A Message from Bishop Fabbro about Residential Schools and Relations with Canada's Indigenous People
A Message from Bishop Fabbro about Residential Schools and Relations with Canada's Indigenous People All Canadians are deeply concerned and angry about the discovery of children's remains at burial sites of former residential schools in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Parishioners have written me about the Church's involvement in the residential schools and the demand for a papal apology. At the end of May, when the horrifying discovery was made of the remains of children at the Kamloops residential school, I issued a statement promising our prayers for the families and survivors and expressing our commitment to play "a constructive role in the journey towards healing and reconciliation". I would like to draw your attention to a couple of recent statements that have been published by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. The statement on June 10 explains the work the bishops have been doing for several years now with Indigenous Peoples from across Canada. I encourage you to read the statement at this link. It has been important for the bishops to sit down with Indigenous communities, in "listening circles", to hear their stories and to listen to what they need from the Catholic Church for reconciliation. It also is important that Indigenous voices lead the process. A key initiative arising from these conversations is the pastoral visit of Indigenous Peoples with Pope Francis that will take place December 17-20 in Rome. The group, which will include residential school survivors, Elders and youth, will be able to dialogue directly with the pope, and he will be able to express to them "his heartfelt closeness, address the impact of colonization and the implications of the Church in the residential schools, so as to respond to the suffering of Indigenous Peoples and the ongoing effects of intergenerational trauma". For the bishops, the conversations we have had with Indigenous Peoples, the work we are doing together and the delegation that will visit with the pope are steps on the journey of reconciliation and healing. The hope is that these common efforts will build bridges and new relationships between Indigenous Peoples and the Catholic Church in Canada, and lead to further action. All of these statements, including my own, and resources about this important issue are available on the Diocese of London website at this link. Most Rev. Ronald P.

Q: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. PHP error Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\classes\DB.php on line 21

Warning: PDO::__construct(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. in C:\xampp\xampp\htdocs\classes\DB.php on line 21
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.

It gives me this error when its on XAMPP, but when i put it on a live server it works fine, I know the DB credentials are correct, I am using the current version of XAMPP (as of yesterday)  for windows and using Apache 2 on the live server, both with MySql.
Line 18-25:
// Takes values from 'config.php' and uses them to connect
private function __construct() {
    try {
        $this->_pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=' . Config::get('msql/host') . ';dbname=' . Config::get('mysql/db'), Config::get('mysql/username'), Config::get('mysql/password'));
    } catch(PDOException $e) {
        die($e->getMessage());
    }
}

And this is where the array is set:
// Sets the config valuses
$GLOBALS['config'] = array(
    'mysql' => array(
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'username' => 'root',
        'password' => 'password',
        'db' => 'site'
    ),
    'remember' => array(
        'cookie_name' => 'hash',
        'cookie_expiry' => 604800
    ),
    'session' => array(
        'session_name' => 'user'
    )
);

And the config class:
class Config {
    public static function get($path = null) {
        if($path) {
            $config = $GLOBALS['config'];
            $path = explode('/', $path);

            foreach($path as $bit) {
                if(isset($config[$bit])) {
                    $config = $config[$bit];
                }
            }

            return $config;
        }

        return false;
    }
}

A: Typos:
    $this->_pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=' . Config::get('msql/host') . ';dbname=' .
                                                       ^^^^^---no Y

$GLOBALS['config'] = array(
    'mysql' => array(
      ^---has a Y

A: $this->_pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=".config::get('mysql/host').";dbname=".config::get('mysql/database') ,config::get('mysql/user'),config::get('mysql/password'));

Please check! Is there any space between "mysql:host=".config::get('mysql/host')."? I was getting the same error because of space!

A: $dbhost = "localhost:3306"; adding the MySQL port worked for me

.aa A low-bitrate audiobook container format with DRM, containing audio encoded as either MP3 or the ACELP speech codec.
Audio editing software is software which allows editing and generating of audio data. Audio editing software can be implemented completely or partly as library, as computer application, as Web application or as a loadable kernel module. Wave Editors are digital audio editors and there are many sources of software available to perform this function. Most can edit music, apply effects and filters, adjust stereo channels etc.
Sound is defined as "(a) Oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement, particle velocity, etc., propagated in a medium with internal forces (e.g., elastic or viscous), or the superposition of such propagated oscillation. (b) Auditory sensation evoked by the oscillation described in (a). " Sound can be viewed as a wave motion in air or other elastic media. In this case, sound is a stimulus. Sound can also be viewed as an excitation of the hearing mechanism that results in the perception of sound. In this case, sound is a sensation .
Digital sound is not a recording of the actual sound, but rather a combination of binary code, the utmost simplest machine language of zeros and ones, representing the sound's intensity and pitch at precise intervals with relative accuracy. The binary code is arranged in a specific pattern informing the computer how to recreate the sound itself. It is not a single wave the way analog sound is, but rather a composite of multiple segments representing consecutive moments of intensity and pitch. Where an analog recording is similar to the fluency of film, a digital recording is stop motion photography.

Q: How to use the function slice correctly I was looking to use slice, and this example here seemed to be most applicable.  However, when I tried this for my data in didn't work but I'm not sure what I am missing.
Data
library(tidyverse)
library(lubridate)

# Data
my_df <- structure(list(Date = structure(c(17896, 17986, 18077, 18160), class = "Date"),
                        t_period = c("Quarter", "Quarter", "Quarter", "Quarter"),
                        A = c(-10.2, 9.4, 3.2, 0.7), B = c(-13.6, 13.4, 6.2, 2.8)), class = c("grouped_df",
                                                                                "tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"), row.names = c(NA, -4L), groups = structure(list(
                                                                                Date = structure(c(17896, 17986, 18077, 18160), class = "Date"),
                                                                                .rows = list(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L)), row.names = c(NA, -4L), class = c("tbl_df",
                                                                                "tbl", "data.frame"), .drop = TRUE))

# my_df
# A tibble: 4 x 4
# Groups:   Date [4]
#  Date       t_period     A     B
#  <date>     <chr>    <dbl> <dbl>
#1 2018-12-31 Quarter  -10.2 -13.6
#2 2019-03-31 Quarter    9.4  13.4
#3 2019-06-30 Quarter    3.2   6.2
#4 2019-09-21 Quarter    0.7   2.8

What I want to do is filter out the last quarter date if it is before the quarter end.
# Get end of existing quarter
end_of_qtr <- ceiling_date(as.Date("2019-09-28"), "quarter") - 1

# Filter out last row if Date < quarter end date
filtered_df <- my_df %>%
  group_by(t_period) %>%
  arrange(Date) %>%
  slice(ifelse( n() < end_of_qtr, 1:(n()-1), n() ))

However, this does not return the desired result, which would be the first 3 rows of my_data since the last date ("2019-09-21" is before the end_of_qtr date "2019-09-30")
Could someone tell me the correct way to use slice to do this please?

Q: May I know why the tableview cell getting lazy while I'm scrolling? if (cell.tag == indexPath.row) {
    [cell.imageView sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[enclosureUrlArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]]
                           placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder"] options:indexPath.row == 0 ? SDWebImageRefreshCached : 0];
                    CGSize itemSize = CGSizeMake(50, 50);
                    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(itemSize);
                    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, itemSize.width, itemSize.height);
                    [cell.imageView.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
                    [cell.imageView.layer setCornerRadius:2.5f];
                    [cell.imageView.image drawInRect:imageRect];
                    cell.imageView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
                    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
                    cell.imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
       }

    return cell;

I used SDWebImage only. While I'm scrolling my UITableView cells are stuck - it's not scrolling smoothly. I am retrieving images from a web service. Can you let me know why this is happening?

A: In your code you will face a problem while scrolling the table view, because after downloading the image you're changing the image shape, like applying Bounds, Radius. So that image shape is changing every time. It'd be better not to use any 3rd party library but use apple APIs instead.
The code below might help:
cell.imageView.image = nil;
        dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
        dispatch_async(queue, ^(void) {

            NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:parsedData[@"imageLR"]];

            UIImage* image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];
            if (image) {
                 dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                     if (cell.tag == indexPath.row) {
                         cell.imageView.image = image;
                    CGSize itemSize = CGSizeMake(50, 50);
                    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(itemSize);
                    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, itemSize.width, itemSize.height);
                    [cell.imageView.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
                    [cell.imageView.layer setCornerRadius:2.5f];
                    [cell.imageView.image drawInRect:imageRect];
                    cell.imageView.image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
                    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
                    cell.imageView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingNone;
                         [cell setNeedsLayout];
                     }
                 });
             }
        });

A: If you want your table view to scroll buttery-smooth, I suggest you watch Session 211 of WWDC 2012, Building Concurrent User Interfaces and apply the concepts there. This features cells whose contents are independently queried and rendered.
The basic concept is as follows:
1. In tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath, a cell is instantiated.
2. In the same method, an operation for retrieving the data to populate the cell is created and stored into a dictionary. A reference to the cell is passed to the operation. The operation has a completion handler that populates the cell and removes the operation from the dictionary.
3. Before the cell is returned from the method, the operation is added to an operation queue.
4. In tableView:didEndDisplayingCell:forRowAtIndexPath, operations for cells that have moved off-screen are cancelled and removed from the dictionary.

Improved appetite and at the same time better metabolism of fodder.
Prevention and treatment of muscular distortion, thus saving time in training.
Improvement to horse's coat and much easier shedding of winter coat.
Rapid drying of sweaty or wet horses after work or pasture, thus avoiding chills.
Strengthening of the nervous condition and better nervous balance through complete relaxation.

Business deadline day view: Anaheim DucksBuyers or perhaps vendors?
If we all have been to publish upwards any business deadline day survey with the benefits of drinking coconut oil and the Anaheim Geese monthly in the advantages of coconut oil and the past, we all would have got mentioned they might become vendors on the coconut oil cancer and the business deadline day. Yet Anaheim provides focused these days, and also they've got stormed proper around ab muscles the pleaser 3023 and the top of thieves essential oil benefits and of Pacific cycles Split, and they're going to without difficulty are in theplayoff area. This kind of 4 thieves essential oil recipe and of tends to make Anaheim customers, and so they is not going to merely glimpse from the benefits of gargling with coconut oil and the clearance trash can across the how to use thieves oil for a cold and the NHL, they are able to probably move all-out on the cocoa nut oil and the deadline day.
With a huge level of uses for thieves and of skilled degree between their particular glowing blue series and also their particular goaltending corps, the the benefits of oil pulling with coconut oil and the particular Geese are able to afford to go a huge bit on the coconut oil chews and the deadline day regarding one more huge bit. Sufficient reason for above $28 thousand inside cover area, Anaheim are able to afford essentially any person on the organic coconut oil benefits and the deadline day.
The deadline day should truly become a fantastic evening regarding Anaheim.
As mentioned before, the coconutoil and the particular Geese have a fantastic level of doterra oil pulling recipe and of degree between their particular defensemen and also goaltenders. Yet just what the oil pulling uses and the particular Geese shortage will be credit scoring wingers, which is just what are going to trying to find on the can you eat coconut oil and the business deadlineday.
In his / her quick stint, Shea Theodore enjoyed very well foryour Geese, yet Anaheim basically doesn't always have area inside the coconut cooking oil and the NHL for 20-year-old defenseman possibility. Theodore can be a encouraging NHL person, and also it will be quite unexpected to find out the coconut oil gargle and the particular Geese spend the coconut oil mouthwash recipe and the the particular two-way defenseman.

High school Spanish teacher Bryan Upshaw writes for eSchool News that, despite its ability to connect students with experts worldwide and provide insight on real-world experiences, video conferencing remains an underutilized tool.
Upshaw writes that just about every classroom has the means to utilize tools like Skype, Face Time, Facebook Messenger, Google Hangout or Viber to connect students with experts in a variety of fields, and he notes that the approach has been shown to increase student engagement and listening and speaking skills due to the real-time interaction and immediate feedback from someone outside of students' daily world.
To get started, Upshaw recommends using the summer to reach out to college professors, museums, peers who might know relevant experts and friends who might now be experts themselves, adding that some organizations like the Smithsonian Institution also offer free video conferences.
One of the most basic ways to boost student engagement with learning material is to demonstrate its relevance to the real world, and the easiest way to accomplish that is to put them face-to-face with an expert in a given field. Unfortunately, this isn't possible for many schools — especially those in rural locales. But modern technology has transcended the limitations of physical distance, allowing teachers to virtually connect their students with professionals in the field and more.
For example, a science lesson covering dinosaurs can now be connected with a paleontologist on a dig site, or a social studies class can potentially interact with one of their representatives, all in real-time. This can be especially important when it comes to providing students of color with role models they relate to across numerous professions. And as Upshaw notes, the approach can also help language educators enrich their classrooms by allowing an English-speaking class learning Spanish to connect with a Spanish-speaking class learning English in another country, providing a valuable peer-learning opportunity for students on both ends.

According to the previous events, the price of GBP/USD has still been trapped between 1.5933 and 1.5816. The level of 1.5998 will indicate strong resistance (the weekly resistance 1). Moreover, the price will form a new top at this level of 100% Fibonacci retracement levels (1.6021). Therefore, it will be very gainful to sell at 1.5998 with the first target at 1.5878, then it will continue towards 1.5789 in order to test the last week bottom. It should be noted that a double bottom will be set at the level of 1.5789 (00% Fibonacci retracement levels) in H1 chart.
If the trend is buoyant, then the strength of the currency will be defined as following: EUR is in the uptrend and USD is in the downtrend.
Fibonacci retracement is used for determining accurate psychological levels of support and resistance. The period of time should be taken into account.
Fibonacci is in a range trade; it looks like the trend is trapped moving up or down. If you sell or buy in the long-term period, you will surely lose your profit.
First outlook: buy (buy limit) above 1.2441 with the first target of 1.2500, it might resume towards the first resistance at 1.2568.
Second outlook: below the level of 1.2440 (sell stop) look for further downside with the 1.2412 and 1.2357 targets. Also, it should be noted that the double bottom will set at the price of 1.2357.
New weekly range: 287 pips.
As a rule, the market is highly volatile if the previous day had a huge volatility.
Volatility: 245.76, therefore the market indicates the higher volatility.
We have entered the support-zone between 1.5903 - 1.5958, which we expect will protect the downside for a new rally towards 1.6273. However, it will take a break either below 1.5903 or a break above 1.6273 to break out of the last two months deadlock and get a more clear picture of what has been going on.
We will buy EUR at 1.5925 with a stop at 1.5875.
The correction from 144.22 towards 141.70 is still unfolding. However, once this correction is over, look for a new rally towards the first target for red wave v at 145.21 to end wave iii and set the stage for yet another correction in wave iv. We still have some upside to cover, but will soon enter the final phase of the rally of the 134.14 low. Short term, only a break above 143.06 will confirm that the correction is over.
We will buy EUR at 142.00 or upon a break above 143.62 with a stop at 140.50 and place take profit at 145.00.
The impulsive wave progression of the internal sub-cycle has been invalidated due to wave -ii- overlapping wave -i- and the overall count has been updated. Currently, it looks like the top for blue wave 5 might be in place but the confirmation comes when the market will violate the level of 1.1220. Otherwise, another leg higher can not be ruled out just yet on intraday timeframe. Moreover, please notice that any breakout below the level of 1.1120 will Chablis the long term high at the level of 1.1464 and a meaningful corrective cycle can start developing to the downside.
Swing traders should consider closing longer-term buy orders if the level of 1.1220 is violated.
The Dollar index has broken below the short-term support levels and has started a deeper downward correction as I warned last week. In my previous analysis, I suggested that bulls should be very cautious and raise their stops as the Dollar index was near completing the rise from 85.
The Dollar index has started a short-term reversal that is heading towards the short-term support at the 38% retracement at 87.10. At 86.75 we find the cloud support that will be tested if we break below 87.10.
In the daily chart the Dollar index is showing signs of reversal and that the upward move from 84.40 is complete. So, we could see a pullback towards 86 where the 61.8% retracement is found. This scenario does not cancel the target of the bullish flag pattern. This pullback is seen as a back test of the break out highs at 86, so I consider it as another buy opportunity. The longer-term trend remains bullish.
Gold price has made a sharp upward reversal on Friday as expected by our analysis towards our short-term target of $1,170-$1,180. This bounce has been expected since last week as the sequence of 5 waves down was completed at $1,130. The bounce is of a corrective nature and once the upward correction ends, we should see a resumption of the down trend towards our longer-term target of $1,050.
In ichimoku cloud terms, the trend remains bearish as price remains below the Ichimoku cloud although it has broken above the kijun-sen and tenkan-sen. In Elliott wave terms, the upward bounce should consist of 3 waves as this is expected to be a corrective bounce against the longer-term downtrend. This bounce is expected to be another opportunity to sell Gold.
Gold price is consolidating near its highs as can be seen in the short-term chart above. Short-term support is found at $1,169 and short-term resistance is at $1,178. Breaking either level will give a move towards $1,150 or $1,195. The form of the rise from the $1,130 lows looks unfinished. I believe we can see a move higher towards $1,195-$1,200 where the weekly resistance in Gold price is set. This back test of the break down level is something we anticipated. My longer-term view remains bearish with $1,050 as a target.
The corrective cycle displayed by blue wave 4 is developing into a complex correction. The first support is at the level of 141.66, but it might be easily broken if the last wave of the correction accelerates to the downside. In that case, next support would be at the level of 140.79. When the corrective cycle is completed, another wave to the upside is expected.
Day traders should consider opening buy orders from the level of 141.66, with SL below the level of 141.36 and TP at the level of 142.91.
The EUR/JPY pair has is ready to follow up lower after after producing a shooting star on Friday. The pair has made an interim top at the 144.21 levels and is on its way to 140.00/139.00 at least. Resistance is now seen at 145.50, while support is seen at sub 140.00, followed by 139.00, 138.00, 135.00 and lower respectively. It is recommended to remain short, with risk at 144.50 levels for now. As seen here, the trend line supports are passing through 140.50 and 138.50 respectively and bulls are expected to resume rally from any one of these. The pair seems to be on its way to print fresh highs above 145.50 after the pullback is done.
Remain short for now, stop at 144.50, the target 140.00.
The GBP/CHF pair has pulled back from resistance at 1.5450 levels, as discussed earlier. Furthermore, the pair has broken below the counter trend line support as seen here. Currently trading at the 1.5340/45 levels, the pair is expected to face resistance around 1.5375/80 levels. Higher resistance is seen at 1.5450, followed by 1.5550 while support is seen at 1.5200, followed by 1.5125, 1.4975 and lower respectively. It is still recommended to remain short and expect the pair to drift further lower. On the flip side, a rally back towards 1.5450 and above would turn maters in favor of bulls.
Remain short, stop at 1.5550, the target is open.
The soft US data pushed the prices to a 4-day low. At the end of the previous week, the pair closed at the highest level. The pair has been enjoying its upswing with higher lows in the weekly chart for 2-years. As we recommended earlier, in case if the pair closes above 1.1279 on a weekly closing basis, the pair will challenge 1.1530 in the near term, 1.1644 and 1.1685 in the medium term and 1.1900 and 1.2350 in the long-term perspective. We are still recommending the same. The weekly support level exists between 1.1275 and 1.1260 levels. The pair has resistance at 1.1425 on a daily closing basis. After making a new swing high, the pair is likely to take 14 days to make another new high. On August 06, 2014 the pair made a new high at 1.0986, after this high it corrected up to 1.0860 and made a new high at 1.0998 on August 23, 2014. The same repeated on October 15, 2014, high was made at 1.1386, then corrected up to 1.1122 and new high was reached at 1.1467 14 days later.
For an intraday session, the support level exists at 1.1300. We recommend safe selling only below 1.1300 with the targets at 1.1293, 1.1264, and 1.1255. Below 1.1255, the panic will be triggered towards 1.1225, 1.1200, and 1.1185 levels. The prices are closed below 12ema and 35DEMA, which means some weakness after a sharp upswing. We recommend safe buying above 1.1400 with the target at 1.1450.
Silver bounced off the $15.00 levels on Friday and closed around the high of the day at $15.75, producing a morning star on the daily chart view. It is recommended to remain long and also continue to buy on dips. Resistance is seen at $16.20 levels, followed by $17.40, $17.80/18.00 while support is seen at $15.00 levels respectively. Bulls want to target at $16.20 as an immediate target before pulling back. Also note that $16.20/25 is the fibonacci 0.382 resistance level of the drop between $17.50 and $15.00 levels respectively. Breaking the $16.20 resistance, Silver could be bought again after dips around $15.50 region.
Remain long in the metal for now. Stop at $14.75.
Gold has rallied from $1,130 to $1,180.00 levels, as expected. It is recommended to take profit on long positions taken on Friday, at the current levels ($1,172.00). The metal had paused at fibonacci 0.382 resistance for now and can possibly print a new high (just by a few points), before pulling back to retrace. Resistance is seen at $1,208.00, followed by $1,235.00, $1,250.00 while support is seen at $1,130.00 respectively. It remains possible that the current rally could extend above $1,250.00 but at the moment it is too early to confirm. Looking for a pullback around $1,150.00 levels to again initiate long positions.
Exit long positions. Re-enter around $1,150.00, stop at $1,125.00, the target is open.
The yellow metal rebounds from the lower levels after the soft US data hit the wires. The overall picture favors bears. In Friday's session, the metal gained approximately $35 and closed above the day's high. Today, the metal opened on a bearish note, opened higher at $1,177.60. We recommend buying only above $1,178.50 levels and strong upmove will underpin above $1,183.00 with the targets at 1,200 .00 and 1,212.00. The weekly support exists at $1,161.00, below this free mode will be triggered. As we recommended earlier, we are still looking at the lower level targets of $1,024.00, $927.00 and $850.00-$800.00 in the longer-term view. The metal has strong resistance at the broken support trend line, above this at $1,188.00 200MSma and $1,212.00 200MEma. The monthly resistance exists at $1,233.00.
For an hourly basis, the prices are closed above 35DEMA and 12ema levels. The prices have strong resistance at $1,178.50. We recommend buying above $1,178.50 with the targets at $1,182.00, above this at $1,190.00 and $1,193.00. In case, if the prices break below $1,167.90, the weakness persists. We recommend selling at $1,167.00 with the targets at $1,158.00, below this at $1,152.00 and $1,146.00. Currently, the trading range of the prices is framed between $1,178.40 and $1,167.90 levels. Either side breakout will provide further room for trading.
When the European market opens, some economic news will be released such as Italian Industrial Production m/m, and Sentix Investor Confidence. The US economic calendar will not release any reports today. So, in this context, EUR/USD will move with low to medium volatility during this day.
In Asia, Japan will not release any economic data. The US economic calendar does not expect any reports today. So, there is a big probability the USD/JPY pair will move with low volatility during the day.
The pair saw another bearish week. On Friday's session the pair managed to recover 40 pips and closed at the highest point. This week the key economic event to be released on Wednesday is the UK employment data. The pair has resistance at 1.6040, 1.6147, and 1.6220 levels. On the downside, 1.5750 will act as strong support, below this 1.5620 and 1.5500 are open targets. The pair favors selling on the rise. The cable has strong resistance between 1.6227 and 1.6183 levels. Use every rise to sell, until the prices close above these resistance levels. The monthly resistance exists at 1.6030 50M sma levels. The pair has weekly resistance at 1.6025, above this we can expect 1.6092 and 1.6200.
For an intraday view, the prices are closing and trading above 35DEMA. The prices have resistance at the 1.5896 levels. Above this, 1.5910 and 1.5940 will act as resistance levels. Until the prices close below 1.5940, bears will try to drag the pair to lower levels. In the h4 chart, the prices are making lower highs and lower lows. We recommend selling below 1.5870 with the targets at 1.5845 and 1.5800 levels.
The pair saw another bearish week. On Friday's session the pair managed to recover 80 pips and closed at the highest point. This week, the key economic events falling on Wednesday are Industrial production, Thursday German final CPI, French CPI, and US unemployment claims. The major key events falling on Friday are French and German prelim GDP, French non-farm payrolls, US retail sales and core retails sales. We expect a huge volatility this weekend. The pair has weekly resistance at 1.2580, 1.2630, and 1.2770. Until the prices close below 1.2500 on a daily basis, the bears will have an upper hand. As we recommended earlier, sell on every upswing with the downside initial targets at 1.2300 and 1.2230. As we know, President Draghi said the ECB would soon start the purchases of asset-backed securities for two years. On the downside, the pair has support at 1.2350, below this 1.2226 is the major support level.
For an intraday view, the prices are closed and trading above 12ema and 35DEMA. But the pair has strong hourly resistance at 1.2480. Above this, 1.2505 will act as another resistance level. On the down side, the pair has support at 1.2460, below this at 1.2435, 1.2410, and 1.2366. In case, if the pair correct below 1.2400 again the selling pressure will increase. The panic will be triggered below the 1.2358 levels. We recommend buying only above 1.2485 with the targets at 1.2500 and 1.2530 levels. Risky traders use sl 1.2485 selling on an up move. On a positional basis, we recommend selling on every upswing.
EUR/USD: This pair is still in a weak market, but there is a good possibility that the pair may rally this week. This may happen as a result of the EUR becoming strong versus some other popular currencies, including, of course, the USD. This may happen this week or next week, and therefore we are looking for a rally here.
USD/CHF: This currency trading instrument closed at 0.9660 (on Friday, November 7, 2014). The price closed lower in the context of a downtrend. Some may see the bearish correction as another opportunity to go long, provided that the price would not go below the resistance level at 0.9600. It is a level where long trades may no longer be sensible.
USD/JPY: The USD/JPY pair tested the supply level at 115.50 several times, but it was unable to break it to the upside. There is an existing bearish pullback in the market, which could be challenged at the demand level of 113.50. Any movement below that demand level may put the bullish outlook in a precarious situation.
The USDX has made an interesting pullback at the level of 87.95 on the daily chart. Because of this bearish pattern, the USDX could make a breakout at the support level of 87.35 and fall to the level of 86.20. However, we must be cautious in the medium term with the USDX, because this instrument could rise to the resistance level of 88.63.
On the H1 chart, the USDX had a fall from the resistance level of 88.15. Now, this instrument is finding support at the 87.58 level. If the USDX manages to make a breakout at that level, the next target would be the 87.28 level. However, our bullish outlook on the USDX still kept alive, because this instrument is located above the 200 SMA. MACD indicator remains in the negative territory.
Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place buy (long) orders only if the USD Index breaks with a bullish candlestick; the resistance level is at 87.86, take profit is at 88.15, and stop loss is at 87.57.
At the H4 chart, the GBP/USD pair is forming a bullish pattern above the support level of 1.5811, while the resistance level of 1.5874 has halted future rises in the GBP/USD. This pair is likely to achieve consolidation above this level during this week though GBP/USD remains strong in the current bearish trend. On the downside road, if this pair makes a breakout at the support level of 1.5811, it would be expected to fall to the level of 1.5698 in the medium term.
The GBP/USD pair has made a strong bullish rebound at the support level of 1.5810. This pair is likely to make a pullback at the resistance level of 1.5871, because we expect this pair to finish making corrective movements in this area. On the other hand, consolidation above this resistance level, could lead GBP/USD to rise up to the level of 1.5925 in the H1 chart. The MACD indicator remains in the positive territory.
Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 1.5810, take profit is at 1.5739, and stop loss is at 1.5881.

Confirmed: Facebook Messenger for Mac in the works
January 10, 2016 By Sam Catherman
New photo evidence confirms that Facebook is working on a version of its Messenger app for Macs - here are the details.
If you're one of 1.55 billion Facebook users in the world, you have probably heard of the Messenger app by now. And chances are, you have accessed the app using a Mac at one point or another. According to a report from Tech Crunch, eyewitness reports and photographic evidence have confirmed that the company is waiting to release a brand-new Facebook Messenger for Mac desktop app.
But what's the point of the new app if Messenger is already accessible through the web? For one, the app will allow users to communicate with their Facebook friends without having to deal with the distraction of a constantly-updated news feed. The message list will be clear and easy to navigate without the clutter of baby pictures and status updates from distant acquaintances. The Messenger app icon would sit neatly in the Mac's dock like any other program would.
Facebook has declined to confirm the existence of the app, but a photo obtained by TechCrunch reportedly shows a Facebook employee using the new app. The company responded to a request for comment, "We don't comment on rumor or speculation."
With its staggering user base, Messenger stands to emerge on the forefront of communications technologies moving forward. By making a user-friendly messaging service that people will want to interact with, Facebook hopes to lock users into continuing to use their other services, including the News Feed which provides the company with crucial ad revenue.
The move echoes a recent decision to separate Messenger from Facebook's mobile app, and could very well mean the demise of other up-and-coming chat services.
In 2011, Facebook began hiring developers to work on various PC and Mac applications. After an unexpected leak, the company rolled out a Facebook Messenger for Windows app in 2012. After two years of living in relative obscurity, Facebook shut down the Windows messenger app. "We're sorry, but we can no longer support Facebook Messenger for Windows, and it will stop working on March 3, 2014," the company wrote.
That was the last time Facebook rolled out a piece of desktop software, but speculation about the fate of the Messenger app means that it might not be this way for long.
The demand for a dedicated Messenger application has been high, and hackers have built various unofficial versions over the course of the past few years, including FBMacMessenger and Messenger for Desktop.
It is likely that Facebook will still keep the option to use Messenger on a web browser in addition to rolling out the new desktop app. Building off the success of other dedicated messaging services like Slack, the new Messenger desktop app could be poised to convert millions of users into fans.
It remains unclear when the new Messenger desktop app will roll out, but geeks and social butterflies alike are growing increasingly excited for its arrival.

Q: Creating a lambda layer with numpy as dependency I am trying to use the sagemaker SDK within a lambda, which depends on numpy.
I am aware that numpy needs some extra steps to work within lambda given its reliance on compiled binaries, so I followed the guides below to try and create a lambda layer that can successfully add numpy as a dependency to my lambda:
Serverless - Numpy - Unable to find good bind path format
AWS Lambda and python numpy module
https://medium.com/@shimo164/lambda-layer-to-use-numpy-and-pandas-in-aws-lambda-function-8a0e040faa18
I have made sure that I created my layer zip file on a linux machine so that the compiled binaries would be for the correct OS. I've also made sure that the layer zip is within lambda's deploy requirements. However, when I try to import sagemaker within my lambda, I get the following error:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.9 from "/var/lang/bin/python3.9"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.21.6"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'

I am not sure what else to try at this point. Every other guide I find is a variation of the links I've posted above. What am I doing wrong?

Asylum seeker who had child with Direct Provision centre security guard settles High Court action over surname on birth cert
An asylum seeker who became pregnant following a relationship with a security guard at a Direct Provision centre has settled a High Court action over a refusal to register the father's surname on the child's birth certificate.
The father's surname been registered on the birth cert since she brought legal proceedings, the court heard.
The man had refused to consent to the boy being registered using his surname, the court was told earlier this year when the mother got leave to bring the proceedings over the refusal of the State registry authority to put his name on the cert.
When the matter returned before the High Court, Mr Justice Michael McGrath was told the case had been resolved and could be struck out.
The African woman, who has been in Ireland since 2014, fled her native country in 2010 and gave birth to the child in 2016.
The court previously heard she had been in a relationship with her son's father, a security guard at the Direct Provision Centre where she still resides.
The relationship ended before the boy was born, and she has a maintenance order naming the man as the father of their child.
She had been married but divorced from her former husband before arriving in Ireland.
One of the reasons she wanted to register her son with the father's name was because she did not want the child to have the surname of her ex-husband and it would not reflect the boy's true origins.
After her son's birth, she made several unsuccessful attempts in 2016 and 2017 to register the boy using his father's surname.
She claimed she was informed she could not give the boy the father's surname without the father attending at the office the Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths.
She then obtained the assistance of the Citizen's Information Services (CIS), which dealt with the office of the Registrar General, An tArd Chlaraitheoir, on her behalf.
If the father was not willing to attend the office she could only give the child the surname she is currently using, she was allegedly informed.
The CIS, in July 2017, asked An tArd Chlaraitheoir for details and legislation which requires a father to attend the registry office, as it was unable to find it.
A representative of An tArd Chlaraitheoir informed the CIS it was unable to cite the relevant legislation, and added there was no discretion to give the boy his father's surname, she claimed.
In August 2017 the CIS asked An tArd Chlaraitheoir to give the boy his father's surname because of the exceptional circumstances that applied in the case, she claimed.
In a reply, which resulted in the bringing of the High Court action, An tArd Chlaraitheoir said there is no provision in the Civil Registration Act to allow the mother register her son's birth using any other surname than her own one.
In her action on both her and her son's behalf, they sought an order compelling An tArd Chlaraitheoir to register the boy's surname in accordance with the 2004 Civil Registration Act.

So, it's the last day of August. Cloudy and humid, and all of my bags are packed for a month in Ireland. Which I imagine will be greener than our regular lawn is – will report on that later.
Davy started teaching already this week, and has made (probably) one of the last brie-and tomato sandwiches of the year – although he did restock the tomato section of the fridge today at the Farmer's market.
He was suckered into buying a tomato-specific kitchen aid earlier this week at Stop-and-Shop, a storage unit which I had deemed cute but-not-for-purchase. He overruled this decision, and has been able to use the device with our regular tomatoes until today.
and then,
Farmer's market tomatoes are indeed larger than the supermarket ideal.
The Art of Humor Gallery, take 1
A while back, one of my colleagues was getting ready to direct Into the Woods, and was telling me how excited he was about the project. "I mean," he said, "this show has real depth – it's not like The Pajama Game." Which I let go at the time, since I like the Sondheim work a lot myself. But I also like Pajama Game, and especially like its no-pretensions-here attitude. I think some of the "deep" Sondheim stuff gets credit for using what is really cartoonish neurotic behavior as sophistication, at the expense of more realistic-but-still-funny recognizable stuff, like "friendship," say. In Into the Woods the cartoon behavior works, since the characters are archetypes anyway, and they are allowed to be funny, not just sarcastic/wounded. It doesn't have the standard late-20th-century this-is-important undercurrent to the humor.
The Pajama Game, while not as minute-to-minute effective as a bunch of other classic musicals (including one that shares a bunch of DNA with it, The Music Man), uses some comedy tropes really well. I think the female lead's first number is well paced and silly in a good way, in line with a lot of Hammerstein numbers. I appreciate the chorus's "obviously, naturally, definitely" responses – pretty much the same thing as you'd find in lots of buddy-comedy songs. Who doesn't like musical banter?
It's true that the whole show bogs down a bit, and the movie version in particular doesn't show the later numbers to their best advantage, but still, the thing holds up way better than lots of message musicals or the more recent jukebox shows. I know that part of my affection for it is based on growing up with the cast recording, which was on a regular rotation in our house with other classic 50's shows, for which I thank my mom. And it is funny for long stretches, featuring mainly gentle ribbing. It is not trying to address the ills of all the world – so, I guess it's not deep, but that's OK.
You don't see the classic musical comedy banter too much in art song venues, which probably comes from a combination of historical tendencies and solo singer recital preferences. Sometimes when one of my own humorous songs is programmed on a formal recital, the performers can be uncomfortable with it, not wanting to seem silly. Plus, the audience members are not sure whether or not they can laugh. (This usually takes of itself if the audience has the texts to the songs in front of them – then they can see for themselves if they really heard a joke.) Just last week some other colleagues performed a song cycle of mine on texts by Sarah Manguso. Parts of it are really comic, no kidding (so to speak). They've sung this a few times now, and so are completely OK with selling the jokes that are woven into some serious texts:
So, I'm hoping that the upcoming movie of Into the Woods is very funny in addition to having depth, as my director friend would say. I'm cautiously optimistic, given the basic gentle humor between the characters I've seen in stage productions. But then, there was that awful movie of A Little Night Music which had no comedy whatsoever.
On a short trip up Route 100 today, we passed a sign that said "Art of Humor Gallery – next right." It seems like it's a real thing.
This seems very promising – a whole gallery for the Art of Humor! ..and the Vermont artist that shows there seems very much into the gentle-comedy idea…
Have bass clarinet, will travel, with some extra planning..
So, I have just returned from the massive International Clarinet Association's ClarinetFest (I think that's supposed to have a "registered trademark" thing there, but hey) in Assisi, Italy. My husband warned me that, not only would it not be raining anytime that week in Umbria, but that it would be around 100°F most of the time. I was worried about having to check my bass clarinet on the plane, since I'd committed to playing in the 30-piece American Professors Clarinet Choir at the end of the festival, and therefore had to choose between lugging my very-heavy-but-reliable-for-airlines case or the new, fancy lightweight BAM case. Went with heavy case. Very sorry. (No, no, the instrument is fine, but I had to carry the thing around a festival built into a hill, with stairways to all venues. Stairs like this:
The cool thing is that I was far from alone in this undertaking. There were lots of bass clarinet players, all happily carting their instruments around just for the chance to play.
True, many of them did have the ultralight cases, and/or had somehow talked their airlines into not checking their low-C-extension instruments, but more power to them. In my informal survey, I got to see lots of options for transporting these things. Plus, heard much awesome bass clarinet playing, in particular from multiphonic expert Sarah Watts and Barbara Haney.
Of course, at a festival like this with 6 events going on simultaneously every hour, the choices you make from the program to tend to influence your general takeway from the whole week. Since I'm me, and choose to go to many events with electronic components and/or longer clarinets, I had a specific sense of "wow, there's lots of people that play bass clarinet regularly now." At least, compared to what I've seen at more regional events in my northern New England driving. Which may not be the best comparison to an international festival, granted.
And it's also possible that those that choose a different path through the festival offerings would have a different impression – maybe that clarinet quartets are suddenly a big deal (I did hear some of the quartets, and was impressed by those as well – and, coincidentally, you do need a good bass player to get one of these quartets working well.)
It was pretty fun to play in the clarinet choir at the end of the week, especially to sit next to 6 other bass clarinets all playing together. Although it was 103° at the concert. This was taken at the dress rehearsal, before we were desperate for air conditioning.
Now, I get to practice for the SCI/Parma Festival in Portsmouth, NH, where I'll play a new-to-me bass clarinet and tape piece (by Martin Gendelman – my own piece on the festival doesn't have clarinet in it this time..) in two weeks. Got to make the slap tonguing slappier.


Shocking details of techniques used to inflict pain deliberately on children in privately run jails have been revealed for the first time in a government document obtained by the Observer.
"Use an inverted knuckle into the trainee's sternum and drive inward and upward."
"Continue to carry alternate elbow strikes to the young person's ribs until a release is achieved."
"Drive straight fingers into the young person's face, and then quickly drive the straightened fingers of the same hand downwards into the young person's groin area."
"state authorisation of institutionalised child abuse".
Published by the HM Prison Service in 2005 and classified as a restricted government document, the manual guides staff on what restraint and self-defence techniques are authorised for use on children as young as 12 in secure training centres. The centres are purpose-built facilities for young offenders up to the age of 17 and run by private firms under government contracts.
"temporary or permanent blindness caused by rupture to eyeball or detached retina".
The guidance, designed to cope with unruly children, also acknowledges that the measures could cause asphyxia.
"if breathing is compromised the situation ceases to be a restraint and becomes a medical emergency".
The campaign for publication began following the deaths of Gareth Myatt and Adam Rickwood.
Myatt, 15, died while being held down by three staff at Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre in Warwickshire. Myatt choked on his own vomit and died.
In the same year, 2004, 14-year-old Rickwood, from Burnley, hanged himself at the Hassockfield Secure Training Centre in County Durham. A judge ruled last year that the carers who restrained Rickwood shortly before his death had used unlawful force.
His mother, Carol Pounder, was said to be "relieved" that other parents would now know the truth behind the use of restraint.
"culture of obfuscation, secrecy and complacency - in which dangerous, unlawful and ultimately lethal practices continued unchecked".
Earlier this month the government was prepared to go to a tribunal to fight against the disclosure of the manual, despite the information commissioner ruling that the public interest was so grave the document should be released. The Ministry of Justice backed down and last week released the entire 119-page document. Previously, officials had even refused to give a copy to the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee.
"These shocking revelations graphically illustrate the cruel and degrading violence inflicted at times on children in custody. On occasions these restraint techniques have resulted in children suffering broken arms, noses, wrists and fingers. Painful restraint is a clear breach of children's human rights against some of the most vulnerable youngsters in society and does not have a place in decent society."
One former manager of a secure children's home with almost 20 years' experience said the revelations were "horrifying" and described the self-defence techniques as "child abuse".
"Nose distraction" techniques - sharp blows to the nose - have already been found by the Court of Appeal to have been routinely and unlawfully used in at least one centre.
"The guidance given in this state-authorised manual violates human rights because it allows staff to deliberately hurt children outside cases of life-threatening necessity."
During the 12 months up to March 2009, restraint was used 1,776 times in the UK's four secure training centres.
"It's time the whole country knows what is going on under their noses. This is just part of a brutal system, and we welcome the fact this is finally in the open."
"I have never seen the need to use pain-compliant techniques, and after 15 years my view has not changed. I have no truck with distraction techniques."
The document also describes the application of steel handcuffs: children are forced to "adopt a kneeling position" while a second staff member "takes control of the head" by grabbing the back of the neck while cupping the chin.
"The ritualistic humiliation of making children kneel down to get handcuffs on and off is truly sickening and a clear abuse of human rights. Techniques include holding a 'child's forehead to the floor with another hand on the back of the neck'."
"For young people under 18, the use of restraint is always a last resort. But where young people's behaviour puts themselves or others at serious risk, staff need to be able to intervene effectively, to protect the safety of all involved." The ministry added that the manual "is an aid for instructors" who train staff on the use of restraint techniques.

Fu architetto dell'Académie royale des Sciences, Belles-Lettres, et Beaux-Arts; vinse anche due premi dell'Accademia di Rouen nel 1776 e nel 1778. Tuttavia, dei suoi pochi edifici costruiti non ci è rimasto niente.

Fu invece particolarmente prolifico come disegnatore.
Poco dopo il 1780 lavorò in Italia come disegnatore di architetture fino alla Rivoluzione francese; in seguito come cartografo.
Dotato di una notevole fantasia che sfiora il nevrotico, la sua fama è legata a disegni, caratterizzati dalla rottura di ogni convenzione di simmetria, gusto, proporzione e purezza artistica, che si ispirano e enfatizzano i modelli visionari di Étienne-Louis Boullée e Claude-Nicolas Ledoux. Tra questi si ricordano: una latteria a forma di mucca, case composte con motivi gotici e classici, con profusione di simboli, soprattutto fallici, il monumento a Priapo e torri gigantesche.

At-risk students finish push-up challenge
Lisa Knodel, Contributing Writer
John Lazares students learn about PTSD.
LEBANON —
Students and staff at the John Lazares Alternative School improved their physical fitness while raising awareness about the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder.
They recently completed the 22 Day Pushup Challenge, a viral campaign designed to bring greater attention to suicide rates among veterans.
"Our school — just like any other school in our country — has the struggle of educating our students on mental health issues, as well as helping students who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues. PTSD and trauma are a major focus for our building," Principal Mike Bidwell said. "Many of our students struggle with trauma and the issues that come out of trauma, even if they are totally unaware of how a traumatic event is effecting them in the present day."
The push-up challenge was an ideal way to address trauma and raise awareness while also promoting fitness — another of the school's initiatives designed to eliminate barriers to success for the at-risk students.
"I didn't really understand what PTSD was, but doing the 22 Day Pushup Challenge has me thinking about how many of our veterans sacrificed so much and still are," said Travis Williams, a Carlisle senior. "I think about that every time I start doing my 22 push-ups. It's really hard to do that many push-ups, but I know for our veterans it was harder to serve our country."
Alternative school lead aide Ryan Cook presented the idea of issuing timed challenges to the students throughout the school year to help increase their physical fitness, as well as achieve new goals and success. His idea for the first challenge was to participate in the push-up challenge, measuring how many push-ups were completed at the beginning and end of the challenge.
"Many of our students are making positive wellness changes because of our program, but don't really understand that they are actually getting stronger," Cook said. "Based on the results of the challenge, I can see the students' self-esteem going up, because they are actually doing more push-ups. They can see themselves getting more fit."
All the students and staff who participated saw significant improvement with an overall average of 40 percent more pushups from start to finish.
"Now that we are learning about PTSD and its impact on veterans, it is really sad. I want to be someone that helps in whatever way I can. I've really been struggling to do the 22 push-ups, but I know it's nothing compared to what veterans struggling with PTSD do on a daily basis," said Aaronesha Moon, a tenth-grade student from Middletown.
"I didn't know what PTSD was, but I do now. I really think understanding it better has motivated me to be more understanding and thankful to our veterans. I hope they get the help they need," said Kaleb Simpkins, a senior from Little Miami High School.
The school also has groups led by counselors and social workers that focus on trauma.
"I believe that sometimes the best way to acknowledge and treat mental health issues is to realize that we are never alone. Our veterans are our true heroes and to know that even those who have sacrificed so much for our country are impacted by trauma takes some of the fear and isolation away from trauma," Bidwell said. "Educating our students on PTSD and its impact on our veterans has a twofold purpose of educating our students on the sacrifices our veterans made for our freedom, as well as showing our students that PTSD is very real and those who suffer from it are not alone."

Getting Ready for the Bay Area Solarthon with GRID Alternatives
Since 2012, we've been partnering with GRID Alternatives — the nation's largest nonprofit solar installer. For those of you who've never heard of them, they do great work helping low-income communities get a leg up through solar power. Through a combination of donations, corporate partnerships, and grants, GRID Alternatives brings affordable solar to thousands of homes each year, and helps train people in those communities for employment in the solar industry.
We've shared before why we are so proud to partner with GRID Alternatives: we are thrilled that our Enphase equipment contributes to helping people save over $197,000,000 in energy costs and preventing over 386,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions through 6,916 solar installations.
But we wanted to bring them up again because, on May 18th, we'll be attending the GRID Alternatives Solarthon event in Richmond, CA.
Please note: Unfortunately, Solarthon had to be cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions. Enphase volunteers participated instead, in a single home install in Santa Rosa on May 30th 2019.
Solarthon is a solar installation block party and fundraiser — volunteers join forces to install cost-reducing solar for a community that really needs the break. As GRID Alternatives describes it, the event includes "individual fundraisers, corporate sponsors, job trainees, community leaders and the homeowners themselves — to install solar electric systems for multiple low-income families in a single neighborhood." It's a fabulous way for GRID Alternatives to build up support for the work their doing, while at the same time getting the job done for a low-income community.
For the May 30th event, we'll see Enphase volunteers team up with GRID to install solar on a low-income home in Santa Rosa. And as a corporate partner, we're excited to see homes become equipped with Enphase microinverters.
We're gearing up for the event now — and after, we'll provide a recap right here to let you see firsthand what these amazing events are all about and just how special they are. So stay tuned!
And in the meantime: be sure to check out GRID Alternatives. If you are part of or know people in a low-income community that could benefit from the program, be sure to share this story.
(Blog Updated on 23rd May 2019)
Partnering for Good: Enphase and GRID Alternatives
Enphase is proud to partner with GRID Alternatives -- the nation's largest nonprofit solar installer -- to provide rooftop solar installations and hands-on job training to low-income communities.

How to Be a DM or GM Part 1: Choosing Your Game and Supplies
Daniel Van der Mallie
Hello! If you're reading this, you're most likely interested in becoming a GM (Game Master) or DM (Dungeon Master) of your very own roleplaying game. Perhaps you've been a player in a game and now you wish to take control, or maybe you're simply interested in becoming an interactive storyteller. Whatever your reason, this is the article for you!
I will introduce you to the basics of becoming a DM or GM, including picking a system and buying supplies, both necessary and supplemental. In later articles, I will introduce ways of finding players for your roleplaying game, as well as tips for designing campaigns and sessions for your players. So please, read on, enjoy, and I hope this article is of great use to you!
Types of Systems
The first step in becoming a DM or GM is choosing your system. This isn't as easy as it sounds when you're starting off with no prior knowledge of RPGs, however, when you've had previous experience, this is delightfully simple. Choosing a system is a major decision because it helps govern play, as well as how you have to write your story. When using systems like G.U.R.P.S. or Cortex, it's a bit easier to create your own custom world and rules, such as spells, races, and history, while games like Dungeons and Dragons have entire novels worth of backstory. Every system is unique, and I definitely can't list them all, but here's a small sample of systems to look into: Dungeons and Dragons, Cortex, G.U.R.P.S, World of Darkness, and Pathfinder.
I'll cover a few of my favorite systems in-depth, to give you a better understanding of the pros and cons of each system, which will hopefully give you the insight to judge other systems.
The Red Box
So many adventures in such a little box... | Source
Dungeons and Dragons (or D&D) is what started it all when it comes to mainstream roleplaying. It has made itself known in the media, movies, video games, and is the most well known roleplaying game out there. This is where most roleplayers start and it's where many choose to stay, preferring to stick with a system they know.
Dungeons and Dragons broken down:
D&D is a tried and true RPG, built with plenty of great minds, a large amount of funding, and plenty of history behind it. You really can't go wrong when picking up D&D as your chosen RPG to start DMing with. That being said, it might be a little too traditional for some, as it isn't anything new to them, and one of the best ways to catch a roleplayer's attention can be a new system.
Complete system, covering almost anything you can think up
Large variety of races and classes
Huge amount of backstory and pre-made campaigns
Sets the standard for RPGs
Uses the well-known d20 die quite extensively
Huge community of players
Each version offers something different, leaving something for everyone
Is the most well-known RPG on the market, and therefore won't garner much interest
The large backstory to things such as Gods and races may be well received, but might hinder customization
Each version offers something different, meaning re-learning a great deal of the system with each new version
In today's economy, one cannot disregard price when it comes to anything, even things as fun and immersing as a good roleplaying game. That being said, Dungeons and Dragons can either be one of the cheapest or one of the most expensive games on the market, with older, harder to find books costing an arm and a leg (not literally, of course...most of the time.) The easiest way to start with D&D is to buy the ever-popular "Red Box." The Red Box contains everything you need to get started except the players. In it are the basic rules for play (both for the Dungeon Master and the players), a single set of six dice (as opposed to the more common 7 dice sets available from Chessex), tokens, a battle map, character sheets, and more. It is reasonably cheap, ranging from $13.00 to $19.99 depending upon your area. However, the Red Box is only the basic game, not containing many of the elements of the full game. To get started with a full Dungeons and Dragons game, you're looking at minimally buying the Dungeon Master's Kit to the version you're wishing to play. With 4.0, the set costs about $27.00 on Amazon.com, but does not include dice. However, you can usually find the books rather cheap on places such as eBay, yard sales, Craigslist, or your local comic shop.
Cortex Corebook
With this, you can do anything. | Source
Cortex: Role Playing Game System
Cortex is my personal favorite roleplaying system, as it is easily bent to do whatever you need it to do. It began as a roleplaying system used for the licensed RPG Serenity, as well as Battlestar Galactica. Eventually it was used for other licensed RPGs such as the WB's Supernatural. With a list such as that, it had to be flexible, and that is the one word that describe Cortex to a T.
Cortex broken down:
It is a generally simple system, with easy-to-learn mechanics, both for the GM and the players. The corebook itself doesn't cover much in the way of story or races, due to it being a generic toolbox of rules for you to apply, but does offer all the ideas you might need to get started. The licensed books make great supplementary manuals, even if you're not fans of the particular series they belong to. Unfortunately, it is a little-known system, and thus some players may be reluctant to give it a shot, although every player I have had in the system has begged for more.
Players of games such as Fallout will find the character creation familiar and welcoming, while any GM that loves creating items and spells will love the system's ability to be molded into whatever is needed.
Another aspect to Cortex that is rather unique is the use of plot-points, or PP. Plot-points, which are awarded for playing up negative character traits, or playing their character particularly well, let the player change the scenery a bit, giving them a hand in the overall environment.
Complete flexibility for player and Game Master created content
Easy-to-learn game mechanics
Easy-to-read character sheets
Uses all dice other than the d20, with a focus on the d12
Incredibly active online community
Cheaply priced for what you get
Similar to most roleplaying video games
Comes with a free downloadable .pdf copy with purchase (great if you have a laptop, Kindle, or Nook)
Unique Plot-point system
Corebook isn't as large as it could be
Supplementary books are usually from a licensed series
Usually requires each player to have at least two sets of dice
Plot-point system requires a bit of metagaming
Cortex is generally decently priced, running between $20-30.00 depending upon where you find it. Many online RPG sites carry .pdf copies, while if you buy a solid copy you get a code that is redeemable for a .pdf, which is a great value. The licensed books can be used in place of the core manual, though they don't offer as much customization, and they aren't even needed for normal play. You will find, however, that dice might be a little pricier than with D&D, as it is nice to have multiple sets.

Marvel: Heroic Roleplaying
Marvel: Heroic Roleplaying is a system I've just recently started playing due to it being so new. It's a licensed release from Margaret Weis Productions, the same producers of Cortex. In fact, M:HR runs off the new Cortex+ system. It has several supplementary books already lined up, and is perfect for any comic-reader-turned-gamer.
Marvel: Heroic Roleplaying broken down:
M:HR is all about the storytelling and action. With it running off the Cortex+ system, it is as simple as you can get without it being built for children. Gameplay is very action-packed, with the players' ability to narrate increasing their character's abilities. Unfortunately, it isn't much of a dungeon crawler, so roleplayers searching for an intense RPG experience focusing on loot and monster slaying may be very disappointed. Players will also find miniatures almost pointless within the system, due to the extreme nature of the characters and their abilities. It is, however, easy to pick up and absolutely perfect if players want to switch characters, as the Basic Game manual has plenty of Marvel's finest heroes ready to use.
The system has one extremely unique aspect: The Doom Pool. With the Doom Pool, players' bad rolls will later harm them, essentially turning the GM (or Watcher, in M:HR) into another, more powerful player.
Easy to pick up and start playing
Rules completely covered in the Basic Game manual
Plenty of heroes ready to use
Cheaply priced to start, with the majority of the books being cheaper than most RPG books
Fast-paced, with there always being a moment of action
Greater scale, as characters confront world-sized events, instead of simply trekking dungeons
The ability to design your own hero
Gameplay may become routine and boring after awhile
Sometimes a little too simple
Limited character creation
Campaigns are a bit harder to create, due to the scale
Requires a decent bit of ad-libbing
Requires an immense amount of dice to play, with most players needing at least three sets
The first manual, Marvel: Heroic Roleplaying Basic Game is incredibly cheap, being priced only about $14.00. The second book, Marvel: Heroic Roleplaying Civil War Event Essentials, is a bit pricier at about $24.00, but my advice is to pickup the Marvel: Heroic Roleplaying Civil War Book Premium. It costs about $29.00, but it comes with both the first manual (Basic Game) and the Civil War Event. The dice will be a bit pricier, due to needing so many sets.
As a DM or GM you'll always want to make your campaigns better. Whether that means the use of miniature figures, a new set of dungeon tiles, or perhaps even music, it usually costs money. Here are some ideas of things you may or may not want to invest in. I will say though, dice are required.
Dice. Dice vary in price and brand, but most roleplayers use one brand: Chessex. Chessex offers the traditional 7-die package for about $6.50. That'll give you seven dice of a matching set. (If you're wondering, the dice in that are a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d100, and d20.) Now, as you'll be using a lot more dice as a DM or GM, I'd suggest getting a Pound Of Dice from Chessex. It is literally a pound of random dice with at least one matching set guaranteed. The price varies between $19.99 to $24.00 depending upon where you buy them.
Mats. Chessex offers a reusable, washable mat perfect for drawing up dungeons for miniature use. The price is usually about $14.99, though I have seen it run for $29.99 before. It is an absolute must if you use miniatures. Also, on that note...
Miniatures. Mini-figures can cost you an arm and a leg if you're not careful. I've seen the price go as high as $12.00 a figure, and they can go for much more. My best advice is either learn to make your own, or re-purpose figures from games like Warhammer 40K, Mageknight, or Hero Clix.
There are many more accessories, but I certainly can't list them all. If you have any questions, feel free to either comment!

I remember Gygax's name on the onarigil D&D books I pored over as a kid. I came across him again several years later when he started his On a Soapbox column in Dragon Magazine which for some reason my school library subscribed to.While it's true that his work spawned roleplaying games in the modern sense, I do feel he was later surpassed by the subsequent writers and designers. So, while Gygax was a clear pioneer in RPG's, his biggest legacy will be the countless modern gamers his work inspired.
Arturo Origel
For "beginners" is usually better choice the light-rules systems like BRP, Savage worlds, fate, etc. Others gamers like better the crunchy systems like GURPS, HERO, JAGS (this is free)...personally I was a GURPShead but since I've read EABA 2.0 I turn into an EABA GM and never look back again, almost all the system is pure genius (including the scalating turn-mods, even when I was skeptical at first). Cheers.


Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola claimed that his side were not ready to compete in the Champions League this season, despite being widely acclaimed as the best side in Europe.
But the former Barcelona boss, who won two Champions League titles in Catalonia, insists that the Sky Blues are in a better position to compete for Europe's elite trophy next year.
City cruised to the Premier League title this season and a winning run until the end of the campaign will see the champions break the 100 point barrier.
Guardiola has acknowledged that not winning the Champions League is seen as a failure for some people, but the 47-year-old reiterated that City weren't in a position to compete for all the silverware that was on offer.
"Next time we will try to win it," Guardiola said ahead of their match against Huddersfield on Sunday - quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
"But it's no different to the other managers. I know people say it's a big disaster when we don't win the Champions League and I have to accept that. They are different competitions and the Premier League is about consistency."
"We are happy to be champions of the Premier League."
"I said many times we were not ready to win all the titles, but we made a step forward compared to last season."
"Next season we will be back. Next season we will try again. Always sport gives you a second chance and next season we will have another one.
"But of course, I maintain my opinion that consistency is the most important thing and in the Premier League, we were the best."
Guardiola's high flying City side has just three games left this season to further its tally over Manchester United, who remain in second place on 77 points following their defeat at Brighton on Friday.

This Place In JP Nagar Serves Stuffed Kulchas Dripping With Butter Alongside Chole And Lassi
Shrinag
There are many restaurants and hotels in Bengaluru that offers an appealing variety of North Indian dishes. But many of you might not have tried cuisine from the land of Punjab.
The delicious stuffed Kulchas dripping with butter alongside Chole and lassi is an authentic Punjabi meal of Amritsar which is a must-try. Amritsari Kulcha land is a restaurant located in JP Nagar that offers a variety of preparations, all the way from Amritsar cuisines at pocket-friendly prices.
What's in the Menu?
All they serve here are different varieties of kulchas. The menu includes Aloo Kulcha, Gobi Kulcha, Mix Kulcha, Paneer Kulcha and etc. Kulchas will be served with Chole and Chutney followed by a glass of Lassi. They have their very special Amritsari Aloo Kulcha, where the layers in the Kulcha is stuffed with potato with a very low glitter ajwain and a desi butter on the top of it which enhances the flavor and makes you go crazy.
What's Special here?
Soya chap, a dish loaded with spices and masala is a real outburst of flavors just perfect to enjoy with a Kulcha and chole. In this dish, soya chunks are marinated with spices, red chilies and thick yogurt making it mock as vegetarian meat. If you have never ever tried soya chaap masala before, then you should surely go for it.
Ajmeri paneer tikka, a new and unique dish with an authentic ajwain punch is prepared from marinating paneer chunks with spices and yogurt;grilled in a tandoor or tawa. It is an adapted recipe from the popular chicken tikka recipe for non-meat eaters or paneer lovers.
The ambiance is average, as the restaurant is located right next to the main road. Moreover, this place gets very crowdy in the evening. The place is open to the street and has a basic seating arrangement.
It is one of the best-recommended restaurants in the area and manages to attract family, as the place offers Pind Da Khana all the way from Amritsar.
Timings: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM , 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
Where: 123, Opp. Royal High School, 24th Main Road, 5th Phase, JP Nagar, Bengaluru

If you're an Apple user and still unaware of the latest iOS update that Apple never mentioned in public before its release, now's the time to get it installed, since the said update should address the unknown security issue present in your device.
According to the patch note, the previous iOS versions were lacking the key SSL validation that kept Secure Transport from validating authentic connections – making your device vulnerable for attackers with a more privileged network position and allowing them to capture or modify data in your sessions protected by SSL/TLS.
Not only that, this security flaw seems to be affecting OS X devices as well. Crowdstrike, a security firm, confirmed that both of Apple's platforms were unable to go in between the attacks through their analysis of the latest iOS update. This issue brings the conclusion that Apple will be pushing for a fix in OS X too, but for now, what they can only recommend to the users is to avoid connecting to any untrusted networks.
