitates toward. With this in mind, Adams created Sam as a character with anger issues and a "real dark core to him" but who also wants to do the right thing.
Sam's anger stems from his father abandoning him and his mother, as well as constantly being lied to. He's a good guy, but he's trapped in this decision to either save his friends or a world he doesn't feel a connection to. His predicament, of course, worsens his anger, but his anger affects more than just himself. As Alane Adams describes it, "Every time he loses his temper, the sun gets worse… and it kills the fish, kills the animals, and just spreads a poison over the land."
The arc of the story has Sam going to and returning from the dark side of himself. The first book is all about discovery, the second is about his journey to the dark side, and the third is where he really gets to fix things he's done wrong and deal with the consequences of his actions by just moving forward. It's the hero's journey. Alane sums up Sam's journey best with the idea, "We have to go through the things we go through to get to the place [we were meant to be]," which is something she wanted to get across in her writing.

Before I submit a request to support I thought I'd see if anyone has any suggestions. I just updated both my Mac and Windows 10 to 2.0.8. The Mac seems to be working fine, the logs show it's connecting to the server and both my computers show up although the Windows computer is always disconnected. On the Windows 10, it seems like something is stuck. The UI only shows the Windows computer, not the Mac. The logs make it look like it's having trouble connecting. The service is using 25%+ of my CPU constantly, it ever falls below that.
I have tried uninstalling then running the installer again (deleted the Program Files\Synergy and ProgramData \ Symless folders) but the behavior is the same.
Has anyone run into this and/or fixed it?
It's been an ongoing problem that not everyone experiences. The only sure way to succeed is to uninstall the old one before installing the new one. Sometimes manually stopping the Synergy service before doing the upgrade works.

In honor of Movember, the 12th episode of Cut Video's hit "100 Years of Beauty" series takes on the evolution of men's hair (facial and otherwise) during the last century. Cut tapped Samuel Orson, a Seattle-based musician, to model the looks.
Over the course of 10 hours, Orson was given everything from an oiled-up 1920s centre part, to a 1950s Presley pomp, to a shaggy 70s mane. The video ends with Orson's natural style: today's ultra-trendy man-bun-and-beard combo.
The video was made in partnership with the Movember Foundation, making it a work of philanthropy as well as inspiration for your next trip to the barber.

William Faulkner was a Mississippi-born novelist, poet, and screenwriter, winner of the 1949 Nobel Prize in literature, and twice a winner of the Pulitzer Prize in fiction (1955, 1963). Considered one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century, he used primarily southern settings in his work—many of his most famous novels, including The Sound and the Fury (1929) and As I Lay Dying (1930), were set in fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi—and examined complex social, psychological, and racial issues. During the last years of his life, Faulkner was a writer-in-residence and a professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

My Dad has a birthday today – he has reached the grand age of sixty four. I went over to the farm to see Mum & Dad and they seemed in good form. I bought Dad a copy of the Dartmoor Edition of the Tolkien Maps – similar to the Yorkshire Dales version I treated myself to the other month. He seems to like it.
Dad has great memories of Dartmoor – he worked there during his time at college and really enjoyed his time whilst over there. There is mention of the place he worked on the map.
When I came home to the flat, Kathryn was there having given it a bit of a Spring Clean – I am a pig most of the time and I don't really pull my weight around the house. She is amazingly kind to me and I love her to bits. Her parents did quite a cool job packing so much Awesome in to such a small package.
When I go home I set up the MixPre 6 with a JrF Contact mic. I slid the mic between the snow and my metal fire escape and recorded the sound below – it goes on for a while but you can hear the "Crackle" of the melting snow and the plinky plonk goodness of the water droplets condensing and forming drops, dropping down and hitting the Stainless Steel fire escape. I am amazed that the JrF Contact Mic managed to pick up the Blackbird. Maybe the whole fire escape acted as some sort of parabola?


Do you think Matt Chandler is right or wrong? Why?
If you think he's right, is this the main reason people leave the church? Are there other major factors?
Think and pray about this: How have you presented the Christian faith in a way that is legalistic and puts God in your debt? What was the issue you were addressing? In retrospect, How would you address it now with the Gospel?
Challenge: Do you know people who have left the church? Do you know why they left? Make it a point to talk to them to find out why they've left and correct their misunderstandings of the faith with he Gospel.

Their photos were so beautiful, it was blogged by Love Find Co!

Formula E comes to the land of muscle cars
Formula E, the FIA's all-electric racing championship, has made its mark in South America: Punta Del Este and Buenos Aires. Now the circus is headed north to the United States—home of the mighty muscle car. The highly charged racing series will make its debut in Miami, FL on March 14, and then it's on to Long Beach, CA. on April 4.
Auto racing in the U.S. has traditionally been all about big horsepower and straight-line speed. You can see it in the local's love of muscle cars, drag racing, and huge roaring stadiums where drivers race their cars around (and around and around) banked oval tracks. Don't get me wrong, petrol-driven drag races and stock car racing is a sight and sound to behold. Thing is, the world's oil supply is a finite resource. It isn't going to last forever, folks. Pretty soon, those weekends at the track—whether you're a spectator, a weekend racer, or a professional—are bound to get more expensive as the years go by.
One solution to feed our fix for auto racing, while doing it in a sustainable manner, is Formula E—considered the top tier of electric car racing and featuring auto technologies as well as talent rooted in its petrol-driven cousin, Formula 1 (now using hybrid cars, by the way).
Formula E will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of motorsports, and that's why Qualcomm Technologies is proud to be an Official Founding and Technology Partner. During Formula E's inaugural year, our Qualcomm Halo™ wireless charging technology has been used successfully to keep the pair of Qualcomm Safety Cars (we call them "Pace Cars" in the U.S.) and Medical/Extraction Cars ready for action. Beginning next year, the race teams will have the option to use it in their cars.
After four races into the inaugural season, Formula E has served up four different winners. Lucas De Grassi of Audi Sport ABT leads the drivers' points race, followed closely by Sam Bird of Virgin Racing. Rounding out the top four are e.dams-Renault drivers Sébastien Buemi and Nicolas Prost—a serious one-two punch.
After a disappointing first race, e.dams-Renault is leading in team points. Virgin Racing is in second and is the only team that has finished in the top five every race. China Racing—in sixth place overall—has come on strong during the South American leg of the championship. Like the drivers' points race, there is no clear favorite in the team points race either, which means that everyone is still fighting 100% for each position.
Both the upcoming Miami and Long Beach ePrix races will take place on street courses, like all Formula E events. Miami's circuit will be situated in Miami's downtown and along Biscayne Bay, challenging drivers, teams and cars with long straightaways ending in 90-degree turns. The Long Beach circuit will take place on an abbreviated version of the historic Long Beach Grand Prix course but will still include a long straight down Seaside Way and the celebrated hairpin leading into the straight down East Shoreline Drive between the Marina and Rainbow Lagoon Park—this should be a fast race.
If you're an auto racing fan, a "car guy person," or a tech enthusiast who wants to see the motorsport series that will play a pivotal role in shaping tomorrow's automobile technology, check out either of these races. Outside the U.S.? Don't worry, the Formula E footprint is growing as Moscow was recently added to this year's race calendar. If Formula E misses your country this year, keep an eye on your local television networks.
For ticket information, go to here.
Scott Speed, the last American to compete in Formula One, is slated to drive at the Miami ePrix for Andretti Autosport.
The season finale will be a "double header"—two races held within the grounds of Battersea Park, London, on June 27 & 28.
Eight manufacturers will race next season (2015/2016), when the series becomes an open championship, allowing manufacturers to pursue their own in-house innovations in the e-motor, the inverter, the gearbox and the cooling system. During this inaugural season (2014/2015), teams were racing identical Spark-Renault SRT_01E single-seat race cars.

Academics widen onslaught on Wikipedia
international | arts and media | other press Friday January 18, 2008 12:32 by Fu manchu
tara Brabazon is Professor of Media Studies a the University of Brighton and Director of the Popular Culture Collective. She's an author of a few bits & bobs on internet use, media culture & is building quite a profile for herself for attacking Google & Wikipedia claiming that they undermine educational & didactic processes & more than Harry Potter actively contribute to turning our kids brains (& minds) to utter mushy shite.
Thing is, her arguments are proving to interest & influence far beyond the generally airified chitchat discussions of Media Studies university departments. Today's "Liberation" the French leftwing daily reports how the "Just say No to Wikipedia!" stickers are appearing across the USA in high schools as well as public amenity libraries. The cultural link with Nancy Reagan's "Just say no to Drugs!" ought be obvious.
filling your heads with citations, proofs, ideas & no trivia!
today's article in the media supplement to "Liberation" (French language)
http://www.ecrans.fr/Wikipedia-banning,2684.html
tara Brabazon's home site -
http://www.brabazon.net/
The collective she is credited with leading ("Popular Culture Collective") http://popularculturecollective.com/
She's written several books the titles of which suggest a thinking & punning mind :-
The Revolution will not be Downloaded (editor; forthcoming), The University of Google, Playing on the Periphery, From Revolution to Revelation, Liverpool of the South Seas (editor), Digital Hemlock, Ladies who Lunge and Tracking the Jack.
Well & cool you might think, there's nothing authoritarian in wikipedia when you want to raise your kids the proper way (trolling for erotic misadventures their teachers might have left on youtube) &ensuring they don't stray far from the Disney Movie "Noah's Ark" Creationism.
So........what can you as a parent do you do about it?
Easy - ban Harry Potter. Chemically castrate your kids if they pass a basic spot skills test in hand rolling cigarettes. Send them to UCD to really listen to Le Pen. Explain to them that the internet is filled with {to quote "The Daily Telegraph" writer Damian Thompson (& author of "Counterknowledge")} psuedo fact hunger
The issues raised are really very interesting as we pass the 5th anniversary of Creative Commons at the end of 2007 & ask ourselves is the 21st century equivalent of 18th century efforts to liberalise education & knowledge suceeding? Yet again we find ourselves in a perversely "gnostic" approach to the teaching of critical thought, & objective history. Yes, Ms Brabazon is tippy toppy clever & writes books with titles whose obvious puns are really only funny to those who have previously considered the cognitive dissonance of watching a television documentary entitled "the revolution won't be televised". But that's clever people with students loans & a lifetime of Guardian reading or Channel4 telly watching behind them. It's not the poor kids of the USA.
At end, I can see many good reasons for banning kids from using internet search engines to pad their essays or cheat research - but only if they have libraries or real live old people to ask "what was 1974 really like?" Likewise, I suppose attacks of such a nature on Google (but no at this moment wikipedia) might break the dominance of "googleware" & bring us back such well buried delights as the former "ungoogle" search engine.
here's a report in English from a local commercial newspaper on Brabazon's ban -
http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var....a.php
& following the French link will offer blogs of parents' groups across the USA as they consider following suit. Ironically the Wikipedia foundation has garnered so much support for attempting the very opposite of what the now "cleverclogs" Brabazon & swampfascist Americans are teaming up on. So I'll leave you with Brabazon's own wikipedia entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_Brabazon

Could just be co-incidence but this week saw a virus attack on wikipedia
by wikipedian Sun Jan 20, 2008 23:05
& most interestingly the virus or worm used was "ILOVEYOU" or as it also sometimes called the "lovebug" which caused squillion of quids worth damage back in the year 2000. Interesting to think that almost 8 years later someone still has it & thought to stick it in the wikipedia sandbox. Oh yes, it's the psychology of it all.
...."In an exclusive report, Wikinews has learned that on Wednesday January 16, 2008 two users, one anonymous and the other only known as User: MODX added code onto Wikipedia for a computer virus known as the LoveLetter virus or the ILOVEYOU virus."........."The ILOVEYOU virus or worm started in the Philippines on May 4, 2000 in e-mails titled 'I Love You'. In less than a day, it managed to spread across the entire globe, traveling to Hong Kong, to Europe, and then the United States. At least 10% of the world's computers that had internet access were infected with the virus. It would overwrite your files on you computer with a copy of itself. Music, system files, multimedia and many others were affected. Most damage was caused removing the virus which cost, in global total, US$5.5 billion."
http://www.huliq.com/47639/malicious-code-inserted-wiki...virus
"Two aspects of the worm made it effective: * It relied on social engineering to entice users to open the e-mail and ensure its continued propagation. * It employed a mechanism — VBScripts — that, while not entirely novel, had not been exploited to such a degree previously to direct attention to their potential, reducing the layers of protection that would have to be navigated for success" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILOVEYOU
...."This worm program is believed to have been written by Michael Buen. The Barok trojan used by the worm is believed to have been written by Onel de Guzman, a Filipino student of AMA Computer University in Makati, Philippines. An international manhunt for the perpetrator finally led to a young programming student, on May 11th (one week after the virus spread), he held a news conference and said that he didn't mean to cause so much harm......."
I remember it causing quite a curfuffle because the arrest warrent was served by the FBI. & now check this out - neither Michael Buen or Onel de Guzman ever got a wikipedia entry. ;-) But...."Narinnat Suksawat, a 25-year-old Thai software engineer, who was the first person to write software that repaired the damage caused by the worm, releasing it to the public on May 5, 2000, 24 hours after the worm had spread. "Rational Killer," the program he created, removed virus files and restored the previously removed system files so they again functioned normally. Two months later, Narinnat was offered a senior consultant job at Sun Microsystems and worked there for two years. He resigned to start his own business. Today, Narinnat owns a software company named Moscii Systems, a system management software company in Thailand." did get a mention.
But where wikipedia won't go, the BBC often get stick their snout in. They got exclusive rights on interviews with both young geeks http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/817269.stm & in the end the FBI thing fell apart at the seams :- "........The Philippine Department of Justice has ruled that a law invoked against suspects in the Love Bug e-mail worm case can't be stretched to apply to hacking, the Associated Press reports. The decision will hamstring investigators, who were forced to scramble to find a basis to charge the suspects, since hacking is not a crime under Philippine law. After an extensive period of head-scratching, frustrated National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents settled on a 1998 law dealing with the fraudulent use of credit cards, account numbers and passwords. The law carries a ghastly penalty of up to 20 years in prison......" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/05/18/love_bug_suspec...cant/
& so the global plod of the FBI, the cleverclogs at Sun microsystems & just in case you're very product loyal - the folks in both Microsoft & Macintosh worked away at the problems & issues and in consort with the subsequent emerging players in "internet security" [Norton & Panda in particular] they ensured that none of our computers would ever have a sick day again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software
Not since then has any kid had the excuse in computer studies class - " a virus ate my homework". I could leave you with a link to the Internet governance people & the EFE : but I'm not.
I'll just say this - whomever put the lovebug on the wikisandbox has one twisted sense of humour and a very comprehensive computer memory system * or they knew how to make it all over again.
Either way we're looking at someone who has enjoyed excellent "computer studies" facilities in a university & you know they way these things always come down to psychology - that person has either left their job in the last weeks or did so almost two years ago to the date. & the last bit of speculative guesswork - I reckon they also sent that virus to some specific people (not that it would get through most contemporary antivirus software) but put it somewhere else.
There's a story in here. a geek follow up - solving the mystery will surely happen soon.
updates on the antics of the "anti-wikipedia" lobby.
by Fu Manchu - "manchuria for the manchurians!" Mon Mar 17, 2008 00:00
Sunday's French newspaper edition of "Le Monde" included an interesting analysis of the continuing campaign by US Christian fundamentalists & myriad Business interests shy of negative publicity who are continuing their attacks on Wikipedia. The article also reports on a new site in the French language called " wikipedia.un.mythe.org " which warns its visitors against joining the more than 220 million hits a month to the encyclopedia it describes as "un projet anarchiste (...) entre les mains d'un gang" ( = an anarchist project.....in the hands of a gang )
http://www.lemonde.fr/opinions/article/2008/03/15/faut-....html
Well now, it's been years since I for one went through my contemplation of the wikipedia thing, & though perturbed initally (2002-2003); by the paucity of contributions in European languages, the weightiness of entries on scientific or computing subjects (which were then justified by the employment profile of the main usership of the site), the extraordinary interest taken in the site back then by the Mormons (they were the first & smallest globalised religious group to get their whole wares through the sandbox) & the now happily erased legion of dodgey biographies and promotional pieces on US garage bands - I have come to champion the project & see in it a perfect & natural complement to the global indymedia movement whose own development has charted many stages in some places good and others bad , whereas the just over 5 year old indymedia ireland site is one which has led the way in technological innovation thanks to the constantly updated "oscailt software" the original home site of the movement in Seattle collapsed as did another vital node that of Italy.
Sunday's "Le Monde" piece reported on the new speed at which the ranks of "wikignomes" and "wikipedians" &c are ensuring attacks on the entries (at least in English) are improving. Obscenities added to rewrites are now being removed by volunteers "within minutes". But the sister projects of the wiki dictionary still have to attract serious efforts & I personally found an etymological error only yesterday whilst checking my cryptic crossword solution. Indeed, wikipedia has gone from a project which like indymedia invited scorn for its "open-ness" to one which is a now essential resource for pedants & students alike in the case of the former and activists & campaigners in the latter. Rival websites to wikipedia which promised to be "more academically serious" such as Citizendium have not captured either the interest of the public or the excellence of contributors they had hoped. Likewise with Indymedia, in Ireland the portals "politics-ie" or "freedom institute" which in their day both attacked indymedia ireland & hoped to provide political commentary have gone to the cache space of dead & forgotten pages.
So, it's not surprising that in the case of Wikipedia at least, the nature of attacks have altered. In the last week Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was accused by Novell chief scientist Jeffrey Merkey who claims "......he donated $5,000 to the Wikimedia Foundation in exchange for changes to his Wikipedia entry. Mr Merkey says Mr Wales agreed to "use his influence" to remove libellous remarks in the entry......."
Mr Wales denied the allegations & there was a bit of hoo-haa-haa which you can read about at this BBC article http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7291382.stm


Could someone explain the religious reference there to a heathen Catholic? I learned Jesus died for our sins so, essentially, we'd be able to go to Heaven if we were good (7yr old EmainMacha speaking there). What do they mean by 'He died the death that we deserved if we by faith trust him as our Savior, we have the privilege of living with Him in Heaven.' I can't quite make sense of it. It makes having faith sound like a negative or something?
There should be a full stop or a semi colon after deserved - it's a run-on sentence, but that's SOTDRT for you.
I love the idea of taking kids on an adventure as a present. But if I have to take my nephew or my best friends kids anywjere, I'd rather shoot something tbh. I love them. But I kinda like my sanity more. I joined them at the zoo a few times and all I wanted was a gallon of vodka after. I used to take my oldest nephew everywhere. He's 18 now so this was a while ago. My youngest nephew is 5 and my best friends kids are 5 and 7. The 7 year old reads like a maniac, I always end up getting his a stack of books I think he would like. My current present, waiting, is a train for the 5 year old and a children's version of 20 Thousand Leagues Under The Sea and Three Musketeers for the 7 year old. My nephew gets his favorite cars every time I see him, oops.
Re: Dougie's (in)visible means of support. Looks like credit cards are part of the mix, but it's plausible that fraudulent use and/or embezzlement of VFI/VFM "ministry" funds provided him with a nest egg of sorts.
They didn't actually call it "wide stance" did they?! I'm thinking of Larry "Wide Stance" Craig... they wouldn't want that association with their business.

Question: Where does VSC grab documentation from to display in the tooltips?
I couldn't find any of this info in the socket.io package, or any other respective package for different libraries.

Dia Mirza signs 'delicious part' in new web series
Entertainment Bollywood
The actress is excited about two 'interesting' shows
Published: February 27, 2019 14:37 IANS
Dia Mirza Image Credit: IANS
Actress Dia Mirza has two "very interesting shows" lined up in the web space. Apart from Nikkhil Advani's historical show, she says she has another web series in which she will play a "delicious part".
Mirza was last seen on the big screen in 'Sanju' as Manyata Dutt.
Her fans will soon see her in "two very interesting shows".
"One is being directed by Nikkhil Advani. It's an epic. It's been a dream to be a part of a historical. I will be working with Shabana Azmi again as well as Ronit Roy whom I have admired as an artist and, of course, working with Nikkhil is going to be great fun," Mirza said in a telephonic interview from Bengaluru where she mentored young women for fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2019.
Without giving away much about her second web series, she shared: "The second one is a drama and is based on a true story. I get to play a female protagonist and it's a delicious part."
Hailing the digital platform, the 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein' actress said: "I think it's really an exciting time for women in films and just female artists because I think where cinema is not writing enough female parts, digital platforms are making up for that."
"Exciting and enterprising work is being written for women and I am going to make the most of it," she added.
As a producer, she has another web series titled 'Mind The Malhotras' in her kitty.
"When we set up Born Free Entertainment, we wanted to tell fun, engaging, socially relevant and relatable stories," she said about the production house that has backed films 'Bobby Jasoos' and 'Love Breakups Zindagi'.
"Whether it is through cinematic or digital experience... it's really about telling stories that excite us," she added.
The sitcom genre was exciting enough for her.
"'Mind The Malhotras' is a sitcom. It's a space that we haven't really explored too much of in India. It's a digital format and that makes it even more exciting. We will be launching the show very soon," said Mirza.
Starring Mini Mathur and Cyrus Sahukar, the show is based on the Israeli comedy 'La Famiglia'.
Talking about the current trend of remakes and adaptations in Indian showbiz, she said: "It is interesting to draw [inspiration] from different cultures and see what other people are doing."
"The idea of an official adaptation is three-fold. One is that you have to stick with the format of the original, the second is you aim to make it better and the third is to bring it to Indian context. That's why it is exciting. America and Europe also adapt... It is a great time for exchange for the flow of culture and art," she added.
But there are some who feel that Indian filmmakers are probably running out of original ideas hence, they are looking elsewhere for content.
She thinks it is equally, if not more challenging, to adapt content as it would be to create an original one.
"The challenge is exactly the same. You may think that you can rest on the existing format and just go with it but a lot of work goes into making it compelling. I think that would be an unfair criticism," said Mirza.
"If you think about great literature, art or poetry world over, generations have found their interpretations of those people and their work. They are redone differently. We all are constantly inspired by works of art that we want to kind of reinterpret," added Mirza.

This ram hunt was a spot and stalk opportunity early after my arrival at camp. My hunting buddy and I were able to get in the perfect position for a 17 yard shot. Ram ran only a few yards before collapsing. A quartering to shot that resulted in a double lung pass through shot.
Awesome trophy and excellent shooting as always!

Say hello to Siemens new bird: 4-MW with 130-m diameter rotor
By Paul Dvorak | February 15, 2013
Advancements in the SWT 4.0-130 increase energy capture by up to 15% over the company's best-selling SWT 3.6-120
Siemens Energy has launched its new offshore wind turbine, the SWT 4.0-130 at the annual conference of the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) in Vienna. This new wind turbine features a generating capacity of four MW and a rotor diameter of 130 m. The new design is a further advancement of the widely used SWT 3.6 family, more units of which have been sold and installed worldwide than any other offshore wind turbine.
Siemens took the opportunity of the EWEA Conference to also introduce its new platform concept for wind turbines. In the future, each of Siemens's wind turbines will be bundled under the umbrella of one of four product platforms. The objective of this platform strategy is to standardize and modularize the products.
Siemens SWT 4.0-130 wind turbine uses all the key technologies of the proven 3.6-MW family. The nacelle and tower are advanced variants of the 3.6-MW wind turbine design. The rotor blades are manufactured using Siemens' proven IntegralBlade process, cast in a single piece without use of adhesive bonding. The new B63 rotor blade, 63-m long, is the longest and technologically most advanced blade in the 4-MW class. The B63 sweeps an area nearly equivalent to the area of two football fields.
Thanks to optimized coupling of blade bending and twisting, these aeroelastic blades react more flexibly to high-wind loads, absorbing forces similarly to the cushioning effect of shock absorbers on cars. This technology allows use of longer rotor blades, which boosts wind power capture and thus increases unit performance. Since December 2012, the prototype of the SWT 4.0-130 has been installed and commissioned at the Osterild Test Center in Denmark and is showing excellent performance.
Serial production is expected to begin in 2015. "The advancements in the SWT 4.0-130 increase energy capture by up to 15% over our best-selling SWT 3.6-120 type", says Henrik Stiesdal, CTO at Siemens' Energy Sector's Wind Power Division. Siemens' new platform design concept constitutes a further step in the industrialization of the wind power sector.
Following the model of the automotive industry, all wind turbines are bundled under the umbrella of a product platform. Each unit consists of five or six modules which are used within a single platform for various different turbines. "We can reduce production and logistics costs by standardizing and modularizing components within our product platforms. This is a major step towards achieving our goal of making wind power independent from subsidizing", says Stiesdal. In the future, each of the wind turbines offered by Siemens will belong to one of the platforms Siemens G2, G3, G4, or D6.
The name of each platform is dictated by a combination of the applied drive technology and the performance class of the wind turbines. Platforms based on geared technology are denoted by the letter G (for geared drive), while product platforms featuring gearless technology are identified by the prefix D (for direct drive). With its 4-MW output, the SWT 4.0-130 wind turbine joins the well-known 3.6-MW turbines in the Siemens G4 platform.

Walmart to close 8 Neighborhood Markets
richie2019-04-01T15:54:09+00:00April 1st, 2019|Tags: walmart|
Walmart is closing at least eight Walmart Neighborhood Markets, Business Insider reported, with sources saying stores will close by April 19. Grocery Dive reached out to Walmart for further details and comment, but did not receive a response. Company officials have confirmed the closings to local media outlets over the past few weeks.
The stores slated for closure are located in Arizona, California, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.
Walmart currently operates almost 700 Neighborhood Markets across the U.S.
Eight Neighborhood Market stores is a mere fraction of the banner's total footprint, but the closures are notable for a retailer that is otherwise white-hot when it comes to grocery sales.
Walmart Neighborhood Market was first launched in 1998 and stores are about 38,000 square feet, around one-fifth of the size of Walmart's supercenters. The banner focuses primarily on grocery offerings including fresh produce, meat, bakery and deli departments and pharmacies.
Walmart did not respond to Grocery Dive's request for comment, but news of Neighborhood Market closures has been trickling out. Earlier this month, Walmart announced locally that it would close locations in North Chesterfield and Virginia Beach, Virginia. A Walmart spokesperson told local newspapers that closings were related to several factors, including the stores' financial performance, and that employees of the stores have the option to transfer to other locations. The closing of a Walmart Neighborhood Market in San Jose, California, was announced last week for "overall performance," with its 83 employees being offered transfers.
This is not the first time Walmart has shuttered small format stores. Last September, three Walmart Neighborhood Markets closed in San Antonio, with a company spokesperson citing an adjustment in company strategy. In 2016, Walmart closed hundreds of stores across the U.S., including 23 Neighborhood Market stores and all of its Walmart Express stores, which accounted for 102 locations at the time. The Walmart Express brand, which was created to compete with dollar stores, was terminated so Walmart could focus on supercenters and e-commerce.
Walmart has said recently that it will slow its brick-and-mortar expansion, and correcting its smaller format store count could be a strategic move to account for growing online sales and an increasingly competitive grocery landscape.
"While it's true that Walmart is looking to grocery to drive growth and future relevance … it is also concentrating on investing in its most productive assets," said Laura Kennedy, vice president at Kantar Consulting, in an email to Grocery Dive.
Company-wide, Walmart's growth in grocery has surged. Walmart is the top seller of groceries in the U.S. and has invested heavily to expand delivery and pickup options to support its growing e-commerce business. The company has also been remodeling locations at a rapid clip, and will look to utilize its existing supercenters more effectively as online sales continue to increase.
"It's also fair to say that Walmart does see its bigger stores, supercenters, as the most productive boxes," Kennedy said.
A spokesperson recently told the Virginian-Pilot that Walmart is still committed to the smaller store concept, so some of these store closings may simply be related to financial performance and local conditions. But on a larger scale, the closures raise questions of whether or not Walmart can operate small format stores successfully.

Imagine you have one of your SCCM distribution server is crashed or it has been decommissioned. You will require to remove them from the Central console to get rid of the stale records. We will see how to do such cleanup on the SCCM.
So there is a quick fix to remove this from the SCCM so follow the below steps to complete the process.
Open the Regedit.exe and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER\Component Servers and then delete the lingering server object key which you find under the "Component Servers" key.
Now launch the SCCM Admin Console and navigate to Monitoring>System Status>Site Status you will see the server object has been flushed off from the console. (If that failed to clear then give it 10-15 minutes and then relaunch the console to verify.

P.K Anil Kumar was one of the main reasons of Viva Kerala and Salgaocar getting promoted to I league in 2007 and 2009 respectively. He almost made it to Chirag united, however being an Kerala State Electricity Board employee, he had problems in joining. Thus, he came back to Kerala and played for Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) football team, where hew performed well, scored couple of hat tricks in Dronacharya trophy. Ultimately his dreams of playing in I league came true when Viva Kerala signed him this season. And now after 16 rounds, he is the top Indian scorer!!!
He has also played for Kerala in Santosh trophy.
Amazing work by you. Really nice pictures and stats. This way people will be aware about homegrown stars. And thanks usaindia again for starting this nice thread

Anil Kumar Interview
IM Vijayan has been my inspiration
It has been a meteoric rise for Viva Kerala, a club which was formed in 2004. In its first year, Viva defeated top clubs like Mohammedan Sporting, Titanium XI etc. and gained prominence. In 2006, Viva Kerala won the 3rd Division National Football League and the opportunity for a NFL spot came in the way of Second Division NFL. Viva surprised everyone by finishing second in its group and qualified for the final phase with the likes of Salgaocar SC and Chirag United. In the final phase, Viva Kerala finished as runners-up of the Second Division NFL to book their place in the National Football League 2007/08. The combination of Baba Thunde and PK Anil Kumar was one of the main factors in the success of Viva Kerala.
Anil Kumar, who has been a pillar behind Viva's rise and has seen the ups and downs of the clubs all through these years shares his views and plans with Sanjeeb Sahoo of Indian Sports News. Excerpts:
ISN: Tell me something about yourself ?
Anil Kumar: I am from Kodungalloor a small village of Kerala and currently I am playing for Viva Kerala.
ISN: I heard that you are going to marry?
Anil Kumar: Yes, I am going to marry on May 17. My would-to-be wife is from Kerala.
ISN: Who and how did you get the inspiration to play this beautiful game?
Anil Kumar: When I was in class five, our football training camp was going on and veteran football player IM Vijayan had came to our school as a chief guest. I was also part of that event. He interacted with us and said Kerala boys are born for football and those words touched my heart. I started playing football on regular basis with few my friends in the village ground since then.
ISN: Please tells us about the clubs you have played for so far?
Anil Kumar: Presently as you all know, I represent Viva Kerala. Most of the players in Viava Kerala are junior players and they are well trained. Only two players are outsiders. Otherwise rest are from Kerala. Earlier, I played for Kochi FC and Churchil Brothers. I joined Viva Kerala team as a guest player. Then I got selected as regular player and still continue as a permanent member of the team.
ISN: You are employed with the Kerala government?
Anil Kumar: Yes I have got a government job in State Electricity Board. Actually it is good for sportsperson as it encourages young stars to look sports as a career.
ISN: What kind of changes you want in Indian Football Federation?
Anil Kumar: They should provide better ground for national level matches as well. We lack proper infrastructure, which include good football grounds as well.
ISN: Have you got any call from the national team?
Anil Kumar: Yes, when I was playing for under-19 team in 2000, but did not get any chance to play for the team.
ISN: Please tell me something about your upcoming series?
Anil Kumar: After Indian League, we will participate in seven vs seven tournament in Kerala. It's a very famous series of our state.
INS: Any memories on the football ground that you would like to share?
Anil Kumar: Yes I have good memory of a match against Air India as I scored a hat-tric in that match. My team won it by 7-1. That performance definitely boosted by morale.

Cross-fertilisation and narratives for a cultural space that contributes to the 15-minute city
Food and readings at the new ADI Design Museum. Space for cross-fertilisation and conviviality. A few weeks after it officially opened, the museum dedicated to the Compasso d'Oro collection inaugurated the Officina Design Café, with CHIC Charming Italian Chef, together with the Officina Design Shop managed by Electa Editore. «We have combined bookstore and café, as so many museums in international cities have successfully done » commented Luciano Galimberti, president of ADI.
The entrance is the same as the museum, in Piazza C0mpasso d'Oro 1, in front of Via Ceresio and Piazzale Monumentale, in a former industrial area that in recent years has undergone a major urban refitting. Quality, sustainability and health are the core values of the Associazione CHIC, which in the new museum will provide an original food experience, involving its members and activating important partnerships with the finest companies in the food and wine sector.

This cultural space will serve to enable a project that connects food to sustainability, a theme that is very important to the association which years ago launched "CHIC RESPECT", a process that aims to reduce the environmental impact of the restaurant business, advancing responsible consumption, and seeking to educate the consumer about taste, respect for the environment and the use of natural resources. Sustainability will be the leading theme of the café's entire bill of fare (opening hours will be Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:30 am to 8:00 pm) with a wide range of ethical products and preparations to consume across the entire day, from breakfast, to lunch, to happy hour.
«Food is a great Italian prerogative – commented Galimberti – and ADI is currently working on a series of projects on the theme of food design». At the ADI Museum, food is linked to design and innovation, it represents a virtuous relationship with the environment, and aims to tell the story of a country, Italy, that offers so much to discover and enjoy».
The CHIC members who are already collaborating include Davide Fiorentini (Faenza) for the croissants, the deep-dish pizzas and the cookies, Renato Bosco (San Martino Buon Albergo) for the crusty pan pizza, Tommaso Cannata (Milan and Messina) for the Sicilian pastry and bread, and the Chefs Stefano Masanti (Madesimo), Emanuele Vallini (Bibbona), Enrico Bergonzi (Colorno), Gianni Tarabini (Mantello) for the "gourmet panini". For the coordination of the menu and the selection of the various dishes, the director is chef Pier Giorgio Parini from the Romagna region.
Attention to the environment and to food safety is a concern in the furnishings and at the bar, which is made entirely of copper; the project to design the café and bookstore was entrusted to Marco Ferreri, winner of the Compasso d'Oro for Lifetime Achievement in 2020.
The architect proposed an open space, organized with identical furnishings, defined in their functions precisely by the things they exhibit.
«This space has the good fortune of being at the centre of the exhibitions, adjacent to the Gallery which is actually a public street inside the Museum with beautiful natural light – explains the architect Ferreri – a situation that is extraordinary in itself. The light especially is what gives that feeling of always being outdoors, in a place that makes you feel good. Officina Design is a space made of copper. A material that is undoubtedly difficult to treat; we deliberately kept it free of treatments that protect it from fingerprints and the signs of wear and tear, because when it is not treated it maintains its property as an anti-bacterial material. As to the rest, as always, I try not to appear in my projects, but simply to work appropriately. I believe that the objective has been achieved here».
A single piazza that opens onto a roofed public pedestrian thoroughfare that runs along the exhibition spaces and ties together the neighbourhood (Via Ceresio and Via Bramante, with the same concept as the Macro Museum in Rome), where the visitor can enjoy a multifaceted experience: in the same large space in front of the Café is the Officina Design Shop, which will host talks and presentations dedicated to new publications in the field.
The ADI Design Museum was conceived as a narrating experiential museum, a container open to exchange, for professionals in the field and everyone else, and Officina Design will be one of the primary venues to advance cross-fertilisation and relations, in the bookshop and cafeteria, which will become places of aggregation where people can spend their free time, get together, or arrange meetings for work.
This is a goal that the museum wishes to advance by joining the project for "15-minute cities", which includes a series of actions coherent with a new model of sustainable city, in which each citizen can reach essential services, including cultural services, on foot or by bike. «The purpose – explains ADI – is to make the city evolve into increasingly qualified districts, reduce pollution and create socially and economically inclusive areas. In this sense, the space aims to become a point of reference for the entire neighbourhood».

Pregen's will be available or characters can be made as part. Registrants please note choice in Discussion.
New characters, roll for cyphers and oddities. That's about it.
Alright then, I'll be rocking the Swift Glaive who Rides the Lightning.
Noob to Numenera. Prefer a pre-gen.
noob but wanted to try it, problem is I am in another game until 20:00… thoughts?
I'm pretty sure the other two will be happy to play even if starting a little latter; I would still be stopping same time, I have to get up next morning.
I spoke too soon – its not looking good for my Thursday but if you don't mind I would like to lurk if I get back in time.
I signed up for the Friday game but if there is not enough people may I join this Thursday game (if a space is available)? OR If you need another in Thursdays game to make it's min number of players then just let me know. Also when can we talk about making character?
If you do create one, please post his descriptor, type, and focus in comments so others and I know what is taken.
3 is only the minimum far as I can see, plenty of space, especialy if avro5731 wont arrive in time to join in.
Sort of assuming paladintodd is playing both days, same as me.
I am assuming only those who have booked a ticket on Friday are playing on Friday.
Its looking like Thursday is the better day to sign up for, by Wednesday evening if not enough people on Friday will close out that game.
Thank you for moving me over to this game since Friday is likely to be closed. I have created a "Tough Glaive fused with Steel", he wields a Broadsword, shield, and a buzzer for range. I still need roll for 2 Cyphers and 1 Oddity. I also have an FG xml export of character to bring to game for import.
By the way would someone like to be a sibling for my character? part of the character creation story.
I was going for the no-complications orphan approach myself, probably best to hash it out over TeamSpeak once we're all together.
On that note, Mgrancey is there a chance you can put the server up for a bit beforehand, so we can import characters/get used to pre-gens before everything kicks off on the day?
Can put up FG for evening to import characters, pregens hadn't been assembled yet as I wasn't sure what people might be bringing. Will be making 2 jacks and 2 nanos for Pregens at this point though.
I'm guessing tonight's (Friday's) game of this was cancelled?
EDIT: It looks like the second session of this was cancelled due to lack of player sign ups.
It was canceled as there was only 2 people signed up I posted on Monday, I believe, that I was making Wednesday evening the cutoff date so both other players and myself could make other plans if it fell through.
I must admit I didn't notice the comment was against yesterday's event. Was yesterday's event or today's event cancelled?
Friday's even was canceled, this sesssion was for Thursday.

About NASPA
Featured: Arthur from Save the Chimps
NAPSA was founded in 2010 by the directors of seven of the leading chimpanzee sanctuaries on the continent. With chimpanzees as the common denominator among the founding members, and the atmosphere of hope surrounding the end of use of chimps in biomedical research and the entertainment industry, the early focus of NAPSA was on chimp-related issues.
However, with the construction of the organization's infrastructure complete, NAPSA has expanded its ranks by accepting applications for membership from primate sanctuaries across the continent.
NAPSA was formed to share information, experience, policies and procedures, in an effort to increase the success of each member sanctuary. It also serves as a central point of contact and expertise for issues relating to captive primates. Each full member sanctuary is licensed and inspected by the United States Department of Agriculture (or its Canadian equivalent), licensed by relevant state and county authorities, and either fully accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries or certified by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
NAPSA unites the primate sanctuary community, builds capacity to provide sanctuary for captive nonhuman primates, and advocates to eliminate primate exploitation.
NAPSA is governed by a Steering Committee made up of representatives from organizations with full membership.
Read bios of our Steering Committee.
NAPSA is a Non-Profit
NAPSA is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, an Oakland, CA-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Initial funding for NAPSA was provided by the Arcus Foundation, the New England Anti-Vivisection Society and the Park Foundation.
Council of Professionals
NAPSA is grateful for the following people who serve on its Council of Professionals. The Council consists of thoughtful leaders from the primate protection community and beyond who advise NAPSA members and staff as needed. The Council does not direct NAPSA's daily activities.

A new membership program looks to alleviate pain points of emerging fashion designers
By Amreen Malik on February 21, 2019
The internet has done many wonderful things for fashion, particularly smaller brands and independent designers. Small fashion brands that would …
Small fashion brands that would never have been able to get off the ground 10 years ago can now find modest but sustainable success through small online stores and a dedicated social media following.
But even with the lowered barrier to entry of the fashion market, challenges abound around things like paying for shipping and establishing an efficient back-end. Alleviating these problems for independent designers is the impetus behind a new program from Not Just A Label, an 11-year-old platform founder Stefan Siegel characterized as a bit like LinkedIn for fashion designers.
On Not Just A Label, customers can buy clothes directly from designers. Siegel said the company launched the careers of designers including Mary Katrantzou, Damir Doma and Rad Hourani.The majority of its designers are based in the U.S.and U.K. and customers come from all around the globe.NJAL+, the new initiative from the company, is a membership program meant to alleviate the challenges of being an independent fashion designer without the backing of a big brand or money from venture capital.E-commerce is tough, especially with new designers, said Siegel. The majority of the designers on our platform have their own online shop or they sell on Instagram.Last summer, we did a survey of our designers, and they told us what their challenges were: It was shipping was expensive, no access to trade shows. So I thought, Why dont we use the combined negotiating power and go to UPS and Apple, and show them that, altogether, our designers ship thousands of products?'Designers using the platform can pay a $49 monthly membership fee to join NJAL+ and, in exchange, NJAL negotiates on behalf of those designers collectively with UPS and other service providers to get them better deals on shipping, website hosting and more.
Not Just A Label has around 35,000 designers currently using its platform, around 70 percent of which are engaged in other e-commerce sites. The membership also grants access to amenities like discounted subscriptions to Womens Wear Daily, discounted classes at Parsons School of Design and discounted hotel rooms at Standard Hotels.Siegel compares the service to functioning somewhat like a union because those designers individually do not have a lot of negotiating power with UPS but together make up thousands of products being shipped every year. Shipping through UPS can cost more than $10 per one-pound shipment across the country. Not Just A Label has been promoting NJAL+ on its own social media channels and is also including educational tools for member designers to learn how to better market their own stores."Independent designers are very creative, but they often don't have the time, business savvy or technical skills to market and sell their products online," said David Naumann, vp of marketing at BRP Consulting.
"Designers want to spend their time on what they do best: designing clothes. Designing and promoting a website that will get noticed by luxury shoppers is a daunting task."The power this program puts in the hands of smaller brands and independent designers is consistent with a larger resistance that some small fashion brands have had to work with bigger partners. While retailers like Nordstrom have been working on snapping up small DTC brands, some of those brands have pulled back on retail partnerships in favor of direct sales.Siegel sees NJAL as part of a larger movement in fashion away from the dominance of a few giant companies to a large number of smaller ones.Ten years ago, most designers were using MySpace, Siegel said.They could not show at NYFW, they couldnt get noticed at all if they didnt know someone. But a lot of designers dont need to sell a million dollars worth of product.
They dream of selling one thing to one person and making a sustainable profit. I think the market has changed drastically and it's much more democratic.
Its more open to this kind of model.As the barriers for entry into the fashion marketplace get lowered, independent designers and small brands have more opportunities to flourish.At the same time, those smaller entities still need resources and access in order to compete with larger brands that have bigger budgets."E-commerce and online marketplaces have created a viable way for independent designers to create a business with very little investment, Naumann said.
Before e-commerce, independent designers needed to open a store or get another store to carry their designs. Both options had limited sales opportunities, and opening a store is very expensive.Entrepreneurs will continue to flourish, and online marketplaces and e-commerce platforms are making it easier for new independent designers to live their dream."
