Applications based on the Kahn process network (KPN) model of computation are determinate, modular, and based on FIFO communication for inter-process communication. While these properties allow KPN applications to efficiently execute on multi-processor systems-on-chip (MPSoC), they also enable the automation of the design process. This chapter focuses on the second aspect and gives an overview of methods for automating the design process of KPN applications implemented on MPSoCs. Whereas previous chapters mainly introduced techniques that apply to restricted classes of process networks, this overview will be dealing with general Kahn process networks.

Review: AMC Disney Springs 24 Dine-In Theatre
March 24, 2017 / tkamsler / 1 Comment
Last weekend my husband and I went to Disney Springs to see Beauty and the Beast, Disney's new live action version of the animated classic. (The movie was wonderful, by the way!) We decided to head up to WDW for the movie so we could do some shopping, be immersed in Disney, and to try out AMC's Dine-In Theatre.
Seating is reserved. The chairs are comfortable, but getting old; the leather is stiff and aging. They lean back but in a desk chair kind of way, not like the feet-up recliners you see in a lot of theaters these days. In front of you there's a table for your food, which conveniently has a foot bar I found very comfortable to prop my feet up on. It's not stadium seating at all, though; there isn't much slope to the floor so I wouldn't get seats too far in the back. Overall, the theater viewing room itself needs a refurb soon.
Our movie was at 11 AM, so we got there a little early to get our food order in right away. There are menus waiting for you, as well as silverware and 3D glasses, if needed. You can look at the full menu here on Disney's site, but it offers a wide array of choices, including but not limited to burgers, boneless wings, nachos, sushi rolls, flatbreads, teriyaki bowls, mac & cheese, salads, wraps, tacos, chicken tenders, fish & chips, and doughnuts. You can also, of course, order traditional movie fare such as popcorn, candy, and drinks.
When you're ready to order, you press a button at your table.
Shortly thereafter, a waiter arrives and takes your order. The food arrived rather quickly after that — we had everything, drinks, appetizers, and main course, before the movie started. The waiters were all extremely helpful, polite, and attentive. Definitely a little of the Disney spirit of customer service going on there.

You don't have to order early, though. And if you need anything during the movie, like a refill or napkins or dessert, just push the button and your waiter comes by again. This, though, was my biggest concern about a dine-in theater. I hate it when people talk, use their cell phones, or do anything distracting during the movie. It drives me crazy. People ordering food, waiters walking around, all during a Disney extravaganza and remake of one of my favorite movies, that I'd waited over a year for? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Weirdly, though, it wasn't at all distracting. The aisles are wide and the waiters really know how to be unobtrusive. It was fine, no problems, no distractions. Trust me, if there's ANYONE this arrangement was going to bother, it was me, and it didn't.
So, on to the food!
We ordered two appetizers, the first being the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. They were very nicely seasoned, crunchy-crispy, and the cheese was a nice added touch. I know everyone isn't a fan of Brussels sprouts (though I don't know why not!) but these were delicious.
We also got the loaded tater tots, and these were a little disappointing. The tots did have cheese sauce, bacon, scallions, and Ranch dressing, but not the way I'd imagined it — there was just a drizzle of each on top of regular old tater tots. Which are always yummy, but I expected something a little more decadent.
Both of us had burgers and fries as our entrée. The fries were pretty good, especially while they were still hot. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, nicely greasy. The burger wasn't exceptional, though. The bun was fine but the patty itself was overcooked and dry. My husband got the Royal Burger, which was loaded with bacon, brie, carmelized onions, sweet fig jam, and Royal sauce, and he didn't notice that it was dry, given all those gooey toppings. A better-cooked burger to start with, though, would be a good improvement all around.
We had a great time at the AMC Dine-In at Disney Springs and would definitely go to a movie there again, especially a Disney movie, just to feel a little more immersed in the land of the Mouse. A few updates, a fresh coat of paint, and a better meat thermometer and I'd give it an A+, but even without those it's a fun experience I can definitely recommend.

Explore Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum in one day from Sorrento! Visit the old Roman town of Pompeii and climb on Vesuvius, the volcano that destroied it, from Vesuvius summite you will get one of the best panoramic view on the Bay on Naples, then after a stop for lunch (own expense) we will drive to Herculaneum for a visit to the famed archaeological site.
Here we suggest a stop for a lunch, there are great farmhouse just near the area where you can taste the typical neapolitan food.
After you lunch (optional and at own expense) we will drive to Herculaneum, where unlike Pompeii, covered by a layer of lapillus and ashes, Herculaneum was submerged by a thick layer of lava and mud that preserved it all, sealing everything.
The day trip will end by driving you back to Sorrento, on the road you can admire other great view of Sorrento's coast.
It's suggested to wear comfortable shoes as in Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum there is a lot of walking, also bring with you a bottle of water.


TVM provide a niche offering to vets – a specialised range of products for the treatment of poisoning in animals, plus unrivalled support expertise.
Our challenge was to communicate this proposition in an impactful and engaging way, in order to build brand-awareness among vets.
This included an impressive collection of collateral, together with an 'emergency folder' to help the vet or nurse manage their inventory.
A consumer focused campaign enabled the vet and nurse to communicate the dangers of poisoning clearly and effectively to pet owners.

CalOES Leader Discusses Comm Network's Vulnerability
In testimony to state lawmakers, Mark Ghilarducci, director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, critiqued telecommunications networks after a lone downed cable snarled holiday air traffic.
( FlickrCC/Michael Coghlan )
A single downed Internet cable was to blame for the massive holiday havoc at the Sacramento International Airport in the hectic days before Christmas, canceling flights, stranding passengers and forcing airline employees to check luggage and write out boarding passes by hand.
But the real culprit, said California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Director Mark Ghilarducci, is telecom's failure to create a more resilient communications network.
Two days of chaos — triggered when a drunk driver on a rural road, three miles from the airport, crashed into a utility pole holding an AT&T fiber-optic bundle on Dec. 23 — shows the network's vulnerability, Ghilarducci said in testimony before state lawmakers on Wednesday about telecommunications outages and ways to prevent them.
"An unprotected single fiber line to critical infrastructure is unacceptable," he said. "The reliability of these systems are inconsistent, or simply absent, with what's necessary to ensure the delivery of the essential lifeline capabilities.
The incident follows public outcry over communication service failures during October wildfires and PG&E power shut-offs designed to reduce risk of downed utility lines during high-fire weather. Hundreds of thousands of Californians were without phone or internet service, according to federal reports. Residents feared they couldn't call 911, reach family members or get evacuation warnings or escape routes.
Hospitals and 911 centers were unable to process critical data or pull up important records, said Ghilarducci.
Because the telecommunications companies did not have adequate backup plans, extra generators had to be rushed in from out of state, he said.
These generators, carried on trucks, were stopped at the border because they did not meet the state's emissions standards — and required special exemptions.
"Lack of service is not a mere inconvenience — it endangers lives," California Public Utilities Commission President Marybel Batjer told the lawmakers.
Also on Wednesday, some Democratic lawmakers revealed legislation to force telecommunication companies to have at least 72 hours of back-up power for all cellphone towers in high-risk fire areas. Telecom companies would have to pay for it, but the bill would not stop companies from passing along those costs to their customers.
At the hearing, the CPUC released startling findings from an investigation of AT&T and Frontier/Verizon's wireline reliability. A summary of the 2010-2017 report, released earlier this year but not publicized, found:
Deteriorating service quality. The quality of AT&T and Frontier voice services has steadily declined over the eight year period, with the number of outages increasing and the service restoration times getting longer.
Persistent disinvestment. The depreciation in the value of the AT&T and Frontier networks was greater than the companies' capital investments. This was most pronounced in rural and low-income service areas.
Degradation of landline service and support. AT&T no longer actively markets "Plain Old Telephone Service," or "POTS" and is instead promoting broadband service to grow revenues.
Failure to improve the network infrastructure to withstand bad weather or fire events. The companies' engineering, design and construction, and maintenance practices are not as robust as they need to be.
Preferential focus on higher income communities. There is an inverse relationship between household income and wire center service quality performance. For instance, AT&T wire centers that have been upgraded with fiber optic disproportionately serve richer communities. Areas with the lowest household incomes have the highest trouble report rates, the longest out-of-service durations, and the lowest percentages of outages cleared within 24 hours.
Increased focus on the most competitive communities. AT&T and Frontier offer the greatest service in regions of the state where competition — and potential loss of customers — is greatest.
State law requires carriers to restore 90 percent of service outages for regular telephone service within 24 hours or less, on statewide average.
"Yet the largest service providers routinely fail to meet these requirements," said CPUC commissioner Clifford Rechtschaffen.
The problems identified for traditional phone service are being found in broadband and other types of service, as well, he said.
While AT&T has the financial resources to maintain and upgrade its wireline network in California, it has not done so, according to the CPUC. Frontier, in contrast, said it wants to invest in upgrades, but lacks the financial capacity.
"These findings are troubling," said Rechtschaffen. "Consistent with our statutory mandates, we will continue with our investigations and our work to ensure that all Californians have fair access to essential services."

The internationally acclaimed University of Ghent asked us to build a tangible re-branding campaign that would perfectly illustrate the six pillars on which the institution is built.
The university was sitting on extensive documentation in which the six pillars of the University were academically explained. The academic aesthetic and idioms needed a more human and down-to-earth make-over. Not only of the written narrative, but of visuals, attractive website, print and other channels as well.
We designed a powerful, and to-the-point copy-style, worthy of the 'scientific landmark' that is the Ghent University. Each pillar got a separate, handmade visual, a signature color and style.

Q: Conjugate function of log-sum-exp? In Boyd's Convex Optimization book, Example 3.25 finds the conjugate function $f^*(y):=\sup_{x\in\text{dom}(f)}(y^Tx-f(x))$ of the log-sum-exp function $f(x):=\log(\sum_{i=1}^ne^{x_i})$. First, the gradient of $y^Tx-f(x)$ is taken to yield the condition:
$$
y_i=\frac{e^{x_i}}{\sum_{j=1}^ne^{x_j}}\quad i=1,...,n
$$
where we see that a solution for $y$ exists if and only if $y\succ 0$ and $\textbf{1}^Ty=1$. Then the book simply says:

By substituting the expression for $y_i$ into $y^Tx-f(x)$ we obtain $f^*(y)=\sum_{i=1}^ny_i\log(y_i)$.

So far I've been unsuccessful in deriving this. How does one proceed? All I see is:
$$
y^Tx-f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^ny_ix_i-\log(\sum_{i=1}^ne^{x_i})=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^nx_ie^{x_i}}{\sum_{j=1}^ne^{x_j}}-\log(\sum_{i=1}^ne^{x_i})
$$
But from here on I do not knonw how to proceed.

A: $\def\T{^{\mathrm{T}}} \def\e{\mathrm{e}}$Because$$
y\T x - f(x) = \frac{\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n x_k \e^{x_k}}{\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n \e^{x_k}} - \ln\left( \sum_{k = 1}^n \e^{x_k} \right)
$$
and\begin{align*}
\sum_{k  = 1}^n y_k \ln y_k &= \sum_{k  = 1}^n \frac{\e^{x_k}}{\sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}} \left( \ln \e^{x_k} - \ln \sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j} \right)\\
&= \sum_{k  = 1}^n \frac{\e^{x_k} \ln \e^{x_k}}{\sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}} - \sum_{k = 1}^n \e^{x_k} \cdot \frac{\ln \sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}}{\sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}}\\
&= \frac{\sum_{k  = 1}^n \e^{x_k} \ln \e^{x_k}}{\sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}}  - \left( \sum_{k = 1}^n \e^{x_k} \right) \cdot \frac{\ln \sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}}{\sum_{j = 1}^n \e^{x_j}}\\
&= \frac{\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n x_k \e^{x_k}}{\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n \e^{x_k}} - \ln\left( \sum_{k = 1}^n \e^{x_k} \right),
\end{align*}
then$$
y\T x - f(x) = \sum_{k  = 1}^n y_k \ln y_k.
$$

A: It's perhaps easier to substitute the expression for $x_i$ in terms of $y_i$:
$$y_i=\frac{e^{x_i}}{\sum_{j=1}^ne^{x_j}}=\frac{e^{x_i}}{e^{f(x)}} \Leftrightarrow x_i = \log y_i + f(x)$$
Then using the fact that $1^Ty=1$ the expression simplifies to:
$$
\begin{aligned}
y^Tx - f(x) &= \sum_{i=1}^n y_i x_i - f(x) \\
&= \sum_{i=1}^n y_i (\log y_i + f(x)) -f(x) \\
&= \sum_{i=1}^n y_i \log y_i + \sum_{i=1}^n y_i f(x) -f(x)\\
&= \sum_{i=1}^n y_i \log y_i
\end{aligned}
$$

Dennis Quaid was using two grams of cocaine a day before rehab

Beverley Mitchell says Jessica Biel helped her through miscarriage
Conan O'Brien reveals the worst guest he's had in 25 years
Dennis Quaid is opening up about his past struggles with drug addiction and the steps he took to get healthy in his later years.
The 64-year-old actor sat down with The Sunday Times for a lengthy interview in which he revealed that he was a daily cocaine user during the 1980s when his star was on the rise. The star revealed that he was using roughly two grams per day before he decided to get himself some help.
"I liked coke. I liked it to go out," he told the outlet. "I had one of those white-light experiences where I saw myself being dead and losing everything I had worked for my whole life. So I put myself in rehab."
For 10 years the star lived the clean and sober life before allowing himself to reintroduce alcohol to his world.
"I started drinking again because alcohol was never my problem," he said. "I never liked the feeling of being drunk."
He went on to reveal that he would use alcohol as a way to come down from his more intense cocaine highs.
This isn't the first time that Quaid has discussed his past dependence on cocaine. As previously reported, he appeared on "Megyn Kelly Today" in July to discuss just how much of a grip the drug had on his daily life.
"I was basically doing cocaine pretty much on a daily basis during the '80s," Quaid said. "I spent many, many a night screaming at God to 'Please take this away from me, I'll never do it again because I've only got an hour before I have to be at work,'" he said. "Then about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I would be, 'Oh, that's not so bad.' I had a white light experience where I saw myself either dead or losing everything that meant anything to me."
The star went on to discuss his highly-public love life. The star recently ended a 14-year relationship with Kimberly Buffington. Since then, he's fallen in love with 32-year-old French-Canadian model Santa Azuina.
"I met [Santa] very close after my ex and I were separated," Quaid said. "I was just going to be single and that was just going to be it when it came to love. And then Santa came along."
The star also opened up about his most public divorce to date with fellow actress Meg Ryan. He revealed that the circumstances were so public that he even got a call from then-President Bill Clinton.
"When it was announced that Meg and I were getting a divorce, he called me from Air Force One,' Quaid revealed. "He was over the Atlantic right after Palestinian talks had collapsed. I don't know how he found me, but he did. He just wanted to let me know he was thinking of me."
Quaid had a child with Ryan and twins with Buffington.

A Short History Of The Dardanelles Campaign
The Dardanelles, a narrow 60-mile-long strip of water that divides Europe from Asia, has been of great strategic significance for centuries. Carefully secured by international treaty, it was the closing of the Dardanelles that eventually brought the Ottoman Empire into the war as a German ally at the end of October 1914.

I was born in Dartford and lived in Longfield until I was nine and my family moved to Hawkenbury, where my mum owned and ran a livery and riding school. As a child I always preferred being outside than being at school. I attended secondary school at Cornwallis where I enjoyed science and maths, although in hindsight I wish I'd learned foreign languages too, but at the time I preferred anything practical. I had my first horse when I was about four years old, her name was Hayes. As a child I was a member of West Kent Meopham pony club and up until the age of 15 I used to compete in pony club triathlons, which involved running, shooting, swimming and riding. I decided I wanted to be a farrier when I was nine and at 11 I started going out at weekends and school holidays on work experience with our farrier Gary Burton. After finishing my GCSEs I started my apprenticeship working with Gary.
To become a farrier you require four GCSEs, Cs and above, including Maths and English language. I did a four-year apprenticeship with the Farrier's Training Agency in Hereford, which included block-release sessions at farrier training school. I then took the Diploma of the Worshipful Company of Farriers, the entry level exam required to be able to practise as a farrier in the UK, continuing to work with Gary for about three years as a qualified farrier. In 2000 I started my own business. I had a good customer base when I started on my own and was grateful for Gary's blessing to take on some of his clients as his business was of a substantial size. After a few years of general farriery work, I became interested in the science and theory side of the job. I spent time with the leading specialists in remedial shoeing and in 2006 I passed the Associate Worshipful Company of Farriers exam with honours. I was incredibly proud as the AWCF is one of the most difficult and challenging farriery exams in the world. While preparing for my associate exam I met farrier Dave Nicholls, who introduced me to the Equine Lameness Prevention Organisation. I am now a Certified Lameness Specialist and for the last nine years I've been a certified instructor and examiner for The Equine Lameness Prevention organisation and sit on the board.
This job is best suited to someone who can appreciate and tolerate the English weather whatever the season.
I have a qualified farrier who works for me one day a week.
I see myself continuing with day to day farriery but concentrating on remedial and challenging cases, putting more time aside for research projects and lectures, as well as educating horse owners about the science behind their horses' wellbeing.
I enjoy golf, fly fishing for trout and generally being outside and of course, spending quality time with my wife Kristy. We recently got married in Egerton.
On a good day I'd say a 10 for job satisfaction but like so many things in life, you only get out what you put in.

Hi! I'm Eric Pribramsky, a web developer with over 5 years of experience in a wide range of disciplines.
Before that, I consulted for the Customer Services Group within Salesforce as an Email Production Consultant. Clients I worked with include Best Buy, Limited Brands, Speedway, Michelin and BFGoodrich, UnitedHealthcare, and many others. My responsibilities consisted of creating HTML paste emails utilizing HTML, CSS - both inline and separate style sheets, and Ampscript. This experience enabled me to learn many of the Automation and Data tools within the Marketing Cloud to update content and script email personalization.
Prior to joining Salesforce, I worked at FTD, Florists' Transworld Delivery. I started as a Web Operations Coordinator, working with the IT and marketing teams to implement website changes. The company utilized a custom CMS to control the display of the site, as well as the pricing, discounts, and promoted arrangements.
After 8 months at FTD, I was promoted to Marketing Associate where I developed my marketing skills for content and email promotion. I managed the planning, vision, and execution of the partnership email program. Partners included major airline carriers and hotel brands. I was responsible for building reports using Adobe Ominiture and SAP Business Objects and presenting my findings to my manager and higher level executives. I was the liaison between the partnership marketing team and creative teams, helping coordinate the design and implementation of assets on the main website, and partner portals.
In 2013, I graduated from West Virginia University with a Master of Science degree in Integrated Marketing Communications. I spent my time analyzing different company campaigns, building proposals, researching demographics, and calculating the effectiveness of current campaigns. I studied the inner workings of a marketing plan from all different aspects and know what it takes to pull off highly effective campaign; from customer experiences to social media.
In my freetime, I mentor underprivileged youths, and always look for ways to share my talents with others. I have a dog, Fiona, who loves to be outside playing fetch. I am also an avid hockey player and enjoy mountain biking any chance I get.

Q: How to Get all Enum Values assign to my model return as List in c#? I was planned to fill my country List drop down using Enum. So i need Enum value description and that index value.
My Conditions:

*

*I want all Enum Value description with index  number value.

*I don't want value of Enum only i need description and index.

My Enum :
public enum CountryListEnum
    {
        [Description("United Kingdom")]
        UnitedKingdom = 0,
        [Description("United States")]
        UnitedStates = 1,
        [Description("Afghanistan")]
        Afghanistan = 2,
        [Description("Albania")]
        Albania = 3,
    }

My Model :
public class CountryModel
    {
        public int CountryId { get; set; }
        public string CountryName { get; set; }
    }

A: To get the index value, you can just cast the enum to an int. Getting the description attribute is a little more involved. Maybe something like this
public enum CountryListEnum
{
    [Description("United Kingdom")]
    UnitedKingdom = 0,
    [Description("United States")]
    UnitedStates = 1,
    [Description("Afghanistan")]
    Afghanistan = 2,
    [Description("Albania")]
    Albania = 3,
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    foreach (var country in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CountryListEnum)).Cast<CountryListEnum>())
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Index: {(int)country}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Description: {GetDescription(country)}");
    }
}

public static string GetDescription(Enum value)
{
    Type type = value.GetType();
    string name = Enum.GetName(type, value);
    if (name != null)
    {
        System.Reflection.FieldInfo field = type.GetField(name);
        if (field != null)
        {
            if (Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(field,
                typeof(DescriptionAttribute)) is DescriptionAttribute attr)
            {
                return attr.Description;
            }
        }
    }
    return null;
}

A: I think this should help you with an implementation.
        foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CountryListEnum)))
        {
            CountryModel myModel = new CountryModel();

            myModel.CountryId = item.GetHashCode();
            myModel.CountryName = item.ToString();
        }

Edit
As others have pointed the above will not retrieve the description. Here is an update in how to implement the retrial of description attribute.
        foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CountryListEnum)))
        {
            CountryModel myModel = new CountryModel();

            myModel.CountryId = item.GetHashCode();

            var type = typeof(CountryListEnum);
            var memInfo = type.GetMember(item.ToString());
            var attributes = memInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
            var description = ((DescriptionAttribute)attributes[0]).Description;

            myModel.CountryName = description;
        }

A: I think, this is what you looking for.
var model = new List<CountryModel>();
foreach (var item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(CountryListEnum)))
{
    model.Add(new CountryModel
    {
        CountryId = (int)item,
        CountryName = ((DescriptionAttribute)item.GetType().GetField(item.ToString()).GetCustomAttribute(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false)).Description
    });
}

Batteries, batteries everywhere and…not a drop to drink?
Forgive the failed metaphor. The point here is that batteries, both the kind that you toss after one use (single-use batteries) and the kind you can reuse (rechargeables), are an everyday essential in countless applications. Remote controls, cordless phones, power tools, toys, handheld games, digital cameras, flashlights, smoke detectors (you get the idea).
Unfortunately, with all this consumption comes a great deal of waste. Each year, Americans throw out almost 180,000 tons of batteries, with a majority of these being the single-use variety.
On the other hand, rechargeable battery use is on the rise. In fact, the U.S. EPA estimates that more than 350 million rechargeable batteries are purchased annually in the U.S.
So, with our increasing need for portable power, which kind is the best for you? Is there a "better" battery?
Single-Use: Single-use batteries are produced on a greater scale than rechargeables, making them initially cheaper to purchase. They are also prevalent and widely available, making them easily accessible. Recycling opportunities for them are also increasingly available.
Rechargeables: Able to be reused multiple times, rechargeables are thought to save consumers money over the life of each battery. Also, due to the Battery Act of 1996, providing easy ways for the public to recycle these batteries is mandated by law, and opportunities abound.
Single-Use: Single-use are often considered more "wasteful," because we consume such a large quantity of them. And this may sound redundant, but you can only use them once – increasing the need to have extra batteries around at all times in case your (insert electronic gadget here) dies.
Rechargeables: Rechargeables are often cited as being too expensive and not offering enough "bang" for your buck. They also contain a great deal of heavy metals, meaning that if you don't recycle them, contamination is much more likely.
The real way to solve the mystery is to ask where you'll be using the battery, and what kind of battery works best in different gadgets. To get an expert opinion, Earth911 chatted with Call2Recycle, the only free rechargeable battery and cell phone collection program in North America.
"When choosing between single-use batteries and rechargeable batteries, you should consider the value and expected life of the product the batteries will power," said Carl Smith, president and CEO of Call2Recycle.
So, what are you going to use? Is it a high-tech gadget that will need portable power on a regular basis? Then rechargeables are for you.
But what about slower drain products, such as your remote control?
"Rechargeable batteries aren't necessary for low-cost products that don't use much power. For example, television remote controls can sometimes last for years on a single-use battery, so it doesn't make sense to purchase more expensive rechargeable batteries for such a low maintenance device," added Smith.
It's also always recommended to use single-use batteries in your smoke detectors, as rechargeables can drain much more quickly and require you to change them more often or increase the chances that the battery will be dead when you need it most.
No matter what kind of battery you use, recycling them at their end of life is key to preventing pollution and recapturing valuable metals to be reused.
Because of their materials, these batteries may or may not be considered hazardous waste in different states. So, you should always check with your local government health, solid waste or recycling department before you consider their disposal.
According to Call2Recycle, most batteries are named for the type of metal they contain (lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, etc.). The more harmful the metal, the more likely you'll be able to find a recycler because of state and federal laws.
Many battery retailers will also accept them for recycling. This includes both automotive and household batteries. You can also find mail-in programs that allow you to collect batteries over time and send them in all at once. You'll want to properly prepare batteries prior to recycling, otherwise they could explode during shipping.
Once batteries are collected, any acids are drained for reuse, metals are reprocessed for recycling into new products and plastic casings are melted down and recycled into new plastics.
Through Call2Recycle's program, retailers such as Alltel, AT&T, Best Buy, Black & Decker, DeWalt, The Home Depot, Interstate All Battery Centers, Lowe's, Milwaukee Electrical Tool, Office Depot, Orchard Supply, Porter Cable Service Centers, RadioShack, Remington Product Company, Sears, Staples, Target, US Cellular and Verizon Wireless all offer some sort of battery recycling program.
All of the materials collected through the Call2Recycle program are recycled and used to create other types of materials, including new batteries and scrap metal. None of the material broken down from the recycling of rechargeable batteries and cell phones makes its ways into the landfills.
While nine states have passed laws banning rechargeable batteries from landfills, New York City and the state of California have passed the only laws requiring manufacturer take-back programs. This means that in four of the 10 largest cities in the U.S., you can purchase rechargeable batteries and know exactly where you can take them for recycling.

Amy Schumer's Sex Life With Chris Fischer Changed Post-Baby: I 'Need to Do That More'
By Riley Cardoza
Spilling sex secrets! Amy Schumer told Kevin Hart that she and her husband, Chris Fischer, sleep together every seven to 10 days now that they're parents.
Nikki Bella and More Celeb Parents Get Real About Postpartum Sex
"We do it and we go, 'God, that's so great. Like, we need to do that more,'" the comedian, 39, explained during a Wednesday, April 28, episode of SiriusXM's "Comedy Gold Minds With Kevin Hart" podcast. "And then we don't do it again for another seven to 10 days."
The actress went on to share a story from "the other day" when she asked her husband, 41, whether he wanted to have sex. "He ma[de] this face," the New York native recalled. "He kind of pictured it and, like, winced. He's like, 'How about tomorrow?' And I was like, 'Great. Thank you. I feel really good.'"

Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer's Sweetest Family Moments
The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo author went on to compare her postpartum vagina to "garbage." Schumer joked, "It's just street trash. It's honestly just, like, huge now."
The Inside Amy Schumer star added that she and the Beetlebung Farm Cookbook author "don't go out anymore," noting that their early nights can't all be blamed on the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'd be down at The Cellar every night doing standup, and now it's like, if a friend is like, 'Want to meet up at 8 p.m.?' I'm like, '8 p.m.? Sorry,'" the Emmy winner explained. While the new mom isn't "in bed" at that time, she jokes that she "stays up … protecting my fish sticks I made for my son."
In August 2020, Schumer first opened up about her and Fischer's postpartum sex, saying that she and the Massachusetts native got it on "once a week" and planned it out. "We go like, 'Let's have sex tomorrow or Tuesday. That'll be a good day,'" she explained. "And then we do it and we go, 'That's great. We should do that more,' but we still just do it once a week."
Revisit Amy Schumer's Funniest Quotes About Pregnancy
The Golden Globe nominee, who gave birth to son Gene, now 23 months, in May 2019, was happy to wait the recommended six weeks before having sex with Fischer. "I was hoping it was going to be longer than that because they just sliced my FUPA open," she said at the time. "I'm not, like, dying to get pounded from behind, thank you very much. So I was very down to wait the six weeks and then it was nice."

Joel Kyack: The red light is on.
Laura Owens: Do you think we can just ask each other questions?
JK: Sure.
LO: Do you like to look at art?
JK: Yes.
LO: Some artists don't like to look at art.
JK: I don't find a whole lot that really turns me on but I like seeking it out. Even the stuff I'm not digging is somehow formulating an argument in my own work. Or sometimes when I see something I'm really puzzled by it excites me and shakes me into action.
LO: Has that ever happened to you with a painting?
JK: Just recently actually, with your show "12 Paintings" at 356 S. Mission Rd. and Llyn Foulkes's show at the Hammer Museum. There was this one piece in Foulkes's show in particular called Flanders (1961–62), where he'd taken a framed painting and just put it in the larger painting. So this reference that he was making to something that he had seen in the world wasn't really a reference, it was just the actual thing stuck into the painting. And because the framed painting felt so finished on its own, simply by being in a frame, there became this silent conversation between the piece it was and the piece it had now become. All the information I needed was right there.
LO: I also really liked the Llyn Foulkes show, but was looking more at his use of trompe l'oeil. How it creates these telescoping versions of reality. There's a painted reality, and then there's a painting within that and a painting within that. His use of shadow and three-dimensional collage: "Oh, that's a table…" "No, that really is a table because it's sticking off the painting." In your new work, you're putting these found framed paintings, posters, photographs on the actual painting. It highlights an awareness of the fact that you're constructing this thing. It makes the body of the viewer active. They have to engage with it, and it's a kind of awakening to the process of thought involved in its making. As opposed to a painting that's transporting you to another world, where the body in the gallery or even the physical space in front of the art is much less important.
JK: Maybe this awareness you're describing serves to get around the linear experience of being transported to another world. Maybe by compounding levels of awareness you allow the work to be this singular, non-linear thing.

LO: I think what you're bringing up with Llyn Foulkes — which happens in a lot of really good art — is that the collage has this element of demonstrating the process, and that is just laid bare. It's like saying: "It's permissible to see how I made this thing. I cut this out of here and I glued it on."
JK: This revealing of process, or having it be very direct and unrefined, seems radical to me given that the things we generally interact with in our daily lives are so insanely refined. Like a cell phone — every rough edge is gone. It is a thing that is solely about its end use. And when these types of objects fail, even slightly, there's nothing that looks worse. Forget function — it has failed its intention. Its like Donald Judd's early sculptures at Marfa, they look like shit because, if just the corner is a tiny bit off, I'm like: "The whole thing's bullshit now." I'd argue that the tiny flaw — which is inherent over time — ruins it because its intention is exactitude. Even getting into a new car feels like a human never even touched it, like some giant robot pooped out this other robot.
LO: Do you think that means that art has to allow its flaws or have its own self-evidence built into it in order for it to be authentic?
JK: I think there's other ways of doing it, and I think that depends on how savvy you are. You did it in your last show. I went back to see it several times because I think I was just pissed about why I liked it so much. It was like when I first started playing in bands… We would go to some show and be so excited by the band that we would go and immediately practice at like 1:30 in the morning. What I liked was that it just felt so confident and just all the way, no apologies, all guts.
LO: It's funny because our artist colleague Michael Decker said to me about that show: "Your art comes across like you were the kid who someone on the playground picked on a couple times and you took it. And then you went home and you came back with some kind of machine that just laid everyone flat." I think he was trying to say it looked like I had something to prove and I over-proved it. But when I was making it I was thinking more like, I'm fucking sick of seeing all this work that is aestheticizing the idea of not trying, this aesthetic encapsulation of something that says, "I didn't try and that's really cool." I just came to the conclusion that it was really embarrassing to try, and I was like, "Oh, now I'm going to try really hard to do it."
JK: Those paintings have these giant exaggerated gestural marks that seem to have come from smaller gestures, and in that translation of scale and intention — from the actual gesture to the interpretation and remaking of that gesture — you don't leave anything out. The mark is itself, its interpretation, and its representation as a mark — all three.

LO: I didn't realize until afterwards that this idea of the frame within a frame or the painting within the painting was happening. Those big marks — when I started talking about the work I was like, "Oh my God, that big mark is made out of all these other big marks."
JK: It begins compounding.
LO: Like a Russian nesting doll.
JK: I thought of "12 Paintings"as being really generous. That's something that I think is perceived as not cool right now in contemporary art. It's not cool to be generous to your audience. Shit, your show and Foulkes's felt generous enough that I started thinking that I could make a painting, that I could translate the energy that is, to me, inherent in drawing.
LO: When I walked in your studio that was exactly what I saw. I was like, "This is an amazing drawing." Because with simple gestures you had really just drawn on the canvas and it felt like a very complete thing with a few marks.
JK: I had always felt very confident about sculpture or performance or music, but painting felt scary. Maybe about the third time I saw your show I went to the studio and stretched the first canvas. I was just like, "I'm going to do this fucking thing right now."
LO: How do you go from not stretching a canvas to stretching a canvas?
JK: Shit, I don't know. I think you go from desire to action when you have no other option. And the second I did it I was like, "This makes sense, so now I've got to go and do this as well."
LO: I wonder if the argument against painting could be because it has this historical primacy at its center. It's just this thing that gets rebelled against, you know? Maybe it has something to do with it being read as art.
JK: Very simply read as art?
LO: If you ask an average person "What's art?" they say, "Paintings." Somehow your brain fully believes in that. With sculpture, you have these materials to deal with. Even a Donald Judd is referring to…
JK: …other things made of steel.
LO: Things that are made for the world have a function and are awesome.
JK: It's interesting — this referential dialogue with the "real world" that a piece is in conversation with… I'm reading Artificial Hells by Claire Bishop right now, and she talks about this interesting point where when an artist does something — let's say you build a community center in the gallery… Her point was that criticism of those sorts of works is almost exclusively reserved for comparison only to other works of art. It doesn't get compared to or measured against the actual thing in the world that it's performing as.
Rats Get Fat… (2012). Courtesy of the Artist; Praz-Delavallade, Paris and Francois Ghebaly Gallery, Los Angeles. Photography by Robert Wedemeyer.
LO: Like an actual community center.
JK: Exactly. The merits of the project can — and I'd argue should also — be talked about in relationship to the actual "real world" thing it's in conversation with: the community center, functional steel structures, the café. We can just talk about it as a café. Is it a good café or a bad café, compared to other cafés? Since art has gone so far as to include almost any situation, I think it's exciting that all processes are game to any single artist. I think in that idea there's this sense of freedom, and that sense of freedom is a valuable thing to exercise and convey.
LO: I think making paintings it's weirder though than when you have the kind of fluidity of making art out of many different materials. You're literally using your hand and the paintbrush, and when you feel yourself making the same marks over and over again there's a consciousness to it that is always too self-conscious. And it's what can easily end up feeling stayed and overworked.
JK: I'm always a little wary of respect in general, and when that sort of self-indulgence happens, it seems like this awkward, weird respect for one's self, for ones own work. It's like exalting what you do and then behaving respectfully towards it. It becomes a trap.
LO: That's really subtle. That's a quality of dialogue with yourself, knowing you're imitating yourself from a year ago. Or maybe there would be a great sense of freedom in doing the exact same thing every day.
JK: Hard to say.

Barrie Farnsworth talks to award-winning photographer and Covid-19 victim Wesley Kristopher about his very eventful year.
IT was not the start to 2020 that Wesley wanted. First, towards the end of February, he suffered a serious fall from a ledge high above Winnats Pass at Castleton. Then, just two weeks later, he contracted Covid-19 and was in bed for nine days. But, although the after-effects of coronavirus are still with him – "I do get very breathless sometimes when out on walks" – the remainder of 2020 has not been so depressing. After being furloughed through lockdown by his employer Marks & Spencer, he is now back working at one of their Sheffield stores. And the other string to his bow, as a semi-professional photographer, got a major boost when he was selected as runner-up in two categories of the prestigious 2020 Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards. Ironically, it was a shot from the top of Winnats Pass that earned him the runner-up spot in the 'night-time landscapes' category… although Wesley says his fall in the snow earlier this year was his own fault: "I had set up my tripod and camera on a ledge – and a gust of wind then blew it over. I could see it below, thought I could reach it, but slipped and fell. "I was lucky, though – I think if I had hit any of the rock outcrops, I wouldn't be talking to you now."…

London is well known for its iconic luxury hotels, but a new kid on the block is giving the grand dames of the capital a run for their money. Schön! discovers a boutique hotel that punches way above its weight.
When you walk through the doors of The Wellesley, you walk into a world of jazz age glamour. One can almost imagine passing Jay Gatsby as he makes his way down the glistening white marble lobby to the dark and decadent Cigar Lounge. Although a 21st Century addition to London's hotel scene, this Knightsbridge landmark draws from a much longer heritage.
Named after Sir Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, whose former residence is just a stone's throw away, the hotel is actually housed in a decommissioned underground station (the building served as the entrance to Hyde Park Corner from 1906 until the 1930s). It boasts a distinctive oxblood tiled exterior, the hallmark of architect Lesley Green, who also designed Covent Garden station. Later, the site was home to Pizza on the Park, the famous jazz venue which hosted artists as distinguished as Amy Winehouse, George Melly and Mica Paris.
Since December 2012, the building has been given a new lease of life in the form of this small, but super luxurious bolthole. The Wellesley aims to become London's first six star hotel and it's quite clear that no expense has been spared in order to achieve this goal – the restoration itself took over two years and cost £36 million – but it's the highly rated service and those extra special touches that make a stay here so luxurious. "We go above and beyond for all our guests," affirms General Manager Stefano Lodi. "The Wellesley now employs 105 members of staff to service just 36 rooms and suites." Each guest can make use of the complimentary chauffeured Rolls-Royce and the 24-hour butler service, and even request a female butler if preferred.
If that's not enough luxurious enough for you, book into the Penthouse Suite, which occupies the entire sixth and seventh floors. As one would expect, facilities include state-of-the-art technology and lavish bathrooms stocked with Hermès goodies. The hotel has gone one step further, adding a private staircase and terrace with incredible views over Hyde Park and a lounge area with not only a large table for private dining, but its very own humidor.
The glamour of times gone by is evoked throughout the hotel. When restoring the building, interior designers Fox Linton took inspiration from its heritage, creating "an edgy, luxurious, 1920s Art Deco style," according to Lodi. The Jazz Lounge features a grand piano as its centrepiece, opulent dusty pink curtains and a glamorous beaded crystal screen, inspired by a 1920s Coco Chanel dress. As well as fine dining you can also still enjoy live jazz performances here every weekend. For more details of the line-up, visit liveatthewellesley.co.uk.
The walls of the lavish Crystal Bar are adorned with glass display cases containing the hotel's impressive whisky, cognac and Armagnac collections, including a couple of extremely rare bottles from 1770, which you can sample for £4,000 a shot. Meanwhile, at the intimate Oval Restaurant, which caters to a maximum of 28 diners, the intricate inlaid marble floor was inspired by an elegant luxury sunburst clutch by Judith Leiber.

I'm running Zimbra 8.8.9 and I'm trying to rate limit the number of messages that a single user can send over smtp after authenticating with smtp-auth. The purpose is to limit the damage in case one of the passwords of my users is guessed/obtained by a spammer.
Zimbra ships CBPolicyD (www.policyd.org) as part of zimbra-mta package, but it's disabled by default.
I couldn't find a step-by-step example of how to setup the rate limiting using policyd webui and the interface is far from intuitive to use.
How do I have policyd count emails sent by each account and rate limit them?
Take appropriate steps to secure the web interface.
Go back to http://zimbra.domain.tld:7780/webui/policy-main.php and select the new 'smtp-auth-limit' policy then choose Action "Change". Set "Disabled" to "No" and submit.
Now go back to http://zimbra.domain.tld:7780/webui/policy-main.php again, select 'smtp-auth-limit' again and choose action "Members".
Now be careful click on "Back to members" not "Back to policies" or you'll get lost.
If you were careful, select the line with Source "$*" and choose Action "Change".
If you were not careful, go back to http://zimbra.domain.tld:7780/webui/policy-main.php choose "smtp-auth-limit" policy, Action "Members", select the line with Source "$*" and choose Action "Change".
Set "Disabled" to "No" and submit.
Go back to http://zimbra.domain.ltd:7780/webui/quotas-main.php and select the 'smtp-auth-limit' policy, choose Action "Change". Set Disabled to "No" and submit.
Go back once again to http://zimbra.domain.ltd:7780/webui/quotas-main.php and select 'smtp-auth-limit' policy, choose Action "Limits".
Now be careful, you know the drill, click on "Back to quota limits" or you'll get lost. Select the line with Counter Limit = 200 then choose Action "Change". Set Disabled to "No" and submit.

Could Rival Schools: United by Fate have been more successful on Dreamcast?
By Gaming Hearts Collection November 6, 2018
Leave a Comment on Could Rival Schools: United by Fate have been more successful on Dreamcast?
When it comes down to underrated fighting games for the PS1 back in the 90's there is no question that Rival Schools: United By Fate is one that is on top of the list of many retro gamers who grew up during that decade. As innovative as Rival Schools: United By Fate was for the PS1 the game was overshadowed by various 3D titles that were released between '96-'99 such as Tekken 3, Mortal Kombat 4, Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha and others. Some would argue that Rival Schools: United By Fate could have stood out more on the Sega Dreamcast especially since Soul Calibur was only major 3D fighting title on that console during the late 90's.
But as we all know the PS1 was a more popular game console than Sega Dreamcast was during the late 90's and Capcom was clearly more interested in making more titles for Sony's 32-bit console back in the day. In theory, Rival Schools: United By Fate could have definitely stood out more on the Sega Dreamcast but it's hard to say whether or not it could have stood out or even sold more than it did on the PS1.
