Q: var and storing last index of error namespace CosmosKernel2

I am making a simple OS to echo user's input. However, I am getting some errors. I see nothing wrong with creating a var index and storing the last index.

Q: AttributeError: 'YY' object has no attribute 'xx" let's say i have a class named YY that is the child of a parent class (ZZ) thus , YY should be heritating all functions and attributes of ZZ . But it is not the case for my code !
class ZZ:
    def __init__(self,xx):
        self.xx=xx

class YY(ZZ,AA):
    def __init__(self, référence,position):
        self.référence=référence
        self.position=position
    def nearest_position(self,matrix,a):
        for w in range (len(matrix)):
            if (matrix[w][2]==self.xx):
                #some codeee

def main():

   yy=YY('ab',23)
   yy.nearest_position(matrix,('ab',300))

it says that 'YY' object has no attribute 'xx' but xx should be heritated from ZZ. I'm really confused!

A: You must call super() on the parent class, and pass the appropriate parameter.
For instance, something like this:
class AA:
    pass

class ZZ:
    def __init__(self, xx):
        self.xx = xx

class YY(ZZ, AA):
    def __init__(self, référence, position):
        super().__init__(42)
        self.référence = référence
        self.position = position

    def nearest_position(self, a):
        return f'YOP: {a}'

yy = YY('ab', 23)
print(yy.nearest_position('ab'), yy.xx)

output:
YOP: ab 42

This travel company did an absolutely amazing job hosting our family in Argentina. Our agents were so attentive and made sure every aspect of our trip went perfectly. Everything operated precisely on time and they were willing to make any accommodations to make our trip ideal. We cannot say enough about their hospitality, wonderful drivers, tour guides, etc. They all made us feel so comfortable and took care of every need and detail!
We had so many memorable experiences. Our first night in Bueno Aries we took a cooking class, which was so much fun! We could hardly wait to get home and recreate what we learned and share it with our family members.
We had a wonderful tour guide in Bueno Aries who was very knowledgeable and so sweet! She treated us like family and we cannot wait to return the favor some day when she comes to visit the US.
We also loved our trip to Igauzu Falls! Our guide was fabulous and the experience was breath taking!
We had 7 days in Argentina and felt that Marcelo and Andrea did a great job making sure that we maximized our time.
We would not have done anything differently. Everything was perfect!
"...fantastic trip, excellent service from this Argentina travel company!"


I love wedding photography and portrait photography because I love working with people. Big people, little people, people celebrating their love or their growing family. Most of all I love photographing FUN people! I don't take myself too seriously and I like nothing better than having a laugh and a joke when I'm working!
I was trained using film and chemicals in a darkroom so I am a very strong believer in getting things like exposure and composition right in camera rather than relying on Photoshop to "fix" a poor image. That's not to say I don't use Photoshop, it's a fantastic tool for enhancing images, but you can't "polish a turd" as they say!
I do all my own post production, each shot is viewed and edited individually to ensure you get the best quality images in my signature style. It's also partly because I'm a bit of a control freak! My aim when editing is to keep the images clean and fresh, I don't use any Instagram style filters or effects such as selective colour. I want your images to stand the test of time, not look dated in a few years.
When it comes to taking photographs I understand that people are nervous and self conscious so I see it as my job to put people at ease as soon as possible so we can get on with capturing some amazing shots. I don't believe having your photograph taken should be a traumatic experience and if you trust me I promise we'll have a great time!
From the moment you contact me I am there to guide you through the whole process. Firstly, we meet up for a cuppa and a chat about your big day, nothing formal, just a friendly chat about your ideas, the venue, your colour scheme and ideas for your photography.
If you feel a little bit nervous about having your photos taken you might want to add on a pre-wedding shoot before the big day. It's a fantastic way for us to get to know each other better and to calm the nerves before the big day. We can go to the beach, have a picnic in the park or go to the pub, it's up to you! Just mention it when we meet.
On the wedding day itself I will capture the atmosphere and emotion of the day as well as all those special little details that make your wedding unique. I won't tell you what to do on your day and I won't shout at your guests (yes it does happen!) My aim is to tell the story of your big day in a relaxed and unobtrusive way to produce images that you will cherish for years to come.
It is a joy to photograph families and in particular small children. I love capturing their little personalities and expressions. The main focus for a family session is to keep the kids occupied; I aim for your images to look fun, relaxed and natural!
The location for your session is up to you but a favourite park, the woods, the beach, a field of spring flowers or maybe a tree-house are all excellent for keeping the kids entertained and happy. We can incorporate their interests and hobbies, using props and clothing to help their characters shine through and make your images truly unique!
I spent three years working for a well known portrait studio, working my way up to Style Director so I have plenty of experience working with children!


hooray for the first comic of 2008! In case you missed it there was a pretend-new-comic yesterday for christmas.
I think that ants crawl up my jeans and bite me on the leg, far more often than they do to anyone else. One time a wasp actually found its way up my pant leg and stung me just above my knee. It was an unlikely and horrifying event.

Bugatti sells for $1.5M to French Montana
Daniella Genovese
Fox Business December 30, 2019
French Montana is touting on social media that he's waking up in a new Bugatti -- a far cry from his days waking up in the ICU.
Karim Kharbouch, known by his stage name French Montana, took to Instagram following his hospital scare in November about the "lil gift" he bought himself for a hefty price of $1.5 million, TMZ reported.
The rapper posted a video on the social media platform showcasing the French luxury sports car, the Veyron, in Las Vegas. The car was produced by Bugatti, a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, which is known for its multimillion-dollar hypercars over its 110-year history. It was one of 450 ever made, according to Business Insider.
In the video the rapper is seen throwing toilet paper to the sky, which he says is "for the suckers," before jumping inside the car, giving followers a taste of what it's like behind the wheel.
"Fresh out of icu woke up in that new buggatti!!! lil gift to myself! feel like a boss move like a boss and taste like a boss lol," the rapper captioned the video in part.
The rapper reportedly wanted the car before New Year's Eve in order to celebrate the turn of a century on two feet, according to TMZ, citing sources it could not name.
The car was transported by the Los Angeles luxury car dealer Wires Only, according to the outlet.
JP Logistics & Motorsports, an automotive transportation company, posted a video on Instagram with the car being loaded up for delivery. "@wiresonly is the only dude that will call you at midnight to set up trucking... Same day hot shot service for @frenchmontana. Thank You #wiresonly for the love," the company wrote.
In November, the rapper spent nearly two weeks in the hospital after having intense stomach pain and an elevated heart rate, TMZ initially reported. After spending much of his time in the IUC, he updated fans later that month that he was finally getting better.

Studio Visit: Miron Milic Explains the Dark Humor in his Drawings and Murals
by Sasha BogojevPosted on April 13, 2015
Miron Milic has always believed that nothing is sacred and that there are no untouchable subjects or themes that art shouldn't or couldn't address. So the first thing that came to mind when the Zagreb, Croatia-based artist entered the world of street art was to paint a self portrait. Aware of the culture of anonymity in street art, he instinctively wanted to go against the grain, baring himself with an almost mocking image. Painted on a small electric plant in a busy residential neighborhood of Zagreb, this piece illustrates Miron Milic's artistic ideals in a nutshell.
A fan of visual expression from early age, Milic's turbulent childhood shaped his path to becoming an artist. The artist vividly remembers hearing the sounds of air strike alarms as a kid in the early 90s, during the Croatian War of Independence. After four months spent in a shelter with his family, life took a huge turn. He and his family moved around Europe to find a new start, and the young Milic dealt with his new life by visualizing ideas, concerns, opinions, or fears on paper. Around that time, he realized that everything can be turned into art and everything can be seen in a humorous way. This had a therapeutic effect on him.
Once his family settled in Zagreb, he finished the school of applied arts and later on graduated the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Zagreb. It took some time for the public to accept his comic-like visual language, which he often infuses with dark humor. But being a fan of honesty and unconstrained sketching, he refused to adapt to what was expected from a classic academic painter. It was his first experience with street art during MUU 2009 in Zagreb that gave him international exposure and earned him a following. He has been participating in various street art festivals ever since.
Nowadays, Milic paints and draws nonstop, literally sleeping with his sketchbook. He finds beauty in imperfections and mistakes, and has an appreciation for what some might call ugliness. His academic training comes in handy when he transfers his small-scale drawings onto walls for his large-scale murals. Sad, funny, and sometimes shocking, a clash of elements is what makes his work appealing.
Recently, Milic finished murals in Ljubljana and Rijeka, and is now heading to Moscow to participate in a City in Words event there. After that he'll continue working in his studio, getting ready for his solo show in September at Lauba in Zagreb.

NEW ORLEANS - A historic New Orleans cemetery that may have started the city's tradition of above-ground crypts will soon be off-limits to tourists on their own because of repeated tomb vandalism.
Starting in March, entry to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 will be restricted to relatives of those buried there and others accompanied by a tour guide registered with the Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans, which owns the property.
Spokeswoman Sarah McDonald says some unlicensed guides encourage people to deface tombs. She says other people have littered and camped out there.
And in late 2012, someone covered the reputed tomb of voodoo priestess Marie Laveau with pink paint.
Tour companies will have to show insurance and a city license, and pay the archdiocese up to $5,400 a year.

40 Virginia cases of Hepatitis A now linked to smoothies
PUBLISHED: August 30, 2016 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 12, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia health officials say there are now 40 confirmed cases of Hepatitis A that are connected to frozen strawberries used at Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations across the state, up from 28 cases less than a week ago.
The Virginia Department of Health said in a news release Monday that about 55 percent of the infected residents have been hospitalized.
There are more than 500 of the smoothie franchises across the country, and Virginia is not the only state affected
All the potentially contaminated Egyptian-sourced berries were pulled from the 96 Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations in Virginia no later than Aug. 8 or Aug. 9.
Officials say more cases could emerge, since some symptoms take as many as 50 days to emerge. The Hepatitis A virus affects the liver.

The British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom (BPCIF) supports the Prime Minister's statement on the "UK's firm political support for the Saudi action in Yemen, noting that it was right to do everything possible to deter Houthi aggression, to support President Hadi and his legitimate government." The Committee also fully backs Mrs. Rajavi's stance, in which she welcomed as inevitable the decision by Arab countries to confront the Iranian regime.
While the nuclear talks with Iran resume in Lausanne, members of both Houses of Parliament urge the UK government to adopt a firm stance against the Iranian regime as stated in the EDM342 Iran and Nuclear Weapons, a parliamentary motion supported by over 110 MPs.
On Wednesday, March 25, cross party MPs from both Houses of Parliaments, prominent jurists and solicitors as well as Human and Women's Rights activists joined the Anglo-Iranian community to celebrate the Persian New Year Nowruz in the House of Commons.
At a conference in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18th March, Iraq experts and cross party panellists from both Houses of Parliament discussed the current crisis in Iraq and the essential components for a successful policy to defeat terrorist groups like ISIS and Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias.
The conference's keynote speaker Struan Stevenson, who chaired the European Parliament's Delegation for Relations with Iraq (2009-2014) and President of the European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA), presented his comprehensive report on Iraq which concludes that Iran's strategy for regional supremacy has facilitated the rise of extremist groups like ISIS.
Sir Roger Gale MP, Dr Tahar Boumedra, the Rt Hon. David Jones MP, Struan Stevenson and the Lord Maginnis of Drumglass, discuss Iran's destructive meddling in Iran and the threat by the Iranian-backed militia to Iraq's future at a conference in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18th March.
The conference's keynote speaker, Prof. Alejo Vidal-Quadras, President of the International Committee in Search of Justice (ISJ) and the Vice President of the European Parliament (1999-2014) presented ISJ's new report "Islamic Fundamentalism and Terrorism: Solutions & Illusions".
The report is a comprehensive study of Iran's export of Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism with the aim of offering a new different approach to counter this new global threat.

Kingship and politics in the reign of Edward VI

The '.E..R.' of 'Edwardus Rex' conveniently suited the initials of his sister Elizabeth, so in 1563 Day voided '1549' and 'Vivat Rex' and reproduced the woodcut in John Foxe's first English edition of Acts and Monuments.

If You Come Softly
by Jacqueline Woodson
Jorjeana Marie
Listen to a sample Listen to a sample
A lyrical story of star-crossed love perfect for readers of The Hate U Give, by National Ambassador for Children's Literature Jacqueline Woodson—now celebrating its twentieth anniversary, and including a new preface by the author
Jeremiah feels good inside his own skin. That is, when he's in his own Brooklyn neighborhood. But now he's going to be attending a fancy prep school in Manhattan, and black teenage boys don't exactly fit in there. So it's a surprise when he meets Ellie the first week of school. In one frozen moment their eyes lock, and after that they know they fit together—even though she's Jewish and he's black. Their worlds are so different, but to them that's not what matters. Too bad the rest of the world has to get in their way.
Jacqueline Woodson's work has been called "moving and resonant" (Wall Street Journal) and "gorgeous" (Vanity Fair). If You Come Softly is a powerful story of interracial love that leaves readers wondering "why" and "if only . . ."

Girls command just 7% of U.S. farmland according to the 2012 Census of Agriculture from the United States Department of Agriculture.
Despite this fact, there are dozens of gals attempting to alter the confront of agriculture, like Diane Wu and Poornima Parameswaran of Trace Genomics, which utilizes soil science, genomics and machine discovering to measure microorganisms and fungi in soil.
These are just two of the ladies that Amy Wu, the creator and chief written content director of From Farms to Incubators, an impending show at the National Steinbeck Centre, seeks to endorse with her operate highlighting gals leaders and innovators in agricultural technological innovation.
Wu began creating about this subject matter when she was masking agriculture for The Californian.
She then received several grants to make a documentary on the matter. And even immediately after the documentary was produced, she identified that there have been extra stories to convey to.
Individuals would contact Wu and let her know about a different female in ag-tech.
"Finally, I said that there are so numerous inspiring tales that I'd really like to compose a ebook about it, set them into 1 area," Wu said.
Her forthcoming reserve telling the tales of females entrepreneurs, "From Farms to Incubators: Women Innovators in California Agtech" is set to be printed in April 2021.

The Steinbeck Heart will film the show and make it readily available to the public on its web page. They will also place the short films that were being intended to be element of a competition on YouTube.
"Everybody's been challenged by this [pandemic] so the museum is shut due to COVID," Wu reported. "Everybody's a little bit disappointed but protection 1st, correct? And also, everyone in this undertaking is actually dedicated to observing this through — the artists, the writers, myself, and the men and women at the Steinbeck Centre."

Eligible full-time and part-time workers will be able to take off the time during the first year of the birth or adoption of a child, starting with the new year, the Florida-based company said.
The new benefits come as retailers across the U.S. are facing a worker shortage, and some are offering new benefits to attract or retain workers. St. Louis-based Schnucks recently gave its grocery store workers a one-time retention bonus of $600.
"Publix is committed to being a great place to work, and we frequently review our benefits to continually offer a comprehensive package to our associates," Maria Brous, Publix's communications director said in an email.
The email didn't offer details on how much paid time off new parents would get.
The privately held, employee-owned company has 225,000 workers at almost 1,300 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Construction is progressing on both the premier Family Resource Center and the New Cottage. Despite some chilly temps and snow, the timeline remains fairly close to schedule with a tentative completion date of late August. Recently some of our Community Volunteers, including members of our Brae Builders, who help build homes with Morris Habitat for Humanity, received a tour of the new buildings.

Q: Redis Subscription + Rails ActionController::Live hangs In a single controller of a simple Rails 5 app, I have 2 actions (live and test), both using ActionController::Live. live goes through a loop and write random data to response.stream.write without any issues. It works.
In test however, I am using Redis.subscribe. Here is the action code:
        def test
            response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/event-stream'

            redis = Redis.new

                redis.subscribe_with_timeout(30, "abc") do |on|
                    on.message do |event, data|
                        puts data
                        response.stream.write data
                    end
                end
        rescue IOError
            # ignore
        ensure
            redis.quit
            response.stream.close
        end

The test method however doesn't work as expected. This is what happens:
I start the app and hit the test endpoint with curl. Curl stops waiting for data as expected.
Then in redis-cli I send a message to the abc channel. Immediately I see my message in the rails app window (puts data) and I see this in curl:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/event-stream
Cache-Control: no-cache
X-Request-Id: 25df052d-e3f2-4327-9a97-088e702460fa
X-Runtime: 2.709001
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

But while the all the consequent messages from redis-cli are printed on the rails side, they are not received by curl until the timeout is over (30 seconds in subscribe_with_timeout).
I am running Puma, have looked and implemented at all Stackoverflow answers regarding concurreny, heartbeat threads and more with no luck.

A: After much digging, it turned out you'd need a new line "\n" at the end of anything that goes out to response.stream.write for it to get out of the buffer.


While this website stays away from politics as much as possible, Australia is now entering election season. And while we could be up to four months away from the election proper various parties have already started spending money on ads and apps. This means that you might already be annoyed by the process before the main event has even happened. One of the early advertisers is Clive Palmer and he's put out an app. But the app permissions might make you think twice about downloading it.
A screenshot from the app. Looks…like something.
Irrespective of your views about Mr Palmer, his policies or his reputation, his app has been launched to try and get publicity for his election to the Australian parliament (again). Named The Humble Meme Merchant it's not the most polished app on any of the stores, but you can see the intent.
However Humble Meme Merchant has a bit of an issue in that it seems to require app permissions from the user for a whole variety of things that it doesn't actually need. Things like location, phone status and even reading your drive contents. This is obviously a ridiculous amount of access for an app that's just basically an ad.
And then there's this effort. Not hypocritical at all.
When sought for comment, the app's creator Mr Tom West advised the ABC that the app permissions were just a simple error. He stated that at no time would the app actually read any of the data and send it back to base. However there's nothing stopping any of this from occurring in Australia's political rules. Also, once you've given permission, there's nothing stopping the app or any future updates from actually mining your data later on down the track.
This also applies to the wider world of apps out there. When was the last time you downloaded an otherwise free app that seemed to ask for access to make calls and send text messages? Even worse a lot of these apps won't function without these permissions. Everybody needs to be careful when downloading apps from any stores. It doesn't matter if the store is tightly curated and how many positive reviews there are, users need to beware of whatever they're downloading.

Case Categories – A Better Approach?
Most grammars delineate the meaning of the cases by providing labels for usage. I propose that a better way of approaching case usage would be to describe cases based on verb types.
Virtually all of the categories suggested for the different cases have little or nothing to do with the cases themselves and everything to do with lexical semantics.
Wallace provides a good forty plus categories for the Genitive case. Why is the genitive usage so diverse? Well its actually quite simple. The genitive case is the default case for marking dependent relationships between two nouns. If you have two nouns where one is modifying the other, you're pretty much guaranteed to have one of them in the genitive. What that means is that the genitive case doesn't really mean any of those categories. They actually tend to be dependent upon the semantics of the head noun. And the same can be said for those verbs which require genitives.
For Wallace, the Dative comes in second for categories behind the Genitive. So why is the dative used in so many different ways. Again, its deceptively simple. Basically, the Dative is the default case for non-subject/object Noun Phrases.* Because of this the Dative case tends to typically express reference/recipient/benefaction and when it does the meaning tends to be verb specific. And again, its meaning is virtually dependent upon the semantics of word it modifies in the clause. This means that when a dative has meaning other than reference its not the Dative noun, but the verb that is causing it. Thus: The dative of destination is only used with propulsion verbs and Possessive Datives only occur with copula-like verbs.
we would then be able see students grasping the cases more quickly. I'm pretty confident the vast majority of you reading could guess at the cases that would go with each of the semantic roles listed for those verbs.
The latter of these is both out of print and expensive – though if you start putting money aside now, you might be able to picked it up HERE.
But Wong's book is relatively reasonable, especially if you were to get an Amazon gift certificate for your birthday…by the way many of you forgot mine on Saturday – you can make up for it HERE.
Anyway, what is needed now, is a comprehensive description of all Greek Verbs, a description that is also based on the most recent research on the connection between Voice and Verbal Lexical Semantics.
*Some would argue that the Dative is used as a direct object for verbs such as ἀκολουθέω, but I would argue that the dative is oblique and actually expresses, depending on how you want to characterize it, location, path, or goal – the latter two being subsumed under location. And I would argue similar arguments can be made for all so call "Dative direct object" verbs.
I don't know about this, Mike. It's interesting, but I'm rather dubious about some of it; I found myself feeling very ambiguous about the Danove book, perhaps even about the whole enterprise of "case-frame" analysis because it seemed to me to force some verbs into frame that they didn't fit. I'll certainly agree with you that Nominative and Accusative are easier to deal with, but I think there's more to the Accusative than object; I've always found the notion of "limit" or "limiting" more helpful in dealing with Accusative usage than anything else. As for the Genitive, there's more to it than adnominal dependency, although that accounts for a great deal; but there's partitive usage and especially ablatival usage that constitute much of how the Genitive can function with prepositions and verbs. As for the Dative, I think that the Locative and Instrumental-Comitative functions range more broadly than your suggested subcategories will work. Ultimately I'm not sure that the parsing categorization is very useful information for the language-user; he/she must acquire appreciation of the range of usage from encountering the whole range of usage practically in reading and (if possible) conversation. Far too much of usage is idiom, I fear — and that's usually going to throw categorizers for a loop sooner or later.
Carl concerns are, IMHO, well founded. The only thing that I'd add is that none of the terminology used by Danove (which I've been reading and re-reading off and on this winter) and (I'd guess) by Wong (which I've not read) will work well in a first year classroom. There may be some merit to some of the concepts, but until someone simplifies the terminology and explanations and coaxes them into closer alignment with what students will find in their standard tools, it will remain something that linguists talk about among themselves. I agree that Wallace has far too many categories and some simplification there would be helpful. But Carl's point regarding some specific uses (esp. prepositions in relation to the cases) might suggest that your proposal goes too far to the opposite extreme.
Dr. Decker, unlike Danove I'm less interested in the prepositions. I do not consider either what has been done by Danove or Wong as perfect, but I see significant potential – as you said there might be merit to some of the concepts.
And its just that potential that I want to emphasize. Semantic Roles have been come a significant part of virtually every syntactic theory for the past 20+ years.
Unfortunately, its only accessible for libraries.
The difficulty with case theory for Hellenistic Greek is, of course, the increased use of prepositions in addition to morphological case endings for nouns and adjectives.
There is a great deal of potential for the approach you outline in explaining the distribution of the morphological case forms outside of prepositional phrases. Much more work remains to be done, though, to come to terms with how the prepositions fit into the semantic roles scheme. Many years ago, I began to do research on that topic, but gave up for lack of time to dedicate to the endeavor. I wish you more success.
Keep thinking and writing, Michael. You'll discover great things!
Thank you for the encouraging word. I needed it this week.
Hi, Micheal. Too many years have passed since that pleasant afternoon we spent together.
περὶ μὲν θεῶν οὐκ ἔχω εἰδέναι, οὔθ' ὡς εἰσὶν οὔθ' ὡς οὐκ εἰσὶν οὔθ' ὁποῖοί τινες ἰδέαν· πολλὰ γὰρ τὰ κωλύοντα εἰδέναι ἥ τ' ἀδηλότης καὶ βραχὺς ὢν ὁ βίος τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. It is certainly difficult to overcome those restraints!
I've taken a similar approach to the one you outline in my elementary Latin classes, leaning on Woodcock's NEW LATIN SYNTAX for the categories. I'd say it's been a success.


Jane McAlevey | KPFA's Show Behind the News: Whither, #MeToo?
Liza Featherstone and I sat down together and discussed our assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of #MeToo one year since the Weinstein revelations. There's also a good pension segment before ours, but we begin our discussion at about minute 25:00 of the one hour show. This is a follow up to our initial discussion from December of last year on the same topic.

>Are you a hacker?
I wanted to be. And I had a promising start: In spite of living below the poverty line, my parents scrimped and saved to get a computer; they knew it was important. I took to the computer, learning a little bit of coding (which I loved). But Internet access would have meant more money, so I was saved from my own young criminal inclinations by our lack of funds. By the time we got Internet access, I found my focus too split (books, music, theatre, school, and relationships) and made peace with my non-hacker self.
>How does your love of music influence your writing?
When I write, I have soundtracks in my head (and usually on my speakers) that set the tone, and my first mental images of Peace Fire were more like music videos. I think music helped me build a sense of atmosphere, an idea of cool outside of what Hollywood tells me it is. Music, my own and others, also helped me accept that a non-stop, butterfly-filled utopia isn't actually the kind of place from which creations that connect with me tend to come. Not unless someone has at least been letting some moths in...
>What was it like writing Peace Fire?
It was a whirlwind, but not. My friend Ernie Cline gave me a warning of about a month to get a solid draft sorted before I needed to hand it off. I wrote a draft in 9 solid days, took a few days off, did a rewrite in 5 days, and then did one last rewrite in about 3 days once I had feedback from my beta readers. Insane, right? But the reason it worked, the reason it wasn't actually a whirlwind, was that the story had been growing in my head since I was a teenager. It started with one image and slowly expanded until I had something like a plot. It was a story I really enjoyed, so I told it to myself quite a few times. It was very ready to come out once I finally sat down to do it. Hopefully, the next books won't be massively harder. There are plenty of new elements, but also a few that have been minor stories I've told myself alongside Peace Fire for years now. (Don't worry; I'm good at work. If they're stubborn, it won't stop me!)
>Is the diversity of your characters meant to be a statement?
It's just meant to reflect the reality of the world I live in, of the people I know. I'm not averse to what I see treated as the "default" character (because he's also like people I know), I just don't see that sticking to that narrow character type serves people or is anything like "writing what I know." It might not have ruined my life to read mainly about straight, white, cis-gendered, able-bodied men, but I wonder what my life would have been like if I'd grown up on stories of people who were more like me. I'm an adult, a feminist, and in possession of serious self-esteem, but films like Star Wars: the Force Awakens, Mad Max: Fury Road, and the latest Ghostbusters felt like revelations to me. Wee-Amber would have been a fiercer, brighter creature with that kind of media in her life. (I'm thrilled to know that I'm actually part of a growing wave of creators showing a more real spectrum of humanity.)
>Are there any other books in the works?
There are! I definitely have at least two more books in this series, for starters. But I've also got a stack of poetry, most written before I had my band and my "lyrical brain switch"" flipped to lyrics instead, and I'm hoping to put together a collection of that. I've got a few other scifi ideas and at least one contemporary fantasy idea. And, of course, as I've been reading a lot about Autism since my own diagnosis in autumn 2014 and becoming more engaged with Autism acceptance and activism, I've been pondering whether that's the topic to satisfy my vague urge to do something non-fiction. (Starting at passion seems like a good start for anything, even non-fiction.) I was poking at short stories, but I haven't done enough to make a book (and haven't looked at them in ages, so might decide I have none at all worth publication). So, expect my list of published works to grow.
>Do you think the grim future you write in is fact or fiction?
Well, there's definitely plenty of fiction in there, but, yeah, I kind of think there's plenty of fact. I have hope for good things and believe humans have the capacity for good; however, it doesn't take more than a second of reading news to see that humanity seems, at best, inclined towards inaction and, at worst, strongly inclined towards being horrible to people, animals, and the world. Which is good for my creative fires, but...I'd happily give up creation in exchange for my hope being justifiably brighter.
Your brain needs a firewall
Peace Fire
(Peaceforgers: Book One)
Peace Fire released 11 October, 2016
In 2050, the world is a little denser, a little greyer, and a little more firmly under the corporate thumb. Wriggling carefully under that thumb, in their dimly lit flats, Katja and her friends have tended to walk the fine line between cyber criminals and cyber crusaders. For them, no physical reality compares to their lives built on lines of aggressive code.
But then somebody blows up the office where Katja is pretending to be a well-behaved wage slave and jolts them into the concrete and clouds of corporeal Seattle. Of brains infiltrated by a clandestine threat.
Can a handful of digital warriors win a war that stretches into the world on the flesh and blood side of their computer screens?
"A smart, fun, fierce tale of geek revolution and high-stakes adventure."

I followed one of my dancing motions through, spinning myself a bit to the side, just enough to let me easily grab the man by the throat and then move back in. I took advantage of his proximity to push a gun into his chest as well, and moved my own lips dangerously near his ear. "I think this is a conversation we ought to have somewhere a bit more private, don't you?" I wished I felt as badass as I sounded.
I had stopped dancing. So had a lot of the people near us. I could hear my friends talking to those people over the music, surely explaining to those nearby that this was an ex-boyfriend and there wasn't a problem. He liked rough stuff. We'd used that line before. It must have made sense to most people, because they went back to dancing but kept an eye on me and the man I held. Maybe they'd get a show. They'd love that, and I might like to provide it. I was riding the adrenaline that comes when you do something brave (really fucking stupid) in the face of fear. I was starting to feel cocky. And angry.
I once read that anger is a secondary emotion. When we feel it, it's really just there as a protection against some more vulnerable emotion we're feeling. For instance, if you're afraid because someone just blew up your workplace and you're feeling vulnerable because that same someone seems to have hunted you down, tracked you to locations they shouldn't know to find you, you might feel anger. You might, when face-to-face with them, feel nauseated that you'd previously considered making eyes with them and, to cover that nausea, feel a tide of righteous anger rise in you.
And, by "you," I mean "me."
I leaned in until my nose almost touched the man's nose. My jaw was hard, my teeth clenched both in anger and to stop them chattering from the fear it was covering. I was grateful he wasn't fighting this, because I knew perfectly well that I wasn't half as physically strong as I was acting. This was pure adrenaline and rage. "Let's find a nice corner. That will give me two different walls to slam you against."

Orkut no friend to the blind

By Mark Pilgrim | February 3rd, 2004 | Filed in Accessibility

								Skip to comment form

Anders Jacobsen points out that Orkut, the latest in a seemingly endless string of social networking clones, fails the most basic accessibility requirement: ALT attributes on images.  Specifically, the images that you select to accept or reject someone as your friend.

So-and-so added you as a friend.
Is So-and-so your friend?
[LINK] [LINK]

Update: Apparently Orkut also uses CAPTCHA images on registration — images of words distorted to make them difficult to read by computer programs.  CAPTCHA images have their supporters; their aim is to make the system more useful overall by preventing spammers from auto-registering thousands of accounts.  But thought needs to be put into such a system to make sure it is accessible to as many people as possible.  One technique is to provide a link to a music file where the user could type the word they hear.  Neither technique satisfies everyone, but the combination of techniques vastly reduces the number of people being discriminated against.

None of the debate over CAPTCHA has any bearing on the original report, though.  The lack of ALT attributes on “Yes” and “No” buttons is simply inexcusable.

NPFL: 3SC 's woes not financial, shake up imminent, says Club chairman
Brila 0	September 18, 2017 4:19 pm
The Executive Chairman of the Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC, Mr Gbolagade Busari has hinted that major decisions at improving the fortunes of the club will be made in a matter of weeks, emphasizing that the club's poor performance was not due to the lack of funding.
He said that both the 3SC players and the technical crew are going to be evaluated by the management with proper restructuring in the pipelines.
Busari, therefore, appealed to the teeming fans of the team to remain calm, assuring that necessary measures will be put in place to marshal the team back to the premiership in due course.
This was after the unfavorable outcome of Gombe United / Wikki Tourists rescheduled match in Maiduguri.
He disclosed that the current situation of the team was not as a result of lack of adequate support from the government, stressing that 3SC is the only agency that still gets its monthly subvention regularly from the government despite the cash crunch in the country.
Also, Mr. Gbolagade Busari on Monday in Ibadan, explained that the Club, 3SC, gets monthly subvention of N12m for players' salaries, technical crew and administrative staff while gate takings (at an average of N1m per match with the money realized from sponsorship deals) are all utilized for match prosecution, allowances as well as bonuses of the players.
He went further that no one should put the blame of the team's poor performance at the doorsteps of the government but rather the commitment of the players.
Busari said, "We tried everything we could, not to be in this situation but it's obvious our best is not enough.
We got the necessary support from the government but we have not been able to justify the investments on the club. "We collect our monthly subvention and our gate-takings are being used for the players.
We also used the proceeds realized from our sponsorship deals for allowances and bonuses of the players without interference from the government", he said.
"We had identified the problems even before the end of the season and necessary actions were put in place to ensure that these challenges did not lead us to relegation.
We will do everything within our capacity to ensure that the team bounces back in due course," Busari assured.

Minerva Imperial Tequila Ale is a beer denoting touches well rounded malt. Silk incredible feeling to the palate from its powerful 7% alcohol content. Aroma of fresh hops and faint hints of oak. Exquisite aftertaste of vanilla and snuff without leaving a smooth and elegant touch of Tequila. No doubt this style of beer we are proud to be the first beer style designed and conceived 100% in Mexico.

4Hurtles in the darken'd air.
8Orkney's woe, and Randver's bane.
12Each a gasping warrior's head.
14Shoot the trembling cords along.
16Keep the tissue close and strong.
20Tis the woof of victory.
24Hauberk crash, and helmet ring.
28Where they triumph, where they die.
32O'er the youthful king your shield.
35Spite of danger he shall live.
40O'er the plenty of the plain.
44Soon a king shall bite the ground.
50Clouds of carnage blot the sun.
52Sisters, cease, the work is done.
53Hail the task, and hail the hands!
54Songs of joy and triumph sing!
56Triumph to the younger king.
58Learn the tenor of our song.
63Each bestride her sable steed.
64Hurry, hurry to the field.

These are other miscellaneous 80's/early 90's things I've collected. I'm hoping to collect all the Yum Yums and most of the My Little Pony plushes later on :P. I've also recently (July 2015) discovered Frou Frou's!
There'll be an asterix next to the items added since the last update.

Public review of the Vanderbilt Corridor rezoning and the new One Vanderbilt tower reached another milestone when the Multi-Board Task Force issued a resolution opposing the plans on December 29, 2014. The Conservancy testified in front of the Task Force in November, asking that preservation be a more prominent part of rethinking Midtown East (Read our testimony here).
The Task Force resolution picked up on those points. In regards to the glassy base of the proposed 1,500-foot tower, they wrote, " Whereas we praise the Applicant for taking Community Board Five and Six's concerns regarding the harmoniousness of their proposed building with Grand Central Terminal into account and for attempting to resolve them by revising the design, the specific concerns raised by the proposed building's asymmetrical façade, use of glass and cacophonous base have not been alleviated." They also requested that the Landmarks Commission calendar landmark-quality buildings along Vanderbilt Avenue before the public review is completed, and be required to review any new developments with respect to their harmonious relationship with Grand Central Terminal.
The next step of the mandated public review process is the recommendation of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. The Conservancy will issuing a letter to her in January.
As the proposed Vanderbilt Corridor Rezoning began its public process, the Conservancy continued to raise questions about the rezoning, and the design of the giant tower proposed for the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue. Our remarks came at a November 17 public hearing of Community Boards 5 and 6 and the Tri-Board Task force on East Midtown.
The Conservancy asked that the Landmarks Commission and Department of City Planning work in concert so that the Commission could quickly designate the landmark quality buildings on Vanderbilt Avenue.
We reiterated that we do not see a harmonious relationship between the proposed One Vanderbilt tower and Grand Central Terminal, despite some design modifications to the base.
And we expressed concern that proposed Public Realm Improvement Bonuses could set the two public goals of preservation and transit against each other. Up until now, transit bonuses have been used in tandem with landmark transfers. But the proposal calls for an unprecedented increase of up to 15.0 FAR for transit bonuses, possibly diminishing the environment for landmark transfers. The Vanderbilt Corridor Rezoning also includes provisions to ease landmark transfers but the most likely development site—at One Vanderbilt—is already off the table.
The Conservancy will continue to speak out on this rezoning and serves on a task force examining the larger Midtown East area.
Conservancy testifies on Midtown East at Landmarks Preservation Commission and Department of City Planning, demanding that preservation is part of the plan.
The Conservancy is once again working to ensure that preservation is part of the plan to rezone Midtown East. The first proposals are focused on Vanderbilt Avenue, a five-block stretch across from Grand Central Terminal (GCT), that includes four buildings the Conservancy believes are landmark quality: the Yale Club, 52 Vanderbilt, the Roosevelt Hotel, and 51 East 42nd Street.
Warren and Wetmore, the architect of Grand Central, designed 51 East 42nd Street as part of Terminal City, a complex of buildings meant to complement GCT. Now that building is likely to be demolished and replaced by One Vanderbilt, a 1,300 foot-plus tower. In order to comply with the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), the architects were required to present the plans for the building and whether it has a harmonious relationship with Grand Central Terminal. The Conservancy's Public Policy Committee reviewed the proposal and found that the relationship was not harmonious. At a July 22 hearing, the LPC determined that it was.
The new building also requires a special zoning permit. The permit application is being presented in tandem with a proposal to rezone the rest of Vanderbilt Avenue to allow buildings with 30 FAR (floor area ratio), doubling the existing limits. The developers of One Vanderbilt will be required to provide substantial transportation improvements; however, the improvements are not yet binding and there is no clear outline of what other developers on the block would be required to provide in exchange for the floor area bonuses. Once again, the first draft of the plan does not acknowledge the value of the exiting historic buildings, as the Conservancy testified at a Department of City Planning public meeting on July 16. The full Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) public review process is expected to start in September.
The Conservancy is a member of a task force that will explore a plan for the larger Midtown East area. Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and Council Member Daniel Garodnick have brought together community leaders, planning and transportation experts, and civic advocates to meet through next fall and winter to develop a comprehensive vision for Midtown East.

Incremental Markdown Preview is a user script that modifies the Stack Exchange live Markdown preview pane to minimize the number of HTML elements that need to be replace every time the preview is updated.
For posts that use a lot of heavyweight features like MathJax, this should provide a significant performance improvement and minimize any flickering of the preview pane. It can also prevent some forms of interactive post content (such as embedded YouTube videos, when used together with SOUP on a site that has them enabled) from resetting whenever a different part of the post is edited.
Other than that, Incremental Markdown Preview should have no visible effects. It just makes editing work better and faster.
To install Incremental Markdown Preview, you will first need to install a user script manager such as Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey or Greasemonkey.
Once you have a user script manager installed in your browser, clicking the "download / install" button below should bring up a dialog asking you if you want to install Incremental Markdown Preview for Stack Exchange. Answer "yes".
Incremental Markdown Preview is hosted as a Gist on GitHub. Note that there is a known bug with Greasemonkey 4 on Firefox that may prevent installation of user scripts from GitHub. Until this bug is fixed, the simplest work-around is to use some other user script manager instead.
Incremental Markdown Preview is intended to be compatible with all modern browsers that support a Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey style user script manager. It requires no external scripts or resources and does not use the GM_* API.
In practice, Incremental Markdown Preview has currently been tested on Chrome and Safari with Tampermonkey and on Firefox with Violentmonkey. I've used it myself for several months on all these browsers with no issues, but I would still welcome more extensive testing on different browsers (especially Edge) and on different Stack Exchange sites with different custom features (like MathJax, syntax highlight, Stack Snippets, etc.). I would also like to learn of any incompatibilities with other popular user scripts.
Eventually, I'm planning to incorporate Incremental Markdown Preview into my Stack Overflow Unofficial Patch (SOUP) user script / extension, and also to submit an equivalent patch directly to Pagedown. Incremental Markdown Preview is designed to be 100% compatible with SOUP, including its embedded YouTube video preview implementation. In fact, that feature was the original motivation for implementing Incremental Markdown Preview.
Incremental Markdown Preview is also meant to be compatible with all Stack Exchange syntax and editing extensions, including MathJax, code syntax highlight and Stack Snippets.
Note that, with Incremental Markdown Preview enabled, changes to "non-local" configuration options like \newcommand in MathJax or <!-- language-all: ... --> in syntax highlight may not immediately propagate to all affected parts of the post being edited. Normally, editing the affected parts of the post directly should be enough to trigger an update. While reports of any other such delayed propagation issues are welcome, they're more or less unavoidable without adding special-case handling to force a full preview pane refresh when such non-local changes are made, which I'm not planning to add in this version of Incremental Markdown Preview.
Stack Snippets have their own HTML caching mechanism that effectively bypasses Incremental Markdown Preview. While this should not cause any actual problems, it does mean that Incremental Markdown Preview provides no real rendering speedup for Stack Snippets, and that all snippets are still reset to their default state whenever the preview pane is updated.
If you experience any problems with Incremental Markdown Preview, please let me know about them e.g. by posting a comment or an answer below. Reports of successful and problem-free use are also appreciated, especially on browsers which Incremental Markdown Preview has not previously been tested on.
The browser, OS and user script manager you're using.
The version of Incremental Markdown Preview you have installed.
Any other potentially relevant user scripts or browser extensions that you're using (including any Stack Exchange / Stack Overflow specific scripts, as well as any ad blockers, security extensions and extensions that modify page styling or content).
The Stack Exchange site and page where you experience the issue.
Of course, you should also clearly describe the issue itself (i.e. what happened, what was supposed to happen). It's also helpful if you can give an exlicit list of steps to reproduce the issue or, if you cannot reliably reproduce it, a detailed description of what you were doing when it happened.
If there are any errors or warnings logged into your browser's JS console, those would also be helpful.
to the browser's JS console for every preview pane that it detects and patches. This is mainly useful for verifying that the script is actually running.
