Over Marvel's decades of history there have been some brilliant moments... but also some absolute shockers, ones that really don't deserve adaptations.
With the upcoming Avengers: Endgame looking set to change the landscape of the MCU forever, the House of Ideas will be looking for plenty of new tales to bring to the big screen.
However, there are a fair few that definitely shouldn't be given a space anywhere close to the spotlight, whether it be because of their utterly revolting nature, or the way that they twist characters into things that they simply should not be.
The main problem with both Civil War comics is really the fact that they always end up demonizing one of the two heroes involved in the conflict, with Iron Man in particular emerging worse for wear in Mark Millar and Steven McNiven's original comic book crossover.
In the second of these event books, the two sides are battling over a new Inhuman, named Ulysses, who has the ability to predict the future, with Captain Marvel trusting the visions completely, and Stark being a little bit more apprehensive.
This time Danvers was the one who came out seeming like a villain, having imprisoned innocent citizens and fellow superheroes alike (based off of the aforementioned visions), her interventions often causing the situations they were supposed to avoid, in one case even creating a villain who later appeared in Jessica Jones' solo series. Yet, Iron Man wasn't out of the clear either, the character torturing Ulysses in order to test his powers, another less than heroic moment.
So, if Marvel want to keep one of their soon to be biggest on-screen characters in the good book of fans, then they really should avoid adapting this story.

Agricultural research open house attracts plant and food people
by iced jamb
Normally Chapman Field – site of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Subtropical Horticulture Research Station at 13601 Old Cutler Road – is a quiet, private workplace for scientists specializing in subtropical fruits and ornamental plants.
One day a year, however, the Chapman Field research station holds an open house and welcomes the public. The 2011 event took place on June 4, attracting several hundred people to tour the facilities and view displays. Those who came were a plant-savvy lot, asking lots of detailed questions and expressing appreciation for the locally grown fruits that Chapman Field has helped to introduce to South Florida.
The visitors learned what's behind the Chapman Field station's perimeter fence that parallels Old Cutler Road between Coral Gables and Pinecrest: experimental groves and plantings of trees, shrubs, and grasses being tested for their adaptability to South Florida's climate, soils, and other environmental characteristics. Those that thrive and have commercial appeal are eventually released for public use.
A gene bank
"We're a gene bank," explained Alan Meerow, a research geneticist whose specialty is tropical ornamental plants. "Instead of seeds, we collect and grow whole plants. It's another way of preserving the genetic resources of important plants."
The Chapman Field station is one of 22 national germplasm repositories. It houses national collections of cultivars (plant varieties with desirable characteristics) of mango, avocado, cacao, banana and plantain, Annona, Tripsacum, sugarcane and related grasses, palms, and some minor tropical crops.
In agriculture as in many other fields of endeavor, knowing what won't work is every bit as important as knowing what does. On a bus trip around the station, Meerow pointed out many of the trees and plants growing there. He described the research being done with them, highlighting both successes and failures.
Avocados at risk
Of particular interest was a group of avocado trees with various combinations of colored rings painted around their trunks, testimony to the battle against the redbay ambrosia beetle. This exotic pest is believed to have entered the U.S. in 2002 through the Port of Savannah, Georgia, in a shipment of wood from China.
"The beetle bores into trees in the laurel family and farms a fungus inside the tree," Meerow said. "In an effort at self-protection, the tree walls off its infected conducting tissue, eventually killing itself. It's a serious problem, because many laurels are major rainforest canopy trees."
Already the ambrosia beetle has attacked stands of red bay trees from Georgia down through Florida to the margin of the Everglades. Avocado, a major crop in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, also is in the laurel family and is at risk.
One protective measure being tested at Chapman Field is the fungicide Alamo, but Meerow cautions that it's a "systemic" poison that enters the fruit, making avocados from Alamo-treated trees unfit for human consumption. A more helpful approach would be identifying avocado varieties with genetic resistance to the beetle and fungus, and making those resistant varieties readily available to growers.
Plant genes and fruit flies
Visitors also took guided tours of the station's new two-story, 32,766-square-foot laboratory building. It houses sophisticated equipment that researchers use to extract DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from plants and identify their genes. Although this process has been known since the mid-20th Century, the early research was done using cumbersome hand-held equipment, often one sample at a time. Now, using automation and robotics, the scientists at Chapman Field can process hundreds or even thousands of samples in a single day, speeding up the pace of research.
In the building's chemistry lab, equipment isolates and identifies chemicals attractive to the Mediterranean fruit fly, a notorious exotic pest that eats citrus and many other kinds of fruit. Chapman Field obtains sterile male fruit flies imported from a breeding lab in Guatemala.
In one series of experiments, staff member Rick Joseph cuts off the heads of living flies, attaches them to thin glass rods, and exposes them to various chemicals. A gas chromatograph-electroantennogram detector records the flies' responses. "A severed head continues to react for about an hour," he says.
Frozen lychees
The 2011 open house featured lychees, which seem to be all over town this year at farmers markets and front-yard stands as South Floridians enjoy a bumper crop. Nine different varieties of lychees grow at the research station: Bengal, Brewster, Calcutta, Hanging Green, Large Early Red, Mauritius, No Mai Ts'z, No Mai Tun, and Peerless.
The open-house planners intended to offer visitors a taste of each variety and then encourage them to fill out a survey to determine the three most popular varieties. The problem with their plan was that the lychees were pre-picked in advance and frozen until open-house day to keep them from spoiling.
The lychees in some of the buckets were so frozen that they weren't amenable to peeling. Others could be peeled but were so cold that they had little or no detectable flavor. Many visitors who attempted to taste did not try all the varieties, and many didn't fill out the survey forms. As a consequence, whatever results the survey yields won't be particularly accurate or meaningful.
The open house also included plant sales, food vendors, and educational booths presented by state and federal agriculture agencies.
A long history
For more than a century, the Chapman Field research station and its precursors have been responsible for the introduction and development of many favorite South Florida plants and fruits.
It began as a plant introduction garden on a six-acre site near Brickell Avenue in 1898. In 1914, it moved to the Buena Vista area north of downtown Miami. In 1923, it relocated again to its present site at an Army Air Corps base named for Victor Chapman, the first American flier to die in France during World War I.

We can learn a lot from baseball
By UTU Assistant President Arty Martin
While watching the Major League Baseball Game of the Week Saturday between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, I was reminded of how important history and heritage are.
Prior to the start of the game, a special guest of the Red Sox was honored — 100-year-old Arthur Giddon, who had been a bat boy for the old Boston Braves as a 13 year old, 87 years ago. The Braves, until they left Boston for Milwaukee in 1952, were in the National League, while the Red Sox have remained Boston's American League team.
Arthur was a bit slower as an honorary bat boy during Red Sox batting practice on Saturday, but no less enthusiastic in handing bats to sluggers Kevin Youkilis, Jason Varitek, Jason Bay, and David Ortiz.
Wearing uniform number 100, with the name "Big Pappy" on the back (not to be confused with Ortiz' nickname of "Big Poppy"), Giddon and almost 40,000 Boston baseball fans celebrated a game that has long been the American pastime, linking generations and strengthening family ties.
As a Red Sox official observed, "Baseball is a celebration of generations, and a celebration of bringing them together." The parallels with the UTU, its history and heritage, are significant.
In the UTU, our roots run deep. Our predecessors are the ones we humbly thank today for labor laws protecting our right to organize, the requirement that employers bargain in good faith and the appointment of neutral arbitrators to hear our grievances.
UTU predecessor organizations were formed when the predominant mode of transportation in America was the horse.
In the generations that followed, rail — and later bus and aviation workers — looked to the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers & Firemen, the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, the Switchmen's Union of North America, the International Association of Railroad Employees, and the Railroad Yardmasters of America (all now part of the UTU) for job security and improved wages, benefits and working conditions.
Our roots run deep, and our heritage was built on personal sacrifice and success. Our future — the future of our members and their families — will prosper, as baseball in Boston has prospered, by celebrating our heritage and never forgetting who brought us to the dance. Indeed, we can learn a lot about life, progress and success from baseball.
President Futhey, General Secretary and Treasurer Thompson and myself encourage all UTU members to take the time to learn of our history and heritage and what it means to you and your families.
This year is the UTU's 40th anniversary, although the roots of our predecessor unions stretch back more than a century.
We will be celebrating our roots and history at the regional meetings this summer. You owe it to yourselves and your families to be educated and involved.
I also remind all members to attend the regional meetings in San Francisco and New Orleans, where our heritage, along with many other leadership topics, will be discussed in workshops.

With less than two weeks to the 2019 general elections, the international community has deployed various missions to observe the electoral process closely.

Sirleaf made the promise when she was received by the vice president of ECOWAS Commission, Finda Koroma, at the Presidential Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja. She was also received by other members of the commission and some representatives of the ECOWAS Parliament.
"I hope to meet with political leaders, I want to be able to understand the role I have to play to make sure that I am well prepared to carry out the function.
"I am pleased that it is an ECOWAS assignment and I will be working with them (ECOWAS Commission) and they will guide me and I just expect that I will join all Nigerians to make sure that this whole process is so peaceful and successful. That is the purpose of my mission."

She said: "I cannot make a statement till I have had an opportunity to be able to share in the findings of earlier missions, to consult with those who have been on ground.
"At a later date, the ECOWAS Observer Mission will be fully engaged, will carry out its functions and speak when it is time to speak."
The electoral assistance to member states has been a vital part of the ECOWAS approach to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the sub-region.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the federal government welcomed the statements from the United States and the United Kingdom demanding credible and peaceful election in Nigeria and threatening punitive measures against election riggers and perpetrators of electoral violence.
In a statement issued in Ilorin on Friday, January 24, the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the federal government is delighted that the statements came after it alerted the nation, "to the machinations of some opposition elements who are working to scuttle the 2019 polls through widespread violence."

It's 2 pm in Bengaluru. The regional managers of Big Basket, the Bengaluru based online grocer, are busy filling the refrigerator-like vending machines the company has installed in apartments and offices around the city.
The automatic vending machines are operated via Big Basket's standalone app, BB Instant. The vending machines can store around 50 SKUs including dairy, onions, packet juice etc. "We replenish the products around 4-5 times a day," a regional manager in Bellandur said.
"The kiosks are conveniently put up in the common area of the apartments. You can open the door using the app and take the products. The cash will be deducted from your payment system once the door is closed. It's like having a small convenience store that's open round the clock. On top of that, the kiosk comes with all the temperature zones," said V S Sudhakar, co-founder, Big basket.
After attracting USD 300 million from Alibaba earlier this year- the highest funding till now- Big Basket is looking for new ways to reach customers.
"With competition coming from all sides, one of the key focus areas for us over the last year and a half has been to maintain the leadership position and remain a cut above the rest," said Sudhakar. According to a Kalagato research, Big Basket has a 35.2% market share (as of March 2017) followed by Grofers and Prime Now (Amazon) at 31.5% and 31.2% respectively.
Sudhakar said Big Basket does a monthly business of Rs 300 crore (USD 42 million), up from Rs 200 crore (USD 28 million) in February. "The goal is to bump it up to Rs 500 crore per month (USD 70 million) by June 2019," he said.
Big Basket bought a controlling stake in smart vending machines firm Kwik24 in July and rebranded it as BB Instant. Big Basket has installed 25 BB Instant kiosks in Bengaluru, with 3,000 more to follow in the next six months.
"We will invest around Rs 25 crore in the BB Instant business. The kiosks will be installed across the country. Customers need not look beyond Big Basket as far as the grocery and household needs are concerned," he said.
From the beginning of 2018, Big Basket has been on the lookout for "meaningful acquisitions to add value to the company's product proposition." Amid talks of Big Basket acquiring Gurgaon-based rival Grofers, it completed two acquisitions this year to expand its portfolio from delivering packed and branded grocery products to offering milk and vegetables.
In October, Big Basket completed the acquisition of Pune-based RainCan and Bengaluru-based Morning Cart to go into micro-delivery business. Branded as BB Daily, it currently operates in seven cities where it delivers milk and vegetables early morning.
Sudhakar said although the BB Instant allowed the company to have a physical footprint without investing much in the real-estate, the company really wanted to get into a new line of business that would enable it to reach customers in more than one ways.
The micro-delivery market has caught the fancy of many players due to its high repeat order potential. Bengaluru-based Daily Ninja- which deals in milk and grocery- raised an undisclosed amount from Matrix Partners India, Sequoia India and Saama Capital in September and USD 3 million from Saama and Sequoia in June this year.
Even e-commerce titans such as Flipkart and Amazon have their sights set on milk and vegetable delivery. In May, Amazon's grocery business wing, Prime Now, expanded its portfolio to include vegetables and fruits. In October, Prime Now bought 49% stakes in Aditya Birla Group's supermarket chain 'More' which owns 500 physical stores across India. The US-based retail giant is also in talks to buy stakes in Spencer's Retail and Kishore Biyani's Future Retail.
Grofers, after raising USD 61 million from SoftBank and Tiger Global earlier this year, closed its fresh vegetables section recently. Noida-based micro-delivery startup Mr Needs (milk delivery) has shut shop as well. Sudhakar said the low shelf-life of such products pose a big risk.
"Till now we have been selling the tetra pack milk, but fresh milk has a really low shelf life. We decided, if we want to get into this before the competition does, we must acquire companies who are already doing it. It would have taken us a long time if we had started doing it all on our own," Sudhakar said.
Customers should order milk and vegetables from the BB Dalily app before 10 pm and would get fresh milk and vegetables delivered by 6-7 am next morning.
The average amount of transactions per month for Big Basket, claimed Sudhakar, is between Rs 1800 to Rs 1900, with a frequency of more than once in two days. "BB Daily users can order vegetables and fruits from the app as well which in turn adds to the average order value of the milk basket," Sudhakar said. With already in the lead in terms of market share, Big Basket looks to get head and shoulders above the competition as swiftly as possible.
"We are going to be on a crazy speed now. We see BB Instant and BB Daily as two innovative and interesting methods to reach out to more customers," said Sudhakar.


Do you think browser bookmarks and folder Favorites are kinda the same thing? I feel they are. Like we bookmark our favorite and frequently visited websites on our browsers, we can also pile our favorite folder locations under the Favorite section (left pane aka navigation pane) on Windows 7. With that done, users can easily reach their important folder directories with a single click.
You know how to add folders to Favorites, right? If not, let me tell you that you can simply drag a folder and leave it over the Favorites section to create a link there.
Or, when at a favorite location, right-click on the Favorites section and choose to Add Current Location to Favorites.
Well, have you ever tried a similar thing with some file or an application that you wanted to pin to the Favorites section? It does not allow you to add them. Yep, only for folders, files and programs don't get the favorites' love.. not through the default way at least.
There're of course workarounds. Things like Dropbox and SkyDrive appear in that section due to a different type of configuration and that's exactly what we are going to explore today.
The process is as simple as creating a shortcut for a file or a program and then adding it to the list of entries in the user's Links folder. You may choose multiple ways of doing that. But, for the sake of simplicity we will take an example and discuss the easiest possible way.
Step 1: Open an instance of Windows explorer and navigate to the .exe location of the application that you wish to add here. For example, we will take Notepad. The 'application' file type of Notepad can be found in the system32 folder in your C: drive.
Step 2: Open another instance of Windows explorer and navigate to your Links folder. The address should be C:\Users\Username\Links. Or you can launch the Run dialog and type links and hit Enter.
Step 3: Now, hold the application file (here, notepad.exe) with the mouse button, drag it to the Links folder and leave it there.
Simple, isn't it? Close all the instances of Windows Explorer and when you open one next time, you will be able to spot your favorite application in the list.
Don't you think this would allow you to open your favorite applications on the go? I mean, you don't even have to leave the explorer, or look for it on the Start Menu, or search it on your cluttered desktop. It worked wonderfully for me and I hope it does for you as well.


Are private schools selling pipe dreams to students' parents?
During one of my journeys to Montreal, my hometown in Canada, I had the chance to meet a Chinese who was supposed to be studying in Canada, yet he was working at the counter of a Subway outlet in downtown Montreal.
It was the first time in four years our 6 year old had been able to have a face-to-face chat with her Chinese great-grandfather. However, they were in different countries this time and it was WeChat that finally brought the mountains of Gansu province closer to our flat in the UK. Great-grandfather proudly showed us the last of his apple harvest.
Straddling the banks of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, Chongqing is a vast and rapidly developing city in Southwest China. I first moved here from Zhejiang a little over five years ago, and have seen urban transformation unfold before my eyes.
The tourist industry in China has been transformed into a lucrative venture during these five years of current Chinese Government. I would highly recommend a trip to both the foreigners and Chinese from other parts, to gain knowledge and could learn something valuable from the history.
China has proven its economic insight through a huge investment in Asian countries but the domain is not just limited to Asian, European, African countries but the new emerging market in Latin American countries.
The first time I came to China, obviously, I was astonished by how different my country was compared to it.
People that haven't visited China often consider it an intimidating place to travel, let alone live, as a foreigner. "Why China?" everyone asked when I announced I was moving to Beijing last year. It's not a question asked of those who move to London or Paris.
The life of an oncologist is special among doctors of other specialties, and being a female doctor makes this more unique.
Once I arrived in China, it was my dream to learn tai chi and kung fu and master the techniques of martial arts.
I think by now you have a fair idea about how China has developed so fast while at the same time maintained its culture and tradition.
As a Malaysian, I was lucky to get the chance to run Beijing Marathon this year, one of the top class marathon races in China. I enjoyed it in my own way, but it maybe a little different compared with my fellow Chinese runners.
"The main sculpture of the Buddha in this cave is 16.8 meters tall and it was carved between 460 and 470 AD. This is the second-largest sculpture here," tour guide of the Yungang grottoes, Daton city, Shanxi province, said.
When I get a chance to return to my native London, it seems almost lethargic by comparison. There is a famous saying, "He who is tired of London, is tired of life." It should be updated to read "He who is tired of London should go to Shanghai." There one will see energy, optimism, creativity and glimpse what the future will look like in the economic capital of what will surely soon be the world's largest economy.
Is the Chinese identity crumbling?
It is common, a practice as old as humanity itself. So many express easily their opinion on others, as it is, unbridled, generally without a full knowledge of their history, the backgrounds. It is even worse when the viewpoint concerns a foreigner, often a deluge of biases and assumptions, once in a while, half-truths.
With a successful start in October 2013, we have made the dream of "International Education" a reality.
On the 31st of August 2012, as I landed my feet on Chinese ground, I started to breathe in the air coming from the breeze. It was familiar. I felt so excited to be back in China, though that time was for my studies.
I envy my friends who grew up in Beijing, because they remember their childhoods. When I immigrated to America, I was old enough to miss China, but not to remember it. My homesickness never manifests in yearning for a particular place. Instead, I have moments of paralysis, when I go still at the conviction, I have been here before.
During the 2017 Spring festival holiday period, I was lucky enough to be invited to stay with the family of a close Chinese friend in the countryside of Yong He, north of Lanzhou in Northwest China's Gansu province.
Having just ordered a little after-dinner snack serving of dumplings from the local restaurant, I sit on one of the small, flimsy chairs and wait for them to be freshly prepared. The scene here tonight is usual for local Chinese restaurants: waitresses yelling to each other about mixed-up orders, the sound of the kitchen at work, and customers eating and talking in equal measure and vigor.
I am a self-professed shopaholic and traveler.I vowed someday to work in China so I could see and shop more.
One cannot deny that food is one main source of our happiness and it is indeed our thirst for survival. China won my heart when it got through my stomach.
Arriving to Beijing hasn't been an easy step in my life, not even small, since the first moment I stepped on this land I was exposed to a new language, which I didn't understand anything so that was Chinese great wall, it was impossible for me to ask directions, order food, communicate with people, therefore I didn't feel in home.
China became the world's biggest market for industrial robots in 2013, surpassing Japan. In 2016, China manufactured 72,000 industrial robots, around a quarter of global output. According to a report released by the Chinese Institute of Electronics on August 23, 2017, it is estimated that more than 110,000 robots will be sold by China for industrial use in 2017.
Without a doubt, China has succeeded magnificently in its development of the online market and E-pay systems. In this area, I look forward to bigger and better things inChina's future.
China, a land of incessant development, has been continuously reaching the milestones deemed impossible by rest of the world. In the last five years, China has developed dramatically in all sectors under the leadership of President Xi Jinping.
For China the five-year interval since the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Congress in 2012 has been marked by remarkable changes both internationally and domestically. China was the world's leading power for more than a millennium until aggression by foreign powers beginning with Britain's First Opium War in 1839 began the period of China's national humiliation.
China is known around the world for manufacturing and production of goods. The phrase 'Made in China' has become synonymous with China's rise as an economic powerhouse in the world.
Everyone has a narrative. A narrative full of diverse choices and paths which led them to be who they are today. For that reason, I will start by saying never believe any prediction that does not empower you.
Sometimes we take a decision that completely changes our lives. When I decided to come to China to learn Chinese 4 years ago at the age of 21, I did not realize that I was taking such a big step.
Since I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend to backpack. We traveled from Beijing to Shanghai to Xi'an to Anhui to Sichuan to Guilin and to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks.
I was not much of an adventurous person before coming to China. Back home, I spent my whole life at work, and therefore, I had so much stress that I could ever imagine.
I met a student from Africa on my first year of study in China. He was majoring in architecture at the time, and after conversations with him, I saw his ardent passion for his field. Living in China for more than 5 years, he showed evidence of how quickly China developed over a short period of time.
Beijing. It is a hot July afternoon. I am in the heart of the city, in bustling Guomao, a district that is all dressed in glass. That's the place where one can feel the pulse of the city, hear its sounds which, for the most part, are cars honking, people talking on their phones, and yellow and orange bikes behind you beeping to let them pass.
I've lived in China for close to 10 years and I get asked quite often by family and friends — mostly skeptics — why I have been here for such a long time. I tell them there are a plethora of reasons why I choose to stay in China, one of the world's oldest civilizations. It wasn't love at first sight, but over time that love has blossomed into something beautiful. I can now confidently say China is my second home.
Want to launch a global career? Go to China!
Last Thursday, as my plane was about to take off, I realized that day I had breakfast in New York, lunch in Washington D.C. and dinner in Miami. What's more, I travelled by car, train, bike and plane in less than 12 hours.
The first response from my academic colleagues in The Netherlands when I announced I would study innovation in China in 2004 was, "That must be a short project!" Today the world is embracing China as an innovation nation, one where residents have a "ringside seat to entrepreneurial development", according to Thinkers50.
My love for Chinese culture was increased many times once I was introduced to calligraphy, Chinese literature, martial arts, tea culture and Chinese economy.
As a foreigner myself I must admit that since 2015, when I moved to Chongqing, not a single week has passed without hearing news of cultural events being organized throughout the country.
So there I was in Linzi district, standing under an enormous statue of the Qi emperor and facing a television camera. The director patiently but urgently repeated the Chinese words I was supposed to learn on the spot, while 12 other people representing the television station and the local government looked on.
China has made giant leaps in the medical field, as it has done in other fields.
In one year I have learned a lot here and still this journey continues, with promising prospects.
This overwhelming event came to be an experience that marked me profoundly in China.
To be frank, I was hesitant to write an article about China's National Holiday. I attribute my apprehension to the fact that I have written several articles emphasizing the amazing achievements that China has been able to attain since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
Life is full of challenges and hurdles, but hard work, resilience and consistency is the key to success.

Q: Compare two files using linux commands I want to compare two unordered but similar data files. Is it possible to do so in linux. Is yes the how?
For example the contents of my first file are:
a=5 b=10 c=78
a=8 b=11 c=75
a=8 b=11 c=54

And the contents of my second file are:
a=8 b=11 c=75
a=5 b=10 c=78

Now want to find lines which are there in File 1 but are not there in File 2 or vice versa. That is, I want to find the difference between two files. Is it possible to do so using linux commands like grep, etc. Here the difference between two files is:    a=8 b=11 c=54

A: Use diff!
First, sort both files:
sort a > a.sorted
sort b > b.sorted

Then apply diff to them:
myaut@panther:/tmp/files> diff -u a.sorted b.sorted
--- a.sorted    2015-02-28 20:01:46.066305657 +0300
+++ b.sorted    2015-02-28 20:01:49.299210198 +0300
@@ -1,3 +1,2 @@
a=5 b=10 c=78
a=8 b=11 c=75
-a=9 b=12 c=54

Each line in diff output may be preceded with - of + sign. In this example:

*

*- means that marked line missing from file b, but exists in a.

*+ will be shown if line exists in b but is not present in a.

A: First sort your file as mentioned by myaut and use sdiff, it will show both files in 2 pan in screen and lines with difference will be marked with characher | in the dividing space in between the 2 pans.
cat file1 | sort > file1_sorted
cat file2 | sort > file2_sorted

sdiff file1_sorted file2_sorted | more

A: If you have vim installed, try:
vim -f filename1 filename2
This will show you difference between two files in GUI form (Visualize).

Guidelines For Making a Perfect Press Release
by prdbossadmin
With the emergence of online marketing, the press release became even more important in public relations. If you run a new or newer business that needs a good distribution of information quickly, online press releases are the solution. Being inexpensive to have written and distributed online, all you need is to make it high quality, newsworthy and viral.
Catchy, Attention-Grabbing Title
Being in a larger font, and bold, the title is almost always what readers notice first. The title acts like a filter, it may both attract and repel, depending on how intriguing it is. Do not try to make it too short, nor too long, but put the most important info prior to the rest. Do not include calls to action, remember it's a press release, that would be for use in the body text.
First Paragraph is The Lead-In
The first paragraph needs to be short, simple, straightforward, but still convincing. Outline the main idea for the release, so people will get a clue about the topic and be encouraged to read further. Optimal length for the first paragraph is between 50 and 80 words. However, once you make it, read it many times and try to find a way to improve it. The first paragraph is the keystone of each PR, it conveys whether people will really be drawn to it or feel like they have been duped into reading it by a catchy title.
The whole article has to include all the relevant info, but the main purpose of it is to enable the reader to remember and take action sooner or later. Respect the reader's time. PR's that are too long will deter most people. The ideal length for a press release is between 400 and 600 words. However, different industries may vary in the length required to get their points across, so you can check what other businesses in your industry do, follow and track their press releases, but don't stick too much to their guidelines. Make your writing style at least a bit different.
Organization of The Press Release
Press releases need to be made readable from any aspect. Once you write a PR, read it carefully to detect any grammar or style errors, useless content and repeated facts. The whole article needs to be newsworthy, every single sentence, a sequence of sentences which draws readers to keep on reading.
Paragraphs and Highlighting
Most people who read anything online, no matter if it's a blog, press release, instructions or other, don't like to see a box filled with text as it is in novels. Make small paragraphs of 50 – 200 words. Large paragraphs should appear in the second half of the release, these will be useful to those more familiar with the topic. Highlight the basic info and data, things which people look for the most, e. g., if it's a product, include its features and technical parameters.
The last paragraph may include calls to action, links to the info about your company and its other products, or a quote from you or your company's key people, which is intended to be the message targeting the press release readership.

187 F. 2d 180 - Winrod v. Macfadden Publications
187 F2d 180 Winrod v. Macfadden Publications
WINROD,
MacFADDEN PUBLICATIONS, Inc.
United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
Feb. 8, 1951.
L. H. Vogel, George C. Bunge, Chicago, Ill., for appellant.
Loy N. McIntosh, Kenneth B. Kirk, Chicago, Ill. (Gann, Secord, Stead & McIntosh, Chicago, Ill., of counsel), for appellee.
Before MAJOR, Chief Judge, and KERNER, and FINNEGAN, Circuit Judges.
FINNEGAN, Circuit Judge.
On August 4, 1943, the appellant, Gerald B. Winrod, brought this suit to recover damages arising from the publication and distribution of an alleged libelous article in a weekly magazine known as 'Liberty,' published and distributed by the appellee corporation, MacFadden Publications, Inc. The action was originally filed in the Superior Court of Cook County, and because of diversity of citizenship, was removed to the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.
The complaint alleged that during the month of August 1942, the defendant published its certain issue of said Liberty magazine, which issue bore date of August 8, 1942, copies of which issue were distributed and sold by the defendant in Cook County, Illinois, in all of the states of the United States, and in many foreign countries; that in said issue of said Liberty magazine, bearing date of August 8, 1942, defendant composed, published and distributed, concerning the plaintiff, 'false, malicious and defamatory matter.' The alleged defamatory matter is set forth in the complaint, and it is charged that the defendant meant thereby, and maliciously intended, and was understood to mean by persons reading the said article, that the plaintiff was disloyal to the United States and was a traitor to his country, and that he was a Nazi agent. Plaintiff prayed judgment for $100,000 actual damages and an additional $100,000, punitive damages.
Defendant answered and set up:
First, The Statute of Limitations, Chap. 83, Sec. 14 of Illinois Revised Statutes of 1943, alleging that copies of the August 8, 1942 issue of Liberty magazine were placed in the United States mail for delivery to regular subscribers on July 18, 1942, and were placed on sale and sold at newsstands and periodical counters throughout the United States on July 29, 1942, more than one year prior to August 4, 1943 when the action of plaintiff was filed;
Second, That the publication complained of is not actionable 'per se,' and
Third, That the allegations on the merits in the complaint are not true.
After filing this answer the defendant moved for a summary judgment, which motion was denied by the District Court on September 17, 1945. See Winrod v. MacFadden Publications, Inc., D.C., 62 F.Supp. 249.
In that decision, 62 F.Supp. 249, the District Court held that so far as the complaint was based upon the original publication by the defendant, or with reference to sales of the August 8 issue of Liberty magazine by persons other than defendant, the complaint would not lie. The court said, 62 F.Supp. on page 253:
' * * * the only cause of action upon which plaintiff may base his suit is upon the copies sent out subsequent to August 4, 1942. Upon that question the plaintiff's cause of action must stand, and upon that question plaintiff is entitled to a trial herein.
'The order of the court will be that the motion for summary judgment be denied, with leave to plaintiff if he so desires to amend his complaint.'
On October 14, 1948, the plaintiff filed an amendment to his complaint, which so far as it is material on this appeal, alleged: 'That in the months of July and August, 1942, the defendant published its certain issue of said Liberty magazine, which issue bore date of August 8, 1942, and sold and distributed copies of said issue of Liberty magazine in Cook County, Illinois, in all of the states of the United States, and in many foreign countries; that between July 29 and August 4, 1942, inclusive, and on each of said days, and for several weeks thereafter, the defendant by itself and its agents and employees and through dealers and distributors, distributed and sold, and procured and caused to be distributed and sold, large numbers of copies of said Liberty magazine to diverse and sundry persons in Cook County, Illinois, and in each of the states of the United States, and in the Dominion of Canada, and in many foreign countries; that in said issue of said Liberty magazine bearing date of August 8, 1942, the defendant composed, published and distributed concerning the plaintiff false, malicious and defamatory matters * * * .'
Defendant amended its answer, adopting its former answer in its entirety and specifically denying the above allegations.
In the meantime, and on April 14, 1948, the Appellate Court of Illinois in and for the First District, Second Division, released for publication its opinion in Winrod v. Time, Inc., 334 Ill.App. 59, 78 N.E.2d 708. Leave to appeal from this opinion was denied by the Supreme Court of Illinois, 336 Ill.App. XIV.
In an annotation: 'Publication of libel for the purposes of the Statute of Limitations, 1 A.L.R. (2d) 384, the editor says in a note: (p. 393) 'After an exhaustive examination of the authorities involving the factual situation mentioned (sending out additional copies after original publication) in the text, and other pertinent cases, the court in Winrod v. Time, Inc., 334 Ill.App. 59, 78 N.E.2d 708, which involved the text situation, expressly recognized that there is a line of judicial reasoning supporting the application thereto of the traditional view that each independent publication of a libel creates a new cause of action for purposes of the running of limitations, but deliberately adopted the so-called 'single publication' rule.'
The Illinois Appellate Court said in the Winrod case, 334 Ill.App. on page 72, 78 N.E.2d on page 714: 'The choice is thus cast between the reasoning of the dissenting opinion in Wolfson v. Syracuse Newspapers, Inc. (279 N.Y. 716, 18 N.E.2d 676), which was adopted by the district judge in Winrod v. MacFadden Publications (D.C., 62 F.Supp. 249), and the vast majority of cases which hold that the release of miscellaneous copies incidental to the general publication either through the mail or on newsstands does not constitute a new publication or create a new cause of action. We prefer the reasoning of the majority decision. The interval of time or a separate sale should not be the sole determining factor whether the article is a republication or a repetition of the defamatory material.'
Since federal jurisdiction in this case depends on diversity only, we are bound to follow the rule announced in Winrod v. Time, Inc., 334 Ill.App. 59, 78 N.E.2d 709, leave to appeal denied, 336 Ill.App. XIV; Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 58 S.Ct. 817, 82 L.Ed. 1188.
On October 14, 1948, the following order was entered by the District Court:
'The parties having waived trial by jury with respect to the issue of statute of limitations only, and agreed in open court to the separate trial thereof,
'It is Hereby Ordered that the issue of statute of limitations shall be tried separately by the court sitting without a jury; that all other issues of which trial shall be necessary shall be tried by a jury at a later date, and that the separate trial of said issue of the statute of limitations is hereby set for Wednesday, October 20, 1948.'
The hearing on the separate trial on the limitations issue was held on April 25, 1949. On May 18, 1950, the District Court adopted the suggested findings of fact and conclusions of law proposed by the defendant, and also the order for dismissal of the cause submitted by defendant. The matter, however, was continued until May 25, 1950, on plaintiff's motion.
On May 25, 1950, the court entered the following findings of fact:
'1. The defendant had completed distribution of the August 8, 1942 issue of 'Liberty' magazine on July 29, 1942.
'2. The plaintiff has submitted no evidence showing the sale, mailing or delivery by defendant of a single copy of the August 8, 1942 issue of 'Liberty' magazine after July 29, 1942, said latter date being the final publication date.
'3. That this action was commenced on August 4, 1943, by the filing of a complaint in the Superior Court of Cook County, Illinois.'
The Limitations Act of Illinois provides that actions for slander or libel shall be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrued. Smith Hurd's Ill. Ann. Stat. Ch. 83, Sec. 14.
The Supreme Court of Illinois said in Davis v. Munie, 235 Ill. 620, on pages 621-622, 85 N.E. 943, on page 944:
'Statutes of limitation are statutes of repose, intended to prescribe a definite limit of time within which the remedies included within their provisions must be prosecuted. They are designed to afford security from stale demands, when, from lapse of time, death of witnesses, failure of memory, loss of vouchers, and other causes, the true state of the transactions may be incapable of explanation and the rights of the parties cannot be satisfactorily investigated. Whether the cause of action has accrued within or without the state, the reason for the statute is the same, and the legislature has seen fit to make no distinction.
' * * * The statute itself has fixed the time when the cause of action accrues. This expression is not one of doubtful meaning. It means when facts exist which authorize one party to maintain an action against another.'
In the face of this Statute and in disregard of the decision of the Appellate Court of Illinois, on April 14, 1948, adopting the so-called 'single publication' rule, the plaintiff six months later, on October 14, 1948, amended his complaint so as to charge that between July 29 and August 4, 1942, inclusive, and on each of said days, and for several weeks thereafter the defendant 'distributed large numbers of said Liberty magazine, etc.'
On the same day, after answer to the amended complaint was filed, he stipulated that the issue of the Statute of Limitations be tried separately by the court without a jury.
Such separate trial has been had and the court found from the testimony and exhibits that the plaintiff has submitted no evidence showing the sale, mailing or delivery by the defendant of a single copy of the August 8, 1942 issue of 'Liberty' magazine after July 29, 1942, said date being the final publication date.
This finding is supported by substantial evidence; in fact, it is, in our opinion, the only possible finding that could be made on the evidence produced at the hearing on the limitations issue.
There has been a complete failure to sustain plaintiff's allegation that after the publication of the alleged libelous matter on July 29, 1942, there was a republication in any state, or possession of the United States, or in any foreign country.
The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
KERNER, Circuit Judge, concurs in the result.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Google Inc. will stop censoring its search results in China and may pull out of the country completely after discovering that computer hackers had tricked human-rights activists into exposing their e-mail accounts to outsiders.
The change of heart announced Tuesday heralds a major shift for the Internet's search leader, which has repeatedly said it will obey Chinese laws requiring some politically and socially sensitive issues to be blocked from search results available in other countries. The acquiescence had outraged free-speech advocates and even some shareholders, who argued Google's cooperation with China violated the company's "don't be evil" motto.
The criticism had started to sway Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who openly expressed his misgivings about the company's presence in China.
But the tipping point didn't come until Google recently uncovered hacking attacks launched from within China. The apparent goals: breaking into the computers of at least 20 major U.S. companies and gathering personal information about dozens of human rights activists trying to shine a light on China's alleged abuses.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the Google allegations "raise very serious concerns and questions" and the U.S. is seeking an explanation from the Chinese government.
Google officials also plan to talk to the Chinese government to determine if there is a way the company can still provide unfiltered search results in the country. If an agreement can't be worked out, Google is prepared to leave China four years after creating a search engine bearing China's Web suffix, ".cn" to put itself in a better position to profit from the world's most populous country.
"The decision to review our business operations in China has been incredibly hard, and we know that it will have potentially far-reaching consequences," David Drummond, Google's top lawyer, wrote in a Tuesday blog posting.
Abandoning China wouldn't put a big dent in Google's earnings, although it could crimp the company's growth as the country's Internet usage continues to rise. China's Internet audience already has soared from 10 million to nearly 340 million in the past decade.
Google, based in Mountain View, said its Chinese operations account for an "immaterial" amount of its roughly $22 billion in annual revenue. J.P. Morgan analyst Imran Khan had been expecting Google's China revenue to total about $600 million this year.
Although Google's search engine is the most popular worldwide, it's a distant second in China, where the homegrown Baidu.com processes more than 60 percent of all requests.
Free-speech and human rights groups are hoping Google's about-face will spur more companies to take a similar stand.
"Google has taken a bold and difficult step for Internet freedom in support of fundamental human rights," said Leslie Harris, president of the Center for Democracy & Technology, a civil-liberties group in Washington. "No company should be forced to operate under government threat to its core values or to the rights and safety of its users."
It's "an incredibly significant move," said Danny O'Brien, international outreach coordinator at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an Internet rights group in San Francisco. "This changes the game because the question won't be 'How can we work in China?' but 'How can we create services that Chinese people can use, from outside of China?'"
Many Web sites based outside China, including Google's YouTube video site, are regularly blocked by the country's government.
Google's new stance on China was triggered by what it described as a sophisticated computer attack orchestrated from within the country. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., praised Google for disclosing chicanery that "raises serious national security concerns."
Without providing details, Google said it and at least 20 other major companies from the Internet, financial services, technology, media and chemical industries were targeted. The heist lifted some of Google's intellectual property but didn't get any information about the users of its services, the company said. Google has passed along what it knows so far to U.S. authorities and other affected companies.
The assault on Google appeared primarily aimed at breaking into the company's e-mail service, "Gmail," in an attempt to pry into the accounts of human right activists protesting the Chinese government's policies.
As part of its investigation into that incident, Google stumbled onto another scam that was more successful. Google said dozens of activists fighting the Chinese government's policies fell prey to ruses commonly known as "phishing" or malware. The victims live in the United States, Europe and China, Google said.
Phishing involves malicious e-mails urging the recipients to open an attachment or visit a link that they're conned into believing comes from a friend or legitimate company. Clicking on a phishing link of installs malware – malicious software – on to computers.
Once it's installed on a computer, malware can be used as a surveillance tool that can obtain passwords and unlock e-mail accounts.
Google's unfettered search results won't necessarily ensure more information will be made available to the average person in China because the government could still use its own filtering tools, said Clothilde Le Coz, Washington director for Reporters Without Borders, a media watchdog group.
"The Chinese government is one of the most efficient in terms of censoring the Web," she said. The blocking technology has proven so effective that it's become known as the "Great Firewall of China."

Welcome to Becoming a changemaker! This week, we distinguish between simple, complicated and complex problems. Social innovation takes place in complex systems and complex systems have complex or "wicked" problems, like the kinds of problems the world is trying to tackle right now such as climate change, HIV Aids and other pandemics, poverty and inequality. A complex system has many variables or elements such as different sorts of people, material and rules and those elements of the system are interacting with each other so much that the complexity increases exponentially. So the work of complexity is about bringing yourself into the system, engaging with it, living with it and innovating in yourself as you innovate in that system that you're working in. You can't look at the whole system but you can look at more than one piece of it. The more you start to bring in different parts of the systems, you can then start to connect those in ways that they weren't connected before.
complex systems have complex problems.
climate change, HIV AIDS another pandemics, poverty, inequality.
I started looking at, one could call, more simple problems.
I was really interested in maternal and child health.
And specifically why so many newborns, neonates, were dying across the world.
So by no means a simple problem, and yet definitely a complicated problem.
But my approach to it as a medical doctor was a technical one.
of newborn deaths, prematurity, asphyxia, infections.
But the deeper I got into working in these kinds of situations.
the social reasons, the economic reasons, the political reasons.
These problems don't have simple or complicated solutions to them.
Rittel and Webber in the 70s, called Wicked Problems.
And wicked problems have several key characteristics.
of the problem or its root causes.
the actual view of that problem and its causes isn't clear.
And therefore, the approaches we take to them are not entirely well laid out.
could have very divergent world views of what the problem is in the first place.
And what it means to us is a clear definition of a wicked problem.
what the value is of that child and that child's life to our society.
So the clear framing of what the problem is, is already contested.
a fixed set of solutions readily available to how we might solve them.
mean those same set of solutions is going to be solved in another one.

And no single solution is certainly going to solve it.
there isn't a final end point.
There isn't a final solution.
there will always be children unfortunately who die in the world.
the real root causes of why that existed in the first place, may still be there.
living in what kind of life?
A life of dignity, a life of hope, a life of opportunity.
We'll always be working with the complexities of those problems.
Is likely to be a symptom of some other problem.
is that there is a dynamic at play.
