To me, this is family photos.
I'm passionate about photographing family connections and not just family portraits, because life goes too quickly. I want to remember what it felt like when my own children snuggled into me, and the way they laughed when I tickled them. I want photos that document the things that makes them happy, and the things that we love to do as a family.
My photos are real. They encompass all of the quirks and imperfections that make you, you. I want you to see the beauty in your relationships when you connect and interact with your children.
To me, these moments of sheer joy are a much more powerful memory than the photo where you are all looking at a camera.
A little while ago I spent the afternoon with this beautiful little family, doing all of the things that Lucy loves!
Lucy has the most beautiful, loving parents who are always there and present for their daughter. You can see the joy she has being part of such a caring and fun family – who embrace the quirks and fun of childhood!
These are a few of Lucy's favourite things!

Lex Aelia Sentia – rzymska ustawa wydana w 4 roku n.e., która bardziej niż Lex Fufia Caninia ograniczała możliwość wyzwalania niewolników.

Dotyczyła ograniczeń wieku wyzwalanego i wyzwalającego. Niewolnika mającego mniej niż 30 lat nie wystarczało wyzwolić za pomocą manumissio vindicta przed urzędnikiem, trzeba było powołać specjalną komisję i podawać przyczyny wyzwolenia. Również wyzwalający mający mniej niż 20 lat mógł dokonać aktu wyzwolenia tylko przed komisją (consilium) i ze słusznej przyczyny (iusta causa). W Rzymie komisję stanowiło 5 senatorów i 5 ekwitów, na prowincji 20 recuperatorów (dosł. "odzyskiwaczy") będących rzymskimi obywatelami. Gaius (ks. I, 19) podaje, iż słuszną przyczyną było wyzwolenie własnego syna lub córki, rodzonego brata lub siostry, wychowanka lub nauczyciela, niewolnika, którego właściciel chce uczynić zarządcą, lub niewolnicy którą chce poślubić.

Ponadto niewolnicy niewyzwoleni przez manumissio vindicta otrzymywali status Latyna Juniańskiego.

Ustawa uznawała za peregrini dediticii wyzwoleńców, którzy, będąc jeszcze w stanie niewoli, zostali ukarani za ciężkie przestępstwo lub używani do walk cyrkowych (ich sytuacja w porównaniu ze zwykłymi dediticii była pogorszona przez zakaz osiedlania się w Rzymie i w promieniu 100 mil od niego pod rygorem powrotu do stanu niewoli).

Rygory ustawy złagodził Justynian I Wielki pozostawiając z nich tylko zakaz wyzwoleń na szkodę wierzyciela (in fraudem creditorum) prowadzących do nadmiernego uszczuplenia zadłużonego majątku.

A recent residential real estate photography session in the Pasadena Lakes Neighborhood, just minutes away from downtown St. Petersburg.
This home was nicely staged with furniture and decor which made it more interesting to photograph.
My client requested that I show the spacious feeling of this ranch style home and additionally show the abundance of natural light in the house and also feature the large, lush yard.
Balancing the interior and exterior light was critical.
To achieve the most pleasing feel and natural looking light, I mixed the natural window light filtering into the house through the windows, with the much brighter exterior light, a few lamps and ceiling lights found throughout the house to help create that lived-in look and, to tie it all together, I used strobe and LED lights very selectively and strategically placed.
As you see, I photograph multiple angles and differing views of most of the rooms. I do this to further enhance a viewer's perspective of being in the house.
Enough said for the time being. Please continue viewing the other rooms and exterior of this residence below.
If you have any questions or would like a quote, please email or call.

I recently had the honor of doing some photography for the March For Science St. Petersburg / Tampa. This local march was a part of an international network of marches demanding acknowledgement of science as opposed to the oppression by the current White House administration.
If your not familiar with the March For Science movement, you might want to check them out. We are living in times where it is vital that we listen to scientist to help us find a way to maintain an inhabitable planet.

This session of on-site photography was done for Cindy Scifres, LMT, CPT, and Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, whose healing arts business is located in St. Petersburg. Images were created for a website update.
Behind the scenes, before and after images can be viewed below.
There are many advantages of doing on-site photography for business, especially when you are needing to show examples of what you do, your environment, or to avoid having to break down equipment and have it moved and set up in a studio.
On-site business photography can have issues that have to be dealt with, space usually being the predominate one.
For example, while this room had more than adequate space for neuromuscular therapist Cindy Scifres to perform her treatments, it was somewhat confined for use as a photography studio. In spite of that, by using the proper techniques, skills, equipment, attitude, and preparation, we successfully made the conversion to a photo studio work.
To get information about my on-site photography for your business, contact David at DeRemus Photography.
To see more of my commercial work, including other examples of my on-site business photography, please visit my Advertising | Marketing Gallery.
The before and after images, show below, reveals the full view of the room to illustrate the transformation from a dedicated "work-space" to a temporary photography studio to create her on-site business portraits. While this room had more than adequate space (as well as a great feel) for neuromuscular therapist Cindy Scifres to perform her therapy, it was somewhat confined for use as a photography studio. In spite of that, by using the proper techniques, skills, equipment, and attitude, we successfully made the conversion to a photo studio work.
Edward Berge (1876–1924) was a Baltimore, Maryland sculptor known for his bronze monumental works and figures. He studied at the Maryland Institute and the Rinehart School in Baltimore and the Academie Julian in Paris. Edward Berge mainly worked in marble and bronze and completed many monuments, portrait busts and relief sculptures. Many of which are on display outdoors or in public buildings in Baltimore City.
This specific sculpture of the Maiden With Fawn, was cast in 1939 after Edward Berge's passing. The sculptor Perna Krick's (1909-1991) name is also engraved on the base, it is thought to have been cast under her guidance. It was cast at the Roman Bronze Works foundry.
The Roman Bronze Works foundry was established in New York City in 1897 by Riccardo Bertelli. It is now operated as the Roman Bronze Studios. It was the first American foundry to specialize in the lost-wax casting method and was the country's pre-eminent art foundry during the American Renaissance (ca. 1876-1917). The Maiden With Fawn was one of many sculptures of Edward Berge that were cast there.
Commercial product photography can be done at your place of business or even your home.
This sculpture was photographed "on-location". On-location meaning being in my client's home in Clearwater, FL.
A greenscreen backdrop was used on part of the session then knocked out in post production. There was also photo documentation of the foundry stamp, the engraved copyright notice and other engraved information that were essential to verify authenticity and to determine the sculpture's net worth.
My equipment list for this session: Nikon D2x and D7100; Nikon lens 28-70 2.8, 105 DC f2, 80-200 2.8; lighting was a mix of 2 Norman strobes (1 each 200C and 400B) mixed with ambient light. The strobes were set up as bare bulb, with an umbrella or a softbox.

The Law, Ethics & Animals Program (LEAP) at Yale Law School recently welcomed its 2020–2021 class of LEAP student fellows, and it also announced a new grant program for Yale students across the University.
The 14 new fellows, who gathered last week for a virtual introduction, hail from around the world and across the University's graduate programs, with members from the School of the Environment, the School of Management, the Yale Law School, and the School of Public Health. The new cohort of fellows has extensive experience in animal law, environmental science, and ethics. Their interests include the public health impacts of industrial animal exploitation on the food and labor systems and on the environment; the ways that animal personalities affect ecology; the international economics of fisheries and aquaculture; and the intersection of racial justice, animal welfare, and environmentalism.
READ: Biographies of the student fellows
The goal of LEAP's student fellows program is to empower students during their time at Yale and to create community around the issues of animal and environmental ethics. This year's fellows will join last year's in helping LEAP fulfill its commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship, action, and community. They have already moderated events in LEAP's speaker series and are at work organizing the upcoming Big Ag and Antitrust Conference.
After welcoming the new class of fellows, LEAP announced the newly-minted YLS Law, Ethics & Animals Grant Program, which will fund student-led projects for the 2020–2021 academic year. All Yale students are eligible, as are diverse projects, including research and scholarship, policy proposals, podcasts, visual arts, and other initiatives that advance understanding of, attention to, and progress on the urgent issues facing nonhuman animals. Proposals are due on November 20, 2020. The YLS Law, Ethics & Animals Grant Program Call for Proposals is available here.

Who could win… a rabbit?
Jeffrey's recap of rabbiting the Pittsburgh Marathon… and then winning.
On Friday night, I attended a reception for all the generous event sponsors at the LaMont Restaurant. It took some convincing on my part to the Restaurant staff that I was with the Marathon event, and not the Junior Prom that was also going on. After enjoying a glass of Cab and taking in the panoramic view of downtown, I was given the opportunity to address the sponsors on behalf of the elite athletes and Olympic Trials hopefuls. It's quite humbling to speak in front of such a distinguished group– which included the Mayor (who was making his half-marathon debut), sponsors and the entire race organization. However, I was glad to convey the fact that their support goes a long ways in helping many aspiring athletes realize their dream. Later on, after watching some fireworks and having another glass of Cab, I chatted with Race Director Patrice Matamoros. I thanked her again for having me, and joked with her that maybe I would win her race on Sunday.
On Saturday I took part in the Kid's 1-Mile Fun Run, along with fellow pacer Tom Tissell and the Steeler's charismatic Ryan Clark . Through the Kids of Steel Program, over 500 kids from five area school districts logged up to running a total of 26.2 miles– with the final mile being run during the event weekend. I was excited to be a part of the Program's finale, and witnessed an incredible turnout of young students, their teachers and parents all enthused to be running! I ran with the group from McClellan Elementary School, having met their dedicated PE teacher the previous evening. Despite a false start by Ryan, I was able to work up through the field of smiling and reddening young faces to finish 2nd in 6:57. I high-fived the top finisher, and had him promise me to one day run the marathon. He said he might, as he collected his medal with satisfaction, and as others zipped through the finish. I was pleased to see so many youngsters getting exposure to running as a healthy, life-long activity!
Leading up to Sunday, I had the opportunity to meet and spend some time with many talented athletes. It was great meeting and talking to Tom, a very experienced marathoner (and multiple-time Olympic Trials Qualifier) who was pacing the Women's 'B' Qualifiers. I also met a very friendly group of Ohioans the first evening at dinner. After the Fun Run on Saturday, I went for my own run on the nearby river trail with Tyler McCandless, a recent PSU Grad and 2:17 marathoner pacing the Women's 'A' Qualifiers. Later on, I caught up with some of the U.S. athletes targeting the OT Qualifying Standard, including American citizen Boaz Cheboiywo. Whenever I travel to races, it's nice to meet new athletes and also see a few familiar faces. Everyone seems to have a unique story of how they became involved with the sport (and particularly with the marathon), and I find myself learning from them. More than any other sport in the U.S., distance running is a relatively small and tight-knit community.
My approach to Sunday was like that of any important workout or race: I made sure I was well-rested and adjusted to the time zone; I ate well and prepared most of my foods; I also maintained a high level of focus on the task at hand. I certainly felt a great amount of responsibility to the athletes I would be pacing, which had me equally as excited as anxious– while both sentiments quelled any competitive ambitions. When race morning arrived, I followed my usual routine: coffee and breakfast (including a Raw Revolution Bar) 3 hours before "go" time, active-isolation rope stretching (thanks Tyler for lending me your rope!), and some ipod-shuffling (rocked out to Girl Talk's All Day mix).
As anticipated, we had a rainy and humid race morning. It was a very balmy 60°F when I was warming up with Lauretta, a former teammate from my UVA days who I had literally run into that morning. After some easy shaking out, I pulled on some dry CEP Compression Socks, put on my Garmin Forerunner GPS Watch and switched into a Team MarathonGuide.com sleeveless Brooks shirt (I had forgotten to pack my singlet); I was ready to rabbit!
The marathoners and half-marathoners lined up together on Liberty Avenue under a large yellow banner. I found Boaz and made sure we were in close proximity. Once sent off at 7:00, we were quickly swallowed up by the half-marathoners taking off. I watched MarathonGuide.com teammate Nicholas Kurgat push to the front with his neon Spira shoes visible in his long back-kick. He was shadowed closely by a former Hansons-Brooks teammate Ryan Sheehan and a few NYC-based, WSX runners; I knew he would have his work cut out for him. My focus immediately shifted back into setting our mild cadence: 5:18's. A few female elites had pulled ahead.
Due to the rain and cloud coverage, my Garmin was not receiving the best GPS signal. I had to rely more on the clocks each mile for feedback. I recall being a little slow at 5K (just over 16:30), but Boaz, Nik Schweikert and a few half-marathoners bolstered our group. I felt very relaxed leading the group, as if it were another Sunday long run on Lake Mary Road… albeit with some company!
I tried my best to keep the pace as metronome-like as possible. The undulating roads over bridges kept me awake; I remained steady up the inclines and held back going downhill. I encouraged Boaz to tuck behind me on the bridges to avoid cross-winds. I had an eventful course tour with my friend, Eric, the day before so I knew the general tangents of the race course. I made sure our fluid stations weren't as uneventful, as I cautiously grabbed my bottles of Vita Coco that I had prepped the previous day.
The half-marathon leaders were well out of sight, after we crested the West End Bridge and followed a long stretch on Carson Street. There was a visible contingent ahead, which I suspected were the marathon leaders. Still, I maintained our pace and mentioned to Boaz that we were right on schedule.
After crossing the Birmingham Bridge (around 11 miles), we faced the largest climb on the course. I tried not to impose the pace too much up the hill, given that it would even out later on– and I had 7 more miles to make sure of it.
I reached half-way around 1:09:20, which I felt would give Boaz a nice buffer to achieve a sub 2:19:00. I noticed shortly after that he fell back at a fluid station. I was not sure whether he missed a bottle or was under any physical duress, but I hovered off the pace a little to help him get back on. With credentials of 1:01:35 for half-marathon, 27:46 for 10,000m and 13:19 for 5,000m, Boaz proved to be among the most legitimate athletes in contention for an OT Qualifier and winning the race. I was quite humbled to be rabbiting him in only my third time entered in a marathon!
Unfortunately, the elastic between us was stretching and the next few miles proved that Boaz was faltering. My Garmin was semi-accurately reading 5:18 per mile, so I kept the same rhythm to ensure I was fulfilling my rabbiting responsibilities. I pulled by Genna Tufa, who had fallen off the leaders somewhere after Mellon Park. I estimated we were over 30 seconds behind the race leaders, which had me curious about what was happening up front. The curiosity continued to build on Frankstown Avenue as a pack of 6 leaders grew closer. I crossed 18 miles well within range of the group. No longer the rabbit, I thought, why not go for the win?
The race began for me between 19 and 20 miles, when I joined the tête de la course. I was the lone American among a small group of East Africans: Isaac Birir (Kenya), David Rutoh (Kenya), Tariku Bokain (Ethiopia), Teklu Deneke Tefera (Ethiopia) and Jynocel Basweti (Kenya). As soon as the leaders identified my presence, I surged right by them into the lead. By injecting a harder pace (4:40), I wanted to see who could respond right away. A minute later I stepped off the gas and looked around: one runner was already off the back of the group and I saw some concerned faces. This was my sign; it was time to finish them off!
For the next 3 miles, I controlled the front of the race and mimicked a fartlek workout I had done a few weeks prior. I pushed at the front for varying intervals lasting 1 to 5 minutes and then recovered with a moderate pace– which was dictated by the surviving runners. Teklu, a new Flagstaff resident, responded to my surges a few times but fell back on our descent down Liberty Avenue. A MarathonGuide.com athlete, Chapel Hill-based Isaac Birir, had also quietly peeled off by 23 miles. In the next mile, I could only hear the labored breathing of David and my squishing Brooks Green Silence.
I started another surge (4:40 pace according to my Garmin) with less than 2 miles to go. David dropped back dramatically at a water station. I knew this was the KO punch! I maintained the acceleration to put as much distance on him as possible. A cyclist informed me I had put around 70 yards on him, as I crossed the final bridge over the Allegheny River. I enjoyed the final straight away to the finish, offering a few high-fives and trying to process what I hadn't planned on doing that morning: winning! Despite the hard surges, I crossed the tape feeling very comfortable– I was pretty surprised with the time given the pace of my first 18 miles!
My post-race replenishment involved a cool-down, some interviews and an afternoon outing to Abay Ethiopian Restaurant. With Eric, his sister Kristie (who ran a 3:27 first marathon!) and her boyfriend Turadg, we gorged on several vegan dishes including: Inguday Wat (spiced mushrooms and brown lentils), Mesir Wat (red lentils), Tikil Gomen (cabbage and carrots) and Ye' Abesha Gomen (kale, peppers, ginger and garlic). It was the perfect post-race, nutrient-dense meal. I can see why Ethiopia produces so many strong athletes, given their diet!
So for now I continue to run nice and easy. The recovery has been quick thanks to a few hearty vegan meals and some ART treatment with Dr. Kymberlee Wilkens. I'm both charged with the weekend's results and with the exciting news released about our strong USA World Championship Marathon squad for Daegu. I've definitely learned some more about marathoning this weekend (particularly how to race), and I am anxious for my next 26.2 mile essay, now having a victory under my belt.
Jeff, this is awesome. Can't believe you ran a 2:16… I am training right now to run my first marathon sometime towards the end of the year, and reading this definitely gives me some serious inspiration! Keep up the good, hard work.

Philosophers, Works
Leviathan (Hobbes): Analysis & Summary
Leviathan, subtitled Treaty of matter, form and power of an ecclesiastical and civil republic, is a work by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes whose radicalism is striking: starting from a pessimistic anthropology, making every man an enemy for other men, he concludes the need for a strong state, the Leviathan, which will be responsible for ensuring the security of the members in exchange for their obedience, thus forming a social pact and Politics. It inaugurates the great philosophical tradition of contractualism.
The Hobbes Leviathan is divided into four parts:
on the social contract
on the Christian community
on the kingdom of darkness.
Hobbes Leviathan Summary:
The first part naturally begins with a study on humans. Hobbes maintains that man exists in the world as a reactive creature, which acts according to the permanent movements of the world. The latter give rise to insatiable desires in man, which pushes him to take from the other what he does not have: the state of nature of men is a state of permanent war and anxiety. According to Hobbes, man has a desire to protect what he owns, so it is in his best interest to find a protector. Thus, a state or community is established with the sole purpose of protecting the life and property of its members.
The second part is devoted to explaining the citizen's obligations to this state, as well as the form and functions of the Leviathan. Hobbes presents monarchy as the best form of government, since in all forms of government power lacks the strength to protect its subjects from external aggressors and from themselves.
The third part attempts to answer the question: is obedience to sovereign authority compatible with obedience to divine authority? According to Hobbes, there is no conflict between civil laws and those of God, if one accepts the separation of temporal power and spiritual power. Because God is totally supernatural, the only power that exists for man is a sovereign power.
Finally, in the fourth part, Hobbes paints a striking picture of what human life is when it derogates from the principles he stated previously, the terrestrial hell of the state of nature.
As a conclusion
This founding work of political philosophy that is the Leviathan lays the foundations for a modern society, based on the legality of power. The concept of social contract will inspire Rousseau's Social Contract, as well as all legalist thought, from Spinoza to Kant.

Choosing the best Linux hosting for you
Tetiana Yevlanova | June 1, 2021
Many small businesses get to a point where they take the step beyond shared server hosting for their websites, databases, email, and app backends.
With a small website and online presence, you can get by with just a few gigabytes on a shared hosting server. But what about when you grow — and sharing power with all your neighbors means bringing the server to a halt too often? You'll need more power, and chances are more high-grade features too.
You could be an indie game developer, starting to code in languages not allowed on a shared hosting provider? Maybe you're an online shop owner who wants to apply a custom payment gateway that is only possible to use on a VPS hosting or Dedicated server? Basic services just won't cut it anymore
It's the painful thing about growing: sometimes you have to move. Once you understand that you need to grow your hosting plan, it's time to research the specs for the new plan, compare the pricing, and if there's a choice between Windows and Linux, things get more complicated still.
There are plenty of good reasons to choose the slightly more complex Linux, as we'll explain next. Once you've seen the pros and cons of Linux as a server operating system, and decided a Linux server could be right for your growing business, you have to consider the kind of private server you want to get. There are a few tiers beyond shared hosting: Virtual Private Servers (VPS) or Dedicated Servers, Unmanaged or Managed.
Why Linux?
The world of internet servers is split into two big families based on their operating systems.
Commercially, Windows is established wherever big corporations reside. A lot of organizations are tied down to business software that only runs on Windows. In connecting teams, partners, and clients, Windows uses interlinked servers for project management and databases.
Often when it comes to a big corporation's IT strategy, the thinking is, "We already have the training. We have a discount on the licenses." And the machines can be administered through a Graphical User Interface (GUI). They were designed from the ground up to be less intimidating to non-technical managers.
But you have to pay subscriptions for everything. Almost every advanced service Microsoft offers is billed per user, per CPU Windows also has a worse track record on security than Linux.
Linux private servers to the rescue!
In the other corner, the Unix family, of which Linux is a healthy sub-branch, beloved by academic IT departments, development shops, and anyone looking for scalability and security in massive deployments. Linux can look like an anarchic bunch with its decentralized development model, the many branded distributions, and the plethora of open source licenses.
The other side of that tradeoff is that you can learn everything you want about the operating system if you have the time. There are mountains of how-tos, tutorials, and forums out there.
Control panels for Linux
Luckily, over the decades, people have glued a GUI veneer over the Linux pipework. Today the administration of Linux servers is vastly simplified by the addition of a browser-accessible control panel. These interfaces will please anyone who misses the "server administration for dummies" quality of the Windows world. They combine all routine OS operations in an intuitive web app:
The most mature and well-established control panel is cPanel. But unlike so many of the big popular software packages in the Linux world, cPanel is only available as a paid subscription on only a few "Enterprise" distributions.
Other control panels that are free and worth checking out are Webmin, Vesta CP, the user-friendly YunoHost, and the multi-server-supporting ISPConfig.
A quick review of the basics: VPS vs physical servers
Both a VPS and a dedicated server give you the keys to the operating system and to the machine environment of a whole server.
In one case "machine" and "server" do refer to an actual physical box. It is a physical hardware unit dedicated entirely to you. The only resources you share with others in the datacenter are the routers.
A VPS lives in a virtual machine, a simulation of a computer running inside a big machine. The slots on these machines are given out carefully so that your VPS always has its own guaranteed disk space, its own guaranteed RAM, and its own guaranteed allotment of processing power.
On both types of private servers, which version of Linux you run, which extra programs you install, whether you run a control panel or not, how you manage your users: it's all up to you.
A VPS is a cost-effective way of stepping up to having your own private server. A dedicated server on the other hand gives you precise control of the hardware.
Managed or unmanaged?
If Linux is known for its good security level, that is because the community of developers is responsive to the discovery of vulnerabilities in their code. But you have to keep installing the corrective patches they release, or risk exposing your data to hackers.
If you are worried about keeping up, hosting companies have a solution for you: Managed Servers. For a fee, the hosting company will ensure that your OS stays up to date with the latest security fixes.
Additional managed services can include offsite backups, recovery assistance, and enhanced security. The advantages vary a lot from one provider to the next, so shop wisely.
VPS or dedicated servers
Let's see which cases call for which type of private server:
With a mail server running on your Linux server, you can not only take all your employee-confidential communications in house and organize them to your satisfaction. You can also run your newsletter campaigns with full control and without having yet another service subscription. The first mail servers ran on Unix. In many cases, the Linux world built on this solid foundation to develop fully-fledged, modern solutions covering all email service needs.. Popular open-source mail-transfer options include:
Email processing is not an onerous task if you are a small team with "average" email needs. But shared hosting will not give you full control of email filtering. A VPS can handle this easily up to hundreds of users, or thousands of newsletter recipients. If you start having millions of subscribers, then you might consider switching it up to a dedicated server with beefy hardware.
If you're developing your own software, and need to test different virtual environments, a dedicated server or a VPS is the perfect choice. With root access, you have full control over the server. You get an option to install custom modules as needed, play with different versions of programming languages, to check their compatibility and find what works best for your application. Lastly, you can use a VPS as a sandbox to test your updates, discover and fix bugs.
Storefronts and payments
With a private server you can get a fixed IP address, though this varies and depends on the package, so make sure you understand the fine print. What your own fixed IP guarantees is that you will not fall prey to abusive behavior by your neighbors which can result in banned IP addresses, malicious -activity warnings from Google, and significant damage to your reputation if you run a business.
By taking control of the order flow, you can learn a lot from your subscribers. Then you can leverage a powerful marketing-automation platform built for Linux.
To process the monetary side you have to hook into a payment processing service provider using their Application Programming Interface from your code or from third-party modules you install on your server.
Multimedia/multichannel content
If you are interested in serving multiple contents in many formats, then a shared hosting arrangement is not enough.
If you have many content creators, you won't have access to their permissions on the most granular level. If you have to pay for one service for video, one for photos, one for music streaming, another one for podcast audio hosting… Soon those services start owning you, and you incrementally lose ownership of the data these services collect on you and your creators.
The alternative is to host all these different types of content on your server. You have to choose, install and configure a media server for streaming.
By using Lesson Management Software, you can tailor subscriptions and promotions to course content on the cheap. Combining the content-management system WordPress with the free version of the MemberPress plugin is a popular way of jumping into this arena. While these are available on shared hosting, if your courses are popular, you will need to resort to more powerful solutions to avoid a crunch on shared resources.
Many games come with server components that allow you to host your own multiplayer worlds in that game's universe. You can invite your friends to join your quests in Quake, to help you build an intricate world in Minecraft, or to venture across the galaxy in Starbound, for example. The majority of these server-side game components are right at home on a Linux server.
To pick a hosting plan for gaming, you need to estimate the resources needed to run the server for the game you intend to host, given how many players you expect to host and the extensions you are planning on installing.
The most annoying problem with gaming servers is lag. If the number of players you host and the data volumes required to participate in a session combine to be too high, the experience will be degraded for many of you because of server lag. A dedicated server will give you more headroom and a more precise view of the limits you bump up against.
For small, non-data-centric companies:
Let's face it, rarely is a database limit the reason a small, non-tech company decides to upgrade to a private server. It'll be limited approved software options keeping them from adding a no-SQL solution such as MongoDB, insufficient flexibility in user management, shared storage limits, or security considerations. But it's almost never literally the database that tops out.
The allowances and features of the standard-issue MySQL databases that come with the typical shared server plan easily cover at least 80% of the Content Management Systems, project-management software, forum software, media servers, and other applications a small, non-AI centric company might want to use. And for the other 20%, it's some other readily available open-source database. Therefore, for most businesses, the best virtual servers will cover all needs.
For companies with a data & AI:
If crunching over bigger collections of data is what your business is about, then a private server is a must. You need tweaked database installs with access to lots of storage, lots of RAM, and lots of CPU. In fact, if this describes what you do, it's possible that you have your own datacenter already, and the in-house competence to run it. But that is not everyone's case.
You can dive into artificial intelligence using open-source machine-learning libraries. But your resource requirements can rocket as your models become more complex. You need dedicated servers for the savings on RAM and CPU upgrades that you can buy on your physical box.
The main reasons for the popularity of the leading open-source version of the Linux operating system are:
If a Linux private server is the way you choose to go, then the place you go next will be different if you are a design agency or a multichannel streaming site. You will pick a virtual server if reliable uptime and predictable performance are enough to satisfy your needs. If you require full access to the low-level hardware or peak performances sustained over time, then a dedicated server will be the way to go.

The peak of the hurricane season is now through the end of September, and there has been some indication of possibly a more than normal amount of storms in the Atlantic, according to Chief of Operations Dana Conover of the state Office of Emergency Management. So far, the season has proven to be relatively quiet -- but since the stormy weather is so unpredictable, it can't be determined until a few days beforehand whether a hurricane will rise in the Atlantic Ocean (or even the Gulf of Mexico), whether it will make landfall on the continental United States and whether it has Connecticut in its sights.
"We've been very fortunate," Conover said of recent near-misses by hurricanes and tropical storms. "We still hope for the best. There's only a certain amount of preparation that you can do."
Still, towns do prepare. East Hampton town officials recently convened their annual hurricane preparedness meeting, while state officials annually gather to discuss emergency scenarios.
There is a 50 percent chance this hurricane season will have normal levels of overall activity, according to scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center, National Hurricane Center and Hurricane Research Division. Typically, one or two hurricanes per season will make landfall in the United States, with another hitting in the area of the Caribbean Sea.
Historically, 55 percent of the normal-level seasons have seen between eight and 11 tropical storms, according to Climate Prediction Center officials. Sixty-seven percent of the normal seasons have five to seven hurricanes, and 67 percent have two or three major hurricanes ranking Category Three or above, according to officials.
Normal-level years have resulted in considerable damage for many American communities. A good example is 1985's Hurricane Gloria, a major storm spawned by an otherwise routine season -- and the last "decent hit" Connecticut has suffered, according to Westbrook Emergency Management Director George Pytlik said.
The Category One storm brought 90 mph winds across the state in September of 1995 and caused storm surge tides 4 to 7 feet above normal tides. Coastal flooding was lessened by the hurricane's arrival during low tide, but Gloria did cause significant beach erosion.
The storm center came ashore over western Long Island, N.Y. The wind damage was greater on the hurricane's eastern side, with downed trees causing hundreds of thousands of power outages. Some Connecticut households lost power for a week, and utility crews were called in from as far as Canada and Pennsylvania to assist with cleanup and power restoration. Six deaths were reported in the state as a result of Hurricane Gloria.
The state also "took a good beating" with Hurricane Bob in 1991, Pytlik said, although Connecticut was hit with the "soft side" of that storm. In August 1991, Bob became the first hurricane since Gloria to hit the state. The storm's eye passed just to the east of Long Island, and in the path of the hurricane, Groton received 7 inches of rain. Elsewhere in the state, 2 to 5 inches of rain fell, and there were numerous power outages and six deaths reported.
Many think hurricanes Bob and Gloria were bad, but "they were not anything," Pytlik said. "The general public underestimates the potential of a hurricane," he said. "They don't know what a real storm is."
The last benchmark storm was the Hurricane of '38, according to Pytlik. That storm -- ranked a Category Three by the NOAA -- is considered the fourth-deadliest hurricane in the United States in the 20th century; 600 deaths were reported in New England alone.
Hurricane Edna, also a Category Three storm, hit New England in 1954 and is generally remembered as another doozy.
Between 1900 and 1996, there have only been eight direct hits of hurricanes on the state -- three of which were considered major hurricanes, according to the NOAA. There were two Category One hurricanes and three each of Category Two and Three hurricanes. The major hits, the Category Three storms, all occurred in August and September.
Shoreline communities are generally affected more during a hurricane than inland communities because of storm surges, flooding and beach erosion. In Westbrook, for example, the town has multiple backup generator facilities -- including the Town Hall and schools, Pytlik said. The elementary school is considered to be an evacuation center, so it is set up with supplies from the town and Red Cross. Sand bags are used in sporadic spots for flooding, he said.
Such preparations are routine for municipalities, but during the storm season, it is advised that residents of hurricane-prone areas keep at the ready emergency kits packed with an extra set of clothes, batteries, flashlights, blankets and eyeglasses. Important papers, such as mortgages and birth certificates, should be kept together.
When storms are closing in, residents are urged to listen to radios and televisions for news about the storm and possible evacuation plans.
"When local and state jurisdictions recommend evacuation, go," Conover said. "If they say evacuate, evacuate. They don't make the decisions lightly."
Town governments and groups such as the Middlesex County Chapter of the American Red Cross help citizens during such natural disasters.
"We try to help towns and communities prepare and establish shelter sites," chapter Emergency Services Director Bruce Grotta said. "We train volunteers and provide emergency services."
During the course of a storm, the American Red Cross offers shelter, food and clothing. In the aftermath of a storm, the organization also offers family services, Grotta said. "We help the affected families and try to mitigate the factors and bridge them back to a normal life," he said.
Conover advised not waiting until the last minute if a storm is on the horizon. This means stocking up on water, canned goods, extra batteries and prescriptions if and when a storm may be approaching.
"(Get) all the things people flock to the store for and clean the shelves of, so you don't have to run out before the storm," Conover said. "You avoid a lot of problems if you do a lot ahead of time."

Allison Lohman in 'Drag Me to Hell' (2009)
*Personal Note: If you are a Sam Raimi fan, you have a much greater appreciation for this film than those who aren't. I absolutely love this one – the goat scene, come on?
Evil Dead director Sam Raimi takes the helm for this "spook-a-blast" shocker about an ambitious L.A. loan officer who incurs the wrath of a malevolent gypsy by refusing to grant her an extension on her home loan. Determined to impress her boss and get a much-needed promotion at work, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) lays down the law when mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) literally comes begging for mercy at her feet. In retaliation for being publicly shamed, Mrs. Ganush places the dreaded curse of the Lamia on her unfortunate target, transforming Christine's life into a waking nightmare. Her skeptical boyfriend, Clay (Justin Long), casually brushing off her disturbing encounters as mere coincidence, Christine attempts to escape eternal damnation by seeking out the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao ). But Christine's time is fast running out, and unless she's able to break the curse, she'll be tormented by a demon for three days before literally being dragged to hell.

Shauna MacDonald in 'The Descent' (2005)
A group of close female friends on a yearly adventure vacation find themselves trapped and hunted in a series of caves by an unknown force that lurks in the shadows in The Descent, the second horror feature from Dog Soldiers writer/director Neil Marshall. After suffering a devastating car crash one year before, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) is lured to the States with her friend Beth (Alex Reid) to a special spelunking trip by the fearless Juno (Natalie Mendoza), who abruptly fled from the U.K. after Sarah's accident. Along with two old friends and a new acquaintance of Juno's, the group embark on a cave expedition that takes a turn for the worse after a rock fall leaves them stranded in an uncharted cave with no map and only a handful of supplies to last them the rest of the trip. As tensions arise in the group, they are faced with another danger — one whose love of the dark is as strong as its lust for blood. Opening to rave reviews in the U.K. in July of 2005, the creature-feature went on to show at the Venice Film Festival and garnered the top prize for Euro feature at Sweden's Fantastic Film Festival. The Descent was picked up for future U.S. distribution by Lion's Gate, whose work was cut out for them considering the tame opening of the similarly-themed stateside production of The Cave in late-August of the same year.
Shauna Macdonald (born 21 February 1981) is a Scottish television and film actress.
Shauna Macdonald was born in Malaysia and shortly after moved back to her family's native Edinburgh, Scotland, before moving to Glasgow to train at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.
She and her husband, the actor Cal MacAninch, have three daughters, Jesi-Lilas, Ava-Red Amahle ("Amahle" means "beautiful" in Zulu) and Ever Eden-Rose.
She is a keen marathon runner.

*Personal note: If you haven't seen this one – you are missing one hell of a ride! There is so much more to be said about this film than the reviewer bothered to mention… Here's the opening dialogue:
Hero: Listen to me. A storm o'hell's coming down on this place any second. I don't know what they are, I don't know where they came from. All I do know is that these fuckers are fast, nasty, and hungry… and there's four of 'em. They got claws like Ginsu knives and more teeth than a chainsaw. They're comin'… right now. So we gotta lock this bar down. That means doors, windows, drains, and zippers, and we gotta do it now. You! Get a phone, call the cops, National Guard, townies, anybody who kicks ass, and get 'em out here. Any questions?
Bartender: Yeah. Who the hell are you?
Hero: I'm the guy that's gonna save your ass.
[a monster immediately reaches through the window and kills him]
Cheese and Crackers to all of those who've seen it ;}
The hard-drinking patrons of a small-town dive bar are forced to fight for their lives when a vicious family of flesh-eating creatures arrive looking for their latest meal in a fast and fun horror romp filmed as part of HBO's Project Greenlight series and starring Balthazar Getty, Judah Friedlander, Henry Rollins, and screen veteran Clu Gulager.

* Personal note: I LOVE this film. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out!
A young social outcast goes to great measures to find the perfect friend in this debut horror feature from director Lucky McKee. Set apart from her peers as a child due to her lazy eye, May's only friend and confidant was a delicate doll encased in glass. Though as a young adult May has learned to control her lazy eye with glasses and contacts, her introverted tendencies always seem to hinder her search for the perfect friend. Walking down the street one day, May happens across a young man tenderly caressing the damage of a wrecked car and falls in love with his seemingly perfect hands. As May and Adam (Jeremy Sisto) begin to spend more time together, the quirky couple seem to have much in common, and May believes that she might have finally happened across the perfect boy. Her deep-rooted psychological problems slowly surface, however, and Adam is gradually driven away, leaving the vulnerable May in the company of amorous co-worker Polly (Anna Faris). It soon becomes obvious to May that, though various acquaintances seem to have perfect traits, they never add up to a perfect whole — leading the creative and demented young girl to her own unique method of creating the perfect friend.

Ali Larter in 'House on Haunted Hill' (1999)
In this remake of William Castle's campy 1958 classic, an eccentric millionaire named Steven Price invites a diverse group of people to a reputedly haunted mansion that was formerly the site of an insane asylum. Steven offers his guests $1,000,000 each if they can spend the entire night at the old house without fleeing in terror. It sounds simple enough, but when those stories about ghosts haunting the mansion turn out to be true, the guests may no longer opt to stick around. In this version, Steven is played by Geoffrey Rush, and his guests include Jeffrey Combs, Taye Diggs, Peter Gallagher, Chris Kattan, and Bridgette Wilson; Famke Janssen plays Evelyn Price. Sadly, this remake does not feature the original's memorable special-effects gimmick, "Emergo," an inflatable plastic skeleton that rolled on wires through the theater during showings.
Alison Elizabeth "Ali" Larter (born February 28, 1976) is an American actress. She is best known for playing the dual roles of Niki Sanders and Tracy Strauss on the NBC science fiction drama Heroes as well as her guest roles on several television shows in the 1990s.
Larter's screen debut came in the 1999 film Varsity Blues, followed by the horror films House on Haunted Hill and Final Destination as Clear Rivers. Major supporting roles in the comedy Legally Blonde and the romantic comedy A Lot Like Love led her to lead roles as the titular character in Marigold and in the 2009 thriller Obsessed. Larter achieved wider fame after her portrayal of video game heroine Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Extinction and Resident Evil: Afterlife.
Larter's presence in the media is reinforced by her appearances in lists compiled by Maxim, FHM and Stuff as well as People magazine's "Best Dressed List" in 2007. After a three-year-long relationship with actor Hayes MacArthur, the two married in August 2009 and have a son, Theodore Hayes MacArthur, born December 2010.
Penelope Ann Miller – Celebrating Ladies of the Silver Scream for Women in Horror Recognition Month 2014

Penelope Ann Miller in 'The Relic' (1997)
*Personal Opinion: A lot of people didn't care for this particular film – the reviewer for example. I thoroughly disagree with the his assesment that it is a cheap knock-off of 'Alien'. Monster films are what they are – Monster films – and this one didn't come from outer-space so the comparison somewhat eludes me. The creature in this film craves the human hypothalamus; and being a bit of a science geek, I like that it isn't a mindless eating machine, but a 'thing' of purpose. Yes, some of the scenes border on the ridiculous, but it's a horror flick, not 'Pride and Prejudice'. (now there's some genuine crap, if you're interested)
Side note: I love the book this film is loosely based upon. It's the first in the Special Agent Pendergast series by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. Though I will readily admit the movie doesn't do it justice by any means.
Film Synopsis: (allmovies.com)
A mythological creature stalks the halls of a museum during a society fundraiser in this cheap sci-fi horror genre knock-off of Alien (1979). Penelope Ann Miller stars as Dr. Margo Green, an evolutionary biologist at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History who receives a shipment of artifacts from a colleague performing fieldwork in Brazil. Among the contents are leaves containing a rare fungus that, unbeknownst to Green or anyone else, attracts the palate of a rapidly mutating, lizard-like monster called Kothoga that has stowed away on a Brazilian freighter and has found a subterranean route into the museum from Lake Michigan. Before long, several museum employees have become decapitated snack food for the beast, which prefers to dine on human hypothalamuses and pituitary glands. Despite dire warnings from the museum staff, a gruff coroner (Audra Lindley) and the investigating detective, Lt. Vincent D'Agosta (Tom Sizemore), the Windy City's oblivious mayor orders a black-tie museum fundraiser to proceed. During the event, the building's high-tech security system locks Green, D'Agosta, the mayor, and many chi-chi party guests in with the hungry animal, forcing everyone to attempt an escape through an underground waterway with which Kothoga is all too familiar.
Penelope Ann Miller (born Penelope Andrea Miller; January 13, 1964), sometimes credited as Penelope Miller, is an American actress. She began her career on Broadway, and starred in several major Hollywood films, particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s in which she appeared in Biloxi Blues (1988), Big Top Pee-wee (1988), The Freshman (1990), Awakenings (1990), Kindergarten Cop (1990), Other People's Money (1991), Year of the Comet (1992), Chaplin (1992) and Carlito's Way (1993) and has continued to appear in supporting roles in both film and television including The Relic (1997) and The Artist (2011).

Virginia Madsen in 'Candyman' (1992)
Bernard Rose followed his moody fantasy-thriller Paperhouse (1988) with this modern horror tale, based on Clive Barker's short story "The Forbidden". Compiling a thesis on urban legends, University of Illinois in Chicago graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) becomes aware of the prevalent superstition surrounding the legend of "Candyman" (Tony Todd)–a hook-wielding phantom who will appear if his name is recited five times into a mirror–among the tenants of Chicago's Cabrini Green project. A senior professor, hearing of Helen's research, explains the historical basis for the legend, detailing how Candyman is believed to be the vengeful spirit of a former slave who, though initially respected in academia, was set upon and mutilated by an angry mob when accused of taking a white mistress. When the clinically-detached Helen flaunts her intellectual confidence by reciting Candyman's name five times, she sets in motion an inevitable series of supernatural events — culminating in a series of grisly killings, after which Helen is invariably found holding the bloody murder weapon. Though she is captured by the police, it becomes evident to Helen that Candyman is guiding her fate every step of the way.

JoBeth Williams in 'Poltergeist' (1986)
With Poltergeist, directed by Tobe Hopper, Steven Spielberg had his first great success as a producer. Released around the same time as Spielberg's E.T., the film presents the dark side of Spielberg's California suburban track homes. The film centers on the Freeling family, a typical middle class family living in the peaceful Cuesta Verde Estates. The father, Steve (Craig T. Nelson), has fallen asleep in front of the television, and the dog saunters around the house revealing the other family members — Steve's wife Diane (JoBeth Williams), sixteen-year-old daughter Dana (Dominique Dunne), eight-year-old son Robbie (Oliver Robins), and five-year-old Carol Ann (Heather O'Rourke). Soon strange things begin to happen around the house; the pet canary dies, mysterious storms occur, and Carol Ann is summoned to the TV set, where a strange shaft of green light hits her and causes the room to shake ("They're he-e-ere!"). As curious events continue, Carol Ann is repeatedly drawn to the television, where she begins to talk to "the TV people." Soon Carol Ann is sucked into a closet, disappearing from this reality plane. Unable to find his daughter, Steve consults Dr. Lesh (Beatrice Straight), a para-psychologist from a nearby college. Lesh finds that paranormal phenomena is so strong in the Freelong household she is unable to deal with it and sends for clairvoyant and professional exorcist Tangina (Zelda Rubinstein) to examine the house in hopes of finding Carol Ann. Tangina makes a horrifying discovery: Carol Ann is alive and in the house, but is being held on another spectral plane.
Margaret JoBeth Williams (born December 6, 1948) is an American film, television and stage actress and director. She rose to prominence appearing in such films as Stir Crazy (1980), Poltergeist (1982), The Big Chill (1983), The Day After (1983), Teachers (1984) and Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986). She has also performed in numerous other roles. She has been nominated for Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy Awards. Williams is the current president of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.

She attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, intending to become a child psychologist. Instead, she turned to theater, training with Jim Barnhill and John Emigh as well as at the Trinity Repertory Company, taking voice lessons to neutralize her Texan accent. Then she moved to New York City and began to appear in television series in the mid 1970s.

Vizio's latest update helps its TVs catch up to the PS5 and Xbox Series X
January 11, 2021 In Computer Games, Information Services, Motion Pictures and Film, Online Media By Cameron Faulkner
Image: Vizio
Vizio's latest TV firmware update is full of features and improvements for people who game on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC with the Nvidia RTX 3080 (or any powerful G-Sync-ready Nvidia GPU). It's currently rolling out to the company's OLED sets as well as its 2021 collection of P-Series Quantum X and P-Series Quantum models — all of which feature HDMI 2.1 ports.
Breaking it down by platform, Vizio claims that the update "enables full bandwidth 4K at 120fps" for the PlayStation 5. The PS5 doesn't natively support variable refresh rate yet.
That's not the case if you have a PC with something powerful in it like the Nvidia RTX 3080. This firmware allows for 4K resolution at up to a 120Hz refresh rate when connected to your rig, along with…

Q: How to combine two tables to get results from different table in MySQL I have three tables

I am userID: 1231. I am trying to get results of people who have given me access. I mean their marks with name.
So, according to the tables above I should get results as:

To fetch the above result I was trying out few queries. One of them is below:
 SELECT a.UserID, a.Mark1, a.Mark2, b.Name FROM details a, profile b WHERE a.UserID IN (SELECT UserID FROM Access WHERE GrantStatus = 'granted' and GrantUserID = '1231');

I get the following results for executing the above query:

Can somebody help me to fix this?

A: You need a join condition:
SELECT d.userID, d.mark1, d.mark2, p.name
FROM details d JOIN
     profile p
     ON d.userID = p.userId
WHERE d.userID IN (SELECT userID
                   FROM access
                   WHERE grantstatus = 'granted' and grantuserID = '1231'
                  );

Simple rule:  Never use commas in the from clause.
You can do this only with joins:
SELECT d.userID, d.mark1, d.mark2, p.name
FROM details d JOIN
     profile p
     ON d.userID = p.userId JOIN
     access a
     on a.userId = d.userId
WHERE a.grantstatus = 'granted' and a.grantuserID = '1231';

Q: How can I make my chatbot talk first? I made a chatbot using Unity3d and IBM watson-conversation.
It works pretty well just like my web workspace.
In my web workspace, chatbot talks to me by recognizing 'welcome'.

  //      Debug.Log(resp);
  //      Debug.Log(data);
        Act(output,feel, flag);
    }
}

A: I just fixed this issue. Now you can pass an empty string into the Conversation service to initiate a conversation.
//  Test initate with empty string
if (!_conversation.Message(OnMessage, _workspaceId, ""))
    Log.Debug("ExampleConversation", "Failed to message!");

private void OnMessage(object resp, string data)
{
    Log.Debug("ExampleConversation", "Conversation: Message Response: {0}", data);
}

A: why don't you use the same approach of sending a fake text to conversation? probably your app needs to check if theres a new session, send a fake text. Or better yet, your app just send your own welcome message without going to conversation.

In recent years, Metamorfose has established an excellent reputation among organisations in the field of city marketing. Comprising both private and public parties, this sector is experiencing rapid development, buoyed by economic growth and globalisation. Government bodies and institutions have ample funds at their disposal, increasing their opportunities to pursue their mission – and to advertise that among their target groups.
City marketing is booming. Municipalities are eager to highlight their strengths, sights, museums and other cultural or academic institutions and are doing so with ever more professional means. They are revamping and revitalising their websites, developing apps and staging campaigns. And they are increasingly aware of the need to use effective language in all these efforts.
Dutch government bodies and institutions have come to realise that assigning responsibility for their international webpages to an internal employee 'who studied English' is not necessarily the best course of action. If city marketing is to be truly effective, city managers should adopt a systematic approach with support from professionals. Websites, brochures, campaigns and other promotional material should be accessible, informative, readable and impeccable. In addition to English, they should be available in other important languages such as German, French and Spanish. The more ambitious authorities should even consider Chinese and Japanese.
Metamorfose has become a significant player in the cultural sector, providing professional translation and editing services to private and public players at the municipal, provincial and national levels. For example, on behalf of Stichting Utrecht City Marketing we meet the language needs of a wide range of parties in the Utrecht region – from Utrecht University's Botanical Gardens to the city's Catharijneconvent Museum. In addition, we provide regular translation services to organisations of international renown, including UNESCO and the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum.
