This can be the 3rd variation of a complete booklet overlaying all facets of perioperative and peripartum anaesthesia. past variations were rather well acquired (see reports of the 1st variants lower than) and this booklet builds on their good fortune to be a necessary buy for all trainee and training anaesthetists, in addition to offering a useful source for different medical institution and especially theatre-based group of workers reminiscent of surgeons, obstetricians, working division practitioners, theatre nurses, midwives and so on. The sections on scientific issues and anaesthestic difficulties, and on emergency stipulations coming up in the course of anaesthesia or the rapid postoperative interval were accelerated to incorporate over 30 new entries and infrequent and strange syndromes were included into those major sections for ease of fast reference. The e-book additionally encompasses a necessary checklist of abbreviations and a completely up to date appendix containing helpful addresses, phone numbers and site information.
Written via best American practitioners, the Oxford American Handbooks in medication each one supply a pocket-sized evaluation of a whole area of expertise, that includes fast entry to suggestions at the stipulations which are probably to be encountered. targeted and prescriptive, the handbooks provide up to date suggestion on exam, investigations, universal systems, and in-patient care.
Modern major gurus current the succinct, but thorough counsel you want to effectively keep away from or deal with issues stemming from pre-existing health conditions. geared up through ailment, the recent variation of this renowned advisor has been thoroughly revised and up-to-date to mirror the newest details on definition, present pathophysiology, major pre-, intra-, and postoperative components of the ailment approach, anesthetic judgment, and administration.
The main straightforward, clinically suitable review of the perform of anesthesiology present, concise, and engagingly written, Morgan & Mikhail's medical Anesthesiology, 5th version is a real crucial for all anesthesia scholars and practitioners. This relied on vintage can provide finished assurance of the field's must-know uncomplicated technology and medical themes in a transparent, easy-to-understand presentation.

5. The response to pressor agents is unpredictable (Birnbach 1998). 6. There may be delayed recovery from anaesthesia. 7. Overdoses of ecstasy produce hyperthermia, coagulopathy, rhabdomyolysis, rigidity, dilated pupils, cardiac arrest convulsions, coma, liver failure, and pulmonary oedema. Progressive muscle damage has been reported with maximum CK levels of 122 341 U l–1, which, unusually, did not occur until the 10th day (Murphy et al 1997). Amphetamine abuse the MAC for halothane and dogs subjected to chronic abuse had a poor response to indirectly acting sympathetic agents.
Anaesthetic problems 28 1. Anaesthesia is required for BAL, during which significant reductions in arterial oxygen saturation may be a problem (Bradfield & Maynard 1989). Gas exchange and haemodynamic parameters have been studied (Cohen & Eisenkraft 1990,Aguinaga et al 1991). When the lung is emptied, the PaO2 decreases, but increases in cardiac output result in the oxygen delivery being unchanged. 2. Cardiovascular changes. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) during BAL, under propofol and alfentanil infusions, showed a reduction in left ventricular filling when the lung was fluid filled, and this was accompanied by hypotension (Swenson et al 1995).

(NewsUSA) - Underage drinking levels are at historic lows, and one way to continue this trend is to prevent teens' access to alcohol. The We Don't Serve Teens campaign, first developed in 2006, is a community-level collaboration of alcohol suppliers, retailers and distributors working with parents and prevention groups to curb underage drinking.
Today, participating groups and organizations are voicing their commitment to the campaign and its important message that debuts a refreshed look and feel that is digitally modern, culturally inclusive and demographically diverse.
The We Don't Serve Teens campaign takes a united stance throughout communities nationwide: "Don't serve alcohol to teens. It's unsafe. It's illegal. It's irresponsible." Partners are encouraged to post messages against underage drinking in stores and restaurants, engage with the campaign online, hear messages on the radio and even include information on food and beverage delivery receipts. The materials will also serve as a reminder for families to have conversations at home about expectations, values and practice saying NO to underage drinking.
"Underage drinking has declined dramatically but remains a safety issue for teens that is often overlooked, disregarded, or takes a backseat to more pressing concerns," says Chris Swonger, President and CEO of Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) and Responsibility.org. "The We Don't Serve Teens campaign brings a critical mass of public and private entities together to spotlight underage drinking prevention. We have made a lot of progress over the years and fewer teens are drinking alcohol. By working together, we hope to make even more progress on this important issue."
In 1991, 80% of American teens had consumed alcohol at least once in their lifetime, but today, more than three out of five teens (64%) have never consumed alcohol (Monitoring the Future, 2021). Although this trend is positive, challenges to ending underage drinking remain. The availability of alcohol to those under the legal drinking age remains high with eight out of 10 high-school seniors reporting that it is easy for them to access alcohol. Working together, significant strides have been made in reducing underage drinking, but until it is eliminated, there is still work to be done, according to Responsibility.org.
"No retailer wants to sell alcohol to someone who is underage," says John Bodnovich, Executive Director, American Beverage Licensees. "Retailers are on the front lines in communities across the country -- we are proud to once again lead the effort to prevent underage drinking. We look forward to working with community partners as well as industry partners to keep alcohol out of teens' hands and stop underage drinking. Responsibility starts with us."
Visit WeDontServeTeens.org for more information or to participate in the campaign.

Are you in two minds about visiting a vegan fair? Maybe it involves travelling out of your way, or rearranging other plans? We're here to tell you exactly why you should visit at least one vegan fair this year – although there's a good chance you'll want more once you realize just how great vegan events are.
Vegan fairs are an excellent way to get introduced to companies you might never have come across otherwise. Some of our best vegan fair finds have come from companies we'd never even heard of – like this delicious vegan feta by Lettices. Some brands don't have their products stocked in mainstream stores, or trade mainly locally/online, so going to a vegan event is a great way to give them a try.
Vegan food can be expensive, and there's nothing worse than splashing out on a new type of vegan cheese/chocolate/fake meat, only to find that it's disgusting. Most traders at vegan events will have plenty of free samples on offer, so you can check that you like food before you purchase. It's a good idea to try as many samples as possible before you decide what to buy – you don't want to miss out on any gems at the end.
Attending vegan fairs is a great way for small businesses to get the word out about their products, and get feedback from customers. By purchasing from them, you're helping the business to grow and improve. Even if you don't buy from every stall, even picking up a flyer and giving the company a follow/like on social media can be a big help.
Vegan food is becoming more and more common in mainstream shops, but non-food items like clothing, toiletries and make-up can sometimes be harder to find. Vegan fairs are a great place to get hold of items like this, and you'll often find some really unique products. There's usually plenty of printed clothing available too, perfect if you like statement T-shirts and hoodies.
Vegan events can be an excellent place to meet like-minded people, particularly if you live in an area where veganism isn't very common. Most stallholders will be happy to chat, and many events designate areas specifically for connecting with others. VegFest London features a 'Teen Zone' and a 'Mature Zone', making it easy to meet similar people while taking part in fun activities. You could make a new best friend!
You'll find a really diverse range of talks and demos at most vegan events – there's usually something for almost everyone. We've seen talks on everything from vegan bodybuilding and healthy vegan diets to alternative healing and vegan activism. Cookery demos offer a great chance to pick up some new kitchen skills, and lessons on making your own vegan cheese are common.
Most vegan fairs are full of so many tasty lunch options that it can be hard to pick just one! Offerings will vary from event to event, but we've seen vegan pizza, vegan fish and chips, vegan hot dogs, vegan curries and more. Be sure to check outside the venue as well as inside, as food trucks often have some great offerings. Dessert options are usually plentiful as well, with cake, waffles, ice cream and froyo being some of the most popular.
Many vegan fairs are free to enter, particularly if they're small, local events. Many fairs offer a free goodie bag to the first X number of visitors through the door, so it can pay to arrive early. You'll often find freebies available on a number of stalls too, especially when a new company or product is being promoted.
Have we convinced you to visit a vegan fair this year?
If so, check out this list of 2017 UK vegan fairs for details of upcoming events.
It's also helpful to join vegan Facebook groups for your local area and follow your favourite vegan brands on social media to keep up with new event announcements.


This is part 1 of a 4-part miniseries on issues with WebAssembly and proposals to fix them. Part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here.
The difference between a stack and a register machine is essentially this: a stack machine pops values from and pushed values onto a stack, so for example a + operation will pop the last two values off of the stack, add them together, and then push the result back onto the stack. A register machine has some number of places where values can be stored, and operations reads and writes to those registers. So + will take 3 arguments, 2 that represent the registers to read the operands from and 1 that represents the register to write the result to1.
Are %0 and %1 used after the addition? Without lookahead, you have no way of knowing. Even in SSA2 register machines like LLVM IR (where each register is written to exactly once) the liveness of each register must be continuously recalculated. This means that you have overhead associated with compilation - knowing the liveness of variables is extremely important for generating efficient assembly, but instead of the liveness being calculated when creating the IR and stored as a part of it you have to recalculate this data every time.
If the IR is entirely in-memory this isn't so bad, especially if your code is in SSA form, but it means that you have to do extra work for the same quality of code and it means that a streaming compiler (like FireFox's Wasm baseline compiler) is unable to produce good code.
You can, of course, add liveness analysis metadata to the machine, but that liveness analysis is only useful if your code is in SSA form - if it's not SSA form then the liveness is extremely coarse-grained.
This is a problem. Usually a stack machine can be trivially converted to SSA form with liveness analysis - an item on the stack is dead when it is used as the argument to an operator - no ifs, no buts. Even a pick operator3 can be thought of in these terms as long as the argument to pick is a compile-time constant, although generally the SSA conversion of a stack machine that includes a pick instruction would be implemented using refcounting - meaning that reading a variable doesn't involve creating an unnecessary new one. However, locals are a problem. They're mutable, so you can't trivially convert them to SSA, and they always live for the lifetime of the function.
This poses a problem for optimisation. SSA form is one of the most powerful optimisation tools. The fact that locals are mutable defeats that, and the fact that they're global to the function defeats liveness analysis. For an example of why this is an issue, say you're trying to compile WebAssembly into some native architecture. You'll compile your code into one that uses some number of arguments in registers, but now unless you do your own liveness analysis on that function those registers are permanently marked "in use" by those arguments. Without extra analysis you don't know when the last usage of that argument is, and so you can't ever reuse the register used by that argument for something else. Even a function that never uses any of its arguments still can't reuse the space used by those arguments for anything else.
This essentially makes WebAssembly a register machine without liveness analysis, but not only that, it's a register machine that isn't even in SSA form - both of the tools at our disposal to do optimisation are unavailable. In a true, optimising compiler we can recreate that information, but WebAssembly was already emitted by a compiler that generated that information once. There's no technical reason why we should have to do that work again, it's just a deficiency in the language. A compiler that has to act on a stream of WebAssembly has less ability to recreate this information and will end up generating significantly worse code for essentially no good reason.
It's only by working on a streaming WebAssembly compiler for integration with Wasmtime that I realised these issues, as well as more issues that I'll get to in later articles in this series. Before then I considered WebAssembly's design to be utterly rock-solid, and in fact I still strongly believe that most of the decisions made were the right ones. Although it has problems, it's incredible how much the WebAssembly working group got right considering it was such relatively unknown territory at the time of the specification's writing.
So currently locals represent both function arguments and local variables. There is a proposal to allow blocks to have arguments and both functions and blocks to return more than one value. With this, it becomes possible to get rid of locals entirely. Loop counters are implemented by having the counter be given as an argument, and then when you jump to the header of the loop you must have the new value of the counter on the stack. This acts like a phi function but is much conceptually simpler. Since it's impossible to get the address of locals in WebAssembly there's no need for alloca in any form - unlike in LLVM, you don't need to have locals at all. The only thing left is to implement function arguments by having the function start with its arguments on the stack and you no longer need locals at all.
This massively reduces the complexity of the WebAssembly specification and compilers for it without reducing the expressivity, and allows the compilers generating the WebAssembly to encode more of their knowledge about the original source into the WebAssembly itself. Although optimising compilers will probably not generate better code from this, they will become much simpler and easier to maintain, and streaming compilers will become significantly simpler and produce significantly better code.
Finally, not only is a stack machine like this automatically in SSA form, but it's automatically in strict SSA form. This means that it is statically impossible to access undefined variables. In WebAssembly as it exists now, you have to zero locals when entering a function unless you can statically prove that the local is always set before it is accessed. Again, the compilers almost always have this information, and removing locals makes accessing undefined memory statically impossible.
Join me next time where I tackle WebAssembly's problematic control flow.

John Anthony Frusciante (New York, 1970. március 5. –) a Red Hot Chili Peppers rockegyüttes egykori, majd jelenlegi gitárosa, mivel 2019 decemberében az együttes bejelentette, újra csatlakozik hozzájuk. A Rolling Stone által megnevezett három Modern Guitar God egyike és a BBC6 Axe Factor választása szerint Az utóbbi 30 év legjobb gitárosa, napjaink egyik legtehetségesebb, legsokoldalúbb gitárosa, zeneszerzője, előadója.

A kezdetek

Apja, idősebb John régebben zongorista volt, később ügyvéd, aztán bíró a helyi bíróságon. Édesanyja, Gail, tehetséges énekes (ő vezeti a befejező énekkórust az Under the Bridge című számon) de végül háziasszonyként élt, amikor férje karrierje fordulóponthoz érkezett.

Családjával Queensben élt, mielőtt az arizonai Rucsonba költöztek volna, azután Floridában éltek egy évig. Ezalatt az idő alatt John szülei elváltak. Ennek eredményeképpen John az anyjával a kaliforniai Santa Monicába költözött. 9 éves korában nagy hatással volt rá a gördeszka, a kaliforniai zene nagy képviselőivel együtt mint pl.: Kiss, Aerosmith és különösen a Germs, akinek a számait egy évvel később már gitáron játszotta.

11 évesen veszi az első gitárleckéjét, majd anyjával és mostohaapjával Mar Vistába költözik. Emellett Johnt rengeteg új zenei hatás éri. Ezentúl Jimmy Page-et, Jeff Becket, Jimi Hendrixet (akinek a hatása a mai napig érezhető gitár játékán) és Frank Zappát hallgat főként miközben zenei stílusukra és technikájukra koncentrál leginkább. Mikor 14 éves lett felveszi első négy számból álló albumát. 17 évesen otthagyja az iskolát és Los Angelesbe költözik. Ebben az időben óriási hangsúlyt fektet a gitárjátékra, 10-15 órát gyakorol naponta. Jelentkezik Zappa meghallgatására, aki új gitárost keres, de várakozás közben meggondolja magát, és elmegy, mert úgy gondolja hogy nem lenne képes helyt állni.

1988-ban John a fekete bőrű dobossal, DH Peligróval jamel, aki jól tudja, hogy a fiatal Frusciante már 15 éves kora óta Red Hot Chili Peppers-rajongó, aki kívülről tudja az összes gitár és basszusgitár témát, s néha még barátjainak is kifizeti a belépőjegyet a koncertekre, csak hogy ők is részesedjenek a RHCP zenéjéből. Peligro így aztán meghívta barátját, Flea-t, a Peppers basszusgitárosát egy közös zenélésre. Flea-re óriási hatással van Frusciante, ebből az első jamelésből született a későbbi Mother's Milk albumra is felkerült Pretty Little Ditty c. szám, melynek riffjével később a Crazy Town nevű együttes is világhírűvé vált. 1988 nyarán herointúladagolásban meghalt a RHCP addigi gitárosa, Hillel Slovak, Flea-nek pedig kézenfekvő volt, hogy a legjobb választás a 18 éves, azonban külsőre és stílusra is kísértetiesen hasonló Frusciante lesz.
A fiatal gitáros bevallása szerint, az a pillanat volt a legtisztább, legőszintébb boldogság, amit egész életében valaha is érzett, amikor megtudta, hogy bekerült élete első zenekarába, a Red Hot Chili Peppersbe.

Munkássága

Mother's Milk – az első lemez

Nem sokkal Frusciante bemutatkozása után, 1989-ben elkészült a RHCP 4. stúdiólemeze, a Mother's Milk, melyen végig John gitározik, s bemutatkozott a zenekar új dobosa, Chad Smith is. Noha ekkor még Frusciante stílusát nagyban befolyásolta elődje, Hillel Slovak játéka, új ötleteiből és gitártémáiból olyan slágerek születtek meg, mint a Knock Me Down, a Subway To Venus, vagy a rádiók által éjjel-nappal játszott Stevie Wonder-feldolgozás, a Higher Ground. A 19 éves John Fruscianteval rögzített album végül aranylemez lett, s előrevetítette a zenekar következő albumának sikerét is.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik – a második album

Az alig 21 éves Fruscianteval, akit sokan már gitárzseniként emlegettek, a második közös lemezüket 1991-ben készítették el. Az album zeneanyagának felvételeire egy Hollywood Hills-i üresen álló villában került sor, melyet újdonsült producerük, Rick Rubin bérelt ki számukra. A zenekar tagjai teljes elszigeteltségben dolgoztak az új dalokon, melyekben továbbra is keveredtek a funky-, a rap- és a rockzene elemei. Flea és Frusciante gyakran szívtak el egy-egy szál marihuánás cigerettát, inspirációt merítve ezzel egyébként sem szegényes gitárjátékukhoz.

Az album 1991. szeptember 24-én jelent meg és már megjelenése pillanatában hatalmas siker lett. Olyan sikerszámok szerepelnek a korongon, mint a pörgős Suck My Kiss, a lírai I Could Have Lied, az őrült Give It Away vagy a balladaszerű Under The Bridge.
A lemez a Billboard lista 3. helyére került és csak az Egyesült Államokban több mint hétmillió példányban kelt el. A váratlan siker hamarosan az ismert zenekarok közé emelte a Chili Pepperst de Frusciante nem tudta igazán feldolgozni a hirtelen jött hírnevet és kétségei támadtak a zenekar népszerűségével kapcsolatban.

Anthony Kiedis, a Chili Peppers énekese, így idézi Frusciantét visszaemlékezéseiben: "John azt mondta, ' Túl népszerűek vagyunk. Nincs szükségem ilyen mértékű sikerre. Egyszerűen csak klubokban szeretnék zenélni, mint ahogy ti tettétek, srácok két éve.'" Frusciante később elmondta, hogy a zenekar népszerűségének növekedése "túl gyors és túl nagymértékű volt. Minden mintha egyszerre történt volna és ezt én nem tudtam feldolgozni." Úgy érezte ki kell lépnie a zenekarból. Amikor a Chili Peppers világ körüli turnéra indult hangokat hallott a fejében, melyek azt mondták neki "ne csináld végig a turnét, most kell elmenned." Mint később elmondta a nagy népszerűséget, melyet gyűlölt, a heroin segítségével sem tudta már elviselni, és alábbhagyott olthatatlan vágya arra, hogy a Red Hot Chili Peppersben zenéljen. Pedig nemrégiben még híres, a lányok körében népszerű rocksztár szerepére készült.

1992. május 7-én a sibujai Club Quattro-beli fellépés előtt bejelentette zenésztársainak, hogy elhagyja a zenekart. A többiek rábeszélték, hogy még aznap este lépjen fel velük. Megtette, de a következő reggelen már hazarepült Kaliforniába.

1992–1997: Drogfüggőség, szólólemezek

A Chilivel eltöltött évek és a világ körüli turné idején – melynek sikerét és népszerűségét oly nehezen viselte – Frusciante már komoly drogproblémákkal küzdött. Nemcsak a marihuánát fogyasztotta óriási mennyiségben, hanem elkezdte használni a heroint is és csakhamar a függőség határán találta magát.
Hazatérve kaliforniai otthonába súlyos depresszióval küzdött, úgy érezte semmit nem ér az élete, és hogy már soha nem lesz képes zenét szerezni vagy gitárt venni a kezébe. Frusciante szerint depressziójának heroinnal való "gyógykezelése" egyszerű döntés volt: "Alapból nagyon lehangolt voltam, de mindig boldog, amikor drogoztam; ezért állandóan drogoznom kellett. Soha nem volt bűntudatom, igazán büszke voltam a szenvedélyemre."

Hosszú ideig csak a festés érdekelte, majd később azokon a számokon dolgozott, melyeket még a Blood Sugar Sex Magik album munkálatai közben írt. A zenei anyagot saját nappalijában egy négysávos magnón rögzítette majd 1994. március 8-án Niandra Lades And Usually Just A T-shirt címen adta ki első szólóalbumát, mely album hangzása merőben eltér a Chili Peppers funky stílusától.
Ez időben Hollywood Hills-beli házába begubózva, óriási rendetlenségben élt. A ház belső falait az általa készített graffitik és festmények borították. A ház és tulajdonosa akkori állapotát hűen tükrözi barátai, Johnny Depp és Gibby Haynes, által készített, a Stuff címet viselő rövid dokumentumfilm. A házzal végül egy tűz végzett, melyben megsérült értékes gitárgyűjteménye is.

1997. augusztus 26-án jelentette meg második szólóalbumát, a Smile From The Streets You Hold címmel. A lemezen már jól érezhető, hogy technikai tudása nagy mértékben megkopott, hangja gyenge, fátyolos, szinte végigköhögi a teljes albumot, meg sem közelítette már régi önmagát.
A lemez forgalmazását később leállíttatta, mondván egy nap majd újra kiadja.

1997–2002: Rehabilitáció és visszatérés a Red Hot Chili Peppersbe

1997 végén több mint 5 év erőteljes drogfogyasztás után Frusciante felhagyott a heroin használatával. Igaz még hónapok múlva sem tudott lemondani a kokainról és az alkoholról. 1998 januárjában régi barátja Bob Forrest unszolására bevonult egy drogelvonó klinikára Las Encinasra, Pasadenán, hogy teljesen kigyógyuljon függőségéből. A klinikán egy kezdődő szájfertőzést diagnosztizáltak nála, s hogy ne súlyosbodjon állapota fogait eltávolították és műfogsort kapott. Karjain bőrátültetést végeztek, megpróbálták eltüntetni a tűszúrások okozta tályogokat, melyek nyomai még ma is láthatók.

Majd egy hónap után hagyta el a klinikát az újra egészséges Frusciante. Nagy változásokat eszközölt életstílusán. Étrendjében csak egészséges ételek szerepeltek, egészségközpontúan élt. Rendszeresen jógázott és gyakorolta a vipassanát, megtanulta fegyelmezni testét, egy időre még a szexről is lemondott. Mindezen változások elősegítették, hogy teljesen maga mögött hagyja a drogos éveket. Frusciante büszkén tekint vissza élete ezen szakaszára, hiszen képes volt újra élni és szembenézni a világgal és önmagával.

Egykori zenésztársa, Flea, végig kitartott mellette, gyakran látogatta és próbálta tartani benne a lelket. Miután Frusciante meggyógyult Flea felajánlotta neki, hogy ismét zenéljenek együtt a Red Hot Chili Peppersben. Frusciante örömmel mondott igent, életében másodszor is óriási hatással volt rá, hogy újra tagja lehet kedvenc zenekarának.

Mivel házát és hangszergyűjteményét is elemésztette a tűz, Anthony Kiedis segítette ki pénzzel, hogy újra tudja kezdeni a zenélést. Kitartóan gyakorolt és hamarosan mérhető volt régi önmagával. Így a zenekar 1998 tavaszán elkezdte új albumuk zenei munkálatait. A lemez 1999. június 8-án jelent meg Californication címmel és újra sikert hozott a zenekarnak, melyet mi sem igazol jobban, mint a 13 millió eladott példány. A lemezen olyan számok szerepelnek többek között, mint az Around the World, a Scar Tissue, az Otherside, a címadó Californication és a zenekar újra egymásra találásáról szóló Road Trippin'.

Frusciante az album zenei anyagát addigi legjobb munkájaként jellemezte.

A zenekar ismét világ körüli turnéra indult, miközben John szorgalmasan írta saját dalait is. 2001-ben megjelentette újabb szólóalbumát To Record Only Water For Ten Days címmel. Ez az album is az otthonában készült, de már nem négy- hanem nyolcsávos digitális technikával rögzítve. Hangzása sokkal érettebb és kidolgozottabb, mint előző lemezei. Az album megjelenésének évében kisebb koncertsorozatot adott Európában és Észak-Amerikában. A turné minden állomásán egy szál akusztikus gitárral lépett fel. Ugyanebben az évben From The Sounds Inside címmel egy újabb dalgyűjteményt állított össze, de ezt csak honlapjára tette fel, hogy rajongói ingyen, mintegy ajándékképpen letölthessék zenéjét.

2002-ben jelent meg az együttes By The Way című lemeze, mely az előzőhöz hasonló sikert aratott. Megjelenése után az együttes világ körüli turnéra indult.

2002–2009: Stadium Arcadium, szólólemezek

2004 februárjában Josh Klinghoffer és Joe Lally közreműködésével megalakult az Ataxia formáció. A két hétig tartó felvételek után, mely során kétalbumnyi anyagot rögzítettek, két fellépés következett. Ezek után a formáció feloszlott. Első lemezük Automatic Writing címmel jelent meg 2004-ben. A másodikat 2007 májusában adták ki AW II néven.

2004 februárjában megjelent a Shadows Collide With People. Ezután Frusciante bejelentette, az elkövetkező hat hónapban hat lemeze fog megjelenni. Ezek a következők: The Will to Death, DC EP, Inside of Emptiness, A Sphere in the Heart of Silence, Curtains és ide tartozik az Automatic Writing is.

2005-ben a Red Hot Chili Peppers ismét stúdióba vonult, hogy elkészítse új albumát, a Stadium Arcadiumot. A helyszín ismét a BSSM felvételeként is szolgáló ház volt. Frusciante gitárjátéka minden eddiginél meghatározóbb ezen a lemezen, s a legtöbb számban háttérvokált is énekel. Számos gitárt és egyéb hangszert hallhatunk tőle a felvételeken. Végül 28 szám került a dupla albumra.

2007-ben a Stadium Arcadium turné után az együttes bejelentette, hogy egyéves szünetet tartanak, mivel a Californication óta egyfolytában csak dolgoztak és turnéztak. Szeptemberben Flea azt nyilatkozta, hogy a szünet 1 év helyett 2 éves lesz, tehát 2009 közepe felé fognak újra összejönni és beszélni az újrakezdésről.

2008 vége táján átalakult a hivatalos oldala, most már blog formájában írja le a fontosabb dolgokat. (www.johnfrusciante.com)

Tizedik szólóalbuma 2009. január 20-án jelent meg, The Empyrean néven.[Record Collection] 2006 decembere és 2008 márciusa között vette fel az anyagot. Többek között bandatársa Flea és barátja Josh Klinghoffer is játszanak a korongon. Közreműködik még a Sonus Quartet, a New Dimension Singers és Johnny Marr. Frusciante nagyon elégedett az albummal: "sokszor meghallgattam a pszichedelikus élmény kedvéért, amit ez az album ad." A művész így ajánlja szerzeményét: "olyan hangosan hallgassátok, amennyire csak lehet, főleg sötét szobában, késő éjszakai órákban."

2009–2020: Második kilépése a Red Hot Chili Peppersből

2009. december 16-án John bejelentette, hogy másodszor is kiszáll a Chiliből. "Amikor egy éve kiléptem a zenekarból, éppen meghatározatlan idejű szünetet tartottunk. Nem volt dráma vagy harag, s a többiek nagyon megértően fogadták a hírt. Támogatják, hogy azt tegyem, ami boldoggá tesz és én ugyanezt érzem viszont. Hogy egyszerűen fogalmazzunk: zenei elképzeléseim más irányba vezetnek." – nyilatkozta Frusciante, aki azt is hozzátette, hogy szereti a zenekart és mindazt, amit együtt összehoztak. "Az elmúlt tizenkét esztendő alatt mint magánember és mint alkotó is változtam – olyannyira, hogy ha a korábbi vonalak mentén folytatnám további munkáimat, az a természetem ellen való volna. Nem volt választásom – egész egyszerűen az kell legyek, aki vagyok, és azt kell tennem, amit tennem kell."
John 2012 nyarán jelentette be honlapján, hogy kiad egy új kislemezt és egy nagylemezt is. A 15 perces kislemez 2012. július 17-én jelent meg Letur-Lefr néven, amely 5 számot tartalmazott. Majd szeptember 25-én jött a nagylemez is, PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone néven, rajta 9 számmal (a japán kiadáson 11 dal). Ezek az albumok teljesen elütnek az eddigi munkálataitól, műfaja John elmondása szerint progresszív szintipop.

Could you add a multibyte version of the str_pad function to the mbstring library functions?
Simply I don't see much need for such feature. Why do you need it? There are already enough materials to make an equivalent by your own.
Sorry for unexpected greeting. Akemashite omedetou.
I agree that I could roll my own function, and indeed I have done so using mb_strwidth (though it doesn't work perfectly and I can't figure out why. Something to do with the fact that the string contains both full-width and half-width characters I suspect; need more debugging).
But then again the same thing could be said about the str_pad function. Why was it created? All the needed functionality for a user to create his own version of str_pad already existed, so there really wasn't a "need" to create the str_pad function ... But I guess str_pad was such a useful function to have and was being used by enough people that a standard PHP function was created.
Okay, let's keep this open. I'll implement it in my spare time.
Yet I have a quetion: what if the length(width) of the input string cannot be divided by the length of the string to pad with??? Should the remainder be padded with han-kaku spaces?
Great! Please update the bug report when you have implemented a solution so that I can download it and try it out! (as I said, my solution isn't working in all cases).
As for your question, as I see it, the only way that this could happen where if the user supplied a double-width character for the padding string *and* we assume that the pad_length is a count in single-width.
In this example adding the pad string would produce a string longer than is requested.
I was going to say that the mb version should adopt the same behaviour but since the str_pad behaviour seems to be wrong (in my poor opinion) I am not sure what the correct behaviour should be.
I guess one way would be to add a parameter, pad_with_half_width_space, that would let the user decide wether to pad with a half-width space or not if the input string lentgh cannot be divided by the length of the string to pad with.
Or, you could say that the behaviour of the function is to *always* pad with half-width spaces by default.
I can't think of any answer that is "correct", so suggest putting your foot down, defining the what the behaviour will be in those cases and if you feel generous adding parameter to the function to change the default behaviour.
I vote to this. I think that we must have a multibyte str_pad as other string function. This make support for multilanguage applications.
About the width to pad problem, I think that we need to get the same behaviour than str_pad. The string to pad is more an "array of chars" to pad not a fixed string to pad.
It would be nice to have an mb_str_pad and I vote for this.

Thriving in a Hotter Los Angeles—100% Sustainability by 2050
Idea by UCLA Grand Challenges
UCLA's "Hotter LA Project" pursues 100% sustainability in water, energy, and nature in the LA region by 2050.
Please describe yourself.
Collaboration (partners are signed up and ready to hit the ground running!)
In one sentence, please describe your idea or project.
The UCLA Grand Challenges initiative brings together faculty, students and partners to solve critical issues.
Which area(s) of LA does your project benefit?
Central LA
What is your idea/project in more detail?
The "Thriving in a Hotter Los Angeles" (Hotter LA) Grand Challenge Project commits to transform the LA region to 100% sustainability in water, energy, and nature by 2050. This means the region will produce all energy locally with renewable sources and rely exclusively on local water supply while protecting biodiversity. This transformation will require game-changing technologies, new policies, and an evolved urban fabric.
In 2013, UCLA publicly announced our commitment to deliver, by 2019, a plan for sustainability (2019 Plan). In the 1-year grant period, we will increase visibility of the effort, strengthen key stakeholder relationships and publish a draft work plan.
What will you do to implement this idea/project?
Three key resources underpin the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the LA region: the energy that powers our economy, the water that supports life and activity, and the weather and physical landscapes that shape our lifestyles and culture. All three are essential to our quality of life and are deeply intertwined with climate change and the immense challenges and opportunities it represents. The world must get on a path to renewable energy to avert the most extreme consequences of climate change. Even if the transition to renewables occurs immediately, significant climate change is inevitable, and water scarcity may be its most important consequence.
Resilient communities will need to simultaneously mitigate and adapt. LA can lead the way. By becoming self-sufficient and sustainable in energy and water in harmony with the region's ecosystems and cultural identity, we will ensure our own access to these critical resources as well as a healthier and more prosperous future. Our example will drive similar transformations in urban areas across the globe and create worldwide demand for local expertise and products.
The Hotter LA Project unites dozens of UCLA's most prominent scientists and scholars with key public and private stakeholders around a common goal: full sustainability in the LA region by 2050. By 2019, we will produce a plan detailing the new technologies and efficiencies required to obtain all energy and water from local and renewable sources in a way that's economical, socially equitable, and supportive of the LA region's unique biodiversity. We will map out the required actions to modernize energy, water, and transportation systems; enhance the built and natural environment; define new policy and legal frameworks; and heighten social responsibility, thereby transforming the urban fabric and mitigating the effects of climate change.
In the 1-year grant period, we will focus on the following objectives:
a) Creating a working outline of the 2019 Plan and a project management timeline
b) Increasing the number and depth of partnerships with critical stakeholder groups
c) Raising public awareness of and support for the effort
In summary, we are committed to making all parts of the city resilient in alignment with the LA2050 goals.
How will your idea/project help make LA the best place to LIVE today? In 2050?
Raising awareness about the Hotter LA Project, gathering support, and developing the infrastructure for this intense and complex collaboration TODAY lays the crucial foundation for the success of this project and a healthier, greener Los Angeles. We will realize benefits from these transformations long before 2050.
Here's how achieving the Hotter LA 2050 objectives makes LA the healthiest place to live in 2050:
-The transition to renewable energy and a carbon-free transportation infrastructure will eliminate the public health burden associated with fossil fuel--taking us off the list of US cities with the worst air quality.
-Transformed urban spaces and cleaner oceans offer greater opportunities to be active in natural outdoor spaces where our unique biodiversity can be celebrated.
-The creation of substantial bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure will provide active commuting options that improve health and quality of life—reducing the number of vehicles on the road as we currently have more than any other urban area in the world.
The compound effect of these changes will result in the LA region becoming healthier, eliminating current environmental injustices so that all communities have minimal environmental health risks. We will see a notable reduction in asthma attacks, heart attacks, and premature death.
Whom will your project benefit?
By 2050, it is estimated that 70% of the world's population will live in cities and face the same urban environmental concerns currently present in the LA region: limited resources, smog, water waste, traffic congestion, increased heat and rising sea levels.
The Hotter LA Project is designed to achieve maximum societal impact. Even before we reach the 2050 goals, the steps made in approach of 100% sustainability will have positive benefits for all citizens and communities in the entire LA region. Millions of people will have cleaner air, safe, sustainable energy and water, and improved quality of life. We expect this effort to become a model for how other megacities might achieve sustainability through goal setting and cross-sector collaboration. Lessons learned here will be shared with communities across the state, nation, and globe.
Please identify any partners or collaborators who will work with you on this project.
Robust partnerships with a wide variety of stakeholders are critical to the success of the project and to the eventual implementation of the 2019 Plan. Key stakeholder groups include:
Local, State, and Federal Government: LA City and County leaders and even the White House administration are aware of this project and have confirmed broad support for our goals. Members of the Hotter LA team have active research and consulting engagements with the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, and federal agencies. Critical Success Factor: We must expand relationships with all government stakeholder groups, become fluent with their complex structures, and find ways to connect beyond existing relationships to ensure that the right people are engaged, improve the feasibility of the 2050 plan, and obtain buy-in from groups that will have significant responsibility with implementation.
Industry: The expansion of industry partnerships is a priority for this Project. Through early engagement of industry, we gain a greater understanding of needs and aligned interests as related to the goals of the project. Critical Success Factor: While a number of relationships currently exist, we must develop more extensive relationships with industry and foster more entity-level engagement.
Philanthropy: Hotter LA represents our most ambitious fundraising effort to date. We believe that there is great opportunity to engage supporters of the university in new ways. Critical Success Factor: We must capture the imagination and commitment of individuals passionate about meeting the goals of the project.
UCLA Campus and Other Universities: With full support from the UCLA Chancellor and the 140 faculty members involved, UCLA is deeply committed to this effort. Critical Success Factor: We will extend our reach outside of UCLA to include academic partners who can stimulate innovation and fill gaps.
Public: We will shift our public communications from broadcasts to dialogues. With increased interaction, we hope that LA citizens will learn about the proposed project, draw inspiration from it, and get involved. Critical Success Factor: An engaged and supportive Los Angeles community is essential.
With our partners, we will create a shared vision of the future, communicate openly and directly about opportunities and challenges, increase access to all types of resources (monetary, intellectual, data, etc.), and make progress on our collective commitment to the 2050 goals.
How will your project impact the LA2050 LIVE metrics?
Exposure to air toxins
Percent of imported water
Walk/bike/transit score
Acres and miles of polluted waterways
Percentage of LA communities that are resilient (Dream Metric)
Percentage of tree canopy cover (Dream Metric)
Others described in response below.
Please elaborate on how your project will impact the above metrics.
The benefits to be achieved with the Hotter LA Project are closely aligned with several LA2050 Metrics as summarized below:
-New technologies and efficiencies position the region to cost-effectively obtain 100% energy from renewable sources and 100% water from local sources. (Metrics: Exposure to air toxins, Percent of imported water, Acres and miles of polluted waterways.)
-The region's urban spaces are reimagined with increased green space supportive of Southern California's native biodiversity. (Metrics: Percentage of tree canopy cover, Access to open space and park facilities.)
-Clean energy and water and decarbonized transportation leads to more equitable outcomes for communities disproportionately burdened by pollution. (Metrics: Exposure to air toxins, Percentage of LA communities that are resilient.)
-A county-wide bicycle and walking transportation network reduces traffic and provides faster, safer and greener commutes. (Metrics: Walk/bike/transit score, Other: Median travel time to work, Number of public transit riders, Transit-accessible housing and employment.)
-The LA region is recognized as an innovation leader in the areas of water, energy, natural resource preservation, public health, and policy implementation. Climate change is transformed from crisis to opportunity. (Metrics: Other: Increased grant funding for environment and sustainability research, Patents per capita, Jobs per capita, Number of high growth start-ups, Venture capital investment, Measures of cultural and global economic influence.)
Please explain how you will evaluate your project.
An integral part of the 2019 Plan is the inclusion of specific metrics and milestones. A representative sample of what will be included is below:
ENERGY: Los Angeles moves to a diversified energy portfolio that is 100% renewable. Our vision includes every rooftop in the LA region producing solar energy. Widespread adoption of solar will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and create jobs. A recent UCLA study demonstrates that if LA county could achieve just 10% of its rooftop solar capacity it could create 47,000 jobs and slash nearly 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually--the equivalent of taking half a million cars off the road.
WATER: The LA region no longer relies on importing 85% of our water. We have access to plentiful, sustainable, and 100% local water. This will be achieved by reducing per capita water consumption to 50 gallons per day and significantly improving water reuse and recycle technologies.
BIODIVERSITY: The region's transformation with energy and water is accomplished in a way that ensures no net loss of native biodiversity—preserving our status as one of Conservation International's top 25 biodiversity hotspots and protecting the beauty of our natural spaces. Biologists have projected that globally 50% of all living species might be lost by 2100, and virtually all of these losses are being driven by human activities.
Success in the one-year grant period includes meeting the following commitments:
--Refining our Project Plan (creating a working draft outline for the 2019 Plan)
--Expanding Partnerships
--Increasing Public Outreach
--Building Capacity
--Engaging UCLA Students
--Securing External Funding for the Project
What two lessons have informed your solution or project?
Two lessons have informed the shape of our Grand Challenges initiative and our approach to the Hotter LA Project:
1. COMPLEX CHALLENGES REQUIRE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS: As a research university, UCLA has the intellectual capital and resources it takes to explore society's most challenging issues, and as a public research university, we have the obligation to develop solutions that improve quality of life in the U.S. and around the world. UCLA is made up of brilliant and innovative people who firmly believe that for every problem, there is a solution. Our faculty and students not only believe that anything is possible, they also frequently prove it. We call upon that spirit throughout the UCLA Grand Challenges initiative and the Hotter LA Project.
Solving any of today's most complex societal challenges—including those related to the environment and sustainability—requires not just expertise from one discipline but collaboration from a wide variety of disciplines. We'll need inventions, policy solutions, law, education, economics, engineering, the basic sciences, public outreach strategies, and more.
2. WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE: Our environment is threatened to such a degree that basic research isn't enough. We'll also have to show decision-makers clear applications of that research. Grand Challenge Projects differ from UCLA's usual approach in scale and scope. These are cross-campus, "mega-research" collaborations — bigger and more transformative than anything we've done before. This means we need more coordination and more grassroots efforts focused on topics that people are passionate about. We must increase our partnerships with other universities, foundations, philanthropists, private industry, and government agencies. We're calling for all hands on deck. Together, we'll make breakthroughs that will benefit Los Angeles and the world.
Explain how implementing your project within the next twelve months is an achievable goal.
With more than 140 faculty members committed to the goals of the Hotter LA Project, UCLA is in a unique position to lead this effort. Among these faculty members are the top experts in the areas of climate change, water quality and supply, smart grid technology, renewable energy, public policy, law, environmental justice, air quality, biofuels, sustainability and more.
Over the past year, we have been building internal support and an infrastructure to support the project team. Notably, Mark Gold, D.Env. (former president of Heal the Bay and currently acting director of UCLA's Institute of the Environment and Sustainability), recently accepted the role of academic lead for the project. In August 2014, our new full-time Hotter LA Project Director (Cassie Rauser, PhD), begins her role as project manager. Concurrently, we are interviewing candidates to serve as the principal fundraising officer for this project.
This accomplished team will work closely with various marketing, communications, research and administrative offices on campus (Chancellor's Office, government relations, media relations, research administration, intellectual property and industry sponsored research, etc.), to ensure that UCLA achieves the 12-month objectives outlined above:
-Refine our Project Plan (creating a working draft outline for the 2019 deliverable)
-Expand Partnerships
-Increase Public Outreach
-Build Capacity
-Engage UCLA Students
-Secure external funding for the Hotter LA Project
All of these deliverables are important contributors to the 2050 goal of achieving sustainability in the LA region.
Please list at least two major barriers/challenges you anticipate. What is your strategy for ensuring a successful implementation?
We have identified three major barriers associated with creating the 2019 Plan to transform the LA region to 100% sustainability: Financial Resources; Skepticism; and Integration.
FINANCIAL RESOURCES: The first major challenge will be acquiring the financial resources necessary to create the 2019 Plan, which requires new research (engineering, technologies, regulatory, materials etc.), significant outreach and consensus building, and proof of concept test beds (est. $150M). While the figure is daunting, our strategy is to draw from a combination of government, industry and philanthropic funding sources. Our efforts are bolstered by a number of factors:
- The inclusion of the Hotter LA Project as a centerpiece in UCLA's $4.2B Centennial Campaign celebrating our 100 year anniversary.
- Plans to establish a donor advisory board comprised of individuals with a shared vision for the future of Los Angeles.
- Hiring of a new fundraising professional to pursue philanthropic support for the project.
SKEPTICISM: The second major challenge is skepticism, which is often the first reaction to the seemingly impossible goals of the Hotter LA Project. We have been assured by our faculty experts that the goals are achievable. Our frequent motto is that we certainly won't achieve these goals if we don't strive for them. Our strategy for dealing with criticism is to listen to it, analyze it, and if appropriate, correct our course. And in fact, this strategy has proven successful as we have watched our skeptics convert to our biggest advocates, as they too become inspired by the pursuit of solutions to grand challenges.
INTEGRATION: The third challenge we have encountered is integration. The process for defining and pursuing solutions to grand challenges requires our faculty members to visualize their work beyond the traditional boundaries of their disciplines. We ask them to work with individuals with all kinds of expertise and points of view and to identify common goals. Getting this many people to work together on this scale isn't easy. We have learned much from the two years we've spent shaping this initiative, and our success with the engagement of faculty proves that they also believe that they can achieve the impossible.
There are still many barriers to overcome; our strategy is to be flexible and adaptable and to keep our sights set on the big goals as we build synergies.
What resources does your project need?
Network/relationship support
Money (financial capital)
Publicity/awareness (social capital)

Q: Threads methods Recently I've had a java interview.  one of the questions was
Suppose there are two threads  and one thread is executing forever, How could we execute the other thread in this situation?   by calling join() or  yield() method?

A: join() will wait for given thread to stop executing, so you will wait forever for the first thread.
yield():

A hint to the scheduler that the current thread is willing to yield its current use of a processor.

So you could use yield() in the first thread, but it is not necessary, threads are executed concurrently either way.

A:
How could we execute the other thread in this situation?

The question is very poorly stated.  We do not execute threads:  Threads execute our code.
If these two threads have both been start()ed on my laptop, and thread A is executing forever, and I want thread B to run also, then I don't have to do anything at all.  The operating system will insure that both threads get to run.  And, if there aren't any other programs trying to do work at the same time, then each thread will get approximately 100% of one of my laptop's eight CPUs.

Parisians march for immigrants' rights
Hundreds of people, including a leading left-wing politician, marched in Paris in support of 200 immigrants occupying a gym for three weeks after being expelled from a squat in the city.
Sarkozy is known for his tough stance on immigration
The demonstrators, whom police said numbered 3,500, among them Jack Lang, the Socialist presidential hopeful and former culture minister, carried banners some of which read: "800 square metres for ministers: 8 square metres for the unfortunate."
This referred to a scandal last year involving Herve Gaymard, the former finance minister, who resigned after coming under fire for living in a luxury apartment that cost the state 14,000 euros a month.
Police evicted several hundred of the immigrants from France's largest squat in the Cachan suburb three weeks ago, fuelling a heated immigration debate ahead of 2007 elections.
Rights groups denounced the move as a "media stunt" by Nicolas Sarkozy, the interior minister, to underline his tough immigration stance.
Dozens were arrested to be sent back to their country of origin and others agreed to be housed in hotels.
Some 200 of the immigrants crowded into a school gym, vowing not to move until authorities found them permanent homes.
The French interior ministry said in a statement late on Saturday after a meeting with representatives of the immigrants that 92 apartments had been identified for those who were in France legally but those staying illegally would be expelled.
About 4.5million immigrants live in France, official statistics show. The interior ministry estimates there are between 200,000 and 400,000 illegal foreigners in the country.


Want to learn more about sun and shade loving vegetables?
Love getting advise from your site. I am still a novice vegetable gardener and your tips are really appriciated. Thank you. And I am looking forward to a great heirloom harvest.
Zinnias draw Lady Bugs, which will in turn eat most of the pests that attack cauliflower!
Also, I read that some flowers can also deter certain plant diseases, but I'm sorry, I don't remember the specifics.
Some companion plants actually help edible plants grow bigger/better and improve the flavors!
Let these plants do some of the work for you!!!
Not necessarily. Heirloom tomatoes for example have a very large library of varieties that not only compete with a lot of the hybrids but out perform them in disease tolerance, fruit production, and insect resistance. Not to mention they just flat out taste better. The hardest part is picking which ones!
I'm with you. The flavor of an heirloom tomato ? doesn't eve compare to the tasteless F1/hybrid varieties. Heirloom tomatoes are not I only car better in taste, but they contain far more Polyphenols, phytochemicals, lycopene and antioxidants than hybrid varieties.
I don't have a lot of land, but use every inch of it for gardening in my very short zone 5 summer. I grow 16 different heirloom tomato plants every year, with no duplicate from year to year. I save seeds each year and as of now have over 350 varieties of heirloom tomato seeds. I plan to pass them to my children and if seeds are saved and stored right, they can last nearly forever.
While 350 varieties may seem like a lot, I have a looooong way to go to collect them all, lol.
One thing I look forward to every summer is taking the first bite of the first ripe heirloom tomato picked fresh off the vine and eaten while still warm from the sun ?. Yum!
I have never heard of leaks being referred to as"green onions". in my experience, that normally refers to scallions – right? Anyone else ever call leeks green onions?
Leeks are Leeks…period! No other name is attributed to them.
No. Leeks are not green onions.
How much coffee grounds is ok for compost. Is there a limit on how much orange peels can go into compost.
I do not think this article is very accurate. For example, it is not true that tomatoes will also take all the sun they can get – in hot climates, tomatoes will become sunburnt and ruined.
Likewise, in hot areas, cucumbers can do well in 2 hours of full sun.
How can I get rid of moss growing in my grass?
Any recommendations / tips on how to determine what areas of yard are full/partial/light sun/shade?
For years I planted lettuce. Different kinds of lettuce and everytime it tasted extremely bitter. Is there something that I have to do in order to change the taste. Please can anyone advice me on what to do as I love lettuce but can't eat the one I grow because of the horrible bitter taste. Thankyou.
To keep lettuce from being bitter, grow it in cool weather – usually daytime temps 45-70 degrees F, and never let the soil get dry around the roots. It's ok to plant the seed in early spring as soon as the soil has thawed and isn't muddy any more.
On a sunny day that you are home all day, make a sun log. Draw a diagram of your yard where you are interested in planting, and record when those areas move into full sun and then back into the shade. If you do this military time, you then subtract the start time from the end time and thus have how many hours the areas was in full sun.
GREAT WORK, LETS KEEP NATURAL..
Thank you I am still searching on how to grow so many things from trees to vegies without success due to a large totally dense Peppercorn trees stopping the morning sun and only get access just before midday …can anybody help me???
Can you tell me why my lettuce tastes bitter …..?

Youth Team: Rochdale 3-1 Morecambe
Back-to-back wins for Dale's under 18 side…
Dale's under 18 side came from behind to record a 3-1 win over Morecambe on Saturday at the Abbey Stadium.
The victory made it back-to-back wins for the youth team, following their opening day 4-1 win at Wrexham.
Morecambe took a first half lead into the interval after opening the scoring from a free-kick six minutes before the break.
Matty Gillam pulled Rochdale level eight minutes after the re-start. After Dale had an effort saved by the goalkeeper, Gillam latched onto the re-bound and sent the looping ball into the back of the net at the post.
In the 70th minute, Jack Stewart fired Dale ahead with a low strike from the edge of the area.
Gillam netted his second of the game in stoppage time to ensure all three points for Rochdale, as he struck from the edge of the 18-yard box.
Dale XI: Wade, Appiah, Hollins, Evans, Ward, Lenehan, Grant, Stewart, Gillam, Prescott, Kuemo. Subs: Adshead, Bradley, Chea, Murray, Price

I HATE shoveling. Maybe because I am short which makes it difficult to get it over the pile, or because I swell up afterwards, or maybe because when you shovel up the snow it sticks to the shovel. Atleast I look cool doing it in my dress boots, pj pants, and my airborne hat!
Hey, finally got my computer and I'm catching up on my kids. You make me proud, Annie B. Who taught you to dress anyway!? Love you anyhow!

What's in Store: Wood Work
Fantagraphics Book Store & Gallery | January 17, 2017
The enduring influence of the late Wallace Wood can't be overstated. From his work at EC, MAD, Marvel, and beyond, Wood left an indelible mark on American culture that resonates to this day. Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery celebrates the legacy of this amazing artist through February 9. Wallace Wood came to prominence with his work for EC comic books, which enjoyed circulation in the millions, but were vilified by politicians, preachers, and crusading child psychologist Dr. Fredric Wertham. Together, they convinced the public that these comics were the cause of juvenile delinquency and social deviance. The establishment of the Comics…

Q: Find committed files that should have been ignored How can I list all files in a repository that were committed (explicitly), although they were ignored because of the .hgignore file

*

*.hgignore uses glob syntax

*running on Windows

*it's not necessary to take any global .hgignore file into account

My idea:
hg manifest > filter using the content of .hgignore > result

A: You have to learn and use filesets in this case
List files that are in .hgignore but are already tracked:
hg locate "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"

Can you identify these islands based on their shape?
Conclusion: Jetpunk officially recognizes Australia as an island rather than a continent.
Cyprus is in Europe! Oh wait, which discussion are we talking about?
I'm sure it should be called Myanmar.
No, Wales should definitely count as a country.
If we call Micronesia the Federated States of Micronesia, the that means we need to use the full name of every country ie. Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.
Palestine should totally be included!
Please accept kyrgggyyzgygyysytyysytyyyyrzzzstnnnygygyn for Kyrgyzstan.
South Ossetia is a country!
Should Morocco be in charge of Western Sahara?
Come on guys! Everyone knows that it's called Oceania, Not Australia!
Actually, NZ is not on the Oceania continent - it's on the sunken continent of Zealandia.
As one drives East across Russia, at some point is there a road sign warning drivers in Cyrillic that one is leaving Europe and entering Asia? No? Then I maintain there is no recognized boundary.
Of course it is. It's the largest island in the world.
I personally view it as a continental land mass rather than an island, but if someone decides to go a different path, that's okay. But consistency would be nice.
grr. I type UK and United Kingdom. Only then did I type Great Britain.
You should except UK and United Kingdom.
Why? That's not what the island is called.
Your right. The U.K. refers to Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and all of the overseas territories. Great Britain is simply the island that England, Scotland, and Wales are on.
He said except, not accept.
Nobody excepts the Spanish Inquisition!
The Japanese made an opposite inquisition against the missionaries.
Great Britain is the island, poor Northern Ireland on the Ireland island is often forgotten because of the misconception that the island of Wales, England, and Scotland is called the UK- that's the country, not the island.
... I missed Hawaii... HAWAII!!!!!!!
I agree, please can you accept 'Celebes' for Sulawesi?
It's not called Celebes anymore.
Yes, please accept 'Celebes' for Sulawesi.
Ceylon should be accepted for Sri Lanka. By the way 'Sri Lanka' is the name of the country which is located on 'Ceylon'.
Actually, the island itself has been renamed.
Shouldn't "Hawaii" be Oahu or something?
No, the state of Hawaii consists of a group of eight major islands, including the "Big Island" of Hawaii, Oahu, Kaua'i, Maui, and others. Hawaii is one island in the state of Hawaii, Oahu is another.
No, because UK is the country that includes Great Britain, Northern Ireland and overseas territories. Great Britain is the name of the island.
The UK does not include the overseas territories. The British Overseas Territories do not form part of the United Kingdom.
There is no island called United Kingdom.
Why wont it take England, UK or United kingdom?
Because there is no island called England, UK or United Kingdom.
Here's the deal about Australia. Instead of going on about how it's a continent and not an island, why not celebrate the fact that it's the only inhabited continent that is an island!
The map of just Great Britain without all the Scottish islands looks like it's had a drastic haircut.
It is .......... for the tree not the Island.
Poor Tasmania... ...It's been forgotten again!
Wake up MagDog ...... how can Australia and Tasmania be one Island?
Australia is a continent, not an island.
In fact, it's the largest island in the world.
If Australia is an island, so is Antarctica, which is bigger. And the Americas are an even bigger island. And Africo-Eurasia is the world's largest island. See what happens when you consider continents islands?
If Australia is an island we could call North+South America an island by the same logic. A continuous landmass surrounded by water.
One could say the same thing about Europe+Africa+Asia.
Well if you look up "mainland" instead of throwing the word around, its description fits Australia fairly well.
UK isn't on this quiz.
Australia is a continent!!! "Australia and Oceania" is a region and continent of Australia is a part of that region. Eurasia and Africa are the same land mass (later separated by humans) but divided into 3 continents based on cultural differences. Cyprus is geographically considered to be part of southwest Asia but from cultural pov (Greek culture) it belongs to Europe.
Hokkaido looks like a Manta ray crossed with a shark.
Yes, it is. Big Island is actually named Hawaii.
Maybe do some research before commenting next time.
First of all, yes it is; second of all, Oahu is as all but it's a different island in the Hawaiian Archipelago.
I trust jetpunkers will not be too bored but:......... UK is a sovereign country that includes Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and many included islands. This quiz asks for the name of the 'Island' shown. The name of the island shown is 'Great Britain' ..... similarly the island of Manhattan cannot be called USA.
Copy and paste repeatedly for those who don't read previous comments.
English Oxford Dictionary: ISLAND = A piece of land surrounded by water.
Then Australia's not an island because there is hot magma underneath it and air above, thus it is not surrounded by water.
Looks weird to see Australia without Tasmania. I think I did too many map quizzes..
The island is called Great Britain, just because you don't know that fact does not make it wrong........... If it could be called UK then Ireland the Island could also be called UK as part of UK is Northern Ireland.
I've always thought of the island as just Britain and Great Britain including other territory.
Better to answer in a colored square rather than randomly?
Dang it Canada! Only two I missed.
Funny that Hawaii is harder to recognize for people than Baffin or Hokkaido.
Dude! Australia is a continent, not an island!
Mate! It can be both!
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but some folks might argue that Australia is a continent. Also, other people might want you to accept UK or England for Britain. But again, I'm not sure if anyone has already brought these points up over and over again yet. Just in case, I thought I'd mention it.
This makes me realize how much Java and Crete look like one another.
I always confuse New Guinea and Hispaniola. I know full well the 1st is a smooshed parallelogram and the 2nd has that gianormous bay in Haiti, but it still gets me.
I got every one except Hawaii. Then saw that random fact that appears on the bottom of every quiz, it said "Hawaii is the only US state that produces coffee commercially." Typed Hawaii, got it at the last second.
I really scratched my head trying to figure out what island looked like Australia.
quillyqq if you had said nothing we would not have known how wrong you are. Labrador is the area on the East Canadian Mainland opposite the Island of Newfoundland which together make up Newfoundland & Labrador.
whoops, my mistake. don't judge me, though, i'm 12, and its very rude to say things like "we would not have known how wrong you are." i, for one, absolutely do not appreciate rudeness, and i think most people would agree.
I still don't recognize that first island.
All done with 2:10 remaining. Excellent quiz!

This is a wonderful loud extension bell and has a proper mechanical 700 series double bell inside. It will give the correct sound of a Bakelite GPO 300 Series telephone and would be ideal to go with a 200 series to add the proper GPO bell sound. This can be simply plugged into any telephone socket in the house and would be ideal to add extra bells to the hard of hearing or in a noisy workshop etc. It comes with full fitting instructions and screws and to connect it simply plug in and go.

Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in the outrageous comedy from the director of Wedding Crashers and the writers of The Hangover. One drunken night, two friends admit that they wish they had the other's life. Mitch (Reynolds) thinks Dave has it all: a beautiful, loving family and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. But Dave (Bateman) thinks Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence is the real dream come true. The next morning they wake up, hungover, in each other's bodies, and proceed to freak out! With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other's lives before they can find a way to get their old ones back.

Critics Consensus: There's a certain amount of fun to be had from watching Bateman and Reynolds play against type, but it isn't enough to carry The Change-Up through its crude humor and formulaic plot.
Jumps right into bizarre, foul humor to lure audiences in with pure shock.
The sad thing here is that there's a terrific film trying to find its way to the surface.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
A gross-out comedy that masquerades as a tale about finding one's true place in life.
The Last Thing I See
Brent McKnight
No longer will bros have to wonder what it would be like if two dudes, two dudes with polar opposite personalities and lives, switched places with each other for a short time!

For audiences in need of a boost, "God Bless the Broken Road" might offer just enough of a payoff to justify a few rough patches.
Reynolds tries and if you find him or this sort of teen-bop movie appealing, you may find something to enjoy. If you're repulsed by both, I suggest avoiding Dobkin's latest effort like the plague.
Although the lack of originality of the concept really brings down its appeal, audiences will enjoy watching this recycled story unfold with the two newest performances.
Craig D. Lindsey
If you still enjoy the sort of bathroom humor that had you in hysterics back in grade school, this movie delivers those juvenile gags (in every sense of the word) in droves.
R-rated comedies these days, like 'The Hangover' and 'Bad Santa,' employ a relentless bombardment of cheap, gross toilet humor and nonstop cursing -- because it usually works.
A disappointing body-switch comedy...
Overly crude body-swapping comedy isn't for kids.
Parents need to know that this raunchy body-swapping comedy is more like The Hangover than Freaky Friday. From the opening F-bomb to the end credits, the movie is chock full of language ("f--k" is said in nearly every scene), sexuality (nudity includes breasts, a soft porn movie set, and a fully naked, very pregnant woman), and crass toilet humor. Plus, the movie's themes are actually pretty mature, revolving around two best friends who couldn't be less like each other but secretly envy each other's life. Because it stars two of the funniest actors in Hollywood (Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds), parents should expect even young teens to be interested, but this movie is definitely a "hard-R" for a reason.

Obama's Niece Threatened at Maryland Basketball Game
Rachel Monroe
Leslie Robinson is a 6-foot freshman at Princeton and a forward on that school's basketball team. She also happens to be the daughter of Michelle Obama's brother, making her the president's niece.
Apparently the mere fact of that family relationship was enough to cause someone to leave an eight-minute voicemail for the University of Maryland athletic department, threatening in some detail about the imminent harm that was coming to Robinson. According to USA Today, the voicemail claimed that a man was driving around campus with a Glock, looking for Robinson.
The school beefed up security for the game, which the president did not attend. Officials also decided not to tell Robinson about the threat until after the game–which, unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're a Terps fan) Princeton lost, 85-70.
