When it comes to visiting their local hair salon, most people don't price shop. Yet, people don't have to live with one haircut for the rest of their lives. Hair grows back. A person's face is even more important than their hair. You only have one face; a procedure gone wrong can leave its mark for the rest of your life.
You can see someone's license, but experience and other qualifications are a little harder to discern. Aesthetic practitioners who are educated in their field, highly skilled, and have worked hard to reach the level of a expertise will likely charge an average or higher price because patients can expect a safe medical environment and superior outcomes. As a consumer, the question you should ask yourself is: Do you trust someone who is cheaper than everyone else, or has the 'best deal'? Would you want someone less experienced or qualified working on your face?
Product Quality Makes a Difference.
When consumers bargain shop, they might not get what they bargained for. Practitioners can't legally import injectables such as Botox® Cosmetic or dermal fillers, however, that isn't enough to stop people from doing it. Practices that are all about 'the deal' or looking to draw in business may cut corners in any way they can. They may just give a 'standard' dose of a neurotoxin (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®), which can prevent people from getting the customized dose they actually need. There may even be some practitioners who 'water down' (or dilute) these products. They may work initially, but not last the appropriate amount of time, or not achieve the full results possible. In some cases, these neurotoxins might not work at all.
Expert aesthetic practitioners spend time with the patient. To make bargain prices work, practices may rush patients through. Besides making you feel overlooked, this also may increase the risks associated with a procedure. Mistakes, increased pain or prolonged bruising, poor outcomes, and complications are much more likely when practitioners rush through treatments in order to see more patients in a given day. When consumers 'price shop' for their aesthetic injectables, it may be evident solely by their appearance. It is important to remember the old adage; If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Unfortunately, that may not be enough to stop some people from trying. Often times, our practitioners have found that when an outcome from a practice that cuts corners to cut cost is clearly not good, patients will return. So the next time you consider bargain shopping for your aesthetic services, think again! Consider the price you may really be paying. Be assured that ReFresh Aesthetic Center will not waiver in our commitment to safe and superior patient outcomes in all we do.


While exercise is generally a good part of balanced healthy life style, many people do not realize that it can also be a risky and deadly activity. This is generally by taking unnecessary risks while exercising. As an example, I continue to be surprised at how many people are willing to jog on the shoulder of a road with cars speeding by at 55 to 70 mph with absolutely no physical barrier separating them from the vehicle. All it takes is one carless mistake on the part of the driver or jogger and serious injury or death can occur. Unfortunately, I have seen many patients with severe brain injuries and/or paralysis as a result of these types of accidents.
As a recent example in the news, a man in North Carolina was recently killed while jogging along a roadway after an SUV lost control and crashed into him. A group of five joggers were recently killed when a drunk driver of a Mercedez Benz crashed into them. Sometimes, joggers make the mistake of deciding to dash across a street, are not paying attention (e.g., listening to music), and get killed by a car that crashes into them. This is exactly what happened to a young woman in Texas this month. This is why when I go for a jog, I stick to parks, residential areas where cars are going slow, and treadmills.
Another problem I see is that far too many people are pushing their body to extreme limits and trying to participate in triathalons. The result is premature death for some people. For example, a few months ago two people died after suffering cardiac arrest during triathalons. One was from the city I grew up in – Freehold, New Jersey. The ages were 40 and 64. Both died during the swimming event. The risk of dying from these extreme exercise activities is less if you are young and healthy, but the older you are, the more you risk a catastrophe like this from happening, particularly if you do these activities in extreme weather conditions such as 90 degree heat. A 2009, Minneapolis Heart Institute study that found that athletes participating in triathlons have twice the risk of sudden death.
Overall, it is important that people use common sense when exercising and not put themselves at unnecessary risk of serious injury or death. This involves avoiding exercising near 4,000 pounds of steel traveling towards you at high speeds, avoiding exercise in extreme temperatures, not jogging in the dark with dark clothes on, wearing a helmet when riding a bike, and avoiding extreme physical activity particularly if you are older. Some days, it's better to just stay inside, relax in the recliner chair, eat some buttered popcorn, and watch a movie.
Update: See How Jogging Can Kill You.

Q: Maven error building Quarkus native image (java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /./target) I am trying to use Github self hosted runners to build the native image for my quarkus applications.
This is working great for me on the Github hosted runners, but I want to do this on self hosted runners so we don't blow our github actions minutes budget.
When I updated my workflow to use the self hosted runners I started getting this strange exception.

How Stories About Mundane Things Taking Over Locker Rooms Took Over Sports Media
Photo: Carlos Osorio (AP)
If you've consumed even a tiny bit of sports media in the past few years, you've no doubt come across a particular kind of story. It's a lighthearted one, and the hook is something like, "Hey! Did you know that [group of athletes] are really interested in [non-sports related object or activity]? Isn't that kind of kooky and interesting?" The headlines on these stories often promise to reveal how the thing in question is "taking over the locker room" of the team in question.
Sometimes, the information conveyed is kooky and interesting. The Ringer's Kevin Clark basically invented this genre when he was at the Wall Street Journal, and the piece I remember most fondly is the one about a group of Green Bay Packers who got very seriously into Settlers of Catan. Clark filed a bunch of similar stories at the Journal, and occasionally mines the same beat at The Ringer. Now, it feels like every sportswriter and sports publication in the world is trying to get in on the action, and it's getting to be a little much.
Did you know that NBA players are really into their phones? Did you know that the Thunder really like halal food? Did you know that the Utah Jazz are obsessed with coffee? Did you know that the Atlanta Hawks love Uno? Did you know that the Washington Capitals really like crossword puzzles? Did you know that NBA players like wine? Did you know that NBA players like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Did you know that NBA players like to eat good food? Did you know that NFL players enjoy The Walking Dead? Did you know that NBA players like to eat at Cheesecake Factory? Did you know NFL players also like wine? Did you know that the Panthers like Waffle House? Did you know that Doug Marrone likes bologna? Did you know that Doug Pederson likes ice cream? Did you know the Titans like Super Smash Bros.? Did you know the Houston Astros like Fortnite? Did you know the Oakland A's like to hunt? Did you know the Cardinals like to play chess? Did you know that Charlie Blackmon likes video games? Did you know that NBA players like to collect art? Did you know that the Nets are into fashion?
It's not that these stories are inherently bad—though some of them do have to strain pretty hard to appear interesting. Is there really anything remarkable about young rich men with a decent amount of free time having the sorts of hobbies common to young rich men with a decent amount of free time? Do we need whole features explaining to us that athletes sometimes enjoy particular foods and drinks? The real problem is there are so many of them. At this point, they are basically paint-by-number affairs: Establish that athletes have interests, reveal allegedly interesting and unexpected hobby, pack in as many whimsical quotes as you can.
I can't even blame editors and writers for continuing to pump these out. The allure of getting professional athletes to talk about something that has nothing to do with sports, thus greatly increasing the chances of them saying something funny or revealing, is hard to pass up. It's also likely that these stories do quite well—a source tells us that after Baxter Holmes's story about NBA players liking peanut butter and jelly did bonkers traffic, ESPNers were encouraged to produce similar stories. But it feels like the well is starting to dry up.
Take, for example, Bleacher Report's latest entry into the genre, which aims to tell us all about the "bottled water obsession" that is "taking over NBA locker rooms." The story is about how NBA players—professional athletes—understand that drinking water is important, and how many of them prefer a particular brand of bottled water in favor of other brands. It has some moments, such as...
The NBA's obsession with water is difficult to trace, but one player who pushed the league's taste forward more than any is Antawn Jamison.
The playoffs are in full swing, but so, too, are the high-end water wars. Players are choosing sides.
NBA players didn't think drinking water was good until Antawn Jamison made it cool? The fact that NBA players are as susceptible to marketing and brand loyalty as the rest of us indicates that there are "high-end water wars" raging within locker rooms? I don't know, man! It seems like we might be running out of ideas.

Did You Notice These Dazzling Details in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms?
The story of an enchanted nutcracker, a curious young girl and a menacing mouse king has captivated audiences for literally centuries, since E.T.A. Hoffman penned the iconic tale. But Disney's The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is not the story that you know. It's a magical reimagining that takes 14-year-old Clara Stahlbaum (played by Mackenzie Foy)—a science whiz at a time when girls weren't likely to be interested in making things and building things—into a strange and magical world that's unlike anything we've ever seen before.
The parallel world that Clara enters springs from the sketchbooks of Academy Award®-nominated and BAFTA-winning production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas (Inception), who says that he looked to his inner child as he approached the film's visual look, asking himself, "What would I want to see? What would be a spectacular way to render this world for everybody when they're in that same head space?" Dyas took D23 on a guided tour through the new film's breathtaking lands and revealed a host of hidden treasures to discover in the stunningly detailed sets.
The northernmost land was conceived with a very specific function. "It was designed as a giant iceberg that had broken away and drifted down, wedged itself into the norther part of the fantasy peninsula and is slowly melting," Dyas says. The runoff from the melting ice creates the lake from which the palace rises, and also creates the waterfall that drives the water wheels that power the palace. The Land of Snowflakes is inhabited by aristocrats, Dyas explains, who provide pure ice and water to the world—a most valuable commodity.
Dyas describes the Land of Sweets as almost "Dickensian," though in addition to smokestacks and chimneysweeps you'll also see candy-colored smoke and people spinning taffy in the streets. The buildings might evoke Germany of the 16th century, though Dyas notes, "All the buildings are made of these incredible hard-boiled candies and sweets." As a result of all of the sugary-sweet details found everywhere you look, he jokes, the Land of Sweets is also home to its fair share of dentists.
To create a home for Mother Ginger, Dyas says, "I started on the journey of clearing my head and going into those nightmarish moments that you have as a child and trying to think what would be incredibly frightening." Though Mother Ginger is essentially a giant in the E.T.A. Hoffman tale, Dyas wanted to stay closer to reality. With Helen Mirren in mind, Dyas designed what he saw as a 30-foot marionette that would function as a kind of tank or vehicle Mother Ginger could control. "She was up in the torso of this very scary, steampunk-like marionette, controlling it with a big, booming voice and little slots where she could peek and see what was going on," says Dyas of Mother Ginger's lair. The Fourth Realm is intended to evoke the feeling of an abandoned fairground, "one of the saddest things you'll ever see," says Dyas.
Dyas, who began his career more than 20 years ago working in visual effects at Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic, believes beyond all doubt that he has the best job in the world. "I get paid to sketch things and watch them come to life," he says, sharing that for him, the nervousness comes at the end when he watches the film with an audience. "You are in the dark and you get to listen to hundreds of people's reactions to that world [you designed], and you hope it's going to be awe and excitement and appreciation." And from the small details carved into Clara's Fabergé egg-inspired music box to the towering and timeworn carousel of the Fourth Realm, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' stunning details take us on a delightful journey of discovery alongside our heroine.


This paper first shows that some versions of the logic R of Relevance do not satisfy the relevance principle introduced by Anderson and Belnap, the principle of which is generally accepted as the principle for relevance. After considering several possible (but defective) improvements of the relevance principle, this paper presents a new relevance principle for (three versions of) R, and explains why this principle is better than the original and others.
Robert Rosen's (M,R)-systems are a class of relational models that define organisms. The realization of relational models plays a central role in his study of life, itself. Biology becomes identified with the class of material realizations of a certain kind of relational organization, exhibited in (M,R)-systems. In this paper I describe several realizations of (M,R)-systems, and in particular alternate realizations of the replication component.
We study the filter ℒ*(A) of computably enumerable supersets (modulo finite sets) of an r-maximal set A and show that, for some such set A, the property of being cofinite in ℒ*(A) is still Σ0 3-complete. This implies that for this A, there is no uniformly computably enumerable "tower" of sets exhausting exactly the coinfinite sets in ℒ*(A).
In this chapter we argue that Robert Hare's psychopathy checklist revised (PCL-R) offers a construct of psychopathy that is valid enough for philosophical investigations of the moral and legal responsibility of psychopathic offenders.

HINDUISM DECODED-Deity Worship in the Vedic Tradition #DECODING #HINDUISM
There are temples in India which are older over Five Thousand years.
Some of them are damaged.
When a modern building built with the latest Technology do not seem to last for fifty years,these temples are a tribute to the Technology and skill of our ancestors.
Dauji Temple
Near Gokul, in Village Baladeva (District Mathura), Shri Dauji Temple is situated 21 km southeast of Mathura, on the other side of Yamuna river. The name Dauji means 'Elder Brother'. Here in the temple two metre (6×6″) Deity of Lord Balrama was installed by King Vajranabha.
seven kilometers south of Gokula, not far from Mathura, is the Dauji temple. Dauji is the Deity of Lord Balarama that was originally installed 5,000 years ago by King Vajranabha, Krishna's great-grandson. From Lord Krishna and His queen Rukmini was born the great warrior Pradyumna, one of His prominent sons, who married the daughter of Rukmi, Rukmavati. They gave birth to Anirudha. Anirudha married Rukmi's son's daughter, Rachana, and from her was born Vajra, who would remain among the few survivors of the Yadus' battle. (Bhagavatam 10.90.35-37)
In fact, King Vajra established a number of Krishna Deities in the area. The present Dauji temple that we see today was built 200 years ago by Shyama Das of Delhi. Many people also attend this temple to get darshan of the single Deity of the 6 feet tall Lord Balarama. From the other side of the temple you can see the Deity of Revati, Lord Balarama's wife. Nearby is the Balabhadra Kund or Kshira (milk) Sagara (sea) where the Deity of Lord Balarama had been hidden during the Moghul invasion. Near this kund is a temple to Harideva, and in the bazaar is another temple to Krishna as Banke Bihari."

There is also much history on the site of Krishna's birth, the Krishna Janmasthana in Mathura. Historical records indicate that the first temple here was also built by King Vajranabha. This temple lasted for many years. The next temple was supposedly built by King Vikramaditya in 400 BCE. That was destroyed by the infamous Mahmud Ghazni in 1017-18. Ancient descriptions relate that such a magnificent building would have taken 200 years of great toil by the world's greatest craftsmen. Thereafter, a third temple was built by a citizen named Jajja during the time of King Vijayapalavadeva, ruler of Mathura, according to an inscription on a stone slab discovered in the area. Sri Chaitanya visited this temple during His visit in 1515. Unfortunately, that was destroyed by the Muslim Sikander Lodi shortly thereafter. The next temple was built by Raja Virsinghadeva Bundela during the reign of Jehangir (around 1650). It is said that this temple stood 250 feet tall and was a stately structure made of intricately carved red sandstone, costing some 33 lakhs of rupees. But again it was destroyed by the fanatic Muslim Aurangzeb in 1669-70. Then it its place a mosque was built, which still stands today. The next temple over the place of Krishna's birth appeared later in the mid-20th century.

Also in Mathura, not far from the Dwarkadish Mandira, there is the temple of white Sweta-Varaha, and another of Adi-Varaha. According to local history as explained by local pandits, back in Satya-yuga this Deity had been given to Lord Indra who worshiped Him in Swarga, his heavenly abode. The Deity was later taken by Ravana when he defeated Indra who took Him to Sri Lanka. Then, after Ravana was defeated by Lord Ramachandra, the Deity was taken to Ayodhya by Lord Ramachandra. Lord Ramachandra gave it to His brother Satrughna who brought it to Mathura when he was dispatched to conquer Madhu Daitya and Lavanasura. After defeating the demonic father and son, Madhu and Lavanasura, he installed the Deity of Adi-Varaha here. This story is more fully explained in Chapter 163 of the Varaha Purana.

Picture an island paradise, and it will probably resemble Petit St Vincent. Located in the southern tip of the Grenadines, this 115-acre wooded isle is one of the Caribbean's most picturesque spots. As a private island, only a lucky few get to stay in this luxurious resort at a time, and arriving there feels as if you're escaping into another world: a small plane takes you from Barbados to Union Island, where you are met by a representative of the resort, who takes you the final leg of the journey by boat, coasting across the azure-blue seas beneath equally blue skies. If your dream is to escape the crowds and truly get away from it all, Petit St Vincent is the place for you, and the best way to get there is by booking with Elegant Resorts, who are currently celebrating 30 years of creating bespoke luxury holidays in dream destinations for the world's most discerning travellers.
The majority of the accommodation is provided by 16 one-bedroom cottages that are dotted in secluded nooks around the island – perfect for couples who are planning a romantic getaway. For families, there are also six large, two-bedroomed villas. The cottages are each remarkable in their own way – some are nestled in the hills, with panoramic views of the whole island, while others are located right on the beach. The interiors are open-plan and roomy, using natural, locally sourced materials, with an understated luxury throughout.
With limited Wi-Fi on the island, the resort encourages you to 'unplug' and relax – ideal if you're seeking a digital detox (Wifi is available in the main restaurants and lobby in case of email emergencies). Its solution to calling for room service is ingenious: guests can hoist up a coloured flag from their cottages – yellow for service, red for privacy – which is answered with surprising swiftness, given how spread out the cottages are. Staff are charming and efficient, and many have been at the resort for years.
The resort's main restaurant is set amid the verdant hills, overlooking the harbour. You can enjoy five-star dining inside the restaurant or outside on the pretty terraces, which are bordered by flowering frangipani and hibiscus. The à la carte menu changes daily, and much of the produce comes straight from Petit St Vincent's vegetable garden. You can even choose to enjoy your meal in the comfort of your own cottage or better still, have a romantic private dinner on the beach at sunset.
The Beach Restaurant is the place to go for informal dining – you can dine with your toes in the sand, looking out at the sea, with almond- and palm-trees rustling softly in the breeze while you sit at the wooden tables. You can feast on chargrilled fish, Mediterranean-inspired salads, and if you arrive during lobster season (November to April), you can indulge in complimentary freshly grilled lobster, which has been fished straight from the resort's lobster pool.
Whether it's enjoying a yoga class overlooking Conch Bay, or a Balinese warm-stone massage in the treetop spa, there are plenty of diversions on offer at Petit St Vincent. But making the most of the island's spectacular maritime resources is a must – it's well-known for its snorkelling, where you can experience the beauty of the coral reefs and glimpse shoals of tropical fish.
You can also go out for a day's sailing on the island's 49-foot boat the Beauty, which is skippered by the Englishman Jeff Stevens. Jeff will guide you to some of the Caribbean's most idyllic spots, such as the Tobago Cays, where you can spot sea turtles and a host of marine wildlife. The resort can pack you a picnic lunch, and Jeff will happily drop you off at any deserted spot that takes your fancy and collect you again a couple of hours later. It's a remarkable experience – sitting on a sandy little desert island that's just a few feet wide, surrounded by the deep blue sea – all the romance of being cast away, but safe in the knowledge you'll be safely back at the resort in time for an aperitif before dinner.
Stay seven nights from £4,060 a person including two complimentary nights, saving £2,520 a couple. This price is based on two people sharing a One Bedroom Cottage on an all-inclusive basis, return flight, private transfers and UK Airport Lounge passes.
Valid from 1 June to 31 July 2018.

Wooden chopping boards not only look great but they have a number of other properties which make them the best to use for your food preparation.
Wooden chopping boards are more hygienic than alternatives as wood has naturally antibacterial properties. Wooden chopping boards have been shown to kill bacteria when contaminated no matter the age of the board.
Our handmade wooden chopping boards are made from solid oak off-cuts sourced from local joiners in Sheffield. Originally destined to become bespoke kitchen worktops, we take the pieces that are too small for work surfaces and turn them into beautiful items for your kitchen, creating a new life-cycle for materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
We are launching our etsy shop with two products, our solid oak chopping board and our end grain oak chopping board with more items to come over the next few weeks, all sharing the TuffCycle ethos.
TuffCycle is a Sheffield based Social Enterprise that sells handmade furniture and homewares using reclaimed materials. All profits fund our community projects working with homeless people in Sheffield.


It is/was a tasks order menu that was assigned for all creatures, but it seems that it doesn't work any more or at least not like it is showing there - I mean if we want to build a new room building and we have all our workers occupied digging for example, than we have to wait for a worker to end the digging all tiles it was assigned to dig by game, then, and only then this worker will go and build our new room building - however what I really would like to have from game is to force the game to free at least one worker immediately to build this new room building and all further constructions - so if I put new Backing Table in Cookery Room and all my Imps are occupied with digging I want game to pick up at least one Imp that will stop doing any further task in it's queue and go building Baking Table. Would it be possible to have it like that?
I know that a creature always have to finish it's current task before it do anything else, so the task cannot be paused, nor interrupted, but can game at least remove all tasks that have for example an Imp in queue to add a new one I want it to do something? So the solution could look like that: an Imp that is the closest to finish it's current task and has in it's task queue to dig 12 tiles more and build 1 Dynamite (so it has to do 13 tasks more in total) is suddenly being called by game to do a new task (because I decided to build a new Baking Table in that moment). Game than removes 13 tasks that this Imp has to do (actually it "cut" and saves these tasks in memory cache) and after it finished the current task it will immediately go and build the Baking Table. Those 13 tasks more that this Imp had to do before game could distribute to other workers ("paste" these tasks from memory cache), so to ensure all tasks will be done and none missed. Note that to make it work building things, carrying wounded and all other tasks (except transporting resources to storage) should be than prioritized higher than digging.
Hmm, I don't want to be able to pick up creatures. But perhaps we could select active jobs and be able to click "prioritize" somehow.

What I meant by "pick up" is that some tasks really are needed to do ASAP and it would be a great improvement if game could choose/pick up/assign a worker or workers to do a task that I need ASAP like building a room or a trap. Definitely if it's only the matter of prioritization, so the game could stop any Imp to do further jobs (with lower priority like digging) and assign it to do what I need for ASAP (like building a trap which would have higher priority than digging), than in the end players will be able develop their dungeons really fast. Also this way we will never make our creatures wait for their needs to be satisfied (because we can answer for their needs building immediately what they need). We also won't need to deselect tiles to dig to force Imps to stop digging and than make traps or rooms for us, which otherwise they would build only if they finish digging all previously selected tiles, like in current version of the game.

Here's how much you can earn and still qualify as low-income in N.J. (Hint: A lot)
By Carla Astudillo | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
It's getting more expensive to be considered low-income in New Jersey.
A New Jersey family of four in 2018 has to earn $71,900 a year or less to be considered low-income, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development — an almost six percent increase from last year.
New Jersey has the highest HUD income limits in the nation for a family of four –– tied with Alaska, Massachusetts, Maryland and Connecticut.
To put it in perspective, the same figure is $57,500 or less nationwide.
Every year, HUD adjusts the income limits that are used to determine the amount how much you would have to earn a year to qualify for federal housing programs like Section 8. HUD uses 80 percent of the adjusted median income to create its measure. In New Jersey, that's currently $95,100, a four percent jump from 2017.
HUD also adjusts the figures for the high housing costs relative to income, among other things, so New Jersey's income limit isn't exactly 80 percent of the median.
In addition, HUD calculates the income limits for 11 different areas that cover the 21 New Jersey counties, as well as various family sizes. Using our tool below, you can put in your annual household income and family size to find out if you would be considered low-income by HUD.
Don't Edit
Since last year, 10 out of 11 New Jersey HUD areas saw an increase in their income limits for a family of four. Below, they are ranked from lowest to highest in the state.
Note about the data: There are some HUD areas that include an expansive area of New Jersey. For example, HUD considers Essex, Morris, Union and Sussex counties as part of the "Newark NJ HUD Metro Area". Other areas are very specific like "Warren County, NJ HUD Metro Area" which just includes Warren County.
8. Vineland-Bridgeton (Cumberland)
Limit for Family of 4: $53,850
Change since 2017: $1,150
7. Atlantic City- Hammonton (Atlantic)
6. Ocean City (Cape May)
5. Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington (Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Salem)
4. Warren
4. Trenton
4. Newark (Essex, Morris, Sussex, Union)
4. Monmouth-Ocean
3. Bergen-Passaic
2. Jersey City (Hudson)
1. Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon
Change since 2017: -$1,250

Real Madrid Can't Cry About Depleted Squad But Inter Milan Face A Final: Antonio Conte, Ahead Of Champions League Clash
Inter Milan face an uphill task to qualify from Champions League Group B and Antonio Conte issued a rallying cry before facing Real Madrid
Omnisport	2020-11-24T21:36:35+05:30 Real Madrid Can't Cry About Depleted Squad But Inter Milan Face A Final: Antonio Conte, Ahead Of Champions League Clash
Antonio Conte says Real Madrid cannot "cry" about their depleted squad but acknowledged his Inter side face a "final" in a crucial Champions League group-stage encounter. (More Football News)
Los Blancos are without captain Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema and Eder Militao, as well as Federico Valverde, Alvaro Odriozola and Luka Jovic for the clash at San Siro.
Madrid have four points from two games having beaten Inter last time out, while the Nerazzurri only have two.
Conte believes Madrid still possess plenty of quality in their ranks despite the lengthy list of absences.
"No I don't think they can cry from this point of view. We are talking about an important and complete squad, where they have many good players from Real Madrid," he said.
"The fact that the press talks about absences makes me smile a little, that's it."
With Inter winless in a Group B also containing Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Monchengladbach, Conte knows there is little room for error on home soil.
"It certainly represents a final for us. Also because, after the defeat in the first game against Real Madrid and the two previous draws, we don't have much of a way out," he added.
Milan, we're here! #RMUCL | #HalaMadrid pic.twitter.com/hDM6lUFRWH
— Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadriden) November 24, 2020
"We know that a difficult match awaits us, against Real Madrid all of us know what kind of team it is.
"We will have to play a great game. There is an important result to be achieved. We have to pay great attention, with humility and concentration we must try to win the game."
Conte believes seven points from their remaining three games will be required to reach the last 16.
"The most important thing is to try to win the game, to get a good result. I don't think there are other solutions, other ways," he said.
"There are three games left. I think in the end to qualify we will have to if not win all three but still earn seven points.
"However, I repeat, it is a match that must fuel our hopes of moving forward.
"I think it is the most difficult group in the Champions League, but at the same time in the previous matches we have shown that we deserve something more than the current standings and the results obtained.
"At the same time, if the results have not arrived, we must understand why and try to do something better than in previous matches."

Q: How to display category and subcategory There is a table with fields: id, name, id_cat
Please show an example of a method that outputs these categories. And where you want to implement this method in the controller or in helpers? Help implement this recursive method.

A: As I correctly understand you have Category table with circular reference realised by column id_cat.
Following model should works as you expected:
class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :supercategory, :class_name => "Category", :foreign_key => "cat_id"
  has_many :subcategories, :class_name => "Category", :foreign_key => "cat_id"
end

So if categories table looks like:
id   |   name    |  cat_id
---------------------------
1    | cat 1     | null
2    | cat 1.1   | 1
3    | cat 1.2   | 1
4    | cat 2     | null
5    | cat 1.2.1 | 3

Category.find(1).subcategories returns array with cat 1.1 and cat 1.2 objects.
Category.find(1).supercategory returns nil
Category.find(3).supercategory returns cat 1 object
Category.find(4).supercategory returns nil
