Albufeira () is a city and seat of its own municipality in the district of Faro, in the southernmost Portuguese region of Algarve. The municipality population in 2021 was 44,158, in an area of . The city proper had a population of 28,645 in 2021. It is  from Lisbon, and is within close proximity of Paderne Castle. Lagoa is located  to the west, and Faro  to the south-east. A tourist destination (due to its coastal conditions), Albufeira expands to approximately 300,000 residents during the summer and during the Christmas and New Year celebrations, owing to the number of hotels and lodgings in its municipality, that includes marina facilities, golf courses, restaurants and bars for the annual flood of visitors.

History

It is unclear when the first settlements specifically formed in the region of Albufeira, although scientific research suggests origins during the pre-historic epoch, and that the town of Albufeira formed as an out-port of the maritime fishery. The primitive settlement was occupied by the Romans, who named it Baltum, introducing a centralized administrative structure and developing intense agricultural activities along with commerce. The Romans constructed aqueducts, roads and bridges, of which parts still remain.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the region was ruled by Germanic peoples like the Visigoths. In the early 8th century, it was conquered by invading Muslims from northern Africa. The modern name originated from the Arabic word al-Buħayra (البحيرة), for the lagoon, in reference to the lagoon that formed in the lowlands. The Moors constructed strong defensive structures, making the area almost impregnable, allowing this area to remain in the hands of their forces longer than other possessions in Portugal. The development of agriculture during this period was notable, with the introduction of new techniques and plant species. The Moors used the plow and fertilizers, as well as winches for lifting the water from the wells, introducing the irrigation of fields, constructing dams and transforming uncultivated areas into gardens and orchards.

Middle Ages
The Christian conquest of the region began at the end of the 12th century. When Afonso III of Portugal occupied the throne, most of the Algarve had already fallen into the hands of the Christians. Templar and Hospitaller Knights, military and religious orders that supported the Reconquista, assaulted many of the lands occupied by the Arabs, but were never successful in taking Albufeira. It was following the capture of Faro that the siege of Albufeira became unsupportable. Encircled by enemy forces on all sides, it fell in 1249 to the forces of Afonso III, who donated the lands to the Order of Aviz in 1250. The Moors were persecuted terribly by the victorious army, which chased the remaining forces into a cavern, known today as Cova do Xorino, situated near the southern limits of the old city. The town became part of the kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves. King D. Manuel I awarded a Charter (foral) to the Town of Albufeira on 20 August 1504 and from that day the town was governed according to the legislation in force for the rest of the country.

18th and 19th centuries

Albufeira was one of the towns of the Algarve most affected by natural calamities, but it was the 1755 Lisbon earthquake which caused the worst damage. The sea invaded the town with  waves, destroying almost all the buildings along the coast. In the town proper, only 27 residential buildings survived the natural disaster, but in states of ruin. The parochial church, an old mosque adapted by the Christians, where many of the residents sought refuge during the cataclysm, collapsed causing 227 deaths. Even following these events, the Algarve continued to experience aftershocks, until 20 August of the following year, which hindered the reconstruction under the Bishop D. Francisco Gomes de Avelar.

In 1833, during the Liberal Wars between absolutist and liberal forces, Albufeira was encircled and attacked by Remexido's soldiers: an anti-liberal, absolutist leader who was as popular as feared and damaged the village's buildings, having executed many of its inhabitants as well. After the 19th century, the community grew through the expansion of the fishery. This is why the locals annually celebrate 'Festival de Peixes', which has been tradition and serves to honor the fisheries in Albufeira that helped with the growth of the city.

20th century
In the first decades of the 20th century, the export of fish and nuts represented the largest contribution to the local economy of the municipality. The town itself had five factories employing 700-800 people, mostly wives of fishermen working in local production. Yet, between 1930 and 1960, there was a considerable decline in fortunes, resulting in the closing of many of these factories, the reduction in fishing boats along the coast and the abandonment of many of the homes. The population was reduced by half and the fishing industry became a subsistence activity, supporting local consumption only.

The town started to become a hub for tourism in the 1960s, and has grown to accommodate this since, growing out into the surrounding hills to accommodate thousands of the 5 million tourists who visit the Algarve region each year.

Geography

Since 2013, Albufeira is divided into four freguesias (civil parishes):

The relations between the state and the church constitute a significant aspect of the human life, which has existed since the beginning of our era. The aim of this article is to show the fundamental elements which influenced the creation of the bonds between the state and the church in the universal dimension. By means of the preliminary archival research and with the help of gathered literature dealing with the subject, the circumstances which lead to the revival and the continuation of the official diplomatic relations between Poland and the Holy See in the interwar period were examined. It should be noted that the attitude of Vatican towards the The Polish case was an important element of the diplomatic efforts of the successive The Popes of the time between the world wars. The mentioned relations, which took place in the years 1918 – 1939 present also the current conduct of the believers who are mainly the citizens of the regions where the Roman Catholic religion dominates, particularly of Poland.

Атыф Йылмаз Батыбеки () — турецкий кинорежиссер, сценарист и кинопродюсер. За свою творческую карьеру он снял 119 фильмов, создал 53 сценарии фильмов и был продюсером 28 кинокартин, начиная с 1951 года и является своеобразной легендой турецкой киноиндустрии.

Детство
Атыф Йылмаз родился 9 декабря 1925 года в турецком городе Мерсин, в курдском семье, происходившей из Палу. После окончания школы в Мерсине, он поступает на юридический факультет Стамбульского университета. Но заинтересованность искусством преобладает, и он оставив юриспруденцию, вступает в стамбульской Академии искусств на факультет живописи. После окончания университета он некоторое работает в мастерской как художник. В дальнейшем живопись, как отмечал сам Атыф, помог ему в создании фильмов.

Личная жизнь
Атыф Йылмаз трижды был женат. Первой женой была актриса Нурхан Нур. От этого брака у кинохудожника родилась дочь Кезбан Арджа (Батыбеки). После развода, его второй женой стала драматург Айше Шаса. Последний раз Атыф женился на Дениз Тюркали, дочери турецкого писателя, киносценариста и режиссера Ведата Тюркали.

Кинокарьера
В начале своего творческого пути Атыф работал кинокритиком, выполняя некоторые зарисовки и сочиняя сценарии к фильмам для того, чтобы заработать себе на жизнь. После работы в двух кинокартинах, как помощник режиссера Семиха Эвина в 1950 году, он создаёт фильм Kanlı Feryat (Кровавый плач). В 1960 году он создал собственную кинокомпанию «Yerli Film» вместе с актером Орханом Гюншираем.

Среди важнейших фильмов в кинобиографии Атыфа можно выделить следующие:

 Hıçkırık;
 Alageyik;
 Suçlu;
 Seni Kaybedersem;
 Yaban Gülü;
 Keşanlı Ali Destanı;
 Taçsız Kral;
 Toprağın Kanı;
 Ölüm Tarlası;
 Utanç;
 Zavallılar;
 1977 — Красная косынка / Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalım;
 Baskin;
 Adak;

Bir Yudum Sevgi;

 Adı Vasfiye;
 Berdel;
 Düş Gezginleri;
 Сентября Fırtınası;
 Mine.

Все фильмы режиссера несут определенный социальный смысл. Большинство из тем, поднимавшихся в кинофильмах, были табу в турецком обществе на момент их выхода на экраны. В частности фильмы «Шахта» (тур. Mine) и «Её зовут Васфие» (тур. Adı Vasfiye) где поднят революционные на то время темы сексуальности и общественная реакция на это.

Атыф Йылмаз, в отличие от других турецких кинопроизводителей, что по экономическим причинам приостанавливали свою деятельность, ни разу не делал перерыва в своей режиссерской карьере.

Также он сыграл важную роль в становлении таких известных турецких кинорежиссеров, как Халит Рефии, Йылмаз Гюней, Шериф Гёрен, Зеки Октен и Али Озгентюрк.

С 1991 года — почётный доктор университета Хаджеттепе.

Во время проведения в сентябре 2005 года кинофестиваля в Анталии его госпитализировали с жалобами на желудочно-кишечный тракт. Умер Атыф Йылмаз 5 мая 2006 года в Стамбуле.

Is visual fatigue changing the perceived depth accuracy on an autostereoscopic display?
Author(s): Marcus Barkowsky; Romain Cousseau; Patrick Le Callet
In this paper, a subjective study is presented which aims to measure the minimum perceivable depth difference on an autostereoscopic display in order to provide an indication for visual fatigue. The developed experimental setup was used to compare the subject's performance before and after 3D excitation on an autostereoscopic display. By comparing the results to a verification session with 2D excitation, the effect of 3D visual fatigue can be isolated. It was seen that it is possible to reach the threshold of acuity for stereo disparity on that autostereoscopic display. It was also found that the measured depth acuity is slightly higher after 3D viewing than after 2D viewing.

FLORIDA POWER TO CUT RATES
John C. Van Gieson , Sentinel Tallahassee BureauTHE ORLANDO SENTINEL
Florida Power Corp. has settled a dispute with Public Counsel Jack Shreve over its profit margin by agreeing to reduce rates by $54 million effective Jan. 1, Shreve and the company announced Monday.
The agreement, which must be approved by the Public Service Commission, calls for a 4.6 percent reduction in Florida Power's rates for one year. The rate for using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month, an average amount for a home, would drop from $72.12 to $68.74.
The rate change negotiated by Shreve and Florida Power is in addition to a reduction in fuel charges that was approved by the PSC last month. That reduction - $9.24 per 1,000 kilowatt hours - is to take effect Wednesday.
Shreve and Florida Power issued a joint statement saying that they "have agreed that the current nature of our economy and the effect of the new tax laws offer an opportunity for us to reduce retail electric rates for calendar year 1987."
The agreement calls for Florida Power to reduce rates by $28 million to $32 million, Shreve said, because the tax-reform law passed by Congress last week is expected to lower the utility's tax rate from 46 percent to 40 percent.
He said the agreement calls for a reduction of $22 million to $26 million in Florida Power's profit for 1987.
Florida Power, based in St. Petersburg, is the state's second-largest electric utility. The company serves nearly 1 million customers, including 350,000 in Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Lake counties. The company reported 1985 profit of $1.54 million on revenue of $1.5 billion.
Florida Power spokesman David Waldrop said the agreement will reduce the company's return on equity from 15.5 percent to 13.5 percent. A utility's return on equity is the profit authorized by the PSC on stockholders' investments.
As part of the agreement, Shreve agreed not to pursue his petition calling for a permanent reduction in Florida Power's return on equity because the company's costs have gone down.
The PSC still will consider the return on equity issue today, however, in a petition filed by Shreve against Florida Power and Light Co., the state's largest electric utility.
Shreve said he decided not to insist on an immediate rate reduction by Florida Power Corp. because the company's taxes will not be lowered until Jan. 1 and because the agreement still has to be approved by the PSC. Spokesman Bill Gibson said it probably will be late October before the PSC can act on the Florida Power agreement.

The trouble with atheists is that they are fighting a battle with a delusion, which is not that surprising. Atheists pride themselves on being "not stupid," after all, and they aren't. Atheists can see the patent absurdity of God as a violent, abusive, and controlling patriarch, and they can see the ideological web of lies that go into its construction. They know it is foolish to believe in such a farce, and so they don't. They reject the absurdity and settle, most often, into a lifetime commitment to the Church of Secular Humanism, and then they die. And good for them (slow clap, clap). Secular Humanism is most certainly a step forward from the ideologically rooted dogma of church and temple. But, as a former atheist myself I would like, for the record, to say, that rejecting the nonsense of the Western Church is not the only step forward we need to take. Rejecting the ecclesiastical image of God, what I like to call "[spwiki]Church God[/spwiki]" (i.e. a God as violent, abusive, authoritarian patriarch in the sky) frees you from the ideological clutches of the Church, but it doesn't put you in contact with the full truth. Rejecting [spwiki]Church God[/spwiki] is, I would say, only the first step out of the dark forest of the dark ages.
The billion dollar question at this point is, what's the next step? Well, the next step is to realize that despite all the lies the Church has told, despite the presence of elite ideology and nefarious intent in the spirituality of this planet, humans are not, as the song says, merely dust in the wind. We are something more. Don't believe me? I hate to drop names, but Einstein, several famous physicists, not a few psychologists, and a small handful of sociologists (Edward Carpenter, for example, Hermanns, and me) have suspected (and even researched) this for quite some time. If you have only taken that first step, i.e. if you have only rejected the sanctimonious elite ideology of [spwiki]Church God[/spwiki], you might be surprised by this statement—but don't be. Despite what polemicists like Dawkins would have you believe, there has been a reasonable amount of reasonable scholarly interest in the "something more" of human spirituality.
Of course, I understand that if you are an atheist you may have trouble with this. Strong feelings may be invoked in the hard atheist heart by suggestions that we take human spirituality seriously, or that some legitimate scientists have shown a genuine scholarly interest. I understand why you might have trouble because I was an atheist once as well, and so I know the drill.I know exactly why atheists reject the authenticity of human spirituality. They reject it for the same reasons I rejected it. They reject it because they think it is a stupid, false delusion. And it is false, and arguably stupid, particularly the abusive patriarch part. But it is not all false, it is not all stupid, and it is certainly not all delusion. In fact, some of if it is darkly brilliant. If you ask me, Western exoteric and esoteric spirituality is a genius system of thought/behaviour control, put in place to, well, control the thought and behavior of the human masses. I got a glimpse of this brilliance when examining the Western Tarot deck which, as I demonstrated in an article entitled The Sociology of Tarot, is an ideological tool of the ruling class. Indeed, as I research I find that Western ecclesiastical institutions, and perhaps Eastern "spiritual" institutions as well, are very clearly about behavioral control of the masses. But just because elite institutions are about social control, and just because some of the concepts they use to engage this control are silly ideologies, and wrong, doesn't mean the whole of human spirituality is an elite bred superstitious farce. That is, what the elite priests and gurus have to offer is not the sum total of human spiritual experience. These are merely corruptions, interferences if you like, attacks if you will, on the authentic core of human spirituality. What you find in the elite funded nave of your organized ideological institutions of "faith" does not represent authentic spirituality any more than a horse drawn carriage represents a modern self-driving automobile. They represent elite interference in the connection process, bald face attempts to suppress the powerful and transformative spirituality of the human physical unit, or ridiculous (but effective, I'm afraid) attempts to scare the masses into submission, and nothing more.
Of course, I have to admit, as an atheist it wasn't easy seeing beyond my illogical over generalizations, irrational assumptions, and dogmatic superstitions. It wasn't easy admitting there was "something more" worth looking at. I was the worst of the worst of the atheists, arrogant, strident, and staunch. I used my presumed intellectual superiority to arrogantly bash the duped, deluded, and deceived believer wherever and whenever I could. It took a massive blow to my cherished materialist world view to open me up to the possibility that my atheist worldview was wrong, even naive. It took even more to get me to a point where I'd be willing to ask some honest questions and explore with open minded curiosity. That I'm talking to you now not as a religious man (i.e. someone who believes in Church God) but as an explorer (i.e. someone who believes there is something more, and wants to find out what that is) is a major personal/ideological breakthrough. I'm cautious about stating this because I know what the materialists and atheists will think, and I know what some will say. They will think I want to talk about Church God and they will, as Peter Berger once said, dismiss it is as stupid superstition beyond the pale of respectable parties. But what can I say but this: believe me when I say, I don't want to talk about Church God because Church God is a nonsense fiction used to control the masses. I do, however, want to talk about mystical/religious experience because, as William Stace says, mystical/religious experience is "a psychological fact of which there is abundant evidence…. To deny or doubt that it exists as a psychological fact is not a reputable opinion. It is ignorance and very stupid."

become a successful online entrepreneur.
need to plan carefully and execute well.
The internet has revolutionized business — it has broadened marketplaces, made products and services available to everyone and lowered the barriers to starting a successful company. With the right approach and understanding, anyone can become a successful online entrepreneur.
But turning your idea into a successful business is about much more than launching a website, writing a couple of blog posts and using social media. Just like traditional businesses, business success online requires hard work and dealing with rapidly changing tools and processes. The low barrier to entry in owning an online business means that competition is intense; if you want to be a success, you need to plan carefully and execute well.
The question is, just where do you start? Here at Incfile, we know the answer, and we've shared it with more 100,000 people who we've helped in forming their business. Since 2004, we've supported online entrepreneurs just like you to get into business online, and we're proud to have been a part of the internet business revolution.
Here is our simple guide to starting up a successful online business. From exploring the types of business you can go into through validation and research, to the legalities of setting up your business and the realities of your day to day operations, this guide is here to help.
Read on for some insight into creating your own online business and becoming an internet entrepreneur.
This is why online businesses are so exciting — how can you be part of that success? We're here to help you figure that out.
This is a great field if you can provide services other businesses and individuals are willing to pay for. From freelance writers and designers to editors and virtual assistants, the internet is a fantastic way to sell your skills far and wide. You have the option of promoting yourself or joining a freelance marketplace like Upwork, Freelancer or Fiverr.
If you have a flair for the creative, then the internet can help you develop a following for your work. Whether you're a photographer, videographer, musician, designer or artist, there are plenty of ways to monetize your skills. From the Etsy shop to Cafepress and DeviantArt to Smashwords, there are lots of ways to reach your audience.
For those with a more technical skillset, developing mobile and online applications can be a great business to get into. Software as a service (SaaS) and smartphone application development are rapidly growing fields with plenty of opportunities for the right people.
If you're great at building connections, marketing could be for you. Whether you start up your own agency, promote yourself as a social media expert or get involved in affiliate marketing, there are some awesome opportunities if you can learn to stand out.
The gig economy has created business owners of many of us. Whether it's AirBNB, TaskRabbit, Lyft or something else, there are lots of opportunities for people wanting to make an income on the side. With commitment, these can even become full-time ways to earn an online living.
If you can build up a huge following, blogging and publishing articles could be a lucrative business idea. You sell ads alongside the articles through services like Google AdSense and take a cut of the money earned.
These areas are just starting points — there are hundreds of different types of online businesses. Once you've identified the areas you'd like to go into, you need to validate your online business idea.
Start by checking you have the right skillset. For example, if you're going into freelancing, do you have a marketable skill you can sell? If you want to be an ecommerce entrepreneur, do you understand all about product marketing, profit margins, working with suppliers and getting customers?
Don't assume that just because it's online, it's easy. Every online business will have dozens or hundreds of competitors, and you need to stand out, deliver superior products and services, and excel in your chosen area.
Getting started in an online business is easy, but becoming a success is harder. Before committing too much time, energy and money into your new internet business, it's important to test the marketplace.
Identify your online business's unique selling points (USPs): Whether you're competing on features, price, quality, speed or something else, your USPs set you apart from competitors and encourage customers to come to you.
Look at who your competitors are in the space: Having competitors is a good thing as it shows there's a market, but if there are too many, you're likely to struggle without a really good USP.
Talk to clients: Speak with potential customers to understand what they want from your products and services, and validate this by asking if they would commit to spending real money on them.
Get involved with business communities and discussion groups: One of the great things about online business is that there are thousands of great communities and discussion groups. Get involved in them and learn the ins and outs of your chosen market before committing.
The thing to learn here is that it's okay to say "no" to your first, second or third online business ideas. Very few entrepreneurs get it right first time. In fact, getting it wrong is often a badge of honor in the online world! Still, you don't want to waste too much time, energy or money on the wrong initiatives, so ask and answer these questions honestly to find the right way forward.
Business plans are easily overlooked by online businesses — after all, if you're taking advantage of a third-party website, you don't need a business plan, right? Wrong.
You need to define how you're going to run your internet business, market yourself, get sales, make a profit and grow. This can only come about through creating a watertight business plan. It will help you get your thinking in order and show your commitment to your online business.
For more information on the advantages and disadvantages of different types of businesses, please see our in-depth guide. If you've still got questions, we've answered them to help you choose the right business structure.
In most cases, our recommendation for an online business would be to create an LLC. We've got a complete guide to everything you need to do, and we can even set one up for your business. LLC formation does vary from state to state, but we've got you covered, wherever you are.
Once you've legally created your business, you'll need to get some other things in place.
Almost all internet entrepreneurs can work from home or a shared working space. This is great as it reduces your office costs considerably. Don't forget that if you work from home, you can write off part of your utility and housing costs against your taxes.
It's likely that the only equipment you will need to run your online business is a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Marketing will be a huge part of your online business. Naturally, you will need an awesome website, but you'll also need to get branding, newsletters, digital ads, social media accounts and other channels in place.
Online entrepreneurs make extensive use of software; see our great list of the top apps at the end of this article.
To begin with, you probably won't need to hire anyone else for your online business, especially if you're a good administrator.
You will need a separate business bank account for your online business. You might also want to consider a business credit card. Additionally, you will also need to keep careful bookkeeping records and file business and personal taxes. Here at Incfile we can even help you file your taxes.
Even though you're running an online business, you can't escape real-world licenses, permits and regulations. You will need to explore local, state and federal licenses and permits, and we can also help out with researching your business licensing needs.
Taxes are a fact of life if you're in business, and there are various ways you will need to file and pay them. This can include self-employment tax, state income tax and federal income tax. Depending on where you're selling, you may also be liable for sales and use tax.
There are certain forms and legalities you need to follow to keep your internet business in good standing.
Most states require all businesses to file a report once a year. This report has details of any major changes to who owns a business and other major impacts on a business's legal status. We can file your Annual Report on your behalf.
Here are some really great online tools for managing your online business. They will reduce the time you spend on administration, help you to collaborate with others and free up your time to grow and manage your new venture.
Start your online business with us today.

The continuation of biblical prophecy runs like a thread from Jesus through Mani to Muhammad. And yet this thread, arguably the single most important characteristic of the Abrahamic movement, often remains outside the mainstream, hidden, as it were, since it.
The religious transformations that marked late antiquity represent an enigma that has challenged some of the West's greatest thinkers. But, according to Guy Stroumsa, the oppositions between paganism and Christianity that characterize prevailing theories have endured for too long/5.

Seductive embroidery, transparent net and a daring intertwinement of wide elastics. Moon, Lady Moon. Already in my element. We are just going out to dinner with Ivana. She picked an elegant dress that gently embraces her curves, which are discretely accentuated with my help. She looks like a real lady.
We meet up with her date in the city and he cannot hide his enthusiasm. Together, we go to a restaurant nearby. The conversation runs smoothly and, during the dinner, it is clear that the chemistry is there on both sides, accompanied by innocent flirtatious looks and a series of compliments. Despite the fact that their hearts are beating faster than ever, they seem really sophisticated.
... water. Ice cold water.
Amazed, I turn back to the table. There it is a visibly excited lady standing by the table – and she has poured a bucket full of ice cold water all over Ivana's date. It was an ice bucket, in which a nice bottle of sparkling wine had rested not long ago. She topped off the act with some juicy words. What is going on? I am surrounded by astonished faces.
The confused couple turns towards the frantic stranger, but then she herself halts in astonishment, takes a step back and starts apologizing. She made a mistake. She is really sorry. In a wave of anger, she had mistaken Ivana's date for someone else.
A moment of silence follows this series of fuzzy apologies.
The pair glance at one another in surprise, hesitate for a split second and then start laughing. Every day a new story.

Power And Prejudice: The Politics And Diplomacy Of Racial Discrimination, Second Edition / Edition 2 available in Paperback, NOOK Book
Power And Prejudice: The Politics And Diplomacy Of Racial Discrimination, Second Edition / Edition 2
by Paul Gordon LaurenPaul Gordon Lauren
5 New & Used from
Since it first appeared, Power and Prejudice has been hailed as a bold, pioneering work dealing with one of the central and most controversial issues of our time?the relationship between racial prejudice and global conflict. Powerfully written and based on documents from archives on several continents, this award-winning book convincingly demonstrates that the racial issue, or what W.E.B. Du Bois called ?the problem of the twentieth century,? has profoundly influenced most major developments in international politics and diplomacy.Lauren begins with a thought-provoking discussion of the heavy burden of history's pattern of conquest and slavery wherin skin color identified master and slave, conqueror and conquered. He then examines bitter twentieth-century conflicts over race, including immigration exclusion and the ?Yellow Peril,? the ?Final Solution? of the Holocaust, decolonization, the impact of the Cold War on the civil rights movement, and the global struggle against racial prejudice. In this new edition, Lauren adds dimensions about Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific, exploring the racial dimensions of immigration exclusion and warfare. He contributes significant new material about international issues regarding indigenous peoples around the world, including self-determination, sovereignty, and discrimination. And finally, he examines the dramatic events surrounding the end of apartheid in South Africa.Eloquent, provocative, and informed by first-rate scholarship, the insights of this highly original work will appeal to general readers as well as to students and scholars from a broad range of disciplines.

Last week, news broke that Amazon is in early talks with Warner Bros. and the J.R.R. Tolkien estate to develop a TV adaptation of the author's beloved novels. Tolkien's work was most famously brought to the big screen with Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy — and now, one of the original members of the Fellowship is weighing in on Amazon's proposed series.
Sean Astin, who starred as Samwise Gamgee, stopped by EW Radio (SiriusXM 105) to talk about his role in season 2 of Stranger Things. There, he spoke for the first time on Amazon's proposed LOTR series.
Anderson also asked Astin whether he'd be up for reprising his role as the brave, potato-loving Samwise Gamgee.
Astin added that he hoped Amazon would treat a possible Lord of the Rings series the same way Netflix treated Stranger Things — by stepping back and allowing the showrunners to deliver a good story.
It's unclear whether the Amazon series would retell Tolkien's original Lord of the Rings trilogy or focus on some other aspect of Middle-earth. In the meantime, Astin has his own ideas for what the series might look like — and which parts of Tolkien's legendarium the show could explore.

Trans Mountain pipeline shuts as crews clean spill in Abbotsford
Transportation Safety Board has sent an investigator to the spill that occurred in a pump station
A crude oil spill from the Trans Mountain pipeline in Abbotsford has been contained and crews are working to clean up the site.
The company says in a news release that an alarm was received early Saturday and the pipeline was immediately shut down as crews went to investigate.
The statement says the pipeline remains closed, an incident command post has been set up to manage the cleanup and local authorities have been informed.
It says an investigation into the cause of the spill is underway and there's no estimated volume of what spilled at the time, but that it has been fully contained.
The Transportation Safety Board says it has also deployed an investigator to the spill that occurred in a pump station.
The Crown-owned pipeline moves about 300,000 barrels of crude per day from Alberta to B.C.'s terminal near Vancouver.

Gun violence may be the most discussed topic surrounding school safety, but it is by no means the only one. Bullying, school climate, and mental health affect students across the country, and are some of the many other issues that NIJ researches. Mary Poulin Carlton, an NIJ social science analyst, joins host Paul Haskins to discuss these and other important school safety issues.
Reading and Resources from the National Institute of Justice:
Student Threat Assessment: Virginia Study Finds Progress, Areas to Improve
Anti-Bullying Intervention for Teachers Shows Positive, Short-Term Outcomes
What Do the Data Reveal About Violence in Schools?
NIJ-supported research on school safety
SPEAKER 1: Welcome to Justice Today, the official podcast of the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, where we shine a light on cutting edge research and practices and offer an in-depth look at what we're doing to meet the biggest public safety challenges of our time. Join us as we explore how funding, science, and technology help us achieve strong communities.
PAUL HASKINS: Welcome everyone. I'm Paul Haskins, a Senior Writer at the National Institute of Justice, and I'm your host for today's show. I'm speaking with Mary Poulin Carlton on the subject of school safety for research support of NIJ. Mary is a Social Scientist with NIJ and a resident expert on the subject of school safety research. She manages the institute's school safety research portfolio. Thank you for being with us here today, Mary. First, why is school safety research so important to NIJ?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Thank you, Paul. So NIJ's research on school safety reflects our larger concerns related to crime prevention and violence reduction. Our research in this area reflects the nation's commitment improving school safety and preventing violence. So, shootings at schools like Sandy Hook Elementary and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, represent one very visible and terrible dimension of school violence. But every day in our schools, student conflicts, bullying, and other threats to the physical and emotional well-being of students can make schools unsafe for students, as well as staff. And we know that schools can and should be places that foster learning. So, NIJ's been working with our research partners to advance our knowledge on what causes school violence and what works to keep schools and students safe so that we can help schools meet their mission. It's an issue that really touches every school, and it represents a complex challenge for all the stakeholders.
PAUL HASKINS: So, it's such an important issue across our country. Mary, what is the scope of NIJ's involvement for school safety research?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Well, so the federal commitment to school safety has been quite robust. For NIJ, support of school safety research has represented a sizable part of the institute's working budget. We've invested more than $200,000,000 in K to 12 School Safety Research in 2014, and that's really an unprecedented investment. Much of this work has been funded by large congressional appropriations to NIJ via both the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative and now the STOP School Violence Act. So, with that commitment, NIJ is a lead agency in defining and directing research on school safety.
PAUL HASKINS: So that sounds like a huge commitment by NIJ in this area. Mary, could you give me a few examples of subject matter areas covered by grants supported by NIJ?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Sure. So just in 2014, NIJ has made about a hundred awards addressing school safety, and these awards cover many different topics. Some examples are: bullying, looking at anti-bullying prevention programs; the causes and consequences of school violence; examining the roles of school resource officers and law enforcement at schools; looking at threat assessments and tip lines; examining school climate; learning more about alternatives to traditional school discipline; examining student trauma and mental health issues that they might bring with them to school; looking at school security practices; and understanding how to implement those practices that we have come to learn that work or are evidence-based.
PAUL HASKINS: Very interesting, Mary. That really covers quite a bit of ground. Generally speaking, what does the research tell us about what works, in terms of school safety policy and practice solutions?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Well, to start with, we know that not all schools and communities are the same. They serve students of different ages and backgrounds, and the communities therein vary as well. So there really isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to improving school safety. The approach should be comprehensive and include a framework that's adaptable to a school's circumstances and needs. And NIJ's research has helped us identify the key elements of a comprehensive framework.
PAUL HASKINS: Great. So, there's no single approach to school safety and no single solution. But are there certain core elements of the school safety research framework?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Yeah, that's right, Paul. So NIJ's comprehensive school safety framework consists of three foundational elements: physical safety, school climate, and student behavior. They're three different things but they're interconnected. So, how schools choose to improve the physical safety of the school to keep it free from intruders, that can, for example, impact the school's climate, or feelings that students have about the school environment. And that's important because it may impact students' academic success. Another example is attending to the traumas that students have faced outside the school may improve their behavior at school and, therefore, the physical safety of other students or teachers at the school.
PAUL HASKINS: Very interesting. So just to drill down a bit on those terms, does physical safety refer to safety of students inside their school buildings?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Yes, so it includes approaches to keep those who are supposed to be in the school, safe from others who also belong in the school, but it--physical safety is also about keeping people out of the school who might enter and cause harm to those in the school. So, thinking a little bit further, when we look at inside the school, we're thinking about approaches like using a threat assessment to identify students who might be likely to harm or attack other students. We're also interested in learning about how to keep school safe from those what--we think of as external threats using things like perimeter security, or helping schools coordinate with local law enforcement to learn quickly about problems going on outside the school that may impact the school itself.
PAUL HASKINS: And the second element of school safety that you mentioned is school climate. Can you elaborate a little bit on the meaning of that term?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Sure. So, school climate is very important. But the term can be misunderstood. So, it's really getting at the way people perceive or experience the school's environment. And that includes the students, the faculty, the parents, and others at the school. So, in essence, what we're focused on is creating a school that has a positive school climate or the conditions that are needed for learning. And that puts a school in a position to create an environment that also facilitates the physical safety of students and their emotional safety.
PAUL HASKINS: And Mary, what about the third piece of school safety: student behavior?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Well, student behavior relates to the strategies and practices that promote how we want students to act at school, and how to respond to students who act in an undesirable way. So NIJ studies have examined a number of programs, like Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support, or PBIS; mental health First Training for Law Enforcement at school; restorative justice or sometimes called restorative practices, as well as programs that incorporate multiple strategies to address student behavior.
PAUL HASKINS: Great. This is more of a big picture question. I know much of the research supported by NIJ focuses on development of and testing practices and programs. But I understand school safety portfolio goes a step further. Can you explain that, please?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Sure. Well we have a number of studies where researchers are closely engaged with educators and other stakeholders to better understand what it really takes to implement both new and evidence-based school safety strategies. We've even been able to fund implementation of various strategies to make it easier for researchers and practitioners and educators to work together. So, understanding how to implement something is just as important as understanding whether it works because we've learned from other research that even the best programs can fail if they aren't implemented well.
PAUL HASKINS: So that certainly makes sense. I noted another piece of research focused on the importance of school readiness. That is being ready and willing to accept new programming in order to improve school safety. Mary, could you provide some context on the readiness issue?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Yes. So, we really can't overstate the importance of a school being ready to implement school safety programming. It goes to the question of what must schools do to position themselves to implement various programs and practices. We know that real changes takes time and thought, and it can be challenging for the school or the school system. We know that it takes a great deal of commitment and hard work to make schools a safer place. And we're starting to learn about solutions for those who are ready to make those changes.
PAUL HASKINS: Great. Thank you. Well, I know that the school safety subject is complex enough, but then you add the COVID-19 pandemic to the mix. What are the pandemic's implications for research needs out at the schools?
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Yes, so COVID has had a major impact on student wellbeing, and there's a couple areas that are a significant concern. So first, we're wondering about how remote learning has impacted students' social and emotional needs. There are a lot of concerns that the isolation that students have experienced due to COVID has had a negative impact on them. And then relatedly, we're wondering about how return to school for in-person learning might play a role here. We know that all students and teachers have been impacted and many have likely been traumatized by the pandemic. But we really aren't sure how all of this is going to influence student behavior. For example, will students be more withdrawn from others? Will they act out more? We're really starting to ask these questions, and we don't quite know yet. And, of course, there are ongoing safety concerns related to the transmission of COVID-19 at school.
PAUL HASKINS: Mary, thank you very much. You've covered quite a bit of ground of NIJ's research portfolio and school safety. This is Paul Haskins, a Senior Writer for NIJ and you've been listening to the podcast featuring Mary Poulin Carlton, NIJ's resident expert in the very active field of the school safety research. Mary, thanks again for sharing your time and expert insights, and we look forward to learning the results of some of these studies down the road.
MARY POULIN CARLTON: Thank you, Paul. It's been my pleasure.

Q: uwsgi throws IO error caused by uwsgi_response_write_body_do broken pipe My application is a uwsgi+django setup.  I use gevent to do performance testing and run 1200 requests concurrently.  At this point, uwsgi will throw an IO error with the following log message:
uwsgi_response_write_body_do(): Broken pipe [core/writer.c line 260]
IOError: write error

Django 1.4.0
uwsgi: 1.9.13
python: 2.6
TCP Listen queue: 1000
What is the cause of this broken pipe error?

A: This error means that the client has closed the connection before uWSGI/Django sends the response. It is generally caused by a timeout in the browser or web server frontend.
To fix it, you need to verify that your setup is correct. Look to see that all of your application's parts (including database adapters) are gevent-friendly. If they're not, you will get no advantage with gevent, and this could even lead to a decrease in performance.
In addition to this, you need to make sure that your database server is able to manage 1200 concurrent connections. If not, it may be ignoring connection attempts.

A: This can happen when NGINX started a request to uWSGI but uWSGI took too long to respond, then NGINX closes the connection to uWSGI. When uWSGI finally finishes, it tries to give it's response back to NGINX, but NGINX closed the connection earlier, so then uWSGI throws an I/O error.
So this could mean that your uWSGI process is taking too long.
Update:
uWSGI's Harakiri mode could be useful to automatically terminate such long taking processes if you want to:
https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/FAQ.html#what-is-harakiri-mode
You might not want to do this because a process might be finishing some long query or something which could be necessary.

A: Now I am not recommending this without you considering your situation. But you could turn uwsgi_ignore_client_abort to "on". With this turned on nginx will keep the aborted connection open until uwsgi returns. Why I don't recommend this completely is because this means an nginx connection will now be tied up until the request finishes. But really the uwsgi thread wasn't being aborted, so aborting the nginx connection early isn't really gaining you much in my opinion.
