Q: Traefik - proxy to backend for angular application I have set up a proxy with Nginx which is as follows
    server {
       listen       80;
       server_name  localhost;

       location /api {
          proxy_pass https://api.mydomain.com/;
       }

       location / {
         root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
         index  index.html index.htm;
       }

       error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
       location = /50x.html {
          root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
       }
    }

my  Dockerfile
       FROM node:12-alpine as builder
       WORKDIR /workspace
       COPY ./package.json ./
       RUN npm install
       COPY . .
      RUN npm run build

      FROM nginx
      COPY ./nginx/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
      COPY --from=builder /app/www /usr/share/nginx/html
      EXPOSE 80
      CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

This works fine But wants to replace Nginx with Traefik for the above proxy settings. Any help would be much appreciated since I'm very new to traefik.

A: With Traefik 2+, you need to configure 2 routers:
 - One for the API
 - One for the webapp
For the API proxy, you will have a rule like:
rule = "Host(`example.com`) && Path(`/api`)"

And the webapp will juste have the host as rule
rule = "Host(`example.com`)"

For kubernetes, you can do it in an ingress like that:
apiVersion: traefik.containo.us/v1alpha1
kind: IngressRoute
metadata:
  name: simpleingressroute
  namespace: default
spec:
  entryPoints:
    - web
  routes:
  - match: Host(`example.com`) && PathPrefix(`/api`)
    kind: Rule
    services:
    - name: mywebapp-svc
      port: 80
  - match: Host(`example.com`)
    Kind: Rule
    services:
    - name: myapi-svc
      port: 80

If the API is not inside the kubernetes cluster, you can define the rule tu use an externalService like that:
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: myapi-svc
  namespace: default
spec:
  externalName: api.mydomain.com
  type: ExternalName

A: if you want to step up from that manual configuration, you may use Traefik as described here. Watch how he uses docker labels to define how to route HTTP traffic.
I personally use caddy docker proxy in docker (swarm, but not required) which I find easier to understand and use

This is a guest post by Gary Oster from Project: Time Off.
Well, not really EVERY week. As you climb the ranks, it can seem harder to use all the time off you're given. You feel pressure to be visible. Your partner may not have the same number of days.
The list of excuses can go on and on. And in my long career, I've used all of them. When I was starting out and focused on climbing the ladder, I was the quintessential work martyr. You know who I'm talking about: the person who takes on more than they have the time for, thinks no one can do the job as well, and rarely (if ever) takes a day off.
Thankfully, I had my aha! moment and made a change—for the sake of my family and my personal well-being. Part of that change was to make scheduling time off mandatory—and in doing so, it started to feel like fun instead of a chore.
As the kids have left the nest, my wife and I have started our own traditions: a vacation in the winter to go somewhere warm, around Memorial Day to kick off summer, and a last hurrah as summer fades away around Labor Day.
But even with these planned vacations, I still have days I need to use. A few years ago, I decided to make long weekends with summer Fridays. I'm a passionate boater, whether it's cruising the Chesapeake Bay with friends or fishing with my dad and son, I am happiest when I'm on the water.
Taking summer Fridays allows me to get an extra day on the water without spilling into our already-packed weekends. Throughout July and August, I block Fridays on my calendar so my team knows I'm out of the office. As end of the week approaches, I'm sure to check-in with my team so work can move forward in my absence.
Every now and again, a Friday on the water turns into a "baycation" stretching over the weekend at some destination on the Chesapeake or anchored out in a secluded creek, while enjoying the wildlife, hanging with friends, or (yes, you guessed it) grabbing the tackle box and going fishing.
These days off are critical to achieving balance for me, ensuring my days at work are both effective and productive. They also give me a chance to recharge my batteries, clear my body of work-related stress, and orient my perspective.
I recognize that not everyone has the time off available to take every Friday off. But I encourage you to plan your time off so you can use what you earn—I guarantee it's worth it.
Project: Time Off aims to shift culture so that using personal time off is not considered frivolous, but essential to strengthening families and improving personal health, a business investment with proven returns, and an economic necessity. Join us in disrupting the vacation stigma. Learn about why vacation is important, communicate about it with coworkers and company management, and lead by example by taking advantage of your paid time off.
This is a great article. I love this project and what it stands for. We have to realize that life isn't all about work. If we don't stop and take intentional time to detach and relax, then we're doing ourselves, business, career and family a disservice. And obviously what better way to do that then on the water. Thanks for this!
I suspect most places, like my home waters, are much different on Fridays as opposed to weekend days (Sat/Sun) with less boats, quieter marinas and just a generally different vibe. That's another benefit to taking some random weekdays off to simply enjoy your local boating locale.

Déjà Vu: The Comparision Between Fedor vs. Werdum & St-Pierre vs. Serra
It feels like déjà vu all over again.
This past weekend's Strikeforce event saw a main event between Fedor Emelianenko and Fabricio Werdum, with the winner receiving a title shot at Alistair Overeem, who was sitting ringside for the bout. Most MMA fans and analysts were expecting another win for the 230lb Russian, but this is MMA, and as the old saying goes, "expect the unexpected."
Werdum not only shocked the San Jose crowd, but he shocked the MMA world when he upset the seemingly invincible Emelianenko via submission just 69 seconds in the opening round.
On the contrary, Werdum wasn't dropped while exchanging with Fedor; he actually played possum and executed a smart strategy by forcing Emelianenko to get into his guard. From there, Werdum locked on an arm triangle, transitioned to an arm bar and gave his opponent no choice but to tap.
It's odd, but this bout draws a lot of comparisons to Georges St-Pierre's first title defense vs. Matt Serra at UFC 69.
For starters, both Serra and Werdum came into their bouts as huge underdogs. In fact, Serra had more odds stacked against him, coming in with 6:1 chance of winning.
Also, both fighters were considered journeymen at the time in their respective careers, Werdum was 2-2 coming into his bout, while Serra was 3-3 going into his matchup. Not only were both St-Pierre and Emelianenko heavily favored to win their bouts, they were also riding their own winning streaks.
Another similarity is that while both fights ended in the first round, Serra and Werdum were able to find openings in their opponents and it allowed them to get the opportunity to finish them.
If you notice in the matchup between St-Pierre and Serra, Serra was willing to strike with the champion and pressed the action. The reason why Serra was pushing the pace was because he was much smaller than GSP, and it allowed him to get inside of St-Pierre and strike from a short range. To try and get inside St-Pierre's range, Serra started to jab repeatedly at his opponent's body.
Once Matt Serra finally got inside of St-Pierre' range, he caught the champion square on the jaw and overwhelmed St-Pierre with a flurry of strikes and awarded Matt Serra the upset and the UFC Welterweight title.
In the matchup featuring Fedor and Werdum, it obviously ended much quicker.
The fight began with both men standing toe-to-toe and Fedor getting the better of the exchange. Although the Brazilian appeared to be rocked, Fedor actually didn't connect and Werdum purposely fell back, forcing "The Last Emperor" to come into his guard. As Emelianenko swung carelessly, Werdum raised both of his legs, causing his hips to elevate and catching the Russian's left arm. Fedor fought hard to get out of the dangerous Brazilian's guard, but Werdum still had Fedor's left arm trapped. From there, Werdum tightened his grip, positioned himself, and sunk in the submission for the win.
These are two similar situations ending in two different outcomes. The two challengers, Fabricio Werdum and Matt Serra, both pulled off impossible outcomes while sticking to their strategies.
History shows us that in MMA no fighter is unbeatable. But it also teaches us that you live to fight another day, as St-Pierre came back to reclaim his title over Matt Serra in a dominating fashion.
It is likely, in a similar fashion, Fedor Emelianenko will do the same.

NBA Free Agency 2010: 10 Targets for the San Antonio Spurs
Like it or not, this offseason will mark the start of a new era in the NBA. That means a changing of the guard. Out with the old, in with the new. For teams like the San Antonio Spurs, who have been among the NBA's best for so long, that is not a happy thought. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili are not as young as they used to be. You could argue that they all hit their prime and are on the decline. The Spurs tried to gain athleticism with Richard Jefferson, but it did not pay off. Now, with the swingman likely re—signing, there is not much room for flexibility this offseason in San Antonio. But there is some. Roger Mason and Matt Bonner are both off the books after each made more than $3 million in 2010. The Spurs also lose Keith Bogans and Ian Mahinmi. So who could the Spurs possibly nab during free agency to put a spring in their veterans' steps? Here are 10 possibilities.

NBA Free Agency: John Salmons Opts Out Of Contract With Milwaukee Bucks
In a move that everyone expected, shooting guard John Salmons opted out of the final year of his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, becoming an unrestricted free agent. Salmons will now be free to negotiate with any NBA team once the free agency period begins on Thursday.
Salmons declined the $5.8 million he was due with the Bucks for the 2010-11 season.
Many feel Salmons is destined for the Atlanta Hawks since Joe Johnson is most likely to leave via free agency as well. Bucks GM John Hammond has been adamant all offseason that he would very much like to see Salmons return to Milwaukee next season.
Salmons averaged 19.9 points a game with the Bucks after he was acquired in February from the Chicago Bulls. In his 30 games with Milwaukee, they went 22-8 with him in the lineup.
The Brewers traded for Chris Douglas-Roberts last week as a back-up option should they be unable to bring Salmons back to Milwaukee. Douglas-Roberts is among those that hope Salmons will be back in Milwaukee as well.
"If we play with each other, I'm going to learn a lot from him and I'm going to pick his brain," Douglas-Roberts said to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I've seen his progression. I remember the days he was in playing behind (Allen) Iverson (in Philadelphia)."
"I will ask him how he handled everything and how he continued to get better. He definitely displayed mental toughness."
Resigning Salmons would be a giant coup for Hammond. He could make more leaving Milwaukee, but with the additions the team has made, keeping Salmons would make them one of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference.
Also expected to leave is back-up point guard Luke Ridnour. Rumors now have the New York Knicks as the destination for Ridnour. He would fit well with the up-tempo style the Knicks like to play.
Although resigning both would be ideal for the Bucks and their fans, it's imperative that they keep either Salmons or Ridnour. Brandon Jennings, for all his great play last season, is still a 20-year-old point guard entering his second season, and Chris Douglas-Roberts has only seen a limited number of starts in his career. Losing backcourt depth will severely hinder the progress already gained this offseason.
The Bucks were the surprise team in the Eastern Conference last season but if Salmons and Ridnour both leave, they could very likely see a regression back to a sub-par team and miss out on the playoffs.

NBA Free Agency: Philadelphia 76ers Have Evan Turner, Now What?
Surprising no one, the Philadelphia 76ers used their No. 2 pick to scoop up Ohio State shooting guard Evan Turner.
In doing this, the 76ers pretty much cemented their back court for the next 10 or so years. Turner will be paired with rising 76ers point guard Jrue Holiday, who proved his skill last season for the team.
Together, Turner and Holiday are expected to enhance the 76ers back court, something the team is currently lacking.
Next up for the 76ers? Improving their front court, of course.
The 76ers' weaknesses are mostly rebounding and defense. The addition of Turner will help with both, but the fact is that they need to make some moves to improve their front court if they want a serious shot at the playoffs next season.
The first move they already made to improve was trading Samuel Dalembert.
Dalembert was only ever full of negativity, and it's been clear that he has wanted out of Philly for a while now. With the trade of Dalembert, the 76ers acquired Spencer Hawes and Andres Nocioni.
Hawes and Nocioni will both provide more front court depth. Hawes is a seven-foot center who brings versatility to the center position, and had an average of 6.1 rebounds last season. Nocioni offers his veteran experience and knowledge to the 76ers' game.
To make up for the trade of Dalembert, the 76ers should look at possible free agents Channing Frye and Udonis Haslem. Both power forwards, the two would provide further depth to the 76ers' front court.
The 76ers might also want to keep an eye on free agent Drew Gooden, whose strength comes in blocking shots.
No matter what the 76ers end up doing in the rest of the offseason, we know that in order to have a serious shot at reclaiming their top spot in the league they have some serious improvements to make. How they decide to accomplish this will be interesting indeed.

LeBron James Free Agency: Bulls Should Not Be Concerned About 'Fit'
Like all great players, LeBron James is a polarizing figure.
Some love him and some hate him. Some want him on the Bulls, some want him to stay far away from Chicago.
But to say James should not play in Chicago because the Bulls already have Luol Deng at small forward is beyond silly. It's stupid. Idiotic, even.
The typical argument I see out there is this: The Bulls have Derrick Rose, Deng, and Joakim Noah. Therefore, the Bulls should go after a shooting guard like Joe Johnson and a power forward like Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, or Carlos Boozer. That way they will have a complete starting five.
That suggests that despite the Bulls having a legitimate chance at landing James and Bosh, two of the top three free agents, they should instead focus on building around Deng.
See how foolish that sounds?
Look, in a traditional free agency period, it makes sense to go after a "need." The Clippers, for example, are really just a small forward away from having a complete starting five.
But this is an unprecedented time in the NBA. It's not free agency as usual.
Instead of having stars signed and building around them, teams are vying for star free agents. Basically, it is the reverse of what is traditionally done.
Because of this, the Bulls need to forget about signing the players who best complement their current roster. Which, quite frankly, does not amount to much in their current position.
If the Bulls can sign LeBron, they should do it instantly. Sure, he and Deng play the same position. But Deng could probably be shipped somewhere (like the Clippers) or used in a sign-and-trade deal.
Then the Bulls could target a more natural shooting guard to space the court for Rose and LeBron. There are several shooting specialists available for cheap in this free agent class.
Is LeBron the perfect "fit" on the current Bulls roster? Absolutely not. But when you're the best player in the league, it really doesn't matter.
James is the centerpiece for whichever team lands him this offseason. You build around a guy like him.
You don't try to fit him into a spot.

If you are thinking of moving to Tellisford or just want to know a what the area is like, the statistics on this page should give you a good introduction. They cover a range of socio-economic factors so you can compare Tellisford to figures for Somerset and nationally. These statistics can tell you if Tellisford is an economically deprived area and how hard it might be to get a job.
The respondents of the 2011 Census were asked to rate their health. These are the results for Tellisford. The percentage of residents in Tellisford rating their health as 'very good' is less than the national average.
These figures on the claiming of benefits in Tellisford come from the Department for Work & Pensions and are dated . They can often be a good indicator of the prosperity of the town and possible indicator of how hard it would be to get employment in the area. The rate of unemployment in Tellisford is both lower than the average for Somerset and lower than the national average, suggesting that finding a job in this area maybe easier than most places. The rate of claiming any benefit (which includes in work benefits) is more than 10% lower in Tellisford than the national average, suggesting higher salaries than the average in the area.
These statistics are for the highest level education obtained by the residents of Tellisford and are from the UK Census of 2011.
The population of Tellisford as a whole, is older than the national average. However, the population of Tellisford is younger than the Somerset average.
These figures for Country of Birth for the residents of Tellisford are from the UK Census of 2011. Since Tellisford has a higher level of residents born in the UK than the national average and a lower rate of residents either born in other EU countries or outside the EU, it does not have a significant immigrant population.

'Distressing': Rescuers save calf 'enveloped' in shark net (VIDEO)
© Twitter / HSI Australia
A baby humpback whale, tangled in a shark net, has been saved by marine conservationists off the coast of Queensland, Australia, in what has been described as a "distressing" rescue.
Rescuers sprung into action at Greenmount Beach in Gold Coast City after the humpback calf became caught in a net designed to keep great white sharks away from swimmers.
Conservationists from Sea World Gold Coast, a marine wildlife park, as well as experts from Australia's Department of Fisheries raced to the scene to free the stricken animal on Tuesday.
Footage of the incredible rescue shows a team using cutting tools on a mass of netting in order to allow the majestic creature to escape.
"It was actually quite a distressing rescue," a spokesperson from Sea World Gold Coast. "It was a very, very young calf heavily engaged in the net. It was almost enveloped in the net. It was successful though and we were able to free the calf. The calf had lots of superficial wounds but nothing that was life threatening".
Following the rescue the Humane Society International Australia, an animal rights group, said the incident is an example of how Queensland's use of shark nets is harmful to wildlife.
"Seeing these images of a baby humpback whale entangled in a shark net should be enough to get the Queensland Government to remove the nets. How many more animals must suffer in these nets before the Government moves to more effective, non-lethal measures?," the group said in a statement.

Jordan Devlin and Travis Banks continued their feud but did not manage to resolve it, as they went to a double countout in an intensely fought, great main event.
Pete Dunne addressed the crowd to open the show and got interrupted by Gallus. As Joe Coffey cut a promo on Dunne, WALTER made his entrance and he and Dunne cleaned house on Gallus, then had a staredown.
On the undercard, Nina Samuels beat the debuting Lana Austin, while Eddie Dennis returned for the first time since losing to Dave Mastiff at TakeOver and destroyed Jamie Ahmed.
- The show opened with a recap of Jordan Devlin attacking Travis Banks as he entered the arena and then again before their scheduled match at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool two weeks ago. It then progressed to Banks vowing to take revenge. Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness talked more about the match in studio.
- Pete Dunne came to the ring to address the crowd. He said that at TakeOver: Blackpool "we made history!" He said that while things changed since the first show in Blackpool two years ago, since TakeOver: Chicago in 2017, he's still the WWE United Kingdom Champion.
Gallus came out, with Joe Coffey saying that TakeOver didn't change a thing and this was still his kingdom. He said that the war wasn't over and the end of it, the UK title would be around his waist. He said if anyone had a problem with that, they should speak up.
At that point, the lights went out, the fourth movement of Antonín Dvorák's Symphony No. 9 hit, and WALTER walked to the ring. Gallus suddenly looked like they wanted to quickly leave ringside, but it was a ruse as Wolfgang and Mark Coffey hit the ring.
WALTER kicked Coffey in the face and Dunne snapped Wolfgang's fingers, sending the heels packing. Dunne and WALTER then stared at each other, with WALTER eyeing Dunne's title before leaving.
- Sid Scala made a statement in front of some journalists about NXT UK being part of the Worlds Collide tournament in Phoenix for Royal Rumble Axxess this weekend. Scala said they also would tape three episodes of NXT UK there.
Zack Gibson and James Drake entered the venue in the background. Scala asked them if they wanted to address the media. The tag champs virtually blew Scala off and Gibson said they'd give a statement next week.
Austin made her NXT UK debut here. She started out in 2013, was a regular with Future Shock Wrestling, and also appeared for promotions such as ICW, ATTACK! Pro, Pro Wrestling: EVE, and a large number of other UK indies, and also wrestled at at a UK taping for Impact. She is a mother of three and is the current Future Shock Wrestling Women's Champion.
Austin started out strong, but Samuels grounded things to a hold with a headlock, then hit a snapmare for a two count. Austin got out of another headlock with a Russian leg sweep and hit a number of clotheslines and punches.
Samuels finally managed to pick Austin up and hit Prima Donna for the victory.
- A recap video of the NXT UK Tag Team Championship tournament finals from TakeOver aired, with Gibson and Drake beating Moustache Mountain. An interview that Radzi Chinyanganya conducted with Moustache Mountain after the match was also shown. Trent Seven was devastated -- but Tyler Bate said that they would eventually win the titles.
- Travis Banks was shown warming up backstage.
- An interview that Radzi conducted with Toni Storm after her match at TakeOver aired. She said that the brand deserved the best women's division and she would do everything to give the fans that. She said the Mae Young Classic changed her and the experience helped her win the NXT UK Women's Championship.
Dennis charged in, but Ahmed took over with a hip toss until Dennis hit a hard lariat to quickly end that flare-up of offense. Dennis locked on a cravat and kept the hold on even after Ahmed tried rolling through on it. Dennis hit a hard knee and threw Ahmed out of the ring, then struck him down with a hard running forearm.
Back inside, Ahmed escaped the Severn Bridge and hit a boxing combination, but Dennis stopped him in his tracks after he went to the top rope and hit a big superplex. Dennis hit the Next Stop Driver for the victory.
- A Tweet by Johnny Saint was shown, announcing Moustache Mountain vs. Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner for next week.
- Jordan Devlin was shown preparing backstage.
The match started off hot as Banks ran down to the ring and immediately attacked Devlin, quickly clotheslined him to the outside and hit a suicide dive, and then hit a second one to another side of the ring just as Devlin recovered. Banks threw him over the barrier and manhandled him in the crowd, eventually kicking him back to the ringside area, then hit a dive off the barrier on Devlin.
Devlin eventually clipped Banks' knee, but Banks came back with a double stomp onto Devlin's back from the apron. Banks punished Devlin some more with aggressive kicks.
Devlin took over by kicking Banks off the turnbuckle on a springboard attempt and followed up with a backstabber. He hit his over-the-shoulder backbreaker for a near fall, then followed it up with his uranage/standing moonsault combo. After some submission holds, Devlin hit an insane standing Spanish Fly off the apron to the outside, and both men barely made it back into the ring.
Devlin hit another Spanish Fly off a clothesline attempt by Banks, but Banks powered right back up and hit a super stiff lariat. Banks wouldn't let go of Devlin's wrist, hitting a number of forearms. When even a headbutt couldn't loosen the Kiwi Buzzsaw's grip, Devlin hit his pull-up backdrop driver. Banks managed to hit the Kiwi Crusher, but Devlin kicked out at two.
Devlin went for Ireland's Call but couldn't hold Banks up. They both staggered through the ropes to the outside -- and neither man could make it back to the ring to answer the count.
Neither wrestler was happy with the result and they began brawling again, with Banks throwing Devlin over the barrier. They brawled beside the crowd as the show faded to black.
Moustache Mountain face Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner -- and WALTER makes his NXT UK in-ring debut.


Now we pull out as many prime factors as we can which are contained in the factorizations of both numbers. We can't use 2 at all, since it is only contained in the factorization of 450; we can use a factor of 3, but only one; and we can use two factors of 5. Putting these together, the greatest common divisor of 450 and 525 is .
Given two integers m and n, if they are the same, then clearly they are equal to their greatest common divisor.
Otherwise, reduce the larger of the two numbers by subtracting the smaller number from it.
That's it. Were you expecting something more complicated? We already know that doing the subtraction step doesn't change the GCD, and since the numbers are always getting smaller, the algorithm must eventually stop. Genius! That Euclid was one smart dude. Anyway, let's try it on a simple example: finding the GCD of 56 and 20.
56 is greater than 20, so subtract 20 from 56, leaving 36 and 20.
36 is still greater than 20, so subtract 20 again, leaving 16 and 20.
Subtract 16 from 20, leaving 4 and 16.
Subtract 4 from 16 three times, eventually leaving 4 and 4.
Neat! But… what has all this got to do with the Calkin-Wilf tree? Well, if you haven't already noticed, the Euclidean algorithm is exactly the same as the method for finding your way "up" the Calkin-Wilf tree! In particular, since all the rationals in the Calkin-Wilf tree are in lowest terms, finding your way up the Calkin-Wilf tree from m/n exactly corresponds to using the Euclidean Algorithm on m and n in order to show that their GCD really is 1. And in general, if , running the Euclidean Algorithm on m and n is like finding your way up a Calkin-Wilf tree in which all the numbers have been multiplied by d (so that it starts at d/d instead of 1/1). In an important sense, we can say that the Calkin-Wilf tree is the Euclidean Algorithm, in tree form!
In closing, I should note that in practice there's a slight improvement we can make upon the basic Euclidean Algorithm. To see what it is, consider running the Euclidean Algorithm on 20451 and 2. Well, 20451 is bigger than 2, so subtract 2 from 20451, leaving 20449 and 2. Subtract 2 again, leaving 20447 and 2. 20447 is still bigger than 2, so subtract… this is the point where we start getting very bored. Everyone can see perfectly well that since 20451 is odd, after subtracting 2 enough times, we will eventually be left with 1. So this suggests our practical improvement: at each step, instead of replacing the larger number by the remainder when subtracting the smaller number, replace it by the remainder when dividing it by the smaller number—since division can be viewed as repeated subtraction. Now, using this improved method, can you find the GCD of 2257394839 and 45466644967?

I couldn't explain exactly how I found your blog- I hopped from a 'stumbled upon' site to a link and to another- but I just want to say that this is great stuff, and you present it quite well.
I read your post about wondering whether it's worth all the work you put into a blog. One of the great things about blogs is that they store well. I'm always amazed at the quality of writing I encounter in blogs that are, sadly, now defunct.
In any case, now that I know you are here, I'm looking forward to reading more. Good stuff.
I too am enjoying these very much.
One request though: would it be possible to use transparent backgrounds for the math graphics? I usually read these in an RSS reader with an off-white background.
Brent: sure, no biggie. Out of curiosity, how are the images generated? I know in the past there have been issues with ImageMagick and transparency; in fact I worked on a little patch to a program called L2P (http://redsymbol.net/software/l2p/) to help with this.
Jesse: they are generated by injecting the LaTeX code into a minimal LaTeX document, running it through latex to produce a .ps file, and then using ImageMagick's convert to make it into a .png. Sounds like exactly what l2p does. How does l2p get nice transparency?
how about fourier siries and fourier transformation next?
and maybe some more graphical representations?
Note to generate nice math pngs I've found mathml -> svg -> png a good process, with the processing done with mathmlsvg and gimp respectively.
These tools came as standard with my Fedora 7 distribution at least.

Sam Donaldson Named Inaugural Chair of NCCN Foundation Board
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) announces that veteran newsman Sam Donaldson has accepted the position of chair of the NCCN Foundation Board of Directors. The NCCN Foundation will seek philanthropic support for programs to benefit patients with cancer as well as researchers.
HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--The NCCN 15th Annual Conference: Clinical Practice Guidelines & Quality Cancer Care™ commenced on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 with an announcement that veteran ABC news anchor Sam Donaldson has been named as chair of the newly established NCCN Foundation Board of Directors.
William T. McGivney, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of NCCN noted, "We are thrilled that Mr. Donaldson has accepted the position as chair of the NCCN Foundation Board of Directors. I am confident that he will provide wise and practical leadership as we look to implement programs that will benefit patients with cancer as well as researchers."
The NCCN Foundation was recently established as the philanthropic affiliate of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) to embrace the NCCN mission of improving the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients with cancer, while providing additional information and resources for informed decision-making.
"As a chAmpion of the NCCN and of the amazing work they do, I am honored to serve on the NCCN Foundation Board of Directors and look forward to lending my voice to contribute to its many significant accomplishments," said Sam Donaldson.
One of the primary initiatives of the NCCN Foundation will be to gain support for the development of the NCCN Patient Guidelines. The NCCN Patient Guidelines are translations of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines™) into a patient-friendly resource outlining appropriate treatment.
"As one of the 12 million cancer survivors in the United States today, I can personally attest to the need for credible information that patients can use to help them navigate the overwhelming and emotional task of deciding on treatment," noted Mr. Donaldson.
The NCCN Foundation will also seek philanthropic support for effective distribution of the NCCN Patient Guidelines as well as the translation of these guidelines into multiple foreign languages. It will also be looking to attain funds to develop and distribute NCCN Cancer Medication Information Sheets™ (NCCN CMI™), a resource to assist patients with safety and compliance concerns related to complex medication regimens, as well as developing survivorship programs for the growing population of cancer survivors.
Since research is a critical component to the ongoing advancement of cancer treatments, an additional focus of the NCCN Foundation is to develop programs to encourage and assist "Young Investigators" as well as nurses in conducting innovative and collaborative research in clinical oncology at NCCN Member Institutions.

I was now a single person again, as I may call myself; I was loosed from all the obligations either of wedlock or mistress-ship in the world, except my husband the linen-draper, whom, I having not now heard from in almost fifteen years, nobody could blame me for thinking myself entirely freed from; seeing also he had at his going away told me, that if I did not hear frequently from him, I should conclude he was dead, and I might freely marry again to whom I pleased.
I now began to cast up my accounts. I had by many letters and much importunity, and with the intercession of my mother too, had a second return of some goods from my brother (as I now call him) in Virginia, to make up the damage of the cargo I brought away with me, and this too was upon the condition of my sealing a general release to him, and to send it him by his correspondent at Bristol, which, though I thought hard of, yet I was obliged to promise to do. However, I managed so well in this case, that I got my goods away before the release was signed, and then I always found something or other to say to evade the thing, and to put off the signing it at all; till at length I pretended I must write to my brother, and have his answer, before I could do it.
Including this recruit, and before I got the last £50, I found my strength to amount, put all together, to about £400, so that with that I had about £450. I had saved above £100 more, but I met with a disaster with that, which was this—that a goldsmith in whose hands I had trusted it, broke, so I lost £70 of my money, the man's composition not making above £30 out of his £100. I had a little plate, but not much, and was well enough stocked with clothes and linen.
With this stock I had the world to begin again; but you are to consider that I was not now the same woman as when I lived at Redriff; for, first of all, I was near twenty years older, and did not look the better for my age, nor for my rambles to Virginia and back again; and though I omitted nothing that might set me out to advantage, except painting, for that I never stooped to, and had pride enough to think I did not want it, yet there would always be some difference seen between five-and-twenty and two-and-forty.

MOLLYMOOK
NSW Shoalhaven Mollymook Beach Directions
Mollymook is a coastal community that spreads up and over the rear of Bannisters Point and south along the rear of Mollymook Beach, with Mollymook Creek separating it from the northern part of Ulladulla. The 2.3 km long beach (NSW 468) commences in lee of Bannisters Point where it initially faces south, then quickly turns to the south finally swinging round to face north in lee of a southern rock reef. The beach is backed by a near continuous low foredune, then road and houses, with a small creek draining across the northern end. Mollymook Creek crosses the southern section with Mollymook SLSC (founded 1933) toward the southern end. The Mollymook golf course occupies the southern headland. The beach is moderately well exposed with waves averaging 1.4 m along the central and northern section which maintain an attached bar cut by rips every 200-300 m (Fig. 4.351). A rock reef lies off the central portion of the beach, while in the south the headland and northward-trending reef reduces waves to maintain a usually continuous attached bar in front of the surf club (Fig. 4.352). Rips do form however along the entire beach during and following higher seas.

Derek Moore, 19, (left) was arrested for burglary and Donald Moore, 35, (right) was arrested for possession of metal brass knuckles.
A pair of suspects are facing burglary and possession of brass knuckles charges, respectively, after allegedly stealing from Walmart on Nov. 1.
Turlock police responded to the Walmart at 2111 Fulkerth Rd. at approximately 3:04 p.m. on Saturday on the report of a commercial burglary.
Loss prevention had reported the incident after both subjects allegedly failed to comply, said Turlock police spokesperson Sgt. Stephen Webb.
According to the Turlock Police Department, one subject, a 19-year-old male, allegedly entered the business with the intent to steal.
DVDs and a flashlight were stolen from the store, said Webb.
When contacted by loss prevention, the subjects allegedly refused to comply and fled the scene.
Officers located and contacted the two subjects at the intersection of Fulkerth Road and Golden State Boulevard, said Webb.
Derek Moore, 19, was arrested for burglary and Donald Moore, 35, was arrested for possession of metal brass knuckles.
Hit and Run Suspect Located at His Residence
Election Update: Soiseth, Jacob Pad Leads; Measure B Support Falling


Joseph Hudson & Co were by far the largest and most successful of whistle manufacturers. In fact they are still going strong and based in Birmingham where they now trade under the name "Acme Whistles". They subtly changed the design of their whistles quite frequently and so they can often be dated quite accurately and quickly.
Hi, I have a Metropolitan whistle, 13 Barr St, but the word "patent" is stamped below Birmingham and not below Metropolitan as shown on the examples photographed.
Can you offer any further information?
I have one that says "J.HUDSON & CO BIRMINGHAM CNNA1981. Under that is an arrow symbol pointed away from the mouthpiece. Under the arrow symbol is 1952. The cylinder is painted black. There is nothing on the diaphragm.
I bought a whistle with EMILNS & co london brand.
Anyone know anything about this article.
Hello. Can you shed some light on the Hudson whistles, as to dates made, that are markded 193-7100 and also have the Broad Arrow mark? Thanks much!
I believe I have a 1907-1909 Hudson whistle and was wondering what these whistles would be used for? Any help would be appreciated!
The Metropolitan J.Hudson @ co.

Ottawa Senators 2020-21 Preview
Our Ottawa Senators 2020-21 Preview is part of a one-a-day series covering the entire NHL. Click here for the rest of the teams in the leadup to another action-packed NHL season!
Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter for the quickest updates on our content.
Last season Ottawa did not surprise anyone. They ended up 7th in the Atlantic with a 25-34-12 record and 62 points. They had only 191 goals for, good for 24th in the league. At the other end of the ice, they let in 243 goals, which earned them 30th place in the league for goals against. So they were the 2nd worst in the league for goals against.
The most notable part of their season was trading away valuable pieces. General Manager Pierre Dorian traded away Tyler Ennis, Dylan Demelo, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau. This was smart for Dorion to do, in order to help build the future of the club.
The trades helped bolster the picks that the Senators had in the next couple drafts. The Senators had three first round picks in the 2020 draft, including two in the top 5! Tim Stuetzle (3rd overall), Jake Sanderson (5th overall), and Ridly Greig (28th overall) were selected in the first round. They also had three second round picks. Ottawa's prospect pool is definitely growing in size and quality with the moves the team has made the past few seasons.
However, these moves have another side to them. The trades combined with the departures of players in the offseason mean that the team has completely turned over since the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals appearance. Within a year Jean-Gabriel Pageau has been traded, Mark Borowiecki left in free agency, Bobby Ryan was bought out and Craig Anderson remains unsigned. These were the last connections to that team. Colin White and Thomas Chabot saw minimal time in 2017 so I'm not really counting them. With those players leaving, it means that 25 roster players have left the team since the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals. That's only 3 seasons ago. That's remarkable. Whatever core that team had is now completely replaced. I'm not sure if that's good or bad but I can't think of such a rampant change happening like that before in my time as a fan of hockey. However you feel about that, its clear that the Ottawa Senators will have a lot of young dynamic players moving forward after cashing in and basically trading out their entire team.
D.J. Smith now has one (partial) season under his belt as a head coach in the NHL. His experience winning three Memorial Cups will continue to serve him well with such a young team moving forward.

Ottawa Senators Roster Preview
Evgenii Dadonov came to town as a free agent and became the highest paid forward on the team with a three year $5 million dollar deal. Dadonov was a staple on Florida's top line with Barkov and Huberdeau for a few years, and I think his addition will really improve the top six of the Senators. He should slide into the top line and play on the opposite wing of Brady Tkachuk. Dadonov's playmaking should work very well with Tkachuk.
The second line will most likely be centred by Chris Tierney and have Connor Brown on one wing. Outside Dadonov, Tkachuk, Tierney and Brown, I'm unsure who will slot into the top six. The Senators seem to have a lot of options for those spots, and it will definitely depend on chemistry and results. There is a lot of opportunity for young players in this lineup.
Will we see Drake Batherson slide into the top six and get more of a chance for offense? The 22 year old had 54 points in 44 games for Belleville in the AHL and 10 points in 23 with Ottawa last season. How about 3rd overall pick Tim Stuetzle or Alex Formenton who had 53 points in Belleville last year?
Or does Alex Galchenyuk who signed a one year $1 million deal play in the top six, and if he does is he at centre or wing? The Anthony Duclair low risk paid off and he fit in very nicely with the team. It's unfortunate he ended up leaving though. This Galchenyuk signing seems to have the same aim of revitalizing a player who never hit their potential. The real question is do they they play him over long term guys like Drake Batherson?
The more I look at the amount of young players the Senators have, the more questions I think of. They really do have a lot of talented prospects, and it will certainly be a task of D.J. Smith to make sense of it all in the lineup. The Senators also have Colin White, Logan Brown, Rudolfs Balcers, Josh Norris, Vitaly Abramov, Filip Chlapik all under the age of 24. These guys are all at different levels of experience with the NHL and I'm curious if we see a mixture of them all or if any really cement a permanent spot in the lineup for themselves this season. It will really depend on who makes the team out of camp.
The fourth line will likely be comprised of Austin Watson, Nick Paul and Artem Anisimov to handle tough assignments.
Ron Hainsey and Mark Borowiecki left in the off season, and Dylan Demelo was traded out mid season. To combat that, the team brought in veteran Erik Gudbranson from the Ducks and Josh Brown from Florida. Both were acquired via trade and they both play the right side. However, it's likely that Nikita Zaitsev keep the number one pairing right side job. He and Chabot played a lot of minutes together, and had the highest total ice time together 5 on 5 aside from Chabot and Hainsey. Despite not great advanced stats together, we will likely see a top pairing of Chabot and Zaitsev again. To be fair, you will be pretty hard pressed to find any great advanced stats for Senators defense pairings from last season.
Despite being a lefty Erik Brannstrom plays the right side and I think he'll start the season with Christian Wolanin on unit two. Wolanin missed all but 3 games last season with a torn labrum. He was projected to be on the second pairing at the start of the season. Can he regain that spot after missing an entire season? With Dylan Demelo being traded out to Winnipeg mid-season I think the spot is up for grabs. If the team really prefers defenseman to play on their strong handed side, one of these two may move down to the third pairing and see Gudbranson or Brown move up.
Also looking for a spot on the bottom pairing is Christian Jaros, and Mike Reilly. Does Artem Zub come over from Russia? He is seen as a second or third pairing, penalty killing defenseman who has played pro in the KHL. He has and offensive upside but can definitely play a solid defensive game which should be attractive to the Senators at this point.
Similar to the forward group, this defense also has a lot of young players and a lot of talented prospects. The Senators need to develop these players properly and not force them all into the pressure cooker.
In the offseason the team acquired a number one starter in Matt Murray. Although there are questions about his ability to bounce back after a down year with Pittsburgh. Winning back to back cups in your first two seasons in the league must put some intense scrutiny on any dip in numbers. He is a definite upgrade in net, but he's coming off a tough season where he posted a .899 save percentage, a 2.87 GAA, and lost his starter role. Ottawa seems like a tough place to bounce back, you know, with the whole second worst goals against in the league thing, but hey, Murray got a nice overpayment contract from the Senators to not worry about that.
Anders Nilsson would be poised to be the backup to Murray, but he remains out with a concussion. This means that we will likely see Marcus Hogberg bump out Nilsson as the backup for the beginning of the season at least. Hogberg is 6'5″ and had a .904 save percentage and a 3.12 GAA last season in 24 games for the Senators. Not amazing numbers, but that is a better GAA than both Craig Anderson and Anders Nilsson.
Ottawa Senators 2020-2021 Prediction
7th North Division
The Senators will be a very young team, and with that youth will come mistakes. I think they've improved the top six forward group with the addition of Evgenii Dadonov, but there's a lot of question marks about how all these young players will fit into the lineup. This team won't be at the top of the standings, but they will look fresh as all heck playing in those sweet throw back jerseys. If all these young players keep improving and find their NHL game, the Senators could be scary in a few seasons, that is, if management is willing to pay everyone this time around.
That concludes our Ottawa Senators 2020-21 Preview. Check to see if your team has been covered yet in our 2020-21 Season Preview Series.

Gavin McInnes Blasts Single Moms Who think They're 'Cool' For Being Single Moms...
Courtney Kirchoff
Full disclosure: I personally believe children have a right to a mother AND a father. Why? Because it takes both a mother and a father to make a baby. Science. I then conclude it takes a mother and a father to raise a child. Therefore I've always got my small nose bent out of shape whenever someone starts espousing the bravery of single-motherhood, how wonderful it is, how single mothers are heroes deserving of trophies, statues, but most of all, my approval.
Yes, I'm 100% against abortion (read Dear Chris Christie: Abortion is Never an Act of Self-Defense, you Sick, Dumb Bastard...). Raising your child alone is better than cutting it up and putting her in the trash. Okay? Okay. But this whole idea that single moms are the "it" thing? Not buying it. I'm going to stop ranting and let Gavin McInnes take it from here...
This is going to leave a mark.
"Being raised by a single mom is generally terrible for children," a description for the video reads on YouTube. "[T]hese women desperately want to be considered 'cool' but they're miserable, selfish and lying to themselves."
"This isn't about you, it's about the kids. So grow up. Being a single mom sucks," Mr. McInnes, who left Vice in 2007 after 13 years with the company, argued in the video, The Blaze reported Friday. "It sucks for everyone, especially the children who you brought into this world."
Ouch. But it's true. The best guarantor for personal success, not defined by me but defined by evidence, is if you were raised by your mother and father. According to this article, you're also probably more intelligent if you were raised by mom and dad. For the exact reasons Gavin stated. Children need balance. Children need mothers to nurture, care for, smother with love and affection. Children need fathers to provide for them, play with them (yes, mom's play too), and sometimes be "bad cop." Balance. Support. #FathersMatter
The new idea from the feminist left is that children don't need dads. It's even one of the tenants of the gay-rights movement, that children don't need both a mom and a dad, that two mommies or two daddies should suffice. Wrong.
Here's the macro issue here, and then we'll be done with this topic until it arises again: why am I even having to WRITE that children need both a mother and a father? For sure, some SJW crapmoneky will leave a comment that I'm a horrible human being for daring to suggest a biological reality. How dare I suggest that children raised by single mothers are worse off. How dare Gavin McInnes say single motherhood is bad for children. SINGLE MOTHERS ARE HEROES!!!
No they're not. Frankly I'm a bit tired of the party line. Single mothers face a tough battle, sure, but that doesn't make them heroes. The problem Gavin and I have with this broad featured in the video is her blatant attempt to change the narrative of her own life, by trying to make single motherhood "cool." I get that sometimes you want to put a positive spin on something. Really, I do. But in this case, no. The personal success of children is at stake here. This isn't about what is "cool."
What do you think? Are Gavin McInnes and I horrible people for daring to suggest kids should have moms and dads? Tweet me at @Courtneyscoffs. I'll just ignore you, but maybe it'll make you feel better to rage.
Mom Goes Viral Unapologetically Cheating to Win Race - Louder With Crowder ›


I wanted to do Parashar Lake trek since a long time but I was unable as my "Friends" were not ready for this trek. Then I heard about Hippy Traveller who oragnizes Group treks every weekend and I decided to join this group. Our trip started from Majnu Ka Tila from where we have boarded the Volvo for Mandi. Volvo was really comfortable and distance got shorten with amazing group chit chats. We Reached Mandi early in the morning and checked in to hotel for fresh n up and breakfast. Hotel is budget hotel but enough to fulfill our requirements. After Breakfast we boarded taxi to reach Baggi Village from where we need to start our trek to Parashar Lake.
Parashar Lake lies 49 km north of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, India, with a three storied pagoda-like temple dedicated to the sage Parashar. The lake is located at a height of 2730 m above sea level. With deep blue waters, the lake is held sacred to the sage Parashar and he is regarded to have meditated there. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and looking down on the fast flowing river Beas, the lake can be approached via Drang.
The temple was built in the thirteenth century and legend has it was built by a baby from a single tree. The lake has a floating island in it and it is said to be unclear how deep it is, with a diver not being able to determine its depth.
We started our trek at 11AM with one bottle of water and lots of energy. The trek goes from Baggi village through lush green step farms into dense forest crisscrossed by mountain riverine the elevation rises regularly and at some places its steep climb to give you a great adventure taste.
Finally we reached Parashar Lake at 04PM after taking short breaks in midway. Our Maggie & Tea was waiting at the top which really refreshed us after this tiring trek. Parashar Lake view is amazing and it give you picture perfect views of Himalayan Range if you like to do photography. After sunset, we enjoyed light music and bonfire in evening. Later on a delicious food prepared by our trekking guide and over night stay in our sweet little camp.
Morning view of Parashar Lake is amazing and it's a must visit place for every travellers.
After breakfast, we started trekking down to Baggi Village from there we transferred to Mandi by Taxi. We got fresh N up in same hotel and spend our evening in exploring Mandi by our own. We boarded the Volvo in night and reached Delhi next day.
I started this trip as Solo Traveller but ended this trip as group trip. I loved to trekking with Hippy Traveller and I recommend you also to go for this trek.

Public have their say on clinical trials gateway
This is already doing the rounds on twitter but I thought I would share the email/letter that I have sent out to those who took part in the survey….
I am pleased to let you know that the results of the UK Clinical Trials Gateway (UKCTG) Patient and Public Survey conducted last summer have been published today by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). You can read the full report on the NIHR home page here:http://www.nihr.ac.uk/Pages/default.aspx .
Over 600 people took part in the on-line survey and it is clear from their response that UKCTG is seen as a welcome and important initiative. The challenge is to ensure that UKCTG meets its full potential from a patient perspective in the coming months and years. The main findings from the survey are as follows:
• 83% of respondents identified themselves as a patient or carer.
• 80% had not heard of the UK Clinical Trials Gateway (UKCTG) before receiving the survey.
• Only 28% had taken part in a clinical trial.
• 38% said they knew little or nothing about clinical trials and would like a clear and
reliable source of information to learn more; 56% said it would help them or someone
they care for explore opportunities to take part in a clinical trial now or in the future.
• 64% said they would like to find out about trials recruiting in their local area.
• 66% said they found UKCTG 'easy' or 'very easy' to find their way around the site, 28% rated it as only 'satisfactory'.
• 67% said they found the information provided on the site 'very clear' or 'fairly clear'. • 72% said that UKCTG should help them make direct contact with a clinical trial without going through their doctor.
• 88% of patients said the site should provide people with relevant links to patient
groups, medical researchers and funders, which are relevant to a clinical trial study. • 88% said they would recommend the site to others.
The report of the survey includes recommendations to UKCTG on how it should be developed to better reflect the priorities of people interested in finding out about, and taking part in, clinical trials. Recommendations are made in the following areas: Vision and Strategy; Awareness and Promotion; Facilitation and Recruitment; Content and Ease-of-use; Access and Marketing and; Public Involvement/User Panel. In my introduction to these I talk about the need for UKCTG to adopt an operating philosophy which is much closer to the growing appetite and expectations of patients when it comes to research:
"Inherent in the survey findings is a challenge to the UKCTG to align itself ever more closely with the priorities and needs of patients looking for research opportunities. At the core of this is a desire to see the UKCTG evolve its current model as a simple 'information provider' to that of a more interactive patient partner, which helps supports their choice to participate in a trial or not."
This opens up many exciting possibilities and I am looking forward to working with you in supporting UKCTG to develop a a bold vision and direction for the future. A key element in this process will be the new 'User Panel' and your thoughts on the most effective way to establish this which captures and maintains people's enthusiasm are most welcome. In the meantime I would urge you to continue to promote the site and the downloadable 'app' through your networks and in your conversations with patients, members of the public and research colleagues.
My thanks again for taking part in the survey. I shall be writing again in due course to those of you who expressed an interest in joining the UKCTG User Panel.
….more on this tomorrow.

New Mediterranean/Middle Eastern on its way. Couldn't see the interior, but sign says they are going to serve falafel and shawarma. It would be such a great boon to have a slammin' falafel place nearby.
Sounds like it would fill a void in the area. Where exactly is it -- is it in the first block after Roosevelt?
Yes, it is on the east side, About halfway up the block on the other side of Roosevelt. There's also a new Japanese ice cream roll/crêpe place going up there as well.
The name of this restaurant is "Zaytoun," which upon looking up is Palestinian for the word "Olive." So, yes, I think this will be a welcome and gap-filling culinary addition to the neighborhood.
Curious to see what this is either way!
does anyone else remember Greek Captain, which was on 82nd in the '90s? really tasty, cheap seafood -- a spinoff of an Astoria place.
I remember Greek Captain, used to get take out from them. If I remember right, they had huge portions for a very reasonable price.
We've been on a falafel kick- best right now are to buy either the balls or frozen mix at Trade Fare on 89th and make them ourselves. My 9 year old just had Mamoun's of West Village. 4 came in a bag- I called them Downtown Nuggets! Wish that were an option here.
We just bought what claimed to be a falafel sandwich from a cart on 73rd, next to the delicious award winning schwarma carts- it was not falafel. Some kind of breading chopped and fried like they do to chicken. Next time I go by, I'm going to ask him why he sold us that.
Looking forward to Zaytoon. I was hoping it was the upscale deli style eatery in Lower Manhattan. Just checked and that's Zeytuna.
Caffe Bene sells fried ready-to-eat falafel balls in the refrigerated section. Around $6 for a tray of 10 or 12.
Some falafel carts throw the balls on the grill and then chop them. That way the product gets mixed throughout the salad in the rolled pita. I prefer it that way.
If you are trying to go vegetarian, ask the grillperson to clean the grill; they will scrape it but some animal fat is still going to transfer onto your falafel.
Sounds like we've got falafel covered.
Missmarty you must try Pahal Zan in Forest Hills. By far the best falafel. The place is super tiny but the food is outstanding and the owners are so sweet!!
Very happy that Zaytoun just had their grand opening yesterday. I didn't have a chance to try the food, but they were very friendly when I stopped by to grab a menu & congratulate them. Family run business. Bright & clean inside. The salad bar area looked clean & fresh. I'm looking forward to trying the food....& wishing them the best of luck!


Computer Software Engineer Jobs – Are You Interested in a Career As a Software Engineer?
Computer software engineers are responsible for using mathematics and computer science in order to develop and test computer programming. They will have the primary responsibility of developing a number of different programs, which can include word processing applications and computer games, in addition to operating systems and network applications.
Computer engineering professionals will first analyze the needs of their clients, and then they will create a detailed set of algorithm instructions which can include programming, although this will usually be outsourced to computer programmers. Applications software engineers will often use raw codes such as Java, in order to create applications software, while system engineers will often help a corporation organize its operating systems.
Systems software will usually require a lot of tinkering in order to make sure that it can be utilized effectively by corporations, and engineers will frequently need to modify operating systems and programming in order to meet the needs of their clients.
These individuals will usually work in teams which can include marketing departments, manufacturing, engineering, designers, and artists, in order to work together to bring a software product to market.
System software engineers may work alone depending on the size of the business that their servicing, and they may have assistants underneath them in order to perform the more routine tasks of installing operating systems and other systems applications.
These individuals will frequently work 40 hours a week in clean and comfortable office environments, although they may experience repetitive motion strain and back discomfort. Most employers will require a bachelor's degree and experience in computer programming, and four fifths of all software engineers had at least a bachelors degree.
In 2006, software engineers had about 850,000 jobs in America, with most working on applications, and about a third working on systems software. A minority of these individuals are freelance computer programmers. Job prospects overall are expected to be quite good and this field will be one of the fastest areas of growth in America over the next decade.
In 2006, the middle 50th percentile of these professionals made between $63,000 and $98,000, while computer systems engineers made more at between $68,000 and $105,000. In 2007, Robert Half Technology reported that software engineers made between $66,500 and $99,750 annually.

Interview | Country Head, MBDA, Loïc Piedevache
When you consider L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd only made its debut at the previous edition of DefExpo, you can see the strength of our commitment to 'Make in India' and the level of investment made by MBDA and L&T to mature our JV.
Most global companies are incorporating autonomy and Artificial Intelligence in their future programmes. In terms of R&D, what have been the new developments at MBDA?
MBDA is a pioneer in the field of autonomy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and can be considered a global leader in these technologies. Several of MBDA's existing systems incorporate elements of autonomy or AI as an aid to human decision making or to enhance system performance. MBDA's excellence in this field was recognised in 2019 with the prestigious 'Ingénieur Général Chanson national engineering prize' for work with AI.
What are your on-going programmes with the Indian armed forces?
We have numerous on-going programmes across all branches of the Indian armed forces. One highlight is that MBDA is the main weapons provider for the Rafale aircraft, where our role is to provide the platform with game-changing combat performance. Unquestionably the most famous is the Meteor, the ramjet powered and network-enabled beyond visual range air-to-air missile that is widely recognised as a game changer for air combat. No less game-changing for the Indian Air Force (IAF) is the SCALP stealthy air-launched cruise missile that also forms part of the Rafale weapons package. This potent weapon will give the IAF an unrivalled and flexible tool to conduct deep strike missions at long ranges against even the most protected of hostile targets. MICA meanwhile provides both the Rafale and the newly upgraded IAF Mirage 2000 aircraft with a uniquely flexible approach to air combat.
What future programmes are you looking at in the short term and the medium term, across army, air force and navy?
We are currently targeting several new procurement programmes for the Indian armed forces, and aim to do so through L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd, our joint venture with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for the delivery of 'Make in India' projects. There are currently three main projects we are pursuing through the joint venture (JV). These are our offer of ATGM5, the world's only true 5th Generation Anti-Tank Missile, as an Indian Designed Developed and Manufactured (IDDM) product under the 'Make in India' programme. ATGM5 offers many unique capabilities, including being truly network enabled, a multi-purpose warhead with selectable effects, and high-performance seeker technologies. The JV is also offering Exocet MM40 Block 3 for the Indian Navy's Medium Range Anti-Ship Missile (MRAShM) requirement, the latest version of the venerable Exocet missile already in service with the Indian armed forces, which has improved electronics and an extended range. In addition the JV's is competing for the Indian Navy's Short-Range Surface to Air Missile (SRSAM) requirement where in its Request for Proposal (RFP) response it has just offered Sea Ceptor, a high-performance and modern air defence system that offers excellent protection against all air threats and provides easy platform integration and many space, weight and safety benefits compared with older systems. In addition, where we already have one system in service on one Indian platform, we look to expand our presence onto multiple Indian platforms so that the Indian armed forces can take advantage of the operational, support and training benefits of utilising common weapon stockpiles across multiple platforms.
When you created the JV with L&T, it appeared that several programmes were about to begin. However, that has not happened. Do you think it is disheartening for the JV? Or do you have reasons to be optimistic?
L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd is moving forward at rapid pace, and has just submitted its first bid (RFP) to the Indian armed forces. The JV's offer of Sea Ceptor, the latest generation of naval air defence system, is its RFP response for the Indian Navy's Short-Range Surface to Air Missile (SRSAM) requirement, and is offered with the aim to 'Make in India'. Two further programmes-ATGM5 and MRAShM-are currently at the Request for Information (RFI) stage. When you consider L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd only made its debut at the previous edition of DefExpo, you can see the strength of our commitment to 'Make in India' and the level of investment made by MBDA and L&T to mature our JV. We expect to make further exciting announcements on the rapid development of L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd later this year.
Are you still working with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)?
Certainly, we have regular engagement with the DRDO.
MBDA has a long history of working with the Indian armed forces. What advantage does this give you vis-a-vis your competitors?
MBDA has been actively working in partnership with India's government and public/private industry to build India's defence industrial capabilities for over 50 years–during which time MBDA and India have co-operated to build many tens of thousands of missiles in India. MBDA is recognised world-wide as an absolute leader in the field of missile technologies. We are also recognised as being the only truly integrated multi-national company in the defence sector–co-operation is in our DNA in a way that is unique in the defence sector, and particularly in the field of missiles. This makes us uniquely able to partner with India, to work with the DRDO, the Indian ministry of defence (MoD), and to support the development of India's public and private defence-industrial capabilities. We have the technological knowhow needed to transform India's industry, we have the experience of making partnerships work for the long-term, but most importantly, we also have the right attitude–we view our relationship as one of true partners, not of buyer and seller.
With reference to 'Make in India', what is your level of engagement with the Indian industry? What kind of eco-system have you created and to what extent is it part of your global supply chain?
MBDA is fully committed to 'Make in India', which is in full accordance with MBDA's long-term partnering strategy with India that goes back over 50 years. We have extensive links with Indian industry in both the private and public sector. Today for example, there is extensive manufacturing by Indian industry of 15 major subassemblies of the MICA missile. MICA arms both the IAF's Mirage 2000 and the soon-to-arrive-Rafale fighters, but these sub-assemblies are manufactured for our global supply chain not just for India. These sub-assemblies impressively cover a wide range of complex technologies such as hi-specification mechanical, electrical, electromechanical and pyrotechnic items. Similar transfers to build India's defence-industrial capabilities has also occurred on the Mistral and ASRAAM missiles, including transfer of technology (ToT) for setting up industrial capabilities for missile final assembly and integration testing.
Given your worldwide experience, what do you view as the limitations of the Indian defence procurement procedure? What needs to be done to create a sustainable defence industrial base in the country?
For many decades now MBDA has been working with India's defence industrial base, and we can see great successes in this history that has created sustainable capabilities within India.
The Indian ministry of defence says that changing the location of DefExpo for each edition is to encourage wide-spreading of the defence-industrial ecosystem. From the global original equipment manufacturer's (OEM's) perspective, how useful or cumbersome is this approach?
We are looking forward to DefExpo 2020 in Lucknow.
