Flight to UK from Poland diverted to Prague after a 'possible bomb' was found on board
An EasyJet flight heading to the UK from Poland has been diverted to the Czech Republic after a 'possible bomb' was found on board.
Flight EZY6276 from Krakow to Bristol was an hour into its two-and-a-half-hour flight when it landed at Prague's Vaclav Havel Airport at 10.50pm on Sunday.
Prague Airport tweeted: 'There was reported a possible bomb on board an aircraft.
'All actions to ensure the safety of passengers and all air traffic are currently being carried out by Police of the Czech Republic.'
Czech police said 'pyrotechnicians' had been sent to the scene in order to investigate and dispose of the suspicious device.
It is thought passengers were taken off the plane while a search was carried out by police investigators.
Prague Airport officials later added that 'no dangerous object was found on the plane after the pyrotechnic inspection.'
EasyJet's website shows a follow-on flight was arranged for some passengers taking off from Prague shortly after 11pm local time heading to Bristol.
A second follow-on flight is currently scheduled to take off at 12.35pm today and arrive in Bristol shortly after 1pm local time.

I have to keep hunting ball despite risk of yellow, says Beirne
Tadhg Beirne
By Cian Tracey
October 8 2019 11:00 AM
Tadhg Beirne plays the game in such a manner that the reality is he will always leave himself vulnerable to the referee's interpretation of the breakdown.

Rugby round up Newsletter
Game previews, plus expert insights and exclusive commentary from the Belfast Telegraph sports team.
The 27-year-old's reputation has been growing rapidly over the last few years and that has largely been down to his ability to steal opposition ball.
There is far more to Beirne's game than that one aspect, but his jackal threat is what really separates him from other locks.
Acting almost as another back-rower, the Co Kildare native is given the freedom to go after the ball as much as possible with Munster.
Making the considerable step up to international rugby means that it is much more difficult to be as effective in that regard, especially when he has to fit into a more rigid system.
Coming into the World Cup, there were concerns that Joe Schmidt didn't fully trust Beirne just yet, but having featured in all three games thus far, it is fair to say that is not the case.
Even after Beirne was shown a yellow for a breakdown infringement on his World Cup debut, Schmidt stuck by him.
Perhaps that was an acknowledgement on the Kiwi's part that some calls will not go your way, or rather Schmidt recognised that it was a harsh decision by Wayne Barnes to send Beirne to the sin bin in Ireland's opening win over Scotland.
Ask Beirne if that was the case and his wry smile is followed by tight lips.
"That's not for me to decide," he said. "It was close to the line. It's still a yellow at the end of the day. I came on in the second game and got stung for another penalty, but I thought I did bring a bit of energy, and then I thought I did reasonably well against Russia.
"I was a bit disappointed to get the yellow against Scotland. I've been slowly hitting my form a bit and hopefully I can step it up again this week."
Another referee would have taken a different view of the breakdown but, even still, Beirne knows he has to be more street smart.
"I was probably silly when I look back on it," he added. "I personally thought I was on the ball straight away but my right hand wasn't on it and I was in there for quite a while. I probably have to be a bit smarter myself. If I hadn't gotten it at that stage it probably would have been more clever to let it go. But it definitely won't stop me going after ball if the opportunity arises.
"That's the nature of the game. I can say I regret it but I still have to go after those balls. This one went against me but I just need to be a bit more clever."

Putnam Plastics Corp. (Dayville, CT), is commercializing a proprietary process for manufacturing custom monofilament fibers up to 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) in diameter from nylon, polypropylene and other materials.
The goal is to use the large diameter medical monofilament for x-ray and MRI applications as a metal replacement.
Oriented, large-diameter fibers provide substantial strength for applications requiring x-ray transparency or non-magnetic properties for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), according to Putnam Plastics.
Custom manufacturing monofilaments between 0.025 inch (0.64 mm) and 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) requires increased extrusion volume and substantial draw down for orientation. This can present challenges in controlling diameters, maintaining strength performance and managing setup time and costs.
Putnam said it has overcome these challenges by developing a proprietary extrusion process for custom monofilament manufacturing that controls voids and diameters, resulting in more consistent product performance.
Putnam's custom medical monofilament fiber capabilities range from 0.001-0.100 inch (0.025 -2.54 mm) in diameter and are available in materials that include polypropylene, nylon, polyester, polyurethane and thermoplastic elastomers. These monofilaments are non-magnetic, transparent to x-rays, lightweight and high strength, making them suitable for tension components used in minimally invasive devices and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Putnam Plastics has more than 30 extruders in its medical extrusion facility in a range of sizes up to 2 inches (50.8 mm).

How pros get aero on their bike
By Dave Colley | 6 Minute Read
The likes of Team Sky, Movistar and Sunweb spend huge amounts of money and man hours refining their aerodynamics. But as you'll discover, there's more to it than plonking Froome and Valverde in a wind-tunnel…
"I wore a skinsuit in 1984 in a road race in the UK when I wasn't even 16 and got absolutely ridiculed in the changing rooms for wearing it. Then I pissed the competition off by winning. Now you won't see any time-triallist wearing anything but a skinsuit. I still think we have a fledgling understanding but there's definitely been a culture shift when it comes to cycling and aerodynamics."
The words of Christopher Miles Boardman when I asked the man known as "The Professor" for his meticulous attention to detail how long he's been interested – nay, obsessed – with aerodynamics or, in other words, riding faster for no extra effort.
Boardman's slipstreaming fascination continues to this day, most recently seen with the opening of the Boardman Performance Centre on the edge of the Cotswolds.
As well as offering physiological and biomechanical assessments, the 18,000 square-foot facility houses what's arguably the UK's first 'accessible', cycling-specific wind-tunnel. I visited recently and it's damn impressive, with Boardman's Everyman plan costing from £195.00 for one hour to £695.00 to a four-hour aero extravaganza. ("I wanted recreational riders to use a wind-tunnel for the price of a curry", he said).
Okay, that's one pricey vindaloo but you can see why Chris and many of his fellow aero enthusiasts are singing to the same aero melody - around 80% of your drag comes from you, 20% from your bike and its parts. Reduce the impact of both and arguably you'll enjoy greater gains than spending two-grand on a lighter wheelset.
It's why every WorldTour team – we're talking Sky, Movistar, AG2R La Mondiale etc – spends a good portion of the 'off-season' either in the wind-tunnel or circling the velodrome in search of aerodynamic gains.
Specific rider and gear data remains behind closed doors but, thanks to the likes of Chris Yu, Director of Integrated Technologies at Specialized, we've been given an exclusive insight into how the world's best will seek aero advancements this winter…
Refining the rider's position
"We have what's called the Specialized Racing Departmental Programme, which works directly with riders", explains Yu.
Specialized currently provide bikes and other gear for Peter Sagan's Bora-Hansgrohe, Astana and Quick-Step Floors. "We not only provide the equipment but the means to figure out the best way of using equipment specific to the goals of a team and athlete for that particular season".
An illustration of this is seeing how Specialized would work with a GC rider like Quick-Step's Enric Mas, who finished a surprising second at this year's Vuelta a Espana.
"Say he's targeting July's Tour de France...as soon as the route is announced, we'll begin dissecting how rider position and equipment can benefit the rider on the specific parcours" said Yu.
"Say we had a scenario where there's a critical time-trial in the middle of the race, which is undulating and about 40-45km, we'll calculate how we can optimise their aerodynamics and power output for an hour's riding".
"We'll start in the wind-tunnel – at Specialized we're fortunate as we have our own , the Win Tunnel – and we'll spend two days analysing that rider. Even for riders of their quality, they're tempted to hit extreme positions because the numbers improve, but if you can't hold that position for very long, it's worthless. In this instance, we'd need to hold it for an hour".
Yu and his team will not only focus on the TT position. To maximise resources they'll examine the rider to ascertain his most aerodynamically optimum position on the drops, hoods and tops for a range of different stages.
"We'll then send him away to ride at home and have follow-up sessions in January or February, but this time it'll be via on-the-road and velodrome testing. Essentially, we retest those positions but in a slightly different environment where they're racing their bike at race power".
Using aerodynamic gear
As we're sure you're aware, wind-tunnel time isn't solely focused on bike position. Wheel, bike, helmet and bike-clothing manufacturers all secure wind-tunnel time with the aim of making their products more aerodynamic (and to give their marketing teams something to shout about when it comes to advertising of course!)
Take Sportful, who made a big song and dance about spending £300,000 developing a skinsuit specific to Alberto Contador's body shape, utilising fabrics and material placement to smooth out airflow and send the Spaniard scything through the air with effortless speed. It worked, his time-trial time dropped.
Alex Dowsett is one of the world's best time-triallists. He briefly held the world hour record in 2015 and currently rides for Katusha-Alpecin. He told us his technique of constantly shrugging his shoulders brings them inward and makes him more aerodynamic.
That was down to working with aerodynamicist Simon Smart when he raced for Movistar (and we've got an exclusive interview with Simon if you're interested in learning more).
He's also adopted higher outer edges to his arm rests, which provides something to press against when pulling those shoulders in. In fact, Dowsett's a great exemplar of the recent aero focus that's been less about getting as low as you can go and more about narrowing the frontal profile.
"Things have certainly come on", he told us. "I remember Rod Ellingworth [Team Sky's High Performance Manager] looking at my bike at the national championships in 2013, almost sneering at my handlebar set-up and saying I gave away 30 seconds to [Bradley] Wiggins when I won the Giro TT because there were cables everywhere. I was also using an old set of bars that hadn't been updated in a while. It was frustrating to hear but I'm now in a much better position and use much better gear as a result".
Field testing everything
Dowsett's experience is not unique. Notoriously poor time-triallists Nairo Quintana and Romain Bardet have improved their weakest discipline over the past two years specifically due to data gathering, better equipment and the growing use of field testing.
"We complement wind-tunnel sessions with track and road testing", says aerodynamicist Xavier Disley, who's worked with GrandTour winners but can't name names.
We can say that he helped develop the NoPinz aerodynamic suit, worn by Lotto-Jumbo NL, the design of which caters for the fact airflow over your lower back is entirely different from the airflow over your forearm or front of shoulders.
"We use the Garmin Track Aero System. It's a hardware and software suite, and provides the session analyst with the riders' aerodynamic drag wirelessly every second as they ride around the velodrome. We conduct track sessions abroad but mainly work in Derby and Newport Velodromes in the U.K. It forms a vital part of the aero testing triad…".
Disley completes that triad with on-the-road aerodynamic assessments, using customised software that analyses wind and atmospheric conditions to calculates the rider's drag.
Specialized also test the WorldTour riders out on the road thanks to a number of technological advancements.
"As well as traditional sensors and tools like power meters and speed sensors, we load what we call "modules'" onto the top tube,' Chris Yu explains. "One is an infra-red laser module that tracks the torso and head while the rider is pedalling. The other is a lean angle sensor, which measures how much the rider is swinging the bike.
All these sensors feed information to a box on the bike, which is sent to a server. We can monitor it trackside or, if I'm not there for some reason, I can pick it up here in California and watch things in real time on a computer".
This combination of wind-tunnel time, velodrome feedback and road testing continues apace, with developments like the Boardman Performance Centre arguably the next step in the aerodynamic evolution.
By cutting costs, both professional and recreational riders will be able to spend more time in the wind-tunnel, further refining their position as their strength and stamina improves. And even for wealthy teams like Team Sky, saving money without sacrificing knowledge, gains and the racing edge is key.
Take CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). This involves measuring the air resistance of different shapes and has already transformed how experts design and create bikes, as well as impacting bike position and even how riders ride together.
"When testing team time-trial situations on CFD, as well as out on the road, not only did we find some riders are better suited behind others to minimise overall drag, the leading rider enjoys a drag reduction of around 3.5% from the rider behind", says Disley. "That's something to think about the next time you're berating your club mates for not taking a pull on your next Sunday morning ride!'


In 2014, 20% of the 824 males and 331 females who died on Australian roads lost their lives in crashes involving heavy vehicles. 16% of these fatalities were heavy vehicle drivers. According to government figures, the vast majority of serious and fatal car-truck accidents are caused by a minority of motorists making critical mistakes on the road.
The annual economic cost of road crashes in Australia is estimated at $27 billion per annum. The social impacts are even more devastating.
As a part of Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls long term planning strategy, the Organisation has adopted a zero tolerance to road crashes involving heavy vehicles and as such will continue with plans to educate, highlight and emphasize the need for responsible driving around heavy vehicles by hosting regular activities and on-line posts to promote the concept.
Road Safety Commissioner Kim Papalia has been given a 'truckie's eye view' of the daily life of road train drivers in the North West of Western Australia.
Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls Inc founder and CEO Heather Jones invited the Commissioner to climb aboard a three-trailer road train, and take the wheel on a return trip from Karratha to the Wheatstone Project in Onslow.

Seven Consulting backs independent women's soccer investigation
12 October 2021 Consultancy.com.au 3 min. read
More news on
Sponsor Seven Consulting has stated that it's pleased with Sports Integrity Australia's role in investigating claims against the Australian women's soccer team, after being shocked by the recent allegations of abuse.
Project delivery firm Seven Consulting – widely known for its association with Australian women's soccer team the Matildas – has backed Football Australia's decision to bring in independent body Sports Integrity Australia (SIA) to investigate the bombshell allegations of harassment and abuse made by former international striker Lisa De Vanna. Seven Consulting last year signed a three-year sponsorship extension until 2023.
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Declan Boyle, who founded Seven Consulting in 2002 after an earlier career start at PwC, said, "To have an independent group look at it is a very good step forward from Football Australia. We are glad it's being treated seriously and we are fully behind the Matildas with our support for the team and the players."
Detailed allegations of a culture of abuse within the women's team, which included claims of sexual harassment, indecent assault and grooming, were first aired in the Daily Telegraph last week, spreading shock among players and fans. In the interview, De Vanna claims she was pulled to the ground and dry-humped by fellow squad-members, and that she was once asked to join "two girls in the shower rubbing soap on each other."
While De Vanna's claims have been backed by others, including former teammate Elissia Carnavas, the current playing group has since responded, expressing sympathy in a joint statement and acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations but with many personally denying having experienced any cultural issues during their time with the team. Football Australia has said it would comply with any recommendations made by SIA.
Seven Consulting, which from offices in Sydney and Melbourne supports clients with program and project advisory and delivery along with a full range of PMO services, first signed up as an independent sponsor of the women's team in 2017 to help bridge the gap in funding between men's and women's football, before renewing its support last year in the lead-up to the FIFA Women's World Cup to be hosted in Australia in 2023.
The significance of that re-signing is that it followed a period of cost-cutting measures instituted at the firm in the wake of Covid-19 (which were enacted in a democratic fashion), and that as a smaller profit-sharing consultancy with approximately 100 professionals any sponsorship outlay would eat into individual incomes. Yet, according to Boyle, the original vote came back 95 percent in favour. "Everyone in the company is putting their hand in their pocket to support the team."
That close relationship, between a relatively smaller organisation and a sporting outfit on the international stage, is evident in other areas too. Post-sporting employment is an issue for many athletes, who spend the majority of their early years training and playing before reaching an abrupt retirement, often without other skills to fall back on.
To this end, Seven Consulting has been providing a number of Matildas with flexible career development opportunities, including West Ham midfielder Tameka Yallop, with a view to future employment.

Tag: Olympics
Should the 2012 Olympics be a wake up call for young people in Australia?
Looking through the newspapers on the weekend highlighted that many sport commentators are questioning the condition of the Australian Olympic team. But it was the comments about the "Gen Y" training style from Eddie McQuire, Shane Gould and Suzie O'Neil that drew my attention. Their thoughts about the swim team that indicated that the tough training schedule of previous generations had been relaxed to suit the Gen Y culture. There were several other writers who commented about how distracting it was for athletes to engagement with Social Networking. At least from the number of medals won it hasn't paid off.
It seems that many of the successful countries in these Olympics have not given in to "Gen Y culture" in their training techniques. Whilst many people question the "medal factories" in China, countries like Great Britain and the USA still demand a lot from their athletes even if they are Gen Y. There are even some commentators who point out that Australia Gen Y athletes have only grown up in the super investment period leading up to the Sydney Olympics. The reality is that the funding is drying up or at least slowed down in many sports. Whilst the Australian athletes are doing their very best, there isn't a Gold medal for everyone at the Olympics.
Whilst the articles in the weekend paper were focused on sport, the reality is that the globally trend of young people having the pick of jobs is over. In his book "Generation Y" Peter Sheahan believed that Gen Y had forever changed the corporate culture, yet the bubble may have burst due to the economic downturn. In many countries, perhaps except Australia, youth unemployment has gone back to at least 20%-30% which means young people can't be as picky with where they work. Young people are again having to take work where and when they can get it rather than choosing where they feel like working. The dominance bubble that Gen Y and Youth Culture have had over the past 10 years may burst with the reality of economic crisis.
The wake up call is out there for young people, particularly in Australia, now that the choices are shrinking. In the economic boom Gen Y were able to buy everything they wanted, travel where ever they wanted and work where ever they wanted. During the sporting life of Gen Y Olympians there has been a boost in funding ever since 1996 in the lead up to Sydney 2000. Talk to a Gen Y Australian and they will tell you about where they want to work and what they want to do with their life. Talk to a Gen Y from Ireland, Greece, Portugal or Spain and they are just trying to find a job. My own hope is that it should be a balance of young people having options and young people having to earn their way to the top rather than have it handed to them.
This is not meant to be a beat up on our Olympic team or on young people in general. It just seems from observing the media on the weekend the landscape that young people are facing globally has changed and our young people have been sheltered from it because our economy is doing so well. It also seems that whilst young people may be natives in the technology landscape they are unaware of how distracting social networking can be to achieving in life. It seems that there are some important lessons for young people to learn from the experience of Gen Y athletes at these 2012 Olympic games.

Recueil des Croniques et Anchiennes Istories de la Grant Bretaigne, a present nomme Engleterre, par Jehan de Waurin [and William Hardy's translations of Wavrin's Collection of Chronicles and Ancient Histories of Great Britain]
Jean de Waurin (born circa 1398, died circa 1474), was a French chronicler, belonging to the noble family of Artois, and was present at the battle of Agincourt.
Afterwards he fought for the Burgundians at Verneuil and elsewhere, and then occupying a high position at the court of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, was sent as ambassador to Rome in 1463.
Jean compiled the Recueil des croniques et anchiennes istories de la Grant Bretaigne, a collection of the sources of English history from the earliest times to 1471. For this work he borrowed from Froissart, Monstrelet and others; while for the period between 1444 and 1471 the Recueil is original and especially valuable.
From the beginning to 688 and again from 1399 to 1471 the text was edited for the Rolls Series (5 vols, London, 1864–1891), by W. and E. L. C. P. Hardy, who also translated the greater part of it into English. The section from 1325 to 1471 was edited by L. M. E. Dupont (Paris, 1858–1863).
[Text adapted from Wikipedia, extracted 8 November 2010: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waurin]
Note: William Hardy's translation of the chronicle into English is available for the first part of the series, titled "Collection of the Chronicles and Ancient Histories of Great Britain, now called England". Unfortunately, volumes 4 and 5 are not available in translation.

The Rolls Series (officially The Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain and Ireland during the Middle Ages), provides one of the key resources for British and Irish medievalists. Published in the second half of the nineteenth century, the series consists of a total of 255 volumes and 99 separate works. In all, the series contains almost all the great medieval English chronicles in editions which often remain the standard works in print.

On the eve of President Barack Obama's trip to Panama for meetings with dozens of Western Hemisphere leaders, a new poll shows most Americans, including most Latinos, support better U.S. relations with Cuba, sanctions against Venezuela, and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
The first-ever msnbc/Telemundo/Marist poll finds that 59% of Americans, including 56% of Latinos, approve of the recent U.S. decision for diplomatic recognition of Cuba. The newly launched poll will regularly check the pulse of Latinos in the U.S. and how that compares to the country overall.
As compared to their views on the Cuba policy, Americans are slightly less supportive of economic sanctions on Venezuela for acts of violence and suppression against protesters. Just half of the country overall thinks it's an appropriate action, including 52% of Latinos who feel the same way. A slightly larger number of Latinos, 19%, think the sanctions are too strong compared to the 13% of the country overall who thinks the same.
The leaders of Cuba and Venezuela are among the 34 heads of state expected to join Obama at the Summit of the Americas this Friday and Saturday in Panama City. It will be the seventh meeting of its kind since the first one took place in Miami in 1994. The last meeting took place in Colombia three years ago.
With regards to the immigration impasse here in the U.S., nearly two-thirds of the country and more than four out of five Latinos said that Obama and Congress should address passing immigration legislation to create a pathway to citizenship.
"There is no doubt that for Latinos around the nation immigration reform is very important and something they want addressed soon," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
Not including a pathway to citizenship is a deal-breaker for more than half the country. Fifty-two percent said immigration reform should only happen if that piece is included in a legislative plan. That number, 49%, is slightly smaller among Latinos, with another 44% willing to accept reform that doesn't include that pathway. That figure is notably higher than the 39% of the overall population who said the same.
Obama's executive action on immigration policies has far more support among Latinos in the U.S. when compared to the population overall — 78% of Latinos said they approve of his action though 57% of the country overall said the same.
For those who disapprove of the president's executive action, more than half of them, among both the overall population and Latinos in the U.S., said they disapprove because he acted without Congressional authorization and not because they are against the substance of what he did.
There is a distinct divide in the sense of urgency on immigration reform between Latino Americans born outside of the U.S. and those born inside: 74% of those born in another country said immediate action is needed. On the other hand, 44% of those who are U.S.-born said the same.
A smaller divide between Latinos born in the U.S. versus those born elsewhere exists on the issue of a pathway to citizenship. Fifty-two percent of Latinos born in the U.S. said it's essential for any reform legislation. But among those born elsewhere, a smaller number, 46%, said that it's essential for reform.
The poll shows that urgency comes with a price for one political party in particular.
"If immigration reform stalls, Latinos are more likely to point a finger at the GOP in Congress over President Obama or the Democrats in Congress," said Miringoff.
In the poll, 43% of all Americans, including 46% of Latinos, said they'll lay most of the blame on Republicans in Congress if no agreement is reached by the end of 2016. That compares to just more than one out of ten, among both Latinos and all Americans, ready to blame Democrats in Congress and about a quarter would blame Obama.
This meeting of Western Hemisphere leaders is the first to take place since Argentinian-born Pope Francis became the first ever pope from the Americas in 2013. The poll found that 37% of the country said he has improved their opinion of the Catholic Church while 29% said he has made little difference in their opinion, which is nearly the same as what an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found last month.
The msnbc/Telemundo/Marist poll found that Latinos in the U.S. are more evenly divided with 32% saying Pope Francis has given them a more favorable opinion of the Catholic Church and the same percentage saying he has made no difference in their opinion.
Only single-digit percentages among both the overall population and among Latinos in the U.S. said Pope Francis has made their views of the Catholic Church less favorable.
The inaugural msnbc/Telemundo/Marist poll is jointly sponsored by msnbc and Telemundo and was conducted by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion from March 23 to April 5. The sample included 1,446 adults overall with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. The sample included 1,091 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points as well as an oversample of 362 Latino respondents with a margin of error of plus or minus 5.2 percentage points.

Q: Binding Synapse shortcut to key-release instead of key-press Background
So I've already referred a question that demonstrates how to bind the Synapse launcher to the "Super (Win) Key". (Can I change Synapse shortcut to Super/Windows key alone?)
The problem is that combinations involving the Super key now all launch Synapse.
I believe this is happening because Synapse is being activated on the button-press event rather than on the button-release event as would happen with, say, Unity or while using it on Windows.
Question
Is there any way in Ubuntu to bind a shortcut to the button-release event? That way I can use the Super button in other combinations, like "Super + D" for show desktop or something.
Environment
I'm using the Gnome (Compiz) Flashback session environment on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

A: ksuperkey worked well for me. I followed the instructions here:
https://blog.hanschen.org/2012/10/17/open-application-launcher-with-super-key/
Except, I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 + MATE, so what I did was:
a) Removed Alt+F1 as the shortcut for the MATE menu in Preferences --> Hardware --> Keyboard Shortcuts

b) Set Alt+F1 as the Synapse shortcut:
cat ~/.config/synapse/config.json       {
          "ui" : {
            "global" : {
              "ui-type" : "default"
            },
            "shortcuts" : {
              "activate" : "<Alt>F1"
            }
          }
        }

c) Installed and ran ksuperkey
ksuperkey now does the mapping from the release of the Win key (Super key) to Alt+F1, which triggers MATE to launch Synapse. At the same time, other combinations involving Win work fine without invoking Synapse. (In particular, I set up Win + M to minimize all windows and show the Desktop and that's important to me).
Note that ksuperkey is quite flexible and the can map the release of any key to send any key combination, not just Alt+F1 (the default).
d) Added ksuperkey to Startup Applications

Q: Attempt to read property "id" on null LARAVEL8 I'm new to laravel and I'm learning it from laracast.
Here is my problem, I'm creating a comment form and it's php code looks like this:

    <form method="POST" action="/post/{{ $post->slug }}/comments" class="border border-gray-200 p-6 rounded-xl">
        @csrf

            id() }}" alt="" width="40" height="40" class="rounded-full">

Want to participate?

            <textarea class="w-full text-sm focus:outline-none focus:ring"
             name="body"
             cols="30" rows="10"
              placeholder="Quick,think of something to say!" ></textarea>

            <button type="submit" class="bg-blue-500 text-white uppercase font-semi-bold text-xs py-2 px-10 rounded-2xl hover:bg-blue-600">Post</button>

this is the corresponding route:
Route::post('post/{post:slug}/comments',[PostCommentsController::class, 'store']);

Controller:, and I suspect there could be something wrong here 'user_id'=> request()->user()->id, and I tried numerous ways for this approach like auth()->id, Auth::user()->id
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;

class PostCommentsController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Post $post){

        request()->validate([
            'body'=>'required'
        ]);

        $post->comments()->create([
            'user_id'=> request()->user()->id,
            'body' => request('body')
        ]);

        return back();
    }
}

and this the migration table for comment
Schema::create('comments', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->foreignId('post_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
            $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
            $table->text('body');
            $table->timestamps();

migration table for post:
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
    $table->foreignId('category_id');
    $table->string('slug')->unique();
    $table->string('title');
    $table->text('excerpt');
    $table->text('body');
    $table->timestamps();
    $table->timestamp('published_at')->nullable();
});

If I click on post button I get the above error,tried my best to solve this problem but I couldn't. Can someone help me what's wrong with my code ?. My question may look naive as I'm new to stackoverflow community

A: use this code for controller
class PostCommentsController extends Controller
{
public function store(Post $post){

    request()->validate([
        'body'=>'required'
    ]);

    $post->comments()->create([
        'user_id'=> optional(auth()->user())->id,
        'body' => request('body')
    ]);

    return back();
}
}

user must logged in

A: first you must logged in
and in your route you must define your middleware if you are trying to get authenticated user's id like this
Route::post('post/{post:slug}/comments',[PostCommentsController::class, 'store'])->middleware('auth');

after that in your method/function inside controller use 'Request' class(not model class name) when you try to retrieve input from form
Laravel's 'Illuminate\Http\Request' class provides an object-oriented way to interact with the current HTTP request being handled by your application as well as retrieve the input, cookies, and files that were submitted with the request.
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;  //don't forget this
    class PostCommentsController extends Controller
    {
    public function store(Request $request){

        request()->validate([
            'body'=>'required'
        ]);

        $post->comments()->create([
            'user_id'=> auth()->user()->id,
            'body' => request('body')
        ]);

        return back();
    }
    }

Q: cannot access Tomcat7 admin interface I am trying to access the admin interface of tomcat7 on my machine without success.Here is the tomcat-users.xml file for the username and roles.
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
<role rolename="manager-status"/>
<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<role rolename="admin-script"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status,admin-gui,admin-script"/>

My system runs Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.

A: Because ubuntu has separated tomcat in different pkgs.
If you only exec apt-get install tomcat7,that means you just install the core pkg.
If you want to manage tomcat, that means you have to exec apt-get install tomcat7-admin.
And maybe you want to install many other tomcat7 pkgs, you can apt-get install tomcat7<tab><tab>, it will list other tomcat7 pkgs.
It's not over yet. Tomcat's webapps dir is default at /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/.
After you install tomcat7-admin, you have to copy the dir to /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ by using this command:
cp -r /usr/share/tomcat7-admin/* /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/
And you can find other tomcat7.* pkgs are all expand to /usr/share/${pkg_name}/ dir. Just copy them to /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/. It will works.

A: Your config file is not well-formed.
There is a closing tomcat-userstag missing. Try adding this line to your tomcat-users.xml:
</tomcat-users>


Nearly two-thirds of 50-64 year olds and 43 percent of those aged 65+ are now on Facebook -- which explains why your great aunt is poking you and potentially why the younger generation is decamping to Twitter.
The Pew Internet study, published this week, shows that in the US, social networks have never been more popular. Back in 2005, 8 percent of online US adults -- i.e. anyone aged 18+ with an internet connection -- claimed to use social networking sites while today that figure stands at a huge 72 percent.
Back in 2005 only Facebook and Myspace were flying the flag for social media but over recent years they have been joined by everything from Path and Pinterest to Google+ and of course, Twitter. Pew only started collecting data on the microblogging site back in November 2010 when just 8 percent of respondents were users, but now membership has more or less doubled to 18 percent in two-and-a-half years (Pew's figures are as of May 2013).
And while on the whole, social networks are still a young person's and a woman's game -- 89 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds are members of sites like Facebook and 74 percent of all female internet adults are social media users -- the older generation is catching up, quickly. Use by 50-to-64-year-olds has seen a ten-fold increase since February 2005, going from 6 percent to 60 percent, while the over 65s, who didn't come to social media until August 2006 (1 percent) are also moving into the social media age.
This could well explain why Twitter use among 18-to-29-year-olds spiked in 2012 and currently stands at 30 percent of the demographic, making them the service's biggest users. Only 17 percent of 30-to-49-year-olds, 13 percent of 50-to-64-year-olds and 5 percent of those aged 65+ are members, and the uptake in these groups has been very slow and steady over the past two-and-a-half years.
There is of course also the role of mobile. Though Pew's figures for its 2,252-strong sample group don't include statistics on smartphone ownership, Twitter has fast become a primarily mobile service and is therefore going to have a greater hold over those with mobile, internet-connected devices -- i.e., younger consumers.
Interestingly, though social media in general appears more popular with women, Twitter is a bigger hit with men -- but only just -- with 18 percent of all male online adults claiming to use the service compared with 17 percent of all internet-using women. In an earlier Pew study about social media the figures showed that among all of the top social media destinations, Twitter was the only site that had more male than female users and this is continuing to hold true.

Wrappers around web services offer an RDF representation of a content available at the original source. For instance, the SlideShare wrapper provides an RDF representation of a presentation page from the SlideShare web site. The GoogleArt wrapper takes the same approach for paintings and museums listed on the GoogleArt site. Typically, these wrapper would work by mimicking the URI scheme of the site they are wrapping. Changing the hostname, and part of the path, of the URL of the original resource for that of the wrapper gives you access to the seeked data.
From a linked data perspective, wrappers are doing a valid job at providing de-referencable URIs for the entities they described. However, the "de-referencing only" scheme makes them more difficult to query. Wrappers don't offer SPARQL end points as they don't store the data they serve, that data being computing on-the-fly when the URIs are accessed. To query a wrapper one has to rely on an indexing service harvesting the different document and indexing them. Something that reminds us of the way to find Web documents and for which the semantic web index Sindice is the state of the art solution.
But such external indexing service may not provide you with the entire set of triples or not allow to download big chunks of their harvested data. In that case, the best way to get the entire dataset locally is to use a spider to download the content published under the different URIs.
LDSpider, an application developped by Andreas Harth (AIFB), Juergen Umbrich(DERI), Aidan Hogan and Robert Isele, is the perfect tool for doing that. LDSpider crawls linked data resources, looking for triples it stores in a Nquad file. Nquads are triples to which a named graph has been added. By using it, LDSpider keeps track of the sources of the triples in the final result.

The final document "gartwrapper.nq" contains around 37k triples, out of which 1.6k are links to DBpedia URIs. More information about the data set is available through it CKAN package description. That description also contains a link to a pre-made dump.
This download technique is applicable to downloading the content provided by any wrapper or, in general, data set for which only de-refenrencable URIs are provided. However, we should stress that to ensure completness an seed URI listing all (or most of) the published resources: the spider works by following links so be sure to have access to well connected resources. If several seeds are needed to cover the entire data set, iterate the same process starting at every one of them or use the dedicated option from LDSpider ("-d").
