Q. I've seen web sites all over the place with tips and tricks on how to customize your Mac. But all of this stuff looks too confusing. What should I do to personalize my computer without confusing myself or destroying my computer?
A. There are many sites out there, such as ResExcellence, that shows you how to customize your Mac. But sites like these appear very confusing because they only give you instructions "customizing gurus" can understand.
You don't need to be a guru to personalize your computer.
First, one of the basic things you can always do is the desktop picture. MacDesktops is my favorite site for getting desktops, since you can pretty much find anything you're looking for.
Another easy customization solution is Kaleidoscope. This program will drastically change the look of your entire computer. It customizes the look of your menu bars, tool bars, menus, cursor, and many other aspects. And the best part of this little wonder program is it has thousands off "themes" which you can install to change the look of your computer.
Another non-dangerous fix you can try is switching icons around. Changing icons is as easy as selecting the icon you want, copying it to the clipboard, choosing Get Info, and pasting the new icon over the old one. The hardest part is finding the right icons for you. There are many sites you can go to to get icons. Some of my favorites are Iconfactory and Epoch Icons. There are tons of other Mac Icon places.
There are many other solutions to your ugly looking plain desktop, but most of them require a program called ResEdit. This program allows you to physically edit the insides of a program to make it more customized. However, this application is the easiest way to mess up your computer in a major way. So the best idea is to stay away from this program unless you know what you're doing.
In the end, customizing your computer can be fun and enjoyable. Also, many sites have competitions for most customized desktop. Check out this screen shot to see how truly customized a desktop can be. It's my desktop.

from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function

from .regex import RegexDispatcher

__all__ = 'resource'

resource = RegexDispatcher('resource')

@resource.register('.*', priority=1)
def resource_all(uri, *args, **kwargs):
    """ Refer to data by strings

    Translate a string pointing to data into a Python object pointing to that
    data.

    Filenames for common formats are valid URIs

    >>> resource('myfile.csv')  # doctest: +SKIP
    <odo.CSV ...>

    Database connection strings may embed connection information

    >>> resource('postgresql://user:pass@hostname/db::tablename')  # doctest: +SKIP
    Table('tablename', MetaData(bind=Engine(postgres://...  ... )))

    When possible ``resource`` returns an object from another popular library.
    In the case above ``resource`` gives you a ``sqlalchemy.Table`` object.

    What kinds of strings does resource support?
    --------------------------------------------

    Filenames with common formats as well as collections of those files

        myfile.csv - CSV files
        myfile.txt - Text files
        myfile.json - JSON and line-delimited JSON
        myfile.*.csv - Collections of files

    Some files, like HDF5 files or sqlite files, require a second piece of
    information, like a datapath or tablename.  We use the separator ``::`` in
    these cases.

        myfile.hdf5::/data/path
        sqlite://myfile.db::tablename

    Many systems use protocols like ``sqlite://`` to specify additional
    information.  We also use these to disambiguate when one file format, like
    HDF5, might have several possible internal formats, like standard HDF5 or
    Pandas' HDFStore

        myfile.hdf5::/data/path
        hdfstore://myfile.hdf5::/data/path

    or JSON vs JSON-lines

        json://myfile.json
        jsonlines://myfile.json

    These strings are defined as regular expressions.  See ``resource.funcs``
    to see what your installation currently supports.

    >>> resource.funcs  # doctest: +SKIP
    {'.+\.csv)(\.gz|\.bz)?': <function odo.backends.csv.resource_csv>,
     '.+\.json)(\.gz|\.bz)?': <function odo.backends.json.resource_json>,
     '\w+sql\s+://.+': <function odo.backends.sql.resource_sql>,
     ...}

    Relation with ``odo``
    ----------------------

    The main ``odo`` function uses ``resource`` to resolve string URIs.

    The following call:

    >>> odo('some-sorce', target)  # doctest: +SKIP

    is shorthand for the following:

    >>> odo(resource('some-sorce'), target)  # doctest: +SKIP

    Create datasets with resource
    -----------------------------

    Resource can also create new datasets by provding a datashape

    >>> resource('myfile.hdf5::/data', dshape='1000 * 1000 * float32')  # doctest: +SKIP
    <HDF5 dataset "data": shape (1000, 1000), type "<f4">

    To learn more about datashapes see the function ``discover``

These look awesome. Do you have a link to the reciepe or could you give amounts for the garlic and dill. My DIL is allergic to sugar so making these without sugar would be perfect for her. What king of vinegar did you use? I love reading your blog. Im a Pastors wife so relate to your past. We have 5 kids and have done foster care so a lot in common. God bless.
Thank you. We do have a lot in common!
I put 1 piece of garlic in each little jar. I probably would put more than one in if the jar was bigger. I used 1/2 pints yesterday. I put 1 teaspoon of dill seed in each little jar, the recipe calls for 2 teaspoons per pint. I used white vinegar. My regular pickle recipe uses apple cider vinegar, though, so I'm sure that would work, too.
It was very funny when I looked it up and the post of the day was about zucchini and the first thing she says is that she doesn't think it's worth bothering to preserve zucchini:). Still, I'm glad I found a way to preserve mine, and there was clearly a time when she felt the same, as she wrote a book with a zucchini pickle recipe in it!
The author states that any dill pickle recipe will work for zucchini. The following recipe from the National Center for Home Food Preservation uses whole dills, though, and I sliced the zucchini up to make dill chips, as directed.
Here's a dill pickle recipe from the National Center for Food Preservation that seems similar to what I did: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/quick_dill_pickles.html I never put sugar into my dill pickles, though, and this recipe has some in it. I would leave it out. I just don't enjoy dills with sugar in them. That website is very helpful to me, many times. I've made berry syrup from there, and a few other things. It has the processing times for about every item I want to can. I also use brochures from the OSU Extension office that I've had for years. I'm sure many states have an Extension office connected with it's university, or you can look on line for the recipes, too.
Good luck finding the perfect pickle recipe for you!
Thanks!! I"m so glad they turned out so yummy!! Now I've got to catch mine in that small size.
I was glad to fend off large zucchini. This is the method to take care of that problem. I mean…..35 in one week!!! Got to keep picking them small.
These sound great. If I get a lot of squash I will have to try them.
Your zucchini pickles look great! I think they would make some awesome Christmas gifts!

Writing and the Creative Life: "Believing is seeing"
A twist on the old saying, "Seeing is believing."
As writers, we do everything we can to enable our characters to come to life. Whether it's questionnaires, biographies, interviews, monologues, anything we can do to engage our characters and immerse ourselves in their lives can help us eventually to hear their voices… and have them lead us into and through the story.
In this regard, we can invert the old saying "seeing is believing" to "believing is seeing." That is, if we believe our characters exist in their own unique story universe, then we can eventually see them.
I'm reminded of an observation made by the French author Jules Renard:
"The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it."
This belief can be the foundation of everything else involved in the process of creating a story.
The story universe exists.
The characters exists.
Their personal histories exist.
Their interpersonal relationships exist.
Their intrapersonal dynamics exist.
So there is believing all of that narrative content exists. But there is another aspect to belief in the act of writing.
I happened upon a story the other day at the excellent site Creative Something hosted by Tanner Christensen (@tannerc). It speaks precisely to this point:
Some years ago Sir Ken Robinson, the author and creative advocate, once told a story of a six year-old girl in school.
The girl was sitting in the back of the classroom drawing when the teacher walked back to her and asked "What are you drawing?" The girl said "I'm drawing a picture of God." To which the teacher laughed a little and replied: "But nobody knows what God looks like." And the little girl said "They will in a minute."
The little girl not only had a belief that God existed. She also believed she could convey her vision of God to others.
Whenever we take on the crafting of a story, we would do well to believe the story exists… its universe, its characters, it entirety.
We would also do well to believe we can bring that story to life in this world.
Seeing is believing? When we write, it's more like this…
Writing and the Creative Life is a weekly series in which we explore creativity from the practical to the psychological, the latest in brain science to a spiritual take on the subject. Hopefully the more we understand about our creative self, the better we will become as writers. If you have any good reading material in this vein, please post in comments. If you have a particular observation you think readers will benefit from and you would like to explore in a guest post, email me.

Chinese New Year Food and Their Meanings
Written by Wariya Intreyonk | February 1, 2022
PrevPrevious ArticleTony's Launches Pizza For Charity in Bangkok
Next Article Don't Know Where To Go Valentine's Day? Here Is The Valentine's Menu Line-Up!Next
Chinese New Year is here and of course, as with every celebration, it involves food… lots and lots of food!!
Many countries with Chinese influence start their new calendar according to the lunisolar calendar, so it's not the same date every year. In 2022, the celebration begins on the 1st of February and will last for three days.
One of the world's most popular cuisines is Chinese and what people eat during the festival is very important. According to Taoism, the country's primary belief, the food they eat will determine their fortune that year.
Each food has its meaning, and here is a short guide to what each one means for you:
Side Dishes (According to Asian eating culture)
This sea creature is considered a rare delicacy and can be rather expensive. Back in the day, Abalone was food for Chinese emperors and aristocrats. Because of its association with the people of the ruling class, the ingredient became the symbol of wealth.
Meaning: Wealthy
Dishes: Braised Abalone and Steamed Abalone with Tangerine Peel
The chicken crows when the sun rises, making it the symbol of a hard worker in many cultures, including Chinese culture. Common and affordable, this is a few popular dish this time of year.
Meaning: Getting Promoted
Dishes: Chinese Drunken Chicken and Boiled Chicken
Another poultry in this list, duck, is a slightly less common ingredient than chicken; however, duck became a staple on Chinese New Year during the reign of the Yuan Dynasty through Peking Duck. This dish used to be a medicinal dish to cleanse the body.
Meaning: Purity
Dish: Peking Duck
The word fish in Chinese, both in Mandarin and Cantonese pronounce yu, which sounds similar to the surplus or extra in Chinese. It is often used to bless people for extra fortune.
Meaning: Surplus or extra
Dish: Soy Sauce Steamed Fish
Pig/Pork
The pig symbolises wealth and strength in Chinese culture due to its physical appearance. In Chinese New Year, they roast a whole teenage pig for the feast.
Meaning: Wealth and strength
Dish: Roasted Pig
Red king crab is also an expensive ingredient. Red king crab has to be preserved with care after catching. The red king crabs live in cold water, so if the crab body temperature changes, the meat won't be the best quality.
Meaning: Having an excellent career
Dishes: Chinese Steamed Egg with Red King Crab Meat and Red King Crab Soup
Nian Gao
Some people may be familiar with the sentence "Nian Nian Gao Sheng", which means "Wishing you in advance toward higher positions and prosperity step by step." The "Nian Gao " in the middle of that sentence puns with the Chinese dessert Nian Gao, making it the Chinese New Year staple.
Meaning: Blessing for higher positions and prosperity
Dish: Chinese Sticky Rice Cake
Shoutao

The New York Yankees, fandom, and the ghosts of the past
Or, what we talk about when we talk about the Yankees.
By Jesse Dorey Jul 4, 2022, 11:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: The New York Yankees, fandom, and the ghosts of the past
On July 4, 1939, more than 60,000 fans packed into Yankee Stadium on a hot summer day for a doubleheader between the Yankees and the Washington Senators. The Yankees dropped the first game 3-2, but roared back to win the second game 11-1. The doubleheader wasn't the real reason that many people were there that day, though.
Just over two weeks earlier, on June 19, Lou Gehrig was formally diagnosed with ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that is now colloquially known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. His diagnosis was revealed to the public that same day, and just two days later, on June 21, the New York Yankees formally announced the Iron Horse's retirement from the game.
Between games on July 4, a microphone was carefully positioned at home plate and players from both teams surrounded the area. With a little help from the crowd, an emotional Lou Gehrig, donning the pinstripes with his cap by his side, stepped up to the microphone to address all in attendance. What followed is the stuff of legends.
"For the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
-Lou Gehrig
For readers of a certain age, the mention of July 4, 1939 likely gave away what I was going to talk about in the paragraphs that followed. For others, likely those closer in age to me, you probably clued in when Gehrig's diagnosis was brought up. Perhaps it was the image of the solitary microphone at home plate that did it for others, or perhaps it took until the inclusion of the now-infamous quotation — "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth" — for you to understand what this was about. Either way, I think it's a safe assumption that most Yankees fans know about Lou Gehrig's farewell remarks.
Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day was held 83 years ago to the day. Though our record of his speech is technically incomplete — supposedly there were only four lines of the speech that were recorded, and the rest of it was pieced together through reports from various newspapers — this moment in time has become something of legend, if not common knowledge, for most Yankees fans, regardless of their age or location.
I was born in Canada on July 3, 1992. For all intents and purposes, I was born 53 years after Lou Gehrig delivered what is arguably the most famous speech in professional sports history, and probably one of the most famous speeches of all-time. Despite never having had the privilege of watching Lou Gehrig play, I feel like, by virtue of our own weird form of myth-making, I know his career on an intimate level. More than just his career, though, I feel like I know his story on an intimate level. I honestly cannot say that I remember the first time I heard the Luckiest Man in the World speech, but I've been able to rhyme off three or four lines of it at will for as long as I can remember, and I'm positive you know exactly what lines I'm referring to.
The same goes for Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and all the rest of the Yankees legends that made their marks well before my time. Even before I had the opportunity to fully comprehend the game of baseball itself, I knew about Gehrig's seeming inability to get hurt and Mantle's tape-measure home runs and DiMaggio's hit streak and Ruth's, well, everything. I never got to see a single one of these players play, but I know their stories more intricately than any box score could tell me.
As a kid of the '90s, the Yankees I grew up with were the Core Four (+ Bernie). The Yankees I grew up with were not the larger-than-life personalities of the 1920s and 1930s, but were still giants among men. The Yankees I grew up with were talked about amongst the very best baseball teams to ever step foot on the diamond. The Yankees I grew up with are counted among the greatest professional sports dynasties of all-time, regardless of sport.
I can't help but wonder, though: For younger Yankees fans, coming of age with Aaron Judge & Co., are Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera now the stuff of legend? Have we mythologized their careers to the point that their stories are now passed down to the younger generations, similar to the ways in which the stories of Ruth, Mantle, DiMaggio, and Gehrig were passed down to us?
This is what I'm trying to get at here. As Yankees fans, we, perhaps more than any other professional sports team out there, are burdened by our shared histories and collective memories. Actually, you know what, maybe "burden" is the wrong word to use here, because it can sometimes imply a negative connotation where one does not exist. Let me try that again.
As Yankees fans, we, perhaps more than any other professional sports team out there, are privileged enough to be living witnesses to some of the greatest athletic feats in the history of professional sports. These collective memories, whether they're the careers of Ruth and Gehrig or Jeter and Rivera, and the narratives we've created over the years to make sense of their superhuman qualities are so intricate to this team's identity that people like me, who were born 53 years after Lou Gehrig's final public appearance in pinstripes, are still able to feel an intimate connection to their lives and their careers. I'm not sure how many other fans get to claim that in earnest.

Search Plays Big Role in Online Health
August 6, 2009Tweet
Americans who look for for health and medical information online turn to search engines two-thirds of the time when they are seeking answers, indicating that internet search is an increasingly important factor in Americans' treatment decision process, according to a study by Manhattan Research.
The study, "Pharmaceutical Search Engine Marketing: Leveraging Online Health Searching to Fulfill Brand Goals," found that as paid search programs have come under fire in recent months, search has taken center stage once again as marketers scramble to adapt to new FDA regulations.
Manhattan Research suggests that successful pharmaceutical search campaigns can play an important role in leading valuable target customers from the research stage to becoming product users. Consumers who visit product sites are nearly three times more likely than the averageUS adult to request prescriptions by name from their doctors. Increasing search engine visibility can help brands to reach consumers actively seeking health information and to effectively insert themselves into the patient-physician treatment discussions.
Major findings from the study:
Approximately two-thirds of ePharma Consumers think they can tell if a medical site is from a credible source prior to clicking on the search result, indicating that consumers feel that they are proficient searchers and are able to parse out relevant content for themselves.
More US adults use the internet than they use doctors for obtaining health and medical information.
Consumers are much more likely to begin their quest for health information with a search engine rather going directly to a website.
Consumers who visit product sites are nearly three times more likely than the average US adult to request prescriptions by name from their doctors.
When consumers use search engines for pharmaceutical or health information online, they are most likely to search by the name of a specific condition/disease or the name of a specific product.
The most common situation for which they use a search engine for this purpose is when they have symptoms for a condition.
"Mastering search engine marketing is critical for brands looking to take advantage of consumers' increasing reliance on the Internet to figure out and manage their health issues," said Monique Levy, author of the report and senior director of research at Manhattan Research. "The trouble is, mastering search is not as straightforward as it seems, especially with murky FDA guidelines and increasingly complex digital assets such as mobile and video."
About the research: The report is part of Manhattan Research's ePharma Consumer market research and strategic advisory service. In addition to the use of search engines for health and pharma information, the report covers the impact of social networking/Web 2.0 and tracks consumer interaction with more than 250 branded and unbranded pharmaceutical sites, including in-depth data on the effect of DTC advertising, visitation, site search rationales, desired site tools and features, and actions taken off-site. ePharma Consumer v8.0 was conducted via online survey in Q408 among 6,566 adults (ages 18+).


This article profiles the Gateway Institute for Pre-College Education, a program that helps low-income and minority high school students enter careers in science, medicine and technology. The program, based in New York City and recently expanded to Boston, aims to increase the number of minority and low-income individuals in medical and scientific careers.
Eighty percent of students enrolled in the Gateway program graduate from college, and 10 percent become physicians.
Students enroll in the Gateway program in 9th grade. The institute has an 11-month school year, small classes, and a lengthened school day. It also places students in summer internships at research institutes and universities.
The Gateway program is supported by numerous private sector supporters, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, as well as the city of New York and the city of Boston.
By increasing the number of low-income and minority students who pursue careers in medicine, the Gateway Institute for Pre-College Education may eventually help increase the number of doctors in underserved regions.

County recovers large portion of loss due to cybercrime
San Juan Record Classifieds, Events, Businesses In Monticello, San Juan County, Utah
Sep 06, 2016 | 8227 views | 0 | 285 | |
San Juan County has recovered $43,597.73 from a bank in New Jersey and hopes to recover at least $3,000 more. The funds were deposited into county bank accounts last week as the investigation continues into a cybercrime in which $48,620 was wired from San Juan County to a man posing as a county consultant.
The "Spear Phishing" scam was a targeted e-mail scam which was sent to several county treasurers. In Utah, San Juan County and Emery County wired funds to the scammers, who were posing as consultants to county commissioners.
The Emery County funds were wired to a bank in Florida. It is not known at the press deadline if any of the Emery County funds have been recovered.
Investigators from the State of Utah and the State of Texas are involved in the investigation, which is ongoing.
In addition, the Utah State Auditor complete an investigation into the financial controls of the county.
The funds originally had been deposited in June, 2016 into an account at JP Morgan / Chase Bank in a wire transfer from San Juan County Treasurer Glenis Pearson. Pearson almost immediately became suspicious and notified authorities soon after approving the wire transfer.
When the bank was notified, the majority of the funds were still in the initial account and were eventually returned to the county within a 90-day period. Another $3,000, which had been transferred to another account held by the same account owner, may also be returned.
If the $3,000 is returned, the total loss to the county will be approximately $2,000.
On June 15, 2016, San Juan County Treasurer Glenis Pearson received an email message, apparently from Commissioner Phil Lyman, asking Pearson to wire funds to a consultant who had helped the county.
The message appeared to be from Lyman's email account and Pearson responded to the email with several questions, which were answered to her satisfaction.
The County Treasurer wired $48,620 to the bank in East Orange, NJ.
Pearson said that her initial suspicions became more pronounced when she continued to receive e-mails from the address asking her to send funds to a foreign bank.
Pearson said she notified authorities within an hour of wiring the funds.

Flying in after a 24 hour trip, to a full moon over the Mediterranean. I recall how to say "15 thousand," the figure I will barter for a taxi ride to Hamra. The plane passes over Cyprus on the descent. I can see the eastern coastline and it's like a map unfolding. I spot the areas lined with hotels = lights. We were there! In fact, we avoided those areas.
As we land in Beirut, the passengers clap. It is 27° C (81° F) at 10:30 pm.
As my taxi arrives, the familiar attendants at the hotel across the street recognize and greet meet me. Tomorrow I will give them almond rocas "from America". From "my city".
Within minutes of arriving in the apartment (found the key!), having shed my shoes, I note that the bottoms of my feet are black. I pass my hand over a counter top. In fact, all surfaces of the apartment are black! Soot from the diesel-run generators that fire up 2 or 3 times a day for hours, when the electric power is cut. What do our lungs look like?
Four sets of keys in my purse—Cousin Linda's in Ballard, Grimstads' in Tacoma, ours in Washington and Beirut. Um, I think this is Tuesday—where are we sleeping tonight?
It's a dream, being in America, going from dear old friend to dear old friend, sandwiched in between various familiar, missed relatives. Seeing old haunts as strange yet comfortable. Petting the soft grass of lawns because it is, well, GREEN. Salmon and more salmon—YUM! Corn on the cob. King crab. Mt Rainier!! Soft and flushable TP. Blue eyes. Foxglove. Miracles of roads, including stop signs, crosswalks, demarcated lanes and compulsory seat belt use. (I saw more signage form airplan landing to I-5 than all year in Lebanon). Talking, talking, talking, hearing and sharing news. I hadn't realized how many of our friends are teachers—so nice as most are off for the summer and we can visit in the day time.
TVs in grocery stores showing commercials and quick fix meal ideas, and disembodied voices at street corners counting down second available in which to cross the street.

Sexiest Ladies In Politics, that are they?
Being a politician could be a tough task. In the end, you work away looking to get assistance and operate lengthy strategies that successful. State or authorities can be very challenging even though you do get, managing a town. You've to direct large amounts of income to divisions and numerous tasks, attempt to be friends with other politicians, keep things healthy and keep a squeaky-clear picture for the general public. Error or the smallest slip will certainly attract media interest and at its end all, regardless of how well you've completed, there'll continually be a sizable number of the populace who don't as if you. Is it worthwhile?
Whenever we think about politicians it's normal to instantly think about some old man in a match having a briefcase, Lego hair as well as a plastic look. The truth can be different depending your geographical area. In several places, girls today constitute a growing percentage of the political staff. As you'll notice from the following instances, several of those politicians don't seem like your standard match-carrying bureaucrat. These girls are certain to change some brains on the ground of the legislatures since they're the hottest ladies in politics.


TARTAN FAN: Usain Bolt and his Jamaica team-mates wear tartan after success in the 4 x 100m relay at Hampden this summer.
THE designer behind the Tam O'Shanter hats and tartan scarves which captured the imagination of Usain Bolt and other Jamaican sprinters at the Commonwealth Games is looking at ways to ramp up manufacturing to keep pace with demand.
John Burleigh has been hand cutting his Burns Bunnets, which retail for around £50, since 2008 and steadily building up order numbers through word of mouth.
But he has seen a huge surge of interest from home and abroad since the garments were donned by Bolt, the most recognisable athlete in the world, during his lap of honour following the Jamaica squad's victory at the 4 x 100m sprint relay at Hampden.
Mr Burleigh said: "When I got the papers the following morning and saw Bolt with the bunnet on the front pages I just thought 'pinch me'."
Now Mr Burleigh, a former technical-studies schoolteacher, is looking into teaming up with the Inverclyde Community Development Trust to employ machinists, which would allow him to produce more of the clothing.
Meetings have already taken place with trust chief executive Jim Bristow and there has been an initial cutting trial at facilities in Port Glasgow.
The trust said: "Inverclyde Community Development Trust are currently exploring the possibility of employing one or two machinists to work at our business and training centre in Port Glasgow producing Burns Bunnets as part of our social enterprises.
"The trust's social-enterprise programme provides training and employment opportunities for people returning to work.
"We are very excited about developing this new project which we hope will tap into a rich tradition of textile manufacture here in Port Glasgow Industrial Estate which was, at one time, the home of Playtex, employing hundreds of local people."
Mr Burleigh admits he is keen to make sure production stays in Scotland.
And he wants to keep the bunnets positioned towards the quality end of the market.
He said: "The interest through the website has been much greater since the Commonwealth Games."
Alongside that, Mr Burleigh has been talking to Business Gateway about possibly accessing some marketing support - and there have been expressions of interest from retail businesses which stock Scottish-themed merchandise.
Some of those discussions may also see the bunnets stocked in Mr Burleigh's home town of Greenock as local firms try to capitalise on the growing numbers of cruise ships passing through the port.
Mr Burleigh said: "I want the bunnets to be made in Scotland.
"I would love them to be made in Greenock and create some employment here."
Mr Burleigh buys his materials for the bunnets from Scottish-based tartan-cloth suppliers such as Ingles Buchan, Lochcarron and House of Edgar.

What Can You Take Every Day to Relieve Constipation?
Written by Erica Kannall; Updated December 27, 2018
1 Fiber Supplements & the Regularity of Bowel Movements
2 Can You Take Fiber Supplements to Soften Your Stool?
3 High Fiber & Frequent Bowel Movements
4 How Much Fiber Is in a Prune?
If you have less than three bowel movements a week and your stools are hard and difficult to pass, you suffer from constipation, according to Medline Plus. Chronic constipation is uncomfortable and unhealthy, but with a few dietary changes and regular physical activity, you can experience constipation relief. If you see no change or improvement in bowel movements or have sudden abdominal cramping, call your health care provider immediately.
Many people become constipated as a result of mild or severe dehydration. Without enough water, your stool becomes dry and hard and moves through your colon too slowly. As a result, it's more difficult to pass and you may strain to have a bowel movement. MedlinePlus suggests drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day to keep bowel movements soft and moving through your digestive tract. Water is essential to your health and may alone provide constipation relief.
Another cause for constipation is a lack of fiber in your diet. Without fiber, there isn't enough bulk in your digestive tract to keep the stool moving. You need anywhere from 20 to 35 grams of fiber per day and can get it by eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Soluble fibers, such as those found in apples and oatmeal, may be particularly helpful. MayoClinic.com suggests gradually increasing fiber intake to prevent gas and bloating.
If you are unable to meet your fiber needs through diet alone, try adding a fiber supplement. Most fiber supplements are flavored powder that you mix with water and drink. Psyllium husk, a good source of soluble fiber, is usually the primary ingredient. According to an article published in the "Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology," long-term use of fiber supplements is a safe and effective treatment for constipation. However, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, as added fiber without fluid may worsen constipation.
Dried plums, also known as prunes, are a common remedy for constipation. Prunes contain fiber and sorbitol, a sugar alcohol, which may be responsible for its effectiveness. A study published in 2011 in the journal "Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics" looked at the impact of prunes on people with chronic constipation who ate 50 grams, or about 2 ounces, per day. At the end of three weeks, participants had more spontaneous bowel movements and softer stool. Researchers noted eating prunes daily is safe, so it should be considered as the first treatment option for people suffering with uncomfortable constipation.

Review Request #2996 - Created Nov. 5, 2013 and updated Nov. 21, 2013, 8:15 a.m.
When using realtime SIP peers as queue members, the device state as returned by sip_devicestate() is AST_DEVICE_UNAVAILABLE when the peer is not loaded into memory.
For uncached realtime SIP peers, this is practically always. That means that my queue doesn't have any available members.
A different approach would have been to set the p->defaddr to non-null, but that would put the device in NOT_INUSE state which is not entirely correct, since I don't know if the device *is* available. And I haven't checked what other side-effects setting the p->defaddr has.
Tested on asterisk 10 and 11 with the SIP-devices in the state_interface column. Without the patch, the device state is unavailable, and the queue will report the members as unavailable. With the patch, the members have the unknown state and things work properly.
Is it caching an old stale entry without address?
Then when device state is queried it uses that old stale entry instead of requerying realtime... so it thinks it has no address when in realtime there really is an address?
Well, no, cause your title says uncached... I'm more confused about how it's returning a peer because devicestate purposely doesn't check realtime.
So, the devstate_only=TRUE initiates a realtime lookup anyway, but ensures that the found peer isn't linked in the peers table (if rtcachefriends were to be true).
The comments in sip_devicestate could probably use some clarification.
> Is it caching an old stale entry without address?
No, it's returning the freshly loaded peer, but it will never have an p->addr (unless it is currently in a call); the proxy takes care of that stuff. So I need the devicestate to return what it knows, which is *nothing* (unknown), not *unavailable*.
Indeed. A dialog-based one. The peer doesn't know it has one until I hit Dial.
Yeah... that is the underlying problem here, which is why I'm uncomfortable with the change. Every other realtime user who isn't doing what you are doing loses out on knowing if the peer is available or not in a more granular fashion, since in their case the check is valid.

Q: Using Spring to Access an EJB Across Clusters in WebSphere using Grails I have spent the last few days attempting to integrate a Grails (version 1.3.2) application with an EJB 2.1 application that is deployed on WebSphere 6.1.  Once our grails apps are in production, they will be deployed to WebSphere as well.  The EJB 2.1 application is widely used across our company and, in anything except a local development environment, is deployed to its own cluster.  The way we handle this in our existing Java EE applications (all of which are non-Spring, non-Grails) is to bind a CORBA CosNaming Naming Context within each of our other clusters that can then be used to obtain references to our shared EJB 2.1 application.  So, up to this point, if one of our application needed to interact with this application, they would do so using an approach like this:
String cosNameBinding = "ejbApp.HighAvail.cluster";
InitialContext initial = new InitialContext();
Context fedContext = (javax.naming.Context) initialCtx.lookup(cosNameBinding);

Then do the normal EJB-style lookup/narrow/invoke using the federated/CosNaming context:
Object ejbHomeAsObject = fedContext.lookup(jndiNameOfService);
EJBHome home = (EJBHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ejbHomeAsObject, homeClass);
Object service = invokeMethod(homeClass, home, "create");

As you can see, there is a level of indirection that occurs here in order to go from the InitialContext to the federated naming Context that can be used to interact with the shared EJB application.
Running locally, I have both the Grails application and the EJB application deployed to the same server (non network deployment WAS, same profile&node).  I have Spring configured like so:
beans = {
        ejbJndi(org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate) {
            environment = ["java.naming.factory.initial" :
                           "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory"]
        }
        crewMemberService(org.springframework.ejb.access.SimpleRemoteStatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean) {
            jndiName="hotelService/ejb/HotelService"
            businessInterface="com.company.appName.hotel.HotelService"
            lookupHomeOnStartup="false"
            cacheHome="false"
            refreshHomeOnConnectFailure="true"
            jndiTemplate = ref("ejbJndi")
        }
}

And I can successfully inject ejb references into my Grails controllers and invoke them.  However, WebSphere can only resolve the JNDI lookup because they are both deployed on the same server.  When we move it to one of our development environments, we'll need jndi lookups for these services to go against the federated naming context.
So my questions are:

*

*Is there a way to do this with the classes that are provided within Spring and if so could you give me an idea of how I would need up modify my Spring config to do so?

*Given that there is no flexibility around how we deploy the other app or gain references to its services (we must use the federated context), should I consider extending JndiTemplate and do the necessary wiring myself?

If anyone has faced this situation I would be most appreciative for any insights you may be able to offer.

A: In case anyone has this same question down the road, I ended up implementing an extension to Spring's JndiTemplate and using that.  Here is the code:
public class FederatedJndiTemplate extends org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate
{
    protected static final String JNDI_CONTEXT_BINDING_NAME = "fed.context.jndiName";

    /**
     * Obtain a JNDI naming context for the specified federated naming context.
     *
     * @throws NamingException if no "fed.context.jndiName" has been specified in
     * the environment properties for the jndiTemplate or the container throws a naming
     * exception.
     */
    @Override
    protected Context createInitialContext() throws NamingException {
        Properties props = super.getEnvironment();

        if(!props.containsKey(JNDI_CONTEXT_BINDING_NAME)) {
            throw new NamingException("You must specify the federated naming context JNDI binding name");
        }

        String jndiBinding = props.getProperty(JNDI_CONTEXT_BINDING_NAME);
        InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
        Context fedCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup(jndiBinding);
        return fedCtx;
    }
}

Then inside my resources.groovy, I just used this JndiTemplate:
            ejbJndi(com.myCompany.spring.jndi.FederatedJndiTemplate) {
                    environment = [
                        "fed.context.jndiName":"myServices.HighAvail.Cluster"]
            }
            hotelService(org.springframework.ejb.access.SimpleRemoteStatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean) {
                jndiName="hotelService/ejb/HotelService"
                businessInterface="com.mycompany.appName.hotel.HotelService"
                homeInterface="com.mycompany.appName.hotel.HotelServiceHome"
                lookupHomeOnStartup="false"
                jndiTemplate = ref("ejbJndi")
            }

Study of Latin American digital media entrepreneurs' impact, threats and sustainability.

Digital media entrepreneurs in Latin America are serving an increasingly important role. They are not just producing news — they are generators of change, promoting better laws, defending human rights, exposing corruption and fighting abuses of power. They are driven to produce independent news in highly politically polarized countries — and some of them are paying a high price for it.

There are now hundreds of digital media natives in the region that range from small, volunteer-fueled projects serving niche audiences, to significant news organizations reaching tens of millions through websites, podcasts and social media.

This study is the first comprehensive examination of the impact these entrepreneurs are having, the risks they face and whether a viable business model has emerged for quality, independent, digital journalism. To conduct this research, SembraMedia, with the support of Omidyar Network, commissioned a team to study 100 digital news startups, 25 each in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.

This report is aimed at helping the founders of digital media startups better understand the trends, threats and best practices that affect them. It is also designed to help investors, foundations and journalism organizations to appreciate the value, vulnerability and impact of this fast-growing media ecosystem.

This resource is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Q: "Ridgy didge" — what's that mean? Australia day is nearly upon us! And that means it's time to throw another steak on the barbie and say real Aussie things like "ridgy didge".
Flaming heck, what's that even mean, "ridgy didge"? I've been saying it for years in sentences like,

I'm true blue, fair dinkum, ridgy didge, dinky die Aussie.

Does anyone know what "ridgy didge" means and where it came from?

A: Wiktionary says

ridgy didge, fanciful diminutive of obsolete ridge ("real; used in reference to gold").
   Australian, colloquial from 1953.
Sense 1: Genuine, authentic, true; honest, upright.
Are you ridgy-didge? - Do you really mean that? Are you telling the truth?
Sense 2: Good, fine.

Regarding that obsolete usage, OED says

ridge, n.2 Cant. Now only U.S. [Origin obscure.]   Gold; gold coin. Also, any metal coin.
ridge-cully, a goldsmith.

I doubt the didge part means anything at call - it's just reduplication (repetitive alliteration) along the lines of Okey-dokey, higgledy-piggledy, etc.

In 1923 a group of Syracuse businessmen and professionals, all of them avid golfers, formed "a club within the means of the average golfer where golf will be of primary importance." They hired noted golf course architect Seymour Dunn and, with a little help from famed architect Robert Trent Jones, built a club on the gently rolling hills of Marcellus. They named the club Tuscarora, after the fierce Indians who, hundreds of years ago, settled in the fertile lands of Central New York. Today, the goal of the club's founders lives on. Tuscarora's friendly members enjoy an impeccably groomed course with tree-lined fairways and small but fast greens at a very modest price.
Whether you are looking for new clubs, merchandise, clothing or golf balls, the pro shop carries it all.
Tuscarora offers a grill room to complement your golf game and casual fine dining for your night out.

Citing the Polish border crisis, Basic Finns are once again challenging the government on immigration issues
During Parliament's Question Time on Thursday, there was a heated debate on the situation on the border between Belarus and Poland and on Finland's preparedness for hybrid threats.
Thousands of migrants have gathered at the border in an attempt to enter the European Union. According to the EU and Finland, this is a hybrid operation in Belarus that opposes sanctions against the country after the controversial 2020 presidential elections.
Opposition In a debate on Thursday, basic Finns announced that it would once again pass a motion of censure on its center-left government over its immigration policy. The last time Basic Finns made an interpellation on immigration was in October.
Chairman of the Finnish Party Riikka Purra referred to an unconfirmed report by the German newspaper Die Welt that Germany and Finland are the main destinations for migrants entering the EU via the Belarusian-Polish border.
"There are gaps in our legislation"
Petteri Orpo, the leader of the second largest opposition party, the National Coalition Party, urgently called on the government to change legislation to allow the reception of asylum applications to be suspended.
"We have shortcomings in our legislation. We must be able to stop and suspend the reception of asylum applications. We do not currently have the tool" The orphan said.
Basic Finns also call for an emergency measure to ensure that asylum applications are not accepted in exceptional circumstances.
prime minister Sanna Marin (SDP) condemned the actions of Belarus and called them an attack on the European Union. According to Marin, it is worth finding out whether there is a need for reform in Finnish legislation.
"In a similar situation, the Finnish government would act. We do not accept such activity at that border, and we do not accept it at our own borders. It is important that the EU is united on this issue and supports these countries," Marin said.

Das Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic-David Walker Memorial ist ein Rundstreckenrennen. Es wird jährlich am US-amerikanischen Vatertag im Marcus Garvey Park im New Yorker Stadtviertel Harlem ausgetragen und ist das älteste Straßenradrennen der Stadt. Die Veranstaltung mit mehreren Wettbewerben in verschiedenen Altersklassen im Herren- und Damenbereich zählte zeitweise zur US-amerikanischen Kriterium-Meisterschaftsserie.

Erstmals wurde das Rennen im Jahr 1973 ausgetragen. Der Beiname David Walker Memorial geht auf einen NYPD-Officer zurück, der das Rennen mit dem Ziel, Kinder für den Radsport zu begeistern und ihnen Verantwortung und Sportlichkeit näherzubringen, ins Leben rief. Nach dem Tod von David Walker im Jahr 2008 führte sein Sohn David C. Walker die Organisation zusammen mit dem ehemaligen Radprofi John Eustice und dessen Veranstaltungsfirma Sparta Cycling weiter. Bei der 40. Austragung im Jahr 2013 übernahm Charlie Issendorf die Organisation des Rennens, nachdem das Rennen den Verlust einiger Sponsoren zu verkraften hatte. Ein Jahr später ging die Organisation in die Hände von Richard Claudel Cox und seiner gemeinnützigen Firma "Unity Sports Productions" über.

In der Regel werden die Wettbewerbe als Rundstreckenrennen verschiedener Lizenz- und Altersklassen ausgetragen. Lediglich im Jahr 2011 wurde der Wettbewerb im aus dem Bahnradsport stammenden Omnium-Format durchgeführt und durch den Deutschen Leif Lampater gewonnen. Nach der Absage des Rennens im Jahr 2020 aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie wurde die Veranstaltung im Jahr darauf wieder regulär ausgetragen und feierte im Jahr 2022 als Teil der US-amerikanischen Kriterium-Meisterschaftsserie ihr 50-jähriges Jubiläum, an dem in den verschiedenen Wettbewerben insgesamt 463 Sportler teilnahmen.

Die Wettbewerbe sind ein wichtiger Anlaufpunkt für die New Yorker Radsportszene; so begann etwa Olympia-Silbermedaillengewinner Nelson Vails als Kind seine Karriere in einem der Nachwuchsrennen. Unterstützt wurde das Rennen ab 2009 von der Videospielfirma Rockstar Games, die dafür sorgte, dass neben lokalen Fahrern auch Profis aus Europa, vorrangig Bahnprofis wie der Deutsche Leif Lampater oder der Schweizer Franco Marvulli, in einem eigenen Team an den Start gingen.
