As you know, I really like Korean things, including drama and movies. I have watched many Korean drama and some movies too, and now I want to review a movie that I think you should watch.
My Annoying Brother! In Korea, it is named Hyung (mean: brother). This is a comedy-bromance movie, starring top actors and actress, such as Jo Jung-suk, D.O, and Park Shin-hye. This movie is the top movie among the other movies that had been released at the same week and it hit more than 1 millions views within 4 days from its released. I have watched this movie not long ago and I think this is a good movie and inspirating too. I will reveal the reason why this movie is good below, ok?
As I said, this movie is starring top actors and actress. I love the casts and their own characters. Jo Jung-suk as Doo-shik who is the older. He used to be a con artist but I think since he met Doo-young he turns into a good guy. D.O as Doo-young who is the younger. Doo-young is judo athlete who loses his sights because of an accident. At first, he got depressed but then he can stand again with the help of his brother, Doo-shik. Park Shin-hye, this beautiful actress stars as Lee Soo-hyun who is Doo-young judo coach that put so much cares to Doo-young especially after Doo-young got an accident. She also helps Doo-young to live his life again.
So first, Jo Jung-suk, I think this wonderful actor developes the character very well. He stars as Doo-shik who is a con man that hungry for money. He even uses his brother to get out of the prison. Yes, he was in the prison at the beginning of the story. At first, he doesn't care about his brother but he turns to take care of his blind brother. He actually cares for his brother and he has a big heart. He melts my heart when he does little things to his brother. He plays an important role in Doo-young's life and I think you will know it right away you watch this movie.
Ok, let me fangirling over this boy's cuteness for awhile.
You have to know that Do Kyung-soo or D.O is a member of one of the biggest idol group in Korea, EXO. He has angelic voice that make his fans go crazy. He is also one of the best actor among the idols. He starred in some dramas and movies. He has great acting skill that he proved in this movie. I just became so proud as a fan when watching him (other fans must be feeling the same as me:)). Ok, let's start reviewing him.
Like his partner, Jo Jung-suk, D.O developed and fit the character very well too. He acts well as a blind brother who is trying to get his life back. His character seems to have gone through some messes at the beginning. I was very sad knowing that he should get blind and get depressed even he thinks that even being died is better, plus, when Doo-shik came back and just give him so much pressure. But as the story flows, he got better. He is back to do judo again and his relationship with his brother get better too. But, at the end, he faces another sad story that make me crying hard. Ok, you have to watch this to know how great is his acting and how sad the story is.
Park Shin-hye in judo movie? You don't have to worry about the acting skill of this beautiful actress. She has experienced in various genres of dramas or movies. This time, she starred as Lee Soo-hyun, Doo-young judo coach. As I said, she plays an important role in Doo-young's life. She takes a lot of cares to Doo-young since he got none by his side and she is the first who is having thought of taking Doo-young back to Judo after the accident.
Here's what I love again is the bromance relationship between the brothers. Their love/hate sibling relationship is amazing. I mean I can't think of another actors who can play these roles beside them and I think they are pretty look-alike, don't they?
I personally think that the storyline isn't that 'wow'. It is just a simple story but it is delivered well, and I couldn't guess how the ending is. At first, I thought that it might have a happy ending, but there is not any happy ending.
So, the story begins with the accident that happened to Doo-young that causes him blind. Meanwhile, his older brother, Doo-shik, who was in prison, is trying to get out of there after heard that Doo-young got an accident. He uses his brother to get out of the prison. Of course he doesn't care about his brother and he just wants to get out of there. Finally, he is back to his house. Doo-shik finds Doo-young gets depressed but he doesn't care and is pretty rude to him. But, as the time goes by, he realizes that he shouldn't leave his brother behind. At the same time, Lee Soo-hyun (Doo-young's coach) thinks that Doo-young has passion in judo that he is possible to return to judo again. She asks Doo-shik for help.
This is one of the most heartbreaking moment. It is when Doo-shik teaches Doo-young to run again. Doo-shik keeps telling Doo-young to trust him more than anything. It gives so much effects to Doo-young that he wants to do judo again. Another fact that makes me sad is the fact that Doo-shik is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when they start to love each other. He can't live any longer and he wants to keep this information from Doo-young so that he can focus on judo paralympic that he is going to attend overseas. As judo has run over his blood, he can head to final.
This one is the most heartbreaking part of all scenes I think. When the final is about to start, Doo-young feels down because he has a trauma from his past accident. His coach, Lee Soo-hyun, encourages him. She said, if Doo-young can't do it for himself, then do it for his brother who is suffering from his illness. So, he tries he best for winning to make his brother proud and he got what he wants. At the end, Doo-shik passes away and Doo-young lives as a judo athlete without his beloved brother by his side.
Such a sad story, I think. But, trust me, this movie is sooooo good. I even cried at the end. Just bring some tissues with you when watching this. Oh, there are also some sweet moments between this brother. It is not only the sad moments but there are some moments that warm your heart.
Finally, this movie gives me so much emotions; smile, laugh, depression, sad, sorrow, and many more. It is not the blindness or ex-con man aspect, but it is more in terms of the hope and strength you gain from your family member, even you always get annoyed by them. I can't praise enough how great D.O's performance and how wonderful it was watching the annoying yet loveable side of Jo Jung-suk. Last words, I recommend you to watch this amazing movie.

Q: Algorithm:Sort using Median and Just 1 comparison in $ O(n \log n) $ I am trying to write an sorting algorithm which takes an input array and produces the sorted array. Following are the constraints for an algorithm.

*

*Time complexity = $O(n \log n)$

*Only one comparison operation throughout the algorithm.

*We have a function which can provide an median for a set of three elements.

I have tried finding a solution and following is my result.

*

*we use the median function to get the smallest and the largest pair.
Example: Give an array A[1..n], we get the median of the first three elements, lets call it a set and we receive a $Median$. In next Iteration we remove the received median from the set and add next element to the set and again call Median function. This step when repeated over the length produces a pair of the largest and the smallest element for the entire array.

*We use this pair, use the comparison operation and place them at position A[0] & A[n-1].

*We repeat the same operation over the array A[1..n-2] to get another pair of the largest and smallest.

*We take the median with the A[0] and newly received pair.

*Median Value is placed at the A[1].

*We take the median with the A[n-1] and newly received pair.

*Median Value is placed at the A[n-2].

Step 3~7 are repeated to get a sorted array.
This algorithm satisfies the condition 2 & 3 but not the time complexity. I hope if someone can provide some guidance how to proceed further.

A: Quicksort (presented in reverse order) works like this. Suppose you have an array:
 [1, 4, 5, 2, 3]

Quicksort in the abstract basically works by sliding towards the middle of the array from both the left and the right side. As we slide inwards, we want to swap items such that big things get moved to the right, and small things get moved to the left. Eventually we should have an array where all the small stuff is on the left, and all the big stuff is on the right.
The upshot of this process also guarantees that one element will be placed in the correct location (because everything to the left of it will be smaller, and everything to the right will be bigger, so it must be in the right position). That value is called the pivot. The first step of quicksort is to ensure the pivot is in the right place.
The way we do this is by selecting a random element to be our pivot - the item we wan to put into it's correct place. For this simple example we'll just use the last number (3). The pivot is our comparison value.
Once we have selected our pivot/comparison value, we then monitor the left-most element (1), and the right-most element (3). We'll call these the left-pointer and the right-pointer. The left-pointers job is to slide towards the middle of the array, stopping when it finds something that is larger than the pivot. The right pointer does the same thing, but it slides inward looking for values less than the pivot. In code:
while (true) {
    while (array[++left] < pivot);
    while (array[--right] > pivot) if (left == right) break;

    if (left >= right) break;           // If the pointers meet then exit the loop
    swap(array[left], array[right]);    // Swap the values otherwise.
}

So in our example above, when the left-pointer hits (4) it recognizes that that is higher than our pivot element and stops moving. The right pivot does the same thing from the right side, but stops when it hits (2) because that's lower than the pivot. When both sides stop, we do a swap, so we end up with:
[1, 2, 5, 4, 3]

Notice that we are getting closer to sorted. We continue to move both pointers inward until they both point to the same element, or they cross - whichever comes first. When that happens, we make one final step, which is to replace the pivot element (3) with whatever point the left/right-pointers are pointing to, which in this case would be (5) because they would both stop right in the middle. Then we swap, so that we get:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
(Notice that we swap the original pivot (3) with the value pointed to by both sides (5))

This whole process is called a partition. In code it looks like this:
int partition(int *array, int lBound, int rBound) {
    int pivot = array[rBound];          // Use the last element as a pivot
    int left = lBound - 1;              // Point to one before the first element
    int right = rBound;             // Point to the last element;

    // We'll break out of the loop explicity
    while (true) {

        while (array[++left] < pivot);
        while (array[--right] > pivot) if (left == right) break;

        if (left >= right) break;    // If the pointers meet then exit the loop
        swap(array[left], array[right]);    // Swap the pointers otherwise.
    }

    swap(array[left], array[rBound]);   // Move the pivot item into its correct place
    return left;    // The left element is now in the right place
}

It's important to note that although the partition step fully sorted our array in this example, that's not ordinarily the point of the partition step. The point of the paritition step is to put one element into it's correct place, and to ensure that everything left of that element is less and everything to the right is more. Or in other words, to move the pivot value into its correct location and then guarantee that everything left of the pivot is smaller than it, and everything to the right is bigger. So although in this example the array was completely sorted, in general we can only guarantee that one item and one item only is in the correct location (and everything to the left and right is bigger/smaller respectively). This is why the partition method above returns left, because it tells the calling function that this one element is in the correct location (and the array has been correctly partitioned).
That is if we start with an array like:
[1, 7, 5, 4, 2, 9, 3]

Then the partition step would return something like this:
[1, 3, 2, [4], 7, 5, 9]

Where [4] is the only value guaranteed to be in the right place, but everything to the left is smaller than [4] and everything to the right is bigger (though not necessarily sorted!).
The second step is to perform this step recursively. That is, if we can put one element into it's correct location, then we should be able to eventually put all items into their correct location. That is the quicksort function. In code:
int *quicksort(int *array, int lBound, int rBound) {
    if (lBound >= rBound) return array;   // If the array is size 1 or less - return.

    int pivot = partition(array, lBound, rBound);   // Split the array in two.
    quicksort(array, lBound, pivot - 1);    // Sort the left size. (Recursive)
    quicksort(array, pivot + 1, rBound);    // Sort the right side. (Recursive)

    return array;
}

Notice that the first step is to ensure that we have an array side of at least 2. It doesn't make sense to process anything smaller than that so we return if that condition isn't met. The next step is to call our partition function which will split the array according to the process outlined above. Once we know that the array has one element that is in correct position, we simply call quicksort again, but this time on the left side of the pivot, and then again on the right side of the pivot. Notice we don't include the pivot because the partition is guaranteed to put that into the correct location!
If we continue to call quicksort recursively, eventually we'll halve the array and partition it until we get arrays of size-one (which by definition is already sorted). So we partition, then halve, partition, halve, etc. until the entire array is sorted (in place). This gives us a sort in O(n lg(n)) time. Cool!
Here's a quick example of it's use:
int main() {
    int array [] {1, 0, 2, 9, 3, 8, 4, 7, 5, 6};

    quicksort(array, 0, 9); // Sort from zero to 9.

    // Display the results
    for (int index = 0; index != 10; ++index) {
        cout << array[index] << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

A good visual demonstration can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5nSXTnD1I4

A: Steps 1 and 2 are indeed the first steps of a correct solution.  Once you know the smallest and largest elements, though, the median oracle is a comparison oracle; if you want to compare a[i] with a[j], then a[i] < a[j] exactly when a[i] = median(a[i], a[j], a[0]) where a[0] is the smallest element.  So you can run straight quicksort or mergesort or whathaveyou.

But she crunched the numbers based on zillo.com's numbers, and yes, with a current mortgage balance of $95K, I'm below the 78% threshold to jettison mortgage insurance--barely.
If the loan officer you talked to specifically said 78% was the threshold on a new conventional mortgage, you need to get a different lender, because she apparently doesn't know the rules she should. If she just talked about the threshold to not have PMI, and you assumed it was 78%, you need to read the paragraph above enough times so that you understand what the requirements are for the different circumstances - getting a new loan vs. dropping PMI from a loan that was issued with PMI.
So with that, she quoted me an interest rate of 3% on a 15-year fixed loan.
She also said, as others did here on this board, that if the appraisal came in such that I was just barely over that 78% threshold that I could put the little bit on a credit card or somesuch and pay it off with that forty bucks a month savings.
Or you could pay the extra closing costs from you savings.
So I'd like the board's opinions on all of that, please and thank you.
If you are looking for 'payment savings', you should look at 30 year mortgages. If you are looking at wanting to have your loan paid off in a certain timeframe, then you should look at loans with a length to match that timeframe. In either case, you need to check with more than just your current lender, because it does not appear that they are offering you competitive rates.

Alex O'Loughlin's Guide to Moonlight – Episode 12
Moonlight Episode 12
– The Mortal Cure –
Written by: Chip Johannessen
Directed by: Eric Laneuville
Beth discovers that Josh was getting ready to propose to her. Meanwhile, Mick learns that Coraline is still alive but is a vampire again. She tells him about a cure and, in fact, administers it to Mick before she is whisked away by a powerful vampire, leaving a very human Mick behind.
Notes O'Loughlin, "Mick has been obsessed with a cure; the fact that there's a way out. You know, there's an important moment in episode seven when Josef says to Mick, 'You've got to stop hating what you are. Accept it.' And Mick doesn't. Well, he does, but he lives in this controlled denial. He's not a stereotypical vampire. He's a reluctant vampire. In this episode he's cured and he remembers how painful it is to be human. And there's a gap between Mick and Beth, Coraline's gone and we don't know what's going to happen to Mick. It was a pretty exciting place to leave us when the Writer's Guild strike happened."

In our body's skin, Rete Pegs are the epithelial extensions that project into the underlying connective tissue, which help to hold the epidermis to the dermis.
In our body's skin, Sebaceous Glands are small, sacculated organs (sack-shaped glands) found within the dermis (dermal layer) which secrete sebum.
In our body, the ducts from most Sebaceous Glands release an oily substance into the hair follicles which coats and protects the hair shaft that help the hair follicle from becoming brittle, other ducts open on the general surface of the skin.
In and on our body's skin, Sweat Glands, as exocrine glands, are the sweat-producing structures embedded in the skins dermis (dermal layer).
In our body, each Sweat Gland consists of a single tube, a coiled body, and a superficial duct.
In our body's integumentary system, Dry Skin (Xerosis Cutis) describes the rough, scaly and flaky skin that is dry to the touch with less elasticity than normal healthy skin.

The Apps You Should Download to Your iPhone 4S
Casey Chan
The iPhone 4S! If you were lucky enough to grab one, congratulations! You now have a brand spanking new phone, a new friend in Siri and a desperate need for some apps. Here are our favorite iPhone apps this week.
If you want to see all the apps on one page click here.
The iPhone 4S! If you were lucky enough to grab one, congratulations! You now have a brand spanking
Find My Friends: Find My Friends, Apple's your-friends-are-now-live-dots-on-a-map social network, is here. The new location service eschews boring check-ins for convenient (and creepy) continuous sharing of your location. The app keeps track of where all your friends (opt-in, obvi) are in real time, which is kind of scary yet kind of exciting at the same time. Is Sam in your neighborhood? Is Adrian across the country? Find my friends will tell you. Check out our etiquette guide on how to use Find My Friends so you don't be a creepy stalker.
Movie Trailers: Apple's "iTunes Movie Trailers" app is one hell of a misnomer: it doesn't just beam down the giant library of trailers we love. The new app lets you buy tickets, find nearby theaters, and chart film releases on a calendar. I'm using this over other movie finding apps now. Free
Cards: Yeah, Apple made this app for old people but there are 21 different card layouts where you can write a quick short message to your heart's desire and add a picture (one in your camera roll or snap a new shot). Cards guides you step by step to fill out the proper information (put a picture here, add a title here, sign there, etc.). The iPhone feels a little bit cramped to do all this work (there's no iPad version oddly) but whatever, it takes 2 seconds to whip up something that'll make someone feel good. And I don't hate this app as much as I thought I would
Scribblenauts Remix: Scribblenauts is impressive as it was on the DS, you write a noun into the game and then the object you wrote appears in the game where you can use it or if it has half a brain (like an animal), will start playing around in the world too. 40 levels and non stop fun. So good. $5
Foursquare: Thanks to iOS 5, Foursquare has a new Radar feature in its iPhone app that's insanely cool. Radar will smartly let you know if you're near friends, around a place on your To-Do List or followed and will even notify you when the app is closed. It's like a super useful Find My Friends. Free.
Airport Utility: Controlling your wireless network no longer requires a computer. Apple's dropped another app surprise this morning: an iOS Airport Utility. Change your passwords, reset your routers, update firmware-all in your hand. This computer-less computing thing is fun.The app also gives you a very pretty little visualization of your entire network-something the desktop client's totally lacking, and which not only looks nice, but can be helpful for those of you managing larger setups.
Real Racing 2: Real Racing 2 got a new update for iOS 5 that's actually pretty sweet: you can play the game wirelessly on your TV with AirPlay and even challenge friends to a multiplayer race with Party Play. Ah-mazing.
NHL Gamecenter: Did you know hockey started? I didn't either. The season always sneaks up on me! But what doesn't sneak up on me is the NHL Gamecenter app. It's the best way to keep track of the NHL season with live scores for every game, tv listings, standings, news articles, etc. If you upgrade to the premium Gamecenter app than you'll get live radio broadcasts, video highlights and more, more videos. If you have a GameCenter Live subscription, you can watch all the hockey games on your iPhone too.
Hipster: It's sorta like Instagram meshed with Cards but not really. It's kind of like Instagram because you can use filters to snazz up your photos. It's kind of like Cards because you use those photos to create virtual postcards. There are 10 different postcard styles along with the ability to add text and tag your location to the postcard. Neato.
You can keep up with Casey Chan, the author of this post, on Twitter or Facebook.

The only luck needed to grab an iPhone 4S this week was being able to afford it. I walked into the Santa Clara Apple Store (closest one to Cupertino besides the company store), stood online for 5 minutes, walked out with a 64GB Black AT&T iPhone 4S, with my contacts already pulled down off iCloud...

It is the most basic type of stepper motor. Thus helps to explain the principle of operation of the stepper motors.
The coils wound around diametrically opposite poles are connected in series and the three phases are energized from a d.c. source with the help of switches.
The basic driving circuit is shown in the Fig. 2.
The operation is based on various reluctance positions of rotor with respect to stator. When any one phase of the stator is excited, it produces its magnetic field whose axis lies along the poles, the phase around which is excited. Then rotor moves in such a direction so as to achieve minimum reluctance position. Such a position means a position where axis of magnetic field of stator matches with the axis passing through any two poles of the rotor. Let us see the operation when phases A, B and C are energized in sequence one after the other, with the help of switches SW1, SW2 and SW3.
1. When the phase AA' is excited with the switch SW1 closed, then stator magnetic axis exists along the poles formed due to AA' i.e. vertical. Then rotor adjusts itself in a minimum reluctance position i.e. matching its own axis passing through the two poles exactly with stator magnetic axis. This position is shown in the Fig. 3(a).
2. When the phase BB' is excited with the switch SW2 closed and phase AA' de-energized with the switch SW1 open, then stator magnetic axis shifts along the poles formed due to BB;, shown dotted in the Fig. 3(b). Then rotor tries to align in the minimum reluctance position and turns through 30o in anticlockwise direction. So axis passing through two diagonally opposite poles of rotor matches with the stator magnetic axis. This is the new minimum reluctance position. The point P shown on the rotor has rotated through 30o in anticlockwise direction as shown in the Fig. 3(b).
3. When the phase CC' is excited with the switch SW3 closed and the phases AA' and BB' are de-energized, then the stator magnetic axis shifts along the poles formed due to CC', shown dotted in the Fig. 3(c). Then to achieve minimum reluctance position, rotor gets subjected to further anticlockwise torque. So it turns through further 30o in anticlockwise direction.
Hence point P is now at 60o from its starting position, in anticlockwise direction as shown in the Fig. 3(c). By successively exciting the three phases in the specific sequecnce, the motor takes twelve steps to complete on revolution.
where L is the inductance of the relevant phase at an angle θ.
Since the torque is proportional to the torque of the phase current (T α i2), it is independent of the direction of i. The direction of rotation is totally decided from the sequence in which the phases are excited.
i) The rotor can be moved in a specific direction, by exciting the stator phases in a specific sequence.
ii) When the phases are excited in the sequence A-B-C-A ...., the rotor moves in the anticlockwise direction, as explained earlier.
iii) When the phases are excited in the sequence C-B-A-C ..., the rotor moves in the clockwise direction, which can be easily verified.
iv) The distance through which the rotor moves when all three phases are excited once is called one rotor tooth pitch.
In the above discussion we have assumed that the windings are excited one at a time. If the two phases are excited simultaneously i.e. keeping AA' excited, the BB' is also excited with switch SW1 and SW2 closed, then the stator magnetic axis shifts to a mid position rather than along BB'. Hence rotor gets aligned along this moves through a half step i.e. 15o.
A logical extension of this technique is to control the currents in the phase windings so that several stable equilibrium positions are created. Normally the step angle is reduced by factor of 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/16 or 1/32. This technique is called microstepping.
Fig. 4 shows a reduction gear stepper motor. The stator has 8 salient poles and four phases for use as exciting winding. The rotor has 18 teeth and 18 slots uniformly distributed around. Each salient pole of the stator consists of two teeth, forming an interleaving slot of the same angular periphery as the rotor teeth or slots. When the coil A-A' is excited, the resulting electromechanical torque brings the rotor to the position as shown in the Fig. 4.
By choosing different combinations of number of rotor teeth and stator phases, any desired step angle can be achieved.
As mentioned earlier, these are used to obtain small step size, typically ranging between 2 to 15o.
In a m stack motor, the motor is divided into a m number of magnetically isolated sections called stacks, along its axial length. The m stacks of stator have a common frame while the rotors are mounted on a common shaft. The stators and rotors have the same number of poles (teeth). The stator poles in all m stacks are aligned while the rotor poles are shifted by (1/m) of the pole pitch from one another. All the stator windings in a stator stack are excited simultaneously hence each stator stack forms a phase. So number of stator phases is equal to number of stator stacks. Generally three stack stepper motors are used. The Fig. f shows the arrangement in three stack stepper motor alongwith shifting of the rotor poles by (1/3) of the pole pitch from one another.
The Fig. 6 shows the cross sectional view of a three stack, three phase variable reluctance motor. In each stack, the stator and rotor laminations have 12 poles. The poles of the stator are in one line while the rotor poles are offset from each other by one third of the pole pitch.
The various windings in one stack are energized simultaneously. When phase A of stator is excited then rotor poles of stack A get aligned with the stator poles. But due to offset, rotor poles of stack B and C do not align. Now if phase A is de-energized and phase B is energized, rotor poles of stack B get aligned with the stator poles. Thus, rotor moves by one third of pole pitch. When B is de-energized and C excited, rotor further moves by one third of pole pitch so that rotor poles of stack C get aligned with the stator poles.
An alternative design where the rotor stacks are aligned and stator stacks are offset also is used in practice.
The variable reluctance stepper motor has following advantages.
2. High rates of acceleration.
5. Efficient cooling arrangement as all the windings are on stator and there is no winding on rotor.


It's that time again: SecondLife has another birthday. SL is now 11. We celebrate that with a community celebration. There are 11 sims, of course, with lots and lots of exhibitors – I think I will be one next year; I could show off Binemist. There will be talks at the Auditorium, live performances on the Cake stage and on the Live Stage, and there is a DJ stage. There should be something for everyone, so go and explore and experience all of it.
You'll find the Auditorium on SL11B Fascinate. The Schedule is full over interesting topics. I wish I could go and hear all of them, but alas SL is not a full time thing for me, but I have my eye on a few talks I want to hear.
The Cake Stage can be found on SL11B Astound. There seems to be both live performers and DJs there. You can find the full schedule here. The design is very futuristic and I met Dev on the platform going to the stage. We had a nice talk. SL11B is also a great place to meet people.
The Live Stage is all about live performances, and you can find it on SL11B Astonish. Lots of great artists are performing, and I see a few of my friends on the list too. Can't wait to see them again.
The DJ Stage can be found on SL11B Impressive. It looks like a space ship landed in the desert and established themselves in the caves there. Amazing space.


As the world becomes more environmentally aware, people have been increasing their efforts to protect the environment – starting at home. If you've been doing your bit to recycle your cans and plastics, cycling to work and making more of an effort to reuse your shopping bags, you're already doing well, but what more can be done?
Although tumble dryers can be extremely convenient when you need your clothes dry in a hurry, they can also waste a lot of energy. The filters are meant to be cleaned after every use, but everyone has forgotten once or twice… Clear out any lint that has gathered in the filter, then pour a little water on the filter screen to see if the water passes through. If it doesn't and pools on top of the filter, your filter needs a thorough cleaning. Give it a good scrubbing in soapy, warm water, then rinse it off and try pouring a little water through again. If it still pools a little, repeat your soap-water attack on the filter!
To make sure you can reach all of the dirt at the back of your fridge coils, it's a good idea to get yourself a refrigerator coil brush. Take the opportunity to sweep the floor too! Then, pop everything back in place. Be sure to wear gloves, and be careful when moving your fridge — if it's too heavy, ask for help moving it.
Starting off with the easiest tip, you can save energy simply by turning down your wash by 10 degrees.
There are so many ways to make your household appliances more eco-friendly without spending a thing! You don't actually have to spend anything at all to start running a more eco-friendly home. Take these tips on board and your home and workspace can be its greenest. When the time does come to replace your older appliances, be sure to keep in mind whether or not it is energy efficient.

NSX supports three different types of Routing Protocols: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border, Border Gateway Patrol (BGP), and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS). While all three are supported, the Distributed Logical Router (DLR) can only use OSPF and BGP, while the Edge Services Gateway (ESG) can use all three.
Let's start with OSPF. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that collects link state information from all available routes and creates a map of the network topology. OSPF makes routing decisions based on the destination IP address in the packet and uses a dynamic process of traffic load balancing between routes of equal cost. OSPF networks are divided into areas. A router can be a part of multiple areas, as long as one of the areas is 0, or the backbone area. An area is defined as a logical collection of OSPF networks/routers/links that are all defined by the same area ID. When configuring OSPF, you will also need to define both a Forwarding Address and a Protocol Address. A forwarding address is used by the router to.. well.. forward packets. A protocol address is a unique IP (same subnet as the forwarding address) and is used by OSPF to for adjacency with peers. Let's configure OSPF!
Step 1. Log into the vSphere Web Client and navigate to Networking & Security -> NSX Edges and double click the Edge that for which you would like to configure OSPF.
Step 5. Click the + sign under Area Definitions to add a new Area. Specify the AREA ID and hit OK. (Optionally, you can configure the Authentication and Type).
Step 8. Log into your ESG via SSH, and run the following command to confirm the devices are neighbors.
The E2 by 172.16.20.0/24 means it was learned from OSPF.
BGP is a used for a different purpose than OSPF. As mentioned OSPF is more of an interior gateway protocol, BGP however, is an perimeter gateway protocol; It is used as the edge of your network. BGP constructs a routing table of networks reachable among Autonomous Systems (AS) number defined by the user. Each router will have a Local AS defined, as well as a remote AS defined for it's neighbor. A connection between both gateways is established first, and then routing information is exchanged between the two devices.
Step 1. Log into the vSphere Web Client and navigate to Networking & Security -> NSX Edges and double click the Edge that for which you would like to configure BGP.
Note: Again, if you are configuring multiple Edge devices for BGP, you will need to follow the same steps above for the remote BGP device.
You can run the same commands above, substituting OSPF for BGP to confirm the neighbor relationship and routes.
Routes learned from BGP will show a B next to them.
The last routing protocol that you can use in NSX, is IS-IS. This protocol can only be used on ESGs not on DLRs. IS-IS is used to move data through the best route in a Packet-switched network. Much like OSPF, IS-IS associates routers into areas. There are two levels of areas Level 1 and Level 2. A Level 1 area advertises intra-area route information while a Level 2 area advertises inter-area route information. If you were comparing OSPF to IS-IS you could say that the Level 1 area is a non backbone area while the Level 2 area is a backbone area.
Step 1. Log into the vSphere Web Client and navigate to Networking & Security -> NSX Edges and double click the Edge that for which you would like to configure IS-IS.
The commands to view the configuration and neighbors is slightly different.


which was discovered in northwestern China. The bird lived at the same time as the dinosaurs.
The finding is amazing because fully formed eggs typically only stay within an adult mom bird for about a day, according to Science magazine.
Overall, the scientists said this fossil is more information about ancient reproduction than any other Mesozoic fossil bird yet discovered.
As for the species name, it means mother bird (Avimaia) and also honors paleontologist Mary Schweitzer (Switzerland).

Launch of AFMC Doctors Choice Health Plans
Former US HHS Secretary Dr. Tom Price to Speak in Phoenix for Launch of AFMC Doctors Choice Health Plans
Dr. Tom Price joins with the Arizona Foundation and AHPA to announce the introduction of lower cost association health plans exclusively for Arizona medical professionals
February 13, 2020 – Phoenix, Arizona – Tom Price, MD, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, U.S. Representative from the 6th Congressional District, and orthopaedic surgeon, will speak on February 26th and 27th at an event to launch AFMC Doctors Choice health plans for the Arizona medical community.
AFMC Doctors Choice health plans, beginning open enrollment February 1st will be offered by AHPA (American Health Plans Association) and endorsed by the Arizona Foundation, a preferred-provider organization with over 17,000 medical provider members.
Association Health Plans (AHPs), such as AFMC Doctors Choice, are possible through groundbreaking Federal regulation changes supported by Dr. Price during his tenure as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services for President Donald J. Trump. The new rules allow industry groups to aggregate their purchasing power resulting in lower cost high quality health plan coverage.
AFMC Doctors Choice is available exclusively to Arizona medical professionals, including medical, surgical, dental, chiropractic, physical therapy, medical technicians, and other medical professional practices and their employees. Doctors Choice is targeted to small to mid-sized businesses that would like to offer health benefits to their employees, but think they can't afford it. Our national research shows that only about 50% of the United States' 30 million small businesses offer health benefits – almost 100% wish they could. It is the number one benefit among all employees, everywhere.
"It's a tremendous honor for us to host Secretary Price at our launch event in Phoenix," said Tracy Mitchell, Executive Vice President, Arizona Foundation. "We believe the association health plan regulation that Secretary Price authored in Congress is a game-changer for the medical community, and we're very excited about the availability of AFMC Doctors Choice health plans that the Arizona Foundation fully endorses."
"From the very beginning, we saw the tremendous potential of association health plans like AFMC Doctors Choice," said Mike Dendy, President and CEO of CarynHealth. "AHPs were envisioned by Dr. Tom Price for the express purpose of bringing high value, lower cost plans to the small and mid-sized employers that need them most, and we are launching here in Arizona, through AHPA ".
About Secretary Tom Price
Dr. Thomas E. Price, an orthopaedic surgeon, most recently served as the 23rd Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). He brought to the Department a lifetime of service and a dedication to advancing the quality of health care in America – both as a physician and policymaker. As a U.S. Representative for Georgia's 6th Congressional District from 2005 to 2017, Dr. Price served in various leadership roles in the U.S. House of Representatives, including Chairman of the House Budget Committee, Chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, and Chairman of the Republican Study Committee.
About the Arizona Foundation

Mission Accomplished, China's Massive Military Exercise Around Taiwan Ends
byFrank Johnson - 12 August
China's Massive Military Exercise Around Taiwan Ends
Beijing - China has announced an unprecedented end to military exercises around Taiwan. The military exercise was launched after the controversial visit of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taipei.
Quoted from the Global Times, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) said it had successfully completed various missions during a recent exercise around the island of Taiwan and effectively tested the combat capacity of joint operations of the forces.
Eastern Theater Command spokesman Colonel Shi Yi said China said it would continue military training and preparations, and organize patrols in the Taiwan Strait to firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The announcement came shortly after Beijing released the White Paper refusing to rule out the use of force in its bid to unite Taiwan with the mainland, noting, however, that it would fight for peaceful unification.
"We will work with the greatest sincerity and put forth our best efforts to achieve peaceful reunification. But we will not abandon the use of force, and we have the option to take all necessary measures," the document reads as quoted by Russia Today, Thursday (11/8/2022).
Beijing noted that this possibility was necessary to prevent external interference and separatist activities and accused anti-China forces in the US of deliberately increasing tensions between China and Taiwan.
Last week, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a controversial visit to the self-governing island despite protests from the Chinese government. In response, Beijing launched unprecedented military drills and live-fire drills in six maritime areas around Taiwan.
The maneuvers included simulated island "blockades", as well as amphibious strikes and ground target strikes, according to China's Ministry of Defense.
China regards Taiwan as an inalienable part of its territory and views visits such as Pelosi's as an attack on its sovereignty and a violation of the 'One China' principle, which most countries refrain from diplomatic recognition of Taiwan.

The Reporter Who Knew Too Much: The Mysterious Death of What's My Line TV Star and Media Icon Dorothy Kilgallen
By Mark Shaw
On November 8, 1965, millions of fans of What's My Line? CBS television star, Pulitzer Prize-nominated columnist and crack investigative reporter Dorothy Kilgallen were shocked when she was found dead in her NYC townhouse. The autopsy report concluded she accidentally died of an "Acute Ethanol and Barbiturate Intoxication: Circumstances Undetermined."
Despite an apparently staged death scene, no police investigation followed even though friends believed the courageous media icon was murdered. Afraid to speak out, they remained silent about Kilgallen, a gifted wordsmith who broke the "glass ceiling" by succeeding in a man's world.
In The Reporter Who Knew Too Much, fresh evidence including explosive never-before-seen videotaped interviews provides motives to help identify who may have silenced her, and why. Suspects include arch-enemy Frank Sinatra, those threatened by her 18-month JFK assassination investigation, and a "mystery man" connected to the Mafia who might have betrayed Kilgallen.
A true Renaissance woman, Kilgallen was known as "The Most Powerful Voice In America." She once wrote, "Justice is a big rug; when you pull it out from under one man, a lot of others fall too." But, as author Mark Shaw reveals in this true crime, "whodunit" mystery, Kilgallen was denied justice. Until now.

Netflix Chief Ted Sarandos on Bill Cosby Special: 'I Don't Think it's Appropriate to Release That'
TCA 2015: Olsen twins "teetering" on "Full House" revival appearance, says streaming service's head of originals
Daniel Holloway | July 28, 2015 @ 9:25 AM	Last Updated: July 28, 2015 @ 1:05 PM
Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sr
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said that the company has no plans to release a stand-up comedy special starring Bill Cosby that was shelved as the comic's sexual-assault scandal blew up late last year.
"I don't think it's appropriate to release that," Sarandos said when speaking to a group of reporters immediately following his executive session at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour.
Sarandos differentiated that decision from Netflix's continued offering of "The Cosby Show" via the company's DVD by mail service.

"'The Cosby Show' is produced by NBC and is owned by Carsey-Werner," he said. "The other projects before were actually produced by Netflix and branded Netflix shows. We think we have continued to act appropriately when it comes to Mr. Cosby."
During his session, Sarandos was asked about Netflix's upcoming "Full House" revival series "Fuller House." He said that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, the original cast members who have not been announced to appear on the new series, "are teetering whether or not they'll be around" for "Fuller House."
Sarandos walked that comment back a bit after the session, saying, "There's a bunch of stunt [casting] opportunities with them for the future if they want to." The revival's producer, Robert L. Boyett, had announced in May that the Olsens would not appear on the new show. When asked if the actress' status in relation to the show had changed since that time, Sarandos said, "No, I don't believe so. They're not in the current creative."

In the wake of poor domestic box office numbers for Adam Sandler's latest movie "Pixels," Sarandos expressed continued confidence in Netflix's decision last year to cut a multi-film deal with the comedic actor and producer.
"I don't have to defend Adam Sandler," Sarandos said, citing "Pixels'" $24 million international premiere as proof of Sandler's enduring value. "We did our deal with Adam Sandler because he's an enormous international movie star."
On Netflix's Marvel-produced superhero series, Sarandos left the door open when asked post-session if the Punisher, scheduled to appear in Season 2 of "Daredevil," would get his own spinoff show. "It is possible, for sure," he said. "That's the beauty of the Marvel universe." He added that any of the four characters the company has planned or existing individual series for — Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist, who will then cross over into group series "The Defenders" — "could spin off into films, too." During his session, Sarandos said that the company plans to release a new season of an original Marvel show every six months.
Sarandos continued to refuse discussing specific viewership numbers for Netflix's original series, though he claimed that "Orange is the New Black" is the most watched show on television. Asked whether it is Netflix's most watched show, Sarandos referred to his earlier claim and said "by default it would be."
During Sarandos' session, Netflix announced an upcoming documentary, "Keith Richards: Under the Influence," about Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, to premiere Sept. 18. The company also renewed animated comedy "BoJack Horseman" for a third season and set premiere dates for the upcoming season of "Longmire" (Sept. 10) and Aziz Ansari's new comedy series "Master of None" (Nov. 6).
'Wet Hot American Summer' Netflix Series First Look: Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd Return to Camp (Photos)

Home Mining Bitcoin's Price Is Not the Only Risk to Riot Blockchain
Bitcoin's Price Is Not the Only Risk to Riot Blockchain
InvestorPlace – Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Less than four years ago, Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT) was a failed animal health company named Bioptix. What is now RIOT stock was then BIOP stock — and it traded for less than $4 per share.
Source: Mark Agnor / Shutterstock.com
That wasn't because investors put much value on the business: Bioptix in fact had more than $2 per share in cash at the end of 2017's second quarter. BIOP was basically just another penny stock in the biotech space.
But in October of that year, Bioptix rebranded to Riot Blockchain. It was a move that invited a huge rally — and quite a bit of skepticism.
Blockchain and other cryptocurrencies were hot then, with Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) at one point rising from $900 to $20,000 during 2017. Riot was not alone in moving into crypto and blockchain: Eastman Kodak (NYSE:KODK) infamously was involved in a "KodakCoin" project which never came to fruition. That didn't stop KODK stock from soaring.
Overstock (NASDAQ:OSTK) launched tZERO. Other penny stocks like MGT Digital (OTCMKTS:MGTI) tried their own pivots, usually with little success.
Riot's own move was met with some skepticism. And as Bitcoin crashed in 2018, so too did RIOT stock. It would fall 80% in a matter of months.
Yet even skeptics (myself included) have to give credit where credit is due. Riot's pivot into crypto mining, even during the 2018 bust, laid the seeds for a massive rally of late.
That rally can continue — if the Bitcoin price cooperates. But even if it does, there's one more key factor that investors need to keep in mind.
The Case for RIOT Stock
Particularly for Bitcoin bulls, there's an attractive case for RIOT stock.
Broadly speaking, RIOT should provide leverage to the Bitcoin price. That's how miners work — whether it's gold, silver, or cryptocurrency. As Bitcoin rises, Riot Blockchain's revenue increases — but its costs, outside of taxes and management compensation, remain largely the same.
If Bitcoin rallies, RIOT stock should rally faster. Indeed, we've seen precisely that play out so far in 2021. Even with both the crypto and the miner seeing declines of late, RIOT's 210% year-to-date gain is more than triple the 60% move in Bitcoin.
Of course, that broad case applies to other mining stocks as well. Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:MARA) and Bit Digital (NASDAQ:BTBT) offer roughly the same leverage.
But Riot Blockchain seems to have the lead in terms of capacity. Bit Digital has cited a hash rate of 2.2 EH/s (exahashes per second). Marathon projects roughly 1.4 EH/s by the end of this month.
Riot believes that once its orders are fulfilled, it can get to 3.8 EH/s. More mining power should mean more crypto. That in turn suggests more revenue and, in theory, a higher RIOT stock price.
What Goes Wrong
There are three broad risks.
First, and most obviously, Bitcoin tanks. It's important to remember that RIOT stock provides leverage to the Bitcoin price — in both directions. This, too, we've seen so far in 2021.
From its highs on March 13, BTC has pulled back 3%. From its close the day before, RIOT is off 15%. That's not market manipulation or "weak hands" selling — it's how the fundamentals of mining stocks work. Leverage is a double-edged sword.
Second, there's still the question of what, exactly, Riot Blockchain is going to do with the proceeds from its mining. For now, it's holding crypto on its balance sheet. (As an aside, that strategy only increases the stock's leverage to BTC. Not only do earnings rise and fall with the underlying crypto, so does the value of Riot's assets.) The company no doubt wants to preserve resources to purchase more miners going forward.
But does Riot initiative a dividend at some point? Does it increase its 12% stake in exchange Coinsquare? Look elsewhere in the industry? An investor who owns Bitcoin directly obviously has far more control over buying and selling decisions than does an investor with a stake in Riot's Bitcoin mining efforts and Bitcoin ownership. She has to trust Riot management.
The Difficulty Rate
Finally, there's the difficulty rate. Riot's current production looks impressive. In February alone, it mined 179 Bitcoin, worth over $9 million at current prices. Mining rig deliveries should triple current capacity.
There's a big catch, though. Bitcoin's design makes it harder and harder to mine the coin as we head toward the cap of 21 million. (That cap is its own modest concern: there are only about 2.5 million Bitcoins left to be mined.)
A higher difficulty rate essentially means the same number of Bitcoin is mined even with more mining power. And so, RIOT bulls looking for significant, if not exponential, growth in the monthly mining statistics may well be disappointed.
There's a near-term problem as well. As Riot Blockchain itself notes, the current shortage of mining equipment (Riot's own orders won't be completely filled until October) is lowering the difficulty rate.
Once rigs are delivered and installed, there's going to be far more mining power, yet not necessarily far more Bitcoins being mined.
To use a gold mining analogy, Riot is going to move quickly to lower grades, which require more effort for the same end results. That in turn means that the leverage bulls are looking for simply may not be there.
To be fair, that doesn't mean RIOT stock won't be able to outperform Bitcoin, or even that RIOT stock is a sell at this point. For crypto bulls, it's probably the best mining stock out there.
What it does mean, however, is that the bull case is more, well, difficult than it might appear at first glance. At the least, expectations need to be tempered.

Couple Arrested in Alicante for Forcing Disabled People to Beg
By Alex Glenn • 11 May 2021 • 11:24
Couple Arrested in Alicante for Forcing Disabled People to Beg Credit: National Police
Couple Arrested in Alicante for Forcing Disabled People to Beg.
A couple have been arrested in Alicante for forcing disabled people to beg for them under the threat of violence. The disabled victims were threatened that they would be left without food if they did not beg for the couple and bring in a minimum amount of money each day.
Alicante's National police have arrested two people age 48 and 51 years-old who are believed to be married and had been allegedly recruiting disabled people to beg for them throughout Alicante. The victims were deprived of their documents and all the money that was collected each day was taken by their alleged "captors".
If sufficient money was not obtained each day through begging, then food and cleanliness essentials would be withheld from the victims who are expected to beg each day for 14 hours.
Authorities were alerted of the crimes when one of the victims came forward after having been exploited for over two years. Unfortunately, the victim had not contacted the National Police previously as they were not very knowledgeable about Spanish law. According to the police two people have now been arrested and charged with the crime of trafficking in human beings for the purpose of exploitation for begging.
Police arrested the couple who had been living in Spain since 2007 and had been profiting from their exploitation of disabled people. They had been living on money which their victims had obtained by begging.
The victims were said to have been living in inhuman conditions and controlled by threats of violence including being threatened with death. Also their documents had been taken away from them to prevent them from leaving. One of the victims had even overheard that their captors had planned to sell them on for 2000 euros.
According to Europa Press "The detainees, with an extensive criminal record for crimes against persons, were placed at the disposal of the Examining Magistrate's Court in the town of Alicante."

#FACTS There are more than 600 varieties of potatoes sold throughout the United States.
Each of these varieties fit into one of seven potato type categories: russet, red, white, yellow, blue/purple, fingerling and petite. Fingerling color and shape are a welcome visual addition to any dish. Pan-frying and roasting enhance their robust flavor and showcase their wonderful nutty or buttery tastes. Consider fingerlings as a change-of-pace foundation for a unique potato salad. Split fingerlings lengthwise and oven-roast to serve as a small-plate or side-dish alternative to fries, with a flavor dipping sauce, like spicy ketchup, romesco, or sriracha mayo.
STEP 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. You will bake them for 40-45 mins. or until the potatoes have browned on the bottom. Make sure to cook on the middle rack. Don't cook on bottom rack or they might burn.
STEP 2. Wash your potatoes then cut them in half lenghtwise. Cut the tips off the onion then cut it in half and remove the skin, then slice about 1/4″ thick. You can use a red onion if you prefer.
STEP 3. Drizzle 2 tbsp oil over the potatoes and mix well with salt and pepper so the oil coat the potatoes evenly. Let sit in the bowl for about 10 minutes to let the flavors release a bit before cooking.
STEP 4. Drizzle a little extra oil in your baking dish. Now here is the trick to get them nice and crispy: lay them flat on the cut side of the potatoes. DONT FLIP OR MIX THEM AFTER YOU START COOKING THEM!!! You want the potatoes to crisp on the bottom.
STEP 5. Next, roughly spread the onions on top and Place in your oven, set timer for 35 minutes, then check on them. Cook 10 more mins or until browned!
STEP 6. Take a spatula out to remove them from the baking dish and Voila – crispy, full of flavor, and delicious roasted fingerling potatoes. Chop up a little parsley and sprinkle on top for a little garnish!

He made his debut for Port Adelaide in Round Seven 2013, against Richmond. He had a solid Finals series in 2013, providing trustworthy disposals off half back against Collingwood and Geelong.

Colquhoun had a tough 2014. He struggled for game time in the pre-season and was left out of the round one team. He then played a handful of games for the Magpies before injuring his knee and requiring a full reconstruction ending his season.

After recovering from a knee reconstruction in 2014, Sam had a solid year in 2015, playing 6 games at AFL level and showing his consistency at SANFL level. He played 14 games at SANFL level, averaging 21 touches and 3 tackles a game. He was promoted to the AFL lineup against Geelong and played 6 of the next 8 matches. His best games came against Sydney and Carlton, before heading back to the SANFL for the finals.

Colquhoun was delisted at the conclusion of the 2016 season.

The Bishops Meet, and Miss the Point
U.S. Catholicism
Retired Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan of Santa Fe, N.M., looks over material during the fall general assembly of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore Nov. 13, 2019. (CNS photo/Bob Roller)
The 2019 fall gathering of the U.S. bishops in Baltimore lacked the drama of last year's meeting, where a breakdown in communications between the USCCB and Rome on addressing the sex-abuse crisis was visible for all to see (an embarrassment for which the official explanation contradicts the well-documented history). This time around, the bishops avoided major public missteps and everything appeared to go according to plan. They approved the revised document on strategic priorities for 2021 to 2024 (evangelization, vocations, life and dignity of the human person, the protection of children). They elected the new secretary for the conference, as well as a chairman of the committee for religious liberty, and chairmen-elect of five additional standing committees. They tapped Bishop Andrew Cozzens to succeed Bishop Robert Barron as chairman of the committee for evangelization; Cozzens, the auxiliary bishop of St. Paul-Minneapolis, is known for his sympathy toward the neo-traditionalist Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and the Latin Mass in the pre-Vatican II rite. And there was the election of a new president: Los Angeles Archbishop José Gómez, who becomes the first-ever Latino to hold the position. The new vice president is Detroit Bishop Allen Henry Vigneron, who, if elected president three years from now, would turn seventy-five during his tenure and would therefore have to submit his resignation to the pope.
The elections underscore the fact that bishops from the John Paul II and Benedict XVI eras remain the majority of the conference and its center of gravity. This was also apparent in the heated debate over preparation of the Faithful Citizenship guide for the 2020 elections. A small group of bishops, who like Francis believe that teaching on abortion should be presented in the larger context of life issues (including climate change and poverty), sought to include a paragraph from the pope's encyclical Gaudete et exsultate expressing this idea. The proposal was rejected. Instead, the majority approved five short video scripts and a brief introductory paragraph identifying abortion as the "preeminent priority" for the coming election year. This is far out of tune with the political thinking of many voting Catholics, for whom the issues of immigration, the care for creation, and economic justice—not to mention the Trump presidency itself—also loom large. In some ways, the coming election is about just what kind of Christianity the U.S. Catholic church will choose to embody in a changing America. The majority of the bishops gathered in Baltimore seemed to evince no awareness of this.
Nor did they seem to appreciate the polite yet pointed criticism delivered by U.S. papal nuncio Archbishop Christophe Pierre in his opening speech to the conference. In encouraging bishops to honestly assess the progress of the new evangelization, he said the following: "While there has been a strong emphasis on mercy by the Holy Father, at times, paradoxically, people are becoming more and more judgmental and less willing to forgive, as witnessed by the polarization gripping this nation." He made clear—in his diplomatic way—that it has not gone unnoticed that many U.S. bishops have largely ignored the two most challenging documents of Francis's teaching: Amoris laetitia and Laudato si'. Their cool reception to Pierre seems another indicator of their unwillingness, or inability, to engage with our times.
The Baltimore meeting perfectly embodied the poisonous, deeply damaged ecosystem of online American Catholicism.
The USCCB also ignored the remarkable, and remarkably important, speech that San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy delivered at St. Mary's University in Texas a week prior to the Baltimore gathering. That speech was nothing less than the U.S. equivalent of the "magna carta" of synodality that Pope Francis delivered in October 2017 on the fiftieth anniversary of the institution of the Bishops' Synod by Paul VI. McElroy made the most powerful case so far for the establishment of a synodal process for the U.S. church, basing it on his stark diagnosis of the state of the ecclesial communion. "It is my reluctant conclusion that the church in the United States is now adrift on many levels," he said, "and that a fundamental moment of renewal is needed. A synodal pathway would be an opportunity to set that type of renewal in motion." At the same time, McElroy expressed hope that such renewal is possible, citing the "significant dialogical process" demonstrated at last year's Fifth National Encuentro of Hispanic/Latino Ministry. "Such a synodal pathway is not foreign to the church in the United States, nor is it beyond our capacities," he said. We can stick with the status quo, he said, or choose a new approach. "The great danger is that our ecclesial life is becoming like our political life—polarized, distorted, and tribal. That is why a deep and broad process of synodal dialogue within the Catholic community in the United States could empower an alternative pathway forward."
Synodality has been seen on the local level in the United States—in San Diego in 2016, for example—and in June the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis began a two-year synodal process leading toward a final celebration on Pentecost weekend in May 2021. But otherwise the U.S. church is far out of step with other churches in the west. Just the idea of a national synodal process, or even of a national plenary council, seems inimical to most U.S. Catholic leaders. And it's not just a problem of politics. There seems to be a lack of familiarity with the theological concept of synodality itself. (Consider, for example, comments from Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput in a recent interview: "I don't think anybody has a clear idea because there's no definition of [synodality]. There's no Church documents in the West that explain it. It's really an Eastern Church concept more than one that we're familiar with…") But it's not as if American theologians are experts either. Search online for books or monographs on synodality in English, and only a handful of articles in specialized academic journals turn up. This is one of the prices to pay when a generation of Catholic lay professional theologians turns away from the study of ecclesiastical institutions in favor of anthropological, sociological, and cultural studies.
It was also instructive to view the Baltimore gathering in light of the Synod for the Amazon held in Rome just a few weeks before. Under Francis's leadership, the Amazon Synod became the place for ecclesial and theological tensions to meet head-on and be brought into synthesis, through a celebration of synodality and the Eucharist, in a spiritual setting. There was no live-stream of the proceedings, and only limited press access. By contrast, the Baltimore meeting perfectly embodied the poisonous, deeply damaged ecosystem of online American Catholicism: live-streamed, unfolding "transparently" according to a carefully conceived communications strategy meant to generate commentary and reward the "loudest" Catholic voices online. The church is no longer torn between the old monarchical model and the modern democratic model; now, it's split over living synodally in real places with real people, and adherence to a media and communications model meant to help preserve the status quo. Remember Plato's warning to Athenians who'd become consumed by the culture of theater about the incompatibility of orthotes (uprightness) with doxa (superficial opinion). When all an ecclesial assembly is is theater, it makes little sense to watch.
The dominant impression left by the Baltimore meeting? That in spite of occasionally sincere, sometimes ritualistic, expressions of communion with Rome, the effort to neuter Pope Francis's message in the United States continues. The American church is not only adrift, but also increasingly alone in the world.

Expected to be released in May, the band's 13th studio set sees David Coverdale joined by guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, bassist Michael Devin, keyboardist Michele Luppi and drummer Tommy Aldridge.
The lineup will begin a spring US tour in Newkirk, OK on April 12.
"We are truly excited and looking forward to playing across the globe in 2019 on what will be a continued celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Whitesnake," says Coverdale. "I am so honored and grateful to have toured this incredible world we share, for over 40 years, celebrating and enjoying unforgettable moments with millions of people… All of whom have joined me on this amazing journey… I truly love the shared experience and simply love my job and always will… Over four decades of reptilian fun! Thank you!"
"Flesh & Blood" marks the follow-up to 2015's "The Purple Album", a project that saw Coverdale re-record classic songs from the Deep Purple Mark 3 and Mark 4 records he appeared on.

Q: Replace the values of some keys in a single line text file I have a large file called res.dat that contains certain data I need modified. All data is on one single line.
For example:
L1TRAIN="200" NEEDL2="14" L2TRAIN="300" NEEDL3="16" L3TRAIN="400" NEEDL4="99" L4TRAIN="600" NEEDL5="99" L5TRAIN="900" DELAY="60" COOLTIME="0" KORNAME="화염풍" SKILLTYPE="0" TOOLTIP="A defensive spell that allows you to push away enemies of lower level. This spell has a fixed chance for success. The range of the spell and chance of success increase with training." /><VALUE MAGID="9" MAGNAME="Lavastrike" TYPE="0" EFFECTTYPE="5" EFFECT="7" SPELL="11" POWER="14" MAXPOWER="18" DEFSPELL="15" DEFPOWER="12" DEFMAXPOWER="16" JOB="1" PHASE="0" NEEDL1="20" L1TRAIN="500" NEEDL2="22" L2TRAIN="600" NEEDL3="24" L3TRAIN="700" NEEDL4="99" L4TRAIN="900" NEEDL5="99" L5TRAIN="1200" DELAY="80" COOLTIME="0" KORNAME="염사장" SKILLTYPE="0" TOOLTIP="A spell that shoots out line of fire along the ground, damaging all enemies caught within the fire. Its damage increases with training." /><VALUE MAGID="10" MAGNAME="LightningBeam" TYPE="2" EFFECTTYPE="6" EFFECT="8" SPELL="12" POWER="14" MAXPOWER="14" DEFSPELL="15" DEFPOWER="12" DEFMAXPOWER="16" JOB="1" PHASE="0" NEEDL1="21" L1TRAIN="500" NEEDL2="23" L2TRAIN="600" NEEDL3="25" L3TRAIN="700" NEEDL4="99" L4TRAIN="900" NEEDL5="99" L5TRAIN="1200" DELAY="80" COOLTIME="0" KORNAME="뢰인장" SKILLTYPE="0"

I need to run a script that looks for the data inside the double quotes of L1TRAIN, L2TRAIN, L3TRAIN, L4TRAIN and L5TRAIN and update all of them to  L1TRAIN="100" L2TRAIN="200" L3TRAIN="300" L4TRAIN="400" L5TRAIN="500" There is loads that need modifying, all the data is on one line.
The output of the example should be:
L1TRAIN="100" NEEDL2="14" L2TRAIN="200" NEEDL3="16" L3TRAIN="300" NEEDL4="99" L4TRAIN="400" NEEDL5="99" L5TRAIN="500" DELAY="60" COOLTIME="0" KORNAME="화염풍" SKILLTYPE="0" TOOLTIP="A defensive spell that allows you to push away enemies of lower level.

A: Here's one way to do it with sed:
sed 's/\(L\([1-5]\)TRAIN="\)[^"]*/\1\200/g' res.dat

this uses grouping and back-referencing, replacing any occurrence of
LnTRAIN="anything_except_double_quote
with
LnTRAIN="n00
where n is a number between 1 and 5.
