November Spending Up
By Sue Chan
November 18, 2002 / 7:28 PM / CBS
Consumers — the lifeblood of the economy — showed a burst of holiday cheer and ratcheted up their spending by 0.5 percent in November, the biggest increase in four months.
The sizable gain in spending followed a solid 0.4 percent increase in October, the Commerce Department said Monday. The report reinforced the belief among economists that consumers will keep their pocketbooks and wallets open wide enough to prevent the economic recovery from fizzling.
The 0.5 percent spending increase registered in November was slightly stronger than many analysts were predicting. They were forecasting a 0.4 percent advance.
Americans' incomes — including wages, interest and government benefits — rose by 0.3 percent in November for the fourth month in a row. That also was a bit stronger than the 0.2 percent increase in incomes that analysts were expecting.
Kurt Barnard of the Barnard Retail Consulting Group in Montclair, N.J., wasn't impressed.
"The numbers from November really reflect a great consumer caution," he told CBS Radio News.
That's not surprising, Barnard said.
"The American consumer today is jittery, jittery about jobs. People who have jobs feel that there is a very real possibility that they might be laid off," he said.
John Hurst, president of the Massachusetts Retailers Association, expects a stronger shopping season than last year.
"When the books are closed, this year will be up over the prior year — not by much but certainly by the rate of inflation," he told CBS Radio station WBZ-AM in Boston.
"Clothing seems to be doing very well — that's been up and down over the last few years — and a lot of the electronics seem to be doing well."
Consumers — whose spending accounts for two-thirds of all economic activity in the United States — have been the main force carrying the economy all year.
The 0.5 percent advance in spending marked the largest increase since July.
So far this year, consumer spending has been supported by a number of factors. They include: low interest rates, zero percent financing offers, rising home values and extra cash left from a flurry of home mortgage refinancing. Those factors have been offsetting negatives one including the turbulent stock market and a stagnant job market.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, in a speech last week, said that a backlog of home mortgage refinance applications suggests "continued significant refinancing originations and cash-outs into the early months of 2003."
Greenspan also said that although consumer debt is high, households are managing that debt well.
"As a consequence of low interest rates, the servicing requirement for that debt relative to homeowners' income is roughly in line with the historical average," Greenspan said, adding that consumers' debt burden, therefore, is "not a significant cause for concern."
In November, consumer spending on "durable" goods, such as cars and appliances, jumped by 1.5 percent, the biggest gain since August 2000. November's increase also marked a turnaround from the 1.4 percent decline in spending on durable goods recorded in October.
On "nondurable" goods, such as food and clothing, spending rose by 0.4 percent, down from a 0.8 percent increase in October.
And, spending on services went up 0.4 percent in November, following a 0.5 percent gain.
Americans' disposable, or after-tax, income rose 0.4 percent in November for the fourth month in a row.
With spending outpacing income growth, the nation's personal savings rate — savings as a percentage of after-tax income — dipped to 4.3 percent in November from 4.4 percent in October.
The Federal Reserve, keeping an eye on the economic recovery, decided to hold interest rates at a 41-year low of 1.25 percent at its meeting earlier this month, after slashing rates by a bold half-point at its previous meeting in November.
By keeping rates low, Fed policy-makers hope consumers will be inclined to keep spending and businesses to ramp-up investment, forces that would bolster economic growth.
Many economists believe the Fed will keep rates at that low level at its next meeting in late January.
The economy — knocked out by last year's recession — has been struggling this year to get back to full throttle. Economic growth has been uneven all year, displaying a seesaw pattern. While consumers have been doing their part to keep the economy going, businesses have not.
Companies worried about economic uncertainties, including a war with Iraq and feeling profits pinched, have been reluctant to make big commitments in new investment and in hiring, forces restraining the recovery.

Fired Florida COVID data scientist arrested: "Censored by the state"


Tagaytay, officially and commonly called Tagaytay City, (Filipino: Lungsod ng Tagaytay), is a component city in the province of Cavite, in the Philippines. It is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations because of its outstanding scenery and cooler climate provided by its high altitude. Tagaytay overlooks Taal Lake in Batangas and provides views of Taal Volcano Island in the middle of the lake through various vantage points situated in the city.
Tagaytay is relatively close to the capital city of Manila, only 59 kilometres (37 mi) away via Aguinaldo Highway, providing an easy escape for the locals from the heat of the huge metropolis.
Tagaytay has a total land area of 66.1 km2 (26 sq mi) which represents about 4.37% of the total area of the Province of Cavite. It lies within 120° 56' longitude and 14° 6' latitude and overlooks Manila Bay to the North, Taal Volcano and Lake to the south and Laguna de Bay to the east.
The southern and eastern portions of Tagaytay are covered by hills and mountains which is generally forests and open grasslands. The city lies along Tagaytay Ridge, a ridge stretching about 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Mount Batulao in the west to Mount Sungay (now People's Park in the Sky) in the east with elevations averaging about 610 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level. Mount Sungay, in Tagaytay, is the highest point of the province of Cavite at 709 metres (2,326 ft).
The ridge, which overlooks Taal Lake in Batangas province, is the edge of Taal Caldera. The 25-by-30-kilometre (16 mi × 19 mi) wide cavity is partially filled by Taal Lake. Tagaytay's built-up areas including the urban center is situated in the relatively level top of the caldera rim but beyond the edge are deep ravines that drop steeply to Taal Lake. The portions adjoining the municipalities of Mendez, Indang, Amadeo, Silang and Alfonso are level to nearly level areas interspersed with very gently sloping surface. Across the southern edge of the lake on the opposite side of the city is Mount Macolod, the highest point of the Taal Caldera rim.
Tagaytay has a more moderate version of a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification: Am) characterized by relatively milder temperatures compared to Manila, lower humidity and abundant rainfall. The city has an average temperature of 24 °C (75 °F). With its high elevation, the city could be misty at times and is relatively cooler during the months of December, January and February. Like most areas in the province of Cavite, the city has two pronounced seasons: dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year. The climate has made the city ideal for sports, picnics, conferences, honeymoons, country homes, and spiritual retreats.
Tagaytay has an average humidity of 78% which makes the city cooler than Metro Manila where relative humidity exceeds 81%. Northeasterly winds prevail in the City from October to April. Winds come from southwest from May to September. The cool Tagaytay breeze has made the city ideal for casual and competitive kite flying.
Tagaytay is administratively subdivided into 34 barangays.
Legend has it that the word Tagaytay came from "taga" meaning to cut and "itay" which means father. A father and son were said to be on a wild boar hunt when the animal they were chasing turned and attacked them. As the boar charged towards the old man, the son cried "taga itay!". The boy's repeated shout reverberated in the alleys of the ridge. Heard by the residents, hunters and wood gatherers, the cries became subject of conversation for several days in the countryside. In time, the place where the shouts came from became known as Tagaytay.
"Tagaytay", however, is Tagalog for "ridge".
During the Philippine revolution of 1896, the ridges and forests of Tagaytay became the sanctuary for revolutionaries including those from nearby provinces. The passage to and from towns via Tagaytay added the word "mananagaytay" to the native's vocabulary. It means "to traverse ridges."
On February 3, 1945, the 11th Airborne Division of Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger's 8th Army performed a combat jump of the 511th Parachute Infantry Regiment and associated elements on the ridge, with a drop zone around the Manila Hotel Annex, which had been cleared of Japanese forces by Filipino soldiers of the 4th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 45th and 46th Infantry Division of the Philippine Commonwealth Army, 4th Infantry Regiment of the Philippine Constabulary and recognized guerillas. To commemorate this event, a marker was installed in 1951 at the junction of Silang, Canlubang-Nasugbu roads by the city officials in coordination with the National Historical Institute of the Philippines.
Tagaytay became a chartered city with the passing and signing of Commonwealth Act no. 338 by President Manuel L. Quezon on January 21, 1938, as authored by Rep. Justiniano Montano of Cavite. Like Trece Martires, it is a planned city, with segments created from the towns of Mendez, Silang and Amadeo.
In the 2015 census, the population of Tagaytay, was 71,181 people, with a density of 1,100 inhabitants per square kilometre or 2,800 inhabitants per square mile.
In the 2010 census, Tagaytay had a population of 62,030 people. Christianity is the majority religion of Tagaytayeños with Roman Catholicism as the most dominant sect compromising of 95.36 percent of the total population. The next prominent sect among residents of Tagaytay are Iglesia ni Cristo (3.37%) and Protestantism (1.07%). The rest of the population (0.20%) subscribes to other religions. Tagalog is the most dominant language in the city with 93.58% of the population speaking the language. The next prominent Philippine languages are Bicolano (1.52%), Ilocano (1.52%), and Cebuano (1.00%).
Despite rapid urbanization of Tagaytay, agriculture remains an important part of the city's economy and development. As of 2009, it is recorded that there is about 1,292 hectares (3,190 acres) of agriculture land which is about 20 percent of the city's total land area. The main agricultural goods produced are pineapple, coffee, banana, root crops, other fruits and vegetables, and cut flowers which are supplied to both local and international markets.
Tagaytay is considered to be the second Summer capital of the Philippines with the first being Baguio due to its cool climate thus is a favored destination from those relatively more humid areas of the Philippines. Tagaytay is also a popular destination for tourists seeking a panoramic view of Taal Volcano and the surrounding lake. In 2015, the Department of Tourism cites Tagaytay as the top tourist destination in the Calabarzon region through the years. Among the most visited sites in Tagaytay are the SM Sky Ranch Amusement Park, Ayala Malls Serin, Robinsons Summit Ridge, Picnic Grove Complex, People's Park in the Sky and Different choices of Restaurants like the famous Antiques Bar at Tagaytay Rotonda. Tagaytay's proximity to Metro Manila is attributed to the tourism in the city. Tagaytay receives seasonal influx of tourists during the Christmas season.
Tagaytay is linked by national highways to the Metro Manila area and to the provinces of Batangas and Laguna. Secondary roads link the city with the adjoining municipalities of Amadeo, Mendez, Indang, Silang and Alfonso in Cavite towards the northwest, and to the cities of Calamba and Santa Rosa in Laguna in the northeast and to the town of Talisay in Batangas in the south.
The South Luzon Expressway serves the city via Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road that passes Santa Rosa and Silang from Santa Rosa and Eton City-ABI-Greenfield Exits and Tagaytay-Calamba Road that passes Tagaytay Highlands and Calamba Premiere International Park from Batino Exit. Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX or formerly, Coastal Road) also serves Tagaytay via the southbound Aguinaldo Highway. The future expressway to Tagaytay is Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas Expressway (CTBEx) connects with the proposed Cavite-Laguna Expressway from CAVITEx-Kawit up to SLEx-Mamplasan. CTBEx and CALAx also connects with an interchange at Aguinaldo Highway in the future for easier travel of tourists coming from Metro Manila.
From Batangas, the main route to Tagaytay is either Ligaya Drive, a winding road that starts near the poblacion of Talisay and ends near the Tagaytay Picnic Grove, or Talisay-Tagaytay Road, a 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) road from Lemery-Agoncillo-Laurel-Talisay Road to Tagaytay Rotunda. From Laguna, the main route is the Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road from Santa Rosa City and the another route is Tagaytay-Calamba Road (via Tagaytay Highlands) from Calamba Premiere International Park at Calamba City.
There are daily public buses that ply the route to Tagaytay from Manila. Several bus companies have their terminals in Cubao, EDSA, Pasay, and at Baclaran, beside Coastal Mall Integrated Provincial Bus Terminal below LRT, Manila. Jeepneys that ply from Cavite (Imus City, Dasmariñas City, Silang) to Nasugbu, Batangas also pass by Tagaytay via the Aguinaldo Highway.

Mixtyp.es' experimental workshop invites participants of all ages and backgrounds to create personal letters by exploring diverse supports and mediums. Participants may also download existing letters from the project Web site, modify them and upload the new created letter forms. The intention is to explore to which degree individual letters, made by people that are most of the time not trained for it, can be used in a complete alphabet and therefore create semiotic meaning. The open culture idea is supposed to be investigated, meaning that this project is only enabled through the co-creation of participants that are invited by diverse mediums, such as the project Web site or the experimental workshop. By using a provided template, by reusing existing creations and by mixing or applying the created letters on the project web site all participants become type designers. Eventually, the final work depends on everyone else.


The last time I went to the doctor, I was handed a stack of paperwork and prompted to update my medications. All my usual prescriptions were already on file, but I paused to consider whether I really needed to itemize every single supplement in my medicine cabinet. Did it matter that I took the occasional probiotic or cranberry extract, that I was semi-regularly taking vitamin D or that I'd recently popped a melatonin during a bout of sleeplessness?
My long mental list of supplements felt absurd to me, but I'm not an anomaly. Seventy percent of adults between the ages of 18 and 34 use supplements, according to a 2016 survey by the Council for Responsible Nutrition. That's up from 65 percent in 2015.
Millennials in particular are embracing alternative medicine, whether or not it's entirely rooted in science. Amy Gorin, a dietitian nutritionist, says a growing number of her clients are curious about the benefits of supplements like probiotics and omega-3s for preventive reasons. Whether they discuss those supplements with their primary care doctors is another question.
Not convinced? Here are a few reasons to be open and honest the next time you're updating your paperwork in the waiting room.
One of the most important reasons to be candid about your supplements is to help your doctor identify potentially dangerous drug interactions. Herbal supplements may seem innocuous, but many have drug interactions worth knowing about.
The herb fenugreek, for example, can adversely affect diabetes medications and anticoagulants. Calcium supplements may decrease absorption when taken with medication for osteoporosis. And in a 2014 study, the anticoagulant warfarin was shown to interact negatively with a slew of common herbal supplements, including cranberry, chamomile and grapefruit.
Supplements can also decrease the effectiveness of your medications. If you add a green tea extract to your regimen and then your doctor prescribes Ambien for insomnia, the caffeine in the green tea might counteract the sleep-inducing effects of the Ambien.
In some cases, drug interactions can even be life-threatening. "There actually are fatalities associated with people taking St. John's wort especially and having organ transplants rejected, and the patient ultimately dies because of that," said D. Craig Hopp, deputy director of the division of extramural research at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.
You should also discuss your supplements with your anesthesiologist before undergoing any surgery or medical procedure, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Garlic, ginkgo and ginseng, for instance, can increase the risk of bleeding with anesthesia, and sleep and anxiety aids like valerian and kava can increase or prolong the effects of anesthesia.
If you start your day with a supplement cocktail, it's easy to overdo it inadvertently; you could be consuming too much of a particular vitamin, mineral or herb. That excess can lead to minor (but still unpleasant) side effects, like nausea from too much zinc or vitamin C, or more serious consequences like vitamin D toxicity.
High quantities of supplements can also skew blood tests. The FDA recently warned that high doses of biotin, also known as vitamin B7— a vitamin commonly found in hair, skin and nail growth supplements, multivitamins and prenatal vitamins — can botch the results of certain diagnostic tests. The FDA has reported at least one known fatality after a patient's high biotin levels led to a false low result during a test for troponin, a biomarker that helps diagnose heart attacks.
Many patients think of supplements as harmless add-ons that promote wellness rather than "real" medications, Hopp says. That mindset often leads people to underestimate the impact of the pills or tinctures they're using.
All products, even ones labeled "natural" or those that come from plants, have the potential to cause irritation, Hopp says. Products in the daisy family, such as chamomile and butterbur, have a particularly high propensity to cause allergic reactions in people with certain plant sensitivities.
It's not only oral medications that fall under the umbrella of "supplements." You'll sometimes find supplements in energy bars, teas or other drinks, and Hopp says to be careful with any products you apply topically, like essential oils or CBD lotions and creams. The National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy cautions that some essential oils should be diluted prior to application to avoid skin reactions.
With around 30,000 different supplements on the market, Hopp says it's unlikely that your doctor will have an encyclopedic knowledge of every nut oil, flavonoid and botanical extract. But your doctor should be familiar with some of the most common products and be able to point you in the right direction for more information.
You can do research on your own with the help of the NCIH's HerbList app, which has a searchable database of popular herbal supplements, including detailed information about drug interactions, side effects and each herb's effectiveness. You can also look up potential interactions in the National Medicines Comprehensive Database or the Drugs Interactions Checker at Drugs.com.
The next time you go the doctor, Hopp suggests bringing your supplements along. (Alternatively, if you have an overflowing medicine cabinet like me, snap photos on your phone of each supplement label.) That way, your doctor can see exactly what you're taking and in what quantities. It might feel like overkill to dump out a tote bag of supplements in the exam room, but the more information you can offer your provider, the better.
"You never know what information is going to be important," Hopp said. "Disclosing all the information that you can when you go to your doctor might save your life one day.


Clement Levallois: My Five Favorite NetBeans IDE Features!
Continuing a series of articles focusing on NetBeans users and their five favorite NetBeans IDE features, here's the next part, by Clement Levallois. -- NetBeans team.
Clement Levallois (GitHub, Web, Work) is an Assistant Professor at EMLYON Business School in Lyon, France. His initial education was in social sciences and the humanities, while he has a PhD in the history of science.
He shifted to data-intensive research topics around 2009 and learned Java at this time to be able to contribute to Gephi. Ever since, he's been hooked on Java, Gephi, and NetBeans. A project he's working on for 2015 is to develop a course for non coders, that is, business students, on how to create an Android app with NetBeans.
What are your five favorite NetBeans features?
Robustness. Coding needs all my attention, so my development environment should help structure my work without standing in the way.
NetBeans is perfect for that. It just works. It never freezes, and it never bothers with exceptions, and I don't need to fix it. I take that for granted now and that is why I would not be able to change NetBeans for another development environment.
Then, once I learn how the process really works, I can choose to continue using NetBeans shortcuts or start coding things for myself for greater flexibility. I learned how to use REST web services in this "click and point" manner.
Hints suggested in the margin remain live savers. For example, I like to be reminded when the type of a variable is probably incorrect or to be suggested a useful code refactoring, such as converting a "for loop" to an Iterator in one click, when I need to remove an item from a collection.
Rich client platform. I am part of the community developing Gephi, a free and open source software to visualize graphs.
NetBeans greatly facilitates this process of creating plugins.
It also assists in distributing them to any user who has installed Gephi. Updates are even delivered automatically to our clients!
Java EE rocks in NetBeans IDE. For example, you can debug a client and multiple servers at the same time.
I am currently developping a plugin for Gephi running on the NetBeans Platform, coupled with two WARs on Glassfish and one on Tomcat. It could have been a nightmare of complexity to debug this environment. But I test all of that locally in NetBeans and it works great. With debugging, I can follow the execution of the code step by step back and forth between the client and the two servers. No glitches at all.
JSF 2, together with PrimeFaces, works great for that, and again they are perfectly integrated in NetBeans IDE. That's a one click setup and there are many code generation helpers and hints when needed.
Fancy but really important is that I can just plug my my own Android mobile phone into my laptop and choose it as a web browser to deploy a web page on. Realtime testing of a responsive design, hurray!
Contribute to this series! Do you and your colleagues also want to share your team's favorite NetBeans features with the world? Write to netbeans dot webmaster at gmail dot com.

Japan suspends entry conditions for athletes until end of January as COVID-19 cases rise in Tokyo
Liam Morgan
The Japanese Government has reportedly suspended entry conditions for athletes and team officials travelling from countries to have reported cases of the new variant of coronavirus.
According to Kyodo News, Japanese athletes and those with residency in the country will have to quarantine for 14 days if arriving from countries including Britain, France, Italy and South Africa.
The halting of the entry condition will be in place until at least the end of January, Kyodo News reported.
Foreign nationals, including athletes, have been banned from entering Japan before the end of next month under a measure imposed by the Government because of concerns over the new variant, which is thought to be 70 per cent more transmissible than other strains.
Fears over the spread of coronavirus have heightened in Tokyo in recent weeks and the capital today reported more than 1,000 daily COVID-19 cases for the first time.
There were 1,337 new cases in the Olympic and Paralympic host city today, according to Kyodo News.
The number of nationwide infections has also exceeded 4,000 for the first time.
The spread of the new variant will increase concern over whether the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games can go ahead in the event's rescheduled slot in 2021.
Organisers and the International Olympic Committee have insisted the Olympics will open as scheduled on July 23.
Should they take place as planned, the Games will be held under a series of COVID-19 countermeasures designed to limit the risk posed by the novel coronavirus.
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics are scheduled to run from July 23 to August 8, with the Paralympics due to follow from August 24 to September 5.

The University of Alabama's Manderson Graduate School of Business's case team program continues to roll in victories. At the 16th Annual Race & Case Competition on March 1-2, hosted by the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business, the team finished third and collected $2,000. Manderson is within UA's Culverhouse College of Business.
Case competitions are invitation-only events where students tackle a complex business scenario and present a solution to two separate panels of judges. This year at Race and Case, participants were asked to recommend breakthrough opportunities that would allow Western Union to accelerate its growth potential in the global money transfer business while taking into consideration the ethical and reputational implications of their recommendations. In addition, each team competed in a timed ski race held in Breckenridge.
UA team members are Bryonna Rivera Burrows of Atlanta; John Clary of Knoxville, Tennessee; Everette Dawkins of Mountain Brook; and Smith Hart of Independence, Virginia.
Eleven teams were selected to compete. Ninety percent of each team's total score comes from their presentation, and 10 percent comes from the race. For new skiers like Clary and Dawkins, this meant translating their analytical abilities to master Breckinridge's powder.
"Race and Case provides an opportunity for us to test our business case strengths while also competing in a fun and light-hearted athletic aspect that brings the best memories," said Burrows, team captain.
Quoc Hoang, case team adviser and director of experiential learning at the Culverhouse College of Business, encourages analytic evaluation and vibrant collaboration, which prepares teams for both the cases and the work force.
For more information about MBA Case Team, contact Quoc Hoang at qhoang@culverhouse.ua.edu or visit the Manderson website.

{ "256065": { "url": "/biography/Harsha", "shareUrl": "https://www.britannica.com/biography/Harsha", "title": "Harsha" ,"gaExtraDimensions": {"3":"false"} } }
Indian emperor
Alternative Titles: Harṣa, Harshavardhana
Harsha, also spelled Harṣa, also called Harshavardhana, (born c. 590 ce—died c. 647), ruler of a large empire in northern India from 606 to 647 ce. He was a Buddhist convert in a Hindu era. His reign seemed to mark a transition from the ancient to the medieval period, when decentralized regional empires continually struggled for hegemony.
The second son of Prabhakaravardhana, king of Sthanvishvara (Thanesar, in the eastern Punjab), Harsha was crowned at age 16 after the assassination of his elder brother, Rajyavardhana, and an encouraging "communication" with a statue of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. He soon made an alliance with King Bhaskaravarman of Kamarupa and warred against King Shashanka of Gauda, his brother's assassin. At first he did not assume the title of king but merely acted as a regent; after making his position secure, however, he declared himself sovereign ruler of Kannauj (in Uttar Pradesh state) and formally transferred his capital to that city. Though never defeating Shashanka, his large army waged incessant warfare for six years, conquering the "five Indies"—thought to be Valabhi, Magadha, Kashmir, Gujarat, and Sindh. His influence extended from Gujarat to Assam, but the area directly under his control probably comprised no more than modern Uttar Pradesh state, with parts of Punjab and Rajasthan states. He attempted to conquer the Deccan (c. 620) but was driven back to the Narmada River by the Chalukya emperor Pulakeshin II. Bringing most of the north under his hegemony, Harsha apparently made no attempt at building a centralized empire but ruled according to the traditional pattern, leaving conquered kings on their thrones and contenting himself with tribute and homage.
Harsha is known mainly through the works of Bana, whose Harṣacarita ("Deeds of Harsha") describes Harsha's early career, and of the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang, who became a personal friend of the king, though his opinions are questionable because of his strong Buddhist ties with Harsha. Xuanzang depicts the emperor as a convinced Mahayana Buddhist, though in the earlier part of his reign Harsha appears to have supported orthodox Hinduism. He is described as a model ruler—benevolent, energetic, just, and active in the administration and prosperity of his empire. In 641 he sent an envoy to the Chinese emperor and established the first diplomatic relations between India and China. He established benevolent institutions for the benefit of travelers, the poor, and the sick throughout his empire. He held quinquennial assemblies at the confluence of the Ganges (Ganga) and Yamuna (Jumna) rivers at Allahabad, at which he distributed treasures he had accumulated during the previous four years. A patron of men of learning, Harsha sponsored the chronicler Bana and the lyric poet Mayura. Himself a poet, Harsha composed three Sanskrit works: Nāgānanda, Ratnāvalī, and Priyadarśikā.
A period of anarchy, or at least a splintering of his empire, followed Harsha's death, with the later Guptas ruling over a portion of it.

Q: Creating a web client in Dart I'm starting with Dart, and I want to create an app to make http request to a web page
and maybe transform it to a chrome extension, all this with Dart.
The problem that i have it's that i don't know how to send a HttpRequest to this
page "http://www.1001tracklists.com/" to retrieve the html content and then organize
all the sessions in my app with html and css.
All what I have tried is to make a normal HttpRequest, but I receive an error due to a CORS request, and I don't have any idea how to solve the problems with the headers.

A: The server would be required to make modifications to incorporate CORS headers to allow remote requests to query resources from their server.
Most (all?) modern browsers automatically incorporate CORS and so any requests from them will automatically create an Origin: header in the request. If the receiving server does not have an Access-Control-Allow-Origin: header which will match your Origin, the request will fail.
An alternative may be to have a script on your server query the data and you poll your own server to fetch the data. See the CORS Specification for more details.

A: With chrome extensions you can bypass cors by simply stating the urls you need to access in your manifest. Look it up in chrome extensions. See: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions.html

A: You need to add CORS headers as above if you have control of your server side, or setup apache/nginx to do this for you as reverse proxies, or you need access to a CORS proxy server.
Have look here to see if this can help you.

Bach: Oh no, you didn't.
Remember that investigation of the Urban Renewal Authority?
Oh sure you do. It was only announced — yawn — five months ago. At the time, Mayor Steve Bach was hopping mad because a member of the Urban Renewal Authority embarrassed him in front of Council in regards to the Ivywild renewal project. So the mayor, using his appointment power over the state-sanctioned board, replaced a bunch of its members.
He also called an investigation of the Authority, pointing out that the Authority had recently asked him to approve a line of credit to cover their basic expenses, which he found an outrage. The Authority was also in default over bonds tied to the North Nevada Avenue renewal project.
Anyway, there was a lot of hoopla. And then ... nothing.
Well, apparently, the city is just about to wrap up its inquiry. City spokesperson Cindy Aubrey says results should be done soon. Bach and Council plan to discuss the findings privately — cleverly skirting Sunshine laws, we assume — before announcing them to the public.

A 'one of a kind' AC Cobra Mk2 with racing experience will head for sale with Aguttes auctioneers in September at a pre-war Grand Prix track south of Paris.
Last appearing on a race track in 2002 at the Spa Six-Hours, the AC Cobra Mk2 289 FIA, built by AC Cars Ltd in 1997, is eligible for all events on the historic racing calendar.
The car was built from the original drawings and specification, and the AC name is testament to the fact that the car is identical to the 1964 original, with aluminium bodywork and the Ford 4.7 litre 380bhp V8 engine with Weber carburettors.
Carroll Shelby made motorsport history with the Cobra Mk2 289 and his Shelby Competition team in 1964 and '65, which raced in the 'Viking Blue' colour that the Cobra going to auction proudly wears.
With a German registration this car is also road legal, and is estimated to sell for around €500,000 (£445,370) when it goes under the hammer on September 30.
The auction will take place at Autodrome de Montlhéry, host of the 1925 French Grand Prix and positioned 19 miles south of Paris.
Other highlights of the sale will include a race-experienced 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 and Ford Lotus Cortina, the rally-inspired Peugeot 205 Rallye, the best of Italy in the form of a Ferrari 550 Maranello and Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider, and McLaren's modern 675 LT supercar.
Last year's sale included the Lotus Eleven S2, which competed in the Le Mans Classic, and the 2003 Maserati 4200 Trofeo Light 'Spirit of Houston', which raced in the Daytona 24 Hours in its heyday.

Q: Density of primes in sequences of the form $a^n+b$ Suppose that someone proves that there exist a sequence (if that is not already known) of the form $a^n+b$ where $a \in \mathbb N \setminus \{1\}$ and $b \in \mathbb Z$ which has an infinite number of primes as its values.
Now let us define the set $S_k=\{1 \leq i \leq k: a^i+b\in \mathbb P\}$. Let us denote with $|S_k|$ the cardinality of $S_k$.

Do we have $\lim_{k \to \infty} \dfrac {|S_k|}{k} =0$?

In other words, even if there is no concrete example of the sequence of the form $a^n+b$ which has an infinite number of primes as its values can it be proven that the density of primes in such sequences always equals zero?

A: In the case of Mersenne primes $p=2^n-1$ it is known (by elementary factorisation) that the exponent $n$ is necessarily a prime. Therefore, in this special case $\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac{|S_k|}{k}=0$.
To the best of my knowledge the general case is not known.
The closest results in the literature that I am aware of are to be found in Hooley's book (Applications of sieve methods to the theory of numbers.
Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, No. 70. 1976)
[http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=404173]
As far as I remember, (without the book at hand), Hooley needs quite strong assumptions (one of these GRH) to say more. However, he studies the related cases of Cullen primes, $p=n 2^n+1$, and here he shows, unconditionally, that the corresponding limit is $0$. (This case is easier as one has more control over the distribution in residue classes).
There is some further work by Rieger (Rieger, G. J.
Über Primzahlen und dünne Folgen. Arch. Math. (Basel) 28 (1977), no. 6, 600–602. http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=447169 ).
The fact that there are very few results on this topic reflects the fact that such thin sequences lead to problems where current methods do not quite work.

Perhaps most valuable to Christians who yearn to walk God's path, the author offers valuable Bible interpretation and uses popular Holy Bible events to help illustrate how Christian youths and adults can overcome temptations in potential pitfalls in today's world.
Paul vs. James
What We've Been Missing in the Faith and Works Debate
Written by: Chris Bruno, Douglas J. Moo - foreword
Put James and Paul next to each other and some tough-to-answer questions come up. Paul says we're saved by faith alone, not works - and James seems to say the opposite. If you've been around the church for a while, you probably know enough to say "the right thing" if someone asked about these verses. But would your answers hold up to scrutiny? If pressed, would you know what to say? Dive into the life stories of both apostles, learn more about the context of their letters, and discover the truth about the shared message they both proclaimed.

Still More Not the Parables of Jesus
Revised Satirical Version (Not the Bible)
Written by: John Spencer
Narrated by: John Spencer
What if the parables weren't how you remembered? Would it help you see what you'd always missed? Still More Not the Parables of Jesus contains one last bunch of 40 satirical takes on the original parables to snap us out of our over-familiarity and open our eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Often fun, sometimes poignant, and occasionally painful; these parables reveal our cultural biases, hidden assumptions, and the lies we believe.
Book of Mark, King James Bible
Alexander Scourby was the first to record the King James Bible on audio in the early 1950s. Since then millions have been sold the world over. Although many have recorded the Bible over the years, no one could ever match Scourby's unparalleled and majestic reading. The combination of Alexander Scourby reading the King James Bible is an incomparable hearing experience. The Chicago Tribune wrote that "Alexander Scourby has the greatest voice ever recorded."
Prayer Warriors Time to Testify!
Gather as Saints at the Feet of Jesus Christ: How to Pray in the War Room 1st Peter
Written by: Glenn Langohr
Narrated by: Glenn Langohr
God's son, our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ chose Peter, an outspoken and rough fisherman. The Lord prophesied that he would build the church on Peter and that he would be crucified.

We will see how Peter's belief was transformed into a be-live it in 2nd Peter 1, where he understands that God's prophetic word is trustworthy.

Not What You Think not only blows the dust off dated misperceptions of this ancient book, it engages the problems of the Bible head-on - the parts that make modern readers squeamish, skeptical, and uncertain. Join Michael and Lauren as they explore the nature of the Bible - an ancient mosaic of story, literature, history, and poetry - and what it means for this generation and its relationship with God.


The state constitution may require that virtually all of it would go to K-12 schools and community colleges, be used to pay down debts, or be diverted into reserves.
However, advocates of health and welfare services for the poor, an earned-income tax credit for low-income workers, and higher education have been agitating for a share of the bounty and have support from Democratic legislators.
Those Democrats are hoping that revenue will be strong enough to accommodate at least some of their priorities.
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor says budget laws also could be manipulated to free up some of the extra money to satisfy those demands, but Gov. Jerry Brown shows no inclination to do so.
Taylor also has been warning that under some circumstances, not only would the constitution require virtually all of the money go to schools, reserves and debt reduction but that those commitments could even require cuts in other programs in the 2015-16 fiscal year and beyond.
All of these scenarios are kicking around in anticipation of what its denizens call – ungrammatically – the "May revise" next week.
That's when Brown will give the Legislature an amended version of the 2015-16 budget that he first proposed four months ago, including updated revenue numbers and his take on how they should be spent.
If the past is a guide, he and his budget team will minimize the revenue surge, maximize commitments to schools, reserves and debt repayment, and perhaps assign some of the new money to previous fiscal years under the state's complex "accrual" accounting system.
Brown has preached belt-and-suspenders prudence, warning legislators that making big new spending commitments could prove disastrous if the economy once again falters.
Brown clearly hopes to end his second governorship four years hence with the state's budget still in the black and just as clearly fears that another recession could undermine that hope.
The big surge in state revenue has another political dimension as well.
Were it to continue into 2016, it could undermine efforts of unions and other pro-spending groups to persuade voters to extend, or even make permanent, the temporary tax increases and impose other new taxes.

FOOD AWARENESS
ABOUT SHUMEI
Shumei
Jyorei. Purification of the Spirit.
"Unless you make others happy, you can never be happy yourself."
—Meishusama
"Jyorei" is a healing practice that means "purification of the spirit." Shumei's founder, Meishusama, developed Jyorei as a treatment for physical ailments.
Jyorei is a shared act involving two people, one who gives and one who receives. The person receiving Jyorei may experience a sensation of tranquility and well-being. The giver benefits by gaining a larger capacity for compassion and love for others.
Jyorei can be given to anyone at any place or time. All who wish to experience Jyorei are welcome at our centers.
Ms. Bejai Gillis lives in California, in the USA. In 2014 her beloved son underwent surgeries to remove a brain tumor. She kept sharing Jyorei with him and its light energy completely healed him. She says Jyorei is a divine blessing to people.
(Please click on the CC button and select the language for subtitles.)
Mr. & Mrs. Hohman live in Ohio, in the USA. Tom went to visit the Hohman's and to give Mr. Hohman Jyorei from outside his home. The light of Jyorei healed Mr. Hohman's case of Covid-19, in 2021. They hope the light of Jyorei will bring back love and peace to the world.
Dr. Fernando Guaman del Aguila thinks beyond medicine and integrates Jyorei into his medical practice in Brazil. During an emergency transfer of a COVID-19 patient in a life- threatening situation, he shared Jyorei until her dangerously low oxygen level miraculously improved.
Montri Aiem-Ong, a Thai Buddhist monk living in Japan, not only preaches at the temple but also shares Jyorei with anybody who is interested. He feels great purpose in bringing Jyorei together with Buddhist healing practices in order to provide communal healing to all.
Mr. Benjamin Austin is an Australian Paralympic champion swimmer. Upon retiring, he explored spiritual traditions from all over the world and ultimately came across the healing power of Jyorei. He witnessed its positive influence on his atheist father, who was suffering from cancer. He strongly believes that Jyorei can bring incredible blessings to everyone.
Mr. Marcelo De Souza was raised by his mother who was a healer and spent his young adult life as a Mormon Missionary in Brazil. Convinced by the incredible healing powers of Jyorei, he is now sharing and teaching Jyorei with his community in hopes of a better tomorrow for Brazil.
Mr Washitani went through a miraculous experience of battling severe nephrosis to being healed. The power of Jyorei, given to him by his mother, helped him return to a point where he is now enjoying a life filled with joy from his wife and daughter.
Ms. Nakashima is an experienced nurse in Japan. Her dedication as a nurse overlaps the boundary between medical and spiritual practices. When she shares Jyorei with her patients and fellow staff members, the entire hospital is embraced with light, harmony, and a healthy atmosphere.
Jyorei FAQ
How does Jyorei work?
Jyorei practitioners view spiritual clouds as the cause of sickness and unhappiness. These clouds are subtle impurities within our spiritual body that dull our awareness and damage our health. Jyorei removes spiritual clouds in the same way that light dispels darkness. Jyorei is transmitted first to the forehead, which primarily promotes spiritual purification, and then to the top of the head, which induces physical purification. There is no need for a Jyorei giver to diagnose the condition of the recipient, because the Light goes straight to the source of the problem.
Is it always good for everyone?
Yes. Jyorei, like prayer, is universally beneficial, as God's assistance is good for everyone. The Light of Jyorei purifies and uplifts, there are no negative side effects. Although we have not studied this subject scientifically, it appears to encourage homeostasis. Both overactive and underactive immune systems seem to benefit from Jyorei. It calms down those who are agitated and it rejuvenates those who are tired. Jyorei is good for body, mind, and spirit.
What is the difference between Jyorei and other forms of healing?
Many people claim that the energies of Jyorei and other forms of healing feel different from each other. Some sessions can last up to an hour or so, whereas Jyorei sessions usually last only five minutes. Other healing modalities may incorporate complex techniques and procedures, whereas Jyorei is essentially simple, with an emphasis placed on love and gratitude. The Jyorei giver does not try to control the energy or the outcome of the healing session but instead just allows the Light to shine through.

Home / Style / Watches / Watch News / RJ-Romain Jerome Unveils Latest Watch Collections
By Chris | October 8 2013
Luxury watchmaker RJ-Romain Jerome creates the watches of the new horological era. The collections are far more than just astonishing watches: they define a new era in watchmaking.
Air, earth, sea: RJ-Romain Jerome offers the raw energy of imagination to those who are capable of nurturing their most secret dreams.
Whether through recovering steel from the Titanic or from the Apollo 11 space shuttle, mingling silver with moon dust or sculpting volcano lava, RJ-Romain Jerome asserts its iconoclastic spirit and electrifies tradition by celebrating contemporary legends. Its approach is characterised by a blend of raw character and elaborate refinement, drawing as much on the roar of an erupting volcano as on the writings of H.G. Wells.
Moon Orbiter, a timepiece light-years apart from conventional watchmaking
In a fresh tribute to the conquest of space, RJ-Romain Jerome presents an exceptional model equipped with a Manufacture movement: a flying tourbillon featuring a unique three-dimensional architecture.
With its generous 49mm wide, 45mm long and 20mm thick dimensions, the Moon Orbiter looks every inch a true sci-fi fantasy. Its imposing rectangular shape and its numerous special-shaped sapphire crystals create a striking effect: its bezel-free case combining watchmaking steel with elements from Apollo 11 is composed of an exclusive system of lugs mounted on pneumatic cylinders to ensure both wearer comfort and the smooth fit of the black alligator leather strap with pin buckle-fastening.
The hours and minutes are read off on an off-centred 3 o'clock counter on the right-hand side of the dial. The openworked hands are red-lacquered, while the 42-hour power reserve is displayed by a lacquered red cursor appearing on a separate subdial between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Everything is designed to highlight the flying tourbillon enthroned at 9 o'clock, on the left-hand side of the dial. The case has been literally built around the movement in such a way that no detail goes unnoticed.
Intergalactic mission with RJ-Romain Jerome and its spacecraft
RJ-Romain Jerome has unveiled its first pilot's watch: the Spacecraft. Stemming from the joint endeavours of Manuel Emch, Eric Giroud and Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, this new timepiece features a complication with its own discreet charm, combined with a pure, restrained design. Space pilots of the world, prepare for lift-off. The Spacecraft will carry you off on an intergalactic mission to explore uncharted territories.
In taking up this challenge, Manuel Emch, CEO of RJ-Romain Jerome, chose to associate with two of the top names in the watch industry: Eric Giroud and Jean-Marc Wiederrecht. The three men pooled their ideas and their creativity to give rise to a unique timepiece they named Spacecraft. Right from the first sketches, Manuel Emch and Eric Giroud imagined a very different type of product, combining retro-futuristic aesthetics and horological complexity.
"The design evolved in step with our discussions and our numerous exchanges. That is what makes it such a singular object," explains Eric Giroud. An unusual trapeze-shaped model featuring a black PVD-coated titanium case, the Spacecraft both surprises and intrigues. Its rectilinear profile and its facetted surface echo the aesthetic of spacecraft. A black rotating disc with a red indicator transferred on the sapphire crystal indicates the minutes on the top of the case, while the linear hour display is read off laterally, thereby giving time a whole new dimension.
RJ-Romain Jerome Celebrates the 'Día De Los Muertos'
Every year in Mexico, celebrations honouring the dead brighten up the whole country. Classified as part of UNESCO's "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" since 2003, the 'Día de los Muertos' is the most important date in the Mexican calendar.
RJ-Romain Jerome has decided to take its turn celebrating the Day of the Dead with a timepiece available in two different versions, both issued in 25-piece limited editions. Calling upon its watchmaking skill, RJ's inspiration for the dial of this watch dedicated to the 'Día de los Muertos' was drawn from traditional Mexican decorations. A carefully hand-crafted colourful applique adorned with a champlevé decoration, cold enamelled in different colours, emulates the look of the "calaveras" – the skulls made of sugar given away by the Mexicans as good luck tokens during the entire festival.
The seven colours on the applique are a reminder of the seven stages through which the soul of the dead must pass before being able to rest in peace. The case is made of black PVD-coated steel, associated with a bezel and "paws" in black ceramic. The mirror-polished dial features an engraving of the brand's emblematic X shape, along with the applied RJ logo. The watch is fitted with a black Hornback alligator strap. The sombre colours of these different elements evoke those of darkness and make a striking with the bright colours of the skull-shaped applique.
This way of perceiving death, tinged with light-hearted irony, is unique to the Mexican culture to which RJ-Romain Jerome is paying tribute. With this timepiece in homage to the "Día de los Muertos", the watchmaking Maison can also claim to have tamed death and thus made it a playmate.


A Canada visa application can be very difficult so it's easy to make a mistake during the process. Follow our top 5 tips to maximise your chance of success.
So much can go wrong with your Canada visa application. Strict deadlines, heaps of documentation, tests and qualifications, even the smallest error with any of these can cost you your entire application. We know it's very difficult to keep up with the ever-changing world of Canadian immigration.
Don't let the small things dash your dreams of a Canadian life. We have put together a list of 5 top tips guaranteed to improve your application's chance of success. Save your money, avoid mistakes and follow our advice. Let's get you to Canada.
You might not know this but there are over 60 different routes to Canada. Each of these pathways has specific requirements and eligibility criteria that need to be met if you would like to immigrate to Canada. Maybe you don't want to immigrate, maybe you just want to visit or experience a working holiday in the Great White North. If that is the case, getting to Canada may be easier.
Each visa allows you to do certain things in Canada and again, they each have particular requirements. Our advice for you is to take a look at all the options available to you and narrow them down to the programs that will enable you to satisfy your needs of travelling or immigrating to Canada.
Don't waste your time applying for a visa that doesn't allow you to do what you want to do in the country. Don't apply for a program that has very strict requirements when there is another easier to qualify for option available to you. In other words, make the right choice.
We can't stress the importance of an RCIC enough. Don't know what I am talking about? Basically, an RCIC or Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant is a professional immigration expert who has the legal authority to assist you with your Canada visa application.
RCICs can be trusted for their professionalism if they are registered with the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC). The council regulates the professionalism and credibility of RCICs. If you are wondering whether you can trust your RCIC, simply run their number through the ICCRC's registry to find out if they are in good standing with the council.
If you want to immigrate to Canada, then you will have to get to know the Provincial Nomination Programs (PNPs). Nearly all of Canada's provinces and territories have their own variation (with multiple subcategories) of this program.
Normally, PNPs enable provinces and territories to nominate people, who have the skill set and work experience needed in the province, to apply for permanent residence if they agree to living and working in the province for a certain amount of time.
There are a few different methods to follow in order to get nominated. One way is to get in contact with the province and express your interest of living there in order to be considered for nomination. Another way to get the attention of a province is to create a profile outlining your core human capital (language skills, work experience, education etc.) and hopefully, they will get into contact with you.
As always, each of the PNP programs and their various subcategories has specific requirements. You will need to get familiar with these in order to immigrate following this route. Luckily you can find all the information you need to succeed with your Canada visa application on our website here.
This tip is simple enough to understand, apply early. The earlier you apply the more time you have to fix any mistakes you might have made. If you rush to complete documentation in order to meet the strict deadlines of Immigration, Refugees Citizenship Canada (IRCC), you are likely to miss something or error in some other way. No one does well under that kind of pressure.
Many don't know this, but if you are interested in immigrating through Express Entry, you can also benefit from applying early. Just to remind you, Express Entry is a federal immigration program that boasts processing times of as little as 6 months.
During some Express Entry draws, the tie-break rule is used to determine who gets Invitations to Apply for permanent residence. Basically, when a certain number of invitations are issued and a bunch of people have the minimum CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score, then the people who entered the Express Entry pool first will be issued invitations. In this way, you will benefit from applying early.
Professional immigration consultancies must be up-to-date and experienced with all there is to know about Canadian immigration. It is their job to demystify all the confusion with immigration in order to make the process as smooth as possible for their clients.
Instead of suffering from the difference between forms IMM 533 and IMM 5644, let a real professional deal with it. With a professional consultant, you can let go of your stress and anxiety.
If you use our professional services at CanadianVisa.Org, we guarantee your application stands the best chance at success. This is because we know everything there is to know about Canadian immigration like the back of our hand. We have successfully immigrated thousands and we could do the same for you. Simply sign up with our services and we will take matters into our professional hands. Let's get you to Canada.

4 Ways to Teach Yourself Terminal Commands in Linux
Danny Stieben February 7, 2014 07-02-2014 4 minutes
If you want to become a true Linux master, having some knowledge of terminal commands is a good idea. Here are four different methods you can use to start teaching yourself.
A great way to gradually learn more about terminal commands is to have a "Tip of the Day" style message appear each time you open up the terminal. These messages can tell you about useful commands, as well as advanced tricks for certain commands you may already know. You can easily set this up by going into your .bashrc file (located at /home/<user>/.bashrc) and add the following to the end of the file on a new line:
echo "Did you know that:"; whatis $(ls /bin | shuf -n 1)
That's all you have to do! If you'd like to make it slightly more entertaining, you can make a cow say all of these tips. To do so, run the command sudo apt-get install cowsay for Ubuntu/Debian or sudo yum install cowsay for Fedora. Then, instead of the code above, add the following to your .bashrc file:
cowsay -f $(ls /usr/share/cowsay/cows | shuf -n 1 | cut -d. -f1) $(whatis $(ls /bin) 2>/dev/null | shuf -n 1)
Sadly, this doesn't work with all distributions, so your success with cowsay isn't guaranteed. However, this entire tip uses "whatis" on random commands, which we'll cover next.
Using "whatis"
If you don't want to learn random things, maybe you want to learn about commands you need to use right at that moment. To do this, simply prefix all of your commands with "whatis". The command should then be able to tell you piece by piece what the command consists of.
A great example whatis sudo yum install cheese, can be seen above. It tells you that sudo gives you administrative rights, yum is the package manager, install tells YUM to install a package, and cheese is the photo booth application you're wishing to install. It doesn't quite always work, especially on more complex or less common commands, but it's still worthwhile to try out if you want to learn what a command actually does.
View All Available Command Options
If you're using a new command, there are two good ways to take a detailed look at it. The first way is to run the command "man <program>", where <program> is the name of the program you're running. So, running "man cp" will tell you all there is to know about the cp command in the man file viewer.
A quicker way to learn the major parts of the command is to run "<program> –help", where <program> is the name of the program you're running. So, running "cp –help" will also tell you a good deal of info about the cp command, printed right to the terminal. In other words, –help is the only flag that doesn't have alternating meanings from program to program.
Crash Course – Yes, Now!
Lastly, you can learn something about command syntax…right here! Knowing the general syntax of terminal commands can help quite a bit in understanding all commands, so it's worth studying and understanding before you look at specific commands as examples.
All commands share the following structure: [sudo] program [parameter] [parameter] … [parameter] [-flag] [parameter] [-flag] [parameter] … [flag] [parameter]
Let me break down what the above structure means:
If a command requires administrative rights (known as root access), then they must be preceded with "sudo", which requires you to enter in your password before the command executes.
"program" is where the name of the application goes. Application names include yum, apt-get, cheese, tar, cp, mv, firefox, and much more. Unless additional configuration has been done, all programs that are accessible this way have an executable located in /usr/bin. This should apply to all installed applications on your system. For some applications, you just have to write it, and that's all. For example, you can just type "firefox" and hit Enter, and it'll launch Firefox.
Following the program, you can start using parameters and flags. This varies greatly from program to program. For example, the command "cp file1 file2" copies the file "file1" and saves it in the same location with the name "file2". Those are that command's two parameters. Some also take flags that modify its behavior – for example, the command "sudo yum install cheese -y" has "install" as a parameter to yum, "cheese" as a parameter to install, and "-y" as a flag to yum saying that it should assume yes for all instances where it would normally ask you if you'd like to continue. While this example doesn't show it, some flags don't require their own parameters, and some flags do. Each program has its own set of flags and meanings, which you'll learn over time through repetition.
Learning terminal commands really isn't that hard – once you get going and understand how they generally work and are structured, learning others will become a lot easier. If it doesn't make sense after a few hours, don't give up. Repetition is your best friend, and you'll start seeing the patterns eventually. From there, it's all about memorization through practice. We also have various other resources for learning commands, such as this Linux command cheatsheet, the 40 essential Linux commands An A-Z of Linux - 40 Essential Commands You Should Know An A-Z of Linux - 40 Essential Commands You Should Know Linux is the oft-ignored third wheel to Windows and Mac.

Hello Author Make Use Of
Please tell me name of your linux distribution and name of your terminal !
thank you in advance ! :)
Hello MAkeUSeOf i have two questions:
1)In which linux distribution you write this first command ?
2)What is the name of terminal you used ?
spending a lot of time on askubuntu and using man command before everything worked for me.
PlaGeRaN
True, if I'm struggling with command line I usually look for the program's forum site (cyanogen/git/askubuntu) most of the issue's I've faced were already answered.
Wantoo Sevin
This is a great idea and a great way to implement it! I'm going to try it out right now.
Also, it's so damned refreshing to see a tech journalist using Fedora and not, well...some other distribution. Not that any other distribution is bad, it's just refreshing to see a change.
So you simply wanna start to work full of adrenaline?
Have you considered that this means you are not the target group anyway.
I think it's a great Tip for people starting with Linux or the cli and just wanna play around a bit.
And I also hate Tips of the day
in programms I can grasp on my own.
Tip of the Day is intrusive, disruptive and unrelated to the reason I started CLI.
None of the 4 ways give examples of proper usage of the command and its options.
Chun Tat David Chu
You forget to mention about explainshell.com.
Danny S
Interesting website! Thanks for the tip!
This is quit a good idea for anyone new to *nix.
nalk
The first suggestion about the tip of the day is really not a good idea.
I open the terminal because I need to do a job "right now this second".
A tip of the day means my focus would have to shift from wanting to finish the job - "action mode", to "learning mode" which would require a major change of my adrenalin-levels.
My action modes and my learnig modes dont really work well together.
Besides, some Windows programs have a feature like that and nobody I know read those. They just mark them "dont show this at start up" and never see them again. They are more of a nuissance than a leaning aide much akin to the famous nag screens.
The way the Linux terminal uses tip of the day would make the tip "fade in to the background" after a very short while.
The cow thingy is only funny for about half a second.
Eh, some people don't like it, and others do. At least with doing it this way (if people wanted to), they're opting in to learn something rather than having to opt out of learning about something they don't care quite as much. It's a suggestion that some might find useful, but certainly not everyone. People should feel free to try any combination.
In order for the whatis command to work, one needs to make a whatis database first by entering "makewhatis"
Doing that might help to expand what whatis knows. I do agree that there's still a lot of things that it gets confused on.
