Oracle's Larry Ellison is hoping that history doesn't repeat itself with the company's fledgling Network Computer.
Less than three years after an all-out Oracle campaign to evangelize interactive television--remember interactive television?--Oracle has refocused on the Network Computer (NC), an example of a new kind of low-cost Internet terminal device that Ellison and others believe will offer an alternative to PCs for many users.
"We've recast all of our efforts in interactive television for the Web," Ellison said yesterday at the Oracle Developer Conference in San Francisco. "I believe there will be more NCs sold by the year 2000 than PCs," he added. By Ellison's estimate, that would be more than 100 million NCs in homes, schools, and businesses.
Ellison also demonstrated a protoype of the NC for the first time to an American audience, showing how the NC could send and receive email, do most basic application tasks, surf the Web, and provide real-time video and audio streams--all this for less than $500.
Oracle is not going to sell the NC. Oracle is going to establish a hardware reference design for hardware manufacturers, and they're going to make NCs based on Oracle's directions. No one stood up yesterday with Ellison to say they are going to build them, but at least five major manufacturers will do so by April, Ellison said. And some of them will actually be shipping machines by September, Ellison said.
Ellison did give a hint of who they might be: "Make a list of the top ten computer producers. Assume we have half of them [working with us on the NC]."
Those so-far unnamed manufacturers will ship devices built around either a 100-MHz Intel Pentium microprocessor or an ARM processor, Ellison said. Those same manufacturers will also ship different models of the NC, including desktop, laptop, telephone, set-top, personal digital assistant, and pager models. And they will price them from about $495 to $995, Ellison said. The machines will come with keyboards and mice but no hard drives. Users of the desktop model could hook it up to a computer monitor or a TV, as the pocketbook demands.
As for Oracle, it will license the 300K, Posix-compliant NC operating system and a Java-based suite of basic applications called JavaWorks to those manufacturers. JavaWorks will include a word processor, a spreadsheet, and a scheduler. The apps will be able to read and write Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files and will provide an alternative to Microsoft Office, which Ellison characterized as bloated and irrelevant to most user's needs.
Oracle also plans that the explosion of the NC market will help it sell lots more of its database software including the Universal Server, which shipped yesterday and lets database developers store any kind of information: traditional relational tables, graphics, video, text, audio, whatever.
Ellison is confident about there being lots of NCs everywhere because lots of people will get one without buying anything. Instead, he said, Internet service providers and telephone companies will give them away. Ellison didn't name anyone, but in fact AT&T has already expressed interest.
"The price of [Internet access] service could incorporate a [Network Computer]," said John C. Petrillo, executive vice president of Strategy and New Offer Development at AT&T. "We haven't made any decision on that. But we're looking into that." AT&T is planning to launch a dial-up Net access business in March.
By the way, Oracle is not the only one whose interactive television experience led to Internet products instead of movies on demand. Sun Microsystems' Java programming language began as an interactive television project, code-named Oak.


In Perth, Western Australia overlooking the city and Swan River is Kings Park. The park is set on 400 hectares of land, fifty percent made up of native bush. The city and river views are stunning. To enhance the park experience the Lotteries Federation 620 meter Walkway was constructed. The walkway is a journey through the park's history in relation to Indigenous and European culture. Artwork and construction materials augment the natural setting enabling visitors to appreciate the importance of conserving biodiversity, the cultural and natural heritage and the geographic features of the surrounding landscape.
Part of the walkway is a 52 meter arched glass and steel bridge. It is suspended among a canopy of tall eucalypts. The architects chose d line for the daring steel structure with the glass balustrade. Customised d line block adapters and 120 meters of stainless steel handrail and matching handrail brackets were installed.

Australia's former NBA championship winner Andrew Bogut retires
Posted at Dec 01 2020 09:03 AM
Australia's Andrew Bogut during the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. FIBA.basketball
SYDNEY, Australia -- NBA championship-winning centre Andrew Bogut announced his immediate retirement from basketball Tuesday after a 15-year career.
The 36-year-old Australian, who was the NBA's top draft pick in 2005 for the Milwaukee Bucks, said the coronavirus shutdown had given him the time to reflect on his future.
"The decision hasn't been an easy one, but I think its the right decision," he said on his podcast 'Rogue Bogues'.
"I'll be retiring from professional basketball effective immediately."
Bogut said he had been grappling with chronic pain from injuries, revealing he had undergone two surgeries during the off-season.
"The last two years have been a challenge for me, just to get out of bed in the morning some days, let alone go to a training session or a game," he said.
"The body, probably from 2018 onwards, was hanging on a thread.
"I'd say 2019-20 season that thread was completely frayed and in little pieces."
Bogut said he had previously been focused on making it to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to represent Australia but now wanted to prioritize his health.
"I just can't physically and mentally get to 2021 with the way the body has been," he said.
"I could get there with a lot of painkillers and mental anguish but it's just not worth it at this point in my career.
"I'm really starting to value my health away from the court, and my health when I'm 40, 45 and 50."
The announcement comes just six months after Bogut said he would not be renewing his contract with the Sydney Kings in Australia's National Basketball League (NBL).
He signed a two-year contract with the Kings in 2018 following a 13-year NBA career capped when he won the championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2015.
Bogut, who stands 2.13m tall (7ft), spent seven seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks before being traded to Golden State. He also played with the Dallas Mavericks and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He was the NBL's MVP for the 2018/19 season. The Kings made it to the league's grand final this year before the season was ended prematurely by the coronavirus shutdown.

Q: optional extension in expressjs route I want to have an optional extension, like .xml or .csv or .json (the default, no extensions would return json).
app.get('/days-ago/:days(.:ext)?', function(req, res) {

This doesn't appear to work, is there anything I'm doing wrong?
GET /days-ago/7.xml
GET /days-ago/7.csv
GET /days-ago/7.json
GET /days-ago/7

A: It seems that you are using wrong pattern for the route. Here is the corrected one:
app.get('/days-ago/:days\.:ext?', function(req, res) {

Therefore, to achieve your goal I would create a middleware that checks for the empty parameter and sets it to the desired one
Something like this:
var defaultParamMiddleware = function(req, res, next) {
    if (!req.params.ext) {
        req.params.ext = 'json';
    }

    next();
};

app.get('/days-ago/:days\.:ext?', defaultParamMiddleware, function (req, res) {
    res.json(req.params);
});

A: Try a real regex: app.get(/\/days-ago\/\w+(\.\w+)?/), function (req, res {... (or similar). The route parameter built-in grammar is pretty limited. It may actually be able to express what you need, but I don't see the point when regexs are built into the language and well understood.

Brachylaima is a genus of trematodes. It has recently been discovered that it can infest the gastrointestinal tract of human beings.

Epidemiology and transmission
The first documented case of Brachylaima infestation (known as brachylaimiasis) in a human was in 1996, with 8 subsequent cases in the next 4 years. Diagnosis has spread from Australia to other parts of the world, such as the Spanish cities of Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Tudela, Valencia, and Zaragoza. In 2020, it was reported that snails in France were also infected by metacercariae of two species of Brachylaima.

Transmission is via ingestion of infested undercooked land snails, Cornu aspersum (Pulmonata: Stylommatophora). The snail is the second intermediate host in the terrestrial life cycle of Brachylaima spp., which harbors unencysted metacercariae in its kidneys (Other intermediate hosts include, Cochlicella acuta Cernuella virgata and Theba pisana). Definitive hosts of this species include humans, mice, various species of birds and reptiles. It was first believed that the infection of humans was from children who had purposely eaten the snails, and adults have accidentally ingested snails on vegetables and become infected. Though this may be the case in some parts of the world, it has been shown that humans actively ingest these snails as a source of food in some areas.
One study showed that the Spanish city of Tudela had a very high prevalence of the parasite in the snails that were sold as food, though this prevalence fluctuates throughout the year, with the peak season being autumn. This prevalence has become a public concern in many Spanish countries due to the spread of brachylaimiasis.
Eggs of this species can remain viable in feces/soil for up to twelve months. The sporocyst infection is 7–10 weeks after the eggs have been ingested.

Clinical features
Clinical features have varied from recurrent short-lived episodic abdominal pain to recurrent severe watery diarrhea, which has a 5-10% mortality rate

Cardiac arrhythmias associated with heart failure refractory to treatment were present in a child infected and completely resolved with anti-helminthic treatment.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is by examination of stools, in search of the eggs of the parasite, but is highly dependent on the skill and technique of the laboratory worker, with previous diagnoses missed by other hospital labs and only noted after examination at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woodville, Adelaide, South Australia.

Treatment
Treatment with a round of praziquantel results in complete resolution of symptoms and clearance of eggs from stools.

Springtime inspires creativity in me, and so I've been ready to experiment a bit. Today we tried a twist on the familiar Eggs Benedict, replacing waffles for the English muffins. Since prosciutto makes absolutely everything taste better, we substituted prosciutto for the Canadian bacon. It was so yummy, and enjoyed by our guests. Serving suggestion: smoked applewood bacon wrapped apples. Yet another YUM!
For the waffles: sift the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, and egg yolks. Stir liquids into dry ingredients just until blended. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Cook on hot waffle iron until golden brown.
Stack two waffles. Top with a slice of prosciutto. Top with one poached egg. Cover egg with a small ladle of hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with mediterranean spiced sea salt.
Hollandaise sauce: in a small saucepan, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice. Add 1/4 cup butter, and place on lowest heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Add the remaining 1/4 cup butter, and whisk continuously over very low heat. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce thickens, cooking slowly so as to not curdle the eggs.
Tip: if the sauce cools and thickens too much, add a tablespoon of boiling hot water and whisk, repeating as necessary.


The iPhone iCloud Unlock IMEI services are the only solution if you have an iCloud Locked iPhone.
Of course, you should be extremely careful about which iPhone Unlock Provider you will trust because only a handful of them can get the job done.
Find My iPhone option is not a new concept, but from iOS 7 release, when you activate that feature, the Activation Lock is being enabled.
IMEI iCloud Removal was possible for USA, Europe, Middle East & Australian CLEAN iPhones. You were able to Unlock your iCloud Locked iPhone and activate it with your own iCloud Account. Unfortunately for the time being it is extremely unstable, but you can ByPass iCloud Activation with IMEI.
If your iPhone is not from one of these countries then you can also find an eBook which includes all conditions, templates & procedures Apple requires for an Official iCloud Removal request with a high success rate.
If you make a simple Google search with the term "iPhone iCloud Unlock IMEI" you will see hundreds of results. Tools that can permanently unlock your iPhone's iCloud Lock, FREE software that can provide you an IMEI iCloud Unlock within a few minutes, services that can instantly deactivate the Find My iPhone Lock and Guides & Tutorials with "magic" iCloud Activation Lock removal steps!
All of the above sound very good, but unfortunately they are fake. Thousands of people have iCloud Locked devices, so "offering" IMEI iCloud Unlock services that can guarantee a solution is a service that many "shady" companies can take advantage.
I strongly suggest you choose the iCloud Unlock Provider with caution.
It is very difficult to contact Apple support by e-mail or chat since they do not have a direct way of communicating them. However, there is a sequence you can use inside their Support Page, to initiate a chat with the proper iPhone iCloud Unlock IMEI department.
Also, it is very important to send a formal iCloud Lock Removal request, because if you do not provide Apple with all mandatory evidence and proof, your request will be rejected.
The most detailed and Up-to-date source for iCloud Locked iPhones and iCloud Removal methods can be found to the following eBook: "How to Legally Unlock iCloud".
iPhone iCloud Unlock IMEI process requires some information about the iCloud & Blacklist status of your iPhone as well as where it was bought and activated because these 3 pieces of info will determine the Success or Failure of the iCloud IMEI Unlock.
CLEAN devices are able to get unlocked whereas LOST/STOLEN/ERASED are not compatible with these iPhone iCloud Unlock IMEI services or any other service.
iPhone iCloud Activation Lock and Find My iPhone feature - The reason behind it!
Since iPhones are expensive devices, a way had to be discovered in order to discourage their theft, and Activation Lock through Find My iPhone feature was invented.
When you turn on the Find My iPhone feature, the Activation Lock is being enabled automatically, which makes the thieves very hard to re-sell it. This what the thought behind it, to make those iPhones unusable to the thieves, and not even attempt to steal them.
How to deactivate the iCloud Activation Lock to my iPhone?
First of all, there is no way to bypass the Activation Lock or apply an iPhone iCloud Unlock IMEI software if it is reported as lost or stolen (Be Blacklisted).
If you want to sell your iPhone to someone else, make sure to erase all your content and settings.
This will also turn off Find-My-iPhone and the Activation Lock, so the user afterward will be able to use that iDevice normally.
There are two ways to achieve that, the first is to turn off the Find iPhone feature from your iPhone's settings and the other from iCloud.
Go to "Settings" and then "iCloud".
Tap to turn off "Find My device"
Turning off iCloud completely will also do the trick!
If for any reason you cannot turn it off, you need to do the following.
Click to ALL Devices, select the one that appears offline and click the "Remove from Account".
When you bring your device online again, it will reappear in the iCloud, so you will have to turn off the Find My iPhone feature (The above 2 step tutorial!).
In most cases, second-hand iPhones are locked with the iCloud Activation lock, but they are not reported as lost or stolen.
Trying to find the original owner is a tricky task, but it is doable!
Keep in mind, that iCloud ID Finder is only working with USA iCloud Locked iPhones.
The iCloud Contact Information service (or iCloud Finder ID) requires the IMEI and UDID number of your iPhone.
Update July 26, 2018: Currently the iCloud ID Find Service is unavailable.
So, iPhone iCloud IMEI Unlock is possible as long as your iPhone is fulfilling the conditions and if you are interested in learning all Legal Methods that can remove the iCloud Lock from your iPhone, I highly suggest reading our iCloud Unlock Guide.
Leave a comment below if you need more help and until next time, take care iCloud Unlockers.
You can read more on our iCloud Unlock Guide.
Hey Li and sorry for the delay.
The problem with WiFi-only iPads is that they don't have an IMEI number which means you cannot use an iCloud IMEI Unlock Service (if it is available).
So, your iCloud Removal options are limited to Apple Support or the original owner.
The last chapter of this post is exactly about your situation with a service which is especially developed in these two directions.
Keep in mind that your iPad Mini 2 can only be iCloud Unlocked as long as the iCloud Status is Clean and it's not blacklisted.
What's the status of your iDevice?
Again sorry for the delay, take care Li.
Hello, how to activate my iPhone 6 this without the iCloud Account of the previous owner.
2. Where are you from? There are iCloud IMEI Unlock Services for CLEAN iPhone that are from Europe, USA, Australia, and the Middle East.
3. If your iPhone is not from one of these countries, you should check our Free iCloud Unlock Guide.
Read our iCloud Removal Tutorial and if you still have questions, send me again.
We are not an iCloud Unlock Provider but a blog that helps people unlock their iPhones with the best possible solutions.
You should really read our Free iCloud Unlock Guide for more info.
If our tutorial is not enough then there is always the eBook.
Whatever you choose to do, you must verify the iCloud Status and all other issues of your iPhone before you try to unlock it with an IMEI Check.
Don't forget that there are no working iCloud Unlock Tools at the moment, so Apple Support or the original owner are the only solutions.
Send again if you need more help.
Please take my advice and don't share your IMEI in public.
Anyway, we are not an iPhone Unlock Company but we sure know how to unlock an iPhone.
We created a Free Unlock iCloud Guide and anything that can be done with an iCloud Locked iPhone is in there!
2) Don't use any iCloud Unlock Software, none of them works at the moment.
Send me again if you need further help.


Please take a few minutes to watch these videos and learn about the valuable advantages they explain. My business is helping people save, grow and protect their money. If you would like to learn more or ask specific questions please let me know by contacting me today.
We all want the money we save for retirement to last as long as we do and provide us with as much income as possible without any risk of running out of money. The money we save in a 401k, 503b, IRA or SEP plan is simply not the best way to grow and protect our retirement savings or provide retirement income for the rest of our lives without running the risk of running out of money. Watch this video to learn about a better solution.
There are three problems with the way we save for retirement in a 401k, 403b, IRA, or SEP: income taxes, investment losses, and management fees. Together they can reduce our retirement income by at least 30 or 40% but they are all avoidable. Watch this video to learn how you can earn Tax Free Retirement Income without those losses.
The standard retirement age for social security benefits is currently between 65 and 67 depending on our birthdate but we can start our retirement benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70. The choice of when to start your retirement benefits can be extermely impactful in the long-term benefits you receive. Watch this video to learn more about your options.
Medicare can be very confusing. With Part A for hospital services, Part B for medical services and Part D for prescriptions. Each with different co-pays, deductibles, as well as separate fees or charges and various exclusions and restrictions. That's why most people also get Medicare Supplement coverage but it's expensive. Watch this video to learn more about how a Medicare Savings Account can help you.
When you think about your retirement, do you worry that you might run out of money? That you might outlive your savings. Or that your investments might not last as long as you do? If you live to 100 or beyond, will there still be enough for you to live independently? Watch this video to learn how you can use a Medicare Savings Account to help avoid running out of money.
When we retire, we will need to convert our retirement savings into retirement income. But what if the market crashes during our retirement like it did in 2008 and 2009 and we lose 50% of our savings. Will we still have enough to continue our withdrawals? Watch this video to learn about how withdrawal guarantees can help you stay comfortable throughout your retirement.

IFAB criticised for 'crazy' decision to not back temporary concussion subs trial
George Sessions
Campaigners want temporary concussion substitutes to be introduced into football (Nigel French/PA) (PA Archive)
Football's lawmakers have been accused of having a hidden agenda after a temporary concussion substitute trial in the Premier League was rejected on Wednesday.
The International Football Association Board met at Wembley to discuss the possibility of a trial after a request from world players' union FIFPRO and the World Leagues Forum to test the protocol in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and Major League Soccer.
With backing from the Football Association and Professional Footballers' Association, it was hoped IFAB would give the trial the green light but its rejection has left Penny Watson, the wife of former England captain Dave Watson, "dumbfounded".
Watson won 65 England caps across eight years but is now living with dementia and his wife was among several other brain injury campaigners to sign an open letter to IFAB last summer insisting the existing concussion protocols failed to provide sufficient protection to players.
"I am absolutely seething and dumbfounded," she told the PA news agency.
"I just cannot understand how that decision came about because I do know certain evidence and lobbying has been put before IFAB. I just cannot understand the negative side of things or what their thinking is behind not approving this. There is nothing to lose. It is just crazy.
"I just cannot understand the thinking and why they will not just give this a go. There has to be some reason for that. I wish I could have been in the room to try and fathom what this is. There has to be some vested interest somewhere for IFAB.
"It is almost like a hidden agenda somewhere and I can't understand why."
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham revealed the topic of concussion substitutions was the "longest conversation" of an IFAB meeting that went over by 90 minutes.
While IFAB rejected the trial at Wembley, unions and leagues will now consider the legal impact of pressing ahead with temporary concussion substitute trials, the PA news agency understands.
Watson added: "Getting it done without IFAB's approval, I hope that happens and it proves to be successful.
"It is a proven thing that has worked in other sports, for instance rugby, and anyone having a medical examination, which is what it is, you want privacy. Even the lower-leagues have cameras and thousand of people peering in at them, so how can you have a medical examination under those circumstances.
"There is a model there already that works with actual statistics to prove it works with rugby and the World Rugby Head Injury Assessment protocol. It is just crazy. I am very, very disappointed and very angry."
Meanwhile, Chris Sutton, whose father Mike died in 2020 after suffering with dementia following a lengthy playing career, said on Twitter: "So the trial of temporary concussion substitutes for next season has been rejected at the IFAB meeting today.
"When are this current group of players going to actually wise up and make a stand against football's powers that be so they get the best duty of care… it's so idiotic."
Headway's chief executive Luke Griggs added: "It is hard to fathom the flawed logic behind this bitterly disappointing decision.
"The argument for the continuation of the current system appears to be that permanent concussion substitutes prevent injured players from returning to the pitch and therefore is a safer system, but this completely misrepresents the benefits of temporary concussion substitutes.
"We commend the Premier League and FA for making the case for temporary concussion substitutions, but all that has been achieved by this decision is to deny the application of an additional layer of protection to players and further damage football's credibility when it comes to brain injury."

The Saga of Ian Fleming's Supposedly 'Last Interview'
009 / June 1, 2016
Article by Revelator
It's one of the most obscure mysteries in Bondology. In July 1965 a "magazine for men" named Saga published what it offensively called "Ian Fleming's Last Interview: How to Take Any Woman…James Bond Style!" The note from the editor read:
In the summer of 1964, French journalist Alain Ayache interviewed Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. Fleming agreed to sit for another interview at a later date in Switzerland. But Fleming died in September [sic], 1964. Ayache went over his notes carefully and decided to release them unedited, in Ian Fleming's own words. Here in a SAGA exclusive, is Ian Fleming on the subject closest to James Bond's heart.
The mystery begins with a problem: the interview doesn't read anything like an interview. It reads like a lengthy article—on how to pick up women. It sticks resolutely to the subject, with none of the tangents typical to a normal interview, unless Ayache had asked Fleming only one question and received a very long response.
Was the magazine playing an elaborate prank? It lacked the imagination for it. Saga was published from 1950 to 1983, and initially focused on "men's adventure" stories before deteriorating into Maxim-style pin-ups in the late 70s. The issue with Fleming's "interview" also boasted extracts from The Quiller Memorandum, lurid non-fiction stories ("The Air Force Academy Made Us Steal") and helpful pieces like "How to get a top $$$ job overseas" and "I can lead you to millions in sunken treasure."
And what about the interviewer? Was he for real? Indeed: Alain Ayache (1936-2008) was a French journalist who eventually became a newspaper publisher. In the early 1960s he wrote for newspapers such as Paris-Presse and Aux Écoutes. Could it be that he approached the ailing Fleming for an interview and was fobbed off with an article Fleming had been unable to flog elsewhere? Or perhaps, in stereo-typically French fashion, he'd asked Fleming to write a Bondean guide to seduction, which he published in France and then offered to Saga!
Perhaps Ayache wrote the article himself and duped the Americans. If so, he must have been a careful student of Fleming, since the text references Jamaica, Bond's beretta, unpalatable special cocktails, Bond's comma of hair, and—most importantly of all—it captures Fleming's tone, style, and personality. Anyone familiar with Pearson and Lycett's biographies will recognize Fleming's voice in this "interview."
Furthermore, its pick-up artist advice corresponds to the techniques that Fleming used to become a successful lady-killer in his younger days. Play hard-to-get, he advises. Have an air of pre-occupation that creates intrigue. Keep your distance and be a man of mystery: reticent, offering only cryptic information about yourself. Don't be afraid to occasionally seem aloof, silent, indifferent, or even rude. All of this describes Fleming's style of self-presentation: Leave 'em wanting more, as they say in show business.
Nowadays, pick-up artistry is in rightful disrepute, and there's something repulsively cynical in reading such articles. But one should also note that Fleming's advice, which stops far short of the bedroom, is tempered by an old-fashioned sense of fair play: "Women like strong men, but not brutes." Or, as he writes earlier, "The most important thing is to make sure of the complicity of the woman you're dancing with, but not to abuse the circumstances." As for whether Fleming's advice still works today, that's best left for readers to find out, to their benefit—or peril. In the meantime, if you have clues that can solve the mystery of this "interview," please share them with us!

I have been trying (in vain) to find another interview Fleming may have given in 1964 – some notes here:

That's quite a tantalizing mystery Alan, and after a brief search I confess to being stumped. I hope it exists and that it will turn up, especially since more and more newspaper archives are being digitized.

Q: How can I set cursor position with OpenTK? I am working on an FPS Camera with the latest version of OpenTK (2.0.0.0) and I want to use mouse delta movement to control the pitch/yaw of the camera. For that I need to reposition the cursor to the center of the window but I cannot find a way to set the cursor position. I looked under GameWindow.Mouse and GameWindow.Cursor and I only found a way to get the cursor position, not set it.
How do I set the cursor position ?

A: You can set the mouse position by using OpenTK.Input.Mouse:
OpenTK.Input.Mouse.SetPosition(x, y);

"without having to wade through the sea of humanity and selfie sticks to get to the front of the line." Had to laugh at this. Such is the way of travel in Europe these days.


At domains.co.za, we have a soft spot for those in need, especially those who cannot stand up for themselves. We have therefore sponsored a large number of our branded BPA free water bottles to The Society for Animals in Distress (SAID), DL Link, The Smile Foundation, Reach for a dream, the Hope Foundation (to name a few) to use as part of their Cycle Challenge goody bags.
To date, domains.co.za have sponsored thousands of water bottles to over 65 charities to show our appreciation for the good work these guys are doing.
The Society for Animals in Distress (SAID) is the single largest welfare vet care provider in SA. It has been assisting domestic animals since 1958 and currently treat around 100 000 animals a year. The Society is dependent on donations from the public and companies, and are continuously organising social events that contribute towards fundraising. One of these is their annual Dog Jog (2km & 5km), which took place on the 6th of October 2018 at Vorna Valley, Midrand. Every entry to that event will fund the sterilisation of a dog. SAID will also participate at this year's 947 Cycle Challenge to raise awareness for the charity.
DL Link offers cancer patients with love and support and provides communities with training to help care for people suffering from cancer.
The well-known NGO is aimed at providing corrective plastic and reconstructive surgery to children in SA with a facial abnormality. To date they have assisted over 2500 children with surgery to correct abnormalities due to a Cleft Lip, burns etc.
The H.O.P.E. Foundation (Helping Our People & Environment) is a charity that focuses on uplifting rural and impoverished communities in SA through social development programmes. The charity also addresses environmental conservation and awareness.
Reach for a dream is another well known charity. This charity focuses on fulfilling the dreams of children with life-threatening illnesses.
We wish each of the charities and NGOs best of luck with their endeavours for the rest of the year.


A pool heater or heat pump will keep your pool season going late into the fall.
Labor Day weekend is here and with it the traditional end to summer, as sad as it is. But honestly, there are some traditions that just don't deserve to be around. Buck the trend and keep the poolside fun going for a few extra months with a pool heater or pool pump.
Heat pumps have one big advantage over pool heaters, they run on electricity which means lower operating costs when compared to a pool heater. Plus, they can operate off of the existing electrical set up installed with your pool. An electric condenser warms cold pool water by extracting and condensing the heat from the outside air. Despite the lower operating costs and no need to install new utility hookups, heat pumps have a major disadvantage for those looking to really extend their pool season. Heat pumps cost more initially than pool heaters, and cannot operate at temperatures under 50-degrees.
Pool heaters are a bit more simple than heat pumps, and work at any temperature. They operate by using natural gas and a burner to warm pool water as it flows through the system, just like a home water heater. Natural gas is more expensive than electricity, so operating costs will be higher than with heat pumps. A pool heater will be generally less expensive upfront than a heat pump, but a high number of moving parts in the system means there's more of a chance something might break.

Is 3D printing the future of personalized fashion?
For industrial design master's student Jessica Joosse, the fourth industrial revolution transforming industries worldwide is here for fashion and textiles too. And an Ultimaker 3D printer is the perfect tool to embrace and explore the possibilities.
Jessica discovered 3D printing as a student at Eindhoven University of Technology and saw the value in being able to quickly turn design ideas into products. Her aim is to create fashion products ready for a world where consumers can be more connected to designers and brands.
The results are a mixture of some more traditional textile designs with 3D printed fastenings, buttons, or patterns, alongside entirely 3D printed items.
Using an Ultimaker 2+ to create 3D printed fittings.
A collar with 3D printed pattern details.
The process starts with research into what kinds of fabric will work with 3D printing. Then when one is selected, it goes straight onto the build plate and is secured with tape or clips. To get the precision she needs, Jessica uses an augmented reality app to perfectly position the area of the garment that will be 3D printed on the build plate.
For larger designs, the fabric can be shifted and a new print done on another area, overcoming the limitations of the 3D printer's build volume.
Like all the best design, Jessica uses 3D printing to achieve a combination of aesthetics and function. Patterns and finishing added to a garment using a 3D printer can also serve a practical purpose, like belt loops and zippers.
These PLA buttons are printed directly onto the textile.
3D printing TPU details eliminates the need for stitching on this garment.
As well as printing on fabrics like cotton and denim, Jessica says 3D printing can also "fuse" designs into synthetic fabrics. Using semi-flexible 3D printing materials, including TPU 95A and DSM's Arnitel allow the designs to flex to fit the body's forms.
Combining these innovative methods and materials mean that Jessica can create designs that simply wouldn't be possible with any other approach. "An Ultimaker 3D printer can make anything I imagine. With a sewing machine you are limited.", says Jessica.
Together with fellow student Fabienne van der Weiden, Jessica has started Labeledby, a company which offers a service to fashion designers and brands to help them innovate their production methods. And for this project as well, the Ultimaker has turned out to be crucial!
To see more of her research and fabulous designs, you can follow Jessica on Instagram.

Gender policy opens debate on homosexuality
By Alfred Masokola
MP for Mahalapye East Tshireletso Botlogile said the gender policy is shying away from addressing issues of homosexuality.
The National Policy on Gender and Development currently debated in parliament has opened up a debate on the thorny issue of homosexuality which has been an elusive subject for national debate by various politicians.
The policy, which was tabled by Minister of Labour and Home Affairs Edwin Batshu last week, will replace the current Women in Development Policy. Batshu said the introduction of this policy was facilitated by the verity that gender has become a prominent item on the agenda and dialogue of all recent international meetings.
The policy frame work debate was nearly closed last week when no MP raised to debate the frame work after it was tabled before parliament. However, Boko made a request to the Speaker of the National Assembly to have the debate deferred to a later debate to give MPs ample time to study the policy frame work since the gender policy was too important to not be debated.
Debating the policy frame work this week, Leader of Opposition and Member of Parliament for Gaborone Bonnington South Duma Boko argued that it is imperative for gender, in the modern day to not only be treated as a matter about males and females but with the inclusion of transgendered people as well.
Boko noted that although adoption of the new policy is a positive move, a lot of important factors remain unaddressed and renders the document inadequate. While previously the issue of gender policy and empowerment was only associated with women the new one moved further to include men as part of the agenda.
However Boko said the exclusion of critical issues like inter-sex and transgender makes the policy discriminatory as it would not uplift people who fall under that category. "Gender is a complex matter and the policy should have approached it in a holistic manner," he stated, "It excludes and fails to recognise them."
Supporting Boko's views, MP for Mahalapye East Tshireletso Botlogile said the gender policy is shying away from addressing issues of homosexuality. Botlogile said the time has arrived for Botswana to open up a national debate on homosexuality because other countries have recognised it. "This gender policy gives us opportunities as MPs to talk about issues of homosexuality and abortion," she expressed.
"It should be part and parcel of the commission which the minister seeks to establish."
Tshireletso who has been vocal and emerged as a strong proponent of abortion and homosexuality said majority of legislators are afraid of debating these issues openly because of fear of how people will react to their views on these controversial topics. "We all know that there are people who are homosexuals and we live with them but we are afraid of talking about it," he said. "We see it the world over that countries are have made progress in decriminalising these issues."
Tshireletso said she was a target of number of non-governmental organisation ahead of 2014 general elections among them a religious based organisation Evangelist Fellowship Botswana (EFB) which stated that legislators and politicians who supported homosexuality and abortion should not be voted.
Tshireletso said legislators should not allow and use culture and religion to justify discrimination of some section of the society, and insisted that culture is dynamic. "We should not allow people to live a sad life for the fear of being victimised," she said. "There is no need to fear these changes and government should enact a law."
Former Minister of Education and Skills Development Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi also said the policy should encompass factors raised by Boko to ensure that the rights of others are taken into account. Venson-Moitoi supported the gender policy and said it will address protection of spouses in marriage. She said while the law recognises marital rape, the recognition is allowed in favour of women not men.
Other MPs who supported the inclusion of homosexuality include MP for Tati East Guma Moyo who said there was scientific evidence that some people are born with hormonal imbalance resulting in people being transgendered.
Women are their own enemy
Interestingly, Boko, on the issue of women empowerment revealed that women are their own enemies. He said that women do not make significant numbers in politics and positions of power because some women play a pivotal role in ensuring that other women do not reach the same heights as them.
"We have women who when they ascend to positions of power kick the ladder to ensure that no other woman will emulate them," he contended. "Women take pride in being the first and only to achieve certain mileages."
Boko referred the house to various studies conducted in previous years that most women were not comfortable being led by other women. "Once in power, most women even in the corporate industry become petty, jealousy and arrogant making it difficult for other women to succeed their leadership," he contended, "Women are partly to blame for the current state of affairs."

The Vegan Revolution: Celebrities Behind Vegan Brands
4 Min Read	 11.9.2020	 By Andrew Richardson
What was once a relatively niche diet has certainly transformed into a cultural staple over the last few years. Veganism was once viewed as fringe movement, with vegans having to visit health food stores to do their grocery shopping. The number of vegans in the UK quadrupled between 2016 and 2018, and last year there were 600,000 recorded vegans. The number is expected to continue rising exponentially, forecasted to make up a quarter of the British population in 2025.
There are numerous reasons personal to each individual who decided to make the transition to a plant-based diet; animal welfare, environmental impacts, and health reasons. The popularity of veganism has garnered so much attention, including from businesses — once, a vegan meal would've consisted of a jacket potato and beans. Now, the options are limitless, with jackfruit burgers and vegan sausage rolls.
But there's also another contributing factor at play which is helping shape the vegan market: celebrity influence. Our society places emphasis on the influence of those in the limelight, following trends from celebrities whether it's fitness, fashion, or dietary preferences. Here, we'll take a look at celebrities who are supporting the movement and how they're shaping the vegan market.
Changing the Script with Game Changers
Academy award-winning film-maker James Cameron has been on the forefront of education, setting out to expose myths and misconceptions around the vegan diet with Netflix's The Game Changers. As a long-time environmental advocate, in 2011, Cameron went vegan to lower his carbon footprint while also finding that his health improved too.
The documentary has a fresh take on veganism by considering the effects of eating meat and dairy. Where previous documentaries have targeted the ethics and emotions of animal lovers and environmentalists, The Game Changers changes the script and targets a different demographic — health conscious consumers and athletes. The documentary reports that meat, fish, eggs, and dairy can hinder athletic performance, damage our hearts, impair sexual function, and shorten our life span.
A lot more men are becoming "plant curious" after watching this documentary, which has helped spark the debate around health. Iconic and inspirational athletes such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and medical professionals such as the former president of the American College of Cardiology Dr Kim Williams and founder of the Preventative Medicine Research Institute Dr Dean Ornish explain their reasons for going vegan and how this has legitimately improved their lives.
"The previous documentaries in some ways paved the way for this," says Damian Soong, CEO and co-founder of Form Nutrition, a vegan nutrition brand, "there is now a greater acceptance and awareness of climate change, and the impact of industrial farming, and the press around meat means it's very much in the public consciousness."
Cameron has also teamed up with director Peter Jackson to develop plant-based protein from alfalfa to provide New Zealand with vegan opportunities to mitigate the country's struggling farming industry.
Celebrity Investments
Research has found that bacon is the meat that most meat eaters would miss if they went vegetarian or vegan, so it's no surprise that vegan brand Outstanding Foods has cooked up a storm with Pig Out snacks. A plant-based alternative to pork rinds. Pig Out is made with mushrooms, sunflower oil, sea salt, and other vegan components. The snack has been getting investment from a list of celebrities including Snoop Dogg, Jared Followill, Alexandra Paul, Emily Deschanel, Cesar Milan, Dierks Bentley, and Alan Cunning.
Designed to replicate the lingering salty and crispy flavour of bacon, Pig Out is a healthier alternative, ideal for both vegans, vegetarians, and health conscious millennial 'flexitarians' who are looking to cut down on their meat consumption.
Outstanding Foods described Snoop's investment as indicating 'a new era for the brand', with the rapper launching a dedicated website to sell the snack.
As well as Outstanding Foods, the award-winning rapper has taken an interest in plant-based foods lately, investing in vegan burger brand Beyond Meat. Beyond Meat's share prices dropped in 2017, which was given a boost by Snoop. Beyond Meat collaborated with Dunkin' Donuts to create the eye-catching Beyond D-O-Double G Sandwich — a Beyond Meat patty on a layer of egg, American cheese, sandwiched in a glazed doughnut, which resulted in the company's share price rising by more than 20 per cent. Although this burger is vegetarian rather than vegan, it shows how celebrity endorsement can help pave the way for a meat-free world and help provide a meat-free alternative for flexitarians looking to cut down, just like Snoop. More meat-free burgers for us!
Veganism Dominates the Oscars
At the 92nd Academy Awards, veganism was pushed into prominence of the Hollywood elite. When accepting his award for best actor, Joaquin Phoenix used his moment on stage to address inequalities in the world, including animal welfare.
In his speech, Phoenix stated: "I think we've become very disconnected from the natural world." Adding, "We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow and when she gives birth, we steal her baby, even though her cries of anguish are unmistakable. And then we take her milk that's intended for the calf and we put it in our coffee and cereal."
The Joker actor has been an instrumental influence in the vegan community, convincing The Golden Globe's to adopt an entirely vegan menu just days before their awards ceremony. While Phoenix does not own or explicitly associate himself with a particular vegan brand, his actions show that organisations can be persuaded to take positions on animal welfare and opt for friendlier and more sustainable food options.

Q: Which is a better string searching algorithm? Boyer-Moore or Boyer Moore Horspool? The Boyer Moore algorithm has a a preprocessing time of Θ(m + |Σ|) and a matching time of Ω(n/m), O(n). I understand that Boyer Moore Horspool is an advancement of Simplified Boyer Moore itself, however its average case complexity is O(N) and worst case O(MN) according to this Wikipedia article. So in the worst case it should be slower than the Boyer Moore algorithm. But this classic survey by University of Chile shows that the Boyer-Moore horspool outperforms Boyer Moore almost every time. I am confused! Which one should I use (for small as well as large patterns) for string searching and which algorithm has a greater significance in the practical world (I am just a Computer science student)?

A: The key word is "almost". The worst-case behavior can be for a vanishingly small number of cases. Average behavior in real life and asymptotic behavior are also rather loosely coupled. The best case behavior of Boyer-Moore-Horspool is the same as for Boyer-Moore. The worst case for Boyer-Moore-Horspool is quite a bit worse than for Boyer-Moore. For typical use, Boyer-Moore-Horspool tends to be about the same as Boyer-Moore, but with a little better (lower) overhead and initialization costs.
Which one to use? It depends on your goals and what you expect in the way of patterns and text to be searched. Neither is particularly hard to implement, so why not do both and compare the results yourself. (See what happens when you admit that you're a student? You get an assignment! :))

This game requires a heavy previous download. However, you'll see how much it's worthy of it thanks to Dogbytes' great job.
Throughout more than fifty tracks you will drive a monster truck with the mere goal of arriving to the end line the faster the better. In your way you will make great jumps and your shock absorbers will have to do their job unless you prefer to crash. One of the main features of this game is that along the realistic physics engine (as realistic as jumping to a certain death in a vehicle weighing three or four tons can be), there's a damage system you have to take care of everytime. It isn't an easy game in any of its three game modes, but we're sure you're tired of easy nonsense games and will appreciate it.
Graphics and camera movements are outstanding, it's free (ad-supported) and in the rare case you get bored you can always crash your monster truck over and over to check how many ways to blow it off are.
Crash the barriers and fly above bottomless chasms with Monster Trucks, 4x4 off-roaders and six wheeled Behemoths!
