Arkansas vs Alabama: The SEC Heavyweight Bout No One Expected

Two years ago, the Arkansas Razorbacks and Alabama Crimson Tide fired their respective head coaches. Mike Anderson had never suffered a losing season and had a stellar 169-102 record at Arkansas. Avery Johnson took the Crimson Tide to the NCAA Tournament in his third season and finished 75-62 overall. Both firings were a bit surprising, but not shocking. Both the Razorbacks and Crimson Tide were tired of being "good" SEC programs and wanted to jump into actual contention. With the hirings of Eric Musselman and Nate Oats, both programs set sails for the top of the conference.
Now, just two years later, the two teams hold the top two spots in the conference standings. They face off at Bud Walton Arena Wednesday night for an SEC heavyweight bout.
Red-Hot Arkansas Razorbacks Host Mighty Alabama Crimson Tide
Arkansas vs Alabama: The SEC Heavyweight Battle No One Saw Coming
The Alabama Crimson Tide (18-5, 13-1 SEC) are the biggest surprise team in the SEC this year, if not the surprise of the entire 2021 NCAA basketball season. Oats has taken a team with minimal NCAA Tournament experience in recent history and turned them into a top 10 team in the nation virtually overnight. The Arkansas Razorbacks (17-5, 9-4 SEC), on the other hand, started slow in conference play but have now reeled off seven-straight conference wins, including road wins at Auburn, Kentucky, and Missouri. The last team to beat them in SEC play? The Crimson Tide.
[pickup_prop id="3006″]
According to the latest bracketology by Andy Katz, the Tide are holding onto a two-seed, while the Hogs have soared to a six-seed. Arkansas cracked the AP Top-25 for the first time since 2018 a week ago, and have since climbed to the 20th spot in the poll. The Crimson Tide are knocking on the door of the top five, sitting at 6th in the nation coming into the contest. Not only do the two squads sit atop the SEC standings, but are the two highest ranked teams in the conference as well.
What's at Stake
If the Hogs are able to pull off the upset (though they're a -1.5 point favorite as of this writing), it would be one of the biggest wins for the program in recent memory. They could assert themselves as the favorite for the two-seed in the SEC Tournament, and might even boost their NCAA Tournament stock enough to move into the top 16 seeds. That might be a bit of wishful thinking for the Arkansas faithful, but it could be within the realm of possibility.
If the mighty Tide win, they'll add yet another impressive win to their already beefy resume, but it wouldn't do much in terms of seeding. For Alabama to move into the top four seeds, they'll likely have to hope Ohio State or Michigan stumble enough to open up a spot.
Arkansas Razorbacks, Sleeping Giant
Everyone knew Arkansas had the potential to be a sleeping giant in the SEC. They were a national powerhouse throughout the 1990s, but fell apart in the early 2000s. Anderson brought them back to relevancy but never got over the hump. Now, after just under two seasons, Musselman has them back in the national conversation. At Alabama, though, the thought of winning the SEC is an afterthought. For football, at least. In basketball, it never seemed possible that the Tide could be the best team in the league. Could they be a top three team? Sure. But the dominating force of the conference over an entire season? No one, not even Alabama fans, saw that one coming. Yet, in just under two seasons, Oats has the Tide at an all-time high in terms of excitement.
For Arkansas, many believed Musselman could get the team back on the rails in due time. That road got bumpy after a dismal 2-4 start to conference play, including losses by 31 points to Alabama, 16 to LSU, and 13 at home against Missouri. However, the team has since exploded for a 7-1 record with the lone loss coming on the road against Oklahoma State in a game that came down to the final few possessions. Musselman went from a warm seat to savior in the span of just a couple weeks. There's no telling where he'll take this Arkansas program over the next few seasons.
Alabama Crimson Tide Ready to Roll SEC
Now, at Alabama, the standard is not traditionally as high as Arkansas. However, Johnson did his best to change that. He kept the Tide in NCAA Tournament contention throughout his tenure, but like Anderson, never really got over the hump. Oats changed that immediately. In his first season at Alabama, he managed just a 16-15 record and finished 9th in the conference. No one batted an eye.
Then, just as everyone forgot about the Tide, he opened the 2021 conference season on a 10-game winning streak (with a non-conference loss to Oklahoma somewhere in the middle) before finally dropping a game at Missouri. However, it's not about the fact that Alabama was winning those games, it's how they've been winning them. The Tide have had very few close contests this season, but have a plethora of blowout victories. They beat Kentucky (at Rupp Arena) by 20 points. On a road trip to Baton Rouge, the Tide handed LSU a 30-point loss. They've already beaten Arkansas by 31 this season before tonight's rematch.
The Tide are kicking tail. And it's only the beginning.
Bright Futures and the Seeds of Rivalry
As previously mentioned, this is but the beginning of both Musselman and Oats' tenures. In their second seasons, they've got their programs to the highest levels they've seen in years. The potential for each program to improve even further is there, and they've both gotten the attention of the SEC at large. Of course, the perennial powerhouses of Kentucky and Florida will always be right there in the running, and teams with recent success like LSU, Tennessee, and Auburn want back in the fight as well. But the SEC isn't what it used to be. It's quickly turning into a legitimate threat to the NCAA basketball world. And in the growth and madness, a new rivalry could be blooming.
Musselman and Oats, in my opinion, should be seen as peer coaches. They took over programs in similar situations at the same time, and have turned them around rather quickly. In their lone meeting last season, the Razorbacks pulled out a narrow 82-78 win in Tuscaloosa. The Tide (9th) finished one spot ahead of the Hogs (10th) in the final SEC standings, but neither made much noise. Now, in year two, the two teams are once again stuck to each other in the standings, only this time it's at the very top.
The head-to-head between the coaches sits at 1-1, and tonight will break the tie in one direction or another. If SEC fans are lucky, this could be the start of a new basketball rivalry between two up-and-coming programs ready to take on the college basketball world. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. CT at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and can be seen on ESPN2.

Betting Strategy - World's best online play poker live sites on the internet with webcam and voice chat facility.
Every poker game is distinct in the form of laying wagers. Nevertheless these common guidelines to laying a wager can a player in every game. The most essential talent for a player to know is when to stop betting in a game of poker. An essential point is that the winning kitties should matter as far as calculated betting is concerned.
When a poker player is confident of a win then he should work towards enlarging the kitty by either aggressive bets as also by raising more in the latter rounds. The poker strategy that one should apply is play a cool game in the former rounds so the other players don't feel compelled to quit, which would minimize the kitty.
A player should scrutinize the moves of other players, which is common to everything in a game of poker. If a player is placing large bets at the onset and suddenly he begins checking or he isn't as hard-hitting as he's been, it's obvious his hand didn't turn up quite the way he expected.
A player might find it difficult to win the kitty by pretending if he is playing at a loose table, nevertheless the kitties will be larger if he wins. A player should play with resolution. The opponents don't like to delays caused due to a player's indecision. Also the opponents won't have enough time to scrutinize your patterns.
When playing at a tight poker table if a player bets vigorously he could win a few small kitties in the former rounds. But he should be cautious or he might get trapped when someone pretends and end up losing because of a weak hand. If a player's hand isn't too good, he could win a few kitties by betting vigorously.
If the opponents aren't poker betting too much money in the former rounds it means their hands aren't too good. If a player bets big at this point he could drive the opponents into quitting and walk away with the kitty. The kitty won't be too large, however you could get it even if you don't have much money to begin with.
Another good approach is to check; it is certainly a good idea if the player is unsure where his hand stands in comparison to the opponents'. A player should monitor the betting style of his opponents when his hand isn't too good. A player might stand a chance if several players quit and the few who remain aren't betting too aggressively. Although it would be best to quit if the opponents are playing vigorously and the player feels he could be beat.

Milestones in Computing
The Analytical Engine (First mechanical computer)
Charles Babbage comes up with the first proposal for a mechanical computer in the year of 1837. The analytical engine contained an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) and integrated memory. Funding issues delayed building of the machine until 1910 when Henry Babbage (Charles Babbage's youngest son) managed to assemble enough of the machine so that it performed very basic calculations.

1920's was a time of many new inventions. This decade was booming drastically. New inventions such as silent movies, the radio, and most importantly Henry Ford's Model T. After WWI, America advanced greatly in economic success, allowing them to enjoy more leisure time and technology. People were getting more money and began to spend lots of more money. People of the 20's therefore began to spend money for better roads, tourism and holidays with family. which eventually lead to Henry Ford's Model T. It was the first car invented and helped American people to live an easy life by making transportation easier and much more faster.

In the 1930's computing was found to be a breakthrough into the world of technology. The introduction to this concept flourished as the years went by and the wonderful world of technology grew bigger than anyone could ever imagine. The first big breakthrough was with "well logging" in the year of 1932 and was considered a basic tool for that specific year. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.slb.com/about/history/1930s.aspx

In 1980 home computers were being bought left and right in British homes. The Sinclair ZX was created to be user friendly, and everyone wanted them for educational purposes. The creators of the computer wanted to create a whole new revolution to homes, schools and workplaces. Before they were introduced to people outside of working places, you would only find a computer in a factory, or a business. You would sometimes only find one computer for a huge company that everyone would share. Overtime scientist wanted to squeeze as much information into one small computer, they could put all the security needed to make a computer all onto a few tiny micro-chips. Later on the Sinclair ZX80 was made and it was created for under one-hundred dollars. People said that it looked like an overgrown calculator.

The only place to access a computer was either at the office, school, or the library. Until in the 1990's home computers were born. This allowed students to study at home and also let people work from home as well. In 1992 the World Wide Web was introduced, which allowed users to get online and browse the internet. By 1993 the internet had about 130 websites and in 1995 businesses had begun to develop. Google is a huge milestone in the internet genre. When you get online to look up a recipe, or directions somewhere, or to just find facts, you use Google. Google came about in 1998 in pioneering their work place and continue to do so now.

Technology in 2010 had many Advances in modern technology.
Motion Technology we got the first motion active game system the Xbox 360 and the Wii and let go of the controllers.
3D Technology 3D television entered the marketplace this year. Panasonic's unveiling of the world's first integrated twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder, followed by the first 3D consumer camcorder. Fujifilm also grabbed attention with the W3 – the world's first compact 3D camera capable of shooting high definition video – and British tabloid The Sun published the first 3D newspaper complete with 3D glasses on June 5. Space tourism takes off A string of world first announcements during 2010 from Virgin Galactic has marked a shift in the push towards space tourism. Among these we saw the first captive carry flight, the first free flight and the first manned flight of VSS Enterprise, plus the opening of the two mile long runway at Spaceport America. Ipad This is my gadget of the year, without a doubt. For casual web browsing, ebook reading, games and even light office work, the iPad is a revelation. It's more comfortable to use on the sofa than a laptop and the screen is more practical than a smartphone. IPhone 4 A minor kerfuffle about reception problems that the iPhone 4 suffers when held in a certain way seems to have been forgotten. Equipped with a stunning 'Retina' display, the iPhone 4 really shines when it comes to video - it offers HD video with easy editing facilities - and graphically demanding games, such as Epic's astonishing Infinity Blade. In FaceTime, its video chat application, Apple has the makings of a powerful product.
Android If any one mobile operating system has had the best of 2010, it's surely Google's Android: 300,000 Android gadgets, mostly mobile phones but tablets too, are now activated around the world every day. But in 2010, too, a whole new trend emerged. Twitter The service continued to grow during 2010, adding a further 100 million new registered accounts and is now valued at $3.7bn, post a recent round of funding. The site underwent a total redesign, significantly improving the layout, discovery tools and search capabilities. However, most significantly, 2010 was the year that Twitter, six years on from founding, finally launched a commercial model and started generating revenues outside of its search index deals. Its advertising model, called promoted tweets, went live in the US in April and was spearheaded by then chief operating officer, Dick Costolo.

Women's soccer 'looking to gel' early in 2015
Friday, August 28th, 2015 at 7:55 PM
By Mike Fenner
Published in: Vol. 115, No. 1
Jansen Hartmann notched 16 points last season for the Fighting Scots.
Talk about turnover.
In 2015, the Edinboro women's soccer team must not only replace the production and leadership of six senior starters from last year's squad, including the program's first ever All-American, Becca Costello. The Scots also lost goalkeeper Meghan Kelly, who set a program record for victories with 26 and lost Liz Debo, the all-time goal scorer in program history, finishing her career with 38 goals.
Although it sounds like a major overhaul, head coach Gary Kagiavas believes the new group of leaders will be able to handle the duties in a fine manor.
"We have to replace, I want to say seven starters from last year," Kagiavas said. "This is why coaches have sleepless nights, right? However, the captains we have in place, I think are more than able to lead by example, lead on the field, lead as people and I look forward to their time being as impressive as the people that we lost."
As far as returners, senior midfielder and second team all-PSAC performer Jansen Hartmann registered a career-high 16 points last season, a figure that led the Scots as a team. Sophomore forwards Ashley Mutkus (16 starts) and junior Alex Brown (started all 19 matches) each finished 2014 with 13 points with Brown also leading the team at five assists.
The Fighting Scots were picked seventh out of a 17-team PSAC for the preseason coaches' poll after finishing the 2014 campaign with a 10-7-2 overall record as Edinboro concluded the year 9-5-2 in conference affairs.
"We speak about how much we lost and yet we were still voted seventh, which is out of 17 schools, in the third most difficult conference in the country," Kagiavas said frankly. "Clearly people have respect for our program. It's kind of nice that they respect us that much, but at the same time I'm not sure if they are correct."
Playing three of their first five contests on the road a season ago, Edinboro came out of the gates slowly with a 0-4-1 start, which included an overtime loss and a double overtime draw to begin the year.
Although the Scots would follow that stretch with a seven game winning streak, just one win shy of breaking a school record for consecutive wins, Kagiavas wants to see a better start this year from his squad.
"This year's starting team Clarion [is] a bit different," Kagiavas said. "Notre Dame of Ohio is the number one team in the other region, so we'll find out exactly what we're made of there and then we get into the meat and potatoes of our schedule. I'm hoping we can at least be 2-0 before we get the Ship game. I think Ship and Millersville are going to be tough."
After narrowly missing out on the NCAA tournament a year ago, breaking a streak of four straight trips to the NCAA's, Kagiavas believes the standards and expectations should be getting back to those heights.
"I honestly believe, if we don't have too many injuries, I think at the end we could be there," Kagiavas said. "As long as we get in the tournament, I think we can beat anybody; we really can. I think for us, it all determines how long it takes us to gel. Winning the conference is definitely a reality."
Edinboro opens up the 2015 season on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m. at Clarion University before returning home to debut at Sox Harrison Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 1 p.m. against Notre Dame College (Oh.).
The Scots remain home for their following two contests as they host Shippensburg on Friday, Sept. 11 at 1 p.m. and Millersville on Saturday, Sept. 12 at noon.

I Leave for France in Six Days!
Summer is here in full force, and I'm getting ready to spend four months overseas. Three of those months will be spent in France with my back up band, "The Carbone Band". I can't wait to reunite with them again! I fly out on July 9th, arrive on the 10th, and have a show with them on the 12th. All my things are packed away, my room is being sublet, and again I am like a traveler in my own City. This is usually how it is before I leave or return from a very long trip. There's always that point of limbo, where I'm not completely grounded, and I get to experience my place of residence as if I'm just visiting. I think it helps give me a fresh perspective. I'm sad to leave my close loved ones in San Francisco behind, but also looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead in Europe!

The European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) was founded at a meeting of 20 scientists from 11 countries in Brussels on May 21, 1976. The participants decided to create a new society, the European Society of Biomechanics. Biomechanics was defined as "The study of forces acting on and generated within a body and of the effects of these forces on the tissues, fluids or materials used for diagnosis, treatment or research purposes". The primary goal of the ESB was formulated as "To encourage, foster, promote and develop research, progress and information concerning the science of Biomechanics".
Those present at this meeting were selected to be the Founding Members and a first Council was formed under the Presidency of Dr. John Scales. Statutes and By-laws were drafted under the directorship of the first Secretary-General, Dr. Franz Burny. The statutes were approved under French law and registered in Strasbourg. A first scientific meeting and General Assembly of the membership was held in Brussels in 1978. From 20 members in 1976, the society grew to about 100 in 1985 and about 350 in 1996.

Alia is a single mother looking after her adult son who has learning disabilities. They live in appalling conditions. They have nowhere to dry their clothes, Alia hates that her clothes smell damp. She has nowhere to cook, making it difficult for her to control their diabetes through eating unhealthy food. She has no money and is under horrible pressure from the people who own the place where she is staying. She doesn't have anywhere to call home, every day is a massive struggle for survival.
Alia doesn't live in a war zone, she lives right here in Newham. The Renewal Programme are supporting Alia to try to assert her rights and resolve the many difficulties she and her son are facing. The Renewal Programme provides food, advice, support and love every single week. Even sometimes to have some fun and smile. We provide emotional support and free art classes, which she has been participating in for the past two weeks.
The Renewal Programme can't support Alia without your help. Our fresh foods funding has been taken away resulting in people like Alia being malnutritioned. Please donate £2 a month to our Refugee and Migrant Project so that we can give people like Alia and her son hope, and support them with the facilities to move towards a better future. If we don't help Alia she will have absolutely nothing. Please help.
My excellent colleague Arnold is foregoing presents on his retirement, but has invited donations to this charity, which I am delighted to support.

Henry Miller comes to mind because Jeff is reading him.
I started reading Black Spring and did not like it, though. I think its easy for his style to turn into a cliche. Stick with the Tropics imo.
Only because I really want to have a career out there and it was cool reading about it from a legitimate writer's perspective.
I second the Tropic of Cancer vote. A true classic.
I would also add the Island by Aldous Huxley which maybe one of the best philosophical novels ever written.
yeah, its one of those books i feel like i'm always carrying around in the pit of my stomach. i have so much love for it i can't even express it. at this stage in my life it is my favorite book ever.
I just read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo recently. It did not impact me profoundly.

There is a movie based on this book now, right?
I'm pretty sure they have three movies to match the three books put out by the Swedes. However,there is an American trilogy in the works!
surprised it didn't come to mind immediately - The Denial of Death!
I consider ^^^ every day.
another one, should be obvious: Animal Liberation by Peter Singer.

Q: Install Glassfish 4 on Amazon EC2 Ubuntu instance I have a EC2 instance on AWS running Ubuntu 13.10 and I need to install Glassfish 4 on it. I have found several tutorials on how to install Glassfish 3.x on it, including this one and I tried to just do that tutorial substituting in glassfish 4 where appropriate, however, when I get to
/etc/init.d/glassfish start

I get a command not found error. What else do I need to do other than just substitute glassfish_v3/glassfishv3 with glassfish4?
Or, does anyone have a tutorial that is specific for glassfish4 on EC2?

A: Type as below
sudo service glassfish start

Alternative: If you like GUI ,
sudo apt-get install bum

can help you to manage GUI way.

Q: Cogent arguments for 'semantic css' over 'object oriented css' [Context - I'm a Java developer, having a discussion with a designer who works in the html/css space]
I was having a discussion with a co-worker today about the merits of 'semantic css'.
His response was, "Oh we're not interested in semantic css, we use object oriented css"
I understand what he means, ie that they're using the 'inheritance' properties of css and SASS mixins to describe styles. But I feel like he has not tried to understand 'semantic css'.
I'm trying to construct a cogent argument about why 'object oriented css over semantic css' is flawed.
This is my reasoning so far:

*

*"css isn't object oriented" https://stackoverflow.com/a/7431746/15441

*Write html code with semantic components http://css.dzone.com/articles/object-oriented-css-crap-long

*Examples of layout out your page with semantic components http://woork.blogspot.com.au/2008/11/css-coding-semantic-approach-in-naming.html

*Examples of non-semantic naming http://css-tricks.com/semantic-class-names/
My question is "what are some cogent arguments explain semantic css to someone who thinks that 'inheritance', 'classes' and 'mixins' make something object oriented and that he doesn't need to worry about good naming?"

A: The two don't have to fight necessarily but generally I'm in agreement that the "OOP CSS" people generally don't have a clue about good programming or good CSS. Some do, but a lot don't.

*

*First of all when people talk about OOP-style CSS, what they're really talking about is a componentization scheme. Not OOP. That they're willing to call it OOP is an argument against it in and of itself. Kool Aid has been mixed and it is being drunk.

*Multiple classes used to compose the styles for one element is actually very similar to an inheritance-heavy scheme in OOP. Both are equal parts stupid and needlessly couple concerns by making one set of properties a dependency of far too many things for you to ever change it without running into all sorts of trouble across your entire app. You can have categories of classes define certain subsets in such a way that it does in fact become easy to swap one out for another with little trouble but this puts a pretty hefty burden of competence on typical devs that don't immediately see "OOP CSS" for the oxymoron that it is. But ultimately it's not really designed that way so why do it like that? HTML and CSS work best when you work with how they work, not with how some serious-sounding acronym approach wants them to work.
That said, CSS isn't really designed as semantic either, but it is worth following a similar strategy. Where HTML should mostly describe content, html ID and class names should NOT describe what the CSS or JS bound to them actually do. shiny_red_button IMO is a lousy name for a CSS class. For as design churns, one day your button may not be so big red and shiny even though the button still specifically handles panic and should thus be called 'panic' or perhaps 'panic_btn' if you like denoting the sorts of elements it typically applies to.
I go with the following general rules

*

*Don't describe looks or details of a handler in ID or class names.

Be kinda-semantic. The HTML gives us a general idea of what will be found within. Now get a little more specific as to its design purpose.

*

*Use as few selectors as possible always

The thing that OOP-style CSS thinks it's reacting to is specificity run amuck. Fail. Specificity is not the enemy. It is a tool that you either use well or misuse. So when somebody says "Don't use IDs because they're harder to override" slap them or have them consider this:
#unique_element_container_on_page > a vs. .unique.element.container.on.page > a
If there is one thing that should profoundly offend designers, ui devs, and app/server-oriented devs equally, it's having to !@#$ing count something (like say a java method with 20 optional parameters) to figure out what you need to do next.

*

*IDs are okay.

Said again because I think CSS lint is being silly.

*

*Let context do the polymorphing

HTML is basically taxonomy. Broad categories that fit less broad categories that keep working their way down to specific/unique things. CSS works best when following along with this scheme. Sections may have variations on an even more general theme.
Overriding that theme with a section class followed by whatever descendant is different usually makes a lot more sense than writing a new css component class and dropping that in on the specific element that's different to replace an old one. Intent is more clear and you have fewer dependencies per element to trip on. Except of course when the theme variation isn't really related to where an element is placed. That's one of those rare cases where I'll bust out a comma and add a selector to an existing one and then define its variant properties immediately following with just the new selector. Do enough of that sort of thing and you can white label swap with a simple class change at the top of the page in your HTML.

*

*It is okay to repeat yourself

Use DRY as more of a smell detector than the golden rule with rare exceptions that it is in programming. In CSS it is far more common for two almost like property sets to be like by coincidence, not because their selectors share a purpose. It's better to leave them separated for the day that someone will want to change one and not the other. An ideal CSS file works much like a control-panel where it's reasonably easy to find what you need in order to change something with confidence that you won't also change something else by accident.

A: I personally can get on board with a nice balance of the two where in you have oocss for helpers and you have semantic css for components... and the decision to create a component would come in when you find yourself applying the same oocss elements repeatedly.
I don't get why people are so all or nothing, there needs to be a balance, one nice thing about a balanced approach is the ability to have an over-ride on a semantic class using oocss... so say you have a container defined that has all of the properties you want but you want blue text instead of black, you can use your semantic class followed by a blue text color class and css hierarchy will respect it.
This means you don't have to bloat your css with another almost identical semantic component
and you don't have to write any css at all, just drop in two classes and you're done...

A: Thanks for your comments - I've been able to clarify my thoughts on this.
The distinction between the two seems to be on workflow. The former (object oriented css) is more of a traditional print based approach where colours and styles are chosen first for a branding goal, and then the website is assembled from that later. The latter (semantic css) approach is more clearly linked to a website design goal, where a site can be built and the styles can be easily tweaked later, without necessarily changing the code on the page.
If you have a workflow that goes graphic designer does colours and style -> css designer -> web developer, and the styles are unlikely to change - then an object oriented css approach is more appropriate (but less flexible later).
If you have a workflow where the graphic designer and css person will work iteratively to tweak the website to a particular goal - then semantic css is more appropriate.
The big distinguishing criterion is that semantic css allows customisation to the site by changing the style without the site.
(There is probably an outstanding question about whether the design goal of css intended you to be able to tweak the site without changing the code of the page - but that's a discussion for another day)
(I do appreciate the comments that say that good naming is the main thing you're worried about. My point is that you should name the page elements first and then build styles from that - rather than build css elements and then pick and choose them into your page)

Albert Miller von Hauenfels (* 6. Februar 1818 in Tápiószele, Ungarn; † 5. November 1897 in Graz, Steiermark) war ein österreichischer Montanist sowie Professor an der Bergakademie Leoben.

Seine Eltern waren der Berg-, Salinen- und Forstdirektor Albert Miller (1795–1886) und dessen Ehefrau Anna Fritsko (auch: Frisko, Fretsko) († 1818). Sein Vater erhielt 1859 den österreichischen Adel als Miller Ritter von Hauenfels. Der Vater heiratete 1824 Anna Solterer (1808–1888.)

Albert Miller besuchte das Stiftsgymnasium Kremsmünster und die Bergakademie Schemnitz. 1840 trat er in den Staatsdienst, 1841 wurde er Schichtmeister im Salzbergwerk Hall in Tirol. Ab 1849 war er Professor für Bergbau- und Markscheidekunde an der Montanlehranstalt in Leoben. Er erfand 1855 nahezu zeitgleich mit Jakob Amsler-Laffon den Polarplanimeter zur Flächenberechnung. Im Jahr 1865 eröffnete er einen Graphitbergbau in der Sunk bei Trieben.

Er ist auf dem St.-Leonhard-Friedhof in Graz beigesetzt.

Er heiratete 1848 in Hall (Tirol) Franziska Anger (1827–1912). Das Paar hatte mehrere Kinder, darunter:

Q: C-style conditional compilation in golang Does golang support
#define DEBUG

#ifdef DEBUG
  fmt.Println("Debug message...");
#endif

So I can build a debug version with zero runtime overhead?

A: if you work on linux or Mac , you can try the "m4" command.This command is a macro processor which just fits this issue.
Writing a Makefile to run the m4 command before "go build" can do the same as using "go build -tags ..." and support more customization and of course, save your work.
for example:
write these within your go file(such as main.go):
define(DEBUG)
ifdef(`DEBUG',
    fmt.Println("Debug message...");
)

write these within your Makefile file:
all:*.go
    mv main.go main.go.bak
    m4 main.go.bak > main.go
    go build
    mv main.go.bak main.go

then run "make".
Disadvantage:

*

*You can't write a go function named "define" or "ifndef" etc which will be translated into Macro by m4.

*If you have a lot of files you may want to improve your Makefile.

*You may want to study m4 which is a little difficult and complicated.

A: Go does not have a preprocessor or a macro system. What you could do is pass in tags to go build through the -tags flag and use build constraints. To do this you would need two versions of the same source and only one would get build depending if the tag is present or not.
Look at build constraints in https://golang.org/pkg/go/build/
main_debug.go
// +build debug

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Debug build")
}

main_release.go
// +build !debug

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Release build")
}

Here go build would compile with main_release.go and go build -tags debug would compile with main_debug.go

Charly Dutournier (* 15. Mai 1994 in Bordeaux) ist ein französischer Fußballspieler.

Vereinskarriere
Dutournier begann das Fußballspielen bei einem Verein aus Latresne bei Bordeaux und spielte in seiner Jugend bei weiteren Klubs aus der Umgebung der südwestfranzösischen Metropole, ehe er 2007 in die Jugendabteilung des Profiklubs Girondins Bordeaux aufgenommen wurde. Der Spieler hatte jedoch mit Verletzungen zu kämpfen und musste den Verein nach zwei Jahren wieder verlassen. Er ging zur U-17-Mannschaft eines unterklassigen Klubs und zeigte derart gute Leistungen, dass sein Trainer den Spieler seinem Vater Bernard Blaquart empfahl, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt das Ausbildungszentrum des Zweitligisten FC Tours leitete.

So kam es, dass Dutournier 2011 zu Tours wechseln konnte, wo er am 11. Februar 2012 beim 0:1 im Zweitligaspiel gegen den FC Istres erstmals im Aufgebot der ersten Mannschaft stand und mit seiner Einwechselung in der 80. Minute sein Profidebüt feiern konnte. Dies blieb sein einziger Einsatz in der Saison 2011/12, an deren Ende er mit einem Profivertrag ausgestattet wurde. Am zweiten Spieltag der neuen Spielzeit stand er beim 2:2 gegen Chamois Niort zum ersten Mal von Beginn an auf dem Platz und erzielte in der 69. Minute sein erstes Tor für die Profis. Dem folgten im weiteren Saisonverlauf unregelmäßige Einsätze für das Team. Zu Beginn der Saison 2013/14 wurde der Stürmer, der zuvor nur für die erste Auswahl oder für die Jugendmannschaft Spiele bestritten hatte, in den Kader der zweiten Mannschaft aufgenommen.

Im Sommer 2014 wechselte er zum Viertligisten Stade Bordelais aus seiner Geburtsstadt Bordeaux und erzielte für diesen anschließend 13 Saisontore. Daraufhin wurde er in der Sommerpause 2015 vom Zweitligisten FCO Dijon verpflichtet und direkt an die drittklassige US Boulogne weiterverliehen. In Boulogne kam er allerdings nicht über zwei Einsätze hinaus und kehrte bereits im Herbst nach Dijon zurück, wo er für die zweite Mannschaft spielte. Im Vorfeld der Spielzeit 2016/17 wurde er an die in die dritte Liga aufgestiegene US Concarneau verliehen.

Nationalmannschaft
Sein Debüt für eine nationale Jugendauswahl gelang dem Spieler, zu Beginn des Jahres 2013 für die französische U-19 berücksichtigt wurde und beim 2:2 gegen Kroatien am 5. Februar nach seiner Einwechselung in der 57. Spielminute für diese auflief. Am 6. September desselben Jahres absolvierte er bei einem 4:1 gegen Kanada seine erste Partie für die U-20.

Home Appliances Vacuum Kalorik Home HUVI robot vacuum R1 review
Kalorik Home HUVI robot vacuum R1 review
Rae Chen
There aren't a lot of new features left to discover in the vacuuming world, but the Kalorik Home HUVI R1 Robot Vacuum has one suggestion: aromatherapy. The HUVI R1 features air-purifying technology with a spot for essential oils, offering a new twist to your household chore schedule.
What's in the box of the Kalorik Home HUVI Robot Vacuum R1?
In the box of the Kalorik Home HUVI Robot Vacuum R1, you'll find the vacuum and a very small charging base, along with a charging adapter, manual, and cleaning tool. The HUVI comes in fairly compact packaging, which makes it great for gifting and moving.
On the underside of the HUVI R1, there is a removable brush roll and a large, bagless dustbin. The bin features a removable HEPA 13 filter and a UVC sanitizing light, and the underside of the vacuum has two attachment spots for side brushes. Four side brushes are included in the box; two for thin rugs and hard floors, and two for thick carpets.
On the side of the HUVI is something I've never seen before: an aroma diffuser. Also included in the box of the HUVI is a bag of aroma strips (felt pads) and a bottle of Sweet Orange essential oil.
What are the features of the Kalorik HUVI Robot Vacuum?
The Kalorik HUVI Robot Vacuum R1 features quiet 2600 PA suction and a double-sided filter. On one side of the filter, a medical-grade HEPA 13 filter is designed to trap 99.95% of allergens. On the other, copper wire is meant to filter large particles. When this vacuum is running, UVC technology inside of the vacuum's dust bin aids in disinfecting the contents of the dustbin to prevent viruses and bacteria from recirculating into your home.
The HUVI R1 advertises a maximum runtime of 110 minutes before it will return to its charging base, as well as Wi-Fi, Alexa, and Google Assistant compatibility. You can turn on the vacuum's ION cleaning function to help clean the air in your home and scent the area with essential oil, and use the Kalorik Home smartphone app to set the HUVI's suction strength (low, medium, high, or max), view past cleaning history and maps, schedule future cleanings, and modify speaker volume.
Navigation and mapping in the HUVI
I've reviewed a lot of robot vacuums here at the Best Buy Blog. Back in the day, when robot vacuums were new, it was normal for them to take quite a while to clean your home. Every one used a random cleaning pattern. So, some days they might take an hour, while other days, they might take three or four.
Nowadays, vacuums usually (but not always) use a straight line cleaning method, which helps to standardize how long they take to clean. Because that's what I'm used to, it felt a little strange that the Kalorik Home HUVI R1 still uses a randomized pattern. If it bumps into an item or surface, it will bounce against it three times to try to get through the area. And it does so pretty firmly—I have to reposition all of my lights, plants, and shelves after the HUVI vacuums, and it sometimes gets itself wedged underneath furniture. (It even managed to tip over my cat's automatic feeder once and pop its bowl off!)
When the HUVI hits an object, or if it decides it's been cleaning in a straight line for too long, it turns a random number of degrees and heads in that direction. This is particularly strange to me because the HUVI has the ability to create a map of your floor plan, but it doesn't learn from those maps in future cleans.
How long does the HUVI R1 take to vacuum?
Because the Kalorik Home HUVI robot vacuum doesn't use directional navigation, it was difficult for me to work it into my home's schedule. My apartment is about 700 sq ft, and most robotic cleaners take about 50 minutes to thoroughly vacuum or mop it. Some take up to two hours, but it's rare for a robot cleaner to take that long in my home.
Despite its advertised 110-minute runtime, the Kalorik HUVI R1 vacuums in my home for a maximum of 90 minutes. After 90 minutes, it heads back to its base to charge, which takes 20-40 minutes. However, these numbers aren't consistent from one cleaning session to the next, and they aren't recorded accurately in the Kalorik Home app's cleaning history.
Sometimes, the HUVI R1 will vacuum just my bedroom (where its charging base is) again and again for the full 90 minutes, and then go back to its base to charge. In the time I've been testing and timing it, only once has it managed to vacuum my entire 700 sq ft apartment without being repositioned. That cleaning session took 90 minutes, but what struck me as odd was that it was recorded in the app as a 33 minute, 269 sq ft cleaning session.
On average, this vacuum takes 3 hours to vacuum my home, split into two 90-minute sessions with a manual repositioning in between the sessions. If I lift the vacuum from area to area, I can cut down that time by up to half.
How does the Kalorik Home HUVI handle rugs and cords?
The HUVI R1 gets stuck on both rugs and cords, which is not reflective of my experience with other robot vacuums. It can make it over the edge of heavy mats (like my memory foam kitchen mat) and raised edges. However, even though it comes with two different sets of edge sweepers (one for hard floors and thin area rugs, and one for thick carpets), it gets stuck on the edge of area rugs.
Because the HUVI R1 uses random path planning, it can get stuck on the same rug again and again. I lifted and repositioned it a dozen times before I gave up and rolled up all of my rugs!
My experience with the Kalorik Home HUVI R1 Robot Vacuum
The Kalorik Home HUVI R1 Robot Vacuum offers some very unique features, but it didn't fit my lifestyle. I like to turn my robot vacuum on right as I get into bed or as I head out the door, so a vacuum that can quickly clean without supervision is important to me. I wasn't able to do that with the HUVI, as I could never know for certain that it would make it to every room in my home.
As someone with cat allergies and a cat, it's also essential to me that any vacuum in my home filters effectively. The HUVI is designed to do this, with a HEPA 13 filter, UVC dustbin sanitization, and ionizer technology, but I found that it made me quite sneezy whenever I ran it without emptying the dustbin beforehand. So, especially if you have allergies, it's important to always empty this dustbin after use.
If you don't mind a vacuum that gets a little lost at times, the HUVI R1 is a quiet robot vacuum with unique aroma diffusing and UV-cleaning technology. It has a large dustbin, an easy-to-navigate app, and excellent battery life.

Jade Liu May 16, 2022 At 1:19 pm
My favorite feature is Alexa compatibility and and I would use the lavender scent in the diffuser!
Vincent Wong May 16, 2022 At 11:36 am
The HEPA13 filter and UV-cleaning are going to make my place so clean and dust-free! And using it with lavendar oil would be a cherry on the cake!
Jennifer Stubbs May 16, 2022 At 11:29 am
I have 3 parrots that's fly around for 4 hrs a day & do they make a mess. I love the 100 minutes vacuuming time because I need to vacum daily to keep up with the mess! I think it's great they've added a diffuser to the unit & I would be using all different oils depending on the time of year. Lavender & lemon are a couple of my favs or some lilac for spring.
Tara B. May 16, 2022 At 11:12 am
The Hepa 13 filter would be ideal for our household. I have always loved citrus in my diffusers, so I would go with the sweet orange.

B. Robinson May 15, 2022 At 7:46 pm
I think the best feature is the vacuum's ION cleaning function. Being able to clean and scent the area with essential oil while you vacuum is really great. I would love to try the Blood Orange scent that comes with the vacuum, but I am open to any other scent to try to see what works for my home!
Patricia Fretz May 15, 2022 At 7:10 pm

The entire page is here https://github.com/spf13/spf13.github.com, it being a derivative of https://github.com/weightshift/The-Personal-Page.
I'm a huge fan of Windows 7. It's the first time I've ever run a Microsoft OS on my primary (home) machine. I've compiled a set of programs that I have found to be invaluable in using Windows for serious development and computing. All are free and clean of any ads or spyware. EaseUS® Partition Master 9.1 Home Edition As Partition Magic alternative, EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition is a ALL-IN-ONE partition solution and disk management freeware.
I've decided to expand the scope of this site a bit to be more than just a blog. It makes sense, many of my posts are how tos and often for my own projects. Additionally now each project will have a legitimate project "homepage" for things like GitHub where that's requested. So without further ado… Please checkout my Projects and Presentations sections of my website spf13.com. For now most of the projects are centered around VIM and PHP and the Presentations around Ecommerce and MongoDB.
As part of my new years resolution to get in shape and spend less dough I decided that I'd be better of walking from Grand Central to my office on 18th St. I save ~$5 a day not taking the subway and get all the extra benefit of walking the 1.5 miles. A few days into this something wonderful and unexpected happened. Instead of spending 20 minutes riding in a cattle car, I was able to take 25 minutes where I was able to think about everything I had to do for the day.
I've been working in the technology industry for the last 16 years. I've learned a lot. I wanted to share the lessons I've learned over the past 16 years, I figured one for each year seemed nice. It's harder to make a short list than a long one and I had to cut out some helpful things, perhaps I'll follow this up with another one with the things that didn't make the list.
As anyone who reads my blog or follows my tweets knows, I've been working for a new startup called OpenSky since February 2010. We've launched a new ecommerce platform and aim to reinvent ecommerce as people know it online. One of the big things we are doing is making it so anyone can sell OpenSky products from anywhere online. In the spirit of eating my own dogfood, I've become an OpenSky seller.
I couldn't be more excited to announce that I have accepted a position at The Open Sky Project. I am leading the architecture, development and technology. It's rare in life that one has the opportunity to do what they love to do and be paid to do it. Even rarer is to do something great with people you love working with. At OpenSky I have found this and more.
Imagine if Apple, Disney, Microsoft, etc had chased every oppotunity that they came across. One thing is certain, you wouldn't recognize their name today. Each of these companies was successful because of extreme focus around a central vision. As Bill Cosby said.. "I don't know the key to success but the key to failure is to try to please everyone." Bill Gates achieved monumental success with Microsoft, and attributes "focus" as the key to his success.
Image via Wikipedia This isn't new, Louis C.K. ranted this on Conan's show in 2008.. I came across it recently and felt like sharing. I don't really know much about Louis C.K., this is really the first thing I've seen of him, but I think he makes some excellent points. Happiness is learning to appreciate what you have. We live in an amazing time exceeding the dreams of our grandparents.
While it may not seem intuitive taking time out to selflessly help others will help you more than them. This week I haven't had much time to blog largely because this week many opportunities arose to help others and I took them. Some at work, some outside of work. Helping others will endear them to you. Not only will you ultimately benefit more than what you've invested in helping others, but you will also make a real difference in the lives of those whom you work with.
I am happy to announce that Portero has raised $6.6 million in funding. The round was led by LFE Capital joined by returning backers including Grosvenor Funds. TechCrunch picked up the announcement early this morning and featured us on their home page. As I have a bit of an insiders view, I felt it was my place to provide a bit of insight into why Portero is such a great company.
Photographer: Frank C. Müller A while back a bunch of people were twittering about the 100 pushup challenge. Thanksgiving was the catalyst for me. I began my quest for better health about a week ago. The premise of the challenge is quite simple. It is a six week program, that if followed, you can do 100 consecutive good form push ups at the end of the program.
Permit me to shamelesly announce my promotion to Chief Information Officer at Portero Inc. Here is the Press Release on the wire this week. Portero, Inc., is pleased to announce the promotion of Steve P. Francia to the position of Chief Information Officer (CIO), effective immediately. He will continue to report to Michael Sheldon, the company's chairman and CEO, and will be responsible for operations and technology for the company.
Image via Wikipedia One of the great features of Firefox is the ability to manage multiple profiles. This is a very handy feature with many different uses. Unfortunately, it isn't easy to do on a mac. I will show you how to setup multiple profiles on a mac that appear and run like normal mac applications so you can click on them and run them from quicksilver.

ZFS, aka the Zettabyte File System, is a 128-bit file system originally designed by Sun in 2004. The main advantage of its 128-bits is that it is possible to have files as large as 16 exabytes and storage volumes that theoretically go up to a 256 quadrillion zettabytes. A zettabyte of storage might be hard to comprehend—it's equivalent to over a billion terabytes, or roughly enough space to store 251 billion single-layer DVD movies without further compression. ZFS creator Jeff Bonwick noted that filling a 128-bit file system "would exceed the quantum limits of Earth-based storage." So ZFS is designed with massive future capacity in mind.
ZFS also includes a number of features designed to simplify disk management and maintain data integrity. All disks can be assigned to a single pool of storage, and ZFS keeps track of where all data is on the physical hardware. The storage pools can be arranged as mirrors or RAID-Z groups with data redundancy. Each data block written to a device has a checksum generated automatically, which can be examined for data integrity. If any data gets corrupted, which can happen "silently," ZFS can use redundant mirror or parity data to repair the corruption without any user intervention or lengthy rebuilding.
To prevent the sort of errors that can happen during write operations, ZFS (like BtrFS and others) uses the concept of copy-on-write (COW). This means that a copy of the filesystem structure is made when in the process of writing new blocks. If a drive failure happens during the write, the original data is still accessible and the file system knows that the write operation didn't complete. Because of COW, the file system can automatically make snapshots of files as they are created and edited, recording only what has changed, which provides more efficient performance.
Though ZFS was originally developed for Sun's commercial Solaris operating system, it was made open source in 2005. Now part of Open Solaris, it has been ported to other UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux and FreeBSD.
