my JOb script is as follows:

Job was created successfully, but the job status is failed, not succeed . Whats the reason behind it? it returns the following error:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "PSEB" when expecting one of the following:

The symbol ":=" was substituted for "PSEB" to continue.

please guide me to solve this...

A: Omg, your code looks so complicated. Consider this simplification first:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Archive

   v_query varchar2(2048);

           execute immediate v_query;
           v_query:='delete from cfw.DCTBLPERFDCUMULATIVEB4TODENERG where cumulativeid in (select cumulativeid FROM '|| rec.tablename || ' WHERE ' || rec.condition||' < sysdate-90';

A way to check job:
select * from user_jobs;

A: The easiest way to execute a stored procedure from scheduler job is by changing the job_type.
Rest you can use your own values. Try this and post back results.
Example:
job_type             => 'STORED_PROCEDURE',

job_action           => '"OWNER"."PROCEDURE_NAME"',

A: It seems like you are mixing two different ways of using create_job with create program. Please do change your script to something like this:
begin
  DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
     job_name           =>  'purgeproc_automation',
     job_type           =>  'PLSQL_BLOCK',
     job_action         =>  'BEGIN call pseb.archive(); END;',
     repeat_interval    =>  'FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=2', /* every other day */

Idris Elba tells Madonna fans not to believe the hype
Idris Elba and Madonna sparked speculation that they are dating after the pair were reportedly spotted kissing after the Luther star participated in a boxing match.
The couple were spotted together at London's M restaurant on Friday night following the actor's fight which was filmed for his upcoming TV show Idris Elba: Fighter.
She also shared a snap of herself lying on the floor with the actor, writing: 'I kicked his butt'.
The pair met for the first time back in 2015 after he DJ'd for her Rebel Heart tour. Opening up about meeting her while promoting Luther, the actor said: 'I was excited, I had a great time. Madonna is a legend. I got there, I met a beautiful person that has been working for ever and ever, amen, and is still going.'
However on Monday, Idris responded to the rumours by posting this tweet:
Am I sleeping with Madonna? No motherfuckers... "Don't believe the Hype".

Madonna attends Halloween party in London
Madonna and her friend joined lots of other celebrities on Friday night at a Halloween party at M Restaurants in The City Of London.
Madonna attends Edward Enninful's OBE dinner in London
Madonna attended Edward Enninful's OBE dinner at Mark's Club in London on Thursday night with Mert Alas and Kate Moss. She shared some pictures from the event on her Instagram page:
Madonna's 'Make My Video' MTV Contest Winner, 30 Years Later
Thirty years ago, MTV actually played music videos. And the network played a lot of Madonna videos. So many, in fact, that it devoted an entire day - Oct. 30, 1986, also known as 'Blue Thursday' - to Madge's 'Make My Video' contest, running a marathon of fan-made 'True Blue' music videos that ranged from semi-professional film-school projects to amusingly amateurish camcorder clips of tots in ballet-recital tutus or tweens in Desperately Seeking Susan lace hair-bows lip-synching into hairbrushes.
A week earlier, the top 10 contest entries even took over the cable channel's regular Dial MTV countdown show, and one of those contenders - a sepia-toned depiction of '60s malt-shop romance, lensed by Venezuela-born, Miami-based college student Angel Gracia on a $600 budget - won the $25,000 grand prize, and became the official video for 'True Blue' in the States. And MTV history was made.
'It's a bit shocking, actually. S—, I'm getting old,' Gracia laughingly tells Yahoo Music when he realizes he won the 'Make My Video' contest three whole decades ago, when he was just 21. Gracia credits 'True Blue' with launching his legitimate film career, which has included shooting commercials and even working with Ridley Scott. But he recalls that his video almost didn't make it past MTV's submission process at all.

Events: Madonna Celebrates the Candy Shop
Celebrating the last true pop icon: Madonna
Icons don't get much bigger than Madonna. She's transfixed us for decades. We follow her every move, intoxicated by her unstoppable fame, beautiful men, glamour and incredible wealth. Let's face it: at some time or another, we've all wanted to be Ms Ciccone.
Now, thanks to London's premier Madonna party 'Madonna Celebrates the Candy Shop' on December 3rd, you too can immerse yourself in the Queen of Pop's fantastic world.
'Madonna is what life is all about,' enthuses Kurt Hoffman who is organising the ninth annual Madonna Celebrates event. 'This year's going to be bigger and better than anything we've done before. Everything has been especially designed to allow you to step into the intoxicating realm of the ultimate pop superstar. We want fans to experience Madonna like they never have before.'
The night will be held at the newly refurbished Eagle, south London's premier polysexual bar and club, which now boasts an extraordinary Funktion-One sound system which will play the entire Sticky and Sweet tour.
'You'll never have heard sound like it,' says Hoffman. 'But it's not just about the acoustics – with a Madge-inspired set designed by Adrian Britnell, who has worked on such blockbusters as Moulin Rouge and Star Wars, we're also in for real visual treat.'
Seven vast video screens, a 'Candy Shop', VIP area, Vogue 'runway', art installation, secret garden and a multi-mirror balled dance floor will be inviting you to get into the groove.
Stay tuned for a competition to win one of TEN PAIRS of VIP tickets to the event at madonnalicious.com
Hoffman knows his Madonna and started the event in 2007 after seeing her ground-breaking Confession's Tour.
'Back then it was just a bit of fun,' he says. 'We've now been on an amazing journey and worked with some of the best acts and DJs going.'
Topping the bill this year will be Melissa Totten, a highly-respected Madonna impersonator, who will be treating revellers to key moments from the Sticky and Sweet tour.
'David Bowie and Prince are just two of the truly unique artists we've lost in 2016,' she muses. 'Madonna is one of our last icons, and even if she hung it all up today, she would have left a deep and lasting impact on pop culture. Music is not what it once was. Madonna floats high above the formulaic, canned pop you get on reality TV shows. There won't be another like her, so we need to enjoy her now.'
Melissa will be joined by gay scene legends Mzz Kimberley and Seth Stomboli, along with the kind of super-human dancers you'll see cavorting with Madonna in one of her legendary shows.
The night will also be raising money for local charity Wandsworth Oasis which supports local people living with HIV.
Madonna Celebrates the Candy Shop
Eagle London, 349 Kennington Lane, London, SE11 5Qy
Saturday December 3rd, 7pm- 4am. Eaglelondon.com

Madonna opens show for Amy Schumer in NYC and tells fans to vote for Hillary
She said what?! Madonna made an extremely NSFW proposition to fans during her opening act for Amy Schumer at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, October 18.
During the comedian's New York City show, the Queen of Pop made a surprise stand-up appearance, and jokingly offered to perform a sex act on male fans if they cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton in November.
'One more thing before I introduce this genius of comedy,' Madonna, 58, told the audience moments before Schumer, 35, took the stage. 'If you vote for Hillary Clinton, I will give you a blow job - and I'm good!'
Giving fans a thumbs-up, the no-holds-barred entertainer added, 'I take my time, I make lots of eye contact and I do swallow.'
This wasn't the first time the duo shared the Madison Square Garden stage together. Last September, Schumer opened up for Madonna's Rebel Heart tour during three of her NYC stops.
From Us Weekly
'So much fun opening up for Amy Schumer at Madison Square Garden tonight!!. It was short but it was sweet (like me). I'm forever changed! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love you Amy!! 💘💘💘'
'Love and Respect this woman so much!! Thanks for letting me get on your stage @amyschumer 💘😂'

Madonna Is Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year
When the 11th annual Billboard Women In Music event hits New York City this winter, royalty will be present.
Following a year where she extended her record as the highest-grossing female touring artist of all time, Madonna will receive Billboard's 2016 Woman of the Year award.
'Madonna is one of a miniscule number of super-artists whose influence and career transcend music,' said Janice Min, president and chief creative officer of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group. 'With her creative vision, relentless innovation, and dedication to philanthropic causes, she is an inspiration to hundreds of millions of people around the world, all while shattering every career record out there. She is an important feminist on top of that, a one-of-a-kind artist who's used her influence to change the conversation around women, sexuality and equal rights.
From her Prince tribute alongside Stevie Wonder at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards to her political Met Gala appearance to her indelible commentary on the 2016 election, Madonna has remained a constant force in pop culture and source of cultural conversation over the past year.
Her Rebel Heart Tour, which wrapped in March, solidified her status as one of the biggest touring acts of all time. Madonna sold more than 1 million tickets and walked away with $170 million. That makes her the highest grossing solo touring artist in Billboard Boxscore history (the archives go back to 1990) with a staggering $1.31 billion in total concert grosses.
In addition to being the first female pop star with true control of her career and image, Madonna is the best-selling female recording artist of all time. She's earned 8 No. 1 albums (and 21 top 10 albums) on the Billboard 200 and 12 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With her 46th No. 1 on the Dance Club Songs chart in 2015, she extended her own record for the most No. 1s on a single Billboard chart. She also holds the record for the most top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with 38.
In addition to her ongoing chart dominance, her philanthropic efforts are effecting real change in the world. Madonna's Raising Malawi organization is currently constructing Malawi's first pediatric surgery and intensive care unit, which will double the number of life-saving surgeries performed on children each year, provide intensive care after critical surgeries, and train specialized Malawian medical staff. The Mercy James Institute of Pediatric Surgery and Intensive Care facility will open in 2017.
The seven-time Grammy winner will receive the honor at the 11th annual Women in Music event, held Dec. 9 in New York City and airing nationally on Lifetime on Dec.12. The star-studded event is held in conjunction with the publication of Billboard's Women in Music list, which identifies the 50 most powerful female executives in the industry each year.

County's popular book club mixes literature and libations
By By Tim Prudente and tprudente@capgaznews.com
A guy walks into a bar.
He sets a book on the table.
Fifteen women come in, some sit around the guy with the book, about a charming but faulted Dominican man's infidelities, enough for women in this book club to order two drinks.
"The way he treated women, it kind of offended me," says Lani Harder.
"I'm sorry to hear that," says the guy, Dave Zelonka, a librarian.

"You're speaking for all men, right?" Tricia Edwards asks.
It's the fourth meeting of Books at Bars, the most popular book club run by Anne Arundel County Public Library.
Twenty-five readers arrived that first meeting in September — too many for a single discussion, too many for a single room, move the tables, bring the chairs, among book clubs that's Woodstock, dig it?
"I don't think we realized how popular it would be," said Stephanie Petruso, who manages library social media — and now a Books at Bars waiting list.
Her top picks: "Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell, hard apple cider.
[More Maryland news] Thomas V. Mike Miller, longtime president of Maryland Senate, dies »
Books at Bars opened in July and readers were asked to RSVP online. Names kept coming. In August, the meeting was capped at 30. Librarians began a waiting list.
At meetings, they split members in two rooms of the 1747 Pub at Reynolds Tavern in Annapolis.
"You can't fit," Petruso says. "You can't do a good book discussion."
Before, book clubs in Annapolis and Crofton were among the most popular, averaging 17 monthly members. Guys Book Club in Severna Park sees about a dozen monthly members. Elsewhere, clubs see between five and 10 people.
Librarians have never before needed a cap.

"It's a social experience," Zelonka says.
His favorites: "The Outsiders," Heavy Seas beer.
A Broadneck Community Library staffer, he founded the club to reach readers aged 20s and 30s, those seen infrequently in libraries preferred by students for research and parents for children's reading programs.
Most book clubs trend older than Books at Bars.

The club meets monthly in the historic downtown pub, since it served as Annapolis' library from February 1936 to November 1965, until the West Street branch was built. This monthly club is part of a national trend to mix literature with libations.
East Lansing Public Library's Books on Tap club meets at Jimmy's Pub outside Detroit. A Whiskey and Books club meets in Brooklyn. The PBR Book Club meets in Kansas and prefers bargain Pabst Blue Ribbon beer (don't judge).
For December's meeting, Zelonka choose "This Is How You Lose Her" by Junot Diaz.

Boy, 16, charged with bringing knife to school
Booking photo of Anthony Murphy
PALM COAST, Fla. – Flagler County sheriff's deputies arrested a Palm Coast teen Monday afternoon at his home and charged him with carrying a knife in his underwear to school for three days.
Anthony Murphy, 16, was charged Monday with possessing a weapon on school property, which is a felony. He was taken to the Flagler County jail and was later released to his parents.
Deputies said Murphy carried a knife to school on three separate days: Thursday, March 31, Friday, April 1, and Monday, April 4.
The teen's father, William Murphy, called deputies after he learned his son had been carrying the knife to Flagler Palm Coast High School. Anthony Murphy told deputies he didn't have a specific reason to carry the knife and wasn't trying to impress anyone.
Deputies noted in the report that Anthony Murphy said he was "unaware of the seriousness of carrying" the knife. The Flagler County School Board was notified of the arrest.

The Latest Instalment
In which the Masochist Goes a Little Squirrelly
By John Lofranco Feb. 2, 2005
What a cruel twist of fate that my first winter in six years without a girlfriend or wife must also be spent without hockey. For several weeks now, I've been feeding you lines and keeping my face straight, my upper lip stiff and my chin up. But it finally hit home this week: I miss hockey. I really, really do. I think it's because we're reaching the moment of truth. Until now, there'd been a glimmer of hope (or maybe it was just denial). But this week, after yet another last-ditch effort to save the season, the possibility that there might actually be no hockey this winter has finally hit home.
For some, like Archie Bennitz, it's too late. That old man spent his final winter deprived of his favourite game, his favourite Saturday-night pastime. So I guess I shouldn't feel too badly. But still, it's been a long, slow descent.
In September, I sought solace in the World Cup, letting it wash over me like a Zamboni flood.
In September, I sought solace in the World Cup, letting it wash over me like a Zamboni flood. There was a wobble, a moment of weakness, in October when the season didn't start. In November, with no family hockey-pool to talk about, my dad and I sat silently on opposite ends of a long-distance phone call. In December, there were negotiations, and a renewed sense of hope as our junior men's team won the world championship. Canada became the reigning hockey nation, simultaneously holding the junior title, the World Cup, and gold medals in both the men's and women's Olympic and world championships. But there was no joy in Iceville.
What to do? After I reviewed Matt Robinson's chapbook of hockey poems back in November, a reader requested some poetry of my own. So here's a little something to help cry away the winter:
Lament for Nik Antropov
I want you like classic rock at a hockey game:
corners rounded but firm, resonating under
the crested chests of over-age juniors shrink-wrapped
in jewel-cased arenas, their faces French-horn-solo-smooth;
change playing records in my pocket, balancing
a penny on the head of a needle, or three quarters
for a paper and the warm feeling I get reading
training-camp reports, a little too concerned
for who will play right wing on the Leafs' fourth line.
Liner notes on the inside sleeve sing falsetto; the album cover
features a Kazakh teen wearing the Blue and White,
while Neil Young, unshakeable in adult contemporary,
fills between-song vinyl cuts with zamboni harmonics.
Meanwhile, the good folks over at PunGents refuse to give into scent-iment. I don't want to be one of those effusive sportswriters, you know, the kind who works in the praise box, but these punny fellows can really brighten your day. They've got quite the com-pun-dium of hockey jokes, a few of which I'll pass on to you here. But be warned, these stick-handlers are not for the feint of heart:
Which Habs great once worked as a janitor? Broom-Broom Geoffrion.
Which trophy has the most glitz? The Lady Bling.
Which Oilers great had a soft spot for Indian food? Jari Curry.
In later years was the Great One in decline? Yes, he was on the Wayne.
Montreal's baseball team relocated to Tampa after being bought by the Exposito brothers.
Why was a certain Leafs right winger sued by the Louisiana government? Because he was Owen N'awlins.
Which front-office type is the most promiscuous? The general ménageur.
And for those who've taken up a new "hobby" to fill those long Saturday nights that were once occupied by the NHL:
Where do players hide their marijuana? Between the stash marks.
Wouldn't they get two minutes for tripping? Not if they spliff the defence.
Yes, but would they be stoned by the goalie? No, they'd smoke it right between the pipes!
So that's where we stand this winter: alone, hockeyless and at the mercy of the English language. Anyway, I could go on and on about Salming, but I don't want to Borje. I wouldn't want to Bet, man, but I really hope the negotiations are Good enough to save the season. Otherwise, it could be a long winter.

What Countries will see the Most Growth in the Gambling Industry in 2023?
Like any industry, many factors can affect the industry's growth. Some of these factors include changes in government regulations, economic conditions, and consumer demand. With this in mind, here are our top three countries that we predict will see the most growth in gambling in 2023.
Gambling in New Zealand is expected to increase significantly in 2023 due to the introduction of several new technologies and gaming trends. This includes online casino NZ, virtual sports betting apps, and mobile gaming platforms.
These advancements have made it easier for people to access gambling services from anywhere in New Zealand, giving them more options and opportunities than ever before. Additionally, the increased accessibility of these services has led to a rise in the number of people taking part in different forms of gambling. This is expected to result in an increase in revenue for New Zealand's gambling industry as more people are likely to engage in various forms of betting and gaming. Along with this, the introduction of new technology also means that there are more ways for people to stay informed about the different types of gambling available, and this will likely result in more informed decisions being made by those participating.
As a result, it is expected that New Zealand's gambling industry will continue to experience growth in 2023 and beyond.
It is expected that the German gambling market will experience a significant increase in activity in 2023. This is due to several factors, including the liberalization of sports betting, the adoption of updated gaming regulations, and an overall shift towards digital technologies. With its population of over 82 million people and one of Europe's largest economies, Germany is an attractive market for gambling companies and operators.
The liberalization of sports betting in Germany is a major contributing factor to the anticipated growth of the industry. In 2020, the German government voted to overturn its long-standing ban on sports betting, making it one of the last countries in Europe to do so. The new law will allow licensed operators to offer sports wagering services across the country, which is expected to lead to increased gambling revenues and further liberalization of the industry in the coming years.
In addition, Germany has adopted updated gaming regulations that make it easier for online operators and providers to enter the market. The new legislation sets out specific requirements for licensing, taxation, and consumer protection that aim to provide a safe and secure gambling environment. This will attract more operators to the market, which should lead to greater competition and better services for players.
Finally, Germany is experiencing a shift towards digital technologies, with an increasing number of people using smartphones and tablets for activities such as online shopping and banking. This trend is expected to carry over into the gambling industry, with more players turning to mobile and online platforms for their gaming needs. This could help drive the growth of the industry in 2023 as more people move away from traditional land-based casinos and embrace digital solutions.
The United States is expected to see a significant increase in gambling activity by 2023 due to the legalization of sports betting across the country. The US Supreme Court struck down a federal law that had prohibited most forms of sports betting outside Nevada in 2018, thus allowing states to decide whether or not to offer legal sports betting. As a result, many states have passed legislation to legalize sports betting within their borders, and this is expected to lead to a boom in the gambling industry. New Jersey has the biggest market for legalised gambling in the country as a result of the 2018 decision. Additionally, the proliferation of online casinos and other forms of gambling has made it easier for people to access legal gambling services across the country.
This is predicted to further increase the amount of money spent on gambling activities in the United States, backed up by stats which show that up to 20 million Americans planned to place a bet on this year's football World cup. With the prevalence of both land-based and online gambling services, it is expected that Americans will be increasingly likely to participate in some form of gambling by 2023.
With this expansion, there are even more opportunities for business growth in the market. Read about how the US market presents lucrative opportunities for operators including global marketing affiliates.
In 2022, the global gambling market was worth $458.93 billion annually, a growth of nearly 59%. With growth expected in the above and many other countries, we should see this rise significantly again in 2023 and beyond.

SCOTT RUSSO (UNWRITTEN LAW) Interview + Tour Info.
Words Mikaelie A. Evans.
When Californian Skies are forecast to meet Australian shores: an interview with Unwritten Law's Scott Russo.
As Scott Russo answers the phone, he's having several other conversations with those in the lounge room. It's 1pm in San Francisco and the people from immigration have arrived an hour early to complete his paper work for Unwritten Law's upcoming tour of Australia. After an initially jolted introduction, we settle into the exchange of questions and stories related to the bands future, past and present.
With the frontman's paperwork currently in process, we nostalgic punters Down Under have a lot to be excited for. With the beginning of their scheduled tour dates quickly approaching, we know that we can anticipate their 1998 self titled album AKA The Black Album in full, but what else?! Despite the fact that I may be considerably too young to be an old-school fan, I couldn't hold back my excitement when it came to asking Scott, "So, what can you expect? Well, we're gonna play the Black Record from front to back, the first song to the last song, and then we are gonna break down that set and play additions."
When I asked him if that meant we could expect an overall healthy mix of classic tracks, he laughingly continued, "If we have classics, there'll be some of the classic ones in there. The Black Record has what I guess would be a lot of Australian classics. In our normal set we play a lot of The Black Record songs but as far as set lists, we play the songs that we think are the strongest and the best songs to play live that aren't fuckin' cheesy or (the songs that) make us feel like we're meant to be there or something like that."
Although it seemed to me like it might of been too long ago to now ask Scott what influenced his writing twenty years ago, he was quick to elaborate on his memory. "I think at that time there was a lot of music taking place and a lot of music was changing. Like for instance, there was that whole Epitaph Records movement that was happening that we were very much a part of and we liked that but when everything became so cookie-cutter, it kind of made, like me in particular, not stoked that it was so easy to create – and I'm a fan of other music – so I wanted to kind of add in different shit from the kind of stuff that I liked. I can only imagine, that's why it's a bit all over the show."
Though in relation to the lyrical content, I wondered if they had also been drawn on from previous experiences in Scott's life, "I'm sure that obviously some of them, maybe even most of them were. It's funny that you ask this very fucking question," continuing, "for practicing and rehearsing, I had to Google my own lyrics and as I'm reading them I started crying, like, these lyrics are so horrible! I would never say that now! Never, in a thousand years! I can't believe that my band let me sing this on records! It was insane. Then we rehearsed it acoustic and it was very naked. Then we played the songs together as a band like, okay, they're not that cheesy, not that bad… and everyone was like 'no, they're great!'… Some lyrics are personal, but some are just completely fictitious bullshit. Sometimes I was putting words together that I thought would make me cool… but honestly…" We laugh at how we supposedly grow with our age and Scott draggling proclaimed that he's old. How old exactly? "I'm 87, thank you for asking." Oops.
Age hasn't seemed to tarnish much for Unwritten Law though as we begin looking towards the future of their music. After their Australian Tour, the SoCal legends will continue working on an album that's in pre-production at the moment, due for release in Australian winter. A distant alarm rings in the background, wailing over our voices. Which winter though, 2018 or 2019? Dammit! The question has been forgotten… We've seen a variety of musical collaborations throughout their discography, and although no names have yet been confirmed, we could possibly expect to see a few more collaborations on their next project.
In the meantime however, we'll have to wait in anticipation for the announcement of Unwritten Law's new album, and appreciate their golden oldie's for the interim. Beginning their tour in Melbourne on Friday 9th February, we don't have too long to wait until their Black Album is played in full!

The upgrade of Heaton Depot was required by Network Rail as part of the Intercity Express Programme (IEP) for the new fleet of Hitachi Super Express trains. The IEP programme involved the upgrade of 8 light maintenance depots on the East Coast Main Line, with works at each carried out in sequence to maintain the operational requirements of the ECML.
Spencer Group were required to upgrade fuelling roads 1 & 2 whilst keeping the operational requirements of the depot at 100%. To facilitate this, a temporary fuelling facility was constructed prior to disruptive works being carried out and taking fuelling road 2 out of service for 30 weeks. The project was substantially completed 3 weeks earlier than programmed.
Collaboration between Spencer staff and the depot staff needed to be at its highest level at all times, with daily interaction involving all levels of depot staff, to ensure the safe working of depot workers during the evenings. The project won three successive Network Rail 'STAR' audits, testament to the 'safety first' attitude on site.

Celebrate Illinois!
Take a day trip to a historic spot to mark the state's bicentennial
By Erin Sauder — Email
Rohald Reagan Boyhood Home
Ulysses S. Grant Home
If you are looking to brush up on your Illinois history, there are plenty of places to visit that can help you do just that. Celebrate the state's 200th birthday with a stop at these must-visit destinations.
How much do you know about Ulysses S. Grant? You can learn more about the 18th president of the United States, also a victorious Civil War general, by paying a visit to his Galena home. Located at 500 Bouthillier St., the Italianate-style brick house was presented to the Grant family by a group of Galena citizens in 1865 as an appreciation gift for his service in the Civil War. After Grant was elected president in 1868, the house was maintained by caretakers in anticipation of his visits. A thorough restoration project of the house, originally built in 1860, was undertaken in 1955, with considerable research undertaken to ensure it was returned to its 1868 appearance. Today, the structure is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency as the U.S. Grant Home State Historic Site as memorial, and about 90 percent of the furnishings are original to when the Grant family lived there. The historic site is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. There is a suggested $5 donation for adults and $3 for children. Interpreters dressed in period costumes lead tours that detail the history of the home, as well as Grant's life during the Civil War and through his presidency. Special tours are offered from Thanksgiving to Christmas, when the house is decorated for the holidays.
More information can be found at www.granthome.com.
The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home
One small Illinois town can boast some big bragging rights. Dixon, which is the county seat of Lee County, also is where you'll find the boyhood home of former President Ronald Reagan. Located at 816 S. Hennepin Ave., the 40th President of the United States was 10-years-old when his family moved in. The Reagans lived there from 1920 to 1923 and the late president stayed a Dixon resident until after he graduated from Eureka College at 22. From there, he became a radio announcer, actor, governor, and eventually president, a term he served from 1981 to 1989. After leaving the city, Reagan, dubbed Dixon's favorite son, returned for occasional visits. Today, The Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home has been restored to its 1920s condition and is decorated with furnishings typical of the period. Operated by the Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home Foundation, the two-story structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and attracts thousands of visitors annually. Admission fees are $8 for adults and $5 for veterans and children ages 5 to 12. Active duty military, law enforcement, firefighters and children under 5 are free.
Visit https://reaganhome.org for more information.
Naperville has no shortage of family-friendly attractions to keep visitors entertained and one of them is Naper Settlement. A trip to the 12-acre outdoor living history museum, located at 523 S. Webster St., gives people a chance to go back in time and learn what life was like in Naperville in the 19th century. Established in 1969, Naper Settlement is home to 30 historic structures in a village setting, and attracts more than 100,000 visitors annually. The site's two original buildings are an 1883 mansion and carriage house. The interior of the Visitor Center, which is open year-round, offers changing exhibit galleries, the award-winning "Brushstrokes of the Past" exhibit, and the tavern. The village building interiors are closed to the public during the winter season. Naper Settlement also offers costumed interpreters, tours, special events such as Civil War Days, Oktoberfest and All Hallows Eve, as well as educational programming for visitors of all ages. Hours and admission fees vary depending on the season. And because it's located in downtown Naperville, Naper Settlement is just steps away from dining, shopping and the Riverwalk.

Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center
The invention of one of the most-widely used types of barbed wire helped change the history of the American West. And you can learn more about the inventor himself, Joseph F. Glidden, by taking a trip to DeKalb. The Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center, located at 921 W. Lincoln Highway, hosts tours and programming throughout the year. Both the home and red-brick barn on the homestead are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The latter is also significant as one of the oldest barns left standing in DeKalb County, according to the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center website. The site also features the Phineas Vaughan Blacksmith Shop and on Sundays when the Homestead is open, volunteer blacksmiths demonstrate the old-time trade as they shape hot iron with ultimate patience into useful tools and household items. Pieces hand-forged by Homestead blacksmiths are available to purchase in the Gift Shop. The preserved home is open year-round. Admission is $4 for adults. Children under 14 with family are free. Groups of 10 or more are $3 per person.

Joliet Area Historical Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center
When you think of Route 66, do quirky roadside attractions immediately come to mind? Created in 1926, the highway extended from Chicago to Los Angeles and was one of the one of the original highways within the U.S. Highway System. Route 66 served travelers for more than five decades, until it was decommissioned in the mid-1980s. While today it is no longer possible to drive the entire length of Route 66 uninterrupted all the way, some stretches of the original route have been well preserved. Various sections of the road have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. You can learn more about the iconic highway with a stop at the Joliet Area Historical Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center, located at 204 Ottawa St. There, visitors will find an interactive "Route 66 Experience," which the museum's website describes "as eclectic at the route itself." The Route 66 Experience includes a variety of cars, one which features radio broadcasts from seven different decades, as well as artistic displays that highlight icons along the old route. And don't forget to stop by the gift shop on your way out and pick up some Route 66 memorabilia.

I&M Canal Boat & Lock 16 Center
If learning more about the creation of the Illinois & Michigan Canal is on your bucket list, head to LaSalle. The city is home to a year-round visitor center dedicated to the canal's history, and includes exhibits, programs, visitor information, a cafe and gift shop. From April through October, visitors can enjoy a 60-minute, round trip ride on the I&M Canal Boat, a 70-passenger mule-pulled, full-size replica of the 19th Century canal boats that once carried passengers on the I&M Canal. The 76-by-15-foot boat is docked in downtown LaSalle, only five miles from Starved Rock State Park. Each trip begins with "Mule Tending 101," as guides in period attire introduce the passengers to the canal mules, Moe and Joe. The boat runs rain or shine. Before you leave, be sure to stop by the Lock 16 Gift Shop and browse the wide selection of unique gifts, seasonal décor, cards, books, souvenirs and mementos. The hand-dug I&M Canal opened in 1848, extending from Chicago to LaSalle-Peru. It's importance to both the region's and the nation's history was first officially recognized in 1964 when it was designated a National Historic Landmark, according to the non-profit Canal Corridor Association, which preserves history, protects nature and open space, and provides programs where people can learn about the I&M Canal.

Q: Rsync with SSH prompting for remote password I have followed the following guide to setup Rsync with SSH between my local machine and a remote server:
I performed the below as root:

*

*rsync -avz -e ssh /home/user/dir root@192.168.200.10::Backup/dir -> prompts for password

*ssh-keygen -> Key generated

*ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 192.168.200.10 -> confirmation that keys were copied

*ssh 192.168.200.10 -> Accesses the remote server without promting for password

*rsync -avz -e ssh /home/user/dir root@192.168.200.10::Backup/dir -> Prompts for password
Is it not strange that I can SSH into the remote server without being prompted for the password but do when using rsync?
I can see .ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server.
Where am I doing wrong?

A: You are mixing two separate connection modes: with a remote shell (-e ssh) and without a remote shell, thru a rsync daemon (identified by the double colon).
The manual states:

CONNECTING TO AN RSYNC SERVER
It  is  also possible to use rsync without a remote shell as the trans-
         port. In this case you will connect to a remote rsync server running on
         TCP port 873.
......
  you  either  use  a double colon :: instead of a single colon to
                separate the hostname from the path, or you use an rsync:// URL.
.......
  Some paths on the remote server may require authentication. If so  then
         you  will receive a password prompt when you connect. You can avoid the
         password prompt by setting the environment variable  RSYNC_PASSWORD  to
         the  password you want to use or using the --password-file option. This
         may be useful when scripting rsync.

Probably the simplest way to obtain passwordless authentication for you is to modify the command above as follows:
   rsync -avz -e ssh /home/user/dir root@192.168.200.10:/absolute/path/to/Backup/dir

A: Your username on your local account is probably not root, which is the username you use with Rsync.
ssh remotehost

…is effectively the same as:
ssh localUserName@remotehost

Sorry, I didn't notice that you already said you're running as root.
I also didn't notice that you are using the module syntax with two colons (::) after the remote hostname. I don't think the guide you followed covers connecting to Rsync this way, and that you should be fine if you use the single colon syntax, for example:
rsync -avz -e ssh /home/user/dir root@192.168.200.10:/some/path/backups/dir

A: I had this problem too - I hope this helps. For me, the problem was the syntax required for alternate port ssh.  Here are two working examples:
Execute this from the target backup machine, which pulls from source to target backup:
rsync -av --delete -e 'ssh -p 59333 -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa' user@10.9.9.3:/home/user/Server/ /home/user/Server/
Execute this from the source machine, which sends from source to target backup:
rsync -av --delete -e 'ssh -p 59333 -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa' /home/user/Server/ user@10.9.9.3:/home/user/Server/
This solution assumes you already exchanged your public key with target and/or vice versa using ssh-copy-id -p 59333.  This wonky syntax is not required if you use port 22, in which case you can use the i flag and it will procure the public key from the default location in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.  Here is an example without alternate port that also works fine:
Execute this from the target backup machine, which pulls from source to target backup:
sudo rsync -avi --delete  user@10.9.9.3:/var/www/ /media/sdb1/backups/www/
Execute this from the source machine, which sends from source to target backup:
sudo rsync -avi --delete /media/sdb1/backups/www/ user@10.9.9.3:/var/www/
If you are still getting prompted for a password, then you need to check your ssh configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and verify that the users in source and target each have the others' respective public ssh key.  I left this amount of detail because the syntax left by two others above still does not work for me.

Latin Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for linguists, teachers, and students wanting to discuss the finer points of the Latin language. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Why does Latin use declensions instead of just cases and gender?
What is the purpose of declensions? I know that 1st declension is female second is male and 3rd is neuter, but then why 4 and 5? What is the purpose of several declensions?
declension morphology
Joonas Ilmavirta♦
Hi and welcome to the Latin site! This is indeed the right place for this kind of question.
– Joonas Ilmavirta ♦
The relation between genders and declensions is more complicated than you list. The first declension contains mostly feminines, but there are also feminine-looking masculines like nauta and some masculine-looking Greek male names like Aeneas and Anchises. The second declension contains mostly masculines and neuters, but also some masculine-looking feminines. The third declension has all genders. The fourth one has mainly masculines, but also a couple of neuters like cornu and masculine-looking feminines like quercus. Perhaps the purest declension in this respect is the fifth one, which has almost exclusively feminines, with the exception of the genderfluid word dies.
But this only makes your question ever more important: Why make it so complicated?
Languages are not rationally designed and optimized. They evolve when used by a community. Things like this don't have anything I would call purpose, but we can still understand how they came to be.
The morphology of nouns was quite complicated already in Proto-Indo-European. Latin inherited this structure and it evolved in Latin and its predecessors. In fact, Latin was quite good at regularizing inflection, dividing words into a small number of categories with clear endings for each form. You can find a good description of the origin of Latin's five-declension system in this older question.
It should be noted that Romance languages derive from Latin, but they have lost much of the complications with nouns in Latin, dropping many forms and declensions. This suggests that those peoples and perhaps already the speakers of vulgar Latin in antiquity agreed with you and saw that they can make do with less.
Joonas Ilmavirta♦Joonas Ilmavirta
Even the descendant languages have not fully regularized their nouns. Spanish, a Romance language, has feminine nouns that look masculine (e.g. mano), masculine nouns that look feminine (e.g. problema), and nouns that can be either gender depending on the speaker's desire (e.g. mar).
@RobertColumbia True! Every language has some weird inflection. Even if it was fully regularized at some point, new exceptions would emerge over time. Some of the Romance irregularities come from Latin, but some are their own inventions (like the Italian plural of muro).

I don't know a lot about diapers. I don't have kids so it's not something I'd be fairly knowledgeable on. I've been learning a lot from G, since she's got a little one and another on the way. Apparently there are things to look for in a good diaper.

*luvs provided me with coupons for free diapers in exchange for an honest review.
no money exchanged hands and these opinions are my own. thank you luvs! you rock!
Thank you so much for invent this new diaper.I hope all mothers like this diaper. It's basically a conglomeration of bloggers who just can't get enough of cloth diapering. I'll admit, it is pretty addictive. I didn't start cloth diapering my first son until he was about 3 months old, and I hadn't planned to cloth diaper my second son until he was out of the super-fresh newborn stage. I didn't have small enough diapers, or so I thought.

Мейнхард VI () (ум. 1385) — граф Горицы и Кирхберга, пфальцграф Каринтии, фогт Аквилеи.

Биография
Младший сын Альберта II фон Гёрца (ум. 1325/1327) и его второй жены Евфимии фон Метш. Если судить по датам первой и второй женитьбы и по факту наличия детей во втором браке, родился между 1324 и 1328 годами.

От отца наследовал его владения в Пустертале вместе с братьями — Альбертом III и Генрихом V. Они же в 1338 году после смерти своего двоюродного брата Иоганна Генриха IV получили Горицу и ряд других земель.

После смерти Генриха V Мейнхард VI унаследовал его долю в графстве, и с 1365 года правил Горицей один. В том же году получил от императора Карла IV титул имперского князя. Однако другой брат, Альберт III, завещал свои владения в Истрии и Словенской марке герцогу Австрии Рудольфу IV, и от него Мейнхарду достался только титул пфальцграфа Каринтии.

В 1358—1359 годах, когда был вакантен пост патриарха Аквилеи, — генерал-капитан Фриуля. Фогт Аквилеи (1365).

С 1379 года — владелец графства Кирхберг (в Швабии), которое получил от тестя, а тот — унаследовал от матери, Адельгейды фон Кирхберг.

Браки и дети
Первая жена (свадьба не позднее ноября 1347) — Катарина, графиня фон Фанберг, наследница Грайфенберга и Сумерга (ум. 1374/75), дочь Ульриха V фон Фанберга. От неё дети:
 Анна (ум. 1402), жена Яна Франкопана, бана Хорватии. Получила в приданое сеньорию Шварценек.
 Катарина (ум. 1391), жена Иоганна II, герцога Баварии (Мюнхен)
 Урсула, жена графа Генриха III фон Шаунберга. Получила в приданое Шёнек, Нойенхаус и Уттентайм в Пустертале.

Вторая жена — Утехильда фон Метш, дочь Ульриха IV, фогта фон Метш. От неё дети:
 Генрих VI (1376—1454), граф Горицы
 Иоганн Мейнхард VII (1377/79 — 1430), граф Горицы и Кирхберга, пфальцграф Каринтии.

В завещании, составленном незадолго до смерти, Мейнхард назначил опекунами своих малолетних сыновей гуркского епископа Иоганна и графа Фридриха фон Ортенбурга.

Его вдова Утехильда фон Метш между 20 сентября 1386 и 6 января 1387 вышла замуж за Иоганна II Магдебургского, графа Ретца и Хардегга.

The Carmelite Church and Priory offers a unique and innovative experience as it is the only priory in Malta to open its doors to welcome regular visitors.
This initiative follows two exhaustively intensive years of restoration that have brought this seventeenth century priory back to its former glory. The extensive structural work that has been done in the priory itself can be properly appreciated in the stunning cloister constructed around an idyllic courtyard. Walking around the cloister one is lead into the different original 17th century spaces of the priory which are still in use by the community.
The highlight of the place is undoubtedly the Refectory where the friars congregate for communal meals. It is a rare example of the Baroque concept of the total work of art, where painting, sculpture and architecture come together to create a harmonious whole. Regular events are held in the refectory, the proceeds of which go towards the restoration of the paintings and the breathtaking ceiling of this room which is a masterpiece of ornamentation. On either side of the refectory are the pantry and the kitchen with an original stone stove. Here one can admire a variety of antique tools tools and utensils used in the priory dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Other areas provide further insight into the everyday communal life of the Carmelite friars. The friars gather at different hours of the day for prayer in the sober Oratory originally dedicated to Bl.Franco of Siena, patron saint of lay brothers. The oratory's altar goes back to 1670 and the titular painting of the Virgin of Mount Carmel is an interesting work by Mattia Preti and his bottega. Both the altar and the painting were originally in the church until the nineteenth century.
In the Chapter Hall the Carmelites assemble around the large table to discuss and decide upon important issues. A notable painting in this room is St Cecilia from the workshop of Mattia Preti. This used to be divided in two parts as it adorned the outside of the doors of the organ in the church. Also interesting is the small bozzetto of the dome of the church signed by the artist Santi Cacciaguerra. The items of Maltese furniture in the Chapter Hall have recently been restored, as have the two beautiful Baroque display boxes with statuettes of Carmelite Saints.
Opened for viewing is a friar's cell. It testifies to the simplicity of the contemplative life of a religious order. It features only the basic furniture and necessities required by a friar, to conduct a life of solitude and prayer. This particular cell housed Fr Avertanus Fenech, a holy friar who passed away in 1943. Pilgrims and devotees still pay a visit regularly to Fr. Avertanus' cell. Adjacent to the cell is a bier used for carrying the corpses of dead friars to the crypt for burial.
While making their way to the church visitors can appreciate a small selection of liturgical vestments. Made by cloistered nuns and noble ladies, these feature exquisitely intricate patterned embroidery. A selection of ecclesiastical silver has also been put on display alongside a number of devotional items in the sacristy.
Annexed to the sacristy is a room reserved for the priest and attendants to vest and prepare in prayerful silence before the celebrating of the Sacred Liturgy. Of notable importance is the lavabo, a theatrical piece of sculpture that was used for ritual cleansing.
The Priory is connected to the Carmelite Church from behind the altar. Its arresting impression lies in the fact that it was built to an elliptical shape which creates a very harmonious and welcoming space for congregation and prayer. The paintings in the choir, including the impressive titular of the Annunciation by Stefano Erardi have been thoroughly restored.
Among the most notable paintings in the church are the two works in the large main chapels executed by Michele Bellanti in the mid-nineteenth century. Bellanti was a very competent artist known mostly for his numerous small topographical works representing the Maltese islands. There are also six works by Giuseppe Calì in the church, with the Virgin of Sorrows being a very poignant and devotional work. Finally, the statue of the Virgin of Mount Carmel that is taken out in procession in July, is a triumph of Maltese sculpture. This eighteenth century statue, executed by the little-known Maltese sculptor Andrea Imbroll, is in excellent condition despite its age.


So think about what you could do every morning that would help you feel more energized, and give you a boost throughout the day. Try it out for a week, and see how powerful this is. Then, imagine the impact it could have on your life and career if you practiced it for a month, six months, a year, or more.
"When I first came to America (in 1968), I didn't have big calves. In 1969, I visited Reg Park at his home in South Africa and stayed with him for a while. He would get up at 5 a.m. to train. So Reg, being my early idol, I got up at 5 a.m. to train with him. The first thing he did every session was 10 sets of calf raises. His calves were a huge 20 inches. I looked at them and said, 'I want calves like that.' So he put 500 pounds on the machine and started his first set. I screamed, 'Five hundred pounds! I'll rip my Achilles!' He told me, 'When you walk, with one foot in midstride, the other foot is supporting 250 pounds, so both feet can support a 500-pound workload. To really make the calves grow, you have to go up to 1,000 pound calf raises.' I said, 'No way!' In one year, my calves grew two inches. They grew so quickly that some people began to say I had gotten calf implants..."
Had Arnold never conquered that belief, he may not have the massive muscles we all love him for today.
The simple truth is that our environment impacts us more than we realize - and particularly the people we spend the most time with. So, ultra-successful consciously choose to find ways to spend time with people they want to be like. I've heard of some people splitting their time three ways: First, with mentors, or people you aspire to be like (if not in person, than through reading or courses). Second, with peers on your level. And third, with people who aspire to be like you (so, acting as a mentor). Each type of person adds value to your life, and helps you grow and achieve more success. Obviously, most of us spend the most time with people at work. If that's something you want to change, then the best place (in my opinion) to find a job with the most inspiring people possible would be the GameChangers 500 list of the world's top For-Benefit companies. Incredible organizations like Recyclebank, Google, and TOMS shoes are on there… And if you want to get their attention and get the job, then check out the free video I put together alongside the founder of the GameChangers 500.
